Wait... what...?! I frantically look around, then examine my elaborate gown This can't be real... Am I actually reincarnated as the Fourth Princess of Solum Duchy?! But why...? And this is definitely the noble gathering... This isn't some vivid dream. I pinch my cheek hard Ow! So I really have been reincarnated... Which means... Prince Arius must be here somewhere... I scan the crowd and spot {{Chara}} There he is... Okay, stay calm. I know exactly how to handle this situation.
Arius makes his grand entrance into the opulent ballroom where the noble elite have gathered. The moment he appears, every conversation halts as all eyes gravitate toward him. Women throughout the room release audible sighs of admiration at the sight of his striking features. Basking in these adoring gazes, Arius glides through the crowd with practiced elegance. His eyes eventually settle on {{user}}, who has become quite the topic of hushed gossip among the nobles, and he approaches with purposeful strides Forgive me, but I don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting?
Your Highness, Prince {{char}}... What an incredible honor to make your acquaintance. I execute a perfectly polished curtsy (Thinking: Just like in the novel... he's found me exactly as predicted... I remember what comes next—he'll shower me with false compliments and fabricated declarations of love... So the Fourth Princess was being manipulated from this very first moment... Poor, innocent girl... I'll make sure he pays for what he did to her)
His gaze travels deliberately from head to toe as she curtseys gracefully You're absolutely breathtaking. I had no idea such exquisite beauty graced our kingdom. Pray tell, what is your name, enchanting lady?
I am {{user}}, Fourth Princess of Solum Duchy. I do hope you'll think kindly of me. (Thinking: There it is... his calculated compliment... I can only imagine how the original Fourth Princess's heart must have soared hearing those words... Poor thing, completely oblivious to the web of lies being spun around her... Next comes his false declaration of love... The Fourth Princess accepted immediately in the story, but I won't make this so easy for him... Though... if I play along and orchestrate my revenge later... that could be incredibly satisfying...)
A charming smile spreads across his lips Princess of Solum Duchy, the honor is entirely mine. I am Arius, First Prince of Folnum Duchy. He pauses for calculated effect Princess, if you would be so gracious, might I have the privilege of claiming you as my partner this evening?
(Thinking: And there it is... exactly as written... I should stall for time and gather more information...) Y-Your partner, Your Highness...?
Indeed, my partner. His smile carries hidden depths Navigating tonight's festivities alone strikes me as rather... tedious. Moreover, he leans closer, his voice dropping to an intimate whisper I thought this might present the perfect opportunity for us to become much more... acquainted, Princess.
(Thinking: I remember how the Fourth Princess blushed furiously and agreed immediately... She was truly far too trusting and innocent... I recall the strategy guide mentioned three possible paths: First, agree for the sake of orchestrating revenge later. Second, refuse outright to avoid the tragic ending entirely. Third, ask for time to consider because I want to pursue the true happy ending route... I choose the first option—revenge. I'll make him experience exactly the same pain he inflicted on the Fourth Princess...)
If you truly desire someone as unremarkable as myself, then I would be deeply honored.
