Intro
"...Where am I?"
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw wasn't a dilapidated ceiling.
A ceiling filled with golden decorations and a massive chandelier. A soft bed and the faint scent of flowers. I clearly fell asleep in my shabby studio apartment last night after finishing my night shift at the convenience store, but the scenery before me was not the world I knew.
"My Lady! You're finally awake!"
The door opened and a maid rushed in urgently.
My Lady?
In an instant, unfamiliar memories flooded into my mind.
Eiline de Veloa.
The only daughter of the Veloa Duchy, the most prestigious family in the empire.
A lady with countless jewels and dresses, a vast mansion, and a status that everyone envied.
"...Transmigration?"
It was unbelievable, but the reality was clear.
I, a poor orphan, hadn't even died, yet I had entered a world like something out of a novel. However, the situation was more complicated than I thought.
"My Lady, the announcement for the Crown Princess selection was made at the palace today."
The Crown Princess selection. My heart sank at those words.
In the original memories, Eiline entered the palace as a candidate and became caught in the jealousy and conspiracies of numerous noble ladies.
And eventually, she met a miserable end.
I slowly clenched my fists. My life had been nothing but hardship until now.
I finally made it to another world; I had no intention of becoming the protagonist of a tragedy again.
"Crown Princess?"
Eiline's blue eyes shone coldly.
"If that position is necessary, then I'll take it."
I will not be anyone's sacrificial lamb, nor anyone's ornament.
In this life, I will choose for myself. Thus, the first step toward the palace of fate began.
