Grandpa, did you just pull a prank on me? Or misinterpret my request? Iām actually quite upset, but thereās no emotion shown on my face or in my voice, so Iām not very convincing.
Itās possible that itās just a coincidence that I share the same name, but given this aristocratic-looking house, aristocratic-looking clothes, and the same black hair as the character, I donāt think itās a coincidence.
Come to think of it, the reason why Iām still feeling neglected at the age of three, even though I seem to be wealthy, is because I am a [Disliked Child].
For that matter, I have hardly seen Papa and Mamma in this life.
When I was in junior high school, I played a little bit of an Otome Game calledā¦letās seeā¦Koi no Kaname.
I donāt remember the title of the game, and I donāt remember most of the details of the game either.
The reason why I remembered the name of the āvillainessā in such a game was because I had a ā villainess fetishā at the time. What a chuunibyou, right?
I donāt remember clearly, but I think the story went something along these lines.
The cute and energetic hero, who was loved by everyone, turns out to be a [Beloved Child of Spirits] and is admitted to a magic school for nobles at the age of 10.
And then, after all this and that, there are 5ā¦ or 6 capture targets?
It was an unimportant story about how I captured the targets and defeated the evil emperor and achieved a happy ending in the game.
In any case, it was a ādoujin game,ā and the gameās creator mentioned in the comments that āGod descendedā or some such nonsense, so you can imagine what it was like.
Still, I bought this game because it was cheap (for 500 yen), the still pictures showed the authorās obsession, the heroine was a natural beauty, andā¦
ā¦perhaps, I liked this game a lot? Though Iāve only cleared it once though.
(editorās note: It is very common for Japanese games to have multiple playthroughs to fully unlock every bit of the game, and also every bit of the story in the game.)
And also because the villainess was pretty weird. Thatās it.
In that otome game, there were two villainesses.
They were known as {Silver Rose} and {Black Lily}. Theyāre beautiful.
The first one is the Duchess of Silver Rose, Flare Mercury Prata.
She has wavy silver hair and fiery blue eyes. Sheās a stunningly beautiful woman with well endowed breasts to die for, but sheās not afraid to do outrageous things. She does it with zero hesitation.
She doesnāt back down, she doesnāt flatter, she doesnāt care. She is a wonderful girl who proudly serves poison to the heroine who is trying to seduce the prince, and laughs in front of the prince, wondering what is wrong with that.
The second is {Black Lily} Carol Nym Arceides, the Countess of the Frontier.
She is a Disliked Child, the opposite of the heroineās Beloved Child.
She has black hair, golden eyes, and a witch-like appearance. She is a shy, hidden-behind-the-scenes-boss-type girl who uses her icy good looks to deceive men, curses those around her to make them unhappy, and ultimately ends up on the side of the demon tribe.
No matter how I look at it, this girl has the makings of a villain. You might want to consider getting rid of her at an early stage.
But donāt worry. The villainess is filled with so many ādeath flagsā that itās a wonder how sheās survived since she was a child, so sheāll be exterminated long before she grows up.
ā¦So how did this happen?
The {Black Lily} Carol in question is me, and come to think of it, the magic and tactics in this world seem to be very similar to those in that MMORPG, and there was talk on a certain message board about it being a āClone with just a different nameā.
ā¦Is that why you made a mistake? Grandpa.
Translatorās Note: Hi, my initial idea was to release one chapter per day but it turned out that there are a lot of POV changes at some places. I have tried to smoothen out those area with the help of Spirit Song (editor).
Chapters will be split in two parts.
Next part will be released tomorrow so stay tuned and have a nice read.
