Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

Chapter 213 Their first meeting

Saisha Ellsworth, the princess of Elfring, the kingdom of elves. The next ruler of the great forest, nature's daughter, Gaia's chosen - a person born in such a good family and conditions that half the Arcadia would envy her. She's been the pride of her entire race from the day she was born.

They say that when she was born the whole great forest had received the blessing of the World Tree. The dried up trees came to life again, the flowers started to bloom and even the withered leaves and worthless grass had turned into spiritual herbs that blessed the kingdom.

The day she awakened 10 years ago, the primordial goddess of nature Gaia herself had come to give her the blessing and choose her as an avatar of hers.

Over the years, the love, respect and the care she received in her kingdom had only increased, and never had she felt so lost as she's been feeling these past few days.

All her life whatever she needed, whatever she wanted -all of it would be presented in front of her without a question. Yet in the past few days, none of them could answer her questions or clear her restless mind.

Who was he? Why was he looking at her like that? Why did he gave her that familiar feeling if they never met, and if they had met before then why couldn't she just remember anything - the questions had been eating at her mind, making her restless ever since that incident in the library.

She tried to forget about it, calling it nonsense and ignoring everything. Telling herself that he must've mistaken her for someone else and that they didn't know each other - yet every time she closed her eyes the sad look of that white haired boy would come to haunt her.

The nature and peaceful environment that used to give her calmness weren't working anymore, as if all her blessings and skills had lost their effects when it came to that boy.

She had investigated him, his entire life and whole family - yet she didn't find anything that could connect her with him.

She even thought that this was some new trick of making her curious about him and then impress her - yet she herself didn't believe that bullshit. Even her roommate in the dorms was nothing but praise for that boy, and all she heard were good things about him.

Finally thinking that she couldn't ignore those feelings until she got her answers, she decided to come and meet him. To ask him face to face about who he was or who he thought she was.

'Maybe after that, all this restlessness would be over. And I can focus on my training again. Rio Blake - who are you?' Saisha thought, as she moved towards the dorm building.

Yet when she was about to enter the dorms she saw a scene that made her halt in her steps and stop.

She saw the boy she was planning to meet talking and chatting happily with another girl. This was the second time she had seen him, and unlike her who seemed restless over that incident, he seemed perfectly normal.

'Was it just my misunderstanding and he really mistook me for someone else.' Saisha thought. 'After all, knowing what happened to him it's normal for him to be a little out of touch with reality.' She thought as she remembered about the reports she received about him being trapped and declared dead in a dungeon. A trace of pity and sympathy waved over her face, but after realizing it, she shook her head again and said -'But shouldn't he at least come and say sorry if he caused that much of a drama through his own mistake last time. Jaesin is still absent from the classes, and he, who is responsible for it, is just acting like nothing happened.'

Saisha watched as the girl with a cold look and detached expression said goodbye to him and left. She wanted to move forward and go and talk with him, when she just saw him staring at that girl's back.

Saisha frowned at him and just kept staring at him coldly. Until he finally turned back to face her, and bumped into her.

"Ouch"

She said as he held her shoulders and nearly pushed her back too. She wanted to shout at him, yet feeling the heat from the touch of his hands and looking at his face, she couldn't find the words, and kept staring at him.

Rio, who was cursing his system, and was lost in thoughts about what to do with Katherine, didn't expect to see Saisha there. It took a moment, but he pulled his hands away from her and backed away.

'What is she doing here, doesn't she have a class by now?' Rio thought. He had inquired about the schedule of class A-1, which wasn't hard at all. And according to that, all of the students were still supposed to be in the class of another professor.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault." He said and turned around to leave. He wanted to avoid seeing her, lest it bring all his bad memories and stupid nightmares to him again. Even if it didn't, he didn't want to see her until he had some control over himself.

"Stop" He had just taken one step when Saisha's voice came from behind him. Knowing there was no other choice he turned back again, but avoided looking at her. "Yes," He said.

