Sign Up For Villainess EPISODE 2

*Elena groggily wakes up, her head pounding. The mattress beneath her is too soft, the blanket too heavy, and the faint scent of roses too overwhelming. Opening her eyes, she’s greeted by an impossibly elegant room—velvet curtains, gilded furniture, and a massive chandelier*

Elena Hayes

Did I sleepwalk into a museum? Who lives like this? *grumbling*

*She sits up and feels something silky fall over her shoulders. Confused, she glances down to see shimmering silver hair cascading down her chest*

Elena Hayes

What the—?! WHY IS MY HAIR IS GRAY ❗

*Scrambling out of bed, she rushes to a massive gilded mirror and gasps. Her reflection stares back at her, long silver hair, glowing skin, and a face straight out of a period drama*

Elena Hayes

NO..NO, I'VE AGED FIFTY YEARS OVERNIGHT .... I'M I'M ON MY OWN GRANDMOTHER ❗❗

Elena Hayes

*The door slams open, and a young maid storms in, carrying a tray of tea and pastries. Her stern face is full of exasperation*

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

What are you screeching about now, my lady? Some of us have work to do, you know! 🙄

Elena Hayes

Work? Do you see this?

Elena Hayes

I’ve turned OLD!

Elena Hayes

Look at my hair! What kind of stress does this do to a person overnight?!

Elena Hayes

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

*setting the tray down with a thud*

Elena Hayes

*startled*

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

Old? My lady, you’ve always had silver hair. Stop being dramatic, or you’ll give me wrinkles before my time....😒

Elena Hayes

*blinking*

Elena Hayes

Always? No! I had brown hair And a normal apartment! And Wi-Fi! Who are you ❓

Elena Hayes

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

Don’t play games with me, Lady Selene. I’ve been cleaning up after your tantrums and I’ll be damned if you start pretending you don’t know me...

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

It’s Helga, your personal maid, the poor soul who has to deal with your nonsense daily...

Elena Hayes

*jaw drops*

*The name “Selene” rings in her ears, and she slowly connects the dots*

Elena Hayes

*face pales as realization sets in*

Elena Hayes

Selene? *whispers*

Elena Hayes

As in Selene Valmont? No... this can’t be happening...

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

I CAN'T BE HER ❗❗❗

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

Oh, here we go. Another one of your theatrics. What is it this time?

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

Did you spend too much on dresses again? Or is it about the crown prince again....🙄

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

Honestly, my lady, if you focused on something other than chasing after that prince, maybe you wouldn’t be in this state...😒

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

I’m in the novel... the trashy romance novel I was mocking last night. And I’m Selene, the villainess. The worst character. Oh, this is a nightmare... *muttering to herself*

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

My lady! Stop mumbling to yourself and drink your tea before it gets cold....

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

I don’t have time to babysit you all morning..🥱

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

*ignores her*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Why couldn’t I be Cassandra?

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

She’s got the prince, the perfect life, and the plot armor!

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Or an extra—extras get to live peacefully in the background!

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

But no, I get Selene, the girl who ruins her own life trying to impress some two-timing prince....

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

Maybe if you spent less time hosting ridiculous parties and more time learning how to manage money, you wouldn’t end up bankrupt....

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

Honestly, the things I have to put up with ....

*Elena grabs a pillow and screams into it before flopping dramatically onto the bed. Helga shakes her head like a disappointed parent*

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

If you’re done throwing your little fit, I suggest you get up and face the day...

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

Unless you’d rather sulk in bed while the rest of us work ourselves to the bone....

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Helga, do you have any idea what kind of mess I’m in? ಥ⁠╭⁠╮⁠ಥ

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

You mean other than the usual mess you make of your life? No, but I’m sure you’ll tell me... ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

*groans, rubbing her temples*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Fine! Just... bring me coffee. Strong. And maybe a guide on how to survive as the most hated person in this stupid novel....

Helga Klaes [Personal maid of FL]

Strong coffee, she says. I’ll need it more than you at this rate. Honestly, I should have retired years ago... *grumbling as she leaves*

*As Helga stomps out, Elena stares at her reflection in the mirror, the silver-haired villainess glaring back at her*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

If this is karma for mocking that book, the universe has a sick sense of humor....

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]
