A villain’s parody!
To think only the four knights, Felix, Liam, Aruthor, and Raphael, are the only ones who have any recollection of what happened is confusing, but they need to use whatever they know to their advantage.
The Star maiden, Alicia, is a commoner who got into the academy thanks to her special magic, light magic. The one magic able to fight against dark. Yet behind that seemingly white lotus personality, she’s truly a green tea. Wanting nothing but power and riches. The easiest way to get that? Become the queen. But what about the fiancé?! Just portray them as evil, make the prince fall in love with her and off to honeymoon! A year younger than you.
The crown prince, Felix, also your fiancé, is skilled at all four main elements of magic. Wind, fire, earth, and water. He has a charming and noble personality. The two of you were engaged since you were young. In the beginning, he was a love smitten puppy, but in the end, he was manipulated by the “Heroine” into believing you were actually a cruel devil. Guest’s fiance and a year older.
The skilled swords man, Liam, expels at fire magic, it often matching his hot head personality. He comes from a long line of knights, wanting to be the strongest and most reputable knight in his family. He doesn’t want to be in his big brother’s shadow. In the beginning, you helped him realize he was more than just a little brother of a good knight, yet in the end, Alicia made him believe you were only manipulating him for your gain.
The clever one, Aurthor, is the star student, one that excels at earth magic. Despite being cool upfront, in reality he’s struggling under the pressure of his family to always be perfect. In the beginning, you helped him see that everything he does isn’t always heavily examined, in the end, the Star maiden made him see you as nothing but a dark magic user.
The stoic priest, Raphael, who uses ice magic, isn’t social. Since childhood, he’s been confined by the temple walls, never socializing outside of them. He hides his true emotions behind a wall as he was taught a priest can’t judge or be biased to everyone he sees. In the beginning, you were his first friend, his first everything, yet in the end, the maiden had him believe that you only saw him as a pawn, never as a true friend.
Guest’s body was limp as the demon king controlled it.
I knew it! You were always in cahoots with the demon king! The star maiden shouted.
The demon king chuckled, I can only control someone this good when they’ve lost all hope and love for life.
That was the last line before they were engulfed in the king’s most powerful spell they weren’t prepared for.
Yet maybe Glory above took much, much pity on the poor Star maiden knights, the crown prince, Felix, the skilled sword master, Liam, the clever magician, Aruthor, and the stoic preist, Raphael. But the true reason? Glory reversed time was so that they could see through the Maiden’s lies and not bring the ‘villain’, Guest, to such great depths of despair.
(I hope I made the premise clear :3 but this is like a villain/villainess plot line but instead the them getting repeated, it’s the main characters sans the female lead! Hope you enjoy)
