'Did he just call me Nedryn Darkvale? As in Standing by you's main villain. The man who makes my Sashina's life miserable?'
I couldn't get my heart to calm down. Whatever nightmare I am in needs to end soon. I am not enjoying this anymore, it is a bad dream that I need to wake up from.
"Let's get him dressed," the old man ordered. Now that I think about it, he is the one. Nedryn Darkvale's butler Zanir Silverbrook, popular known, and the snake charmer. Not for the charming snake but for the perfect control of his silver snake weapon.
He is a very dangerous man and is feared by all including the king himself but that is just extra knowledge from the book. The man himself was not aware, the only person who ever challenged him was the villain Nedryn himself but that was to chapter 500 of the book.
I was in no way ready to challenge the snake demon at all. Now that I think of things more clearly everything here is just like in the book. Including the trip to Aphidia, which is where Nedryn and Davion get to meet Sashina.
'Did I somehow get sucked into the book like one of those transmigration novels?' I asked in my thoughts. My heart racing in my chest at the possibility of that happening.
I let the young men dress me up while I try to figure the situation that I was in. The situation up until now is chapter three, where the second male lead is supposed to go to Aphidia and meet both leads of the novel. He falls in love with Sashina at first sight.
"Wait," I found myself yelling out loud.
"What is the problem young prince?" Zanir asked me to bring him out of my clothes.
"I look amazing. That is what I wanted to say," I stated with a weak smile on my face for him.
It is unbelievable that I got transmigrated into my favorite novel only to become the villain who neither gets a happy ending or the girl. I also know how I am going to die, the ending was fun when it was Nedryn my enemy dying. Not Nedryn when I am the character.
'If this is a dream. I would have woken up already,' I thought. 'If this is real then what?'
"Can I be left alone?" I asked.
The butler exited the room but not before giving me the eyes that say, dare to run away and you will surely get it from me. Closing the door I began to think of ways to not just avoid being thrown off the cliff but also get the love of my life.
This is a chance and destiny screaming to me that Sashina and I are meant to be together. Who am I to just stand by and do evil deeds that send the girl I like into another man's arms.
"I need to kick the male lead to become being second fiddle to me. That way I get the girl and the happy ending," I let out.
I need to work on sabotaging the male lead. I know the novel by heart, being aware of what they are to do even before they think of doing it. So I just have to be at the right place at the right time and spoil whatever plans the prince charming has and sweep the lady off her feet so she would be mine.
"Sorry author but the story will have to change. I will write my happy ending," I said sternly.
The author should understand where I am coming from. She best not fix the changes I make, she should consider things from my point of view and let things run it's a course in the direction I lead them to.
"Sashina, just a few more hours and we will get to meet each other," I said with butterflies in my stomach. Getting to meet my favorite character from the novel is a dream come true.
"Wait for me," I whispered in confidence.
I walked out of the room and joined the butler. We are going to meet my beloved, can't waste any more time going to Aphidia.
"Shall we?" I asked. The ace card that I have in my pocket is sure to get me the girl of my dreams. The prince should on to his luck because against me he stands no absolute chance.
I will hit him so hard he will be erased from the novel forever. Only my story will be told. Since I am the villain, it's okay for me to resort to cheap tricks to get the girl. I don't have a stupid reputation that I need to uphold, he should watch out as his worst nightmare is coming to him.
"We will arrive in Aphidia by evening," the butler informed. I heard him but didn't bother to reply. My thoughts of Sashina brought a smile to my face, my happy days lay ahead, and intend to capture every moment.
I closed my eyes to rest and refresh my memory of the novel. I need to jog my photographic memory to make sure that I have all my facts figured out. No matter the cost the life I want would be mine.

Davion's p.o.v
"We need to get you ready," I heard the annoying voice of my butler say. He whines like a pregnant woman. I can't stand it. So annoying.
"The prince of Xeris will be visiting us today. You need to be there to give him a proper welcome," the whining master said again. "Get up."
"Whining so much isn't going to get me out of here any faster," I said shutting him up. I wouldn't dare celebrate just yet. He might whine little a pregnant lady but he is more stubborn than a lady in heat.
