Into my mind

This chapter's song is: Clarity by Zedd ft Foxes!

Sylvia's POV:

It was all a blur. The last thing I remembered was breathing in that weird powder, and then it was lights out. My head was pounding, and my throat was dry. I desperately wanted water. I was too tired to tap into my mind, so I drifted along my sub-consciousness.

I eventually stumbled upon a door. It didn't look like the ones I normally saw in my mind; it was an entirely new door that didn't have the warm feeling that my other doors had. In other words... This door leads to something dark in my mind.

I hesitate to open the door, I mean, isn't it common sense to not open evil feeling doors in your mind? Well, it couldn't hurt to peep in! I turned the handle and opened the door, the hinges creaking and squeaking as it moved. I walked inside, taking in the room I was transported to. It was an enchanting ballroom with lots of people dressed in fancy clothes.

I looked around, and from what it seemed, they can't see or hear me. As I walk around the huge ballroom, my attention is caught by someone making a toast. As I walk to the front, I hold my hand to my mouth to stop me from gasping at the scene.

There was Ace, and not 14-year-old annoying Ace, but a much older looking, cold-faced Ace. And there was a very familiar-looking brunette cowering behind him.

"Sylviana de Crystal Scilla, I have had enough of watching you abuse others simply because of your status! Especially when it comes to commoners, have you no remorse?!" Ace points at a stunning woman. Yep, that woman was none other than me, well, future me.

From behind, I can see Violetta and Monique hiding their faces with their fans as they side behind Game Sylvia.

"What on earth do you mean your highness?" Game-Sylvi asks as she fans herself.

"The nerve you have to act ignorant of your misdeeds is even worse than committing them! Do you deny the fact that you have been bullying different students only because their status is lesser than yours?" Ace questions.

"Whatever are you saying, your highness? Why would I want to be associated with such rabble?"

"You dare use the name rabble?! How on earth can you become the next queen?!" Mason yells in a fury.

I look around for the other targets. Found them. It looks like this isn't the reverse harem ending but rather Prince Royal ending, so no one else is condemning Game-Sylvi.

"I have proof of your crimes! And also a victim here! Come forth Lily, it's okay, I will protect you," Ace says soothingly as he shows Lily. She looks exactly like the game version. Petite, cute, innocent and... flat... Not trying to be mean or anything but she looks like a loli.

"I-it's true! Everything Ace has said is true! Sylvia has been very nasty to me! She ripped up my textbooks, tripped me in the hallways and even ruined my ballgown at the royal debutante! She even dragged me to the side and told me to learn my place... It was Ace who helped me go through it all and even persuaded me to stand up to Sylvia's tyranny!" Lily exclaims as she hides behind Ace again. Ave blocked her and stared at Game-Sylvi with daggers in his eyes.

"My, how scary..."

"She shouldn't become queen..."

"How vile, she hurt an innocent woman..." The murmurs in the audience pissed me off so much that I spat in one guy's drink.

"Sylviana de Crystal Scilla, in light of these crimes, I am annulling our engagement and stripping you of your status as a duke's daughter. You will be sent to a nunnery in Froslia to repent for your sins for the rest of your life!" Ace condemns Game-Sylvi. Now just hold the phone-

Everything stopped. Everyone froze. What the hell...

"That's enough of that isn't it," A voice says. I look and see a woman with the deepest shade of red as her hair and her eyes a captivating green. She was wearing a stunning white gown that accentuated her body and made her look like a goddess.

"Who are-"

"It doesn't matter what my name is, but let me just say that I am the Goddess of Justice and Vengeance," the redheaded beauty says.

"Justice and vengeance?"

"Well, both go hand in hand, don't you think?" Anyways, I'm here to ask you one question: what do you think?"

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"What do you think of this?" She repeats.

"Well, I think it's BS! How the hell is a bit of bullying worthy of being sent to a nunnery!" I fume.

"What would you do if that were you?"

"Well, I'd give him a piece of my mind!" I say resolutely.

"That should be interesting, well then good luck," the goddess says. Then, all of a sudden, time started again. But this time I was being pointed at by Game-Ace, and everyone was staring at me in disgust. It looks like I'm borrowing your body Game-Sylvi. Don't worry; I'll get you some revenge and justice.

"And I am marrying my true love, Lily!" Ace proclaims which is met with lots of applause.

