My Man Is A Villain, So Am I!

Chapter 7 - 7: The Extra(3)

Aurora (Eun-Kyung)'s POV

Marinette Mortel, the main villainess of the novel Sun-hee recommend me.

Sun-hee always said about how she loved the villainess, she was cool, smart, and cool. It was fun listening to her all day long--

It wasn't time to think about the old memories, Sun-hee was no longer my friend. It was better for her to not befriend someone like me.

I really hoped she survived back on earth, her body was picked up at the hospital. I even saw Ji-hoon holding her hand the whole time sobbing.

She will survive, if I killed her in this world, there will be a chance her soul will go back to the world.

That was what I guess, but nothing was confirmed. The voice never said anything to me after giving me the first mission.

I thought the mission was to kill her immediately but it wasn't.

Instead, it was [Mission 1: Become the talk of the capital.]

I really didn't know what did it mean by that? Did I have to become a joke or anything in the capital?

Anyway, back to Marinette.

Just like I said, my goal was to kill Sun-hee, so I needed to gather power as much as I could until that mission arrive and found out who she reincarnated into.

And gathering power will also help me revenge for this body too, I will claim all of the property of the marquess.

I won't let it fall into the hand of Armando, and about that woman, I really couldn't believe she was her mother.

Marinette was the current person who held the most power at the moment according to the novel, she recently had complete control over her death roses magic which allow her to get out of the basement and claim back the title of the duke's daughter.

And the other one was the title of the fiance of the male lead, the second prince, the crown prince of the empire.

This body was a friend of Diana since I read all of the letters in her room, and they even gave gifts to each other. One of the gifts was a black cat.

Although I loved the female lead, there wasn't any time for me to fangirl over her. I had to find my way to survive in this world.

One thing I was afraid of at that time was Sun-hee reincarnated into the female lead. Because I heard the trend about people often reincarnated into the female lead's body.

I hope it wasn't the case.

"The scenery here is beautiful, lady Aurora." the villainess walked inside the field of pink roses in the garden of this household.

She was acting like her duchy didn't have the garden of roses, they were the only family who had the unique magic called death roses magic with half of the military in their palm.

She was exactly how she was described in the novel, white silky hair, and purple eyes. But behind that eyes, nothing could be trusted. To sum it up, she only knew how to use people.

That was the reason why I sent the invitation to her, in the novel she tried to take Diana's people to her side many times.

In this life, I will stay on both sides, Marinette and Diana's. When the crown prince abandoned Marinette, she will still have the title of the duke's daughter. And I will use her worst situation to comfort her at that time and use her as much as I could.

And Diana will become the fiancee of the crown prince, I will also gain a lot by being her friend.

But there was a difficult task for me since I had to keep this relationship hidden from both of them.

"This rose really suits you, lady Marinette."

"Just Marinette is fine. That way we could be closer, right? Can I call you Aurora too?"

Was she this friendly? No, she was just trying to manipulate me.

"Can I...really call you that?"

"Of course, you're my first friend after all...ah, sorry for saying that."

Right, this woman never had a friend before. She spent most of her life in the basement to control her death roses magic.

"It's alright. I'm really happy for being friends with you...Marinette."

I should do my mission now, there might be a time limit.

"Marinette, do you want to go walking around here?"

"Yes, I always wanted to see Madeline's territory." she sounded really energetic.

There was some sort of smell coming from her, it was sweet like a rose and the other smell was familiar.

We walked around the place with her knight walking behind us, I really wanted to be alone with Marinette.

It would be convenient for me to get some information out of her. I should get this guy away from us.

When I glanced my eyes looking at that tall knight, I noticed his unique red hair and eyes.

He was one of the love interests. It would be better if it was any other person than him.

This guy was such a pain in the a*s. He was a spy sent by the male lead to watch Marinette's every move and at the same time, protect Diana.

I didn't know why he was one of the love interests because, in the story, there was nothing confirmed about him loving Diana.

He continued to serve Marinette until the day he died by a mysterious assassination.

The gaze he looked at Marinette, somehow it kinda looked like that man's gaze back on earth.

Why did he look at Marinette like that? Did he love her? He kept looking at...

Huh? Blood?

I was in shock by the unexpected sight of blood behind Marinette's neck. Was that why she came late?

"Excuse me, Lady Madeline. I had something to talk to my lady for a moment."

"What is it, Flynn?"

He moved his head at her ears, their faces were close to each other, I could see his ear turned pink when he realized how close he was.

"Yes, don't mind me."

"Then, please wait here a bit, Aurora." I smiled watching them walk away to the remote alley.

I followed them behind, and I really wished I didn't.

I never knew such a thing happening between them.

The way Flynn took off the bandage around her neck, was so gentle, he treated her as if she was a gem in his hand.

Marinette put her long hair on the side for him to put the ointment on. I looked at the cut behind her neck, it wasn't deep.

"Flynn, should I apply more lipstick? My lip started to turn pale again."

"No one will notice it. You should take care of your wound. I really hope you could return back to the mansion soon. You might collapse of blood loss."

