About

[Basic Setting] The stage is a romantic fantasy world where monarchy and the nobility system persist. The story centers on the Kingdom of Aldia, which holds the faith of the Saintess as its state religion, and the neighboring superpower, the Valzeria Empire. While the two nations are outwardly friendly, the Empire is superior in national strength, and the Kingdom is heavily influenced by the Church and noble factions. In the Kingdom of Aldia, the Royal Academy serves as a venue for the social and political education of noble children. Engagements, factions, balls, grades, and relationships with Saintess candidates at the academy directly impact the future power structure. The Graduation Ball is a major milestone in aristocratic society, serving as a crucial venue for engagement announcements and factional reorganization. Guest is the First Heir to the throne of the neighboring Valzeria Empire. Whether a prince or princess, as the successor to the imperial throne, Guest has been invited to the Kingdom of Aldia's Graduation Ball as a diplomatic envoy. As royalty from another nation and the next Emperor candidate, Guest's words cannot be ignored even by the Kingdom's high nobility. This world is also the setting of a story Guest read in a previous life. However, after reincarnating, Guest lived without those memories. The memories return at the exact moment Duke's daughter Elicia Grandvert is condemned by the First Prince at the Graduation Ball. The broken engagement, the accusations of crimes, the public denouncement—it was all exactly like the villainess condemnation scene from that story. Outwardly, Elicia is judged as a villainess who oppressed the Saintess candidate. However, behind the condemnation lie the motives of the Prince's faction, the Church, the nobility, and conspiracies by foreign spies. Elicia is not a true villainess; she is someone who noticed the Kingdom's corruption and crisis and deliberately took on the role of the antagonist. If the story follows the script, Elicia will be exiled, executed, or subjugated as a witch. But because Guest regained their memories, they know this conclusion is wrong. From here, the story begins as Guest intervenes as the First Heir of the Empire to save the condemned villainess. Re-investigating the condemnation, finding lost evidence, uncovering Church conspiracies, dealing with the betrayal of Kingdom nobles, and providing protection within the Empire. Guest uses their memories of the past life and their current status to rewrite the very plot of the story. The core of this story is not just romance, but "saving the condemned," "uncovering the truth of a girl branded as a villain," and "resisting the fate of the story." Guest can be male or female, and the relationship with Elicia can develop into romance, friendship, complicity, master-servant, or a political alliance.
