Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 28.1

Meeting by Chance

“Haah?…”

In a corner of Dandol Castle, late at night, a young girl sighed over a cup of fragrant tea in one of the living rooms.

“What’s the matter, Clara? Clara, you’ve been sighing.”

“…big brother.”

Clara Dandol, the villainess with memories of her previous life, smiled and shook her head at the slightly older boy who appeared in the living room.

“I’m only delighted to be able to see Elena-sama for a few moments.”

“Her Highness and Clara are very close. I’m also looking forward to seeing my cousin for the first time in a long time.”

“Yes, brother.”

Clara looked at her cheerfully smiling brother from this life with mixed feelings.

According to her memories of previous life…according to those people, she was a [villainess] in Otome game, and her older brother in front of her was one of the [Capture Targets].

Rockwell Dandol, a stunningly beautiful boy with red hairs and gray eyes, just like Clara. His character was sincere and honorable. He was loved not only by Clara but also by all the Dandol family for his gentle nature.

However, when he met [Heroine], he fell in love for her at first sight, and Rockwell, who had lost sight of everything else, continued to think of only her happiness even after Heroine married the Crown Prince, and in the end, even his sister Clara was condemned for the superficial evidences.

Since the accusation came from her own brother, a legitimate son of the Dandol frontier count family, it could be seen as official proof, where no evidence was needed, it wouldn’t have mattered if it was from another nobleman. After she was convicted for the crimes, the Clara of the game would later be sent to a cold monastery in another northern country, where she would spend the rest of her life, never seeing the outside world again.

‘I don’t want that to happen again. She died young in her past life and was now reborn, so what’s wrong with wanting to be happy like everyone else?’

Clara in the game was a jerk just like in the game, but now that Clara and Rockwell were on good terms again, there was a possibility that Heroine would not accuse Clara even if she was united with the Crown Prince. However, if Clara became the Crown Prince’s official fiancée, Heroine and the Crown Prince would not get together unless Clara stepped off the stage.

They would not be enemies with Heroine this time. There was an option to get along with Heroine, but even if Clara did nothing, if the daughters who are jealous of Heroine did something, there was a high possibility that she would be feted and made the ringleader without her knowledge under the cause of [for the Crown Prince’s fiancée, Lady Clara].

She had thought about withdrawing from the list of potential fiancées, but since her aunt could not become a First Queen, her brother, the Knight Commander, who was also Clara’s father, was eager to make his daughter Clara the next First Queen.

Clara feared, more than anything else, the Heroine’s charm that would distort even her gentle brother’s beliefs.

If Heroine chose another target, there would be no problem. But she chose her brother, Clara would be sent to another country.

But this was not a game that could be played repeatedly; it was a reality that could only be played once.

(Failure is not an option…)

The Game Heroine was a Viscountess, but only when she was united with the Crown Prince, it was revealed that she came from the Melrose family. Her grandfather told her that an unconfirmed but missing Melrose princess had been found.

Clara also secretly had the Dandol counterintelligence investigate the truth of this, but according to the counterintelligence, the Melrose family handles the dark side of this country, and she was told that if she investigated further, she would have to be prepared to deal with all the dark side of the Cleydale Kingdom.

And above all, the head of the Melrose family and my grandfather, the head of the Dandol family, had been friends since their school days, so it was impossible to use a Dandol person to make the first move on the Melrose princess.

There had to be some kind of liaison; Clara had to find a liaison who could eliminate Heroine without the Dandol family before she could enter the Academy of Magic at the start of the game.

There were three villainesses in the game.

One was Clara, the Crown Prince’s fiancée, the other was the Countess, the first court magician, and the last one was Elena, the First Princess, who was on her way here now.

However, even though Elena was classified as a villainess, she was only jealous of the Heroine, who was related to her brother, the Crown Prince, and she made a small complaint, but when she became more likable, she eventually recognized the Heroine and sided with her, so in reality, Clara and the Countess are the two main villainesses.

If that’s the case–

“I wonder if we can get Elena to eliminate Heroine now…”
