Chapter 4

She bowed and I apologized for what I said. shit- maybe go crazy like before. "You broke him." I just stared at Rios, he really doesn't matter what? "I know." I stopped and came closer to her, is she crying? Why I'm so talk active! "P-princess? Hello, I'm sorry! I'm not saying- "I know he doesn't want me." I was stunned when she raised her head and her eyes were teary. It was so pitiful to look at as if she knew she wasn't really loved. "Why are you clinging?" none of my own question I patter her back and she really started crying. F*ck this mouth! "Nobody really likes me, I'm fat and I look horrible because of my fatness. I also don't know why he flirted with me. " she explained. "I do love him because I thought he would accept what I am, but when I saw him looking at my cousin. I'm having a second thought, I did my best right? I did my best to be the best girlfriend he had. " "Everyone is jealous because I am the girlfriend of the prince's crown even though I am fat. I was proud to be his girl and he did the same so I believed. But maybe he doesn't really care, right? " So she knows and is aware of what Prince Gareth is doing, it's a good thing she's not dense or na?ve about what's going on in their relationship. I took her hand and comforted her. my god even if I'm not with my friends, I don't make them comfortable because I don't know. But here I am comforting my so called best friend even though I am not her true best friend. But I felt so sorry for her, who would have thought a villainess… Can it be pity? "So why are you holding on?" "Because maybe one day, he will also fall for me. Before the shopping happened, when he said he had a gift for me… I had too many expectations for his gift. " she replied. "I had high expectations that maybe he will marry me but it fell when we went shopping and saw Erina. I hope we don't go out that day- "Princess Mel, everything that happens has a reason. If you didn't go out that day, you wouldn't realize that that's how he treated you."When I cut off what i said. "You've been believing a lie all this time, so you better realize it sooner." I will add. Thank god she's not stupid so as not to notice that, "T-you're right what will I do when I realize this? Should I… break up with him? " I thought to myself, no story can't be created if she does the break-up early. "Don't, wait for the right moment Princess. Everything will be fine. " She sighed and nodded once again hug me, I'm also glad that she listens to me properly. "But you still love him don't you? Do you really let him? " I don't know why I asked that. "Of course I love him, he is my first love. but nothing lasts forever especially since we don't really have mutual feelings. " I smiled at what Princess Mel said, not only that she's smart she's also understandable. I don't know why the male lead doesn't want her. She's literally the best girlfriend you could own, did Gareth break up because Erina was fat? Hays looks like that's really important now no? But I wonder why Mel suddenly lost herself when she was in the novel? Obviously she was smart, why did she go crazy and become a villain? Well this time I have to protect Mel from bad winds, she's not corruptthere so I will protect her at all costs to prevent her from dying like in the novel. "Poor kid." Rios whispered, has it been here before? I didn't notice, we were acting. "She has no one because even her parents don't want her." I also read that in the novel, as long as Mel's parents just don't want her. especially when they broke up with Prince Gareth they became even more distant from Mel. Obviously she is none other than me, Herabella. "What happened?" Fortunately, Mel fell asleep because of the tears, and who is Melusine after her? He is like a car brand in my world. Didn't the author sometimes think what? Mel doesn't have much information in the novel other than Erina's rivalry. As far as I know, Erina and I have the same family issues and all. But Erina is lucky because she has Gareth and two others there who are always by her side. She was the woman who led then. Mel's bad luck… because she has no one. "I don't know, as far as I know there was an incident that happened to the Ondine family that Leads to some conflicts when Melusine was young." I just stared at her, doesn't she have anything more specific to say? What kind of incident is that? "You're really useless, atleast help me with circumstances I don't know about." I replied rudely to him. "Provide information, it is not certain and it is still lacking. What kind of God are you? " He just slapped my head. This dude, I'm already helping him, he still has the audacity to do that to me. "Stop this useless God! You're really useless! Even a little information- " "Tsk because I don't have the right to provide such information, I can only give you clues because it's really forbidden." He answered with a sigh. We left because Mel was already asleep, we just let her rest because she really cried earlier. Because I was bored, I decided to go for a walk. Fortunately, it's already afternoon, there are only a few people walking around town. My disciples and the people avoid me, as expected. Even though Herabella is just a side character, she still has a strong impact on people. "Hey Venturi madam!" I was distracted because my last name was the one called, I'm used to maybe- "What the fu- what are you doing?!" A guy with white hair appeared in front of me like he was really very close to me, who is this? Why does it have white hair? He doesn't look old. "Hmm? That is weird, I thought you would get angry because of what I did the other day. "He smirked, rude! He didn't even answer my question. But he looks familiar ... "Who are you- Wait a damn minute, someone with white hair and green eyes? Andnl with staff with cloak- OH SHIT ISNT HE THE WIZARD GUY