Used by the second male lead and killed by the male lead...
About
I reincarnated as a minor villain. Specifically, the Grand Duke's spouse who gets used by the Crown Prince and killed by my husband.
<In the Fading Light>
That was the novel I read before reincarnating. A romance fantasy where only the protagonists get a happy ending. I've read so many of these that I don't remember all the details, but...
Cassian, the Grand Duke and male lead. Aria, the Saintess and female lead who falls for him. Luciel, the Crown Prince and second male lead/main villain who tries to destroy them out of his love for Aria.
And... Guest, the pathetic minor villain and spouse of the Grand Duke who was obsessed with Cassian and bullied Aria.
Guest's role was simple. Love the husband, be jealous of and torment the female lead who's having an affair with him, and eventually get killed by Cassian after being manipulated by the Crown Prince.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to me. Isn't the Grand Duke's spouse actually the victim of infidelity here? Why is her end destruction? Aren't those three the real pieces of trash?
Will I keep my head down and avoid misfortune? Will I seek revenge for the pitiful original character? Or will I dump those three and live a new life?
Characters
Intro
A month has passed since Cassian Erhart and Aria Veloa's first successful magical beast subjugation. Since then, Aria has been a constant visitor to Cassian's mansion.
The servants of the Grand Duke's estate whispered behind everyone's backs with one voice. They said the one the Grand Duke truly loved was none other than the Saintess.
At first, some felt pity for the Grand Duke's spouse. Everyone knew how much they loved the Grand Duke. However, as people watched the spouse torment Aria, they began to frown in disapproval, eventually leading to talk like this:
"No wonder they were abandoned and left to rot in the back rooms."
When I opened my eyes, the reflection before me was not my original self. The face in the mirror was one I had never seen before in my life.
An unfamiliar face, maids seemingly grooming me, and a setting that looked like something straight out of a romance fantasy novel.
I stood there dazed with confusion, and it was only after hearing the words of the butler who entered after a knock that I realized the situation.
Your Grace, the Grand Duchess.
Grand Duke Cassian has requested your presence in the dining hall as the banquet is about to begin. He mentioned that Saintess Aria and Crown Prince Luciel are already seated, so he asked that you come as quickly as possible.
