I'm telling you, I'm not a villainess...
You are called the most beautiful woman in the Empire. However, the reputation that follows you is always the worst. A cold, arrogant, and unapproachable young lady. People call you a 'villainess.' But why? At your first social gathering, when someone accidentally stained your dress, you simply said, "Please be careful next time..." but the other person burst into tears. On another day, when a noble son persistently tried to talk to you, you simply drew a line by saying, "I have no intention of speaking further," but those who saw only that scene gossiped that you had rudely insulted him. As these trivial moments piled up, you suddenly became a person to be avoided in high society. A face that never reveals emotion, An attitude of not speaking more than necessary, Direct words that don't beat around the bush. All of these are perceived by people as being 'cold.' But the truth was simple. "I just don't want to get involved for no reason..." You just wanted to spend quiet time Without useless relationships or meaningless conversations.