IN THE NOVEL?! "M-Magnus." Magnus Dean Lennon, the human wizard, the third knight and shining weapon of Princess Erina. And my favorite and perfect man in the novel who died a sad death saving the lead woman. Also one of the reasons why I don't like the female lead is that she is very na?ve, apart from the fact that she has to be a damsel in distress. There is a character who has sacrificed her na?ve. I lost my appetite when I read that Magnus died because he saved Erina the female lead. Since Magnus can't stay with Erina, Erina just cried and boom. It's over, it's just like not dying. I'm backing away, wait, didn't Mel say that a wizard hit me? She mentioned the appearance and this dude right here matches the details. He's the one who hit me? I mean I wouldn't mind getting hit again- NOT JUST A JOKE! Even though he's my favorite in the novel, he's still my enemy right now. It's Rios' fault, if only he hadn't reincarnated me in Hera's body. I would've been stalking my crush a long time ago. In the case of Herabella, she really put my soul, God! they will always see me as an enemy. I mean he kicked me, duh? He shouldn't have attacked me for no reason, not to mention that was our first meeting. You know that first impression matters… "Why are you staring at that Herabella?" I almost jumped in panic when Rios appeared next to me. "Oh- "Shut up first, I don't want to die yet." Annoyed, I told Rios that I would be ruined because of the shock he caused. I really haunt him. "Who are you talking to?" he grabbed my arm and it was as if he was frozen up in his position… then he pressed his gaze on me. Hell! I really felt the chills in his voice, so I bet he is too. But sadly I'm on the enemy's side so I can't flirt with him. "You… you're not h -" I don't know why I pushed him and ran faster than flash out of fear. F*ck! I forgot that magnus is a wizard! "Did he just know that you are not Herabella? How did he know? " "I do not know?! You can do magic! " I shouted loudly while still running. Shit shit, how did he know. I know Magnus is good but I don't think he is good at magic out of this world. "As long as it's not my fault, Rios, it's your fault, we're breaking up because of your magic!" God! what am I going to do? How am I gonna change the flow now?! "Call me God Rios you disrespectful child." I just raised my midle finger. Shit… I don't know why I came home as long as I came home. "Lady welcome back, Lord Harris and your parents are back." I was almost overwhelmed when I opened up. What?! who are they? Lord Harris who? I don't know anyone- wait maybe it's related to Herabella? at parents?! Never in my life have I heard that Herabella has parents! I mean I know he lives because of his parents but I never thought I would meet them. Duh that's not so in the novel. "Hey Rios what am I going to do- "Little sister!!!" I was surprised when suddenly someone hugged me tightly. Little sister?! Herabella has a sister?! Well what do I ineexpect in a side character? An elderly woman came out. "OH Herabella sweety! Welcome back, how are you? How is Princess Melusine? " "I heard that someone hit you. Are you okay? " Maybe Herabella's parents? "They should get arrested." Herabella was also very spoiled, not to mention the kindness of her parents. I wonder why she became bad, maybe because of Melusine? But Mel's not that bad at all. Did something happen? "Little sister you should rest, your wound may still hurt. We should inve- "A-AH no! I'm fine, thank you very much! " politely I say, in my world. My parents are already dead. I was just an orphan who climbed out of poverty because of my diligence, never in my life was I treated like this. "Hera dearie, don't push yourself too much okay?" "Listen to your mother Hera, we're doing good even though we're going bankrupt." What? Bankrupt? I thought Herabella's family is doing well? "Yeah, so don't ask for the Princess's help okay? She always helps us. Don't worry, we'll fix it. " Hera's mother said with a smile. "Oh hey, we'll call you when it's dinner time." I didn't say anything and just followed, I didn't know what was going on… But somehow I understand what's going on in Herabella's life. I went inside my room and just sat there sinking all information at once. I heard a knock and saw my older brother Harris. He looks worried… "L-little sister, I have something to say." He looks nervous too… I'm sure it's about our business too. "I know we are asking too much for favors. But " "Can you please take the business class than the royalty class?" huh? "I know your dream is to be royalty but we're really struggling right now." "I know it's too much to ask because that's your dream. Please do your brother a favor, I feel sorry for mother and father too. They are having a hard time even if they don't tell you. " By the way, Mel and Hera took the royalty class just to be with Prince Gareth. It's dreams versus the needs of Hera's family. And I'm sure that class took a lot because only princesses and princes can enter but a lady and lord can get in if they have money. Since I'm not Herabella, I don't dream of being a royalty. And even I feel sorry for the condition of her mother and father. "Sure brother, I will help mother and father in our business. Don't worry I'm totally fine with it, they've been doing so much for us. " my answer. Even though they are not my real family, I feel sorry for them and pitied them. Harris smiled and hugged me like he didn't expect me to agree. "Thank you so much." with business class, our business will improve even more. he said goodbye and left. I sighed and looked at Rios. "Why didn't you also tell me that Herabella was suffering?" he just shrugged. "Because they are just side characters, no one wants to know what they've been through. NO one is interested in a side character's story." To be continued...
