Chapter 12: I Have Two Hands, But I Don't Want to Hold Theirs!
Step One: Accept That My Life is a Mess
Let's recap.
1. I was reborn as Seraphina Evernight, the villainess of a vampire otome game.
2. I somehow got engaged to Damian Blackwood, the final boss.
3. I tried to escape by pretending to date my maid.
4. That backfired. Horribly.
Now?
I was trapped between a smug vampire duke and a way-too-amused maid.
Kill me.
Step Two: Why Is Everyone So Comfortable With This?!
"So," Lila said, sipping tea, "since we're engaged, will I be moving into the Duke's mansion too?"
I choked. "WE?!"
She winked. "You did say we were in love~."
Damian smirked. "I don't mind."
I slammed my head against the table.
"WHY ARE YOU BOTH OKAY WITH THIS?!"
Step Three: Plan My Revenge
Fine. FINE.
If I was going down, I was taking them with me.
I grinned evilly. "Alright, since we're all being so friendly, how about a date?"
Lila blinked. "A date?"
Damian raised an eyebrow. "A date?"
"Yes!" I clasped my hands. "A cute, romantic, chaotic date. I'll show you both why I'm an absolute nightmare."
Step Four: The Chaos Date Begins
The next day, I dragged them both to town.
First stop: The market.
I immediately started bartering with the vendors like my life depended on it.
Merchant: "This necklace is 10 gold coins."
Me: "I'll give you 3."
Merchant: "8."
Me: "4."
Merchant: "6."
Me: "5, and I'll throw in my soul."
Damian: "Seraphina, please."
Lila: "Sell it, she doesn't use it anyway."
BETRAYAL.
Step Five: The Café Disaster
Next, we went to a fancy café.
I was on my best behavior.
…For exactly five minutes.
Then I saw a cake.
A very expensive cake.
I pointed. "I want that one."
Damian nodded. "Then order it."
I grinned. "No need."
Then I stole a slice off another table.
The waiter screamed.
Damian sighed. Lila cheered.
Step Six: Damian Blackwood's Biggest Regret
After a very dramatic getaway, we ended up at a park.
Lila was laughing. Damian was reconsidering his life choices.
I was stuffing my face with stolen cake.
Damian pinched the bridge of his nose. "I can't believe I agreed to this."
Lila patted his shoulder. "Now you understand how I feel every day."
I beamed. "Aww, bonding!"
Step Seven: The Shocking Truth
As we walked home, Damian suddenly spoke.
"…You're different from before."
I blinked. "Huh?"
He turned to me. "The old Seraphina was cold. Ruthless. Cruel."
I tensed.
Oh.
Oh no.
Did he notice?!
He smirked. "But I like this version better."
…
Wait, WHAT?!
Lila wiggled her eyebrows. "Oh my, is the big bad vampire falling for my lady?"
Damian chuckled. "Who knows?"
I screamed internally.
Step Eight: I Am Doomed
I came here to ruin their day.
Why does it feel like I'm the one losing?!
