"Tsk. I guess you can't hide your shallow bloodline."
At the familiar voice, Odette opened her eyes as if waking up from a dream.
At the same time.
"Cough, cough!"
She vomited blood. Her white hands instinctively covered her mouth and became soaked with dark red blood.
Odette, who had been staring blankly at it, slowly turned her gaze. The scenery before her eyes was a space that felt familiar yet very unfamiliar at the same time. This place was...
'...Count Albrecht.'
It was the place where he had been living as if she was trapped until two years ago.
'Why am I here? Just now I was...'
Odette felt her neck with her hands in desperation. Incredibly, her neck was still intact.
Hallucination? Or a revolving lantern?
Anything was impossible. Odette struggled to clear her mind of the mess.
Then, all of a sudden, an absurd hypothesis occurred to her.
'...Could it be that I'm back?'
Odette slowly raised her head, feeling her heart pounding like crazy. Her eyes met with a man who was looking down at her with a contemptuous expression.
The suspicions about the man's appearance gradually turned into certainty. The surroundings and the pain felt throughout her body were too vivid to be a hallucination.
The Count, perhaps thinking that she was dazed and out of her mind from the pain, gave a sharp order to his butler.
"Lock her back in the attic and don't give her a sip of water. Don't let her act like that again."
"Yes, Count. Don't worry. I'll tell the maid in the morning so she can teach her manners."
The count nodded and turned his back to the butler's firm answer.
Bang!
Dragged out by the butler and thrown out, she was soon locked alone in the empty attic.
Odette looked around with a bewildered expression.
"How could this happen...?"
She blurted out the words without thinking and was surprised at her own voice. She still had a tongue.
But that was nothing compared to what was happening now. Because.
"...I'm definitely dead."
Yes, she was definitely dead. Betrayed by her family, imprisoned, and eventually horribly beheaded by an axe.
Odette remembered clearly the feeling of her breath stopping and sinking into deep death.
And, didn't she come to a realization with that death?
She is a modern-day person who originally lived under the name of 'Han Su-wan' and was reincarnated into a 19+ reverse harem genre called <For the Only Savior>.
Odette Lina von Albrecht.
She was a villainess who pretended to be a fake purifier in the game, and her life ended as per the game's story.
"Why... did I come back again?"
Since she was alone in the attic, no one could possibly answer her. Nevertheless, Odette had no choice but to ask the question.
Because she was overwhelmed by the fact that such a strange thing had happened to him.
And soon.
"Ha, hahaha!"
A burst of laughter broke out.
It wasn't a crazy laugh. It was just a laugh that came out of pure joy.
Because she realized very clearly the answer to why she came back.
Not only did they make her suffer in pain for the rest of her life, but they also made her look like the worst villainess in the empire.
So, her family, Count Albrecht, was cursed by all the people of the empire and killed cruelly and unjustly.
It must have been a new opportunity for her, who had been treated like a fool by them.
"Foolish and stupid Odette. She was blinded by the first time she had ever been loved.
Ah, how sweet the an,e family was.
The people who made her, an orphan, the daughter of a Count's family.
But her unrequited love for them was no different from a beggar's begging.
To them, Odette was just a pretty, stupid doll that could be used and then thrown away.
Odette slowly closed her eyes and thought about her past life.
***
"Mom, I would like a pretty little sister as an awakening gift."
Ferdinand Maximilian von Albrecht, 15 years old, awakened as a D-class Transcendent.
The gift that the precious only son of the Count's family wished for was a younger sister.
The Countess, who loved her son so much, visited orphanages in all the slums to find a younger sister who would suit his tastes.
"She's the most with seeing. She's so delicate."
Among the dozens of orphan girls lined up in a row, Ferdinand pointed to one with his finger as if he were choosing an object.
Among all the children, a face that is uniquely pretty and fairy-like. Big eyes that seem to spill out, pure white skin, and a slender frame.
She has platinum blonde hair and beautiful blue-green eyes.
Odette, who is perfectly Ferdinand's taste.
"From today on, you must live for your brother. Since you're a younger sister, you must raise your brother's spirit!"
Odette, who became the noble lady that day, lived for her brother. To please Ferdinand both in appearance and in spirit.
"Hey, it's okay to laugh like this, brother?"
Six-year-old, little Odette was so happy to have a family.
So she did whatever her family wanted.
She will wear a girlish dress and speak in a high, clear voice.
A sharp tone of voice was a no-no. She had to wear a metal corset while sleeping to keep her skinny body in shape, and she had to laugh like an idiot.
Odette complied with all those conditions without a word, smiling.
For nine years, she was locked up in the Count's house as her brother's pretty doll.
When Odette was 15 years old, 'that thing' happened.
