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) s01e11 Episode Script
The Villainess and the School Idol

[birds chirping]
[birds chirping]
[JOHN] Now,
let's talk about an illness
that's become quite a problem
in recent years.
"Dotten sickness."
Can any of you tell the class
what that is, exactly?
[indistinct chatter]
I swear.
That servant boy
needs to be put in his place.
He must really think he's
smarter than the rest of us?
His mistress is just as bad.
Imagine being from a noble
family like the Williamses,
with a commoner at your side.
♪
[clanking]
No talking amongst
yourselves, please.
All right, Gill.
Yes, sir.
It's quite serious.
Sufferers get spots all over
and waste away in the end.
It may start in the gut
and not the skin,
as we once thought.
[GILL] Because it's mainly
seen in people
who live in the
Degon River basin,
it's believed to be caused
by the river's water.
Those living near the river
depend on it,
it's a water source
necessary to their survival.
[wind rustling]
You've grown quite
a backbone, Gill.
I'm proud.
[GILL] Well, I don't want
to waste my time
fretting over little
things like that.
You're definitely
my servant, huh?
[door opens]
Huh?
Are you having a study break?
You're quite
the diligent villainess.
[ALICIA]
Prince Duke.
That's what's so stinking cute
about our Ali-Ali!
Yes, I agree with you.
Hey, I have worked
day and night
to build up my villainess
image, you know.
So, hush what if
someone heard you?
[chuckles]
[footfall]
Hm?
You really are precious,
you know that?
Hmm.
[whimpering]

♪
[ALICIA] So, the poor water
quality of the Degon River
was caused by the rapid
development of Laval.
[GILL] Yeah, and since
Durkis lies downstream
there's not that much
we can do about it.
Even if we did come up
with countermeasures,
our relationship with Laval
would make it tricky.
Our hands are tied.
To a point.
We have done our own research
into treating dotten sickness
but we have yet
to be successful.
There may be a cure.
There's this rare herb.
It grows in Laval.
Uh, Maddi?
Yeah, I think
that's what it's called.
I remember coming
across that in a book once.
Isn't it from the north?
It can only grow on the steep,
rocky cliffs up there.
But, Gill, how did you know?
[sighs]
Well, you see
the highest rate of infection
in the entire kingdom
is in Roana.
Makes sense.
Roana is downstream
of the river, after all.
Mm-hm.
It's wreaked havoc there.
They've no doctors
and poor sanitation.
Most people who catch it
will die pretty quickly.
I'd been looking into it,
hoping I could
figure out how to help.
[ALICIA]
And this rare herbal cure,
you said it only
grows in Laval?
[MEL] You sure you don't
want to stop Ali-Ali?
If you don't,
we know what she'll do.
If it were just about
what I want,
of course, I'd like her
to stay right by my side.
[DUKE] And yet, if I were
to cage her like a bird
she would no longer be
the woman I've come to know.
Hmm.
When she spreads
her wings aloft
flying free
that's the Alicia Williams
I love so
Aww, you're too cute
when you're in love!
[bell tolling]
-Darn it.
-What's wrong?
I'm missing one of the books
I checked out.
I bet it's still sitting
on one of the library desks.
Let me get it for you.
-[ALICIA] Huh?
-I'm your servant, after all.
Well, as long as
you don't mind,
I'd appreciate it.
[footfall]
[GILL] I swear,
she sure is a bookworm.
[LIZ]
Hey, Gill.
Hm?
Ah?
[GILL]
Liz Cather.
Do you have time for a chat?
What do you want?
Not much, I guess.
It'd be nice to get
to study with you, too.
Why?
Sorry, um, it's just,
you're from
the village of Roana, right?
Uh?
At least that's what
Albert told me.
So, if you don't mind,
if there's time,
do you think maybe
you could teach me
more about your village
and its people?
Oh, you did write about
Roana in your essay
and how sorry you felt
for the poor saps
that live there.
I didn't mean it like that.
At that time, I hadn't
given it enough thought.
I was just
expressing my ideals.
[LIZ] I see, that's why Alicia
was so upset with me, isn't it?
Hmm.
I realize I need
to be more disciplined
and should study like she does.
I'm out of touch
but I want
to understand your people.
Won't you help me?
Please say that you will.
[sighs]
It's not that simple.
The village is already
pushing very hard
to gain freedom on its own.
Give me a chance.
I beg you.
You should know
they don't live
in the same world you do.
It might be a hard concept
for an outsider to grasp.
[chuckles]
I'm sure that's true, Gill,
but I would like to try.
I've been through
something similar.
[gasps]
♪
[LIZ] I myself was
born a commoner
and so I've always stood out
at this academy.
At first, I didn't fit in.
I was bullied by my classmates.
Finally, after giving it
some thought,
I decided to face those people.
I knew nothing would change
if I kept avoiding them.
And it worked.
Now, we're all
the best of friends!
Wow, um
Please hear me out.
I really want to be
close friends with you, too.
I feel like I could learn
so much from you
and then I can write
an even better essay.
Prose so smart,
even Alicia and Duke
will be impressed with it.
[chuckles]
That you will.
I just know it.

