The Villainess' Mad King
She was...
*inspired from the book Alice In Wonderland*
Once upon a time, there lived a girl inside the story
Her name was Malina Hearts and she was a princess from the Hearts Kingdom
She was a free-spirited optimistic girl who was curious...about everything
who wouldn't be curious when you lived in Wonderland and were royalty...?
But...she was free-spirited, optimistic and curious
there was a strong emphasis in "was"
Malina Hearts (FL)
*making a pyramid out of wine glasses
She was enthusiastically making a pyramid and placing them on top of each other...
Smiling to herself in pride
And she knew that she shouldn't be doing this...
She knew her mother would yell at her
But who could convince a child to stop doing what she wanted?
It's not like anything could stop her
Malina Hearts (FL)
*got down from the kitchen table and took out more wine glasses from the cabinet
Not even royal maids were here
Malina Hearts (FL)
Painting the roses red,
We're painting the roses red...
Malina Hearts (FL)
*singing under her breath happily while placing a wine glass on top
Malina Hearts (FL)
We dare not stop or waste a drop,
So let the paint be spread!
Malina Hearts (FL)
We are painting the roses red,
We are painting the roses red!
Malina, happy with what she was doing, began to dance lightly on the kitchen table
The glasses moved under her carefree movement, threatening to drop any minute
Malina Hearts (FL)
*stopped dancing and took another wine glass from the cabinet
The pyramid made of wine glasses was huge...
it was equal in height as Malina herself
Malina Hearts (FL)
Painting the roses red,
We are painting the roses red...
Malina Hearts (FL)
*trying to put the glass on top
Malina Hearts (FL)
We dare not stop or waste a drop,
So let the pai-nt be spr...
Malina Hearts (FL)
*tiptoeing on the table and struggling to put the glass on top
Malina was so focused on making a perfect pyramid that she even stopped singing her favourite song
Malina Hearts (FL)
Just one...more
Malina Hearts (FL)
*trying to put the glass but tripped
Malina tripped onto the pyramid...
all of the glasses shattered under her weight...
While Malina fell on the glass shards...
She could see the blood coming out of her hands even in the dark
Malina Hearts (FL)
*trying to stop her tears
But the pain wasn't that important right now...
She hoped no one heard the glasses shatter ...
She hoped that she could hide this before her Mother came
shards pierced her skin and got inside the flesh, yet she was worried about the mess she had created
Malina Hearts (FL)
*stood up and stepped on the shards
Malina Hearts (FL)
*hissed
Malina Hearts (FL)
(that's okay, that's okay...)
Malina Hearts (FL)
(as long as Mother doesn't know about this, I am oka-)
Malina helplessly and hurriedly picked up the shards with her bare hands...
Hurting herself even more while she tried to clean up the mess
But then she heard the flamingo cane stomping on the floor and her Mother's high-pitched yelling
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIME?!
Malina Hearts (FL)
*stopped dead in her tracks
Malina Hearts (FL)
M-mother...
Malina Hearts (FL)
I was just...I was just playing
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
I TOLD YOU NOT TO PLAY SO MANY TIMES!
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
AND YOU STILL DON'T LISTEN?!
Malina Hearts (FL)
*flinched
Malina Hearts (FL)
Mother, I will clean it up...
The flamingo cane looked at her disapprovingly while her mother's face flared in anger
She could even see the veins on her neck
Malina Hearts (FL)
Mother, please... don't do anything...
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
*approaching her slowly
Her heels stomped on the floor, predicting disaster while Malina stayed frozen...
The flamingo in her hands suddenly turned into the real cane, the beak turning sharp and its eyes dead-cold
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
I WON'T STAND DISOBEDIENCE IN THIS KINGDOM!
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
*hit her in the back with the cane
Malina Hearts (FL)
*fell on the floor, tears streaming down her face
Malina Hearts (FL)
Mother, I am sorry! *crying while curling up on the floor
Malina Hearts (FL)
I won't do it again! I won't do it, I promise!
