When Viola open her eyes, the scene and dream from her previous life came back and show her something she doesn't like to remember.

There, a skinny 17 years old girl that has no hope in her dead violet eyes, turned her head towards the crowds who look at her with such disgust and frown.

She's waiting for something that's not going to happen.

The people who judge, laugh, and hates her.

The ones who pretended not knowing everything.

And the ones that look down on her.

No matter how many times she asked for help, no one is going to listen and no one is going to believe the words of a Villainess.

"Do you have any last words?"

She was too tired to even utter a word. She cannot feel anything except guilt and remorse.

In the end, she turned back her head without saying anything.

The one that put her in that pitiful state.

The one that look very satisfied to see her death.

She let out a bitter laugh while looking at the world.

The guillotine that consists of a tall, upright frame with a weighted and angled blade suspended at the top.

She is secured with stocks the bottom of the frame, positioning the neck directly below the blade.

The blade then was released, swiftly and forcefully decapitating her with a single, clean pass so that the head falls into a receptacle below.

She,

Viola Univers,

At the age of 17,

Died without any honour.

Watching her own execution that happened in her previous life.

One year after Violette came into the mansion,

She was executed because of her crimes.

-

Viola slowly pull the chair backwards, take her place, and tuck in the chair gently.

She sit up straight at the table because this will give people a good first impression. She tried not to look stiff and nervous, this will put her teacher on edge.

She hold the knife in the right hand as she stab the fork into the meat, carefully and gently. While holding the food in place with the fork, she cut oof a small piece with the knife.

She put the fork and knife in the middle of the plate side by side and wait till the maid collects it. This means that she's finished and are ready to be served the next course.

For soup, she eat it from the side of the soup spoon and doesn't slurp on it because that'll be extremely rude and will make others uncomfortable.

When she chew, she keep her mouth closed, and doesn't talk until she swallow every last bite.

Ilaria's lips form a wide small as she clapped her hands. "That's a really good performance, Lady Univers. You learned table manners and mastered it only for two days. As expected of a child that has the Univers bloodline."

Viola smiled at her compliment and praised herself for it. That way, Damon's effort hiring a teacher will be payed by her hard work.

"Let's move on to the next lesson."

-

Viola stood closer, facing Valerian about a foot (30 cm) apart. He will be her partner for her dancing lessons because he wanted to.

He place his hands on her waist as she put her hands on his shoulders.

They sway side to side to the rhythm of the music. Sheb sway gently from side to side, at the same time as Valerian.

"One, two, three, one, two, three, one two three." Ilaria exclaimed while counting the steps, smiled satisfyingly at Viola's income.

"My sister is truly a genius." Valerian complimented with a gentle smile while looking at her lovingly.

"My sister is truly a genius." he did say that in my previous life,

. . . As a sarcasm.

I just sweatdrop as I form an awkward smile, didn't know whether it's a sarcasm or not.

-

"Listen Lady Univers, the first step to become a Lady is to have elegance. Of course fretting, tripping, nagging, sweating, bragging, and slipping are not allowed."

"It's going to be quite hard though. . . especially sweating since it's normal to sweat. . . Maybe I'll just follow some of it." she thought nerveously.

"Breath gently, you must take every step you take lightly and don't forget to form a smile, and bow politely in the right way."

Ilaria explained briefly while looking at me with a serious look. "Since Lady Univers is a genius, I'm sure she can do that without any problems."

I nodded in understanding as I form a warm smile.

With that,

Etiquette lessons ends there.

-

"Yo."

Viola's eyes opened to be greeted by the alluring green eyes that she longed for. It's a mysterious weird feeling.

Around this time that she notice she's in nothingness. White walls surrounded her and there stood her magic guardian, Licht.

Noticing that it should be her time to sleep and not being summoned here making her sighed tiredly.

"Is there something I can help you with, Licht?" she asked, trying to be polite as she can in that tiring situation.

". . . Don't sleep. Keep talking to me. I will follow the time of the reality."

Her eyes went wide. "But, I really need a good sleep-"

"You'll have a bad dream."

"Is he talking about my previous life? It's logical if he knew. He's my magic guardian after all." she thought with a small smile plastered on her face.

"But-"

"Just today. Vio, accompany me, just for today. . ." In his voice, she could hear a faint crack on his last sentence. His eyes filled with concern and desperation. He even run his hand around his hair frustratingly that she doesn't even know the reason.

". . . I understand. I'll stay up with you for the day." she exclaimed with a gentle smile while looking at him who is still looking at her worriedly. "But even though my bad dreams would come, I don't mind it. I accept it as my mistake from my previous life. It's always going to be a reminder for me to become a better person and-"

"Stop it."

She immediately shut her mouth the moment his cold, piercing voice that is similar to Edward's voice in her previous life left his mouth.

Licht walk towards her as he grab her right arm forcefully making her eyes went wide in confusion.

"Don't say anything else." his alluring emerald eyes turned into a cold and dark one.

It's like she said something that trigger something inside him.

That made him angry.

Not only anger are visible on his eyes, even guilt and she can see it.

". . . I apologise if I said something that is unpleasant for you to hear, Licht." she exclaimed softly while looking at his emerald eyes with her violet one.

His eyes went wide in realisation as he let go of my arm. He look confused, sad, angry, and guilty.

There's too much emotions mixed inside him.

". . . S-sorry." he suddenly apologize. "I-I didn't mean to do that." he turned around as he put both of his hand on his ear, like he didn't want to hear anything coming from her mouth.

She notice something about Licht,

He is paranoid about something.

Too paranoid.

It's like he's stuck between something that made him like this.

That somehow,

Pained her heart.