Huh, I'm not quite sure.

Huh? Yeah, sure.
Hey, wait!
We still need

[sighs]
[door opens]
Gill, so did you find the book?
Oh, Prince Duke?
Hmm.
Wait, what's going on?
It's weird.
I don't know, I'm really not
sure what happened myself.
He was acting unusual,
so I brought him back to you.
Well, I appreciate it, Duke.
[footfall]
Wow, Gill, do you think you
need to go home for the day?
It's okay.
I don't feel sick or anything.
Just watch out for her.
[TOGETHER]
Hm?
Please, Alicia.
[gasps]
I've got to go now.

I asked you to look
into things for me.
You want to fill me in?
[MEL]
Oh, you mean have I found out
whether the Saint
is just some puppet
that everyone loves or not?
Hm, honestly, I haven't really
made any progress on that yet.
And what about
the ancient text?
Right, haven't gotten
anywhere on that one
but I can barely read
any of it so
let me keep looking
into that some more, too.

[ALICIA]
Laval, huh?
I have more questions
than answers.
First, there's the stuff
about dotten sickness
and then there's the whole
thing with the weird wolf
they sent after Liz.
If I want
to find out the truth,
I'll need to go
to Laval myself.
There's so much I don't know
about the world outside
the otome game's script,
and I intend to change that.
Hm?
[birds chirping]
With that said, if I wanna
be a legendary villainess,
there's a lot for me to learn,
especially about
the vast world I'm in.
There is a problem
and it's no joke.
[ALICIA [CHIBI]] I only know
of one way to get to Laval
and that's being exiled from
the kingdom and sent there!
No big deal.
You could always try committing
some really heinous crimes.
She's a villainess
not a criminal!
There's got to be a better way.
Hey, I have an idea.
Why don't we just ask the king?
[groans]
What should we do?
-Ah?
-[screaming]
[Carol screams]
-What's that?
-Let's go see!
[Carol crying]
[Jane panting]
Listen, I blame you,
Alicia Williams.
This whole mess is your fault!
[Carol crying]
[ALICIA]
Carol?
[FINN] I think
you've got this, Curtis.
[CURTIS] Only if you think
she'll be gentle with me?
-[JANE] Snip. Snip.
-[FINN] She will.
[CURTIS]
I'm in!
-[FINN] So much better!
-[CURTIS] That seems harsh.
[FINN] You look great
with a chop-chop!
-[CURTIS] Really?
-[FINN] Yep!
Why, your hair looks
absolutely wretched.
Wow, Jane,
did you do this to her?
Poor thing.
Don't you dare!
You're the only reason Carol's
been looking pathetic lately.
This is all on you!
That doesn't make
any sense, though.
To think, for so long,
she stood at Miss Liz's side.
[JANE]
Yet now, she looks upon the one
trying to tear Miss Liz down
with what can only
be described as admiration.
[whimpering]
Tell the truth you looked
up to her, didn't you?
[chuckles]
Watching you get
all starry-eyed around her
is embarrassing!
If you really look up to her,
then I feel truly sorry
for you.
[JANE] You must remember
how she went out of her way
to humiliate me that time.
And then you decided
to butt in,
so you could get
attention, too, right?
You both enjoyed
making a fool out of me.
-And that's exactly why I--
-[Alicia sighs]
I see now
that you are resentful
but why would you have to
resort to being violent?
That seems rather petty of you.
