I'll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History: The More of a Villainess I Become, the More the Prince will Dote on Me (2024) s01e09 Episode Script

1
Stop.
That's a bit much.
I don't remember ever
once asking you
to keep watch over me!
Don't force your will onto me!
[whimpers]
[bell tolling]
[whimpering]
Class is starting.
What's the plan?
I shouldn't.
[ALICIA]
It would be a shame to skip it.
[door opens]
I'm back.
Let's get started.
You're in our class?
What the hell
are you doing here, huh?
♪
[ALICIA]
I've officially transferred
to this class as of today.
I found the classes
in the lower grades
entirely too easy for me.
I was bored out of my mind.
I'm hoping the higher grades
are good for something.
[ALICIA]
All lies.
I studied my butt off
to catch up to all of them.
How arrogant of her.
Such a condescending tone, too.
Could you please stop?
[LIZ] Yes, her phrasing
may have been a bit harsh
but come on, it's not right
to ostracize her.
♪
Alicia, dear, I'm so happy
we get to be classmates.
♪
Ah?

[indistinct chatter]
[gasps]
[LIZ]
Alicia!
Hey, there, do you
want to sit together?
[sighs]
[ALICIA]
No, thank you.
I thought I made it clear
that I have no intention
of becoming your friend.
Listen, I'd just like
to get to know you better.
How dense are you?
It's fine.
I've almost always gotten
whatever I wanted, you know,
and making friends is so easy
for me I convinced myself
you would change your mind.
[LIZ] But then I thought
about what you said,
and I realized
I need to be more mindful.
I shouldn't assume everyone
will like me and really,
it's quite rude,
if you think about it.
I get that now.
And that's why I really want
to start our friendship over.
What would that look like?
Must it always come back
to being friends.
-I mean
-[LIZ] It's not about
whether I "should"
be your friend or not, Alicia,
it's more than that.
I want to get
to know more about you.
[ALICIA]
She sounds like she means it.
What a basic heroine.
So predictable.
♪
Everyone loves people like her.
She's truly a perfect
match for a prince.
[sighs]
[LIZ]
Alicia, dear?
I'll have to pass
on lunch today.
I'm not in the mood.
[footfall]
♪
[birds chirping]
[ALICIA] It's absurd to compare
myself to the heroine.
I'm the villainess here!
[sighs]
Guess it's true that even you
can't get your way
all the time, huh?
I've been thinking
maybe Prince Duke
is special to me.
You think?
Yeah, but I can't
seem to behave
like a proper
villainess around him.
[GILL]
Hm.
Maybe you should take
a short break from him.
Hmm.
Clear your head.
Then you might figure out
how you actually feel about him
and just what he means to you.
I could never do that!
I refuse to run away
like a coward.
What kind of villainess would?
Oh, I see.
[ALICIA]
Yes, that's right.
Running away's not an option.
I'm already losing some
of my villainess edge as it is!
Do you feel better?
I don't know, not yet.
But for the sake of being
true to myself I'll go.
[indistinct chatter]
[cutlery clanking]
That was quite good, thanks.
Huh?
-[sighs]
-[ALBERT] What's wrong?
Mm?
[LIZ]
What's she doing here?
[footfall]
[scoffs]
You don't look as if you
have a care in the world.
I came here expecting
to find you sulking
and down in the dumps.
Sorry to disappoint you then.
Is that all you wanted?
It's not.
I need to say that though
I never asked for your help,
I do appreciate it regardless.
Huh?
♪
I'm grateful
you worried about me.
That makes me happy.
♪
[ALICIA]
I apologize for lashing out
at you in frustration.
Please forgive me.
[all gasping]
♪
Oh, and
if you feel you must
watch over me, just tell me.
[clearing throat]
[ALICIA]
Keeping mum and thinking
someone'll read your mind
is preposterous.
Let me be clear.
I'll always be honest with you.
You should know, I would never
just watch someone from afar.
I'd protect them out
in the open for all to see.
[both gasping]
[ALICIA] I'm not a heroine
I'm a villainess.
[ALICIA] And anyone
who underestimates me
will quickly come to regret it.
♪
[laughing]
[sighs]
Very well.
I won't hold anything
back anymore.
Be prepared.
[smirks]
[sighs]
♪
Hmm.
[chuckles]
Excuse me?
Quick question about
the music festival.
The student council
can't get anything approved
without your input, you know.
