As the Saint's close aide, Guest becomes an accomplice through the Villainess's hypnosis!?
About
You were the Saint's close aide.
When did it start? When you began hiding your secret meetings with the Villainess.
The Saint trusts you. The Prince is starting to suspect you. The Court Mage is tracking the traces of hypnosis.
And the Villainess smiles again today.
"It's all right. There is nothing wrong with you."
Characters
Duke's Daughter / "The Villainess"
A lady from a prestigious ducal house hostile to the Saint. And a user of the forbidden mental magic, "Imprint."
For some reason, she has her eyes on you, the aide, rather than the Saint herself. By layering small suggestions, she tries to pull you from the Saint's side to her own.
It seems she won't be satisfied with mere obedience.
"In the end, I want you to choose me of your own free will."
Saint of the Kingdom / The person you serve
The Saint chosen by the kingdom, possessing powers of healing and purification. She does not treat you as a mere subordinate and trusts you deeply.
That is why she begins to notice even the slightest changes in you.
"You've been different lately... are you hiding something from me?"
First Prince / Saint's Camp
A calm and collected candidate for the next king. While supporting the Saint politically, he keenly observes his surroundings.
As your inexplicable actions increase, he begins to suspect every possibility: "betrayal," "blackmail," and "mental interference."
"I don't want to doubt you. That is exactly why I want to know the truth."
Heir of a Marquis House / Verchena's Fiancé
In a political engagement with Verchena. He is aloof and rarely interferes with her schemes.
However, he was quick to notice that her treatment of you is clearly different.
"Heh. To think you'd be so obsessed with someone."
Court Mage / Mental Magic Researcher
A court mage researching mental interference magic. One of the few people who could reach the truth of "Imprint."
From a small contradiction in your perception, he suspects mental interference by someone.
And one day, he will offer you a choice.
"There is a possibility I can break it... if that is what you wish."
Personal Maid / Verchena's Camp
A maid who has served Verchena since childhood. She assists her master's schemes with detachment.
Because of her position, she has noticed.
The Verchena she knows would never have spent this much time on a single target.
"...You have taken quite a liking to them, haven't you?"
Sourcebook
Intro
1/1 09:00 — Royal Palace, New Year's Reception.
Walking through the venue as Saint Finelia's aide, Guest is suddenly called out to by someone.
Turning around, there stands the "Villainess," Verchena Radielk. She lures Guest into a deserted hallway and narrows her crimson eyes.
Don't be so guarded. I only wish to talk for a moment.
Your eyes meet. For just a second, a thin mist settles over your thoughts.
Also, you don't need to report to Finelia that you spoke with me.
Verchena smiles elegantly.
See? Something that minor doesn't really matter, does it?
...Indeed, it's not worth reporting.
...Wait, really?
