The S-Class Hunter Doesn't Want To Be A Villainous Princess

Thalia Cyprus was the eldest daughter of the Count of Cyprus. She wasn’t inherently a wicked person.

…or at least, that’s what she thought about herself.

‘I’m just a little mean, that’s all.’

Although people around her didn’t agree much, she didn’t care.

She possessed an adorable and lovely appearance, which she used quite well to her advantage.

With her sharp intellect and the wealth of the Cyprus family, there was nothing she lacked: fame, wealth, lovers, friends, and even parents who cared about her very much!

However, over time, she became increasingly bored.

The mundane social circles, the life that was predetermined for her as if it were drawn, and the pathetic individuals who flattered her.

‘Is my life going to end like this after living such a boring life?’

Then, Thalia discovered something.

Rene Marchius, the famous daughter of the Duke of Marchius.

At the sight of her, the first thought that crossed Thalia’s mind was, ‘She is beautiful.’

Rene was undeniably beautiful, and it seemed like she had everything beyond what Thalia could even fathom. From her seemingly perfect family to her unattainable reputation as the noble daughter of a Duke.

However, what Thalia liked the most was that Rene was famous for being a notorious villainess.

A villainess who casually sends assassins to people she doesn’t like, and without even bothering to hide that fact!

‘I finally met someone who is similar to me!’

Thalia became excited by this realization and was filled with anticipation. She was convinced that Rene would be someone similar to her. So, Thalia believed that Rene would understand her,

‘Rene, please wait for a moment.’

Rene rarely ventured outside their estate, so in order to meet her, Thalia had no choice but to wait for a party to be hosted at the Marchius estate.

After waiting for several months, the grand celebration to commemorate the Grand Duke’s entry into the highest level of sword expert finally took place, and Thalia was finally able to go see Rene.

However, Thalia didn’t approach her hastily from the beginning.

Thalia waited for the moments when Renee was alone. She had the intention of confiding in her, expressing her desire to become close friends. She wanted to express her admiration for Rene and confess that she too wished to have the courage to reveal her true nature, just like Rene.

‘…what is it, Lian? Get out of my way.’

However, the person she had been waiting for was not a villainess.

‘I know that you didn’t send the poisoned tea, Rene.’

Thalia, who had been chasing after Rene, accidentally overheard the conversation between Rene and Lian.

And thus, she learned all the hidden truths.

‘I told you I sent it.’

‘But Rene, you don’t even know about the different types of tea because you don’t have any interest in them. So how could you have known it was my favorite tea and sent a poisoned one?’

‘Because I drank it!’

‘Then what’s the name of that tea?’

Thalia fervently wished for the name of the tea to come from Rene’s mouth.

However, Rene couldn’t answer and only shrugged off Lian’s hand.

‘Rene, I understand that you’re under a lot of pressure right now. The expectations your family has for you-‘

‘Shut up, Lian. What do you know?’

‘Let me help you.’

‘I hate your hypocrisy. Just leave me alone!’

‘Rene….’

Soon, there was the sound of sobbing.

Thalia realized that the sobbing wasn’t coming from Lian but from Rene herself, and she was astonished, covering her mouth in shock.

However, that shock gradually turned into contempt.

She wasn’t a villainess; she was just a weak girl.

She wasn’t someone worth admiring; she was just a prey pretending to be strong.

‘I can’t just stand by and watch that weak thing running around acting as if it’s something it’s not.’

For a while, Thalia couldn’t control her feelings of betrayal.

But then, at some point, she changed her mind. If Rene Marchius wasn’t the villainess, then there must be someone else who could take on that role.

She came to the realization that it didn’t have to be someone else; it could be Thalia Cyprus herself who could take on the role of the villainess.

So she sent assassins to Lian instead of Rene, released monsters along Lian’s path, and sabotaged Lian’s activities.

She then manipulated everything to make it appear as if Rene was responsible for it all.

It wasn’t even that difficult to accomplish.

All she had to do was to attend the Marchius’ party and deliberately provoke Rene’s temper a few times.

Thalia felt satisfied. She enjoyed the feeling of being in control, even if it meant being ruthless.

She took pleasure in the demise of Lian, who always pretended to be nice, and she relished in witnessing the downfall of the weak Rene.

However, she couldn’t find the same level of enjoyment in the current situation.

“I’ve had enough.”

Rene Marchius, whom she once considered weak, became a real villainess, stomping on Thalia’s head with the heel of her shoe!

“If you make a move, you can expect to lose a limb.”

If your curious about my schedule, I’m not really sure, It’s going to be random atm since it kinda took hours for me to MTL the raws from multiple sites (Yes, I’m an MTL translator:)) and cross-compare them and edit and such (Now I understand the pains of the other translators, I feel bad for urging them to update sooner:’)).

Feel free to point out if there’s any error in my writing. That’s all. See ya next time.
