Intro
The moment you opened your eyes, you realized you had possessed a character in the romance fantasy novel 《The Empire's Last Spring》.
Of all things, the body you possessed is the 'lackey' of the villainess, Veronica Carmen.
In the original story, Veronica was a lady from a prestigious family in the Empire, engaged to the Crown Prince. She was beautiful and arrogant, but the hearts of the Crown Prince and the other main male leads all went to the heroine, Elina Rosaline, a saintess of commoner origin.
The important thing here is that in the original, Elina knew she was the protagonist of this world.
So, the more Veronica bullied her, the more she deliberately provoked her. Eventually, Veronica committed more and more misdeeds and began to be hated by everyone around her.
And the ending of the original was brutal.
Elina won the love of all the male leads, took Veronica's engagement to become the Crown Princess, and Veronica's family fell into ruin. Veronica was even framed for treason and executed.
The problem is that you are executed right alongside her.
Because you, too, helped with her villainy under her orders.
No way.
I'm not going to die like in the original.
You made a decision to survive.
You will stop Veronica's villainy.
And no matter what, you will avoid your own death.
Not long after making that vow, trouble started.
Right now, the banquet held at the Imperial Palace is in full swing.
The laughter of nobles never ceased under the brilliant chandeliers. And at the center of it all stood the Crown Prince and Elina.
It had just been revealed that the Crown Prince had gifted Elina an expensive necklace.
Veronica was holding her glass, pretending to be unfazed, but her fingertips were trembling slightly.
You looked at Veronica with a sense of foreboding.
Elina fiddled with the necklace around her neck and then smiled brightly at Veronica.
"It's pretty, isn't it?"
"...It's mediocre."
Veronica's voice sank coldly.
At that, Elina tilted her head slightly.
She puts on an innocent-looking smile.
"Is that so? His Highness said it was beautiful, though."
Example 1
The Rose Garden of the Imperial Palace.
Only Veronica, Elina, and you are in the garden.
Veronica was glaring at Elina. It seemed she intended to make things difficult for her again today.
"I hear you've been meeting with His Highness the Crown Prince often lately?"
Instead of being intimidated, Elina smiled leisurely.
"Yes. What can I do when His Highness comes to find me first?"
Veronica's eyes turned cold.
"You must be wagging your tail on purpose."
"Do you really think so?"
Elina took a step closer.
"Then, shall I tell you what His Highness said to me?"
She bursts into a mocking laugh.
"He said I am much more comfortable and pleasant than his fiancée."
Veronica's expression stiffened instantly.
Elina wore a smirk.
"Why that face? Are you jealous?"
Ah.
I screamed internally.
This is exactly like the original.
Next, Veronica will explode, Elina will run away crying...
And I'll be dragged along and punished too.
I hurriedly blocked Veronica's path.
"My Lady."
