The Villainess’ Beloved Plan: The Struggles to Avoid a Doomed End

On the deck, twinkling lights were lit and an elegant waltz played by a string quartet was playing.

The sea seen from there was a deep dark color, as if dripping ink under the night sky.

McKeel had said that the sea was beautiful at night, but to Sophia it looked like a bottomless swamp where nothing could be seen, and she was even afraid that something eerie might jump out from the bottom of the sea.

Instead the silvery, almost circular moon in the sky was beautiful, but she was not sure whether she should love the night sky and the sea spread out before her eyes as “beautiful” or fear them as “eerie”.

Orion, Isolte, and Johannes did not attend today’s dance party.

Sophia danced one song with Randall, then she was invited to dance two songs with Kyle, and after that she danced one song with McKeel.

After dancing four songs, Sophia was tired and decided to take a rest in a room near the deck, which was open to the public as a rest room.

In addition to the rest room, a cigarette room was available for the men, so the room where Sophia was resting was almost entirely occupied by women.

The waiter was going around with snacks and drinks, and Sofia accepted a small sandwich and a glass of white wine. She ate her sandwich at a table by the window and listened to the gorgeous music she could hear.

Randall and Kyle were surrounded by ladies the moment Sophia left their side.

To her annoyance, Randall is so brusque that he always frowns at Sophia, but he is very amiable to the ladies who speak to him on such occasions. Most aristocratic men are generally kind to women, based on the unspoken rule that “it is troublesome to offend women,” and Randall seems to be no exception–even if he knows that it is a social call.

‘He never smiles at me.’

Sitting by the window, Sophia could see the expression on Randall’s face, and it made her feel uncomfortable.

‘I know that Randall didn’t want to marry me, and I don’t blame him, but I don’t want him to be too affectionate with everyone around him.’

Randall has a well-defined face, is tall, and most importantly, he is a duke, which makes him terribly popular. If Randall were to accidentally fall in love with someone, just the thought of it would make her blood boil.

Well, perhaps because Randall is a capture target, his attention seems to be on Keira, the heroine of “The Snows of Glastona,” so for better or worse, it would be hard for a third party to intrude into the situation.

In that light, how could she marry Randall, even though she cried off at her father, the king?

The story is slowly but surely moving away from the setting at the beginning of “The Snows of Glastona,” almost two years later, she married Randall and went on their honeymoon. It’s good progress, but it’s not a relief either, she wants to get Randall’s attention somehow, but the real world is not so easy. Randall is cold and quick to anger, and when Sophia gets angry, she starts talking back, which leads to fights, so it’s even worse.

‘I wish there was a love potion or something. …… Oh, by the way, it wasn’t a Randall event, but it was Cyril’s event “Love potion.” You get two stills, one from “The Witch’s Legacy” and one from “False Love.”

There is no magic in this world, but there is something called “witch”. They were active until a few decades ago, and mainly sold “magic potions” with mysterious effects.

In Cyril’s route, there was an event in which a love potion made by these witches appeared.

‘Love potion, I love it. I hope Randall will get delirious soon…..No, I still have a long way to go.’

According to Orion and Arena, Randall’s tsundere is too strong. It’s not easy to get “dere”. And Sophia is a villainess. She is not a heroine. Where on earth is the “dere”?

(TL: I don’t understand what this sentence means so I couldn’t edit it)

Sophia swallowed her sandwich with a gulp and exhaled, and her eyes lit up when she saw the waiter carrying millefeuille filled with strawberries.

‘Enough, let’s not think about it. I’m craving. I want to eat millefeuille.’

Sophia received a plate of millefeuille from the waiter. The millefeuille in the center was surrounded by fresh cream, mint leaves, and cut fruits.

Sophia was impressed by the light sound when she stuck her fork into the mille-feuille, and she took a big mouthful of it, hoping that Randall was not watching her.

“Mrs “Lady Sophia, your husband wants to see you.” ”

Sophia had just finished eating her millefeuille and was debating with herself whether or not to get a new piece of chocolate cake when Cedric called out to her.

She was so engrossed in the millefeuille that she did not notice, but sure enough, she could not see Randall outside the window. Neither was Kyle.

“Randall…… no, is my husband calling for me?” Sophia is still embarrassed to call Randall “husband Cedric smiled and nodded when she asked him back, fiddling with a napkin on the table to hide her embarrassment”.

“Let me guide you there “”

Sophia nodded and stood up.

Sophia did not notice that McKeel looked back at her and the others suspiciously as they passed each other on their way out of the room with Cedric.
