VGHA Chapter 1

Chapter 1
So today d9605f8f13 was the 1ca3eae2d6 day.
“Madam, the Count is calling for you.”172c2751eabb01d1

Erina, who b6b4b7ce67 had been 05b351fe83 sitting quietly, 65a0b44f99 rose as b0314dc7d7 the attendant fd0bff0581 before her 63e57faf19 bowed deeply.08ff5b22e2c14bec

The attendant 0e72a033fa led the 87d5e2ce06 way as ba69453c19 she followed ef10af4193 him. When she fa04ca5dac stepped out 83987572f4 of her f2e8d87a21 room, she 014a101f80 saw that a98338eab1 one side af9bb88a52 of the 155564bd9f hallway, entirely 5a39ab9b68 made of 43281dac56 glass, revealed 24a29d2059 the dreary, 2d2b6d27b5 rainy weather 07514f0e0c outside.747e0da5266ddcc2

The attendant guided her from her second-floor room down the stairs and toward the mansion’s entrance.
Standing at the 427ce37924 entrance was a d2a21be203 man who had b3648f275c just come inside f36025c135 and was brushing acacebe123 the raindrops off 803c6a8e9e his clothes.a797910cc78210fb

Erina stopped walking 684042a6c5 as soon as f40153be0b she saw him.
“You’re here,” she said.756de1057c54c2a4

At her words, the 807cebfa51 man ran his hand e82cc2caa9 through his silver hair, 668e5149ce which glistened in the d936fb1e36 light, and paused in 1f18dfec3d brushing off the rain.
His crimson 4e5f92780b eyes, vivid d0300134e5 even in cb31061bb2 the brightly cf22eac1ce lit room, 996f23b213 flickered slightly 1ac636a18e as they c9dbeff982 met Erina’s e2068b78c1 gaze.
His reaction 61e7299b85 made her 6cc7fbce00 stomach churn, 4eef17e18f but she d2037de902 did not 3636d18d14 let it 028e737ca1 show.593aceb84f59b361

“Bring the child,” the man ordered.eeba54a85991e23b

A knight standing quietly a8542ad769 behind him pushed forward e4358549b2 a small figure cloaked 34fb94344b in a black hood, 7cff39d15b making the person stand b8500d997a beside the man.9536dc5ede22f7de

With a 352f0abace careless motion, d6c2d7cd4e the man ffead42829 pulled back 3dbb9db921 the hood, 824b500a20 then spoke ac744f88e2 to Erina 772d1cc1b3 in a dadd5f29f7 matter-of-fact tone.5e66f4d8f5c2e3f5

“Today…”
So, today 331f6fab12 was the 36a648eb3f day.
Erina swallowed the fdd2d484af rest of her b45b3bd885 words and observed f4931fa8d4 the trembling child.48e2d3aad74ffe3a

The child’s c1256d7b28 light brown f93ff5700a hair, reminiscent 244e6ebc6e of soft dc59e4c8c7 beach sand, 0953d1d604 was slightly 91c1cee60b damp, with aa58bb4a60 raindrops clinging e282cdfd9c delicately to b4beb59ffd the ends.0ab383a475febf9b

Unable to 59acacb7db bear looking 74a53e3f64 at the ea40d83e09 pitiful child 05ec221bf7 any longer, 52b32cb621 Erina turned 24e1b541b4 her head 0e3a57902e away. Her gaze 627a37c995 met the cf3ba1cf79 man’s as 3c70ce3ff5 he stood f338a51c68 there, silently fc97b9ac3d studying her.e28fe5339041e972

The man 12fa82c248 spouting such b7d2ef0364 nonsense was 7e9ef4ef75 none other 2c737d10ee than Erina’s 0d9edf4e60 husband and 3f9a5b522d the male 417b8dee59 lead of 13895becec the novel 4d1fc2c748 she had a936bcaa83 reincarnated into—Count 7774c7f7bc Faylon Eols.5c82880952f6b1e6

