CHAPTER ONE: SCARLETT RINA O'HARA

CHAPTER ONE

“ I've always wondered... ”

“ Why can't a villain have a Happy Ending?... ”

“ Most of them are only Broken Heroes... ”

“ Something not everyone can see... ”

“ ... ”

?: U-ugh...

A kid with scarlet hair and green eyes slowly opened her eyes as she slowly sits up on her bed.

?: ( Where the hell am I?... )

She looked around and sees an unfamiliar room.

While looking around she noticed her hair and touched it.

?: ( Scarlet hair?... )

As she wondered why her hair was scarlet red, the door slowly opened as a maid slowly entered.

?: ( Don't tell me that i—... )

Maid: L-lady scarlett... I've come to bring your breakfast...

The maid lowered her head as she walks in, closer to scarlett.

Scarlett: ha?...

The maid flinches and kneeled on the ground.

Maid: I-im deeply sorry, my lady!... Please spare me!..

Scarlett starred at the maid in silence.

Scarlett: ...

AFEW HOURS PASSED BY.

AT THE DUKE'S OFFICE.

A man with scarlet red hair and crimson red eyes, signing some documents in his table.

Argos: What do you mean “the lady's acting different”?

[ Argos Argente O'Hara | 40 years old ]

The man with blonde hair and blue eyes lowered his head.

Philip: I heard from the maids that the young Lady has been acting weird for the past hours...

Philip: The lady hasn't scold her maids and stayed at her room...

Argos continued to sign the documents.

Argos: ...is that so?

Philip: y-yes.. your grace...

Argos: let her be... I'm sure she's just doing fin—

Before argos could even finish his sentence someone knocked at the door.

Argos: who is it?... Philip, could you open the door.

Philip bowed and went to open the door.

Philip: *opens the door* m-my lady? what are you doing here?

Scarlett looked up.

Scarlett: I need to speak with his grace..

Philip: i-is that so?... ( the lady does speak differently ) come inside, my lady. I'll go get some tea for you and his grace.

Scarlett nodded and went inside.

Argos pauses and looks up at scarlett

Argos: what brings you here, scarlett?

Scarlett: ...

Scarlett just starred at her father.

Argos: ...

Scarlett: ...

Philip: ( what is this intense atmosphere... )

Argos sighed.

Argos: Have a seat.

Scarlett: thank you.

Scarlett takes a seat and philip served her some tea.

Scarlett: I'm here to ask permission.

Argos: Permission to what?

Philip: ( so intense... )

Scarlett: to throw me out of the family as early as possible.

Philip: E-eh?!

Argos: throw you out of the family?

Scarlett: yes.

Argos: why?

Scarlett: ...

Argos: answer—

Scarlett: I'm nothing but a disgrace in the duke's family. It would be embarrassing if the duke's name gets dirty because of my immaturity.

Philip: L-lady that's...

[ Scarlett Rina O'Hara | 13 years old ]

Argos: ...

Scarlett: ...

Argos: *sighs* No, go to your room.

Scarlett: Very well.

Scarlett stood up and bows as she goes out of the room.

Philip closed the door.

Philip: Duke, are you alri—

Argos: I don't want to talk about, philip.

Philip: ofcourse...

WITH SCARLETT AT HER ROOM.

Scarlett sitting beside her window looking outside

Scarlett: ( I was hoping he'd agree.. that was a waste of time. )

“ Scarlett Rina O'Hara.. First Daughter of the Duke Argos, who's known to be the hero of the war. ”

“ And here I am, reincarnated into his daughter.. who is supposed to be the second villain in this Novel ”

“ Loving you Unconditionally. Is the title of this Novel ”

“ A story of a woman name Alicia.. the female lead, she was bound to meet the villain at the age of 18 while running away from the monsters. ”

“ Luciano, the main villain.. saved the female lead from the monsters and they became good friends... Not until at the coronation of the crown prince Khalil.. ”

“ Khalil, the male lead fell in love with Alicia at his coronation day.. and that's where Luciano and Khalil fought each other to death just for Alicia's hand and love... ”

Scarlett: How ironic... ( How scarlett is destined to die in Luciano's hand after helping him all the way. )

Scarlett: ( I'm bored.. I miss my work from my past life.. Business woman in the morning.. and a Killer at night.. Assassin or so... )

Maid: ...

Scarlett: ... *tilts her head* what's your name?

The maid flinches and lowered her head.

Maria: M-maria.. your highness...

Scarlett: I see.

Maria: i-is there something you need, my lady?...

Scarlett: can you take me to the training ground?...

Maria: ah.. forgive me, but I cannot take you there, my lady..

Scarlett: Because of?...

