Author: LyraDhani\nI clicked my tongue and asked Roseanne what she was doing.
âWhat brings you here?â
ââŠI stop by to see what youâre doing.â
Roseanne must have heard that I said I found Libby.
Therefore, she must have come to Theresa with such a firm expression.
Besides, I was changing rooms, so you wouldnât be able to get anything without checking it with me for yourself.
âI feel pressured to use this room. Itâs the best room, shouldnât Libby use it?â
Roseanne had a solemn posture with her hands clasped together neatly like a Duchess, but at my words, she scratched her delicate skin with her fingernails, revealing her agitation.
If the nails were just a little sharper, they would surely have left scars.
As such, Libby was a lump deeply engraved on Roseanneâs chest.
âEven if Libby comes back⊠You should use this room. Youâre Squireâs eldest daughter.â
The corners of Roseanneâs lips were trembling thinly as she said that.
The gaze staring at me was filled with deep distrust and doubt, and the pretty light green eyes were darkened.
It was sad, but I had no special sympathy.
It wasnât my family anyway, and the people here even threatened Theresa.
When Libby returned, there would be more candidates for the Dukeâs successor.
Theresa, who had no special features other than being the eldest daughter, would quickly be pushed out of the candidate list of succession.
But with the public eye, they couldnât just drag her down from the candidate list so they would somehow create a decisive flaw.
In the original scenario, Theresa was excommunicated from the family and had a miserable end.
âEven if it has nothing to do with the family, Roseanne will not stand still if she thinks that Therese is a threat to her daughter.â
I worked pretty hard on the Duchessâs setup.
A mother who looks kind and gentle, but can put blood on her hands for her children.
Even if it means killing her stepdaughter.
It meant that even if I survived at the Duke of Squire, I could die unknowingly at the hands of the Duchess.
There was definitely a route like that.
So I had to get out of the Duke of Squire safely.
And⊠to be honest, I didnât want to do anything to look good to someone who wasnât even my family anymore.
âIâd be much happier if these people just go away.â
I opened my mouth calmly.
Roseanne showed a surprised look as if she had been caught off guard.
It was because Theresa only referred to Roseanne as Duchess and had never called her Stepmother before.
However, I used the title of Stepmother not to come to my senses or to take a dramatic reconciliation route.
âYou donât have to try to do anything for me. I have no desire to be friendly with my family anyway.â
It was just to draw the line more clearly.
âThat doesnât mean weâre going to have unnecessary warfare.â
It meant that we should treat each other only to the extent of a sense of duty that was inevitably intertwined under the guise of blood relatives.
It seemed strange to see Therese, who was always violent and vicious and demanding more than she should, showing a cool attitude, so Roseanne couldnât stay calm.
She looked at me with more alert eyes.
It was Theresa who had been harassing her more than anyone else so far.
Who are you, trying to be my mother? She had been aggravating the discord in the family by arguing that she dared to pose as a duchess.
I couldnât just act as if those things never happened.
In order to convince the opponent, a more Theresa-like idea was needed.
âStepmother has won.â
ââŠWhat do you mean?â
âI lost. I used the successorâs room, but I didnât end up as the successor, did I? But what if Libby comes back?â
In fact, Libby easily became the Dukeâs successor.
It was a necessary part of the story progression.
âWho would like it if you suddenly possessed a character and were offered a successor position to take charge of the Dukeâs fortune?â
Instead, itâs much better to be a second-generation chaebol because it means having a lot of money with no responsibilities.
I shrugged my shoulders lightly.
âIâm thinking of getting out of here. So what does it matter if I hand over the successorâs room or not?â
âYouâre leaving the house?â
Roseanne looked completely incredulous.
It was only natural. Theresa was the one who wouldnât stay in the dorm even if she died.
The dormitory was also designed very nicely, but in the eyes of Theresa, a noble aristocrat from birth, it must have looked like a commonerâs villa.
It was ridiculous to compare the dormitory with the Dukeâs residence in the first place
It was two completely different things. Completely different.
âYes, Iâd like to apply for the Valhalla dormitory. I wonât be back home until I graduate.â
Valhalla was the name of the magic school Theresa attended.
<Godâs Play> adopted your average school story plots.
It was a fantasy magic academy thing.
