The first thought I had when I opened my eyes was.

Oh, it’s X.

I became the worst villain in the novel.

 

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

 

My reflection in the mirror is extremely unfamiliar to me.

Golden hair and gleaming green eyes.
I thought I’d seen you somewhere….

‘Why.’

The younger sister of the heroine, who was especially evil in the novel.
Ciel Valentine, the final villainess.
She is a villain who has done everything. 

Born as the youngest daughter of the Duke of Valentine, the most prestigious family of the Greitanian Empire, she is loved not only by her family but also the Empire.

But that’s not all.
Ciel, who also inherited the beauty of her mother, the Duchess of Valentine, who was called the beauty of the century, swept the social world with her beautiful smile.

She also inherited her father’s excellent magic skills.
It’s nice to be in the body of a character who has everything she could ask for, but that’s only half the story.

She was a wicked woman who committed many evil acts.

In order to win the heart of her victims, Ciel was executed.

She was charged with harassing the heroine.
Ciel, who was a villain unlike her sister, Clara, used various means to bully her adopted sister.

She was also very greedy.
Every time her parents scolded her, she would put all the blame on her sister, or frame her maids.
She did not even hesitate to do crazy things, such as killing someone, so she was the culprit of many people’s deaths by the guillotine.

“Ciel, are you awake?”

I jumped up from my seat when I heard a sweet voice.
My sister, who walks in with a gentle smile with her fine black hair, is Clara, the heroine of the novel.

Clara’s sweet and refreshing appearance, with exceptionally black hair, was different from the rest of the family.

But Clara was not the biological daughter of the Duchess.

In the year of the birth of their third son, Louis, the Duke and Duchess, who wanted to have a daughter, accepted Clara, who was an orphan, as their adopted daughter among their distant relatives.

The problem was that in that year, the Duchess suddenly succeeded in getting pregnant, so she got the daughter she wanted so much, and that is me, Ciel Valentine.

There had been no daughters in the Duke’s family in 100 years, and so her existence had everyone paying attention to the family.

And like that, Clara Valentine became the family outcast less than a year after she was adopted.

Of course, she can only be the main character when she has succumbed to such adversity.

“Did you sleep well? The sun is so nice this morning.”

After Ciel was born, Clara assisted the Duchess by acting as Ciel’s babysitter.
Clara had started raising a child and fortunately, until Ciel was about eight, Ciel was very good at following her sister.

But the problem was when she turned eight.

— Clara is not my family.
She’s an adoptee.

Louis, her youngest brother, told her that her sister was an adoptee.

Since then, it was the typical story where Ciel had started to bully Clara, ignoring her sister who took care of her sincerely.

“Ciel is still a baby, so sleeping alone is scary.
I want to sleep with you.”

“Really? What should I do? Should I ask my mother?”

I purposely sweet-talked as I was in my sister’s arms.

Yes, I possessed the five-year-old Ciel, long ahead of the eighth birthday party in question.

It has been a series of confusions since waking up in a young body.
It took quite a while to realize where I was.

When I woke up from a high fever, fortunately, it was much earlier than when the novel took place.
How fortunate is this?

“Our Ciel, I’ll brush your hair.”

Even Clara, who takes care of five-year-old Ciel, is only nine years old, and she is raising a child, so how is it not commendable?

Compared to her, an adult woman who has experienced the brutality of company life, Clara is just a poor and pitiful child.

Fortunately, I know the end of this novel.
I’ve read several times what Ciel does to be a villain, and I’ve memorized it all.

Okay! She made up her mind.
She doesn’t know how to get back to her world, and the only way to live is by avoiding the death flags while enjoying the life of a person with a golden spoon.
So let’s be nice to Clara somehow because it’s the only way to survive.

“I like you the most in the world.
Ciel is going to marry sister when Ciel grows up!”

“Yes, I like Ciel the most.”

Clara smiled and hugged my small body with joy at my aegyo{1}.

I will be on Clara’s side no matter what! Even against the Duke who treats Clara like she’s cheap and dirty, just because she’s an adoptee.

So let’s have a happy ending with the male lead as soon as possible.
That is the only way to protect my golden spoon life.

 

8th Birthday Party

 

Time flew by.

Three years have passed since I woke up in this body, and I, Naciel Valentine, am celebrating my eighth birthday safely.

Now that I can run around pretty well, I crossed the vast Valentine’s mansion to get to my mom, who was busy preparing for the party today.

“Mom! I want to wear the same dress as my sister.”

