Opportunities

"Yuna, I am sorry that you had to find out like this…" A brown haired boy spoke embarrassed, covered by thick blankets.

"Fufu… honey~" A dazzling purple haired beauty gave a long and taunting kiss to the man, also lying in the same bed.

"Don't mind her… you have me~"

"How-how could you…?" From the other side of the room, a girl with golden eyes, fair skin and orange hair, stood in shock and despair.

'Why is he doing this?! Am I not enough? I loved him for more than five years and I have always listened to him!'

"Don't take it personally, but I got bored." The boy yawned.

"Shut the door on your way out, I will report you for entering the male dormitories if you come back."

"YOU BASTARD!" Like a rushing bull, the girl stormed out of the room and dashed through the corridors, going wherever the lanes could take her. If destiny would have it, perhaps she would find a place to find comfort.

"Let's continue from where we left off~ that little girl won't be bothering us anytime soon…"

The two immediately went back to indulging in whatever they were doing before Yuna interrupted.

In times like this, Yuna, a daughter of a viscount, could only weep to herself and try to keep it in. The boy she had just been abandoned and betrayed by was in fact an earl's heir. After cultivating a relationship over five years, her family had begun preparing for the inevitable prospect of marriage; and yet, such a thing had happened.

Five years of her life flashed before her eyes as she continued running and running. She was indeed in love with the man, but he did not see her the same way she saw him. The only thing she did not give him, out of all the precious things she possessed was her virginity. She insisted on waiting until a proper marriage. The boy was disappointed, but did not dare show it.

Now, she was left with no man. How would she explain this to her family? How would she explain that she had just wasted five years of her life in a relationship with a man that did not even love her back?

'This is a tragedy!' Her eyes became red, filling up with tears.

She continued running, nothing could stop her.

Until it did.

"Hey there~" A muscular and bald male student greeted while leaning on one side of the corridor.

"This is the female dorms, you shouldn't be here." Yuna replied, not daring to criticise herself for being hypocritical.

"Then why don't you come back with me to the male dorms? I am sure you wouldn't mind, you always like to hang around there, no?" The bald guy came closer and used his imposing physique to corner her.

Cornered against a wall, Yuna could only look up to see the face of her aggressor.

"Could it be that your man just dumped you? No wonder you look so sad… why don't I help you with that, replace pain with pleasure… what do you say?" He threaded Yuna's hair around his fingers, licking his lips like a carnivore.

"Please stop…!"

"Oh? For an easy one, you seem to be hard to crack."

The male student gave a serious look, unflinching at her protest. From above like a giant, he imposed his own rule of law; the law of the jungle.

"Hi there, perhaps are you blind to the sign saying 'Female Dormitory'?" A pleasant feminine voice echoed through the corridors.

"Who are you? You sound hot…" The male student snickered.

"My my… are you perhaps trying to violate school rules in the middle of the halls?" Tanya gave a vicious smile as she strolled towards the two with her uniform cleanly kept.

"Villainess!" Yuna uttered without the slightest bit of discretion.

"How rude." Tanya pouted.

Although the majority of freshman students revered Tanya or were enamoured by her, there were still a few that listened to the bad rumours and viewed her as the stereotypical evil villainess. Yuna was one of these few.

As a student that was absent from etiquette class because of her boyfriend, she did not really get to admire Tanya. Aside from that class, she did not even share any lessons with the latter. So of course she did not have too much information on Tanya.

"Tan-Tanya… Verm-illion!" The aggressor fell to his knees upon recognising her. He already knew what happened to the student council president and his cousin. Lest the aggressor wants to die, he should not dare to cause trouble in front of Tanya Vermillion.

"Go away before I snap your neck."

"EEEECK!!!" The male student ran away.

TAP TAP TAP

Tanya's shoes clicked on the ground as she neared Yuna.

"Hi there, may I know your name?" Tanya asked with a warm smile.

"I am Yuna Thomas, daughter of viscount Roan Thomas." She quickly bowed her hand anxiously.

"I see that you were perhaps cheated on?" Tanya continued smiling, whispering close into Yuna's ear.

"How-"

"Shhh…" Tanya placed her finger on the girl's lips.

Tanya did not seem to be as playful and flirty as she usually had been for the past week. This time, she looked at the distraught girl with eyes that marked opportunity. Tanya had indeed been affected by Penelope's words. How could she betray her precious maid by needlessly going after random girls day and night. There was a limit to Tanya's shameless flirting.

This time, Tanya would not seduce.

"What if I told you that I could show you a way to make him suffer and wish he never humiliated you like that?" Tanya's eyes glowed a vibrant colour and flashed before Yuna's face.

"If you desire this, all you need to do is pledge that you will serve me alone. With this pledge, not only will you guarantee yourself a bright future, but you will also guarantee the cheater's despair~" Tanya offered her hand.

"You are a villainess…" Yuna remarked.

"Pledge now and your sadness will subside. My words hold truth."

A villainess or a saint? Yuna could not tell. All of this was so sudden, she wanted time to think, but she knew that opportunities come and go.

"Then I, Yuna Thomas, pledge myself as Tanya Vermillion's subordinate."

"You will not regret this."
