The Villainess 'Simple' Life

Chapter 2 - Competition

As the pair started going into the private room that was reserve for them, Lyra heard her name being yell.

"Lyra!"

"Mother, you go in first. I will talk with brother and sister for a moment." As Lyra said that, her mother pinch her cheeks. "Okay but be safe. If your siblings bully you, don't hesitate to tell mother." After her mother said that, she walked into the private room.

When she turn around, she saw her siblings walking towards her. "Shall we make a promise to the winner?" Violet and Oliver were asking her. "What promise?" Lyra was curious to what promise did these two possibly wanted. "How about if both of us wins then you have to spend the whole day with us!"

"Okay" Lyra didn't mind spending the whole day with her siblings. Oliver and Violet were excited as they barely get to spend time with their adorable Lyra. Lyra was always busy with her studies.

"Why don't I join in this little bet too?" A boy that looks about 15 was walking towards them. Luke, head of the knight at age 15. "Hello there, siblings of the Clarke's family." Is this guy a threat to the Clarke's family? I don't remember him being a sibling to any of the capture target. " Hello there Luke Walker." Oliver and Violet replied.

Lyra's View:

As I look at this guy, I see him looking at my sister. Oh I see, he likes my sister. "May I ask how old are you. You look 15."

"I am 17." He's not that old, but I wonder does my sister like him? As Lyra glance at her sister, Violet just smiles at her and pinch her lovely cheeks. Well, I guess not. Oh well, more love for me then. He can't take my sister away from me yet. "Mother is waiting for us inside the room. Shall we go now?" I'm getting tired of being looked at. "Of course."

"Excuse me then, I must go back to my family now." As Luke said that, he started walking away. When we were inside the room, I went to mom and hugged her. "Mother, I think I found a candidate for sister. His name is Luke Walker." As I whisper that to my mom, she couldn't help but laugh. "Oh dear, your worry about your sister already. How cute." As we kept talking and talking, it was almost time for the competition. "Well mother and Lyra, we must excuse ourselves now as the competition is about to start."

3rd person view:

When the competition was about to begin, the king and queen started walking into the stadium. "Welcome all, for the past few centuries we have been hosting this event to discover talents from far and wide. As promise, for the top 3 talents, you shall have your wish granted as long as it does not badly effect this country. And the one with the most talents shall have his wish first. Now, let us enjoy this wonderful competition to be able to see the youths with the most talents."

This event has many parts to it. But the main one were strength and knowledge. People who won each category would then compete in these two main ones. Everyone has to compete in these two categories. As one need strength and knowledge to truly survive in this world. For the strength part, you get randomly pick to fight on stage. And for the knowledge, it's the same thing. Expect that you have to answer questions instead. Then the points would add up and whoever has the most points would win first place. It's quite simple for the fighting part but the knowledge part was pretty hard.

In the end, Violet won first place, Oliver won 2nd, and Luke won 3rd. Everyone kept praising the Duke's family on how talented their children were. The Duke and Duchess were proud of their children as this was a tradition for them. Every single time, someone from the Duke's family would always win 1st place. Last time, it was Oliver and now it's Violet.

Lyra's View:

Guess I will be hanging out with sister and brother now. Hehe, of course my siblings would win, I trained them to be the best of the best. I would ask to fight with Oliver while I would ask to speak about random things with Violet. But I guess they were going easy on me as Oliver would always forfeit and sister would always ask about me.

If the siblings hear this, they would definitely cry. When Lyra and Oliver were sword fighting, Lyra would always have a intimidating aura that was unsuited for a 4-years-old and that would scare Oliver. And when Violet and Lyra talks, Lyra would always say something that Violet couldn't understand.

But in the end, it was useful. As Oliver kinda got over the aura and even develop an aura himself. He also got many new technique that was from Lyra. While Violet gain knowledge about other countries and even learned some secrets about their country.

*Knock knock*

I saw 2 strangers along with father walking towards me and mother. "Daddy!" I started running towards him and hugged him. "My dear, wasn't the competition quite exciting." I nodded and father picked me up. Beside him, the strangers were looking at me. "What a cute child you have here Harry." Who are these strangers to call father by his name.

Then I suddenly remember, they were the queen and king of this country. I wasn't suppose to meet them until my 6th birthday which was in 2 years. Oh no! I was suppose to be sick today. Does that mean that the crown prince is here with them! I saw a kid walking in, he had an aura that says 'elegant'. That must be the crown prince, I guess. I'm debating, should I be friends with the crown prince to not have a bad future or should I do something about this prince. No! I want a simple life! Killing is a no no. But should I?