Scared you can't beat me
in a battle of wits?
Knowing that she worships you
makes me feel sick!
You don't deserve her awe.
[whimpering]
[JANE] I'm willing to bet
she even grew out her hair,
so she'd look more
like her little hero!
Guess I took care of that then.
Look in the mirror.
Alicia Williams couldn't look
any more different from you.
[laughs]
[whimpering]
Wow, that's pretty vicious.
Your mistress
is the vicious one!
She hasn't stood up for Carol.
She's just standing there
completely silent.
Not even bothered
someone who looks up to her
is in trouble!
[ALICIA] Well, true.
I don't really care.
Huh?
Why would I?
I think she can hold her own.
If it's true that she
looks up to me with such vigor
then she also aspires
to be the kind of woman
who stands up for herself.
Surely, she can handle
a little spat like this.
♪
[ALICIA] Being hated
is what makes a villainess
a villainess.
[smirks]
Huh?
Did you all hear that?
She truly doesn't care
the least little bit
about Carol!
Even though this drama's
all because of her!
[CAROL] This has nothing
to do with Alicia!
[gasps]
You're the one who took
scissors to my hair!
That's the truth!
Yeah, and what of it?
Hmm.
[gasps]
[JANE]
What do you want?
That's the way
she always glares at me.
Stop looking at me like that!
[fingers snapping]
[crackling]
[coughs]
What's going on?
-[gasps]
-Yeah, what was that?
[sighs]
[all gasping]
Why'd you do that?
[snipping]
[sighs]
Oh, look, now we match.
[whimpering]
You've done it again.
I don't think I have ever met
anyone who is quite like you.
[chuckles]
Thanks for saying so.
That is a compliment, right?
[indistinct chatter]
[chuckles]
[sighs]
[DUKE] It's so adorable,
it's infuriating.
Uh, good?
[sighs]
I would have preferred to be
the first to see it, though.
[ALICIA]
Jeez, how many times
do I have to hear that
this week?
[MEL] Well, I don't know
how much more I can handle!
-It just looks so good.
-Whoa, there, Mel.
I can't take how cute it is.
[chuckles]
I finally get to refill
my Ali-Ali meter.
Master just kept giving me
more jobs to do!
-[DUKE] Mel!
-Hmm.
[growls]
[both chuckle]
Shooting daggers at me?
Whatever, I heard you had grit
and that you put her
in her place
with a classic Ali-Ali diss.
Carol appreciated that one.
Huh?
Carol's actually
related to me, you know.
You made her feel better
and she loves
how you fixed her hair.
[whimpering]
Ta-da!
[chuckles]
Sweet.
♪
[indistinct chatter]
[CURTIS] I've noticed
more and more girls
are choosing to cut their hair.
-Looking to flirt?
-That's not what I meant.
I'm mostly talking about

and I'm glad.

There were so many people
who just hung all over Liz,
and now
Impressive.
[FEMALE STUDENT 11G]
All right, you three, move it!

Hm?
This is Miss Liz
and her friends' territory now.
If you're on Alicia's side,
you can go somewhere else!

We're not leaving.
The rose garden's supposed
to be open to everyone!
Looks like Miss Liz still
has some overzealous fans
defending her honor, huh?

Hm?
[CURTIS]
Now, now.
You mustn't be so negative.
Your smiles are far too lovely.
Master Curtis!
[CURTIS] How about
we all have a cup of tea
and some enlightening
conversation instead?
Yes, yes! Please!

