Semua Bab I'M BETTER OFF BEING A VILLAINESS THAN A HEROINE : Bab 11 - Bab 20

"Max, you need to take care of Erella."Marchioness Camille reminded her nephew. Today is the day she will return home but she felt unhappy. Because she didn't want to return home and see those three evil witches' faces. If not the reason she needed the consent of her stepmother for her engagement with the young duke, she will never see those evil witches' faces anymore. She will just sneak back home to take her little friends with her. But the Marchioness already informed her stepmother through the letter. So she didn't have any choice but to return home. 'Tsk! For sure those suckers will give me trouble first before giving me consent with the engagement.' Erella thought nibbling her fingernail.  'What should I do? Do I need to use my magic on them? Hmmm...' She thought. Then she shook her head. 'I can't use my magic on them. Surely, I'll kill them accidentally because I can't still fully control how much ma

“Our young lady was incredible.” “She cut through those beasts like they were nothing.” “And she killed the big one that even His Grace struggled with—within seconds. Unbelievable.” “From now on, I’ll serve Lady Erella with my life.”Erella heard the knights’ voices outside the carriage as she blinked awake. They had bought a replacement coach in the last village after the wreck; a practical, plain thing compared to the carriage from von Heinlein, but safe enough. Her head still felt heavy from the nap she didn’t know she’d taken—probably the mana crash after last night’s blast—and the sunlight had the lazy gold of late afternoon.Her face flushed hot when she realized the praise was meant for her. They’re talking about me, she thought, cheeks burning at the unfamiliar attention. The knights’ admiration warmed something inside her that had been cold for years. She’d always been invisible; suddenly she was the centre of protective loyalty. It was dizzying.“Are you sure you’re okay,

“Mom, how can we even get close to the young duke? Erella’s glued to him every second!” Audrey hissed through clenched teeth, her sharp gaze following the pair in the garden.From where they sat in the courtyard, the golden rays of the afternoon sun made the scene look almost picture-perfect — Erella laughing softly beside Maxwell von Heinlein, the empire’s most sought-after young duke. His expression, usually unreadable, now softened whenever his eyes met hers.The sight made Audrey’s stomach churn with jealousy. Beside her, Graciella crossed her arms, her expression no less sour.Baroness Paisley, their mother, didn’t respond immediately. Her sharp, calculating eyes followed the pair like a hawk watching prey.It had already been four long, miserable days, and every single one of their plans had gone down in flames.When the sisters tried to approach Max, he barely even acknowledged them — his icy-blue eyes passing over them as though they were invisible. He only ever looked at Erell

"Pl–Pl–Please have mercy on me! I–I promise I will not do it again!" Audrey’s voice trembled as blood dripped from the corner of her mouth. Her knees scraped against the floor as she crawled backward, fear shaking her body.Erella tilted her head slightly, her eyes cold and devoid of sympathy. “Oh my, my dear sister…” she said, her tone deceptively sweet. She placed a finger thoughtfully under her chin, pretending to think. “Should I give you mercy? Let me recall—did you ever give me mercy before?”Audrey froze, unable to speak. The silence that filled the room felt heavier than any scream. Erella’s soft humming filled the air as she pretended to ponder, and then—“Oh yes!” Erella snapped her fingers dramatically. Audrey’s face lit up with fragile hope.“Yes! I did! I did, Erella!” Audrey said frantically, desperate to cling to any chance of forgiveness. She knew her stepsister was really kind. She remembered when her stepfather was still alive, she pushed Erella into the pond becaus

SPLASH! Erella splashed water on her stepmother and stepsisters. They were choked painfully and started to cough.   "Wake up, you three evil witches!"Tubby squealed posing bravely behind Erella's left ankle. Erella, Eddy, and Suzy laughed at him because he was acting brave but actually, he was a great coward. They just stopped laughing when they saw Erella's stepmother and stepsisters slowly opened their eyes and looked at her disorientedly.   "I still want to leave them here outside Erella. If they die then it's their fault." Eddy said grumpily.     "Eddy, don't teach our Erella bad things," Suzy said while holding her waist with her left eyebrow raised. Eddy turned red because of embarrassment.     "D--Don't say that, Suzy! I---I'm not teaching Erella bad things. Uhmmmmm... I---I--I just don't want Erella to get tired." Eddy tried to give an excuse.
