That day too, I returned home late at night after working overtime and froze as I opened the front door.
The house was in chaos.
A thief broke in.
When I witnessed the house being robbed, I ran out in a panic, thinking that the robber might be nearby.
At that moment, a driver who didn't see me suddenly ran out into the dark night and hit me, and I died in vain.
And I came back to life as the villainess in this novel.
'I like it. No, I rather dislike it.'
A spacious and luxurious room that boasts a level of opulence that cannot be compared to the two-room officetel where I lived.
Even the appearance was so dazzling that it hurt my eyes to look at it.
From the beginning, I liked celebrities with distinct features and charisma rather than innocent and pitiful celebrities.
The real Yvonne Argenthoz, whom I had only imagined through the author's writing, was truly my ideal type.
At 172cm tall, she has a model-like body, these firm thighs and 11-pack abs.
Perfection without any fat or anything.
Sister, take me.
'This is an opportunity!'
Having no regrets about my previous life, I clenched my fists, strengthening my will to live a new life.
I will do whatever it takes to survive quietly, eat well, and avoid causing any accidents!
“Uh, uh... My lady.”
While I was preparing myself in front of the mirror, the maid who had been stamping her feet from afar approached me cautiously and bowed deeply.
"Hmm?"
“That, that...!!”
I had only looked at her, but the maid trembled because she knew how bad Yvonne usually was.
I felt a little sorry for that sight.
The moment I opened my mouth to say something else, the door swung open violently.
“Yvonne!”
A sharp voice that was not loud but could send chills down one's spine was directed at me.
“Did you throw a bomb at Nasiel District again? Why on earth?! I don’t understand. Why did you do that?”
'A bomb on the Nasiel District?'
As I listened to the man's charismatic shouting, I recalled memories of Yvonne.
I remembered a scene where something was thrown at a large building.
Yvonne threw a bomb at a place called Nasiel District. No, I mean, me.
Before I could even recall the details and organize the situation, a middle-aged man strode into the room and stood in front of me.
'Oh my god.'
Is the middle-aged man standing in front of me really middle-aged?
My eyes were dazzled, and I stared blankly at him.
Beautiful silver hair and vivid purple eyes, just like Yvonne.
This middle-aged man, tall and very handsome in a black frock coat, had quite a presence.
He had a handsome face and upturned eyes that were just like Yvonne's, but he was so scary when he was angry.
Probably... the Duke of Argenthoz, the father of the villainess Yvonne.
“Why aren’t you answering? Are you trying to make excuses?! Or are you trying to run away again!”
Bang!
As the Duke struck the floor with the staff he was holding, a sharp noise echoed throughout the room.
Wow, wow. This is really scary.
Yvonne had such a scary father?
I didn't wish for a happy family for the villainess, but this is too brutal.
I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't even open my mouth, let alone answer.
“If you run away this time, your name will be struck off the list of Duke Argenthoz’s family!”
“Oh, Your Excellency!”
A man's voice was heard from behind, trying to stop the Duke.
I don't know who you are, but thank you, sob sob.
'I'm not going to run away.'
The Duke touched his forehead to the man who was trying to stop him, then suppressed his anger and continued speaking.
“This time, I really can’t forgive you. Be disciplined. You won’t be allowed to go out for the next month. Heed my words!”
Meeting the Duke's dazzling eyes, I gathered all my strength and answered loudly.
"Yes!!!"
"...what?"
“Yes, Your Excellency! I will not move from this room!”
Overwhelmed by the Duke's charisma, I answered loudly and confidently without realizing it.
"What."
The Duke blinked, surprised by my attitude, then narrowed his eyes and made a suspicious expression.
‘Are you suspicious because it’s so different from her original attitude? But...!’
In my past life, I worked with a mean male shooter at work who encouraged me to speak to him in a military-style, stiff tone.
In such a scary and difficult situation, the stiff tone of speech came out as a habit.
Even if I was suspected, I wanted to escape from this scary atmosphere for a while.
I instinctively clicked my tongue with a determined expression.
“I’m really good at it.”
“...What kind of trick are you talking about?”
"Yes?"
The Duke rubbed his temples with a complex expression of confusion and doubt, and then warned again solemnly.
“No matter how much you try to taunt me, I will never forgive you, so just stay home and pretend to be dead! If you step out of the house even one step, I will clear your name on the list! I’m serious!”
The Duke shouts out in a scary tone and then runs off with a man who appears to be his aide.
Silence fell over the room after the storm had passed.
"Ah..."
I was so shocked and resentful that I got scolded right away as soon as I got drunk.
Well, anyway, in my previous life, I was beaten by a hunter for ridiculous reasons all the time.
‘It’s about this much...’
As I was blankly staring at the door, my personal maid trembled and tried to comfort me.
“My Lady. The Duke... is excited right now. He will release you from your restraint soon, so hold on tight.”
“...”
"Please."
As I looked at the maid's pale face, memories of Yvonne faintly came back to me.
Whenever Yvonne was scolded by her father, the Duke, she would magically destroy the furniture in her room and injure the innocent maids and other employees.
As expected, a bird that leaks outside will leak inside, too.
