The Villainess Wants To Go Home

The carriage came to halt by the entrance of the castle. It's giant wooden doors stood high in front of me, the castle itself was made from stone and gold bricks layering from top to bottom with a few vegetations growing from the cracks and corners of the stones yet it still looked astonishing to look at. The castle was tall and humongous, disappearing in the midst of clouds.

I held my breath at the breathtaking sight. The last time I was here it was too dark to see how the castle presented itself neither did I pay any mind to it but looking out the carriage window and in daylight I could see how shiny and tall the castle really was.

'I wonder how big and grand it is inside.'

"I hope you understand what I said" Ariana stood up and patted down her dress.

"Your making me rethink my decision" I rolled my eyes.

Ariana was about to say something, but the carriage door swung open preventing her to say anything harsh to me. She glared at me once more then to walk out stepping onto the stairs.

I followed behind her taking a step at the first step and the footman stood in front of the carriage with his hand stretched out to escort me down. I waved my hand in refusal, not needing his help to get down. He looked rather stunned but shook it away before bowing his head in curtsey.

"My lady Ariana" I heard an old man's voice in front of us. Looking at the butler standing there, his grey hair slicked back like a gentleman, he looked like he worked in the palace his whole life.

'Could this be the royal butler of the emperor? Leonardo. In the book he was written as Ariana's loyal supporter. He helped Damon and Ariana blossom their love while making sure Diana didn't interfere once before she was executed. He loathed Diana to the core'.

His wary brown eyes suddenly shifted to mines, examining me in hatred. His hatred glare towards didn't bother me once. I was already used to people hating me here and my past life.

"Lady Diana" there was disgust in his voice as he said my name.

"...." I blinked not saying anything in response. 'What was I supposed to say to him. Hello Leonardo, my name is Artemis Ray from Japan nice to meet you. Please don't get me confused with Diana?'