Maria: Ladies aren't allowed at the training grounds, it's too dangerous.. knowing there knights training, my lady...

Scarlett: I see. ( That's right.. the O'Hara Residence is one of the reasons why they won the war 5 years ago. Due to hardcore training.. it makes the O'Hara Residence have one of the mighties knights in the kingdom... )

Maria: are you alright, my lady?...

Scarlett: ( it's exciting, I miss killing. )

Maria: ( the lady is more scarier than before.. )

Scarlett: speaking of knights..

Maria: y-yes?

Scarlett: *looks at maria* isn't my first brother a knight?

Maria: you mean.. the young master Noah?...

Scarlett: yes, I heard he's the first captain of Section A1 Achlys.

[ Nicolas Cage O'Hara | 21 years old ]

Maria: y-yes.. the young master is currently at the palace reporting for the current situation at the capital..

Scarlett: *stares at maria* ... I see

Maria: ... ( I didn't know the lady knows about the young master being a knight at the palace.. the young master rarely goes home after all.. )

THE NEXT DAY.

With Maria Walking to Scarlett's room.

Maria: ...

Maria stopped infront of the door and knocks.

Maria: Young lady? I've brought your breakfast...

Maria slowly opened the door and goes inside.

Maria: lady scarlett?...!

Maria saw a dead body laying on the ground and ended up dropping the tray of food and runs out of the room.

Maria: The young lady is missing!!

WITH ARGOS AND PHILIP WALKING AT THE HALLWAY.

Argos: What's with all the noise—

Maria: y-your grace!

Maria kneeled and lowered her head.

Maria: t-there was a dead body i-inside of the young lady's room... She's also g-gone...

Argos flinches as his eyes widened.

Argos: philip..

Philip: right away, your grace.

Argos: Find the young lady, this instance! Gather all the knights and search the whole kingdom!

Maria: ( y-young lady... i hope you're all right.. )

MEANWHILE ON THE TRAINING GROUNDS.

Scarlett with the other knights are having a duel.

Scarlett: *slashed her sword* faster.

Knight: u-urk!—

Knight: Woah! The young lady seems to know alot about swords!

Knight: where do you think she got that talent? Hah!

Knight: another prodigy child of his grace HAHAHAHA!

Scarlett: Hmm.. ( should I try to use.. Aura? Just like what the other swordsmasters do? ) Who wanna go next? I need to spar.

Knight: young lady, how did you learn about swords?

Scarlett: Just experience *swings hers wooden sword with her left hand*

Knight: the young lady seemed to be a genius when it comes to swo—

Philip: All knights start gathering!

Knights: what happened secretary philip?

Philip saw scarlett within the crowd.

Philip: y-young lady! What are you doing here!? We've been looking all over the residence for you!

Scarlett: ( oh- I'm dead. )

AT THE DUKE'S OFFICE.

Argos: Care to explain?

Scarlett: Explain what, your highness?

Argos: the dead body and why you are at the training grounds?

Scarlett: I killed the person in my room and it's a training grounds for a reason.

Philip & Argos: !?

Argos: you killed those assassins?...

Scarlett: I wouldn't be here if I didn't, right? Id be dead right now, if I didn't.

Philip: y-young lady.. do fix your tone when you speak to your father...

Argos: ( is this even still my child?... She talks as if she's already an adult... She should be trembling in fear right now.. for a 13 years old.. )

Scarlett: if there's nothing more to add, I'd like to be sent in my room.

Argos: How did you kill those Assassins?...

Argos looked at Scarlett's eyes and glared.

Scarlett looked back and gave back a cold look.

Scarlett: I wasn't your daughter for stupid reasons. It's only normal to Inherit your skills with swords, knowing your blood runs through all over my body.

Philip: ( the Young lady is scary.. huhu )

Argos: ... philip

Philip: * lowered his head* yes, your highness?

Argos: investigate who tried to harm the young lady of O'Hara.

Philip: Right away, your grace.

Scarlett: ( it looks like the queen made a move already, is this because I am the most qualified candidate for the crown princess position?... )

Argos: ... Are you alright?

Scarlett: yes.

Argos: You sure? You didn't get hurt or anything?

Scarlett: ( what's with him? All of the sudden him caring for scarlett? ) Yes, I'm alright and not hurt.

Argos: Hmm alright..

Scarlett: ah, yes. Your grace?

Argos: what is it?

Scarlett: how much money do I have left?

Argos: why ask?

Scarlett: I plan on going out to the capital tomorrow.

Argos: Well.. *takes afew documents and looks at it*

Argos: so far.. you have 660 million golds

Scarlett: *almost choked* !— i-i see. ( That's quite a money.. ) is this money enough to buy a mine in the mountains?

