Misunderstood Villainess Volume 1 Prologue

Prologue — The Morning of Reite-Hungaria (Sixteen Years Old) Comes Early

“I, awaken──!”

Yes, my morning, the morning of Reite-Hungaria, comes early.

Before the stone-chicken basilisks at the quarry even begin to crow, I rise and begin my morning preparations all by myself.

I sit before my dressing table and run a comb through my proud, silky silver hair.

I do not allow the maids to assist me.

Why, you ask? Because just the other day, they got into a fistfight over the “right to assist with my morning preparations.”

As punishment, I banned them all from touching my morning routine. So for now, I’m doing everything myself. (…Somehow, I feel like I’m the one who ended up suffering the most here, though…)

Well, whatever. Commoners are such pitiful creatures. They were probably desperate to curry favor with me, their wealthy and beautiful lady, so I’d raise their wages. Fufun! How utterly transparent.

“Now then, today’s me is perfect as always…”

I gaze dreamily at my reflection in the mirror.

A masterpiece. A treasure of this world. Should a sixteen-year-old girl this beautiful even be allowed to exist? No. Absolutely not. Surely, it must be a crime.

“…Most likely, the Goddess of Beauty herself grew jealous of me. That’s why my height has barely increased since I was around twelve years old.”

Hmm… that’s my only real concern. Ugh, so depressing.

But! I’ve been chugging milk every single day, so by next month, I’ll surely have a gorgeous, curvy body!

I must believe in myself! …Though now that I think about it, I feel like I told myself the exact same thing last month.

Anyway! Moving on!

“Today as well, I’ll pick something black, gothic, and as villainous-looking as possible…”

Once I’ve changed into my usual outfit, I throw the window open wide and make a proud, booming declaration.

“People of the territoryyy!”
“Today too, the great and wicked Lady Reite shall graciously work you to the boneee!”
“O-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-hoooo!!!”
“O-ho— geh-hoh!?”

Ack—cough, cough!
I—I choked!