"HOLD UP!" I yell. Everyone turned to me with faces like 'oh, you're still here' and 'get lost already.'

"Ok, you guys have said your piece. Now, if memory serves me, I should defend my case so let me get started," I say with a smile.

"Just what-"

"Shut up your highness; you had your time to speak, so now it's my turn, so listen up! I, Sylviana de Crystal Scilla, do not admit any of these crimes! And as for your accusations, just what proof do you have that it was me that did it?" I ask.

"Every time Lily's things went missing, it was during your free period! You were jealous of Lily's dress, so you spoilt it, and you even called her names! And as for the witness, Lily here is proof enough!" Ace says in a proud voice.

"Ok, so number 1: You have no actual proof that I did it. Yes, her things went missing during my free period, but I was in the library or having tea with my friends. As for proof, well, you could ask anyone where I am every single day between 2 and 3 o'clock. And even it was during my free period, and it was also during 90 other students' free period so you can't say it was me.

Number 2: Why on earth would I be jealous of a commoner's dress? I'm pretty sure my dress was worth 20 gold coins which was the latest and greatest design of the golden thread, which is my aunt's boutique which also supplies the royal family with their clothing. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be jealous of an old dress. Now about the name-calling... I'm pretty sure the words were plebian, and filthy commoner wasn't it?" I look over to Lily for confirmation, and she nodded slowly.

"So you admit to the name-calling?" Mason asks.

"Of course not, the only reason I know about it is because of the ladies of the aristocratic faction were talking about it. And about the tripping, well, you should know for yourself that miss Lily and how she's not exactly the most coordinated person since she always seems to trip and fall whenever she is near me and any other boy, especially the ones who have fiancées," I drop as I look over to Lily who is is furious as I call her out.

"But you are the most influential of all the ladies, why didn't you stop the rumours when you heard them?! That's clearly bullying by association!" Mason says.

"So what? Even if I am the lady with the most influence, why should I be bothered to go out of my way to dispel some rumours that have no business with me? Especially with the ladies of the opposing faction," I shrug.

"But you still could have told them off for it!" Ace tries to make a point.

"But isn't it you who wants to punish me for using my status, your highness?" I ask, pointing out what a hypocrite he is. Game-Ace was flabbergasted at my comeback.

"Now, since you have interrogated me enough, I think it's only fair that you answer a question as well. But first, Ace Von Klioth Hefelia, do you swear upon your name... no, do you swear upon the holy name of Klioth Hefelia that you will tell the truth and nothing but the truth?" I ask.

"W-What's this about?" Ace stutters.

"Isn't it obvious, you have asked me numerous questions, so I want to ask you a question, only, I would like you to answer truthfully so please take this oath to tell nothing but the truth? I'm sure you would take it if you are not guilty," I trap him in a corner with my words. The crowd has its eyes on Ace who of course would have to swear the oath not to tarnish his name.

Ace glared at me and swore the oath. Everyone was waiting eagerly to hear my query.

"Your highness, did you kiss Miss Lily?" I ask. Everyone was taken aback by what I said.

"What on earth are you saying-" Mason starts.

"I'm afraid this has nothing to do with you, Sir Redcliffe so shut up," I stated coldly as I returned to the shaking couple, "please answer me, your highness, did you kiss Miss Lily and therefore cheat on me with another woman?"

Lily gasped at the question and looked fearfully at Ace, hoping he would defend her. However, Ace couldn't do anything except speak the truth...

"... yes..." The crowd gasped at the answer and were sent into a gossiping frenzy.

How could he?

Even if Miss Sylvia was a wicked woman, she didn't cheat on him.

But she isn't a wicked woman, and she just proved that she has nothing to do with those crimes.

So does that mean his highness cheated on his innocent fiancee with someone else?

A commoner at that!

"So, first, your highness escorts someone else to the graduation ball instead of me, your fiancee and then you proceed to accuse me of some petty misdeeds, which by the way had little to do with me, and finally you try to break off the engagement and banish me from the kingdom without even a proper trial, proof... all for this commoner girl whom you've adultered with..." I stockpile the number of things Ace did to me, which made me feel amazing.

"I-I-"

"Hush your highness, I'm not finished. Seeing as your highness has cheated on me and then tried to scheme against me, I no longer wish to be chained to this engagement. However, since it was your highness who cheated on me first even though I've remained so loyal to you all these years... I demand palimony," I state.

