✔DROP!! A TALE OF THE FRAGRANCE PRINCESS

Volume 1, Act 01: Cordelia

Platinum blonde hair and white skin. She had red pupils with pink irises, the signature of her houses magical heritage. Those who saw her, who strongly inherited the unique features of Earl Pameradias House, would unanimously say, Shes exactly like a fairy, in praise.

She was Cordelia Enna Pameradia.

She was the youngest sibling out of four in Earl Pameradias House and the second daughter. She was raised while being showered in praise ever since she was born into this world, and there were whispers that she would one day marry the Prince, who was close to her in age. It didnt matter how young Cordelia was, nor if the person herself had no intention of marrying him.

Yes, Cordelia had no intention of marrying the Prince. Even though she was born as one of the kingdoms nobles, and in addition to that, she was a daughter of one of the most prominent Earl families. No matter how honourable she was taught it was ―――, no, instead, she was informed that it was her duty to do so.

Cordelia was aware of the fact that 『she wasnt normal』.

She possessed memories from her previous life.

She was three years old when she remembered it.

As her consciousness was hazy from suffering the nightmares of the epidemic, memories of her being 『Japanese』began to flow into her mind, one after another. As a result, her brain screamed, and she hovered at the border of life and death for about ten days She could certainly say that her life had been extended because of that, since if things went the way they were, then the future where she killed herself would come.

Yes, her situation also existed in the frightening memories that she had recalled. No, to be more accurate, it was the her who would grow up to become an adult.

『Cordelia』was in a game she had played in her previous life; to be more specific, it was a game that had a heroine and beautiful young men In short, she was the 『Selfish Villainess Ojou-sama』that appeared in love simulation games.

The 『Cordelia』in the game was gorgeous, but she wasnt suited to her appearance. She was an extremely nasty person with a lot of pride. She was a cruel girl who looked down on those who had a lower social position than hers and saw them as only things to be used. That girl fell in love with the Prince, and she despised the heroine, despite the heroine also being from an Earl house like 『Cordelia』, since she lived for a long time amongst the townspeople. Also, she always plotted against the heroine.

Naturally, 『Cordelia』was not chosen by the Prince and the goal of the game was to marry the heroine and the Prince according to the players choices.

If it were just that then it would still be fine. There wouldnt be any problems.

However, 『Cordelia』was impatient because of the relationship between the Prince and the heroine. She caused a riot with magic to raise her reputation but she failed when she tried to control the situation, and it caused her to lose her life. As a result, her whole family also received punishment. That was also implied in the story.

I think that it was the education policy in her house that caused her to grow up to be that kind of person, but thats not the story at the moment.

Cordelia was astounded.

What a nuisance Ive reincarnated into.

Why, would I be reincarnated into the option I wouldnt choose at all if I had the choice? Its awful.

But there was probably a silver lining in the dark cloud; Cordelia was still only three years old when her memories returned to her. Her innocence had yet to be distorted and, as a noble, she was still a relatively normal Ojou-sama. She didnt even sneak around to eat snacks; she was a good girl who properly listened to what people said. In other words, she wasnt infamous or anything. She also didnt have a radical personality or aimed too high.
