Chapter 1

chapter 1

One snowy night in December, Senna died.

She was caught in a traffic accident, a hit-and-run. On the frozen road, the car slipped across the pedestrian hitting Senna. After that, when the other party saw that she was covered in blood and lying motionless on the ground, they ran away and abandoned her.

Maybe she could’ve lived if he reported the accident right away.

It was a very deserted road since it was late at night. Additionally, the weather was also freezing, so there weren’t any people out walking around. By the time she was discovered and was brought to the emergency room, her time had already been over. Senna’s life ended pitifully.

She was happy that she at least had a glimpse of her family, before she closed her eyes.

Senna didn’t believe in reincarnation. Well, she didn’t believe in religion in the first place. However, when she opened her eyes again, as if mocking her thoughts, she was lying in a strange place as the 10-year old Yurina Carthia.

She thought that everything was just a dream at first, but after a week or so, she had to admit that this was reality.

She thought that something mysterious must’ve happened to her. Just like in the novels she read for example, like a highschool student getting hit by a truck then being reborn as a noble or one that involves dimensional transfer.

But that was not the end for them. She was in a similar situation either that of a dimensional transfer or reincarnation.

Like all the popular romance fantasy novels these days, she was now a character in a book.

‘And out of all the characters, I am the villainess.’

To be honest, she was confident that she was in a book, but she couldn’t remember the title nor the contents of the book. It was just one of the many romance fantasy novels she read whenever she took a break.

There was nothing special about it, as it can be easily confused with other novels with a similar storyline.

After she read the end of the climax, she closed the book without ever knowing the ending.

She felt something strange when she heard the name Marquis De Flon. It gave her a similar feeling like having an itch on your body but you don’t know where it is so you can’t scratch it and it’s just really frustrating.

After pondering for a couple of days, Yurina was finally able to remember two names.

She remembered that she read the novel just recently.

Lydia De Flon and Yurina Carthia.

These are the names of the heroine and the villainess of the book which she still doesn’t know the title of.

In the novel, Carthia and De Flon politically opposed each other.

The two of them were always compared to each other ever since they had their social debut in the same year.

The rose-like Yurina and the lily-like Lydia.

It was no wonder that both of them left their houses to be an Empress.

But objectively speaking, just like in politics, one cannot simply judge who is good and evil.

At least this is what Senna, who is now Yurina, thought.

Marquis Carthia spread vicious rumors and tried to bring down Lydia. However, Marquis De Flon did the same thing as well.

Marquis Carthia and Yurina Carthia were bashed by the readers simply because they were in opposition to the heroine.

‘Just like they say, history is written by the victors. If Yurina was the heroine, Lydia would be the villainess.’

Both of the families tightly confronted each other as if they were in a tug-of-war and lasted for 3 out of 4 volumes that Senna read.

It was a game that seemed like it was going to go on forever until “Charrion”, the child that Marquis De Flon picked up in the orphanage, put an end to it.

As soon as De Flon, a fairly good mage, saw little “Charrion”, he realized that he had a talent that far surpasses him.

“Charrion” was a man with red eyes, the symbol of the Goddess, who showed incredible aptitude in magic and was known as a genius of the century.

Marquis De Flon, after discovering his gift earlier, sponsored his studies in the academy and he developed at an astonishing rate.

By the time he came back from his graduation, he had become a mage who was well known not only in the Empire, but also in the neighbouring countries.

With his appearance, the scales shifted in favor of Marquis De Flon. “Charrion” liked Lydia who treated him well since he was a child and gave his full support for her to become the Empress.

He loved her, he loved her and yet it’s funny how the miserable supporting character still wishes for the heroine’s happiness. That was the man called “Charrion”.

And Yurina Carthia died by his hands. The villainess who tormented the heroine with her cruel and miserable words. Of course, Marquis Carthia was also annihilated.

‘But why did she die?’

She only knows that she died, but she couldn’t remember the reason why. The death wasn’t intense enough for it to stick. She thought that maybe she was forced to die just because she was the villainess.

Looking back at it now, the novel was overwhelmingly overtaken by the fact that everything was in favor of the heroine, Lydia. This annoyed her due to the lack of explanation in the story.

Anyway, after gathering all her thoughts, Yurina worked diligently in the orphanage in the capital and scoured the surrounding areas to find Charrion before Marquis De Flon finds him.

The only clues were only his bright blonde hair and red eyes, but these were enough for her. In this world, red eyes were a color that was so unusual it barely appears.

Yurina started looking for him ever since the beginning of the year but it was already summer. It’s been 6 months. It was a long wait but the fruit of her labor would be as sweet.

Yurina finally found the child, who came to pack up a few of her things. She couldn’t help but hide her smile behind her handkerchief that was slowly growing.

“Were you able to get everything?”

“Yup.”

“So this is farewell then?”

“No one said anything about farewell.”
