That was how I was known in the empire. The devil who killed her own family. No one even tried to know who I had killed and why.. All they did was to accuse me for that, yet I was never punished.
Even killing a single noble could lead to your death punishment, yet I did not even face a trial! Have they never thought about why it was so? Those screams! Those wails still haunt me and yet I was the villainess like always.
I came out of my reverie when I felt a metallic smell, filling my nose. I looked down at my hands, I was so immersed in the past again that I didn't even realize that I had broken the cup in my hands.
Its pieces have pierced my fingers and palm. But I didn't feel any pain. I was numb, my heart, my emotions, everything was numb as it was neither the first time, nor it would be the last time when i was called the villainess and now that i have gained the title, i make sure that i keep up to the expectation of people who have adorned me with it.