“This year? You were supposed to wear the same dress as your mother this year.”

My mother, who was touching the hem of a dress, wrinkled her pretty forehead.
But, who can imagine that this beautiful woman is a married woman who gave birth to four children?

The Duchess of Valentine, Eveness Rose, has been considered one of the most beautiful women in the Greitanian Empire since her childhood as a Count’s daughter.

Her beautifully curved almond-shaped eyes and her nose that would put Audrey Hepburn{2} to shame, made the young Duke Valentine fall in love with her at first sight.

Ciel inherited the appearance of the most beautiful woman in the Empire.
The Duchess cherished her daughter, who looked exactly like her, as if she were her alter ego.
The Duke, too, almost died when he saw his only daughter who looked like his beloved wife.

Such blatant favoritism naturally led to the rest of the children being out of their parents’ sight.

In addition to Ciel, the ducal couple had many children.
Their eldest son, Theo, their second son, Isaac, and their third son, Louis.

Breaking everyone’s expectations, the Duke and his wife did not surrender Clara even after Ciel was born.
At least, the couple took care of Clara, who was treated on par with their other children.

The problem was the employees.
Having high pride in working for the historic Valentine’s House, they secretly bullied Clara, the adopted child, while avoiding the eyes of the Duchess.

To be exact, the so-called “old employees” centered on Mrs.
Lisbon, who is in charge of the Duchy’s housekeeping.

They regarded the fact that Clara, the daughter of a single Baroness, being adopted by the Duke and given the Valentine name, as a great honor.

I don’t understand their reasoning for going this far, but what’s certain is that they are eagerly waiting for a chance to kick Clara out of the Duke’s family.

Of course, they couldn’t even speak in front of me about the fact that my sister was an adoptee because I liked her so much.

“Then I’ll pick out your dress!”

I can’t just watch it happen.
Once I intervene here, one of the trials of the original heroine will disappear.

Ciel was the little queen of the Valentine family.
As long as Ciel likes and follows Clara, Mrs.
Lisbon cannot bully Clara.

The Duchess looked at Clara with a very sad face as Ciel followed her older sister rather than her mother and father.

“Clara, what the hell did you do to her for her to only follow you?”

“I like my sister the most in the world!”

“No, Mother.
Ciel loves her mother so much.
Don’t you think so?

“Yes, you’re right!”

If Clara didn’t poke her in the side like this{3}, she wouldn’t hear a word of love from her beloved daughter.
So the Duchess sighed deeply and patted Clara on the head.

“She’s my daughter, but she’s a strange child.
Clara, I’m glad to hear what you said, but you always work hard.”

“No, Mother.
I’m glad I could be of help.”

The more arbitrary I was, the more the Duchess realized the importance of Clara.
What a beautiful scene this was.

When the Duchess shows favour towards Clara, Mrs.
Lisbon also serves Clara in a seemingly polite manner.

“There’s going to be a party in the afternoon.
I’ll get ready and go down soon.
Mrs.
Lisbon, please prepare for the two children to go to the party safely.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

What I learned, after coming into the novel directly, is that aristocratic wives do not take care of their own children themselves.

The Duchess was extremely busy right now.
She boasted a tremendous amount of work, starting with inviting guests and checking all the preparations one by one for the party, as well as taking charge of all sorts of household care.

Looking at my mother, who was overworked every day, I realized once again that not everyone can act as a Duchess.
My birthday is like a national holiday for Valentine’s princess.

Maybe it’s because I was a daughter born after a hundred years, but even the Emperor sent a lion to congratulate me on my birthday.

Power is the best.
I don’t know why I’d bother my sister, when I can enjoy this life with a golden spoon.
I deliberately tried to act as young as I could to cling to Clara’s waist.

“What kind of dress do you want to wear?”

“I like whatever dress our Ciel chooses.”

“Really?”

Why do you bother asking when you know I’m going to answer like this? Of course, listen to Mrs.
Lisbon.

Mrs.
Lisbon, who was tactless even when I gave her a direct hint, deliberately plotted to put Clara in a loose dress on my birthday last year.

The reason is that Clara should not stand out more than me, the main character.
How childish was this idea?

It’s not unreasonable for them to keep her in check, but thanks to the heroine buff, Clara is the so-called attractive type.

At first glance, she is not a beauty.
But, she had a fresh charm like a bursting nectar flower aura when she smiles.

It was not comparable to the Duchess and Ciel, who are the beauties of the century.
But the fact was that Clara stands out from the perspective of the general public, and that, itself seemed to be very undesirable.
