The Villaness Lady Aims To Overthrow The Heroine

chapter 1

“H-how could such a thing…”

A lone little girl sat in her own room, devastated. She was so devastated that, if a person that knew the usual her saw her right now, they probably wouldn’t believe what they were seeing. The gold threads that seemed to flow all the way down to her waist were dropped onto the floor and her clothes were getting wrinkled but, to the girl right now, she was too occupied to be concerned about such matters.

Belfreya Alunst is a 9 year-old little girl. Born into the aristocracy, up until now, she has lived a privileged life of no inconveniences, a typical noble lady. With parents that spoil her, she easily gets everything she wants. With a well-proportioned appearance, she has been predicted to become quite a beauty in the future.

Due to living in such an environment, she grew up to have a selfish and haughty personality. If there were any servants she didn’t like, she would ask her parents to fire them. If there was a dress she liked, she would sometimes arbitrarily decide to buy every single copy of said dress. If someone has a lower social status than her, she would treat them as slaves even if they are the same age as her. In these nine years, Belfreya has done whatever she wants so much that it would be impossible to count everything she did.

However——that was all until yesterday when she remembered her previous life’s knowledge.

“For me, to be in that thing called a “game”…and as a villain…”

To the Belfreya who, up until now, had never heard of the term “game” or possessed any knowledge about villains, these memories were too sudden. Based off of her recalled knowledge, this is probably what was known as her past life’s memory, she thought. And, fortunate or unfortunate, Belfreya only recalled her previous life’s knowledge; she still had her own consciousness.

Still, due to the large amount of recalled knowledge and memories, her own self-consciouness was quite stimulated. Among everything, the thing that astonished her the most was the fact that the world she was in was actually an otome game from her previous life. In addition, there existed another her with the same name, circumstances, and appearance. As the Heroine’s rival.

“Villains, they’re the bad guys…”

To the Belfreya that now knew her previous life’s morality, she couldn’t deny that what she had done up until now wasn’t exactly that. Thinking with her past values, she was undoubtably an outrageous young lady. No doubt that she was a villain that people held grudges against and hated. Three strikes.

To put Belfreya’s current state of mind in words, it would be “Eh, seriously?”. To herself, she thought that she had not done anything wrong these nine years. Something like servants, even if you fire them, they were quickly replaced with new servants. A 9 year-old kid like her didn’t understand the importance of money. As nobility, she thought it was natural for her to stand above others.

Finding out for the first time that it was not natural, she was shocked. Hence, she understood why she was the villain in this game-like world. Indeed, if it was her, she would have unmistakably continued living her life like the game dictated. For this reason, Belfreya accepted this crazy knowledge about games and such.

However——

“I admit it. Certainly, I was the villain. This heroine girl, while having a lower ranking than me, ended up in a good relationship with my fiancé. If it was me, I would definitely have harassed her. Because she’s a heroine, her face too might be prettier than mine. Her personality should be good too.”

The trigger that caused Belfreya to remember her past life was the moment when she met her one-year older fiancé, Syulein Edward, yesterday. In that one moment, while thinking about how it was her first time meeting such a beautiful person, her heart started racing and she was assaulted by déjà vu. From there on, the knowledge kept flowing into her.
