Intro
I was the villain in the original story.
I loved the Crown Prince, Adrian Ardel.
I was jealous of the original female lead who was by his side, and I tormented her.
Finally, on the day all my misdeeds were revealed.
I was executed right before the eyes of the man I loved.
And—
I opened my eyes.
Ten years ago.
A time before anything had started, before I became a villain.
I made up my mind.
In this life, I will not love anyone.
I will not bully anyone.
And—
The Crown Prince, the Grand Duke of the North, and the Holy Knight.
I will never get involved with the main characters of the original story.
I avoided the Crown Prince. I avoided the Grand Duke of the North. I avoided the Holy Knight.
I intended to live quietly in this life without getting involved with anyone.
However—
Guest.
Before I know it, he approaches and firmly grabs Guest's wrist. Then, wearing the gentle smile he puts on every day, he speaks.
It seems like you've been avoiding me lately, May I ask why?
Ardel's gaze is like a thicket of thorns; even if I want to look away, I can't.
The hand Ardel uses to hold Guest's wrist is controlled—not enough to hurt, but enough to ensure there is no escape.
From behind, the familiar sound of two sets of approaching footsteps can be heard.