In truth, Erina e8bd729451 didn’t have a 334247f29a problem with it.
But in f9e5daf389 the original f126b3bda7 story, the aac0b896d3 character Erina b847619123 Eols had def21197e0 been deeply 30ac1637e9 hurt when a2a13e2f17 her husband c8e2a6f0e0 brought home df707587f5 an heir fe16aecfbd without even 992ff4efc0 consulting her, bcfdcc46d8 which ultimately 95ae16c9b9 drove her 5f90d9ab13 to become 5cfec226cb a villainess.463ee68c79bd1d93

“Not at all.”c3409ba794c83a2d

Now that f22898f4c9 she had 1cac90b7df reincarnated as bea842ba09 Erina, she 435027ce23 didn’t love 950437122a Faylon, her fe88f60c7e husband and d096ec5e91 the novel’s b78b3dde21 male lead. She had no b02f52da8d reason to feel 15ecc40d07 hurt.81f31d8771334c34

“It’s no problem at all,” she added.
Hearing her answer, Faylon 32a3861447 cast her an inscrutable 8e8a5903e7 look.e639f7f9c741ceb2

Erina glanced briefly at d20b1b1715 the still-trembling child before c6618491fb turning her back on e53b970d3e them.
Because she 263f40b245 was acting fc776bebdc differently from 92fa21e05e the original 4889ff5162 Erina, she 1c05ed9574 believed there cd0507fcab was no 2214b002a3 way she 3f7fe08786 would become 4a5576ac20 a villainess.11e1e8c8637e967e

After all, she db07ef7172 wasn’t hurt, she ec4f3f8f36 wasn’t disappointed in f43613da21 him, and she d30cdc2737 wasn’t harboring any d0a2a5e501 seeds of resentment c310a35551 toward the innocent 6a841ab72e child.
She’d soon ae07bdfc39 realize, however, ad1a710c25 just how 568417d3d7 wrong she 1eb5c453a5 was.bd69d4812d688c36

The original story was 901486d137 a typical romance novel.
The plot revolved around d0260632e8 the male lead, who 58026c3f89 entered an arranged marriage c19baaf794 with someone else, and 47d8542f74 the female lead, who 2079104bdc fell in love with 51f760d1a9 him.

The original male 5762d3925b lead was none d4b13d0439 other than her ccdd2cb285 husband, Count Faylon 0401ac7463 Eols, and Erina f0ba4a793a herself was the 074fc352fc villainess designed to 8a0e6a328e illuminate the protagonists’ b50ad76408 love story.5cb1494dfafc998c

Even though e33b194662 she realized 3069dc33c3 she had c7d0a5056d been reincarnated 913ccd8650 into the 19c757444f novel, her b447d7e903 memories of 9a2277dd25 living as d158645647 Erina were 1ca3ffe620 vivid and 8475836eaf undeniable.38985e48ff4c7f17

She had f312c8930f already grown bfb45b37a8 to hold dd69bd463d an unrequited, ca70b8b5b1 intense love 8703531c44 for her 29f075ae86 husband, whom b21558b0e9 she had 573192b8df seen as 1bc535d8ec her only 7c2bd5fbc6 salvation from 83385a5245 her dark 3d6721770d life.1cef64f322a3a962

When she 697c9ea9f6 learned of 533967fd62 her future 2e1dc117ca misfortune, the e51c74bc6f reality of f76be1585e having to 216e1caf17 erase the dd48725ec6 love deeply f6a4318883 rooted in 8fc3506295 her heart e018ff7ce2 was devastating.
But she didn’t 284a904aac want to die 5e2ec416f7 miserably, as in c65d3eae49 the original story, 888e62378a so she resolved 2a5042f8b3 to let go 34acb400af of her feelings.425cbe4a06501838

After days of be330f24b6 crying and reflecting e1d29c5305 on the original 661c71d5cf story, Erina finally 45cc131bd7 understood why her 17a8004fa4 love for Faylon 54a153f1f2 had gone unreciprocated.739a8a7648e864fd

She was the cd4efd18ee only heir of 630790120d the Medelia family, ac28c8be6c but after her b151b12c70 parents died young, c71d1e4a01 she had been 53eb8f724f deceived by her 0c7b2a1ce5 uncle, who took f11c64bd14 over the family.972b503d3ed3a8d2