She was a very cruel Princess in this mansion, too.
As I remained silent, speechless as I recalled the terrifying memories of Yvonne, the maid who had been standing far away, blinked and came closer.
“My Lady? Where does it hurt?”
I guess she thought it was strange that I didn't do anything even though I was scolded by the Duke.
I flinched, afraid that the maid would suspect me of something unnecessarily, and tried to make my expression as arrogant as possible.
Yvonne was beautiful, but her facial features looked cold when she had a blank expression, so even if she slightly raised her chin, the maid would start trembling again in fear.
I gave a short order, recalling how Yvonne usually spoke.
"Immediately."
“Yes, My Lady!”
“Bring me something sweet.”
"Yes...?"
"Many."
The maid, who had been tilting her head with her eyes wide open, quickly left the room when I gestured to her once more, and I just sat down on the spot.
In fact, the first time I encountered a Duke, I was so scared that I lost my mind.
It's nice to be possessed by a villainess with great abilities, but I didn't know I would have such a scary father, so I'm starting to worry a little about my future.
A week passed. I thought the Duke would come and scold me every day, but the Duke of Argenthoz, who was also the Lord of the Tower, was very busy and did not even come to see me.
And home confinement is...
'What the heck? It's heaven!'
It's a very wonderful and comfortable life.
If this is the kind of diligence I want to do forever, I want to hang on.
For a week, I rolled around in my room feeling like a newborn.
The room service meal delivered right to my nose was beyond compare to any meal I have ever had in my life.
With a spacious bathroom, massages from Yvonne's dedicated aesthetician, and a dressing room filled with beautiful accessories and clothes, there was never a dull moment.
I shed tears of joy every day because I had never been so relaxed and comfortable in my life.
Because I'm happy.
I was grateful to have become the rich and wonderful villainess Yvonne.
'What if I were possessed by the heroine Cordelia?'
Oh, that's creepy.
Looking back at the present time, the female protagonist Cordelia Mare is a hero who returned from eliminating demons with the male protagonist and begins to live a busy life surrounded by people.
I don't like the life of a busy heroine. I want to live a lazy life.
“Ah... It’s a great day to be a villainess.”
As I looked up at the clear blue sky beyond the window and muttered to myself, the maids waiting nearby trembled.
“Ahem.”
“I’ll bring you some fruit juice!”
"Yes."
I was afraid that my personality would suddenly change and my identity would be revealed, so I kept my mouth shut even to my dedicated maid, and enjoyed my smart and enjoyable self-quarantine at the Agenthoz Resort.
'Please keep me in quarantine forever. I'm not doing anything, but I want to do nothing more.'
But.
My wish to live happily ever after was mercilessly trampled by the butler who came to find me.
“My Lady, the Duke has called you. Please go to the office.”
'Shit.'
I, who had been lying on the bed like a corpse, suddenly jumped up from my seat.
It was as if the shooter, who had been on vacation, was going to call me back and take out his anger on me.
‘Don’t call me...’
I just grumbled inside.
Since I couldn't refuse the Duke's words, I quickly finished preparing and came out.
'Wow.'
As the fearsome Duke of Argenthoz had sternly warned me, I stayed quietly in my room.
So, this is my first time on this visit.
Although I only stayed in the room, I didn't experience any discomfort during that time.
Yvonne's room was so spacious that it couldn't even compare to the two-room apartment I had barely managed to get on the outskirts of the mountain, and it had everything.
I thought this was enough to live comfortably.
'Long live the villainess. Long live the villainess.'
As I walked down the halls of the Duke of Argenthoz's mansion, my eyes widened, and I cheered inwardly with great emotion.
'Awesome.'
High ceilings, wide hallways, numerous glass windows that let in soft sunlight, and elaborate and beautiful decorations that fill the hallway floors and walls.
How much would this mansion cost, with its hallways glowing with expensive magic stones embedded in every wall?
The mansion itself would be a tremendous asset.
This place was like a large art museum, with wonderful statues and paintings on display.
'It's so good. It's fantastic. I want to keep looking. I think it would be nice to just explore the mansion.'
The Duke clearly told me to stay home and stay at home, so I guess I can wander around the mansion a bit instead of just staying in my room.
With these thoughts in my mind, I continued walking towards the Duke's office.
Throughout the hallways hung banners bearing the emblem of the Duke of Argenthoz, a silver rose entwined with a staff, the symbol of the Duke of Argenthoz.
The Argenthoz are a founding family of the Bervent Empire, who defeated the monsters that ran rampant throughout the continent.
This family has always had children with exceptional magical abilities, and Yvonne was one of them.
It was so great that it was excessive and became the ultimate mastermind.
As I looked at the family crest, something occurred to me that I had never really thought about before.
'Come to think of it. I'm a wizard, right? How do I use magic?'
As I spent my time leisurely at this comfortable Argenthoz resort, I never felt the need to use magic.
The house was in chaos.
A thief broke in.
When I witnessed the house being robbed, I ran out in a panic, thinking that the robber might be nearby.
At that moment, a driver who didn't see me suddenly ran out into the dark night and hit me, and I died in vain.
