The meeting between Serena and Crown Prince Noah was the source for my death in the continuation of the story. It would be like so as it was the meeting between all the main characters.

So there was no way I could stop them from encountering. In the first place, all students were told to gather at the banquet hall.

“Oh, what a beautiful flower.”

But how can I hand this pretty Serena to that wretch?

Of course, Noah was an infinitely kind character towards Serena, but that was only directed to her only.

I had a strong urge to separate the two forever, even at the moment, but I don’t think I could succeed in overturning such a big development in the state of being a mere villain.

Somehow, Serena would fall in love with the Crown Prince, and I’m sure my neck would again be sliced off for a quite stellar reason.

And then I’ll go back again…

I was in good condition, whether I could succeed or not.

There will definitely be reincarnation if things go as the original, so I’d rather do what I want then die.

“Elinda, what are you worried about?”

Serena suddenly asked, waving her hand near my face. I shook my head immediately.

“No, it’s not like that.”

“You looked happy until just a while ago, but now you seem to be drooping. Are you sure you’re alright?”

Her blue eyes overflowed with anxiety.

Serena was very quick to sense other people’s feelings. It was in the same context of how I didn’t forget things once I memorized them.

“Well, actually, this is an ability I possess.”

Yeah, this was Serena’s ability. Serena’s expertise to lead the story 〈Heal Me, Lady.〉

Serena’s magic was specialized in reading other’s emotions.

Of course, the range was limited, but the fact that she could accurately read the emotions of Noah, the crown prince, was considered the female protagonist’s Buff.

So what kind of ability was the villain, Elinda Maleficent, capable of?

Sadly, Elinda Maleficent possessed no special abilities. If there were any, it would be the influence of the ‘Maleficent’ family.

I’m also worried about the fact, although this body isn’t mine.

“Ability?”

“So…”

Serena ceased speaking and bit her lips.

In the original, Serena claimed she didn’t want to reveal her abilities to anyone, as she thought to be at fault for possessing them.

“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”

I know all your abilities anyway.

After I recited my words wisely while smiling lightly, Serena widened her eyes and glanced at me.

Then, she gradually curled her eyes and smiled, which was very difficult for me to watch.

To Serena, I’m the first person she met today, so it’d be embarrassing to hug her out of nowhere.

Patient, you must be patient.

“I’m glad I had a chance to speak to you.”

“Huh?”

“To me, you’re a very nice person.”

She replied while handing me a flower she plucked out. I clumsily accepted.

At first glance, the golden petals seemed reminiscent of Serena’s hair.

“The petals resemble the color of your eyes.”

“…!”

“It’s pretty, Elinda.”

She rolled her lips gently. It was a smile as bright as the morning sun.

Perhaps Serena remembers her life in the original and is taking revenge on me for torturing her.

Maybe that’s why she’s trying to end my life with a heart attack.

“Ah, shouldn’t we enter now?”

Serena opened her mouth as she watched the flocking students slowly surface.

As she said, it seemed time to enter the banquet hall.

Then, the story would start in earnest.

If we enter the banquet hall right now, she’ll meet all the main characters, including today’s event with Prince Noah.

Noah will act indifferent when Serena, whom he will sit behind, receives everyone’s attention.

‘What’s with the racket.’

The very scene where he’ll talk for the first time and fall in love with Serena.

Now I see you’re just a bluffing king. What did I like about him while I was reading the story?

“We’ll still be friends even if we’re in different classes, right?”

Serena asked me with fixed eyes. It seemed she didn’t pay mind to the students who looked toward us openly.

It won’t happen anyway, but I nodded in response.

“Of course.”

Even if you steal my fiance. No, honestly, I think he’d better just go.

If Serena, who became close to me this lifetime, refuses the crown prince because he was her friend’s man, Noah would probably try to kill me for that very reason.

Haha, the more I think about it, the crazier he is.

I strode away, painstakingly ignoring the students staring at us.

At this point, Serena would have noticed my negative feelings, yet she just walked by my side silently.

“If we had left our luggage, it would have been trouble. Right?”

Serena asked with a rather attractive smile.

Unlike before, the doors of the banquet hall were wide open.

The original story had been twisted little by little since the morning, however, this would not do much as even a scratch to the ending.

Maybe it would go wrong with Serena.

Of course, she wouldn’t betray me first, but there is a chance.

Serena abandons me because of Noah… Then I’d be a little sad…

Because of that wench, you and I…

“In what way am I inferior to that kid…”

“Hm?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

After fiercely narrowing her eyes, Serena let go of me.

Even this couldn’t have been so pretty. Damn it, Serena. Do whatever you want!

I smiled faintly. Following me, Serena beamed and grasped my hand gently.

Amiable warmth seeped into my skin and began to dye myself to the very tip of my head.

“It’s all right, Elinda.”

It’ll be alright.

Her clear, pure voice faded into my ears.

It was an infinitely warm voice as if she already knew everything.

She was clueless, but that in itself it was comforting.

“Oh, there are so many people.”

