My Sister the Heroine, and I the Villainess - Chapter 114

Chapter 114

Translator: Cyrus

I am Christina Noir . I am a genius .
With my mother’s blessing, I stood up on my own two feet at the mere age of one . When I was sixteen, I shattered Destiny to pieces through the bond with my beloved sister . And I’ve graduated from the Academy at the age of eighteen .
Thus, I’ve formally entered the political realm of high society .
I’m in the waiting room at a party . I’m dressed in luxurious clothes, and I’m just a little nervous .
I may say that I’m fully prepared to do what I have to, but I know it’ll take more than being prepared .
The first step to saving my sister is overthrowing my father . And in order to win her freedom in the true sense, I have to overthrow this society that runs on social status .
Even for a genius like me, my enemy is strong and formidable . Even though I have many allies, my opponent seems limitless in strength and number .
I hear a voice beside me, without a hint of nervousness .

“To think that I would be debuting in high society . ”

Surfania mumbles thoughtfully . Hearing her say so, I begin to relax my shoulders .

“……Yeah . Since childhood, you’re probably the one who has changed the most . ”
“That may be . ”

She agrees with me, as if realizing how much she has changed .
Since we’re both the same age and are members of royalty, we’re in the same waiting room . Or rather, we asked to be in the same room .
Surfania is always cutting corners on her appearance, but today she’s dressed wonderfully, and she looks just like a proper lady .

“Aren’t your sisters happy that you’ve decided to debut in high society?”
“Be silent . I don’t want to remember the sight of them dancing in joy . ”
“Ahaha . I can’t even begin to imagine that . ”

Her sisters still have a pretty serious sister complex . Seeing such a gloomy sister walk a decent path in life must have made them so happy .

“By the way, why are you helping me, Surfania?”

I’m referring to my plan to save Michelie .
Charles is helping me for my sake . Rona is helping me out of pure admiration, and Catalina is probably taking my side mostly to change the social system . As for Leon, well, he’s probably helping for Surfania’s sake .
I can tell that Surfania has no interest whatsoever in my ideals and goals . I have to find out what’s driving her .

“Is it out of friendship? Are you playing along because we’re best friends? I’m glad . ”
“Stop saying such stupid and annoying things . ”

Surfania is ruining my joke .

“After everything is over, I think I shall make a story out of your chaotic life . I shall then live a peaceful and quiet life on novel royalties . That will be my reward . ”
“Hmm?”

Well, if that’s all she wants, then I don’t mind at all .
The biography of my greatness will surely make a bestseller, and will most likely be written in history as well .

“I’m going to cause a great commotion that will take years to quell, you know?”
“That’s fine . That in itself is worth writing . And I’ve already decided on the title . ‘Labyrinth Destiny’ . How does that sound?”
“You have no sense of delicacy at all . Can I burn it?”
“Of course not!”

Surfania screams in my face . I’ve finally found someone who’s harder to deal with than Prince Endo .

“……It’s almost time to enter the party . I’ll be going ahead of you, Missus Noir . ”
“S-shut up, Miss Calibrachoa!”

My face is turning red in response to her teasing .
She’s calling me Missus instead of Miss . I don’t have to explain what that means . ……I’m too embarrassed to say it .

“Alright, alright . I’ll see you at the party then . I’m looking forward to your daring deeds . ”

Perhaps having had her satisfaction in teasing me, Surfania looks at me with an abusive smile, then allows her father to escort her out of the waiting room .
The room becomes completely silent as I see her off . A thought comes to my mind, and I blurt it out .

“……Now that I think about it, Mariwa is always going to be Miss Toinette, huh . ”
“Do you want me to make you silent?”

I was caught by surprise . I look outside to see who it is .

“Y-you’re here, Mariwa . ”
“Yes . I am here to accompany you and your friends today, after all . ”

It’s Mariwa Toinette . Her eyes are as sharp as a hawk’s . She’s not wearing a fancy dress, but her clothes still make her look surprisingly graceful and elegant .
In order to show my resolution to overthrow my father, I asked Mariwa to accompany us for our formal debut in high society . I told Father not to come with me, and he looked rather depressed . I honestly wish he would relax . I’m about to make him suffer from now on, but as a present, I also intend to let him live a peaceful and quiet life as soon as possible .

“Thanks for accepting my request to accompany us . ……But is it really okay?”

It was a struggle before I was born . When Mariwa was with Princess Evelia, she didn’t show herself in public .
Mariwa nods without a second thought, as if she fully understood my doubts .

“I do not mind . I do not intend to fail again, and I have nothing else to lose now . ”

If she says so, then all the better . I possess the same overwhelming popularity as the late princess, who lived in the previous generation . Even though Mariwa is of that same generation, she will be of help to us through her connections . That’s very reassuring .
Mariwa escorts me out of the waiting room and accompanies me to the party .
My body is trembling, not out of nervousness or fear, but out of excitement . The struggle that awaits me is probably going to cause the greatest commotion in my life .
In order to free Michelie from the shackles of a hierarchical society, I’m going to destroy the institution of nobility itself .
All in all, I’m a person who likes to stand out . And my sense of purpose comes from facing and overcoming difficulties . I never thought that such a wonderful public stage awaited my beyond my past life in Labyrinth Destiny, from which I have broken free .

“Now then, Lady Chris . ”
“Stop calling me Lady, Mariwa . I’m not a child anymore . ”
“My apologies, Missus Noir . ”

My cheeks are flushed red, and I’m frowning .
It’s my first step in my debut in high society, and my battle against the governing system .
My heart is pounding in expectation and preparation for the long, distant battle ahead of me beyond that door . Mariwa looks at me in a final confirmation .

“No hesitation . ”
“Of course . ”
“And you will not fear whether who likes or dislikes you . ”
“Yeah . ”
“And whomever you may hurt, you will not recoil from the pain . ”
“I’m fully prepared . ”
“And…… you will not go off somewhere far away, all alone?”
“……I won’t!”

I’m staring straight into Mariwa’s brown eyes . Knowing that I won’t waver from now on, I affirm all of Mariwa’s questions .
Finally, Mariwa nods .

“In that case, let us go . ”
“Yeah!”

That’s right .
This country will know my name .
This body is a parting gift from my mother from childbirth, and Mariwa has raised me well . I will devote myself to my sister, the heroine . But in this story, I am not the villainess .
I open the door to the elegant gathering of ladies and gentlemen, the door to my battlefield .
Everything is unknown from this point on, but I know I will enjoy it rather than fear it . A world where everything is predetermined is such a fragile one .
In this unscripted world, Mariwa tells me the role that is more fitting for me .

“From here on, you are the main character . ”
“Of course . ”

I proudly accept my role .

“I am Christina Noir . ”

That’s my greeting as I enter . I haven’t forgotten the manners and etiquette I have perfected so well, but I’m trying to break the tradition and charm everyone by acting like myself .
Everyone is staring at me dumbfounded . I raise my voice in order to publicly announce my intention to start a revolution .

“I am the main character who loves my sister the heroine, and I am a genius!”

The world in which I am the main character has just begun .