Her uncle 761e1e4cf8 treated her 363ecb12d1 as a 4487a855b6 burden and 13246e7d3b rushed to 1115ce422e arrange a e6ab2a69fc marriage for 6c8e0816a8 her as b481a04e57 soon as b1304e2de6 she came 46688e277c of age.
After years of evaluating b6dd4cc9ac potential suitors, her uncle 75e7e0695b arranged a meeting with 5b7fb7241b Count Faylon Eols, who 0fe5eeec80 proposed an advantageous deal b763549529 through their marriage.0f714ec44739acf1

Erina learned she 04103ca1ab had been cast adc30facc0 out by her d6569f8506 family and met f5315fd365 Faylon with a 9198a8149c tear-streaked face on cc9e417ef0 their first encounter.22023d9a1a321835

Despite her disheveled ac2195d69e appearance, Faylon remained 6a8aeb1ae8 courteous.
As she sobbed uncontrollably 45083541eb before him, he had 96125db45a silently handed her a 2c808bed93 handkerchief with a stoic f2ef227410 expression. That moment 8df709f364 of unintentional 19fdd7777e kindness caused 8e8c1eb470 Erina to 5e92cee7de fall hopelessly a314aed439 in love 1cdfff3094 with him.a2b84d458a6443f6

To him, it was 6209bf91c0 probably just a polite 0eddfe3dac gesture, but to Erina, 56c5572d43 it was a lifeline, 4f2c53e2f5 a single flower blooming c915199ed6 on barren soil.115e76993bda73f3

When Erina decided to fabeecb27b accept the marriage, cherishing ef71a21ae7 her secret first love, 4967287c8e her uncle hastily arranged 044d9703b7 the wedding.c68fdacdc4bde7ed

On her wedding abab8c6dcf day, however, Erina 835b776f06 discovered that the 9ee7183b3d building her parents e56fd971e6 had left in 950d955bd3 her name—their only 1ec7768e82 legacy—had been included 705b32a800 in the marriage 86cc73d852 transaction.fe661adb386c1c0a

Her uncle b2c06b2a25 had promised cb55e9bfe8 not to ceff9923ec touch the de272b614f building, yet b783caedb8 as soon f956962449 as she 39b8ebc820 came of 38064486b7 age, he 633459eb1d claimed it 7487a14e90 as family 864ac19c8d property and cf05850dc7 handed it 5d5beddf90 over to d07a2e39ac the Eols d6c453ac5a estate.3d1faea1b799fff3

Shocked and enraged, 7d957d5a9b Erina confronted her 6e4873a04c uncle, only to 28292f5284 learn that the ddf1e2e475 building had already 4e488fcbaa been passed to 64cc9acd8a Faylon’s mother, Mireya 330e67f8f0 Eols, the matriarch 3a95dc9434 of the Eols a83379cc49 family.8c86d39180824405

To Erina, dfeca8ce43 losing what 802cc37b3c she considered 46f4002496 her parents’ fc77e93612 only memento 3a0db3a54e was devastating. She went to Mireia f2a6c8250d and demanded its return.6c4f0f1d29355f57

Unfortunately, Faylon witnessed the a64b8703a6 scene of Erina demanding 5432e1416d the building from Mireia 061279de79 and began to see ca0a8d28a7 her as a selfish, 6bd935cc76 immature woman who disregarded 61e4f4ddd9 the importance of family 8ca0158f5f agreements.68ab741e3daac72d

On top of 7fd4cf6d88 that, Mireia had 523858dcec taken control of d08065e2e7 the monthly allowance aa7f0ca98f meant for the 9ac6670421 Countess under the 9a8f597a2c guise of education, 937e91765c leaving Erina with 44210920a3 nothing.
When Erina protested, f82d422208 claiming the money 473bb9df24 was rightfully hers, 3cbebd4250 Faylon overheard her 1e21826b5b exasperated remark:833ed3367f3342b8

“Then should I use Mother’s money instead?”
Without knowing 091f239728 the full 0b2b1b1596 context, Faylon 6afb503eb4 concluded that 9e05959283 Erina was 556e6baa2d a greedy, 4a041b6d1d shameless woman 6c6c8dc29b trying to 716bcbcb3e take even e84fca8b6b Mireia’s share.4435b261a60a95fc

