The Villainess 'Simple' Life

Chapter 4 - Ceremony (2)

People started surrounding me and praising me. My parents started coming towards me then suddenly mother and father hugged me. I looked at them with a confused face. "Dear, your talent is amazing! You have dark, light, water, earth, air, and teleporting." I just smiled at them. If I told them that my mana was endless, I wonder how they would react like. Thinking about this I laughed.

Suddenly people around me were having nosebleeds. I wonder why? Oh well.

"P.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you Lyra Ainsworth Clarke." The Crown Prince started talking to me all of a sudden. "P.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you too, Crown Prince."

"May I ask to speak with you alone?" I glance at my parents to see their reactions but they just kept smiling. "Lead the way please."

We started walking outside towards the bench. "What would you like to speak about, Crown Prince?" I remember that right now the prince would start saying sugary things towards me to win my heart.

"Oh my, you look so beautiful!"

"Your parents must be so proud of you. After all, not many people have talents like you."

"I can't believe that you have 6 magical powers, I only have 4. Your future fiancé must be quite happy to have such a talented fiancée."

And it worked... Well it was suppose to work but I had the knowledge of the future. He started saying all of these sugary things towards me that I was honestly getting bored of. Then a thought pop into my brain

Let us have a look at the Prince's thought, shall we. As I lead a small amount of mana towards the Prince's brain, I was honestly surprise by the thought of him.

[Lyra is really pretty, too bad I can't have her. She is only a piece of chess in my little game for power! I must become the emperor of this country and for that to happen, I need Lyra. I need to say sugary things to her first.]

My my, why does a six-years-old have a thought like that. How interesting, Too bad I have to wait 10 more years before I can start playing. With this, Lyra gave a chilling smile but it disappear within a second. But let us have a little bit of fun.

"Thank you prince for your kind words. I hope that in the future, my fiancé would be like you."

"We can get an engagm-"

"Well, that was a fun talk, shall we head back now?" I didn't even wait for him to answer before I head back inside.

"Hello master." Lyra looked at the person who called her master. "Isn't this a wonderful surprise to see you here!" The person who called Lyra master was a person that Lyra met 2 years ago at the event. She showed a promising future so Lyra decided to take her in. This person's name was Ice. Fits her perfectly though. 2 years ago, Ice joined the event hoping for a better future for her and her brother. Lyra thought that she showed great potential so Lyra gave her an offer.

At first, Ice just thought that Lyra was an arrogant little child but she soon came to realize that Lyra wasn't joking. Lyra told Ice to attack her and if Ice wins, Lyra would give her 500 gold coins. Ice didn't want to do it since it would affect her code. Never attack an innocent child.

Lyra, seeing this just likes her more. So she thought of another idea. If Lyra could attack Ice then Ice would lose. Ice had no objection to this idea as she thought that no way that a 4-years-old would beat her. After all. she got 5th place in the event. Soon Lyra started attacking Ice with her fist. And it didn't even take one minute before Ice started using her mana.

'This child is strong' Ice soon admitted defeat and that's how Ice came to be Lyra's loyal comrade. Ice has been going around the kingdom and other kingdoms to look for child with talents. Lyra told her that she wants to create a group that people would respect and also fear at the same time.

Ice ask Lyra why since she already have since the Duke's protection and Lyra's reply was, "In this world, people would only respect you if you prove your worth to them. True, the Duke's household is strong but that's not because of me. The Duke's family is strong because of my father. I want to be strong by myself. I don't want to bother my parents anymore. My father is always busy with work yet he still has time for us. And my mother is busy supporting dad and taking care of the Duke's household. My brother is getting ready to become the next Duke. While my sister is also taking care of the household alongside my mom. I'm the only one in the family who's isn't doing anything to help them. So this is the only way. I must create a group that is loyal towards me and my family only!"

Lyra said that with such determination that Ice couldn't help but cry. And since then, Ice and her brother has been on the lookout for talents everyone. From people living on the streets to the upper class.

"P.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to see you here too Ice! But where's your brother?" Lyra couldn't help but look for Ice's brother. After all, he looks like a little cute bun. "Reporting to master, he is currently on the lookout for talents right now."

"No need to call me master in public, people will think it's weird. A 16-years-old calling a 6-years-old master." At the thought of that, Lyra started to giggle. People couldn't help but stare at Lyra. When she giggles, she looks too beautiful.

Ice and Lyra soon separated. Lyra walked back to her family. "Mother" Lyra got pick up by her mother and soon fell asleep in her mother's arm.
