The Tragedy of The Villainess

Chapter 1 – Prologue

Seria’s sleep has increased dramatically lately.
It was different from a year ago.
Last year, Seria was the socialite’s most famous villainess.
There was no time to sleep as she chased banquets and ballroom dances every day, and got away with it.

There was no one who could stop her because of her status and position.
But it’s been a long time since she’s been active.
All the nobles knew that Seria became a repentant woman.
She changed slowly within the lines until everyone was convinced.
It was still a mystery how the mad woman became so quiet.
And there was Seria, sitting on the luxurious terrace and dozing off.

“It’s because you have a cold, my Lady.
I heard that winter’s cold will make you sleepy like this.”

It was the priest sent from the temple who spoke softly to Seria.
She was the one who came to this distant province purely because of Seria’s cold.
The priest looked down the terrace with warm eyes.
There stood a woman with black hair.

“The saint is coming from heaven.
It is truly a blessing from heaven.
Of course, Lady Seria is also blessed by God, so she will soon shake off the cold.
She will always be healthy.”

The priest’s virtues were mild.
Her face was full of joyful expressions.

“Saint.”

Seria followed the priest and looked outside the terrace.
She saw the saint, Lina, with dark auburn hair and ivory skin.
Yes, she was a saint.
In the original novel that Seria read, the heroine was called a saint.

This was the world of a novel.
Just a few days ago, as in line with the original plot, the female protagonist fell from the sky.

“Oh, isn’t that your fiance, Lady Seria?”

The priest was right.
Next to Lina was a handsome man with light brown hair that stood out from afar.
Kalis strode towards Lina’s side, and she smiled brightly as she greeted him.
Lina’s laughter was clearly seen from this terrace, which was quite far away.
She was wearing a dress that exposed her shoulders, and a chilly breeze blew.
Kalis thought about it for a while, then took off his coat and wrapped it around Lina’s shoulders.
Seria felt a little strange at that sight.

“That bastard.”

He was Seria’s fiancé.
He abandoned Seria only one week before their wedding.

“Should I go down and pull their hair out? But if I do that, will I not die?”

“You have been on the terrace all day with the patient.”

At that time, Seria and the priest looked reflexively towards the origin of the voice they heard.
Seria rose from her seat while the priest hurriedly bowed her head.

“Your Highness the Grand Duke Lescheberg.”

His red eyes looked at the priest as if they were covered in blood.
His cold eyes were dark and full of irritation.

“Lady Seria, wasn’t it outrageous to have your fiancé call the priest when your worsening cold was due to spending all day on the terrace?”

This man was never concerned about Seria’s health.
It was just a nuisance to not have enough priests on his own estate and had to ask more from the temple instead.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness.”

He stared at Seria and turned his gaze as he spoke to the priest.

“Take her to the temple as soon as possible.”

“In my opinion, she should stay here a little longer for stability….
Your Highness!”

The priest quickly followed along the Duke who walked away after he said his piece.
Seria didn’t care much.
‘Because he is the main character.’ He is cold now, but in the future, he will change and look at the heroine with honey dripping from his eyes.
That was the fate of the male protagonist and the ending of the original story.
Seria.
She thought about the title of the novel that she had read.

****

Seria was originally an ordinary graduate student.
Yes.
A graduate student cannot be called an ordinary person.
Anyway, when she woke up one day, she had possessed a character in the novel she was reading.
She couldn’t tell how she died or how she got over it.
It was hard for her to remember what she had forgotten.
The important thing was about Seria Stern, the person she possessed.
Seria Stern was the biggest villain in the novel.
Similar to her name in reality.