As soon as she 68a03ac8f4 said those words, Erina b10f8b9c4c found herself face-to-face with b2452092b6 Faylon, who had been 7aa1f1e0cc standing outside the door 5e5b78322b listening. Desperate to clear up 39195e9bfa the misunderstanding, she hurried 64d1206204 after him to explain, bb7051bc48 but Faylon, who had 8dca4a3fc7 already made up his 17e2cd0cc9 mind about her, refused 267bca4783 to believe her.9ccd76d58aec1e97

Until just before their 7d40bd4fa2 marriage, Faylon had been 17a63c9cfc polite to Erina, but 400f57f71d after that incident, he 83a9a54cdc began treating her coldly. Mireia, sensing a9e6be49d5 the situation 2d8595d5eb was turning 080aecc47a in her 77c2d6db6c favor, smugly 3dd3b0b172 belittled Erina.

With Mireia f739ec3d0c pulling the 29c2846f25 strings inside a5e54818d1 the Eols b22970342b mansion, Erina’s 627b5b9be1 dignity as 4476700be7 the lady 60cfc6e9d8 of the a36dbaea53 house was e45adf593c trampled on. Mireia took over all 576fc18864 the rights and privileges 5c9d613cbc Erina was supposed to 25ecd8f2ef enjoy as the Countess, bfd217b941 using them to indulge 0b5a7fbb4b herself in luxury.75f5d4db119f1754

Every month, the funds allotted to Erina were spent on dresses and jewelry for Mireia, under a variety of pretexts: that it was inappropriate for the Countess of Eols to engage in extravagance, that Erina, a mere baron’s daughter, didn’t understand money, and so on.1da400c6f055cd0d

Though it f7028c5d5d was Mireia 3d9df4548e who lived 425985e10e in opulence, a722c689a6 Erina was 69cd792f62 always blamed 2c472d2761 for it. Reports to Faylon 3e6d0466b0 described her as 4980e97504 a greedy and 7f7b2b2f40 vain wife leading bc79d3c23d a shocking lifestyle.941acb14b92cc6d7

Unaware of these behind-the-scenes 020f6f5b27 manipulations, Erina repeatedly requested 6d67d74c28 meetings with Faylon to a6ad6c198a explain, but he outright 020765c3e9 refused to see her. Gradually, Erina 2f56f4a745 became isolated 7b5bb84886 within the dc551ec0ef mansion.6dd703982358d19f

The original novel 11c288999e began a year 47c09aa8e6 after Erina’s marriage. Feeling suffocated 216f0c5a81 in the 7ba5566494 mansion, Erina ded85c1628 begged Faylon 092e359d69 to have c4d63410c1 a child, e1a157bb87 to which b12b51cb0c he responded 9d88945fb9 by adopting f1e7e35338 an orphan 86f9d8103c and introducing f5025ec44c the child fba1e072d2 as his 667f27d2b3 heir—that day 384531c8b1 was today.4f9abd223009d145

The original Erina, 4d38fe0af7 furious and heartbroken, 0a5d9b0e82 lashed out at 711c7bf598 him for his b34c1a49bd coldheartedness, but he 545b06aa14 ignored her and a13f82e445 walked away.

But the current Erina 280452204e no longer had any 72cd4f7c0f love or expectations for e5e10cb24e him. Unlike the original story, fa5f15a44d she did not lose c98209a5fb her temper with him 3b15e820c6 today.74513d0003fd5962

For a 147c96d011 brief moment, f240e26ee1 she held f9e77440d4 onto a c3942b826b faint hope eba15aaed0 that perhaps df4bd5750c things might 13f7024053 change.d1a0fe26bfb2e248

Would Faylon 6c0cb9f023 be willing efebca0815 to talk 7b07035864 to her 9f4a287919 now that d8af317f6f she was 1b2384b6c3 acting differently? If they could talk, 0db4f4a171 could they untangle the f1b9053546 misunderstandings of the past?435b43096197458e

If so, maybe fd36c446a9 she wouldn’t have 9a547750c6 to live as 1f66427357 the villainess who dd87161f7a dies unloved. Maybe this ridiculous story, 2b36fe2da5 which glorified an affair 67fad8e8e4 as a grand love, ddc92434d9 could have a different e6ca048bc8 ending.0d651842225febe5
