《I Am an Evil Lord Yet, Why Are They Happy to Serve Under Me?》Chapter 02 : A Certain Villainess' Dilemma
Advertisement
Inside a carriage, a young girl is nervously clenching the hem of her dress.
"This is it, Yubel. This is going to be the first time you are going to meet two main male leads of the Otome game. Act normal. Don't act like a villainess. Everything will be fine," she reassured herself.
The girl has aqua blue hair, pale skin, and sapphire blue eyes. She is currently nine years old and is the only daughter of Duke Zestinia.
But she has a secret that she cannot tell anyone. It is the fact that she is the reincarnator and had reincarnated into the Otome Game that she played in her previous life.
"This marquis invited both the first prince and the future hero for the coming of age ceremony of his son. Note to self, do not go near first prince Alex and the future hero Bright," she made the mental note.
Moreover, she had reincarnated as a villainess. When she got her previous life memories because of the hit on her head, she immediately fainted again.
"Seriously, how much did the developers of 'Star of The Seven Sins' hate this character? The only route she came out alive is the good end of the 'Silent Silver' route. Sh*tty Devs," she cursed.
She was just a normal office worker in her previous life. Without a boyfriend nor close friends, she immersed herself in the world of games and novels. No, she didn't watch anime. She was killed by the truck rushing through the red light. Before she died, she saw a man with a black business suit standing near her. After that, she blacked out.
The time she got her previous life's memory back is a year ago. Starting that time, she had made sure to avoid her destruction flags. She did that by avoiding most of the main characters. But she couldn't avoid this time even if she wanted to. This time, it was urged by her father after all. Her father got worried that she didn't attend the social events and told her to attend this event to make friends. Her father is already there as he went to the event before her.
The upside is that she got the System that can tell her the skills, title, and emotion of the target. When she used it on her parents, she almost cried because of their love. Both of them love her dearly. That is also one of the reasons that the parents of the villainess are popular among the players.
During one of the routes, they exchanged all of their wealth and the nobility title just to free her from the death sentence. But just before she got released, she was assassinated by one of the male leads. According to Part 2 of the game, they conspire with the demon race to drag this empire into ruin because of their hatred for the empire.

While she was thinking about the plot, the carriage had already arrived at the mansion. When she gets inside it, she was greeted by many people dressed in various colors.
"Lady Yubel Zestina had arrived," the announcer announced.
She made way like a proper lady. Or so she tried to. Her eyes are immediately drawn to the dessert corner. Yubel had her priority straight. She walks her way directly toward the dessert. But there is an obstacle heading her way. It was none other than the main actor of this event, Raz Oak, the son of Tango Oak.
"It is my pleasure to meet you, my lady. My name is Raz Oak. May I know your name?" he flashed the gentlemanly smile.
"It is also nice to meet you. My name is Yubel Zestina. I –," Just when she was going to say something, her words was cut off.
"Oh! I thought so. Your appearance is more beautiful than what the rumors described you," the boy said while spreading out his arms.
Of course, like a normal girl, she was freaked out by him and used her Appraisal skill on him.
[Name: Raz Oak]
[Title: None]
[Skills: Flattery, Fire Magic (Basic), Sword Art (Intermediate)]
[Thought about you: Lust]
"As I thought. Typical young nobles from isekai," she thought while heaving a sigh.
"Excuse me, I have something else to do," she quickly ran away from there.
While she was walking aimlessly in the ballroom, she came across another person. Someone with blond hair, green eyes, and wearing like some kind of royalties.
"Nope, I am not dealing with him," she immediately turns back and proceeds to another place. But of course, not without using her Appraisal skill.
[Name: Alex von Starfall]
[Title: First Prince of the Starfall Empire]
[Skills: Politics (Intermediate), Sword Art (Intermediate), Elemental Magic (Intermediate)]
[Thought about you: Curious]
"How did he know about me!" she screamed internally. "But the skills are as expected of a genius prince."
When she turns around, she saw someone who she doesn't want to see. A boy with raven black hair and a handsome face.
"Geh, the future hero. Why am I so unlucky?" she moaned.
[Name: Bright Coven]
[Title: Beloved of the Goddess of Light]
[Skills: Sword Art (Advance), Physical Enhancing Magic (Intermediate)]
[Thought about you: Nothing. He doesn't know about you.]
"Scary! The future hero is scary. At least Princess Azalia is still alive and kicking at this point in time. He would go berserk when he heard the news about her death by the hand of the demons. And the heroine will be the one who will heal his heart," thought Yubel.

She walks her way toward the desserts area since there aren't many people in the area. Then, without caring about the surrounding, she sucks in the cakes like a vacuum. Not long after that, she choked because the fruits are sticking to her throat.
"Are you okay?" Someone handed her the orange juice.
"Puhaa! Thank you. Without you, I don't know what will –," she stopped what she was talking about when she looked at the person who handed her the juice.
He has white hair and purple eyes. His looks are above average for sure. But that is not the reason why she stopped. She knows about this person. This person shouldn't be at this event. He should be going on the journey as an adventurer to make money for his parents. She quickly used her Appraisal on him.

She got hit by a headache instantly. "Why does he have so many skills?! And I can more or less read the title. 'Bearer of Pride'. Does that mean he got the Sword of Pride? Isn't that the sword of the merchant male lead? Did I stumble upon AU?"
"Are you alright?" he asked again.
"Eh? Err… yes. I am okay. I am sorry for worrying you. My name is Yubel Zestina. Daughter of the Duke Abel Zestina. It is a pleasure to meet you and I thank you for your help," she gave him the bow befitting of the noble girl.
"It is nice to meet you too. My name is Urien Gregorios. I am nothing but a son of a count," he also gave him the bow befitting of the noble.
[Profile Update!]
Suddenly, she got a notification from her System.
[Name: Urien Gregorios]

[Thought about you: Curious]
"Sorry to say this to you, young lady. You shouldn't use Appraisal on every person you see," her heart dropped when she heard that from him. After all, no one was able to notice the Appraisal before.
She looked at the boy's eyes. There is some kind of light ring surrounding his pupil. When she blinked her eyes, those light rings are gone.
"I… I am sorry. I got curious after getting this skill randomly," she lied. Instead of calling it a System, she called it a skill.
"Is that so? Then it was not your fault for not noticing the fact that someone can sense the Appraisal skill. But do be careful. Most of the highly trained knights and the magicians can know immediately when someone used Appraisal on them and they will not hesitate to kill you if that happened," he gave her some advice.
She can do nothing but nod. After all, she just knows that there are people that can use Appraisal and they will not tolerate it if someone used Appraisal on them.
"That is also why some people use skills to prevent Appraisal skills being used on them. After all, if the opponent knows about your information, you are as good as lost in the match. So, be careful with using that skill," after saying that he went toward the place where chocolates are placed together with a maid following him.
"Wait, is that Sakuya Izayoi following behind him? It can't be, right? It must be someone who looks like her," she thought. And then she thought about the advice he gave her and smiles.
"Just like in the VN, he might be the kindhearted man after all. The male lead of 'Silent Silver' route," she is now smiling happily.
The 'Silent Silver' route is the most popular route in the Game because of the male lead aka Urien's kindness and his unwavering spirits. He is also the one who will protect the empire from the demon invasion. And she also had a crush on his adult self. He is a perfect husbando material after all. He can cook for you, protect you, and willing to bear your burden together with you after you had captured his cold heart. She kept daydreaming the rest of the day.
Now, back to MC just before he got his gacha rewards.
(AN: I know the fact that I will get beat up by you guys if I don't inform you about the rewards MC got.)
