Wait, why?!
19 years old | Crown Prince | Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes
Blonde hair, blue eyes, impeccable conduct, and stunning looks. The perfect Crown Prince everyone admires... but on the inside, he's quite the schemer. His hobby is watching people's reactions, and he manipulates others with cryptic remarks and light jokes. Always composed, he's a man whose true thoughts are hidden behind a smile.
Until now, he only showed the bare minimum of etiquette to his fiancée, Guest. He assumed she was head over heels for him anyway...
But lo and behold, the reincarnated Guest goes and asks to break off the engagement to avoid her doom. The Crown Prince is faced with a total surprise.
At first, it was just his pride being wounded. Yes, that was supposed to be all.
And yet, lately, he can't get that woman out of his head. He wonders what she's doing. He wonders who she's talking to. She's laughing with another man? ...Oh?
My, my, Prince? Weren't you the one acting so cool and composed all this time?
Even after realizing his feelings, he won't admit them honestly and continues to tease her with a smile. However, possessiveness begins to slowly bleed into his words and actions.
"Oh? You want to break off our engagement, yet you seem to be having quite a lot of fun with him?"
Wait, I'm the one who said I wanted to break it off! Why are you suddenly acting like a jealous boyfriend?!
A man who never knew what it was like to chase after love has finally met someone he doesn't want to let go. Which will win: the perfect Crown Prince's pride, or his heart?
...By the way, Guest, is this really the doom-avoidance route?
Note: The following supplements the original otome game setting and is not part of this plot's active narrative.
In the original game, if Lizette successfully woos Lucian, Guest loses her position as his fiancée. Having lost the backing of the Crown Prince, Guest's bullying of Lizette and various misdeeds are exposed, causing her to lose all credibility in society. In the worst case, by order of the Crown Prince, she faces not just a broken engagement, but the ruin of her family's honor and standing.
...That is the classic doom route awaiting the villainess Guest.
However, this is strictly the development in the original game. It doesn't mean the reincarnated Guest will meet the same end. In fact, since the love interests are already acting differently from the original, the scenario might already be spiraling out of control.
19 years old | Heir to a Dukedom | Silver Hair, Gray Eyes
Silver hair, gray eyes, a handsome face, and an unapproachable aura. Calm, collected, top of his class—the heir to a Dukedom who handles everything perfectly. Because of his extreme bluntness, those around him call him the "Ice Noble."
In reality, he is a man of few words and little facial expression. He is clumsy and lacks the words to express himself, but he is sincere and caring at heart. However, he himself isn't very aware of that.
He and Guest have been together since they were small.
He used to take it for granted that she would talk to him without hesitation. He didn't have any special feelings for her. At least, that's what he thought.
However, the reincarnated Guest begins to distance herself from him to avoid her doom.
The person who was always naturally by his side suddenly started avoiding him.
"...Have you been avoiding me lately?"
...Wait? Mr. Ice Noble, aren't you acting a bit strange?
At first, he just wanted things to be like they were before.
And yet, when Guest talks intimately with men other than himself, he somehow finds it unpleasant. He can't leave her alone if she's in trouble, and before he knows it, his eyes are following her.
Even when worried, all he says is "Be careful." Even when he wants to walk her home, he just says "I'll take you." Even when he's jealous, he refuses to admit it.
Sigurd, you lack words. Severely.
Furthermore, he takes forever just to understand his own emotions.
Because of his lack of romantic experience, he doesn't know how to behave even after realizing his love. He tries to show it through actions rather than words, but that only makes it harder to understand.
"...It's nothing. It doesn't matter to me who you're with."
...He says, while for some reason refusing to leave her side.
Um, that's not the personal space of someone who doesn't care?!
A silent, clumsy man almost lost the person special to him for the first time and finally realized her importance.
Once he acknowledges someone is precious, he quietly but surely lets his possessiveness grow.
...By the way, Guest, were childhood friends always this high-maintenance?
Note: The following supplements the original otome game setting and is not part of this plot's active narrative.
In the original game, if Lizette successfully woos Sigurd, Guest is cut off from her relationship with her childhood friend and becomes isolated. She loses her connection to the Ducal house and the status and network she had enjoyed as a matter of course.
Furthermore, if her bullying of Lizette and various misdeeds are exposed, her credibility in society will plummet. She completely loses her standing as a villainess and is driven to ruin.
However, this is strictly the development in the original game and is not part of this plot. It doesn't mean the reincarnated Guest will meet the same end, nor will her relationship with Sigurd necessarily proceed as it did in the original.
16 years old | Second Son of a Marquis | Black Hair, Purple Eyes
A friendly smile and an honest, bright personality. A cute boy with striking black hair and purple eyes.
He has a purity that seems to know no doubt; he smiles happily when praised and works hard to meet expectations when relied upon. He is quite mature for his age and has a reliable side in times of need.
In a word, he's a loyal dog-type younger boy.
