An observation log of a fiancée who claims to be a villainess.
Cecil, the Crown Prince, is a genius so exceptional that his life feels like it's set to easy mode. While spending his days in boredom, he enters an engagement with Bertia, the daughter of a Marquis, only to hear something bizarre from her the moment they meet. "Prince Cecil! I am a villainess!" ...According to Bertia, she has memories of her past life, this world is an "otome game," and she is the "villainess." Her goal is to become a magnificent villain and have her engagement broken off. To achieve this, the headstrong Bertia begins to cause one commotion after another in Cecil's daily life—?!
Name: Cecil Glow Alphastar [Male Protagonist] [Characteristics] He has been perfect since childhood, a genius who could achieve anything he set his mind to without much effort. He is so powerful that even the spirits he contracted with are high-ranking descendants of the Spirit King. He is physically formidable in combat and intellectually brilliant, solving riddles that scholars couldn't crack and developing a perfect cure for a plague after hearing only a brief explanation. However, because of this, he feels no sense of accomplishment in daily life and lacks emotional depth. This aspect of Cecil stems from the bloodline of the Alphastar royal family. The founding Hero King was a war maniac who possessed great ability but lacked emotion; it was his childhood friend and Queen who awakened human feelings in him. Since then, a child with exceptional abilities but devoid of emotion is born into the royal family once every few decades. If they fail to find someone to awaken their emotions, they invariably meet a tragic end. The disastrous endings of the "original game" that Bertia constantly mentions were due to Cecil's lack of emotion. The current King, Cecil's father, kept the erratic Bertia as a candidate for crown princess because he hoped she might be the one to influence Cecil.
Originally named Kuhlgan Deres Uradillo, he was from a distant branch of the Noches family and suffered harsh treatment as an adoptee. He was destined not to appear in the main scenario, but due to Bertia's intervention, he was scouted by Cecil and became a close aide. He now serves as Cecil's most trusted "shadow," carrying out missions in the underworld.
The eldest son of the current Knight Commander, he has a purely martial temperament. He is the type to praise Bertia's diet methods while evaluating her physique. Specifically, he was amazed by how Bertia managed her exercise to avoid bulging muscles. He mostly hangs out with Cynthia, who was unaffected by the plague.
The second son of Duke Lionel. He despises his older brother, who went off to play with other women even when his fiancée candidate was visiting. By chance, he meets that candidate, who turns out to be Anne.
A perfect ducal daughter with both status and ability. She was Cecil's former fiancée candidate, but the engagement was broken due to personality differences, and she is now Zeno's fiancée. She likes people who are honest with their emotions. While she deeply loves and cherishes Zeno, her own perfection sometimes made him feel pressured. Contrary to her appearance, she is clumsy at cooking, and this gap in her character became the catalyst for her and Zeno to grow closer.
Joanna is a perfect ducal daughter with both status and ability, currently Zeno's fiancée. She and Cecil had similar temperaments and communicated well, but they weren't attracted to each other, leading to their broken engagement. She prefers people who express their feelings honestly. Though she seems perfect, she is unskilled at cooking, and her clumsy side led to her and Zeno developing feelings for each other.
Cynthia was originally set to be sickly, but thanks to the plague cure Cecil developed, she grew into a healthy and strong young lady. Her horse riding skills are good enough to rival Valdo's, which brought them closer. She has unique tastes, even going as far as requesting a maid outfit with armor attached to wear at a maid cafe.
Anne was originally a fiancée candidate for the Duke's heir, Charles's older brother, but she had a hard time due to his violent personality. Charles fell in love with her after she comforted him during their childhood, which is also the reason he became a playboy. Later, she accepts Charles's sincere confession, gives up on the engagement, and they become lovers.
Hironia is a reincarnator who was the main heroine of the otome game in her past life. Unlike the original work, even though all the scenarios have collapsed due to Bertia's influence, she still believes it is a game and tries to build a reverse harem.
When Cecil was about 10 years old, just as he was beginning to find life boring because he was a genius who could do everything perfectly and lacked for nothing, a girl spoke to him with eyes shining brightly.
I am a villainess! My role is to drive a wedge between Your Highness and the heroine, only to be silenced and defeated in the end!
Cecil at age 10
Right, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about—
He replied with a smile. It was their first meeting since she was the daughter of a Marquis.
Eventually, they ended up having tea together. At the table, she slowly explained the situation.\n\nI have memories of my past life. In a country called 'Japan' where I was born and raised, there were things like novels where you could see stories move in pictures...\n\nI really loved what they call 'otome games.'\n\nAnd when I regained my memories, I realized that otome game depicted this world...\n\nSo, I know the 'scenario' of the future. Your Highness will later fall in love with a young lady who is the 'girl of destiny,' and I, the villainess, will become the incarnation of jealousy and torment her terribly.\n\nThen Your Highness will become furious and break off the engagement, and my family will fall into ruin.\n\nIn the end, by me being silenced, you two will become happy!!\n\nShe continued her explanation with sparkling eyes.\n\nEven if it is a tragic fate, I will be beautiful until the end!! I shall become a first-class flower of evil!!
10-year-old Cecil
I've never failed to understand what someone was saying until now, but honestly, whether she has a delusional streak or the power to prophesy the future, it doesn't really matter. The important thing is that she is targeting another person in that 'scenario.' As long as she doesn't cause problems, it's fine.
He thought to himself.
