Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

"Big sister Noelletta, you don't look so good... You need to get over young lord Moyena..."

Kierul managed to control herself and even made her voice sound as if she was genuinely caring about her cousin.

"...wha...? Ah...! I, I know, but... you would never understand what I am going through...."

The blue-haired girl remembered that she was supposed to play the role of a heartbroken victim and slouched, turning away from her younger cousin all theatrically.

"Oh, I know what will make you feel better~! Here, take a look at this~!"

Kierul put down her teacup for a little bit just so she could take out a white decorative envelope and hand it to Noelletta.

"...?"

That certainly took Noelletta by surprise, the blue-haired girl furrowed her brows in confusion but ended up taking the envelope and turned it around a few times as her younger cousin returned to her tea.

"...isn't that one of...?"

Noelletta's consternation only grew as she looked between the envelope she was given and the drawer of her vanity table.

"Where did you get it from?"

The older girl breaathed out, lowering her hands and staring at the red-haired girl politely sipping her aromatic beverage.

"Hmm~? Oh, don't be like that~! You act as if you were the only one who could buy and use envelopes of that design! I assure you, what matters the most is on the inside~!"

Kierul hummed looking up before gasping and assuring Noelletta, turning the blue-haired girl's confusion into suspicion.

"It's not sealed or anything, go take a look~!"

"..."

The red-haired girl encouraged her older cousin making her face turn serious and taking out the letter...

Noelletta went through a whole bunch of expressions in a very short amount of time.

She went from annoyed, to shocked, to disturbed, to finally settled at being angry.

"What is the meaning of this? What is this bullshit? Who can't live without that cheating bastard?! Why are you showing me someone's suicide note?!"

Noelletta raised her voice, clenching the letter in her hands and about to crumple it, but as she did, the decorative envelope slipped out of her grip and fell to the floor.

And it dropped instead of floating down – the reason for that was revealed when upon contact with the fluffy rug, a delicate golden ring with a small diamond fell out glistening.

"...wha...?!"

Noelletta froze in place, staring at the ring that she used to pay for a bunch of thugs to kill the very girl peacefully drinking tea in front of her.

"Haaa... seriously. Instead of getting angry at the content of the letter, shouldn't you be more bothered that it was written in your handwriting? Are you sure that we are related?"

Kierul breathed out in annoyance causing her older cousin to take a step back and take another look at the letter still in her hand.

"?!?!?"

The blue-haired girl's eyes widened in shock when she realized that Kierul wasn't messing with her – the words of the letter containing somebody's last goodbye were indeed indistinguishable from her own handwriting.

"You little...! Who do you think you are?! Do you believe that someone like you can...?! Eh...?"

Noelletta's face immediately turned red from anger as she shouted at the calm and composed Kierul, just to stop mid-sentence to look around with a bad feeling spreading through her stomach.

"...where is your atten...?"

"Scorpius."

Noelletta's red face turned pale in realization but once again she was interrupted, this time by the voice of the masked attendant coming exactly from behind her back...

*tap*

...a voice that was followed by the light touch brushing against her nape.

"?!?!"

The blue-haired girl immediately jumped to the side, throwing the letter away and reaching to her neck in panic while turning away just to stare at the young attendant who didn't even manage to lower his hand yet.

"What did you do?!"

Noelletta asked furiously as the spot on her body that was touched turned ice cold.

"WHAT DID YOU...?! WHAT DID HE DO?!"

Noelletta began shouting but with absolutely no reaction from the masked attendant she turned to his master while the coldness turned into a stinging pain that began to spread across her whole body.

...it first took over her torso, then caused her limbs to twist and become paralyzed in a strange position...

"Aku? Why, he did nothing at all. You see, just as you stated in the heartfelt, desperation-filled letter, you took your own life with poison after not being able to stand the pain of losing your fiance of five years."

Kierul finished her tea and smirked devilishly from over the empty teacup.

*thump*

As she did, her cousin was no longer able to stand up and fell face first on the floor as her body was convulsing uncontrollably while the poison of the only law that had no other function besides assassination was shutting off her internal organs one after the other.

"I honestly find it funny, you know? Both of us actually thought about killing each other at the same time. Unfortunately for you, I actually have a competent friend on my side."

"~!"

"KHHHHGHHFRRRRHHH...!

The red-haired girl put down the teacup and snickered, motioning at the masked attendant who puffed up his chest proudly while Noelletta was foaming from the mouth as her eyes flashed white.

"Aku's law of Scorpius is on a level where it can kill a five-limbed bear within minutes, so your agony won't take too long, dear big sister."

Kierul stood up and walked over to the convulsing older girl and reached out to her pocket while continuing to stare at her face twisted in agony.

"Conveniently, there actually is a poison pill that works in a close enough way to that star power, and I just so happened to get my hands on it – just for yo...! Aaaaaand she's already dead, isn't she?"

The red-haired girl pulled out a small glass vial with a single green pill and began gushing over it, but stopped and sighed in disappointment when the foam flowing out of the blue-haired girl's mouth turned red and she stopped moving.
