Looking at the busy streets I remembered how this world was unfamiliar to me 12 years ago . After waking up from a fall in which I hit my head, I remembered my past life .
I lived in a different world and was one of those lifestyle bloggers . Because of my career choice, I traveled a lot and knew many DIY stuff . Also, I absolutely loved j.a.panese culture . From the ancient j.a.panese with geisha and samurais to manga and games I would obsess about every single thing . Because of this, I read many manga and love to play otome games . My favorite one was "My 8 Male G.o.ds ~ Chase after Me" . I know the name is stupid but I liked please stop judging .
The game was about a commoner girl named Julia, who discovers one day she"s the daughter of a Baron . Her mother was a maid in the Baron household and after discovering that she was pregnant, she was "asked to leave" by the Madam . 14 years later the Baron looks for his illegitimate daughter and brought her back to the household . So that she could blend in the aristocratic circle, the Baron enrolled her in the Royal Academy . In this academy, Julia met many ikemens who held important positions inside the academy and were influential outside .
One of those ikemens was the Crown Prince, Albert Atherton . With the dashing looks, that I"m sure the designers spent hours working on, Prince Albert was the favorite route . Being the Crown Prince he excelled in everything he did, he was a proud young man who held a promising future .
However, something has to spoil this image right?
That something was his fiancée Cecile Dubois, the daughter of the Prime-Minister the Duke Dubois . Being spoiled since young she was your topical villainess and would hara.s.s you if you got involved with the prince . Of course, the prince didn"t care about her and would shower you with his affection .
And as a matter of course, when I woke up I realized that I was the most ~loved~ character Cecile Dubois herself! You can imagine my happiness (panic) when all the pieces clicked together in my mind . You see, the happy ending in Albert"s route the Dubois household is demoted and she"s exiled while in the bad one everyone in the household is sentenced to death . The only thing in my mind was: Say, ne, you did not need to be so ruthless right?
But well the solution to my future was very simple: Don"t EVER hara.s.s the female lead-sama .
As a vivid reader of manga/novels, I was well aware of how terrifying the aura of this b*tch is . And she is also equipped with the plot armor, there is no way a mere cannon fodder like me could be her opponent .
My only thoughts were: Yes, let"s keep a distance from her .
Furthermore, I absolutely loathed Prince Albert even before becoming Cecile . I could never understand why would an author create a sc.u.m man as a male lead . Why should he cheat on his fiancée? Sure she can be trash, but can"t you as the fantastic male lead first cut ties with her and then be together with b*tch lead-sama?
Fandom screamed: It is true love! The Villainess deserves!
True love my as*, no woman deserves this okay? Furthermore, he was supposed to be a gentleman even with that ice mask of his .
Because of this, although I knew how to have a loving relationship with my sc.u.m fiancée, I chose not to . Plus being a Queen must be so tiresome, is better to marry in a n.o.ble household with a good nature husband, then the treacherous royal household with a sc.u.m husband who only dislikes you because of the political marriage .
Resolving my priorities I started to plan .
Bid time, destroy engagement, create my business empire, destroy the smug face of my fiancée, be rich and willful so that I can be in peace wherever I am .
What a perfect plan, I must say .
For years bid my time, researching similar plants, flowers, wood, and foods in this world to the ones I knew in my past life . Going through the h.e.l.l Queen training I learned how to manage finances and people, the most perfect etiquette and response for the occasion . I started to build a relationship with merchants who pa.s.sed to offer their services in our house and save money for my upcoming business . All the preparations were done Dear Lord!
All to this moment! I will be finally free from the engagement!!
I can"t hold my smile .
I will finally open my stores and create my conglomerate dominating the country economy muahahahaha!
Ops, my dark side leaked a little bit, but well you get my drift right?
Now I need to get Father prepared for the upcoming battle for the parsimony and try to rob the royal family as much as we can So that I can have a larger budget for the stores *snicker*