"What were you talking about with that girl?" Saisha asked, looking closely at Rio's reaction which became surprised and confused.

"What?" He asked subconsciously.

Saisha too came out of her thoughts and asked again, "I meant about that day in the library, what girl were you talking about? You called me something else right, Shw_"

"I just mistook you for someone else. As you looked a little similar to someone I knew back in the past." Rio said, interrupting her and finishing the topic, once and for all. "I just lost my edge over that, since it's been a long time since I saw her."

"So it was just a mistake." Saisha muttered slowly, her face showing a relaxed look, like she finally got the answer she was looking for. But then a curiosity started to rise about the girl who looked like her so she asked "Can you tell me about her? Who was she?"

"That's personal, and not necessary. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Rio looked at her curious face and replied immediately.

"My guard, Jaesin, he's still in the infirmary. Due to what happened that day, you should go and meet him too at least." Saisha said as she saw he was about to leave again.

"I think he'd prefer to be away from me for now. But don't worry, he'll be fine in a few more days." Rio said and entered the dorms without looking back, leaving behind Saisha, who was about to ask something else.

'What's the rush for running away, like you just need to avoid me. Seriously' she thought and walked on the opposite end towards the girls dorm building.

Rio, who started walking towards his room, unmuted the system, hoping to confirm something. But before he could ask his doubts, system spoke up.

[You're really dumb when it comes to girls aren't you? How in the hell did you manage to fool her to fall for you last time.]

Hearing that remark a black line formed over his forehead and he just decided to mute the system again. This time permanently.

[Ohh wait, wait, wait]

[It was my fault.] System said in a hurry as it saw Rio trying to mute it again.

(did I say that out loud?) System thought as it realized, it spoke up its thoughts without filtering them. Because he suddenly unmuted it and the system didn't notice. Cause it was busy thinking about the drama.

[You were going to ask something right, why don't you ask and I'll answer. There's no need to mute me over a mishap right.] System said in its pleading mechanical tone, with few sad looking weird emojis floating on his screen.

'Dumb AI' Rio cursed and ignored it.

"Did you notice?" He asked seriously.

Seeing him being serious, system too removed everything and acted serious and read his mind to see what he was talking about.

"She's different." Rio said, as he saw that system didn't answer yet.

[Yes. A little maybe.] System said, nodding its head.

"Do you think it's because of their two different personalities? Both of these girls had the opposite kinds of habits and way of thinking." Rio said, remembering the short exchange of words he had with Saisha.

Saisha's way of speaking, her questions and thinking, nothing seemed to be similar to the Shweta he knew. If anything, these were the traits of Saisha, the character written in the novel.

The girl who got too curious about the mysterious boy, wants to hang out with him, learn everything about him, pester him for awhile and in the end fall for him - this was the stupid routine written by the author, designed to happen between the protagonist Leon and Saisha.

And the current Saisha seemed way too similar to someone who'd follow this routine.

If it was Shweta, she'd completely ignore this kind of thing and forget about it. She didn't care about some stupid boy's mistake to let it haunt her mind.

[Maybe it's like you said, Shweta and Saisha are two very different personalities, so something like this could happen, but that's only possible if they merged two different souls and memories like you did with the original Rio's.]

[Saisha was born here, and she doesn't have any memories of you. So maybe you're overthinking it.]

'I hope so.' Rio said and closed his eyes to calm down his thoughts..

"I really want to beat someone, so I can vent my stress." He said, as these past few days had been getting him a headache, because of all these girls that are popping up from his past.

-Ding-. Rio, who was about to sleep to relax his mind, opened his eyes as he received a message on his private phone.

-New message -

-Boss, there's a problem with the plan. Call me, when you're free.--

Rio read the message and a smile came to his face reading that,he typed a reply and closed his eyes to sleep with that smile still on his face.

"I'll meet you tomorrow. And handle it myself."

(Who's so unlucky this time.) System thought, while praying for the soul of the stupid character who'll become it's hosts venting point this time.
