My Man Is A Villain, So Am I!

Diana's POV

'Where...am I?'

My body...every part of it felt like I was dying burnt in the hellfire, the saliva in my mouth felt like it was poison with the bitterness.

My face used to be soft, smooth and when I touched it, it had a scar on it.

The pink eyes which were my pride became dark purple like the color of the banner on the other side of the iron rods.

White hair just like the scale of the dragon which saved me in the morning, the blood dripping on my knees was the same as the blood coming out of the dragon's throat as it was killed saving me in the process.

I...couldn't help it. My chest felt stuffy filled with frustration and anger as my hands were locked with the handcuff attached to the chain which tied to the flagpole.

I wanted to kill all of those people, seeing them cutting the flesh of the savior dragon and tearing it to piece and then eating it raw in front of my eyes.

I was disgusted, I was furious but I couldn't do anything except cry because of the agonizing pain in the stupid body of Marinette.

How the heck did she live in this body?

Ahh...

The cold prison floor gave me shivering down to my spine, the stomach rumbling and the tongue which felt numb and dry since I hadn't sipped a single drop of water since I was locked in the abandoned castle on the snowy mountain.

Step step

The sound of the shoes walking toward me with the dagger inside his hand, my eyelashes shook terribly in fear as I looked up to that man which behind of him was full of the glass filled with eyeball and tongue of human.

I...I didn't want my tongue cut off, I sealed my lip crawling to the end of the prison. I was scared, I never experienced something like that.

I wanted to go back, to Victor...someone...help...me...

No...no...

As his dagger slid down across the face to the scar on my face and then traveled to my lip, I couldn't resist except obey obediently.

"Boss, there's a woman walking alone in front of our base outside." his dagger stopped and turned to his underling. I couldn't even take a breath of relief terrified of the thought if that person didn't interrupt.

I could imagine the agonizing pain of losing my tongue, I didn't want...that...

"Let's catch her." he locked the prison cell and went off with his underling and the other two leaving me there alone in the prison.

The snowstorm outside was terribly cold, but thanks to the burning fire inside Marinette's body, I didn't die from that.

Marinette must be enjoying my body right when I was suffering in her body. I hated her. I abandoned all of my pride to ask her for help but...she rejected me.

She also traveled back in time, she knew all the future events. How could I not notice all those years? I was ignorant.

Arghh...

Help me out from the nightmare, I took my words back!! I didn't want her to know what it felt like to be me...because in her body was a hundred times worse.

I then appreciate my body when I lost it. I regretted wishing for that...what will happen if I'm stuck inside her body forever?

I tried every possible way to escape from Richard, I was delighted when Marinette took my place marrying that prince but then out of a sudden, I became her.

I...I didn't want to be the bird inside the cage any longer. I was waiting in that prison for someone, anyone to rescue me just like in my past life.

Who will help me?

Brother Tristan will have to go on the mission at that rate, in the end, I couldn't even save him.

I hated this...

I hate you, Marinette!!!!

Marinette's POV

Did someone just call me? I suddenly got the chill from my back like someone was calling me, or cursing me. Maybe it was just my imagination.

My new blonde dazzling hair was braided for one strand of it and then the rest of it, they curled it making it wavy.

My face was full of makeup, my lip turned bright red after applying many layers of lipstick.

"It's done, sir." I walked out of the dressing room in the clothes Victor and I picked together, pure white like the cloud decorated with silk, it was quite similar to the dress Diana wore in the ending when she cut Marinette's tongue off.

I felt a little uncomfortable in her body not like when I was in Marinette's body. I was used to Marinette's body immediately when I came to the world but that didn't apply to Diana's body.

"You...look stunning." Victor got up from the couch and went to kiss my hand as he complimented me.

Well, I wasn't surprised by that since the body was Diana, the fairy goddess of the empire. She even got the prize in the beauty competition too while Marinette was immediately in the novel.

For me to wear such an uncomfortable sexy dress and Victor in front of me who combed his hair to the back with some gel wearing the tie in the black suit. It was to blend inside the palace to steal the gem.

The place we were in at that moment was the supermarket underground, I never expected something like that to be built under the snowy empire.

The clothes were fashionable not much worse than the clothes on earth.

"Don't stay far away from me, okay?" I put my hands on him and the other hand held the purse I purchased using the money I got from the morning from Oliver...

Right at that moment, I finally realized the person I left at the surface.

I felt a little bit of guilt but I already left a monster to help him, to repay his good deed, I needed to complete the mission before sunrise to escape from the northern empire and to save my lovely big brother.

That guy must be received the mission by now, it was really troublesome to do so much unrewarding work. No matter how much I did for him, in the end...he will love Diana.

