Re: The Villainess Does It With Class

"This too," I said as I pointed to my face, all the while smiling sweetly at the two ladies.

The two slowly reacted. Their eyes went wide like saucers, staring at me in both shock and disbelief. It was a great sight, it definitely made me feel good. Just looking at them gives me joy, seriously.

Estelle bit her lips as she looked at the two ladies who seemed to forget how to speak.. The other person with her, however, covered her mouth. She too was surprised.

"I can't believe you are like this! You're incorrigible!" The curly-haired woman exclaimed.

You know what, I'm tired of saying this hair stuff. Let us just call them, No and Nah. I'm tired, alright? I have no energy to spare…

No would be curly, and Nah would be blackie. Ah, maybe I should call them Curly and Blackie instead. Yep, that's it. It suits them.

Anyways, back to Curly. She said I was incorrigible.

I beamed at her, "Thank you. It's in my genes, you see."

If she could just meet my brother, she would know the true meaning of that word. But it's better that they don't because he would surely flip out on her. That man hates annoying things after all.

"Why is such a terrible woman like you famous? They all looked up to this kind of person?" Blackie seconded.

"I know right? It's really troublesome," I replied as I shook my head.

Being famous hurts. This is why I'd rather get unfamous, please. Unfamous me!

"We will tell everyone about the real you!" that was Curly and her equally curly mouth.

"That's right!" Blackie agrees.

"Sure, go ahead. That is if they would believe you, of course. After all, both of you are…" My eyes looked them over then pointed at them-- "... that. I mean, I can't even remember which family and what ranks you belong to. That's how irrelevant your existences to me are," I divulged.

Blackie gasps and so is Curly. They really are in sync!

"We will expose you!" Blackie exclaimed.

Shrugging my shoulders, "I don't really care. You can tell them whatever you want. Tell them that I love walking in the nude at night, or that I'm secretly a monster, or whatever outrageous things you could come up with. Go on, I won't stop you. Run your mouth, so then you would get reminded how foolish both of you are."

"Hggk!"

"Y-you--!"

I then faked a choking sound, mimicking them before bursting out in a loud laugh.

'Ah fvck, I'm really drunk, aren't I?'

Or maybe it's because of the drunkenness and exhaustion which is making me do weird things. I have no idea...

I stopped giggling and stared at them. There was a mischievous idea that sprang inside my head and while I feel giddy, I started doing what my head exactly wants me to do.

"Ah, you wanted to wear something like this, right?" and then pointed to Estelle's dress-- "But you can't afford it, obviously."

Ignoring their sharp glares, I grinned at them. 

"So why don't both of you find some rich old man as you suggested, and sell yourselves? Or maybe you already did, judging from those very expensive earrings you are wearing right now," then glanced at her ear.

The curly-haired woman flinched in reflex and touched the said ruby earrings. I noted how she suddenly looked very defensive, and that slight guilt I saw from her eyes did not escape me as well.

"Y-you are lying!" Curly yelled.

"Hmmm?" I hummed, still not discarding that wide grin on my face.

I lied? It was only a wild guess but I'm pretty confident with it. These gemstones came from another kingdom, that I would know. It has the same rubies that my brother gifted me on my social debut. Though they are of different designs, the stones could only be found in that one specific country.

They didn't come from a family of old money, nor they are from a family of merchants. They are probably only of baron ranks or maybe a viscount, so it would be impossible for them to possess such expensive jewelry. What's more, the two of them are matching.

  My eyes drifted towards the black-haired woman's neck, where a droplet necklace could be seen. She must have noticed where I was looking that she instantly covered herself.

"Heh. What's this? You both have the same rich old man?" I then let out an amused laugh, "That's a friendship goal right there!"

"S-shut up!" Blackie tried to stand against me, denying it vehemently.

A wicked glint was reflected in my eyes, "Oho~ You can't even defend yourself properly. You are not even trying to clear my assumptions of you. Is it because I am right?"

The two got even more tongue-tied that they could only open and close their mouths like how a fish would.

"I hit the nail on the head, didn't I?"

"Uuuuooo!!!!" Curly groaned.

I watched as tears gathered round in their spiteful eyes. Blackie could not even withstand it anymore, she started bawling her eyes off.

'How pathetic…'

They picked on those weaker than them and when they get the same treatment, they cry? Heh. Weak. They are so weak. 

"You better start reflecting on your actions. If you pissed me off again, I might do something terrible. Like perhaps…" I trailed off, prolonging their anguish-- "... exposing you and your rich old man. I wonder what would happen by then?" I stated.

I looked them right in their eyes for a solid second with all seriousness, before smiling at them again. The two could see the threat being mirrored in mine and must have felt how earnest I was, which is why they became timid all of a sudden. Blackie was still crying though.

'How unsightly…'

"Now, both of you, get lost," I said, picking up what Lukas had said.

The two immediately scampered away without even bothering to look back. It's fine by me, at least I get to feel at peace now.

This whole stupid thing just ate up my time and my patience. I feel more tired than ever. Even my way of thinking sounds tired. Look. Everything is curt. I feel so damn exhausted that all I want to do is crawl back home and sleep until next week.

Am I brushing away the fact that I was just bullying those two earlier? Eh? I don't know what you are talking about. I wasn't bullying them in the first place! I was only teasing. Teasing, okay? That is different.

And if you are wondering who was that rich old man I was going to expose, I also don't know. I mean, why would I get interested in rich old men anyway?! I was only bluffing earlier but it seems effective though.

At least those two would start behaving from now on, else their so-called illicit affair would be known for the world. Not that I am going to tell it to everyone else, I could care less about their affairs.

'Haaahhh… Now that is out of the way, I can now go to the restroom. Finally.'

Just then, I remembered that I wasn't alone. There were still two other people besides me, and both of them are gazing at me in wonder.

'Oh gosh…'
