[Prolog]
The stage was perfect.
The first floor of 'Dailing', the most famous and luxurious cafe in the empire.
Since it is a place frequented by many nobles, it is likely to be talked about by the rich.
Everyone held their breath when Duke Rudnine Iells appeared here as expected.
With beautiful black hair and dark eyes as dark as the night sky, he had an appearance that seemed to have been sculpted by God.
His tall stature, broad shoulders, and slender yet sturdy physique were all perfectly proportioned.
The young Duke, in his early twenties, was a handsome man who made anyone who saw him exclaim in admiration.
“This way, Your Excellency.”
An employee who immediately recognized Rudnine ran over and politely guided him in.
He followed the employee ahead with a gentle smile and long legs stretched out, striding forward.
"Ah."
One of the young ladies who had come to the cafe early in the morning to see Rudnine stared at him as if possessed, then collapsed, spewing blood from her nose.
“Oh my, Young Lady Meloby!”
“He is more beautiful and wonderful than rumors say... How graceful...!”
“That’s right!”
“That’s right. Why would someone like that...go on a blind date with such a vicious and ignorant Princess?”
The gathered young ladies were muttering among themselves.
At first, they lowered their voices to be careful, but the excited voices of the young ladies gradually grew louder and louder until they could be heard by everyone inside the cafe.
Rudnine was puzzled by the gossip that was ringing in his ears.
‘Princess... why are you just sitting there?’
He narrowed his eyes as he watched the woman looking out, her shiny silver hair neatly tied back in a half-updo.
Princess Yvonne Argenthoz.
She is the daughter of the Duke of Argenthoz and is an excellent sorceress, but she is rumored to be an arrogant, cruel, and wicked woman who does not know manners.
He couldn't understand how such a wicked woman could remain silent after hearing such gossip about her.
'Are you so deep in thought that you can't hear me?'
Rudnine turned his head to follow Princess Yvonne's gaze, wondering what she was looking at so intently.
The place where Princess Yvonne was sitting had the best view of the square fountain with its cool water gushing out.
Swish.
Princess Yvonne was staring at that very fountain.
The square fountain, built to praise the greatness of the Berwents, is a brilliant golden color, a symbol of the Berwents' bloodline.
Rudnain felt the bitterness and sadness in her clear purple eyes and swallowed a laugh inside.
'They say you can't forget the Crown Prince, and it seems it's really true.'
This stage was a blind date set up by the Duke of Argenthoz to cheer up his daughter, who was saddened by the Crown Prince.
'Please, meet my daughter in public. This is my wish.'
Duke Rudnine Iells came all the way from his northern lands to the capital to repay the debt his deceased father owed to Duke Argenthoz.
The family motto of the Duke of Iells is to never owe anyone anything, and if you do owe them, you must repay them.
Rudnine's father received help from the Duke of Argenthoz, but because the Duke of Argenthoz did not ask for anything in return, he spent his whole life in fear.
In the end, the late Duke Iells was unable to close his eyes in peace even as he died.
He even left his last will and testament to his son, Rudnine, who was watching over him on his deathbed, to make sure to repay his debt to the Duke of Argenthoz.
Property and debts are inherited.
Rudnine was planning to faithfully repay his father's debt of gratitude.
So here he is, on an official blind date with a woman who is considered the worst Princess in the empire, with a bad personality and a history of committing crimes.
Having become a Duke at a young age and been busy stabilizing and looking after the Iells' territory in the north, Rudnine came to the capital for the first time.
He didn't know much about the capital's situation, and it was his first time actually meeting the infamous Princess Yvonne Argenthoz.
However, he intended to leave the stage after trying to please Yvonne as best as he could, with as much sincerity and courtesy as possible.
No matter how arrogant she is, he will tolerate it all.
Princess Yvonne stared at the square fountain with a worried expression even as Rudnine approached the table.
Rudnine took a deep breath and called her.
“Princess Yvonne Argenthoz.”
"Ah."
When he called, Yvonne slowly turned her head.
As the sunlight hit her long silver hair, it shone brightly, and Rudnine, who was dazzled, closed her eyes slightly and then slowly opened them.
'Hmm.'
She is as beautiful as he heard.
It was clear that the evaluation of her beauty was downgraded because her reputation as a villainess was more prevalent.
Although her slightly upturned eyes and high nose showed a stubborn personality, she did not feel as vicious as he had thought.
Her clear purple eyes staring at him were so beautiful that his heart fluttered.
Still, he thought that he could enjoy this play to some extent, so he smiled gently and sat down in the chair opposite Yvonne.
“This is Rudnine Iells.”
“Hello, Your Excellency.”
Rudnine felt slightly disappointed when he saw Yvonne stiffly greeting him.
He smiled more gentlemanly and spoke softly.
“Looking at you, you are more beautiful...”
“I’m sorry for meeting you for the first time, Your Excellency.”
Yvonne suddenly cut him off and lowered her voice.
The look was so serious that Rudnine also became nervous.
“Can you lend me some money?”
