How to Tame a Villain Character-Chapter 47: Claudia’s Childhood Story

Talking about Claudia’s childhood story, was it always a happy one? Claudia, who is known to be elegant, a perfectionist, quiet and intelligent girl, also has a dark past. Especially when she was ten years old. Claudia really likes playing musical instruments, whether playing the piano or violin to perform in big events.

Even though it sounds perfect to be able to play two musical instruments, all this time she has always lied to everyone that she can play musical instruments. In fact, since that terrible incident, she has never played a musical instrument again.

Claudia always attended a music academy. It wasn’t the demands of her parents that required her to attend the academy until she could, but Claudia’s own wishes. She never gets bored studying music with her friends who are close to her.

From Claudia’s childhood perspective, she dared to touch the violin. Playing one of her favorite songs in front of all her friends. At that time, the academy was still peaceful before a disaster came to them.

"Wow, that’s great, Claudia!" praised one of the little girls sitting in the front seat.

Claudia scratched her head embarrassedly. "I still have a lot to learn."

"Claudia, I’m really counting on you to fill the music festival next week. This talent of yours cannot be wasted." A middle-aged woman applauded enthusiastically.

"Miss Fiona, but I’m still embarrassed to appear on stage. Moreover, I’m actually not very skilled at it. I still made a mistake earlier."

Fiona shook her head. "No. What you showed earlier was the best."

"Then, I want to perform one more time until I can."

At that time, Claudia was also the type of woman who never gave up whenever she did something new. In order to perform at his best at music festivals, she always practices playing the violin before going to bed. Even her biological mother was very worried that she would fall ill if he practiced without resting.

Even though it was midnight, Claudia was still enthusiastic about playing the violin while dancing. Increasingly impatient to shine in front of everyone, there are only two days left. Her body was starting to get tired from training without rest, but she stubbornly still wanted to train.

"Claudia, may I come in?" asked the mother in front of the room.

"Yes, Mom!" shouted Claudia.

The mother entered her little daughter’s spacious room carrying chocolate cookies and milk. Looking at her little daughter who was still actively practicing in front of the mirror, she could only shake her head and put the tray on the table.

"Are you still training?"

"The day after tomorrow I have to perform, Mom. I don’t want to ruin the festival just because I’m lazy about practicing."

The mother fed her daughter a piece of cookie. "But, you still have to rest. What if you get sick?"

"I won’t get sick." Claudia nibbled on cookies nimbly while hugging her mother. "I also want you to look at me with pride."

"But, I wouldn’t be proud if you got sick from continuing to practice." The mother flicked her daughter’s forehead.

"Yes... yes... it hurts, Mom!"

"I wouldn’t expect too much. You learning music suddenly isn’t what we want either. Even though you made a few mistakes, that doesn’t mean you failed, Claudia. You are always the best in our eyes."

Hearing advice from her mother made Claudia’s smile widen even more. She let go of the hug for a moment while continuing to eat the chocolate cookies hungrily. She admitted that she pushed herself too hard until she was hungry.

It doesn’t feel like tomorrow has already arrived. Without feeling nervous, Claudia practiced as usual with her academic friends. However, today’s atmosphere is different from usual. Hearing everyone’s screams from the other room, Claudia stopped playing the violin and ran over to Fiona.

"Miss Fiona, what happened? Why is everyone screaming?" Claudia asked tremblingly.

Fiona also panicked while trying to contact the teachers in another room. "I do not know either. I’m trying to check the situation outside."

The sound of a gun shooting suddenly made all the academic children scream. Claudia shed tears, her right hand still tremblingly holding the violin. She looked at her friends running around the classroom, each of them screaming at their parents to save them from this place.

A big man smashed the classroom door until it broke. The mercenaries entered the classroom and took all of Claudia’s friends hostage, including Fiona.

"I beg you, don’t kill these innocent children," Fiona persuaded, rubbing her palms.

The man with a scratched face pointed a gun at Fiona’s head. "This is the consequence of you still playing musical instruments at a time like this. Don’t you know the current rule about not holding music festivals?!"

"If you want to kill, just kill me. Free the children here."

The big man shot Fiona in the head without further ado. All the children screamed while running to save themselves. However, the results of their efforts were in vain. The rebels killed everyone here until an academic building was covered in blood.

What is left is Claudia who is still alive. Luckily, since childhood, she was smart enough to save herself. Seeing a small gap near the door, she immediately ran as hard as she could to avoid the mercenaries. With panting breath looking for an area to hide. Tears continued to flood her cheeks, in her heart she continued to pray that someone would volunteer to save her from this disaster. She can contact her parents now, but doesn’t want her parents’ lives to be lost when she is still young.

When Claudia turned her head back, the tall man with a tattoo on his neck wanted to shoot at her. The adrenaline in your body is getting stronger and you are screaming for help in a desperate tone. Moreover, she accidentally tripped due to a sprain and her body collapsed to the floor covered in blood.

"Someone, please save me!"