Philip: a mine?

Scarlett: yes, I plan on starting a small business soon, once I've left the resident.

Argos: why do you want to leave so bad?

Scarlett & Philip & Argos: ...

Scarlett sighed and crossed her arms.

Scarlett: I believe I've already said it when I first came here. my immaturity will only out stain to your name.

Argos: ...

Philip: ( ah.. his grace is disappointed... )

MOMENTS LATER AT SCARLETT'S ROOM.

Scarlett: ( I'm bored, there's no fun in this room. )

Scarlett stood up and looks infront of the mirror.

Scarlett: green eyes... ( I wonder.. where's Scarlett's mother.. there wasn't any information about her mother but her name... ) Stella Rosa O'Hara..

“ A woman with green eyes and silver hair.. ”

“ Too bad I got argos's hair instead of hers. ”

Scarlett: Hmm.. ( I heard khalil's hair was silver but after seeing the painting, it was pink not silver)

Scarlett yawned and went to bed.

Scarlett: ( I want to some kill People.. I'm bored. )

Scarlett slowly closed her eyes as she falls to sleep.

While scarlett is sleeping, at her balcony there a guy wearing a hoodie watching her.

THE NEXT DAY.

Scarlett: Let's go, maria.

Maria: c-coming!

As scarlett and maria walk through the hall.

They walked passed by the maids gossiping.

Maid; look at the young lady, she truly have changed.

Maid: I didn't know the lady can be so gadiant!

Maid: let's serve the lady with nicely and not be scared.

Scarlett: ( wonder what scarlett did, so they'd be this scared to her. )

Scarlett and Maria reached the front door, and there they saw argos and philip.

Maria: Goodmorning, your grace.. *bows*

Argos looked at Scarlett.

Scarlett: I greet the sword of the kingdom, duke argos. *Bows*

Argos: be sure to be back right after you've finished shopping.

Scarlett: of course.

Maria and Scarlett bowed for the last time and went inside the carriage.

Philip: will they be alright?

Argos: they should be, after all, you said it yourself. The way all of the assassins was killed is done by a professional.

Philip: you don't mean...

Argos: I want to see if she's telling the truth about killing those assassins.

Philip: but you did have to send Assassins after her, your grace, the young lady might get hurt!

Argos: she won't.

Philip: hmm..

WITH SCARLETT AT THE CAPITAL.

Maria escorted scarlett down of the carriage.

Scarlett: Thank you.

Maria smiled and giggled a little.

Maria: you're always welcome, my lady.

Maria: where should we be headed, my lady?

Scarlett: sword shop.

Scarlett looked around and started walking.

Maria: E-eh? But there are alot of swords in the duke's place, my lady?

Scarlett: All crap.

Maria: s-such words my lady... *Laughs awkwardly*

Scarlett: it's true tho.

Scarlett enters one of the stores.

Seller: My, my well hello there my dear costumers!

Maria: H-hello, sir...

Scarlett: I'm here for a sword.

Seller: A sword you say? Please look around *smiles*

Scarlett: Thank you.

Scarlett and Maria looked around the shop for a worthy sword for scarlett.

Scarlett: ( Swords.. )

Seller: the lady, seems to be interested with swords? Is it a gift for your brother?

Scarlett: Hmm.. No, it's for myself.

Scarlett saw a Crimson bow and touched it.

Seller: I see *smiles*

Scarlett: ( there's nothing to be— ) !?

Scarlett's chest started to pound lounder.

Scarlett: ( what's this.. )

Scarlett looked around and sees a box with red aura coming out of it.

Scarlett walked closer to it as she opens the box. Revealing a Black and Red sword inside it.

Seller: Ah, that sword, that's a fine sword indeed my lady, not everyone gets to touched that due to some magic.

Scarlett: what do you mean?

Seller: I think the old owner of this sword implanted some type of spell to keep it away from those who are not worthy to hold it.

Scarlett: is that right..

Maria: be careful my lady...

Scarlett slowly grabbed the sword and raised it.

Scarlett: Nothing happened— !!

The sword started to glow as images flashed in Scarlett's head.

Maria: M-my lady!!

Seller: oh my... It showed a different effect.

Scarlett's eyes slowly turned into crimrson red.

The seller and Maria flinches.

Scarlett: ( such power... )

Maria: lady?... Are you alright?...

Maria walked towards scarlett.

Seller: fascinating...

Scarlett: yeah.. I'm alright, Nothing to worry about.

Scarlett took a deep breath as her eyes turns back to green.

Scarlett: I'll take this sword and this bow.

Seller: right away, miss.

