My Next Life As A Wicked Dame (ENGLISH) Prologue
Prologue. "Lady Marina?" a soft voice echoed from a distant room. Hmmm... A soft feminine voice echoed in my ears, it was truly lovely and soft like clouds. The voice was like a lullaby because instead of waking me up, it makes my eyelids heavier than ever. What is it? The sun hasn't risen yet, right? And besides, it's the weekend, isn't it? I don't have classes today! for Pete's sake! So please, let me sleep a little longer. I didn't realize that it was already dawn when I finished the novel I read last night. All I need is one thing; it is called peace. Instead of opening my heavy eyelids, I just ignore the voice and buried my face into the soft pillows as it was because it was too early. "Lady Marina!?" someone from the other side of the room called out again. What the heck!? It's too early and someone is bothering me again. Don't they know the saying, "Wake up the drunk, but not the one who's sleeping, or else you would taste eternal rest?" Cringed. I know that, but hey! W

Chapter One.Nina's POVOkay. I'm in the body of Lady Marina Edwards, the possible antagonist of the novel, Illuminating Darkness. No need to panic, okay? Nina Facelo don't panic! Take a deep breath, and relax. You're better than this!So, let's get our facts straight. We haven't read the book yet, but we already have a small idea of what the scenarios and story flow are. Courtesy to our dearest spoiler friends, Mary and Janna.I actually felt genuinely happy with the spoilers I heard. I've never thought that I– who hates spoilers, would actually thank them for spoiling.I hate spoilers and I hate spoiling. The suspense and thrill of the story would vanish just like a bubble. I don't want to ruin their reading experience. But who would ever think that I would thank them to death?Spoilers are also useful, somehow.Now, I should start planning my moves and goals. I need to summarize all the information I learned from Mary and Janna. It would greatly help me avoid unwanted attention a

Chapter Two. Nina's POV. Time is short when you are happy, time is long when you are sad, and time is too slow for those who wait. But in my case, time is swift when you're in the zone. Two weeks had passed since I woke up as Lady Marina. Now, I am in the library, trying to research all information about this world, the world that I would probably live in for a while. According to Rita, my maidservant (which I'm correct). This is Lady Marina's private library; the whole Red Rose Manor has four libraries. One for me, one for my mother, one for my father, and lastly, the Edwards' Central Library. With that two weeks' time. I've learned many things. Lady Marina is an only daughter and she's seventeen. I am currently living at the Red Rose Manor, which is the Edwards family estate in the nobles' district in the royal capital. The Edwards' real territory is in the eastern region of the Avalor Kingdom, and Lady Marina is currently studying at Avalon Academy of Magic. Avalon Academy

"F-Fiancé! I have a freaking fiancé!?" I screamed in disbelief. It was a ridiculous claim! And not a good joke! I think my brain jumped out of its spot.Rita seemed surprised by my sudden outburst because her smile was suddenly replaced by fear.She started trembling in front of me.I suddenly felt sorry for her. I think she might be expecting a punishment because I look angry. Knowing Lady Marina's attitude, it's not impossible to come up with that conclusion.Nina clam down! Don't let the news whack you down. Remember the manners and etiquette you've hard learned, it would be paid all for nothing. Now, man up and relax. If they discovered something wrong, it would be my doom. If they mistake me as being possessed by the devil, they might hire a powerful exorcist to investigate. I might be found out!I took a deep breath to calm my mind, and nerves down. I look at Rita-who's still shaking, and gently smiled at her, as if I didn't shout a few seconds ago."Excuse me, I have a fiancé,
My Next Life As A Wicked Dame (ENGLISH) Chapter Four
Nina's POV Silence That's what filled the room after I said that. I can't help but feel nervous because a single mistake might lead to my doom. But I need to take the risk, and it's pretty obvious that this is an arranged marriage. If this continues, I would probably be the one who would look evil, preventing the heroine and the hero from getting close. "Hmm..." Lord Ethan leans against the chair, seated comfortably, and crossed his legs with arms resting at the side With his form, it is obvious that he came from the high society. The way he sits looks like his a king. The way he looks at you feels like you are not important, just a speck of dust in his sight. His cold and empty eyes can make you suffocate and freeze to death. "Why would you call off the engagement, Lady Marina?" Lord Ethan asked, half amused. He looks lazily playful in his sitting position, the other corner of his lips curled into a playful smile. I almost can't control my eyebrows from twitching. His behavior