"What are you talking about?! You've been so horrible to me miss Sylvia, and now you're trying to extort his highness, just how vicious can you be?!" Lily weeps.

"Me? Vicious? And what about you?" I scoff.

"W-What do you mean?" Lilly stammers.

"Don't think I've forgotten about you, little miss homewrecker. Did you know it's punishable by whipping for a mere commoner to disrespect a noble? And yet I've heard you address me by my nickname which is only allowed to be said by dear friends and family. Now I am certainly not close to you, and yet you have acted like we're best friends. F

rankly, I find that insulting. Also, how dare you call me vicious when you're the little vixen who's seduced my fiancee. Well... Soon-to-be-ex-fiancee. Not only have you seduced him, but I've also been hearing complaints from other ladies that you've been frolicking with their fiancees as well, therefore my warning to you to learn your place and not to act like a filthy prostitute who collects men," I say in disgust.

Lily teared up as she heard my last remark."H-How could you..."

"That's enough Sylvia! If you have a bone to pick with me, then do it with me but leave Lily out of it!" Ace says heroically which made me gag in disgust. These two really deserve each other... So glad my Ace isn't like this.

"Keep out of this your highness, this is lady business. Now, all those who have had their fiancees snatched away by miss Lily, please step forward," I say to the crowd. In less than a second, girls were stepping forward with angry faces toward Lily.

One man stepped forward, I presumed to be because his fiancee stepped forward.

"What are you on about Francesca? Miss Lily has not seduced me!" The man says.

"Stop lying! I always see you look her way every time she walks by. And the way she drops her handkerchief so you can return it to her is so fake, and yet you fall for it every time! Not to mention you always walk towards her when the teachers say to partner up instead of teaming up with me who is your fiancee!" Francesca screams as she pushes her fiancee back.

"Same with you, Alex! You left me at lunchtime just to go and help miss Lily tidy up the classroom! You even gave her chocolate on Valentine's day instead of me! Do you know how embarrassing that was?!" Another lady screamed at her fiancee.

"What do you mean Emma, I did give you chocolates on Valentine's day, and you threw them on the floor," Alex argued back.

"Yes, yes, you did give me... But only because Miss Lily rejected you! And you gave her rejected chocolates to me! Do I look like a trash bin to you?! I don't want her sloppy seconds!"

"And you, Elliot, the way you fought against me and accused me of picking on miss Lily when I asked her to move aside! How could you choose her over me?!" Another girl cried. Pretty soon, all the girls were arguing with their fiancees but it was really the girls screaming at their fiancees until the boys were sulking like babies.

"I-It's not my fault Gloria! It was Lily. She purposely seduced me!" One guy pointed at Lily to place the blame on hee and escape his furious fiancee.

"That's true! It's all that commoner's fault!" Gloria yelled, which caught the attention of all the other girls who were now marching towards Lily while the boys were hiding away from their fiancees.

"You commoner whore! You couldn't stop at prince Ace, but it seems that you won't rest until you seduce every man!" A woman shot at Lily.

"How can someone as filthy as you replace the amazing Miss Sylvia! Ha! You must be dreaming!" Another said.

"N-No, I-It's not my fault..." Lily said, cowering behind Ace and Mason. However, Ace couldn't fight against this many girls, and it seems that Gloria from before was holding Ace down with water ropes which his lightning was defenceless against unless he wants to electrocute himself. Same with Mason whose element was fire.

Warning to those who are really sensitive about gang bullying, this next paragraph is full of that so if you don't want to read it then just skip onto the next paragraph.

One girl grabbed Lily by the hair. Lily screamed as she was hit and scratched by the ladies. Her dress was being ripped to shreds kind of like in that scene of Cinderella, and she had cake and juice poured on her.

She begged the boys to help, but they all cowered against their fiancees. The girl who I think is called Emma held Lily's head in place as another girl wrote slut on her forehead and other nasty words around her body. One lady took it a bit far and burned the ends of Lily's hair off.

"That'll teach you to seduce my fiancee, you harlot!" the lady who burned her hair off said.

"No... Let's make sure she never seduces another man again!" A crazy lady says as she holds a knife. Lily trembled as she saw the knife. The other ladies held her arms and legs down even though she tried to squirm free.

"No! Please! Ace!" Lily begged for help.