I would know, my brother is a victim of such. He has close to seven ladies in court with who he releases his sexual urges, anyone can pity him with how clingy and stubborn those ladies are. They never take no for an answer insist on having things done their way every time. Poor thing.
"Davion Draleon Blakemore," he called out in a threatening voice.
"My name is beautiful and it sounds even more beautiful coming out of your lips," I teased and enjoyed how red he turned before storming off. If only he wasn't such a thick skin I would smile victoriously at him storming but I'm sure that he would only return to ruin my day.
I slide back into the warm water and soak my body in the water. The water feels so good on my skin. It would be a waste to get out of the water just to welcome some irrelevant prince from Xeris. My father and brothers can do it for all I care and nothing can get me out of this water.
"Hello, your highness."
My ears perked up hearing a female voice on top of my pool. What female dares to enter my bathroom? I remained in the water letting the flower petals keep her from seeing me.
"I know you are in the water and I won't leave until you talk to me," she said with her hand playing with the water.
"Get your filthy hands away from my bath water before I send you to your four father," I warned coldly.
"That wasn't so hard. Now that you are up, it's time to get dressed," she said with a sweet smile on her face.
"You are so sweet," I said walking towards her. "Wouldn't you rather getting into the pool with me?" I said in a seductive voice drawing her with my charm. Like a fool she takes the bait and starts blushing, women are such fools. Did my stupid butler think that he can get me out of the water by sending a woman to me?
"M..my p..prince," she said stammering. Hearing her voice break and watching her cheeks turning red was fulfilling. It is nice to see that my charms work like magic and on anyone.
"Won't you accept my request?" I asked her with a pouty face. And just like fairy dust she melted and started tearing up.
"I..i..."
"You will accept then," I said waiting for no reply I pulled her into the water. She struggles to swim in the water before she stabilizes and gets on her feet. She glared at me with a piercing gaze. "I know that I'm handsome but could you soften your gaze," I told her tracing her jawline. She shivers in my hand further increasing the smirk on my face.
"You...," she tried to say but my hand on her face was proving it difficult for her to continue.
"I can see all your curves perfectly now," I spoke causing her to notice how the dress hugged her body. She hurriedly pushes my hand away and gets up from the water. She dashes out of the room like a deer running away from a lion's den. I untie my hair and let it down to my waist.
"What did you do to h..."
I turned around to look at him and he gulped. I brushed my hair with my hair shaking the water from it. The simple move sent my butler's mind into chaos. My beauty is such that if I want it then both men and women would bow at my feet.
"What were you saying?" I asked him in a sweet innocent voice. 'Too cute,' I thought. I flipped my finger to bring him out of his dazed state and laid back into the water. "No need to stare. If you like what you see then come and get it," I said making him blush. He shook his head like he normally does when I get in his head and glared daggers at me. His gaze was sharp.
"Get out of the water now," he demanded raising his voice to the fullest.
"Or what my dear. Will you shower with kisses or pin me down an..."
"La la la la," he sang trying to keep my naughty words out of his ears. I can't say that I didn't enjoy rattling him but I do. It is my morning ritual and I can't start my day before getting my medicine.
"Winrus," I called to him. He removed his hands from his ears and looked at me. His eyes were sad, he looked like he was about to cry. My medicine is over, I hate this part.
"You really must hate me so much to want the king to behead me. If I don't get you ready then he will have my head," he said and started tearing up.
I sighed. It was fun while it lasted but I guess I have to get out of the water now. I blame the prince of Xeris for disturbing my morning three-hour bath, I have only been in the water for an hour. I got out of the pool and stood before him ready to get dressed.
"Stop crying, I'm out," I inform him and witness his eyes light up. He ran towards me and hugs me in happiness. Give it five seconds. 'Five, four, three, two, and one.
He let go of me and backed away recalling the difference in status and the fact that it is inappropriate for him to embrace me. He looks so cute that I can never bring myself to treat him like a slave. If it were up to me, I would end slavery in Aphidia but I am not the king and the king would never listen to such a topic.
"Won't you get me ready or do you need to feel my body once more," I teased and he turned scarlet. His face looks so good with a blush on. He should wear the look more often. "Get me ready before the king starts asking stupid questions," I reminded him cutting my happiness short.