Nina's POVMy heart palpitated when the carriage slowed down. I turned my head to look outside the window there, I saw the bustling streets, the lively crowd, and the wonderful buildings.My heart can't help but beat faster and faster every time the carriage runs deeper into the town square it was as if I run a 100-meter sprint.The carriage stopped its track. The door beside me opened, and a hand showed up. It was Orlando, offering his assistance. I silently took it and stepped down the carriage.A gushing wind brushed through my skin and blew my hair away. The corner of my lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.Finally!We are here! I'm like a child stepping on a square for the first time. My eyes almost sparkled when I looked around the whole place.There are so many shops, bookstores, salons, boutiques, and more! I want to visit all the stores here!And from where I am standing I can see here the huge bell tower, besides it, is the famous Psalm Hall, the famous dome where all f

Nina's POV. One word to describe the Women's Wear? It would be superb. Very beautiful. It feels like I'm living in a fairytale dream. Dresses were arranged in an orderly manner based on their style, color, and material. The whole boutique looks so fancy and clean, I'm embarrassed. I looked left and right to see more, it turns out that not only dresses are their but also accessories, such as feather hats, gloves, shoes, and parasols. It's like I'm appreciating the clothes of those days more now. It's really beautiful and very elegant to look at. The designs and decorations are very detailed. They are placed symmetrically. It can't be easily seen somewhere else. We continued walking until we got to a private room. Amy quietly follows me. I don't know, it's just my feeling but Amy doesn't feel human, maybe it's just my impression. How did I come up with that conclusion? It's because of her expression. There wasn't even a trace of emotion on her face, not even a cold expression. Just

Chapter Seven.Nina's POV"What the!? Hurry up or else they will catch us in no time!" the stranger shouted at me.I don't remember why I followed him but I just found myself being dragged by him while running.When I heard him shout at me, the pulse on my temple almost burst. How dare him! This is my fastest run.I suddenly have the impulse to hit him if we're not being chased and it isn't my fault if I run slow. For pete's sake, I'm not an athlete and I'm wearing this heavy dress."Why are you running!"I can't stop yelling at him because I'm already getting tired and he has the audacity to complain. And come to think of it, why are we running!? Why am I even running?I can't also understand myself, why did I let myself to be dragged here? Well what else? I can't break the grip on my hand, that's the very reason why to this day I am still following him.This stupidity! Why am I so weak!? I can't even pull my hand and stop him from running."Just!

Chapter Seventy-Three.My hand trembled after reading that last passage of the diary entry. I didn't realize my breathing stopped for a few seconds until I felt that the oxygen around me wasn't going to my lungs.I tried to calm down and tighten my thoughts and feelings. Soon, my breathing calmed down and for once again I tried to read the last part of the entry one more time.I don't even know why I am feeling nervous. My body just shivered on its own and started trembling.I don't understand what's wrong. But instead of focusing on this detail I decided to read the entry. It was as if I was reading a forbidden knowledge, or I was spying on Senior Janice's secrets.For the last time I breathed a sigh and ironed my heart.“Elemental spirit! Isn't that amazing!? I heard and read from the records here in the magic tower that almost half of the Archmages last hundred years ago did have a contract with elemental spirits!But the problem is, encountering them just once is very rare!

Chapter Seventy-Two.After taking another sip of my wine, I drop the glass and put it on the table. Breathing in for a second and two, and making sure no one was really around me.I immediately sat down on the bed and traced a circle in front of me. The dark space soon opened and revealed some things.I didn't look at or touch the sword, instead I took the papers at the bottom. Grabbing the yellowed stain papers, I arranged them and placed them above the queen size bed.I pick up the very first page near me."4th Month of Gold (March). Why are my friends so stupid? I've repeated myself so many times. Don't be fooled by those people from the magic tower! They are scamming us! Thinking that the key to fully control our mana and have our mana core strengthen is by forcing to manipulate the mana around us. Which is very stupid if I may say.The key thing about mana control is not about grasping them, but digesting them! It's nothing about tapping powers, but being one with our attribute!

Chapter Seventy-One."Let's go inside." Marquess Bernardo offered and led us inside the mansion. We walked ahead as we made our way to the five story building. When a homeowner enters their home for the first time, they have to personally walk from the gate to the door of the residence. It symbolizes that this is our territory, my future territory.It was some sort of implication that the heiress is back, it was a subtle announcement that I will soon inherit this. And if I was honest, it made my heart tremble with joy and anxiety.I don't like the flow. Something didn't feel right but I couldn't see it, I would just be much more vigilant now. This wasn't necessary, but mother and father still did it.screeeech-The large iron gate with the black crow closed, and our figure started to disappear from the eyes of the outside wall.All of us silently walk on our way until father picks up a question in the road.