"Lily!!!" Ace screamed helplessly as he could only watch as his lover was about to get scarred. Lily's hair was pulled up, and the lady with the knife was about to press the blade against her cheek. Lily shut her eyes, waiting for the pain until...

"That's enough." The darkness was eating the knife as everyone looked back at me. That's right people: I stopped them from scarring Lily. Wanna know why? Well, it's because even though she's a nasty homewrecker... She doesn't really deserve this.

"Why Miss Sylviana? Don't you want to get revenge as well?" The girl asks.

"Even if I do, I always remember that I am the daughter of a noble. I will not stoop so low as what you girls are doing right now. Calm yourselves and remember that you have a reputation to uphold," I scold the girls, who snapped back to reality and let Lily go before flicking their hair and dusting off their dresses.

Lily trembled in a pathetic state: Her face was smeared with cake, and she had wine and juice running down her body and drenching her clothes, which were ripped and stained so much it looked like rags.

Her hair was burned into a bob with a strand still burning (which I put out using my water magic) and her arms and legs had words such as 'harlot, homewrecker, tramp and vixen' written on it. Even 'prostitute' was written on her waist, which was exposed due to the angry girls. The word 'slut' on her forehead stood out the most though.

"I wrote that with permanent ink..." I heard one girl whisper to another in the crowd which was met with snickers from the other ladies.

"T-Thank you..." Lily whispered in a quiet voice. I sigh as I unfasten my cloak and throw it over Lily, covering her. I could hear the displeased mutters of the girls. I looked towards them.

"I hope you're satisfied with your revenge, however... Are you sure Miss Lily is to blame?" I say.

The girls looked at me in confusion, and the men tensed up.

"I mean sure, Lily did have a part to play in seducing them... But isn't it also the men's fault for not being loyal. A loyal fiancee should turn their head at temptations and not give in. However, all your fiancees turned to the next pretty thing they saw.

Not only did they cheat on you all, but they also were cowardly enough to pass the blame onto Lily. Quite cowardly if you ask me." The boys started sweating in fear as their still-angry fiancees looked at them and began to creep closer as the men took a step back.

"S-Selina, we can talk about this..." One guy pleaded to his blonde fiancee, who for some Unknown reason, had a bat in her hand when this was a ball.

"Sure, let's talk," Selina said as she held up the bat.

Soon enough... I was looking at a crowd of about-to-be-dead men and a crowd of about-to-kill-their-fiance-girls. The carnage started as the girls attacked, and the men attempted to flee. I was standing in the middle of the chaos and smiled.

I saw a petite girl bitch-slapping her fiancé, another girl poking her fiancé I'm the eyes and, Selina, who hit her fiancé in his precious manhood with her bat. It's safe to assume that he'll have no kids.

"Sylvia! What have you done?!" Ace says as he looks at me with fear in his eyes. I stroll gracefully to a still-captured Ace and... sucker punch the living daylights out of him.

"That felt good..." I say as I watch as Ace spits out blood and a tooth. Suddenly, the room stopped again, and I hear laughing coming from the throne at the front of the ballroom.

Soon, there was clapping and whistling. "Amazing, that was just amazing!" I see the Goddess applauding me for my performance as she stuffs herself with popcorn and ice cream.

"I have never seen such an interesting human like you before! Well, I have only been a goddess for a few years but still! Fantastic. Bravo! Bravo!"

I smile as I curtsy. "Thank you for watching my performance," I say.

"Splendid! I wish someone else could see this! Haha!" The goddess chuckled as the background melted into nothingness. "As much as I'd love to stick and chat Sylvia, you had better be getting back to your life."

"Hey, wait! I have so many questions!" I argue.

"I'm sure you do and I'll be sure to answer them at another time," the goddess says as she waves her hand and the ground starts cracking.

A few pieces of the floor starts falling down, and I nearly fell too if I hadn't grabbed onto a nearby piece.

"At least tell me your name!" I yell as I hang on for dear life.

"Hmm, sure, you deserve that much at least," the goddess says as she rests her hand on her chin. My fingers start to slip.

"My name?

-It's Rosalia," the goddess says as I let go of the end and fall.

I bet some people are thrilled at the arrival of this new character. Man, this was a loooooong chapter, but I guess Rosalia deserves it. Shout out to @lols_me123 for suggesting me to bring Rosalia into this story and congrats to her for winning the #SC20K contest at number 1!
