Chapter 1 - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Three years old.

Too young to understand reality.

Yet, at three years old, I suddenly realized it. Without any warning. I was just shaking a toy, but...

undefinedNo way...!undefined

Some memories swirled chaotically in my head.

They were none other than memories of my past life. Because of those memories, I began to see my current reality differently than before.

For instance, the fact that this world I was born into is actually a novel, and that I am the younger sister of a villain who will one day be executed by the male leadundefineds hand!

undefinedItundefineds a lie...undefined

Thud. The snake-shaped toy in my hand fell to the floor.

At the sound, my villainous brother, who had been sitting next to me reading a book, turned to look at me. His ruby-red eyes, with their inorganic gleam, indifferently scanned me.

"Whatundefineds wrong?"

"......"

What could a three-year-old possibly answer? I merely hid my eerie feeling and smiled brightly.

My villainous brother, Adrian Hyll, snorted in disbelief and used magic to lift the toy snake without even moving a finger.

An ordinary three-year-old might have said "Wow!" in admiration, but with my past lifeundefineds ego awakened, it was hard for me to be freely amazed.

undefinedTo use gravity distortion magic so easily... Heundefineds only seven.undefined

As expected of the original workundefineds ultimate villain, his terrifying talent was undeniable.

I took the toy snake floating in the air with trembling hands. This villainous brother, four years older than me, will later succeed our father as the youngest Magic Tower Lord.

And due to his crooked nature, he will wreak all sorts of havoc on the world... only to be executed by the male lead!

undefinedAnd Iundefinedll die along with him as a bonus.undefined

Is that for real...? I sighed deeply, lifelessly shaking the toy snake. I thought Iundefinedd been reincarnated with a silver spoon, but it turned out to be a gilded spoon.

If things go according to the original story, a dead end is confirmed. Poor me will inevitably die by association because of my heartless, tearless villainous brother.

So, what must I do to survive?

Like the heroines of the many romance fantasy novels I read in my past life, should I tame the villain to survive?

That insane genius villainous brother, who is fluently reading magical tomes that even elderly scholars struggle with?

undefinedThat bastard... by me...?undefined

Iundefinedm three years old...

"......"

"Why are you staring like that? Are you hungry?"

His voice had no inflection. His face was expressionless, his red eyes cold. He must surely be the cold-blooded psychopathic villain from the original story. How am I supposed to tame such a guy?

undefinedDamn it, forget it.undefined

Letundefineds just die quickly. Wishing for my villainous brother to kill me soon, I threw the toy at his face.

The long toy snake hit the villainous brotherundefineds face squarely. Having suffered such humiliation, he will surely kill me now.

Yes, kill me quickly. Resigned, I waited for an attack magic spell to fly toward me. Preferably, kill me quickly and cleanly without pain. He would at least show that much mercy to his younger sibling, right?

"......"

But no matter how long I waited, no attack magic came.

undefinedWhat...?undefined

I cautiously opened my tightly shut eyes and timidly examined my villainous brother. He stared at me with thoughtful eyes, then said something completely unexpected.

"Do you want to learn gravity distortion magic too?"

Huh?

No, I just boldly threw a toy at your face.

"As expected of my sibling... You have the talent of a genius too."

"......"

What kind of delusion is he having?

The villainous brother sat me on his knee and opened a slightly easier gravity magic book than the one he had been reading. Then he urged me to read the tiny letters.

"If youundefinedre a genius, this shouldnundefinedt be difficult, right?"

undefinedThis crazy bastard... How old do you think I am?undefined

It seemed this guy had definitely lived without inputting the information that I was three years old into his brain. Flabbergasted, I stammered, my mouth opening and closing, before dropping my gaze to the book.

I didnundefinedt know if I could read such a difficult magical tome, but it seemed I needed to pass this test to find a way to get closer to my villainous brother.

With my tiny, fern-like hand, I touched the first page and began to read in my clumsy pronunciation.

"To implemwent gwavity distowtion magic, the fiwst thing in mana opewation is..."

undefinedTo implement gravity distortion magic, the first thing in mana operation is...undefined

Amazingly, the words flowed smoothly. Oh my god, was I a genius? Or was it a possession buff? Or perhaps it was thanks to my past life ego that had just awakened.

The problem was whether my brother could tell that I was reading correctly.

It was an astonishing feat for a three-year-old to read aloud like this, but the imperfect pronunciation was unavoidable.

And sadly, my somewhat unhinged villainous brother seemed to live without inputting such common sense into his brain.

Would he even understand that my pronunciation was like this because I was three?

"You..."

The villainous brother, Adrian Hyll, stared at me with strange eyes, then spoke in a slightly surprised voice.

"Youundefinedre a genius."

"......"

Rather than understanding that my pronunciation was clumsy because I was three, it seemed he had understood everything I said perfectly.

Thus, I passed Adrianundefineds first test. Whether that was fortunate or unfortunate. Adrian seemed quite pleased with the fact that I was a genius like him.

Originally, he wasnundefinedt like this, but after the undefinedIncident of the Three-Year-Old Reading a Magical Tome,undefined he took me everywhere with him and showed me the world.

Furthermore, he even told our father that he would personally take charge of my magic education. Right then and there, I desperately sent my father a signal with my eyes. Father, no! Donundefinedt leave me with that crazy guy!

"It seems Roznia desperately wants you to teach her too."

What? No!

What a foolish father! He canundefinedt even read his daughterundefineds eyes!

"Probably so, Roz likes me."

No, since when...?! Thereundefineds a limit to delusions!

"Iundefinedm glad you two get along so well. Then I entrust Rozundefineds education to you, Adrian."

Oh, no...! Thatundefineds not it! What I want is not my villainous brotherundefineds teachings!

I quickly ran to my fatherundefineds side, grabbed the hem of his pants, and pleaded.

"I donundefinedt want to!"

"Huh? You want to learn quickly?"

No, I said I donundefinedt want to! Anyone listening would hear undefinedI donundefinedt want to!undefined

"Rozniaundefineds eagerness to learn is remarkable. Go ahead and teach her, Adrian."

"Yes, Father."

undefinedThis is insane...!undefined

Adrian approached and lifted me up in one swift motion. Clutching his collar, I could only curse inwardly.

undefinedThis damned villainous son... How hard mode is he trying to make my life?undefined

Just you wait. Now that itundefineds come to this, I will definitely tame this bastard and make him my footstool!