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
*hit her again
the Queen of Hearts hit her cruelly again and again...
There was no stopping of her cruelty
Malina bled and her back hurt from the beatings...
Yet she couldn't find any way to stop it
She wasn't so harsh before...
She wasn't so harsh...she wasn't so cruel...
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
IF ONLY I COULD KILL YOU!
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
*hit her again
Malina Hearts (FL)
*crying while curling on the floor
Malina Hearts (FL)
Mother, please...please stop
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
YOU DARE TALK BACK?!
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
UNGRATEFUL KID!
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
I WOULD HAVE LIVED SO MUCH BETTER IF YOU DIDN'T COME TO LIFE!
Malina Hearts (FL)
Mother... *covering her head with her injured arms
Raymund Hearts (FL's Dad)
*got Liora off her
Raymund Hearts (FL's Dad)
Dear, please stop
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
I WON'T STOP! SHE BROKE ALL OF THESE GLASSES!
Maybe Malina's bones broke, too
Raymund Hearts (FL's Dad)
It is okay, we can replace them...
Raymund Hearts (FL's Dad)
Now let's get you back to bed...
Raymund Hearts (FL's Dad)
You must be tired
Malina's father motioned Liora out of the Royal kitchen and took her to the bedroom...
Leaving Malina alone, wounded and helpless
Malina Hearts (FL)
*rubbing her eyes while crying again
Her bloodied hands stained her face with blood, too...
But she didn't care whether there was blood on her face or her body...
She WAS a free-spirited, optimistic and curious girl...
There was a strong emphasis in "was"
Friends?
Malina attended the Royal School, intended only for the noble persons and royalty
as the princess of the Hearts kingdom...
And the daughter of the cruel Queen, Liora Hearts...
She was an excellent student...
She HAD TO be the excellent student...
just as she finished school and she was about to go home...
She heard someone call out her name
Sol Spades (ML)
Malina! *rushing to her
Malina Hearts (FL)
*turned around, holding her bag with both of her hands
It was Sol, the prince and heir of the Spades kingdom
there were 4 kingdoms in Wonderland:
Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, Clubs
every kingdom lived in harmony with one another...
Except that the Hearts kingdom was enemies with every kingdom...
So, Malina was banned from making friends with people from other kingdoms
Sol Spades (ML)
Malina, let's play after dinner
Malina Hearts (FL)
... *tilted her head
Sol Spades (ML)
Yes *nodded happily
Malina Hearts (FL)
...I can't
Malina Hearts (FL)
I need to study
They had an exam yesterday on History, and Malina came second...
Sol was the first in the exam and Malina almost wished he died today
Sol Spades (ML)
Oh, come on! You can't study all day long!
To this, she didn't say anything
Why can't she study all day long?
That's what she does every day
Breakfast, school, homework, extra classes and then sleep
And even after such diligent studies, she still couldn't beat Sol in the exam...
And the fact that he even has time to play outside makes her blood boil
How could he be the first when all he does is playing games?
Sol Spades (ML)
your eyes are beautiful
Malina Hearts (FL)
*smiled without knowing
They were walking out of school while talking with each other
Unlike every normal day, she felt so much better and freer with him around...
Malina Hearts (FL)
Thank you
Sol ruffled his hair awkwardly and then brightened up with a smile
Sol Spades (ML)
We have huge elephants at home!
Sol Spades (ML)
You gotta see them!
Malina Hearts (FL)
I am sorr-
Sol Spades (ML)
our cook will bake waffles today!
Sol Spades (ML)
Her waffles are the best!
Sol Spades (ML)
You gotta try them!
Malina shook her head even though the offer seemed and sounded so tempting
She only heard the sound of waffles and knew that they tasted sweet...
It would be so lovely to have just one taste
Her hesitation made Sol think that she didn't believe his words...
Sol Spades (ML)
You don't believe me, right?