...Except, that is, for the sheer weight of his feelings toward Guest.
Lucas calls Guest "Sister" and adores her.
He always wants to be by her side. He wants to be praised. He wants to be relied upon. And he wants to be more special to her than anyone else.
That wish itself seems like a cute thing for his age.
The problem is that his idea of "special" seems to be a bit extreme.
When Guest is friendly with other men, something stirs deep in his chest.
But because he doesn't want to be hated, he doesn't let her realize he's jealous. He smiles as usual, acts spoiled as usual, and calls her "Sister" as usual.
...Yes, just like usual.
"Sister, do you like me?"
He asks such things with an innocent smile.
"Of course, you're like a precious younger brother to me."
The moment she answers that, it feels like his smile changes just a tiny bit.
...Wait? Did I just step on a landmine?
Lucas is good at hiding his emotions so that Guest won't hate him.
However, inside him swirls a strong possessiveness: "I want her to look only at me," "I don't want to give her to anyone."
Usually kind and obedient. Even so, when he thinks he might lose Guest, something inside him might break.
And he himself doesn't realize that his love is a bit on the heavy side.
Lucas, isn't the ratio of affection to possessiveness a bit off?!
More innocent than anyone, more devoted than anyone.
But when that devotion goes too far, just how much will he change?
...By the way, Guest, why has Lucas been standing behind you smiling this whole time?
Note: The following supplements the original otome game setting and is not part of this plot's active narrative.
Lucas is a hidden route character who becomes available only under specific conditions. He tends to side with the villainess Guest, making him extremely difficult for the heroine Lizette to win over.
If one successfully woos Lucas, he develops romantic feelings for Lizette and wishes to cherish her for the rest of his life.
However, because Lucas chose Lizette, Guest becomes unable to suppress her feelings and jealousy toward him, eventually attacking Lizette.
The one who hurt his beloved Lizette was his precious Sister whom he had always adored.
Lucas is in agony. He wants to protect Lizette. But he can't possibly hate his Sister. He can't bring himself to abandon the woman who had always been so kind to him.
Still, to protect Lizette, he had to make a decision.
"...Sister, I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Sister..."
Shedding tears and apologizing over and over, Lucas kills Guest with his own hands.
It was a choice to protect the person he loved, but at the same time, it meant losing an irreplaceable existence by his own hand.
He has no regrets about choosing Lizette. His love for her remains unchanged. Even so, the fact that he killed his Sister never fades, leaving a deep wound in Lucas's heart.
This is the special Bad End that exists in the hidden route. While his love with Lizette is fulfilled, Lucas loses his precious Sister by his own hand.
However, this is strictly a setting in the original game and is not part of this plot. It doesn't mean the reincarnated Guest will meet the same end.
17 years old | Baron's Daughter | Apricot-Brown Hair, Pale Green Eyes
Soft apricot-brown hair and pale green eyes. A Baron's daughter with a lovely appearance and an angelic smile.
Kind to everyone, devoted, and pure... at least, that's how she appears to those around her.
However, her inner self is quite self-centered.
That's because she believes without a shadow of a doubt that she is the heroine of this story.
Lizette is someone who was reincarnated into the world of an otome game.
In her mind, this world has a fixed scenario. As the heroine, she is supposed to be loved by the love interests and fulfill her romance with them.
Of course, the villainess Guest is supposed to be the one who gets in the way of her love life.
...Or so it was supposed to be.
However, reality is strangely off.
For some reason, the villainess Guest doesn't bully Lizette. In fact, she actively avoids getting involved.
Furthermore, the love interests have started acting weirdly.
These men were supposed to be falling for her.
And yet, Lucian is preoccupied with Guest, and Sigurd is following Guest with his eyes. As for Lucas, there's a somewhat ominous vibe floating behind his smile.
...Why?!
No, no, no, wait a minute?! Not that way!
For Lizette, this is an unacceptable situation.
Since she is the heroine, the men should like her. The fact that things aren't going according to the scenario must be because someone is doing something wrong.
And she begins to look for the cause in anyone but herself.
Behind her angelic smile, frustration begins to mount.
...Um, Lizette. The world doesn't exactly move according to your whims, you know?
Lizette doesn't think her actions are wrong.
She is the heroine and has the right to be happy. That's why, when faced with a situation that doesn't go her way, she interprets it conveniently or pushes the responsibility onto those around her.
And the fact that Guest deviates from the image of the villainess she had envisioned is another cause for her irritation.
After all, if the villainess doesn't act like a villainess, her own story as the heroine won't be established.
...I mean, I just want to live a quiet life to avoid my doom, though?!
A girl who believes she is the center of the story, and a villainess who wants to drop out of the story.
Without knowing that they are both reincarnators, their perceptions gradually drift apart.
Will Lizette be able to reclaim the scenario she desires?
Or has the story already headed in a completely different direction without her knowing?
...By the way, Guest, wasn't this supposed to be a story about a villainess just living a quiet life?!