The villainess shouldn't be a target for anyone to kill her around that time, that meant the author didn't show us in the story or Sun-hee changed the story since she arrived before me.

Marinette always chased after people for their affection just like how she did with her brother and her father. I couldn't blame her for not receiving any of their affection since she was the reason why her mother died because of her birth.

She was the reason why Tristan, her brother had a traumatic childhood of the loss of his mother, and duke Jellal was the one who suffered the most losing his beloved wife, the one who saved him from the darkness.

That was why I was so happy that they could find their happiness and their light again when Diana was born.

But one thing I didn't agree with other readers was how they treated Marinette was right. She grew up to be the person she was because of them. If only they treated her better, she won't become a villainess.

This novel was full of drama and romance, I should be going around the plot and stealing the female lead's love interests by then if it wasn't this body I reincarnated into and the mission.

"You're back, Marinette. I bought this for you." I gave her the food I bought for her, she was smiling innocently and accepted it.

"And this one is for your knight."

"Thank you so much, Aurora."

"Here, say thank you to Aurora too." she shared a piece of it and gave it to Flynn, their height difference was really adorable when Flynn lowered himself for her.

These two would make a great couple but the only thing that await them was death.

Marinette (Sun-hee)'s POV

As I thought, she only tried to use me. In the original novel's side story, she was quite a manipulative person.

She tried to befriend both Diana and Marinette to gain power, to help her get a better marriage.

I cut my own neck from behind to keep Flynn from getting suspicious of me, even with a bandage surrounding my neck, she didn't even bother to ask.

I made my blood bleed on purpose when she was glancing at Flynn but she still didn't bother.

Aurora in the story, in the end, Diana finally caught on to everything she did to Diana. Diana felt betrayed because her friend was friends with Marinette the whole time, the woman who made her suffer.

Diana broke off their friendship, and Aurora got many bad rumors talking about her since then. In the end, she was married to a baron although she was supposed to get married to Tristan if she didn't mess up.

I thought of supporting her goal to marry Tristan since I could keep Tristan in control if she did but when I saw such a thing from her, I felt disappointed.

There was no such thing as friendship for me in this life and the past life as well.

"Sir!!!!"

What was with the commotion?

Aurora's loud voice was all over the place, she was looking at something behind me. I turned my back and there was Flynn lying on the ground.

This idiot!!

I asked him many times whether he was okay or not using two major spells in a row but he kept shaking his head telling me he was okay.

"Flynn!! Flynn, wake up."

I slapped his face gently. I didn't know how to give my magic energy to him.

People started gathering around us, and no one stepped forward to help this man.

Everyone when they saw the mask on my face, they knew me immediately as that duke's daughter, abandoned daughter of the duke, and no one helped him.

There was really no other way, I was intending to pick him up and carry him but suddenly,

"Let's take him to the hospital." Aurora, the fragile woman with arms smaller than Flynn's two times was carrying him like a princess in her arm.

I was going to carry him the same way with the support of magic but to think, she could do it with raw strength.

How in the world did she do that???!!!

Aurora (Eun-Kyung)'s POV

[Mission 1 complete! Congratulation! You will become the talk of the town for the full week.]

Phew.

Although I will be punished by the Marchioness later on, I had to complete my mission first.

This body was punished because of her superhuman strength, she broke a teacup in the tea party, that was why her mother punished her.

Now I gained some trust from Marinette, just one more push, she will be trusting me.

"You should get your neck treated too since you're here."

I was waiting for a perfect chance to say this. But now everything worked out for me.

She looked at me with eyes glittering.

"Thank you for helping Flynn."

"It's alright since I don't like seeing people getting sick in front of me." I said with a smile and acted like how I was back in Seoul.

She must find me weird...

"Aurora, thank you again. I'm really glad to have you as my friend."

Maybe this villainess wasn't as bad as they said her to be, I shipped her with Flynn though. I really wished for her to have a different ending this time--

My happiness at that time vanished when the voice rang in my head,

[Mission 2: Meet Tristan and hold a conversation. Duration: 5 minutes.]

'This is like homework now.'

Marinette (Sun-hee)'s POV

<Sun-hee ah! You shouldn't let your father treat you this way. Look at all the bruises.>

<I'm alright, Eun-Kyung.>

<Still, you're hurt and I couldn't help you. I don't like people getting hurt in front of me.>

Those used to be a happy moment for me, just like the light in the tunnel when Eun-Kyung was still my friend. We used to have that conversation when we came to school.

The happy memories were the most painful when you thought of it again when the other person was no longer the same.

Buying street food, walking at the park, and Eun-Kyung stood up for me against those bullies. That moment hurt too much, I hid at the corner of the hospital hiding my teary eyes behind the mask.

Why?

...why did I remember that moment when Aurora said that?

To think one of the people I miss was also her. I never knew it was such painful to leave her suddenly like this. The day I died back then was her birthday too. I didn't wish her or anything.

I was afraid when I heard Aurora wanting to become my friend, I was afraid of becoming friends with someone because I didn't want the thing that happened back then to happen again.

'Am I even allowed to have friends?'

To be continued....!
