The ballroom is always cramped. My clothes and the people’s gaze on me are so heavy that sometimes it weighed me down.
This was especially the case today.
As soon as I entered the ballroom without anyone notice my presence, I opened the curtains of the terrace. The moment I stepped there and the outside air comes in direct contact with my skin, I felt better.
It would be reckless to wait for the ball to end at this rate. It’s obvious that the chilly weather would make the ball stays a little longer than usual. It’s about the dignity of the nobility.
At the moment, I was in a good mood. I closed my eyes.
Then the light pouring out onto the dark terrace.
It was rude to enter the terrace when the curtains were closed, and it’s obvious who would commit such a discourteous act.
“Nocton?”
How did you know I was here?
An unexpected face greeted me when I turned over.
She has a long brown hair. A woman with a stunningly white dress came in and closed the curtains tightly.
“It wasn’t—”
“I’m sorry, Roa. I wanted to be polite, but I need to talk to you.”
“What’s going on, Alice?”
It’s Alice Limorand. A friend of mine for ten years. She’s the heroine of a novel, the precious Duke’s daughter who used to be a Baron’s, who will be betrothed to my childhood friend, Nocton Edgar.
I didn’t mean it as metaphor. It was an unbelievable story, but I was reborn in a book’s world and she is the main character.
Her beautiful angelic face, good personality, and the dramatic changes in her background were proving Alice’s status. I have no doubt that she is the heroine.
Why would Alice come to me with such a hesitant face?
All I could think of was a funny guess, and I laughed dimly. I don’t love Nocton but there are too many people in the world who are mistaken. It’s sad to hear that even my precious friend is one of them.
We’ve been together for a dozen years, and I’ve been trying hard enough to get close to him, so no one really believed me when I deny it.
“Alice, I’m telling you, I—”
But what came out from Alice’s lips is not something that I expected. It was not an apology that said
I’m sorry, I can’t help it.
“I know it sounds crazy, but actually I have a foresight.”
“Huh?”
What are you talking about?
Before I can proceed what she had said, she exclaimed with a determined look.
“Duke Edgar is a terrible villain!”
Uh, wh—what? What?
I realized that I was born in a book’s world as the villainess who bullied the heroine. It’s a predictable story so what the villain would do is really obvious.
She starts with trivial things such as insulting the heroine, spraying water, finding fault with her etiquette, and later carries out the assassination of the protagonist.
Of course, the male lead does not close his eyes.
In fact, Edgar’s character rakes out the sins that the villainess had committed and puts her in the fire.
I remember a little bit of what it was described in.
“
She was eaten by a flame that more red than her hair.”
Is it okay for an all-year-old novel?
I thought it was cool when I read it, but it was a completely different matter when it became myself.
Of course, I didn’t have the confidence to do so even if I was told that I could live viciously.
Sometimes I get irritated and angry, but at a common level.
The only things that are not common are my mean cat-like eyes.
Although I can live as rationally as an adult, but my child’s body is a default setting.
However, no one can be sure what the future would be like.
Maybe the original story is based on fate and I would act like a girl crazy in love and try to kill Alice.
In the beginning, being reincarnated in a book was something I couldn’t possibly expect, how can I be sure that there will only be common sense since then?
It made me feel uncomfortable to think of such a thing. I thought that if I had a close relationship with
him
, I would be able to avoid the burn.

To be honest, I had to rely on the protagonist.
Although the hero’s love story was not particularly memorable, but by the nature of the romance genre, the male lead would be the most perfect man in the novel. Appearance, background, abilities, and love.
Maybe I can take away the lead role.
With that kind of ambitious desire, I decided to approach Nocton Edgar.