The moment he heard Yvonne whispering to him with her hand over her mouth, Rudnine doubted his ears.
Isn't she such a shameless villain? Borrowing money from a man she had just met.
However, Rudnine opened his mouth involuntarily as he looked at Yvonne, who was staring at him in amazement.
Because the wicked Princess who politely extended both hands towards him and took a 'please' pose was so fatally cute.
It's a strange situation.
It's obviously absurd and ridiculous.
He didn't know why, but Rudnine was taking his wallet out of his jacket pocket without realizing it.
And an eerie foreboding crossed his mind.
He has a feeling that he will be stripped of everything by that wicked Princess.
At that time, Rudnine, the blind date, didn't know that 'heart' would be included in everything about him.
I always wanted to be a villainess, not a heroine.
Not the kind of foolish heroine who signs a contract as if possessed, only to discover the poisonous clause too late.
Even though everyone hates her and calls her a bitch, realistically speaking, I like the kind of villainess who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, or rather, a diamond spoon in her mouth.
In particular, what kind of character is the villainess in the romance novel?
Have you seen the poor villainess?
She is basically a high-ranking noblewoman by status, and has beauty, power, and wealth that rival the heroine's, but she is a (wonderful) older sister who ruins her life by pursuing her twisted desires due to her broken personality.
If the villainess doesn't step on the landmines of the female and male leads, where in the world can you find a life as sweet as this?
‘I got the diamond spoon just as I had hoped!’
When I opened my eyes to a new world, I was so moved that I covered my mouth as I looked at the gorgeous beauty reflected in the mirror.
Silver hair as blue as the moon in winter, intense purple eyes, and a faint water drop-shaped dot tattooed on the inside of my left wrist.
Incredibly voluptuous breasts, a slim waist, firm thighs, and amazing proportions.
I took a quick look at the chemise I was wearing.
Oh my god. Is it true that I just saw 11 abs?
This figure was clearly that of Princess Yvonne Argenthoz, the evil and cruel villainess and mastermind in the romance fantasy novel, “Cordelia’s Light.”
'She's a bit... a villainess with a lot of weight.'
I scratched the ball and thought of the original.
Yvonne, a wizard who had been harassing the heroine Cordelia Mare, who suddenly appeared in the empire, turns completely evil when she finds out that the male protagonist she liked ended up getting engaged to Cordelia, making a contract with the devil.
Originally, Yvonne was a great magician, but her demonic powers manifested strongly, and she became a great black magician. As cruel demons took over the world, the female and male leads suffered greatly.
But in the end, Yvonne, the ultimate villain, died a very, very, very, very, very cruel and brutal death, just like all villains end.
Yvonne's ending was so horrible.
'But who cares? I don't need that kind of ending anymore.'
Wouldn't it be okay for this evil sister to live a comfortable life without fostering evil desires and just using her abilities?
“Haha.”
I couldn't help but laugh.
Because Yvonne is the most powerful villainess I've ever read in a novel!
Of course, I was so excited.
Let's summarize this.
* Status: Youngest daughter of the Duke’s family, Princess.
Have you seen it? You can already feel it.
* Wealth: Owns many gem mines in addition to the Orichalcum mine owned by the Argenthoz family, and operates a top-tier sales business for magic items.
It means that she is so rich that I, a commoner, could not have imagined.
* Power: The Duke of Argenthoz' family. The father, the Duke of Argenthoz, is the Lord of Magic Tower.
Four families of Dukes are the founding fathers, and the Duke of Argenthoz is a family of magicians with a long history.
* Physical strength: Incredible.
This part is also very important.
Physical strength is essential for living.
It is said that Princess Yvonne Argenthoz rode a horse for a week without sleeping in pursuit of the runaway heroine Cordelia Mare, but her eyes were still sharp and unharmed.
* Ability: Archmage
It's such a waste of talent to harass the heroine with such great abilities and then die, destroying the world.
I never thought I'd turn into Yvonne, the villainess who made me swear a hundred times that I wouldn't write like that.
'It can't be a dream.'
I raised my hands and touched my cheeks, shaking slightly.
The sorrow of my past life came flooding back to me.
Well... It’s nothing special.
As an orphan growing up in an orphanage, I had no real blood family.
The company I got a job at as soon as I turned 20 only gave me a pitiful salary that didn't even allow me to breathe properly.
On top of that, I had a harassing hunter attached to me, and he followed me around like a stalker every day.
Life was nothing but hell. Have you ever been happy?
That doesn't mean I wanted to give up on life.
I lived in a goshiwon and went to work, and I saved and saved again.
Then, after five years, I finally purchased a two-room officetel.
Of course, it was an officetel built on the outskirts, far from the city center.
Although there were some reviews saying that the security was a bit concerning, I was still very happy.
Because I, who had never had a ‘home’, now have a ‘home’.
My greed, my wish to somehow create a shelter and a fence.
So was I making a poor judgment, or was I just unlucky?
Eventually, an accident occurred.
The stage was perfect.
The first floor of 'Dailing', the most famous and luxurious cafe in the empire.