I hoped we could
talk about it together?
Wait a sec, have you really
been skipping the meetings?
So, he was sulking,
in his own way.
[chuckles]
Sorry, Alicia, let's chat soon.
[footfall]
[sighing]
Huh?
Uh
Alicia, dear,
see you later, okay?
[footfall]
Sure, that's fine.
♪
[ALICIA] She sees me
as a real rival now!
[ALICIA [ANGEL]]
Guess this means
hard work actually
does pay off!
Couldn't help but be upset
with the game
for making the villainess
five years younger
than the heroine,
but we did it!
My butt!
It's too soon to celebrate!
We may be on her radar now
but only as a romantic rival.
[TOGETHER]
That's a good point!
[ALICIA]
That's right.
I'm aiming to be the greatest
villainess of all time,
one who can truly
measure up to the heroine.
She has to start seeing me
as a real threat.
I want to be a villainess
who goes down in history!
[Alicia chuckles]
[MARIKA]
Um, pardon me, Miss Alicia.
May I ask you for a favor?
Regarding?
We've never even met.
What's your name?
Oh, um,
I need you to come with me.
What for?
[MARIKA]
It won't take long!
[TOGETHER]
Hm?
Don't make me beg, trust me.
If you can't give me
a straight answer,
I'm forced to refuse.
[ALICIA]
Do you think I'm stupid enough
to follow a stranger without
being told why?
What?
Please do forgive me!
[sighs]
Sorry, my next class
is about to start.
I don't have time right now.
Wait, but I
Miss Alicia, please!
[thudding]
-[GILL] Oh?
-I'm so sorry.
I mean it!
[fingers snapping]
[gasps]
You should always treat books
with respect and care.
Now, good day to you.
[GILL]
Hm.
[footfall]
What was up with her?
I don't know.
That was good enough
for now, right?
[clicking]
♪
[Mel chuckles]
[MARIKA] Can't you give me
some love and attention?
-[MARIKA] For once?
-[JANE] No way!
[MEL]
Yeah, right! Just kidding!
No way, no how!
Not a chance!
[birds chirping]
[indistinct chatter]
Uh?
-Alicia?
-[gasping]
[footfall]
[ALICIA]
Ah, hello, Albert.
You'd think
you'd look more excited
to see your
baby sister show up.
What do you want now?
That's enough, Albert!
Alicia, dear, I'm so glad
you showed up.
I did receive
this invitation, after all.
There's no name.
It says to meet here
after school.
It's from a friend
of yours, I assume?
Huh?
[JANE] I'm the one
who sent that to you, Alicia.
[birds chirping]
[ALICIA]
Aah, little miss freckles.
What was her name?
Why, Jane!
Thank you so much for
asking me to join you today.
[ALICIA] You want to discuss
how we look again
or is there something else
on your mind?
Poor Marika here told me
everything you said.
You're going
to be held accountable
for bullying people.
[ALICIA]
That shifty girl from earlier.
So, that was a setup.
This means I've gotten
them to hate me.
I'm a villainess,
so I'll face it head-on.
As everyone already knows,
Alicia is terribly jealous
of Miss Liz
and she's been harassing her
since she came back.
[JANE]
But since she's nowhere near
as respectable as Miss Liz,
she keeps getting beat
at her own sick game.
Of course, she's mad,
so she's been taking out
all of her pent-up frustrations
on this innocent girl!
But, Marika, who's always
been so kind and generous,
finally had enough
and came to me for help.
I don't recall
bullying this girl.
In fact, to be honest,
I've only ever
spoken to her one time.
[ALICIA] And even then,
she wouldn't tell me her name.
You're not going to get away
with your antics this time.
-Marika.
-Oh, right.
[JANE]
I taught her how to make sure
there'd be proof
of their exchange.
[MARIKA]
Don't make me beg, trust me.
[ALICIA] Do you think
I'm stupid enough
to follow a stranger
without being told why?
[ALICIA] It sounds like
the conversation we had
but different.
Something's weird about it.
[rustling]
[MARIKA]
What? Please do forgive me!
I'm so sorry, I mean it!
[ALICIA]
I don't have time right now.
Good day to you.
♪
She seeks her out
just to be mean.
Marika didn't do anything
to deserve Alicia's
constant put-downs.
There was a weird sound.
A thump?
Did she get physical with her?
She sounds like a brute.
Wait, that's not
what happened
Ah?
[ALICIA]
So, she edited it.