Soon afterward, as I entered the banquet hall holding Serena’s hand, the noisy banquet hall hushed as if it hadn’t been.

It was the moment the appearance of the heroine activated.

“We must be too late.”

“No, it’s not like that…”

It’s because of you.

It was the moment I was leading Serena’s hand to grab a seat.

Abruptly, the crown prince jumped up from his seat and made his way towards our direction.

What all of a sudden. Are you trying to approach Serena differently this time because the banquet hall that was supposed to be noisy was now quiet?

It was already wrong to go back to the original, now that I had confronted the man who was my father.

‘Be as it is.’

It was the very moment I let go of Serena’s hand that I held.

“Elinda Maleficent.”

How dare you run away after doing such a thing to me.

The crown prince Noah grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me toward him. His mouth was covered with a gentle smile.

What? He’s crazy.

“Elinda?”

Serena, who had no idea of the sudden situation, tilted her head for a moment, then let out a small sigh after she saw the crown prince’s red eyes.

She even clenched her fists as if to cheer me up.

No, Serena. It’s not what you think it is.

“Now, wait a minute… The entrance ceremony will begin very soon…”

“You want your head cut off right now for blasphemy, don’t you?”

You’re not going to kill me here anyway. I know everything, dude.

Although I tried to force my strength against the power of the crown prince while pulling outward, it was unfortunately not enough to overcome the power of the man who had been training for years.

For this very reason, I had to be dragged to the slaughterhouse like an ugly cow.

You know this is violence, dude? Well, you wouldn’t know. How can a noble and foolish prince know such a fact?

I thought about using magic for a while but then let go.

There was no need to make a fuss from the first day.

The reason was that I wanted to look good in front of Serena and that if she watched this, she would have a negative perception of the crown prince.

“You know what you did wrong.”

Soon after, the crown prince, who left the banquet hall and reached the deserted corridor, asked, letting go of my wrist.

I shook off my tingly hand and frowned.

“First of all, the entrance ceremony is about to begin, and I understand being here is a big mistake.”

“Now you’re being bolder. I’m seriously asking, Are you crazy?”

“What kind of status do you have in the Academy?”

It would be the same for you as it would for me if we were late.

After I replied flatly, the prince’s expression became nicely distorted.

I would have to look crazy in his eyes. Elinda Maleficent in the crown prince’s memory would not have acted like this until yesterday.

“You must want your head cut off.”

“It’s just a matter of debating people’s lives with this kind of thing, after all.”

“What?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

I shrugged my shoulders. The wrinkles on the crown prince’s forehead deepened.

If anyone saw this expression, they would be extremely fascinated, it’d be hard for them to breathe.

Sadly, Noah also possessed a seriously good-looking appearance since he was the male lead.

Of course, I threw all his looks away because of his personality.

“And the Crown Prince, who was originally deemed to be educated separately in the royal palace, was thrown here because of an incident he had been involved in.”

“…”

“The fact that no support could be obtained from the royal family for the next three years. I’m well aware of that, Your Highness.”

Of course, this was a top-secret that no one knew but the Imperial family knew of, but am I someone after all. I will become a reader who will penetrate even the inner side of the characters.

When I held in my laughter and modified it into a pretty, fresh smile, the crown prince flinched his eyebrows noticeably.

This accident occurred because of a certain boy who was not having a very nice conversation and ended up strangling his subordinate’s neck.

It was a simple happening that had not led to anything serious, but the emperor, who wished his son to become a strong man, eventually kicked the crown prince out of the palace to find out about the world, and this was the result.

He was admitted to the Empire’s only academy, with both minorities and commoners attending.

However, I don’t think it was socialized enough to satisfy the emperor’s wants and needs in the original.

“You, how did you…”

Noah’s red eyes shook in a flash. It wasn’t a bad sight to perceive.

No matter how educated he was, he was still a 15-year-old boy.

Of course, that great personality doesn’t go anywhere when he becomes an adult.

“But if you want to be treated like a prince, there’s nothing you can’t do.”

You should try.

I laughed lightly with my innermost thoughts covered, and he started messing his hair as if he didn’t know what to do.

I seemed to realize that my threats would not work.

“If you continue to stick to me, you’ll be filled with regret the minute you graduate.”

“Then I’ll have to work hard here. I’m going to die anyway, right?”

Even when I lived normal, I died in your hands.

“Maybe you’re really crazy.”

“Why shouldn’t I be crazy? Will you break up with me?”

Then I’ll welcome you with welcoming hands.

I closed my lips on purpose and blinked innocently.

If I could make the Crown Prince angry, it would be a very rewarding day.

“…You’re acting like you want to break up.”

“I’ll give you permission any time, Your Highness.”

The crown prince’s expression became vaguely distorted by what I said.

As I looked at his mouth, I shrugged my shoulders at the applause from the Banquet Hall.

Oh, the entrance ceremony must have started.

“Well, I’ll be on my way. You can find it yourself, right?”

I’m sure you’re not that stupid. I started to run fast after I let out a laugh of ridicule towards him. It was a total disaster now.
