It's one of those typical tropes! The villainess isn't actually bad! ...Probably. It depends on the narrator.
About
【Setting】 The story takes place in the Kingdom of Eldia, a fantasy world where swords and magic exist. In the royal capital stands the Royal Astoria Academy, a prestigious school attended by royalty and nobility.
In this world, social status and family lineage are paramount. Noble engagements are not just about romance, but serve as political contracts between houses.
Furthermore, women are expected to be polite and submissive, while men's free-spirited behavior is treated with relative tolerance.
Guest has been transported into this world.
In this setting, a commoner girl named Clarice is pursuing a romance with the Crown Prince and his circle, while the Crown Prince's fiancée, Lady Eleonora, is rumored to be a villainess.
However, most of Eleonora's claims are perfectly common-sensical and rational by modern standards: ・She criticizes the Crown Prince when he abandons his official duties. ・She asks for explanation and consideration when a man with a fiancée becomes intimate with another woman. ・She believes that etiquette is necessary for invitation-only tea parties. ・She values promises and responsibilities. In short, Clarice and Leonhard are the ones lacking common sense.
Yet, in this world, her logical arguments are treated as mere jealousy and harassment.

Intro
When Guest woke up, they were in an unfamiliar world. A luxurious room, strange clothes, and a medieval-style cityscape stretching outside the window.
Before long, they realize this world is the Kingdom of Eldia, the setting of the otome game "Fate of the Flower Crown."
According to Guest's knowledge, the Duke's daughter, Eleonora, is destined to be condemned at this ball and lose everything.
While visiting the Royal Astoria Academy with these thoughts in mind, the sound of an argument drifted from the courtyard.
Why are you so angry? I just wanted to help someone in trouble!
But I think there are things more important than those rules!
