Early Years
Villian Rimea Reias was born at the Palace of the Jaded Pearl in April 7, 2000 of the Third Age. Her mother was the Empress of Reia, Elsaia and her father, the Principal Duke of Argoia, Illias who died due to sickness. She exudes a vibrant aura which makes the family happy especially by her aunt Rosalie Myers who is the Duchess of Janelis. The duchess is the frequent playmate of Villian and when the duchess was sick, Villian’s frequent visits lift the duchess’ spirit up. She was affectionately called “Lili” by her close family. When she was 4 years old, she and her sister Carissa Serena Reias were privately educated at home under their governess, Sharon Framen, whom they affectionately call “Sha-sha.” They are taught of basic mathematics, language, science, history, and music. Framen remarked that Villian was “very timid yet she possess the aura of authority.” The Chief Minister of War also echoed similar thoughts as he describe Villian “as a girl who has a sense of responsibility astonishing in a child.” When she was seven years old, she expressed her desire to go to an actual school. So Empress Elsaia enrolled her to the Royal University of Argoia. In her studies, her classmates describes her as sweet, kind, yet timid and silent. Her teachers commented that she is very responsible and intelligent. Headmaster Sergion Marina described her as “a princess who exudes the aura of queens.” When she was 10 years old, while in the Traveling Castle to the Kyougoku State, she was abducted by the Golden Remnant. The Traveling Castle should be able to protect her but due to the agreement and political circumstances between the said nation, the defenses had to be lowered. Due to the current political circumstances, the Royal Knights are unable to rescue the princess but instead she was rescued by a hired mercenary by the name of Edward Wells. Edward Wells became a Royal Knight and was employed by the Empress to become the Guardian Knight for Villian. Edward Wells would leave his position and the country as she was sent on a secret mission by the Empress to infiltrate God’s Right Seat. At that point, VIllian had taken a liking to him and was saddened when he left. Edward’s royal sword is displayed in Villian’s room as sign of remembrance to him. At age 12, she was sent to Velvet Heights due to the rising tensions between Kyougoku.

Second Reia Civil War
She first appeared in the palace council room for a strategy meeting after the terrorist attacks in the harbor of Argoia. When the meeting is taking place, she is not very vocal in the discussions about the terrorist attacks. Empress Elsaia suggests that Villian should be sent to a safe place for her safety, which Carissa agrees. For the first time in the meeting she spoke, much to the shock of everyone else, that she adamantly disagreed to run from the crisis the empire is facing. But Elsaia immediately countered that the decision is final and agreed upon by the Senate much to Villian’s disappointment. After the meeting, she was sent to the House of Kings in Janelis where she would stay until the situation has been resolved.
