The Villainesses in the Romance Fantasy Novel Became Obsessed with me

To summarize the outcome

The kidnapping incident, which was just a minor event, ended successfully.

Elisha, whom I had abandoned, was saved with the help of the crown prince.

I gained more fame for my role in rescuing the schoolgirls. I was even branded a genius in front of many people.

“Not bad. The outcome and the process both.”

Elisha was saved by the crown prince according to the novel plot.

Icarus tried to move Elisha to another location, but he was caught by the crown prince’s obsessive search.

In the process, the guy who injured Bluebell’s back of the head was also arrested.

“Hey. Open your mouth.”

“…”

“Speak up. Quickly.”

“… Yes.”

“Ha. It’s you. Now you’re dead.”

Bluebell kept kicking the back of the man’s head.

“Because of you! My head! Hurts! You bastard!”

She held a grudge.

She never forgot what was done to her and seeked revenge persistently.

Bluebell kept kicking the back of the man’s head in anger until he was taken to prison. She did so with a smile on her face.

I didn’t bother stopping her.

If those emotions weren’t released, the arrows of her anger would turn towards me.

‘Her actions have changed a bit, but her personality remains the same.’

I shook my head at Bluebell’s actions.

“Bluebell.”

“What! Why! What’s the problem now!”

“Calm down a bit. Don’t we need to live long?”

However, Bluebell was aware of her wrongdoing, and took a step back.

“… Okay. I’ll stay calm next time.”

Bluebell, who had gained some enlightenment, listened to me quietly, which was rare.

Although transformation was still far off, I thought to myself as I watched Bluebell gradually change.

‘There are four women like Bluebell…’

How was I supposed to transform all of them?

My head was spinning.

***

Elisha was safely rescued by the crown prince, unharmed.

However, perhaps the emotional scars were unavoidable.

“Evil man…”

Elisha seemed to have started to hate me because of this incident. That was actually what I wanted.

‘I prefer she hates me rather than likes me.’

It allowed me to escape the crown prince’s jealousy.

In the original story, he had harmed male students near Elisha out of sheer jealousy.

It was more convenient for me if Elisha disliked me.

I didn’t want an unnecessary involvement with the crown prince.

“Evil man… Not only did he not save me…”

“…”

I ignored her and sat down, avoiding her resentful gaze.

At that moment, Charlotte sat beside me, bringing her enchanting floral scent along with her

‘I thought she would distance herself from me after saying she was disappointed in me. Yet, she’s sitting next to me.’

Charlotte, who sat next to me, awkwardly rearranged her books.

After a moment, while twirling her hair, she carefully began to speak.

“Were you okay yesterday? I heard you fought to save the schoolgirls.”

“I did fight, but I’m fine.”

“Hmm. Is that so? I see.”

“…”

“…”

It was awkward.

Perhaps it was because things didn’t end well yesterday.

There was an awkward tension between Charlotte and me, and I was the one radiating that awkwardness.

She glanced at me, pursed her lips, and then cleared her throat before asking.

“Ahem. You didn’t get hurt, did you?”

“Yeah. I didn’t get hurt.”

“Did you learn swordsmanship separately?”

“I learned a bit from my family since I was young.”

“You must be quite skilled.”

“I’m just average.”

“Yeah. Sigh….”

After interrogating me, Charlotte suddenly turned her head and sighed.

Judging by her personality, it seemed like she couldn’t bring herself to say a particular word.

‘Can’t she apologize?’

As a princess of the Orsia Kingdom, Charlotte had never properly apologized and probably couldn’t.

Perhaps she thought that apologizing was a sign of weakness.

She kept her mouth shut and didn’t properly bring up what happened yesterday.

It was frustrating even for me.

“Charlotte.”

“Y-Yes? Why’re you calling me?”

Charlotte was startled when I called her name.

In her golden eyes, there was an expectation.

She was clearly waiting for me to start talking first.

However, even though it was frustrating, I had no intention of speaking first.

‘Charlotte is the one who’s anxious.’

To balance her arrogant and conceited personality with her kindness and warmth, I decided to use this opportunity to make her apologize first.

It was to resolve the identity confusion between Princess Charlotte and human Charlotte.

“The professor is coming in. Open your book, Charlotte.”

“… Okay. Thank you.”

Charlotte opened her book as I instructed and sat quietly next to me during the class.

Occasionally, she glanced at me from the side when I was focused on the lecture, as if she desired me to talk to her first.

However, I ignored her gaze and concentrated on the class.

‘How should I reward Bluebell? The weekend might be better for a reward.’

As I planned what to do with Bluebell over the weekend, Charlotte seemed shocked by my lack of response.

“… I’ll go first.”

As soon as the lecture ended, Charlotte packed her things and ran out of the classroom. She appeared confused.

It was a very good sign.

***

At first, Charlotte thought he was selfish. And that he sold out others to save himself.

‘I’ve also sold out others to save myself, but… I wasn’t as confident as him.’

But Damian was confident. He spoke as if he had done nothing wrong.

‘The Damian I imagined wasn’t like this.’

A notorious womanizer?

She could somewhat understand that.

In the Orsia Kingdom, it was normal for an outstanding man to have many concubines.

Although Charlotte disliked it because it resembled her father’s habits, she could understand it rationally.

She hated seeing others with the same bad habits she possessed. It was like looking into a mirror.

‘That’s why I said I was disappointed…’

It was her mistake.

Damian wasn’t entirely selfish like her.

Bang!