Scarlett payed and both of them went out of the store, leaving the seller inside.

Seller: ... ( I would have never thought.. that someone will be able to buy something so precious in a glimpse of an eye... ) The lady seem to be worthy...

WITH SCARLETT AND MARIA, OUTSIDE OF THE STORE.

Maria: where are we headed now, young lady?..

Scarlett: ... ( Those images... I cant be wrong.. )

Maria: Lady? Are you sure you're alright?...

Scarlett: ah-... Yeah, I am.

Scarlett: let's go to a clothing—

Before scarlett could even finish her sentence a guy came and walked towards them.

Guy: What's the little spoiled brat doing here?

Scarlett turned around and looking at the guy.

Maria: please don't talk my lady that way..

Scarlett: let's go maria, let's not waste our time.

Maria and Scarlett was just about to walk off when the guy pulled Scarlett's hair.

Guy: where do you think you are going?

Maria: Let go of the young lady now!

Guy: and what are you gonna do about it?

Scarlett: Could you let go of my hair?

More guys started to come as scarlett looks at them.

Scarlett: ( bunch of bastards.. )

Scarlett looked at maria, as maria fell down on her butt trembling in fear.

Scarlett: Maria..

Maria: Y-yes my lady?...

Scarlett: Close your eyes.

Guy: what are you planning to do hah?

Maria: but—

Scarlett: Just do it.

Maria gulped and closed her eyes.

Scarlett: don't open them.

Scarlett took out a small dagger and started to cut the guy's neck.

Guy: a-ack!—

One by one the guys fell down with their Neck bleeding.

Scarlett: ( haaa... Boring... )

Scarlett looked around to see no one.

Scarlett: ( there were just People here earlier.. what happened? ) ...

Scarlett: ( could this be.. )

Scarlett quickly turned around and threw her dagger hitting a guy at the top of the roof.

The magic slowly faded revealing all the people looking at the guy on the roof.

Scarlett: ( illusionary magic huh?.. )

Scarlett looked up at the guy.

Scarlett: you're quite sneaky aren't you?

The unknown guy flinches and quickly disappeared.

All the people started to gossip around them.

Scarlett: Hmm..

WHEN SCARLETT AND MARIA GOT BACK HOME.

Scarlett immediately went to the duke's office.

Scarlett slammed the door open.

Argos & Philip looked at the door with their eyes widened to see scarlett.

Scarlett: it was you, wasn't it?

Argos: ...

Philip: w-what do you mean, young lady?...

Scarlett: well I guess I won't get any answer here. Thank you for your time—

Argos: yes, it was me. Are you pleased now?

Scarlett: ...

Scarlett: stay out of my life just like what you did 5 years ago.

Philip and Argos's eyes widened as they hear what scarlett said.

Scarlett: I don't see any reason why you had to interfere with my life, when you were gone for 5 years.

Philip: lady scarlett that's... The Duke had to go to war that time.. please do understand, it was never an easy decision..

Scarlett: war huh?... Even after he came back from the war, he did nothing but neglected me.

Scarlett looked at Argos coldly.

Scarlett: ( is this how scarlett felt?... ) You have no idea, how they've treated me so terrible for the years that you were absent. You know nothing about me.

Argos: treated you terrible?... What do you mean?...

Scarlett: Find out yourself. Thank you for your time.

Scarlett bowed and went back to her room.

Argos & Philip: ...

Argos: Philip.

Philip: yes, your grace?

Argos: Find out what happened 5 years ago. I need it now!

Philip: yes! Your grace, I'm on it!

Argos: ( just what the hell did they do to my daughter?... )

WITH SCARLETT AT HER ROOM.

Scarlett: ( I won't.. let Luciano and I have death as our faith. We villains deserves an happy ending. )

“ Don't worry Luciano. I'll stay by your side until the end. We'll definitely have an happy ending. ”

“ I won't let you die a second time. ”

Scarlett's eyes turned crimson red and quickly turned back to green.

AT NIGHT WITH ARGOS AND PHILIP.

Philip: Based on what the old maids have said.. the young lady was being mistreated by the head maid—

Argos suddenly crashed the glass on his hand.

Argos: continue.

Philip: they also said that.. the young ladies's old personal maid would whip her up if the young lady—

Argos: Bring all or them here tomorrow.

Argos stood up.

Argos: that would be all.

Philip: y-yes, hour grace... *Bows*

Argos walked out of his office and walked at the hall.

Philip: ( I've never seen the Duke this agry before.. )

AT THE PALACE.

Luke: Heard what?

Knight: Your younger sister, scarlett was making a commotion at the capital earlier.

Luke: what do you mean?