The scene of the capital that seemed to be a collection of only beautiful buildings in Europe.
White pigeons playing in the sky.
A clock tower in the square.
The magic school where the heroine attended operated like a university, but I couldnât give up on school uniforms.
âNo matter how you see it, itâs an academy story.â
And with the male lead candidatesâ love.
Adventures were added as sweeteners.
As Ozworld said, it was a typical cliché, but it was also a guaranteed big hit.
Of course, it was only if I played the heroine.
Theresa was a senior, a fourth-year student at the magic school.
Libby, who would enter as a freshman, would only be in school for one year, but it was nothing to be relieved about.
The game only dealt with that one year.
Two of the male lead candidates were in the same fourth year as Theresa, so this was an inevitable choice in terms of the story.
This was because there was a very strong opinion among the developers that they could not give up the student council president and the vice student council president as male lead candidates.
âOf course. Itâs an academy story, so they canât give up the student presidentâs character.â
I made eye contact with the employees who were watching this situation.
âWhat are you doing? Arenât going to finish the room before Libby arrives?â
âM-move the furniture this way. Push the carpet!â
Only then did the employees pretend to be focused on their work again, and everyone avoided my eyes.
âStepmother, please look over them. Iâll go to the room.â
After being properly courteous, I quickly left the room as if I had no regrets at all.
At first glance, I could feel Roseanne staring at me, but it was none of my business.
âAh, Iâm hungryâŠâ
This was inevitable because I didnât eat anything until now after waking up.
[The Constellation âFinding Mukbang BJâ has sponsored 100 coins.]
[Please eat something ă
Iâll buy you 500 coins.]
T/L note: ă
is a crying emoji in case ya all donât notice.
I have to eat anyway, so should I just do it?
I called an employee passing by.
âHey there, wait a minute.â
The employee rushed to me with a look of fear.
âYes, please tell me.â
âBring me something to my room.â
The employee quickly got out of my sight, relieved that it was just a trivial matter.
âWell⊠Is this the life of a villainess?â
Even though Iâve been treated as a funny person, itâs the first time Iâve ever seen someone fear me.
âItâs not about succumbing to dignity, itâs about avoiding a time bomb that might explode.â
Anyway, I kind of liked the fact that she was not a character that could be easily ignored.

[The Constellation âLawful Goodâ frowns.]
âThis channel just opened yesterday, but there seem to be a lot of people watching it?â
[The Constellation âExplanation Bugâ have sponsored 100 coins.]
[Yes yes since itâs the Ozworldâs channel, heâs super famous among the channel managers.]
âThat punk⊠No, that manager is super famous?â
[Some of the Constellations like BJâs punk remark.]
[The Constellation âKick Out the Handsome Managerâ giggles, asking if Ozworldâs face sales power is over.]
Arenât the Constellations supposed to be like GodsâŠ?
Even that kind of being seemed to be jealous of the appearance of others.
âWell, just looking at the nicknames that have popped up so far, theyâre not normal.â
Rather than transcendent beings, I felt like they were just viewers of the Earth.
âI called him a punk by mistake, but Iâm glad the response was good.â
I went back to my room and checked the current situation.
âFirst of all, this.â
I checked todayâs date earlier after moving the room.
There were about two weeks left until the entrance ceremony for freshmen on March 1.
Till then, I would along well without any problem, and when I entered the dormitory, my entanglement with the Squire family was over.
âI have no choice but to be involved with Libby.â
If I took her to a place where the male leads often appeared and let her be, she would do well on her own.
The servants opened the door as I stood in front of the door at the end of the hall.
When you enter the room, you can see the middle door with a drawing room much larger than my single room.
If you open the middle door and enter it, a bedroom larger than the drawing room appears.
The mansion of an aristocrat is very luxurious.
I ordered the maids who were following me into the bedroom to stay outside.
There was something I needed to check by myself.
I sat on the sofa in a relaxed position that would have made Raul scold me if he had seen it.
âMoney and power are good.â
[The Constellation âChaotic Evilâ actively agrees.]
[The Constellation âLawful Goodâ frowns.]
I donât know exactly what kind of channel Ozworld deals with, but itâs certainly the opposite of the lawful tendency.
âWhy are you coming into a channel where BJ is the villainess in the first place?â
It was a minor question, but that wasnât the point now.