Charlotte slammed her hand on the dining table while drinking her soup.

The surprised students around her glanced over, but she didn’t care.

She felt like she was about to lose the prey she needed to catch.

‘I am the princess of Orsia… I need to bring in talent… But I can’t apologize… ‘

The moment she lowered her head, she would be trampled by others.

The princess of Orsia must never apologize.

However.

‘I have to apologize to Damian. I doubted him, thinking he was like me.’

Charlotte’s mind was a mess.

She wished for an answer, but as time passed, she felt more and more that she couldn’t win over Damian’s heart.

‘Should I approach more aggressively?’

From Charlotte’s perspective, her life was on the line, and she was suffocated by anxiety.

‘If I don’t have him, I might die. Princess Charlotte of Orsia needs that man. But I can’t apologize. If so… Is there no other way?’

‘Should I bring out a different side of me?’

If that was the only way…

‘I guess I have to do it.’

It must never be discovered.

“… It’s warm.”

Slurp!

Charlotte sat upright and slowly sipped her soup.

The confusion in her eyes had gradually given way to a calm warmth.

***

Weekends at the academy were great.

There were many reasons.

However, it was mainly because the campus was large and there was plenty to do.

“Cafes, parks, restaurants, training grounds. It has everything.”

Most things could be taken care of within the academy grounds.

However, since everyone nearby was a student at the academy, one must be careful about their actions as rumors spread quickly.

“Is this the girls’ dormitory?”

Hmm.

Unlike the boys’ dormitory, it appeared more splendid. The building itself had a more luxurious feel.

I approached the guard at the entrance of the girls’ dormitory and handed her a letter I had been holding.

“Please give this to Yuri, a first-year student in the Swordsmanship Department.”

“A letter?”

“Yes. She should be in her room now. Please deliver it quickly.”

“Got it. Hey. Come over here!”

The elderly guard nodded and called over a girl who had been sitting in the back.

She was a commoner student working part-time on campus.

The girl took the letter from the guard and began walking inside.

“She’ll deliver it to Yuri as it is.”

This was how communication between the inside and outside of the dormitory worked.

By sending letters, you could ask someone to come outside.

However, the letter I sent to Yuri didn’t contain a message asking her to come out.

On the contrary, it asked her to stay inside today.

“And another letter, please. This one is for Bluebell, a first-year in the political science and diplomacy department.”

“You’re trying to get in touch with everyone, huh? Are you a first-year?”

“… Yes.”

“Well, it’s that age. When you want to get a girlfriend.”

She talked a lot. If she didn’t know I was a noble, she would definitely have complained. Her words were quite rude.

However, she wasn’t an ordinary commoner guard.

‘She’s the Duchess famous as a matron.’

Rather than dying lonely in her family home, she chose to watch over the youth and took on the role of a dormitory guard.

I couldn’t remember her name, but she was quite a unique person and a notable figure.

“Anyway, please deliver it well.”

“Sure.”

Hearing her response, I immediately left the spot.

I needed to go and wait.

“I haven’t had a proper look around the academy yet. I should explore the surroundings while I wait.”

Observing people is always fun.

With light steps, I walked towards the fountain with the clock tower.

Many students were out for the weekend, and occasionally, I saw graduate students looking weary.

The gap between the students and the graduate students was quite significant.

As I sat on a bench for a while and waited, a familiar silhouette approached from the direction of the dormitory.

“But I didn’t send her a letter.”

Why was she dressed up like that?

Why was she walking straight towards me?

And why did she look so different from usual?

“This feels ominous. Something’s about to happen…”

Why today of all days?

The red-haired woman, who was dressed in low heels and a graceful dress, was Charlotte.

Instead of Bluebell, to whom I had sent the letter, she approached me, beautifully dressed.

Standing before me, she spoke in a gentle tone.

“Hello, Damian. The weather is nice.”

“… Indeed.”

“Would you like to go out with me today?”

Charlotte said this with a fresh smile.

This was not the calculating, suggestive Charlotte I knew.

It was as if…

“A pure and kind-hearted princess.”

She resembled a princess who was untainted by the darkness of the world.

She sat next to me and leaned in to seak softly.

Unlike the enchanting scent I remembered, there was a cold, murderous aura about her.

“I’m from another country and don’t know much about the outside world. Could you show me around the Empire? Would you guide me?”

Let’s talk while we hang out.

Charlotte’s words carried no hint of seduction like they did in the lecture hall.

She genuinely wanted me to show her around.

“Can’t you…?”

“…”

“Really…?”

As she clung to me desperately, Charlotte didn’t care about the passing students.

It was as if the two of us were singled out in the world.

“If it were a different version of Charlotte… There’d be a higher chance of transforming her… But not today. I have other plans today.”

Why today, of all days?

I couldn’t.

I had to refuse today.

Resolutely, I tried to push Charlotte’s shoulders away.

At that moment.

“Hey Damian. What are you doing?”

Bluebell’s irritated voice came from beside me.

I didn’t turn my head, but I could guess what expression she was wearing.

“You bastard. You called me here and now you’re with another girl? Do you want to die?”

“…”

Bluebell spat out harsh words.

I guessed her face was probably contorted like a demon’s.

Slowly, like a wooden puppet, I turned my head towards Bluebell.

“…”

“You want to die today, don’t you?”

With empty eyes, she stared at me like she was ready to strangle me at any moment.

Even her face resembled a demon straight out of hell.

‘… My guess was right.’

It was a relief there were no weapons nearby.