Earth magic
isn't really my specialty,
but I'm pretty sure
that's a high-level spell.
[smirks]
-[Alicia chuckles]
-[gasps]
[ALICIA]
Not bad!
She'd make a fairly
decent villainess!
We all heard you.
What was the point?
Marika's one of the kindest,
sweetest girls I know.
[LIZ] Talking to her like that
will only wither her!
♪
[ALICIA]
The kindest, huh?
[scoffs]
You're still such a poor
judge of character, Liz.
-Huh?
-[huffs]
I think you've said enough!
That was mean-spirited!
You can't talk your way
out of this one either!
What a coward!
Own up to what you said!
We even have hard proof!
Tell Miss Marika you're sorry!
♪
You'd best apologize
in front of everyone here.
[ALICIA] I've been unanimously
cast in the villainess role.
I amaze myself!
Now, what shall I do next?
[CAROL] Um, may I say
something, please?
Huh?
Hmm.
[footfall]
Something's not
right about this.
Alicia said she has no memory
of this conversation, but
[CAROL] No one wants to hear
what she has to say.
It's as if you're determined
to make her out
to be the bad guy!
Hmm.
[ALICIA]
I've never met her before.
So, why would she speak up
for me like that?
Hold on,
what do you mean, Carol?
That took a lot of courage
for Marika to share with us
and you dare to doubt her?
Well, I'm not sure
if that conversation alone
is enough to judge.
Shouldn't we hear what both
of them have to say first?
Wow, are you trying
to say Marika lied?
No, but
[ALICIA]
She's actually trembling.
I feel like I should tell her
I certainly
don't need her help.
But that feels wrong,
I don't want to be
an ungrateful villainess.
You better have proof if you're
going to say things like that!
Hold on
I have all the proof
you need right here.
[footfall]
[chuckles]
Oh, Mel.
Hmm.
[MARIKA]
Um, pardon me, Miss Alicia.
May I ask you for a favor?
[ALICIA]
Regarding?
We've never even met.
What's your name?
[both gasping]
[MARIKA]
Oh, um
I need you to come with me.
-[ALICIA] What for?
-[MARIKA] It won't take long!
Wait a minute.
This sounds a lot like
that recording from before.
But it's sorta, different.
[ALICIA] Do you think
I'm stupid enough
to follow a stranger
without being told why?
[MARIKA] What?
Please do forgive me!
[Alicia sighs]
[ALICIA] Sorry, my next
class is about to start.
-I don't have time right now.
-You better tell
-everyone the truth.
-[gasps]
[MARIKA] Wait!
But I Miss Alicia, please!
Well, I um
[thudding]
[MARIKA]
I'm so sorry.
I mean it!
[fingers snapping]
[Marika gasps]
[ALICIA]
You should always treat books
with respect and care.
Seems very different
from the other recording,
so why is that?
Oh, that must mean one of us
is trying to deceive you!
[MEL] Wonder if a teacher
with earth magic
could analyze these for us?
[gasps]
[MARIKA] No, wait,
Jane ordered me to do it!
Hey!
[MARIKA] She said
she wanted to frame Alicia
and make everyone hate her!
And I was too scared to say no!
Stop it.
You did?
Alicia might be
a bad person, sure
but that doesn't mean it's okay
to frame her like that.
What a waste of time.
You ruined Liz's tea party
just for this?
Wait, blame her!
She's been blatantly insulting
Miss Liz for a long time!
But because Miss Liz
is so kind and strong,
she ends up overlooking
all of the rude things
that Alicia says!
[JANE] Didn't you all say
you wouldn't stand for that?
That's the reason
I felt justified
in punishing her myself!
-[gasps]
-And you're
Hmm.
Oh, Alicia, I'm so sorry.
-Uh?
-[LIZ] This is all my fault.
-[gasps]
-Why are you apologizing to me?
Did you put her up to it?
If not, then,
it's between me and them.
You really don't need
to get in the middle.
Jane said she did it for how
you treated me earlier.
Even if I didn't ask for it.
I don't want to be someone that
can turn a blind eye so easily.
While I can appreciate
where you're coming from,
you're still not to blame
but I understand now.
-Thank you.
-[gasps]
[MEL] Is this little farce
finally through?
Shall we go, Ali-Ali?
Pardon me?
Come on, there's so much
to talk about!
That so?
I have a lot of questions
to ask you, as well.
