Chapter 6 Progress

Thinking back, there are a lot of unusual things that happened.

However, one thing filled her mind. A dead coming back to life is more plausible and possible to happen than the odds of having a person from another world to be thrown away without even a notice, into a world of unknown, but obviously time of the past. That was rude. Extremely rude.

'No phone, no television, no technology, what a life. I only felt living that kind of life for a while and experience what life with freedom feels like, but it's such a short moment.'

'Life feels so unfair and annoying to the point of making me want to tear up every now and then. And then, I came in this body to wait and die? What a shitty life it is.'

Sierra grumbled inwardly.

She kept grumbling and pinching her skin to give proof that she's not dreaming. Her skin became red and sore with nail marks but reality seems not to kick in. No, she can't accept it.

But... she's now Aillenne, the unfortunate character, destined to not receive love but die for the second time, by playing a role of a villainess.

'Villainess also have the right to receive love and live life. Why are they always destined to die? Is it because they hinders the love of the main leads? Because they wreck havoc and gives trials and tribulation to the characters?'

'Why is it always that only the main protagonists have a happy ending? Does antagonists not deserve it too?'

It has always been a rule in any story.

Villains die because they are bad, then the protagonist who tears the bad apart are heroes and destined to receive love, adoration, honor and favor of all the people. The people will then mock the grave of the villain.

Can we twist it a bit? Just a little bit? I mean, should we also give justice to the lives these villains live? There might be reason as to why they become one.

But in my case, the original mentioned three times that she'll be executed. What does it imply?

Of course, this character should die. Die, die, die. But...

"Am I just going to die? Aillenne will die young and without receiving any love from her parents. We're basically the same in experience."

"Did I say that she should've escape? Yes, escape! That's the right answer."

Knowing the basics of the story and the fate of Aillenne's character, she steeled her resolve to escape from this hell, and as soon as possible.

"What should I do first? How should I escape? Goodness this is thrilling knowing that I'll die at the end of the day."

Sierra Zynne who is now Aillenne, said sarcastically.

'How am I supposed to escape from this damned place? If only I knew her setting looks like this,' she said and looked at the maids who were treating her like trash, 'then, I shouldn't have made a comment that she'll just escape. Who would have thought that the treatment is much worse than I imagined?'

Some of the settings do coincide with the original. The cold and desolate west house and the garden that the original Aillenne always walks with every morning.

Other than that, it relies on how I perceive the setting. But you can really see the difference of the words of the author from a book and the reality of the book.

Since Aillenne isn't the protagonist, only a few words amounting to just a page were mentioned all throughout my current read. Hence, I have to look into some of the understatement the book.

There are a lot of understatement, actually. Like what it meant of the west house is actually an old warehouse and when it says cold it meant almost freezing due to the limited supply of firewood.

The setting is harsh for this character. Does the author have hatred for this character? This is crazy and mind numbing.

There's so much to say, however to cut it short, Aillenne was destined to become a villainess and to die.

Since I'm Aillenne now, should I change my fate of being killed?

If Aillenne became the obsessed and possessive antagonist, I'll just try not to meet the crown prince!

Yes, yes that's right. Surely. Let's use up what Aillenne had and live a good life.

Right. Right. I don't need to stick to the original.

Wait--!

What if I try dying? I am destined to die anyway.

Then I won't prolong my agony, perhaps I will go back to my world again? And much simpler at that.

"I forgot to check if I have turned off the faucet of the bathtub.

Did I even charged my phone? I still have new videos to watch.

Yes that's right. I should return home now."

This is not home.

The nanny was worried when she saw the changes of her precious young lady, nevertheless, she'll accept whatever changes she have as long as the lady is alive.

***

The sun is bright and the birds chirped happily. The colorful flowers bloomed and it would certainly alleviate the mood, but not for Aillenne.

It's already been 4 months since Sierra has been transmigrated to Aillenne's body, and now she's all the way to plan G.

All the preceding plans failed.

A. She tried slitting herself but the knife she held were not sharp.

After trying to do so, the kitchen became more strict and always on look out for her.

B. She tried drinking a gross looking soup with questionable ingredients, hoping that she'll die of upset stomach.

However, it made her more healthier as it is a finely concocted soup filled with healthy herbs by the chef assigned to her house. The chef came from a tribe known for their ability to make use of ingredients in an amazing way.

C. Aillenne tried jumping from her window--- but a knight doing his rounds caught her safely.

Now he even became her escort.

D. She pushed through a hunger strike in hopes that she'll die of hunger.

But she eventually gave up when the servants served her food she didn't have the chance to eat in her previous world. It is so delicious and not eating the food makes it a grave sin.

Big failure.

E. She sneaked in the doctor's office to take medicinal ingredients hoping to die.

Instead, she made a new medicine capable of healing stomach ache and migraine faster and more effectively.

F. Her last attempt is that she went down the basement to offer herself to the monster.

She often heard the maids whispering about the monster underneath the house. What she saw is not a monster but a sculpture of a man with hands outstretched.

She held the hands of the man and the sculpture shone. The breeze filled the small room making the lamp she held, flicker.