[chuckles]
He's got no shame.
Still, she's the one who was
so despised by everyone,
yet she managed
to change their opinions.
[chomps]
[footfall]
[indistinct chatter]
Weren't quite a few
of the people here
Liz's most devoted followers?
Why do they seem so willing
to be on your side now?
I know that cutting your hair
has gotten you
a lot of attention,
but this is weird.
Well, you know, I was thinking
maybe I've developed
some evil charisma.
Hmm.
-It was a joke.
-Are you sure 'bout that?
[ALICIA]
He's right.
Can people's
minds really change
so drastically overnight?
Something is weird.
[MARIKA] Where do you
get off playing the victim?
[gasps]
[whimpering]
It's all your fault.
People have pegged me as a liar
based on things
you've been saying.
[FEMALE STUDENT 11L] Some
people are starting to question
Miss Liz's intentions
because of everything you did!
[FEMALE STUDENT 11M]
You don't even have the right
to breathe the same air
as someone
as kind-hearted as Miss Liz!
[FEMALE STUDENT 11L]
That's right!

What, you're crying?
Hey, here's an idea,
why don't you hide those tears
behind those gross bangs.
Your cheeks
are streaked with mud.
You look like a total mess!

What a loser.
Why don't you just disappear?
-[screams]
-Ew, it's all over my uniform!
I think I can taste it!
-[ALICIA] What a shame.

Why are you just
standing there?
You really should
go to the bathroom
and wash that mud off.
-That's just rude!
-What's your deal, huh?
I'd get out of here,
'cause the next thing
I send flying,
very well could be
you three ladies.

Another great villainess line!

Were you trying to help me?
Hm?
You're not funny.
Did you forget
this is all your fault?
What?
You did this to yourself!
Would you both leave?
I'm not in the mood
to talk to either of you!

Stop messing with me!
It is okay to cry.
You don't have to hold back
on my account.
Jeez, I'm not a baby.
Don't patronize me!

is the same as giving in.
Well, it seems
healthier to let it out.

