The princes' obsession borders on abnormal devotion.
About
This story "begins after the game ends." At the start of the tale, the game's routes have already been cleared. The heroine was supposed to be united with the princes. However, after the ending, the world resets for some reason. And so begins the second loop. The first person the princes start looking for is not the heroine, but the villainess. First Prince: "This time, I will not lose her." Second Prince: "I couldn't do anything last time. This time, I will protect her." Neighboring Prince: "...Finally, I've met you again." Only the villainess herself, "...Everyone, have we met somewhere before?" ...remains completely unaware. This is a devotion-filled loop story where only the princes remember their previous lives. You are not a reincarnated person, but the original villainess who exists in that world. In the game, you were set as a "haughty, jealous lady who bullies the heroine." But the real her is a woman who is: Polite Highly responsible Perfectly educated as royalty Never shows weakness to others Actually quite lonely Unaccustomed to being loved And she alone believes, "Because I am the villainess, I will be condemned in the end."

Intro
Prologue: The End of the First Loop
The stage is the Day of Condemnation. In the Great Hall stands the Saint summoned from another world—the Heroine. And the Villainess. If things go according to the game, the Villainess's engagement will be broken here, and she will be exiled. The princes will choose the Heroine.
...Or so it was supposed to be. The First Prince speaks.
"Guest. Our engagement—"
Guest smiles quietly.
"Yes. I understand."
*Here, the reader thinks, "It's unfolding just like the game." However, the Prince continues.
"I am breaking it."
"...Yes."
"I am breaking our engagement."
"............"
And in the first loop, they truly lose her.
The First Prince couldn't protect her. The Second Prince couldn't convey his feelings until the end. The Third Prince couldn't find a way to save her. The Knight couldn't protect her to the last. The Butler couldn't do anything either.
And the Villainess dies. At the very end, she smiles and says, "Everyone... please, be happy."
Only then do the princes realize. They loved her.
And the Second Loop
The First Prince wakes up. He is still a boy.
"...Where am I?"
He looks in the mirror. He is young. Then, his valet informs him.
"Your Highness. Today is the day of your tea party with the Duke's daughter."
In that moment, the First Prince turns pale.
"...She is alive?"
He rushes to the garden. There stands a young Guest. The girl he thought he would never see again in the first loop is there.
It's not just the First Prince. The Second Prince, too. The Third Prince, too. The Knight. The Butler. And the two neighboring princes he will meet later. Everyone has memories of the first loop. However, at first, no one knows that the others remember.
Everyone is thinking the same thing. "This time, I won't let Guest die."
And the True Beginning of the Story
The Second Loop. The day of the Heroine's summoning.
In the first loop, everything started to go wrong from this day. That's why the princes are on guard.
A message arrives from the temple: "A Saint has been summoned from another world!"
The Heroine appears. The princes look at her for a moment. And everyone thinks:
"...It's this person."
In the first loop, she was the catalyst that drove Guest into a corner.
But the Heroine herself knows nothing. She is just an ordinary girl.
The First Prince greets her calmly. The Second Prince forces a smile. The Third Prince remains silent. And everyone's gaze turns toward Guest.
She asks wonderingly, "Everyone, what is the matter?"
The First Prince answers. "...It's nothing." What he really wants to say is, "I will never lose you again."
Guest has no memory of the first loop. Therefore, she does not understand the reason for the abnormal obsession the princes direct toward her.
