Cordelia's P.O.V
Looking at the sky above, peacefully sitting in the garden alone while thinking about the things that had happened earlier. I picked a rose and brought it close to my nose to smell it. I can clearly hear my older brother Callistus shouting my name inside the mansion.
"Lady Cordelia! The young master is very furious about what you did in the market" My personal maid Freyah said in a panicked voice while running to my direction.
"Come down Freyah, don't worry I can handle it" I smiled at her and stood up from my seat. I walked back in to the mansion and saw my furious brother crossing his arms, his bright emerald eyes is glaring at me as if shooting daggers on my forehead. If looks could kill, I would be dead by now.
"Mind explaining what happened in the market?" he said calmly but I can feel the frustration in his voice.
Shrugging my shoulders, I looked and smiled sweetly at him, saying "That wretch deserved that brother, all I did was teach her a lesson" his gaze looks more furious than he was earlier
"You almost burned her alive Cordelia! Do you not realize what you've done?!" I kept quiet and just stared at him knowing that he has more to say "You will taint our family name, father and our ancestors worked so hard to have a good reputation and background, and you" he said while pointing at me "You will just ruin all of it if you continue acting like that, grow up Cordelia! You're lucky the Baron agreed to settle it with money as compensation for your villainous deeds"
"You don't understand brother, I was ju- - -
Cutting me off, he shouted my name and told me to stop giving excuses for my villainous acts. I shut my mouth, turned my back and ran to my bedroom, not being able to stand any longer my brother's lectures and our one sided conversation.

I stayed in my bedroom for the whole week. My three personal maids are the only ones allowed to enter my room.
My father had been knocking on my door from time to time. The first time he was furious, the second time he was calm but still a hint of disappointment is in his voice, the third time he sounded worried, the rest he just sound worried and concerned, asking me to come out of my room.
Walking around my room like a weird lunatic going crazy without nothing to do, a sigh escaped my lips as I looked back to what had happened in the market.
I got into trouble again with that crazy daughter of Baron Wilfred Astley, named Susana. I was just peacefully buying things in the market when all of a sudden I saw Susana harassing two peasant kids just because they got her "pretty dress" dirty. It doesn't even show that much, so what's her deal?
Not able to stand her narcissistic behavior, I made my way to them, grabbing her arms harshly as she almost slapped a defenseless little kid. "Let go of me you!!" she yelled
"Susana, it seems like you really like torturing defenseless people. If I were you, I'd choose someone my own size" I calmly said, giving her a glare
Rolling her eyes at me, she then chuckled and said "Stop acting like a hero Cordelia, you're worst of the worst and people fear you because you're a villainess" Losing my temper, I felt my body burning. I am still holding her arms and before I know it, a fire emerged from my hands, her dress burning, and people panicking and accused me of trying to kill her.
I turned around and went home right away. I still have no control over my powers up till now. My parents used to tell me that my power's too strong, and can cause danger to those around me if I don't have control over it. People are scared of me because of that, they talk bad about me because they see me as a threat. I was bullied a lot when I was younger telling me that I'm a freak and that I don't deserve to live, I used to cry a lot too. My twin brother Cassius, always saves me from the bully. I was very sensitive when I was young and is still sensitive to this day. But that doesn't mean that I'm not gonna stand up for myself.
Thanks to my hobby of reading books that I learned to act like a villainess. At first it was hard but as time passed by it became natural for me to act like that, thanks to those stupid people who has nothing to do but to mock and drag others down to make them feel better about themselves.
Just to clarify some things. I might have a reputation of a villainess but I never hurt innocent people. Regardless, I'm still the "Villainous Cordelia" who shows no mercy to those who tries to get in my way.
