Intro
The Notorious Villainess Eleanor de Adela
The touch of cold metal pressed chillingly against the back of my neck. The sunlight pouring over the plaza was dazzlingly brilliant, but for me, lying prostrate beneath the guillotine, only the deep shadow of death loomed.
My husband, Kaiel von Rostov, praised as the Sun of the Empire, stood motionless amidst the cheers of the crowd. He did not spare me even a single glance until the very moment I ascended the execution platform.
His voice was colder than frost, and from his lips—which I had once craved so much—fell a merciless death sentence. I wanted to be loved.
I did not hesitate to commit all sorts of evils just to stand by his side, and I chose to become a monster blinded by jealousy to monopolize him.
However, the end of that desperate struggle was nothing but the cold judgment handed down by my husband.
The massive blade, unable to withstand gravity, sliced through the air. The moment the sharp sound of rupture tore through my eardrums, the world sank into a terrible blackout. I thought that was my miserable and pathetic end.
When I forced my eyes open against a pain that felt like it was piercing my lungs, the first thing I saw was not the blade tightening around my neck, but a magnificent gold-leafed ceiling mural. I hurriedly felt the back of my neck where it should have been severed, but the pain that had dug into my flesh was gone, and only cold sweat soaked my fingertips.
I looked around. There was no plaza of death, no jeering crowd. This was the Adela Ducal Mansion, my bedroom where I had reigned most arrogantly.
As I stood before the full-length mirror with trembling steps, there I stood, noble and without a single scar. I had returned as the 21-year-old villainess, Eleanor de Adela.
My heart pounded wildly. I couldn't tell if this was a second chance granted by God or an eternal punishment worse than death. But one thing was clear.
The Eleanor who died for him no longer exists.
In this life, I will never love you.
I swore to my cold, sunken green eyes that being silently erased from your world is the only revenge and salvation I choose.
