Mastermind: Genderbent Villainess

"Lady Vermillion… we need your help!"

"..." Tanya stood in the middle of the hallway with the girls as they were approached by a swarm of nervous students.

'Can I just have some peace and quiet?' Tanya sighed to herself. She was so popular that people would literally swoon when they saw her.

"What do you want?" Tanya plainly asked.

"We want you to sign a petition to rename the academy into 'Tanya Academy'." They announced their intentions straight away, much to Tanya's utter disappointment. There is a point where blind fanaticism becomes weird, this is the point.

"We also want to witness your flirting skills! We want to bask in your glory!"

"..."

Tanya coughed lightly to clear her throat, feeling rather weirded out by these people. But then again, she was also satisfied that her popularity had become unparalleled within the academy.

"Fine." Tanya shifted her eyes to the side to try to find a prospective target that was not among her entourage and quickly found one walking by.

SWOOSH

Tanya appeared in front of the girl, causing her to jolt back and lose balance. Just as the girl was about to fall flat on her back, Tanya caught her with one arm and posed for the fans.

"Hello, beautiful. Do-"

SMOOCH

"IT'S VICE-PRESIDENT HINA!!!" The crowd called out as Tanya was suddenly passionately kissed all over her mouth,

"MMWWM!!"

'IT'S THAT GIRL!' Tanya finally remembered that the girl she had just chosen as her target was actually the girl she had already seduced back in etiquette class! She had made a bad move and now she was being kissed by another hungry fan.

"Tanya~! I never forgot how dashing and handsome you are… that is why I paced back and forth around this area waiting for a chance to become a winner! How genius of me!" Hina laughed before she attempted to insert her tongue back into Tanya's mouth.

"No no no… stop that!" Tanya shoved her away.

"I just wanted some of your love…" Hina pouted.

"..." Tanya and the girls stepped back in unison.

"Hmmph! What qualifications do you have to become Tanya's lover?!" Yuri frowned horribly at Hina, displaying a piercing glare that was filled with anger. She hated it when outsiders tried to throw themselves on Tanya without Tanya's consent.

"LOVER?! ME?! NOOOO! I am not qualified for such an honour! I only hope to become a concubine in the future and receive the pleasure of being in close proximity to Tanya! This kiss was because I lost control!" Hina hated to be misunderstood. Her pride was still that of a noble and she wanted her voice to be heard loud and clear. 

"Acceptable." Yuri nodded in agreement.

"Concubines get a split of 10% of the total bed shares." Yuri announced.

"Ten percent?! This is amazing!" The crowd roared in approval over Yuri's words. Now they had the opportunity to get a slice of the fat cake. Such a good cake should be shared with everyone, no?

"..." Tanya stares blankly at Yuri.

'I am going to make it so you won't be able to sit for an entire month.' Tanya's enmity with Yuri increased, but not in any serious way.

'Forget becoming tired, I am more likely to suffocate underneath the sheer amount of bodies at this rate.'

"Thank you mistress Yuri for your benevolence! As the first concubine, I will devote my life to my peerless Tanya and the legendary Round Table!"

"Round Table what now? CARE TO EXPLAIN?" Tanya immediately turned to the girls, all of whom were whistling and shuffling away so as to not meet Tanya's wrath.

"The Round Table consists of the legendary women that have made agreements to enter Tanya Vermillion's inner circle of wives. They are responsible for the distribution of the most famous currency known as 'bed shares'! Although this is a powerful form of currency, it is only usable by concubines and members of the Round Table!" Hina explained with an expression of reverence over the wonderful system.

"There is more! The shares refresh every single month! With 80% of bed shares automatically given to the Round Table and 10% given to concubines, there is still a leftover 10% waiting to be claimed. This excess is a reward fund which is assigned by the joint council of the Round Table for concubines that display admirable behaviour. Of course, bed shares can still be trade amongst all participants of the system, making it a real economy."

"..."

"Lady Vermillion, these bed shares can be cashed in for a session with you, in bed… the value of shares is determined by the arbitrary amount of time you allot for bedroom activities in a month."

"..." Tanya was speechless.

"Who came up with this idea?"

"Me…" Yuna nervously responded.

"I just wanted to help create a structure for an otherwise unorganised system… I wanted to help you manage these matters more easily so you don't have to worry so much about managing everything…"

"..." 

So loyal to the point where she wanted to help Tanya manage her bedtime routine. Tanya was actually quite touched by this gesture.

"Now since I have become a concubine, I can enjoy the benefits of having 10% of total bed shares to myself… this is just too heavenly! I will enjoy it while I still can~"

"..." Tanya hadn't agreed to anything like that just yet! 

"Wait a moment… When did I say that I would be taking concubines…?"

"Does that mean you hate me~?" Hina's eyes immediately turned moist as her cute face became saddened.

"..."

"Fine."

"Thank goodness! Mistress Yuri's angel technique has saved me!" Hina pumped her fists up with joy.

"..." Tanya shook her head with a disappointed expression plastered all over it.

Little did she know that she would soon have to deal with numbers well into the 100s. While not all of them would step into the famed Round Table, many would come and no one would leave. In a life where one has the opportunity to pursue Tanya, why would they not take it? It could be said that becoming Tanya's lover was like winning the lottery, losing your virginity, getting married, all in one.

But for now, Tanya still only had one concubine. She did not really want one but now she had one. 

"Penelope, did you also know about this?" Tanya asked.

"No, I am as shocked as you."

"Since this is my body, and it is my wedding month. I will assign 10 minutes to bed shares and award unlimited time for one night to Yuri, Rosellia, and Penelope. I am not going to deal with endless nights at this age." Tanya sighed.

"So I get one minute?" Hina attempted to clarify.

"Are you disappoi-"

"AMAZING! I actually get a minute with Tanya! This is a dream come true! Ever since that day in the ballroom, I have not been able to think of anyone else! I even kept my underwear from the day! Nothing has been touched!"