Chapter Seventy.Nina's POV“The southeast really is different.” my eyes reflected a new scenario. It was very different from the busy Capital, but the people and establishment almost looked the same.I saw a mother feeding her son a meal. It reminds me of my mother, my mom from earth.She loved being able to cook and bake meals for her loved ones - thrived on taking care of the children. It was our nature to only be able to produce one child and even that was difficult for them, so Mama and Papa felt very lucky when their little child came along. Then when mother and father's work asked them to transfer in the city, Grandma who of course disagreed immediately. It may be the nature of our family to only have one child, that maybe the reason why my grandma was so overprotective of me and my mother, to be a mother and she'd always wanted a large family."The atmosphere feels mixed up."That was what came out of my mouth based on what I saw out through the window. Rita seemed to understa

Chapter Sixty-Nine.Third Person's POVOk.Ok.Ok.Footsteps could be heard on the late night as shadows and moonlight dance across the mirror space.Thud.A soft thud could be heard as five silhouettes landed on the ground."What the hell happened here?"Under the dim moonlight, the man on front who was wearing a black windbreaker that was shorter than a coat, but longer than a jacket turned around to look at his colleagues.That silhouette was partially camouflaged in the darkness, bathing in the silver moonlight. That silhouette turned around slowly. His eyes are deep, gray, and cold."A battle." he simply answered.The man who has bright blue eyes could help but twitch his eyebrows at how dry the response was. If it wasn't for his friend he would have already smacked the heck out of the man's brain.The blue eyed man just shook his head and walked towards the laying cold corpse. He squats down like a frog before observing the corpse. Two more people wearing the same black windbrea

Chapter Sixty-Eight.I walked slowly and stopped right in front of Zen's bruised body. I squat and dispel the scythe on my hand.There's a lot of blood covering his face, especially on his nose and mouth. I lifted my hand and held it under his nose.Warm air brushed through my fingers.I nodded in satisfaction.Fortunately, he isn't dead yet. But anytime soon, he probably would. And we don't have much time now.My sight landed on the blessed sword not far away Zen, it was laying flat cold on the ground just like its holder."Over there, are you still there?" I asked as I stood up and walked over to the blessed sword.It too a few second before Droon answered, "un... I'm still alive..."I just ignored the slight displeased in his voice. I bent down and reached for the sword. "Can you heal him? We need to get out of here now. I don't want another headache from those Gardeners." I muttered as I raised the blessed sword.Droon snorted, "What do you want… me to do?… Heal someone?… did you
My Next Life As A Wicked Dame (ENGLISH) Chapter Sixty-Seven
Chapter Sixty-Seven.I jump backwards multiple times before landing in a safe distance. I held my weapon on the other hand, and observed my arms and body.Sticky liquid that smells like rust and iron invaded my nostrils. Deep cuts could be seen but I didn't feel any pain.I was about to wipe the blood when in a flash, a silver sword was coming towards my face. A white glow emanated from its blade.-Woom!As if a bolt of lightning had descended, a bright light illuminated the room and a horizontal white streak of light appeared on my right side. I immediately rolled over before it hit me.Without letting me breath another sword passed through my left side, I tilted my head and twirl my scythe above me to deflect another annoying sword above me."You're pretty heartless do you know that?" He said as he slowly walked towards my direction playing with his greatsword."You just left your partner dying in my hands," he stated with a grin.I look at him blankly, "is that so?"I ready my hand

Chapter Sixty-SixSoon, everything around me started to change. The house, the people, the furniture, everything in my eyes slowly changed. Everything no longer looked like what it was before.Slowly, everything around me started resembling an old television form before. The whole place turned into a three-dimensional space that was painted in black and white.My heartbeat which was beating unevenly calmed down. Following my heartbeat, my breathing became even and I felt all my emotions leaving my body.My whole point of view changed into a familiar background. As if it was deja vu, a familiar background yet I don't seem to remember what it was.I looked at where Zen was standing yet I didn't feel the need nor spare a chance to care about his condition. I no longer cared for Zen. I no longer cared for the heretic who was in the state of going crazy. I no longer cared about anything other than fulfilling my mission.I only had one goal.That is to kill the heretic who seems to know my

Chapter Sixty-Five.Not far away from the place where Marina and Zen were fighting. A dark-skinned humanoid creature with devilish horns protruding from the top of its forehead was sitting on the top of a tree. With one of its legs resting on the branches of the tree and an arm supporting one of its cheeks, the creature had its eyes closed. It had a muscular human body with two bat-like wings attached to its back. From behind its tailbone, a long black tail wiggled around the air.Sensing something, the humanoid creature slowly opened its eyes revealing two deep red eyes that exuded boundless bloodlust.Staring at me who was frozen solid in place Looking at the fight between devil worshipers and the Gardeners, the humanoid-like creature smiled eerily as it looked down on the mess."Ku Ku Ku, what have we got here?" as his attention was attracted to three persons. A young boy with a blessed sword in hand, a heretic with a dark holy sword, and a young girl with a lingering aura of death