I could only take a deep breath walking beside Victor alongside all the guests walking toward the giant palace with the dragon behind it.

Failure meant death.

In the center empire,

"Every citizen of the capital!!! The imperial order from his majesty, the emperor requested for all of you to come to the main church immediately." everyone groaned annoyingly when hearing the announcer announce the imperial order at two in the morning.

It must be an emergency for him to do that, the noble rushed to prepare themself with their drowsy eyes and messy eyes while some of the commoners were murmuring on the street as they left their house to the destination they all went wearing their sleeping clothes.

"Do any of you know what his majesty called for us??" the citizen shook their heads and walked to the church cluelessly about what was gonna happen.

Everyone arrived at the church keeping their distance from where the announcer stood and the rest of the royal family who sat on the seat prepared for them at the church at the leg of the mountain.

Surrounding by the concrete four pure white pillars, the citizen started coming more and more murmuring as the emperor of Anastasia put his hand on his cheek crossing his leg looking at them in his comfortable suit made of silk showing a part of his chest and his arm muscles.

Richard was sitting beside his father as the one and only crown prince in the imperial suit and beside him was his mother, the empress while Prince Philip was nowhere to be found at that moment.

"Silent." the emperor muttered in a calming voice as he walked to the stand on top of the floating altar in front of his citizens. With his low little voice, everyone shut their lip unable to oppose his order.

Then the priest of the church with hair braid down to his waist, the one who raised the empress to be a saintess and also the godfather or uncle to Richard walked on the altar from the other side to stand beside his majesty.

Everyone in front of the white statue of goddess Anastaisa looked forward to the awaiting announcement in excitement.

The priest with the blood vein pooping on his back couldn't wait any longer as even his throat gulping his saliva was like taking down blade into his stomach, he proceeded to begin the announcement at once.

"Citizen!! I asked for all of you here today to share the good news, the one, and only news. Never before happened in our empire. I, the head priest of the church faction hereby presented to you, the new priestess of our empire!!!"

He raised his voice stated that to all the citizens while the woman in the priestess suit walked behind them to the middle of the emperor and the priest in the suit of the priest, pure white luxurious suit, the edge which was supposed to be gold, she had the authority to change it to purple to be the token of gratitude to someone who opened her eyes.

With her orange hair laying down to her waist decorated with the jewelry embedded in her hair, and with the crown made of gold leaf on her very head, the woman became the first and only priestess in the empire, priestess Irene Natalia.

On one hand, she held the book about the law of the church and the other hand held the emperor's hand as she kneeled on both of his knees giving respect to the emperor, ruler of the empire.

"What?? A priestess and not a saintess???!!!"

"This is ridiculous!!! How can a woman lead the church faction???!!!"

"No way, there's gotta be no way." the noble and citizen started murmuring again creating the loud atmosphere.

Irene paid them no mind then walked up to the altar and then raised her voice, her voice was so high and powerful that it shook the goddess's statue behind her, "Please take care of me from now on. I, Irene promise to be the ideal priestess you all deserve to cherish and help our empire to grow to be even more powerful!!!" she raised the staff the priest gave to her in the air, the citizen started changing their reaction to cheering which gave her a smile, an arrogant smile.

Under the moonlight near the dawn, a woman in the wheelchair came toward Irene who jumped off the altar in an elegant way to hold the wheelchair for the lady sitting on it.

"Let you be the eyes, the witness, bring the news to all the part of our empire. As today, let's witness the miracle in front of you right here, right now." the lady on the wheelchair put her hands together bowing her head to Irene hiding her grinning couldn't resist the urge to stand up.

"May goddess, please listen to your subordinate, please heal your citizen. Please bring back what they deserve." Irene put her hand together praying to goddess Anastasia, minutes later, the white roses started appearing on the statue head like a shine of a miracle forming a crown.

The citizen witnessed the disbelief things happening before their eyes seeing the lady whose legs had been crushed by the chandler to stand up and kneeled down in front of Irene.

"I, Aurora Madeline, the one and only daughter of marquess Brady Madeline. I will use my body and soul to serve, help, and be your right hand, priestess Irene."

The sound of cheering and clapping occurred behind as Aurora finished speaking, priestess Irene stared at Aurora with pure eyes full of love then took out the holy sword underneath the priestess's uniform to put on Aurora's shoulder.

"I look forward to your collaboration, lady Madeline. Stand up. To repay for your legs, Aurora!! As the messenger between god and the world, I order you to take on the mission to defeat the demon at the border of the north. Will you accept it?"

"I gladly accept it, priestess." the emperor and Richard, the father and son duo was filled with excitement seeing the exclusive performance before their very eyes couldn't help but show a grin on their face.

'Let's see how high can you fly, women.' -Richard.

To be continued....!