Sol Spades (ML)
I will show you!
He hurriedly got waffles out of his bag and shoved it to Malina
Malina Hearts (FL)
*hesitant
Sol Spades (ML)
Taste them! They are delicious!
Malina slowly took a bite of the waffles and then closed her eyes in satisfaction
These waffles were so...delicious!
She gobbled the waffles in one instant while Sol smiled proudly
Sol Spades (ML)
I told you they are good
Sol Spades (ML)
So? Will you come to play?
Sol Spades (ML)
I invited the other kids, too!
Malina stopped as she pondered over the tempting offer
But before she made a decision, her nanny cried out to her
Nanny
Princess! Please come fast!
Nanny
You have homework to do!
Malina jolted out of her thoughts and looked at Sol sadly
She wanted to play with other kids so badly...
Malina Hearts (FL)
I gotta go
Sol Spades (ML)
*upset a little
Sol Spades (ML)
That's okay...
Sol Spades (ML)
maybe next time
Sol handed her another waffles which made her face light up...
Nanny
(she shouldn't be friends with the enemy kingdom...)
Nanny
Princess! Come fast!
Malina Hearts (FL)
*got out of the daze* I gotta go. Bye!
Sol Spades (ML)
Bye, Malina!
Malina rushed to her nanny and got on the carriage
She looked at Sol one last time and waved goodbye
Sol Spades (ML)
*waved goodbye...smiling
Results
Malina went home, had dinner and went straight back to doing her homework
Malina Hearts (FL)
*writing a multiplication table
Malina tried to focus on her homework, but her mind wandered to those waffles...
she daydreamed about elephants...
And how she would ride on them while eating waffles
Her mouth watered at the thought even if she had just had dinner
She gave up trying to focus on her maths homework and continued with her imagination
Dreaming about elephants and desserts...and a new friend
Even if he was from an enemy kingdom, he was friendly and kind
Unlike her parents who couldn't care less about her
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
*opened the door
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
I heard you made friends with our enemy
Malina Hearts (FL)
*stood up and bowed
Malina Hearts (FL)
No, Mother, I didn't
Malina hoped that she would believe her...
Malina didn't care if Sol was kind or friendly...
She wouldn't be friends with him as long as her mother wouldn't scold her
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
You already learned to lie?
Malina Hearts (FL)
*flinched
Malina Hearts (FL)
No, Mother
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
*hit the cane on the floor
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
The exam results...
Malina took a deep breath...hoping against hope that Liora wouldn't use the cane on her
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
How much did you score on History?
Malina Hearts (FL)
I got a Queen
The scores were ranked on the cards: King, Queen, Jack, 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 and Ace.
King is the highest score and Ace is the lowest.
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
Why not a King?
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
You spend all day studying and still can't get a King?
Malina Hearts (FL)
I will try harder next time
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
*tsked
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
did you score the highest in the class?
Malina Hearts (FL)
... *closed her eyes
Malina kept bowing so that Liora couldn't see the fright in her eyes
Malina Hearts (FL)
y-yes, Mother...
Liora swung her cane and hit Malina's back
Malina Hearts (FL)
*gritting her teeth, used to the pain
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
YOU DARE LIE TO ME WITH THAT FACE OF YOURS?!
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
YOU THINK YOU CAN FOOL ME?!
Malina Hearts (FL)
No, Mother *mumbled
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
Your nanny told me all about your conversation with the heir of Spades Kingdom!
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
And that you scored lower than him!
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
how could you be such a disgrace to our family?!
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
No breakfast for tomorrow
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
Go on studying
Liora Hearts (FL's Mom)
And if you dare to lie to me again, I won't spare you
Malina Hearts (FL)
*nodded
Malina Hearts (FL)
Yes, Mother
Just as she left, Malina sat down and continued with her Maths
The pain on her back was excruciating...the scars on her back were more prominent than ever...
Yet she continued studying and didn't dare to come near Sol again
