Book 2: Prologue
Part 1 Vagabond Arc Ash Crowned Princess of Slaughter II
Prologue
(Depressing)
It was a corridor with ornamented high ceiling. The sunlight was pouring from the wide window. The girl was being led by a maid through that corridor while sighing inside her heart. Several months had passed since Princess Elenas recuperation was over. This time it was the young lady of Margrave Dandall, Clara who headed to the capital to visit the palace.
There were some problems that happened during Elenas recuperation and Dandall House almost got asked to take responsibility, but the royal family also didnt want to publicize the fact that an unmarried princess almost got kidnapped, and it was also a fact that the attempt was foiled before it succeeded, so the matter wasnt pursued any further through political adjustment with the royal familys side.
Even so, although it couldnt be said that it was related with this case, a gap that was like an unseen crack was created between Clara and Elena.
The two were really close as though they were biological sisters before this, but then Clara regained the memory of previous lives and learned that this world was the world that became the base of the otome game Falling in Love on the Silver Wings. She realized that she was a villainess who appeared in the game and that Elena was also a villainess like her. Because of that she was on her guard against Elena which was realized by the sharp Elena. As the result it was Elena who kept her at distance.
Even so the greatest cause must be the maid who had the same pink hair color like the games .
There was no proof that she was the heroine. But because there was just too much similarity, it caused Clara who had avoidance toward the heroine to react with rejection toward the maid. It was unknown whether that played a part or not, but after that the maid got sent to the territory of Baron Seylace that was even more remote than Dandall. In the end the maids whereabouts became unknown after she fell into the hand of the mysterious person that caused a ruckus there.
Clara felt bad for the girl, but she felt relieved at the inside that the girl had vanished. That must be why she got careless. She had a chance to meet Elena before this, where during the flow of the conversation she gave her condolence because Elenas favorite maid was died, Elena suddenly flew into a rage like a raging fire.
Its impossible that Aria will renege on her promise with me-!
Since then it was like Elena was ignoring her. Clara got severely scolded by her mother because of that. She then got told to repair her relationship with the princess.
But, this time Clara visited the palace not for that. Three girls among the fiance candidates of the crown prince had been selected to be the official fiances, including Clara. She came to the capital in order for the fiances to be introduced with each other.
But, why did that introduction was depressing for her?
.
The daughter of the margrave house, Lady Clara Dandall has arrived.
The heavy door was opened along with the voice of the butler who had guided Clara until here. As she stepped inside one of the palaces VIP guest room, Clara saw that it seemed she was the last one arriving. The other two fiances were already inside and relaxing.
A girl with faint silver hair was relaxing while drinking tea on the nearest table. She smiled gently and nodded at Clara when she noticed her. Clara knew about this girl because she had talked with her several times in events like noble party and the like.
She was Patricia Fudale, a daughter of Fudale House. She was born from the second wife of Duke Fudale. She was two years older than Clara and the crown prince, but apparently the first wife didnt have a daughter of suitable age, so the duke house squeezed her into the candidate list at the end.
The three ladies who became the fiances all had equal standing with each other. That structure wouldnt change until the crown prince graduated from the magic academy. Until that time the three would be evaluated in their disposition before they got their standing decided. But even if they couldnt become the main fiance who would become the first queen later on, the remaining two were promised the position of the second queen and third queen.
Because of that it was required for the fiances to be friendly with each other, but in the case of the current king, because he made a daughter of a viscount house who wasnt even a candidate to be his first queen, the main fiances only became the second queen. From there, it became possible that the other fiances would only become concubine who wouldnt get involved with the country politic and even the children that they gave birth to would have the lowest rank in the order of succession, because of that two fiances of the previous king withdrew from their position.
In such situation, there was no way the two queens could work together with each other. The king thought of how to repair that relationship, and as the result, it caused the number of kings children who currently held the right of succession to be few.
If the crown prince fell in love with the heroine this time too, it would possibly lead to the same result. At that time Clara too would be condemned as a villainess so such thing shouldnt matter to her but, she would become unable to do anything if she acted so pessimistically.
She would have no problem getting along with the daughter of Duke Fudale as fellow fiance. She was someone who didnt even show up in game. In the first place she was never fully given the education to become queen seeing that she was just a daughter of a second wife, so even her family shouldnt really expect her to become the first queen.
But, the other fiancethe daughter of Lester House, a count house that had produced head royal magician for generations, the girl who was a year young than Clara and the same age with the heroine possessed all six elements and vast mana in the game. I the end she would definitely become the greatest enemy standing in the heroines way.
(So thatsthe worst, the most wicked villainess, Carla Lester-)
.
Darkly wavy jet black hair that looked like it swallowed the sunlight.
Sickly white skin. Eyes that were surrounded by black circles that made her eyes looked like they sunk in. That girllast boss who was considered as the equal of the demon king in the otome game was staring back with a fixed gaze toward Clara with fiery purple eyes.