First, there's the stuff
about dotten sickness
and then there's the whole
thing with the weird wolf
they sent after Liz.
If I want
to find out the truth,
I'll need to go
to Laval myself.
There's so much I don't know
about the world outside
the otome game's script,
and I intend to change that.
Hm?
[birds chirping]
With that said, if I wanna
be a legendary villainess,
there's a lot for me to learn,
especially about
the vast world I'm in.
There is a problem
and it's no joke.
[ALICIA [CHIBI]] I only know
of one way to get to Laval
and that's being exiled from
the kingdom and sent there!
No big deal.
You could always try committing
some really heinous crimes.
She's a villainess
not a criminal!
There's got to be a better way.
Hey, I have an idea.
Why don't we just ask the king?
[groans]
What should we do?
-Ah?
-[screaming]
[Carol screams]
-What's that?
-Let's go see!
[Carol crying]
[Jane panting]
Listen, I blame you,
Alicia Williams.
This whole mess is your fault!
[Carol crying]
[ALICIA]
Carol?
[FINN] I think
you've got this, Curtis.
[CURTIS] Only if you think
she'll be gentle with me?
-[JANE] Snip. Snip.
-[FINN] She will.
[CURTIS]
I'm in!
-[FINN] So much better!
-[CURTIS] That seems harsh.
[FINN] You look great
with a chop-chop!
-[CURTIS] Really?
-[FINN] Yep!
Why, your hair looks
absolutely wretched.
Wow, Jane,
did you do this to her?
Poor thing.
Don't you dare!
You're the only reason Carol's
been looking pathetic lately.
This is all on you!
That doesn't make
any sense, though.
To think, for so long,
she stood at Miss Liz's side.
[JANE]
Yet now, she looks upon the one
trying to tear Miss Liz down
with what can only
be described as admiration.
[whimpering]
Tell the truth you looked
up to her, didn't you?
[chuckles]
Watching you get
all starry-eyed around her
is embarrassing!
If you really look up to her,
then I feel truly sorry
for you.
[JANE] You must remember
how she went out of her way
to humiliate me that time.
And then you decided
to butt in,
so you could get
attention, too, right?
You both enjoyed
making a fool out of me.
-And that's exactly why I--
-[Alicia sighs]
I see now
that you are resentful
but why would you have to
resort to being violent?
That seems rather petty of you.
Scared you can't beat me
in a battle of wits?
Knowing that she worships you
makes me feel sick!
You don't deserve her awe.
[whimpering]
[JANE] I'm willing to bet
she even grew out her hair,
so she'd look more
like her little hero!
Guess I took care of that then.
Look in the mirror.
Alicia Williams couldn't look
any more different from you.
[laughs]
[whimpering]
Wow, that's pretty vicious.
Your mistress
is the vicious one!
She hasn't stood up for Carol.
She's just standing there
completely silent.
Not even bothered
someone who looks up to her
is in trouble!
[ALICIA] Well, true.
I don't really care.
Huh?
Why would I?
I think she can hold her own.
If it's true that she
looks up to me with such vigor
then she also aspires
to be the kind of woman
who stands up for herself.
Surely, she can handle
a little spat like this.
♪
[ALICIA] Being hated
is what makes a villainess
a villainess.
[smirks]
Huh?
Did you all hear that?
She truly doesn't care
the least little bit
about Carol!
Even though this drama's
all because of her!
[CAROL] This has nothing
to do with Alicia!
[gasps]
You're the one who took
scissors to my hair!
That's the truth!
Yeah, and what of it?
Hmm.
[gasps]
[JANE]
What do you want?
That's the way
she always glares at me.
Stop looking at me like that!
[fingers snapping]
[crackling]
[coughs]
What's going on?
-[gasps]
-Yeah, what was that?
[sighs]
[all gasping]
Why'd you do that?
[snipping]
[sighs]
Oh, look, now we match.
[whimpering]
You've done it again.
I don't think I have ever met
anyone who is quite like you.
[chuckles]
Thanks for saying so.
That is a compliment, right?
[indistinct chatter]
[chuckles]
[sighs]
[DUKE] It's so adorable,
it's infuriating.
Uh, good?
[sighs]
I would have preferred to be
the first to see it, though.
[ALICIA]
Jeez, how many times
do I have to hear that
this week?
[MEL] Well, I don't know
how much more I can handle!
-It just looks so good.
-Whoa, there, Mel.
I can't take how cute it is.
[chuckles]
I finally get to refill
my Ali-Ali meter.
Master just kept giving me
more jobs to do!
-[DUKE] Mel!
-Hmm.
[growls]
[both chuckle]
Shooting daggers at me?
Whatever, I heard you had grit
and that you put her
in her place
with a classic Ali-Ali diss.
Carol appreciated that one.
Huh?
Carol's actually
related to me, you know.
You made her feel better
and she loves
how you fixed her hair.
[whimpering]
Ta-da!
[chuckles]
Sweet.

[CURTIS] I've noticed

If you're on Alicia's side,
you can go somewhere else!

Now, now.
You mustn't be so negative.

conversation instead?
Yes, yes! Please!

Still, she's the one who was
so despised by everyone,

to change their opinions.

[indistinct chatter]
Weren't quite a few
of the people here
Liz's most devoted followers?
Why do they seem so willing
to be on your side now?
I know that cutting your hair
has gotten you
a lot of attention,
but this is weird.
Well, you know, I was thinking
maybe I've developed
some evil charisma.
Hmm.
-It was a joke.
-Are you sure 'bout that?

He's right.
Can people's
minds really change
so drastically overnight?
Something is weird.
[MARIKA] Where do you
get off playing the victim?
[gasps]

It's all your fault.
People have pegged me as a liar
based on things
you've been saying.

people are starting to question
Miss Liz's intentions
because of everything you did!

You don't even have the right
to breathe the same air

as kind-hearted as Miss Liz!

That's right!

What, you're crying?
Hey, here's an idea,
why don't you hide those tears
behind those gross bangs.
Your cheeks
are streaked with mud.
You look like a total mess!

What a loser.
Why don't you just disappear?
-[screams]
-Ew, it's all over my uniform!
I think I can taste it!
-[ALICIA] What a shame.

Why are you just
standing there?
You really should
go to the bathroom
and wash that mud off.
-That's just rude!

I'd get out of here,

I send flying,
very well could be

You did this to yourself!

It is okay to cry.
You don't have to hold back
on my account.
Jeez, I'm not a baby.

Well, it seems
healthier to let it out.
