I suddenly became the villain and I liked it

We get off the carriage and there were a group of people waiting for us. Just judging from their clothes and age, they are probably the staff of the school.

“Welcome to the school, Miss Eterna.”

They did introduce themselves but I did not bother to remember them but there was a teacher who still has not arrived so they were missing one. Maybe I will take some effort if they prove to be interesting enough. I follow the one who called herself principal. She has a similar vibe to our head maid. I would play with her if she was a little younger. My maid and I were then brought inside her office.

“Have the arrangements been made?”

“Yes Miss. We have enrolled Sylvia Eterna.”

My maid shivers as her new name is mentioned. How cute, maybe I should call her that later.

“And what about the other issue?”

“The miss has been exempted from all classes that is involved with magic.”

“No.”

“What do you mean, miss?”

“I wish to be exempted on all classes.”

The principal’s eyes widen and she stares with her mouth agape to me.

“Is there a problem?”

“Why enroll if you will not participate, miss?”

“It is not that I will not participate. I demand to be exempted from being graded.”

“Graded?”

“Yes. You should be grateful that I am even willing to put some effort to attend classes.”

“But miss that does not seem fair.”

“So? Who owns the school again?”

She frowns as I ask.

“Duke Eterna.”

“Exactly. Now, do you wish for this to be discussed with my father?”

My family owns the school. Just another way for the villain to be able to keep being the villain. The rights were sold by the royal family a long time ago and my father was the one who swept in to buy it. The principal stands up and kneels beside me.

“I beg of you miss. Please let the school keep some face.”

How interesting. I would not believe that someone would be willing to kneel for such a thing. I extend my foot to her chin and raise it to look at me.

“You do understand that if I agree to this, I will take control of you. That means that you must choose me over my own father if I wish.”

A shocked expression appears on her face and it takes her a few minutes to decide.

“I understand miss. I agree.”

Oh my. She agreed, how interesting. How about a test then.

“Then, kiss my foot.”

Another shocked expression. Now, what will you do? You might be a little old but I may be inclined to play with you every now and then. She takes my foot and kisses it.

“I agree, mistress.”

Oh my, a change of address too?

“I shall be honest. I did not care for your name earlier. So, please repeat it for me.”

“My name is Emilia, mistress. I had a last name but I decided to discard it to be the principal of the school.”

“Then I have no need for your last name Emilia. For it is you alone that is mine. You may go back to your seat.”

Emilia stands up and sits down.

“Then to save you and the school some face. I shall also be attending the exams. However, all my grades will be the same as my maid. Is that understood?”

I can see her sigh. If she dares to complain, there will be punishment.

“I understand, mistress. I thank you for your generosity.”

“Good! Now, please show us to our rooms. And I would like for you to do so Emilia.”

“I understand, mistress.”

Emilia leads my maid and I to an extravagant room. I remember typical dorms from my other life and this is nothing like those.

“This is an executive dorm room just for you mistress. The school has prepared it for your arrival. There are no other students near but it is a little bit farther than the other student’s dormitory.”

“I am pleased. How many rooms are available?”

“There are currently 5 rooms that are fully furnished but more can be added if the mistress desires. Duke Eterna was gracious enough to provide extra funding for your abode.”

“And I have the authority to move any student here?”

“Yes, mistress. If they consent of course.”

“And if I force you to?”

“It is one of the things that I will not budge on, mistress. Please be prepared to lose me if you do such a thing.”

I smile at her. How commendable. I do like this principal.

“I understand. Be grateful of my generosity.

“Thank you, mistress.”

“Then, before you leave, I have one last test for you.”

She stands and waits for me. I approach near her and I slap her with all my strength.

“Tell me, did that hurt?”

“No, mistress.”

“Do you understand what that means?”

“I understand, mistress.”

“Good, do make sure to make the school a safe environment for me. You may leave.”

The principal bows to me and leaves.

“Do you have anything to ask, my maid?”

I have been ignoring her the whole time but it seems that she is hesitating about something.

“Are we sure we can trust her, mistress? She is in contact with your father.”

“It matters not. Whatever she knows, father already does. If she chooses him over me, nothing will change. But I at least have another piece in my disposal.”

“Understood, mistress.”

“Now, let us pick our rooms!”

School would start in a few days. I did not really bother to contact anyone. And so, I spent my time leisurely waiting for the first day of school to arrive.

“You look beautiful, mistress.”

The clothes were simple. A white blouse, a ribbon, and a black skirt. My ribbons color is blue which shows what grade you are. We can also choose the length of the skirt. My maid and I have long skirts that cover everything below our waist.

“Good. Let us go, my maid.”

Now, the main story begins.