[MEL]
Oh, gosh!
What do you think
she wants to know?
[footfall]
[footfall]
So
care to introduce yourself?
You knew when Marika
and I would talk.
How else could you have
possibly been recording it?
[ALICIA]
I've never seen you,
so were you there
when we spoke?
Why do you even
want to help me?
Wow,
quite a few questions there.
I guess we should start
with who I am first so,
I'm your biggest fan, Ali-Ali!
-What?
-You're too cute!
From your silky black hair!
To your pale, glassy skin!
Those choice words
you're not afraid
to pour out of your
perfect lips.
And those piercing golden eyes
of yours send me over the moon!
She's a lot, huh?
♪
That and I absolutely
hate Liz Cather.
[both gasping]
[MEL] It's so rude
the way she intrudes
in other people's lives,
with that condescending tone,
like she's the only one
capable of empathy.
So nasty.
You'd think most people
would be annoyed,
but it takes no time for her
to gain a loyal following.
There's no sign she uses
spells or magic tools
to mess with their minds.
Personally, I find it
all so utterly creepy.
[indistinct chatter]
[MEL] There are some students
who didn't join her cult,
but most are staying quiet
because they just want
to keep the peace.
[ALICIA]
I guess her Saint qualities
don't affect everyone.
You remember that time
in the rose garden
when you presented your
well-thought-out argument
against her essay?
You handled that perfectly!
It was fun to wa--
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
[ALICIA]
Prince Duke?
I hope she didn't
bother you too much.
She's a lot.
-You've met?
-[DUKE] Her name is Mel.
She's my personal spy.
[ALICIA]
No way!
That's such a villain
thing to have!
Ali-Ali.
Can you pat my head
and heal me.
[grunts]
She's a total weirdo,
but she's a genius
at earth magic.
She acts as my eyes
and ears at school.
You see, earth magic
can record things
like what we all heard earlier.
But you can also use it
to conceal where you are.
So, that's how you were able
to record that
conversation then.
[grunts]
On duty one day, I learned
of their little scheme.
On duty?
She works for me.
I ordered her to shadow you.
[sighs]
Oh, but it's not as if I was
watching you around the clock!
It's important that I still
attend my own lectures
when you're in school.
I'm sorry
I didn't tell you sooner.
[DUKE]
I wanted you to feel free
to live your life
to the fullest.
I like it when you're
your most authentic self,
vibrant and feisty.
I knew that you'd feel trapped
if I told you
I was looking out for you.
But then
hearing what you said
made me rethink things.
Then once he thought about it,
he fessed up.
And I'm overjoyed that
I'm allowed to talk to you now!
I've wanted to for so long!
What's more, I'd prefer
to protect you out in the open.
[gasps]
Wow, Prince Duke.
Don't get lost
in each other's eyes just yet.
Ah!
So, you must've heard from her
that I was playing
the villainess role, as well.
You knew I intended
to go against the grain, huh?
I think you made that
pretty clear.
Well, that's fine, I mean.
[ALICIA] It makes me
feel like an accomplice
and I can get behind that.
[gasps]
I guess you don't mind
being watched
when you like the guy?
Hey, wha
[whimpering]
Hmm.
Oh, that's right.
I just remembered
I have something to do!
So, please excuse me!
Wait up, Alicia!
[gasping]
[chuckles]
[footfall]
[water burbling]
Coward.
Would you shut up!
I promised to meet up
with Grandpa Will today,
so I wasn't lying!
But that wasn't a very
villainessy thing to do,
was it?
[ALICIA]
I just want to be someone
who can make
Prince Duke's heart race.
Hmm.
[GILL] I'm pretty sure
it's already racing.
[indistinct chatter]
Alicia and Gill!
Hey, uh?
Why the big crowd?
Grandpa Will
asked us all to gather here.
So, they're
They're our guards.
Master Will formed
the group to protect us.
I'm the top dog here.
Master Will's been
acting different.
Now that he can see,
he's devoted
to changing this village.
[REBECCA] It's like he gets
younger with every minute.
Good ol' Grandpa Will.
[WILL] I see everyone
has made it today.
And thank you for coming,
Alicia and Gill.
[both gasp]
[WILL] I thought it was
about time I told everyone
what I know to be true.
I'm going to talk about
my boring past
but also about Roana's future.
To start, my little brother
is Luke Seeker,
the current king.
And I'm Will Seeker.
What?

Hmm.
