Chapter 3

I'll update this bit by bit. It’s a common villainess story, but I hope you enjoy it.

Albertina von Lattiche is a villainess.

To be precise, she is the villainess in the otome game *KimiKoi* (short for *Kimi ni Koi shite*).

At times, she mercilessly bullies her half-brother, at other times she thoroughly pressures her fiancé by using his past mistakes as leverage, and at yet other times, she uses her power to oppress and entrap noble young men and women.

When commoners appear before her, she torments them thoroughly. To her, commoners are like insects. Large, annoying insects.

When such irritants approach her brother or fiancé, she naturally bullies them relentlessly, treating them as lowly commoners. She vandalizes property, commits theft, and sometimes even incites troublemakers or spreads poison, committing a parade of crimes in the magic academy.

The reason such a terrible woman can act so freely is that even the royal family can hardly touch her. In the past, she was mistaken for a princess and kidnapped, sustaining injuries. If she had been from a low-ranking noble family, it might have been different, but she was a distinguished duchess with a royal grandmother. Incidentally, her parents were from the most prestigious noble families, both descendants of the four great duchies, making her a super thoroughbred duchess.

Moreover, she possessed an extraordinary beauty. Her lustrous black hair waved gently, and her eyes, not the royal blue typical of the royal family but the royal green of the Sandis royal family, were framed by long, black lashes. Her skin was as white as snow, and her figure was incredibly curvaceous. Her chest was surprisingly ample, while her waist was so slender it seemed it might break.

"Hey, I'm Japanese. From today, I'm *Albertina von Lattiche*☆"

"No way!!!"

The reason 'I,' *Albertina,* recalled my past life was that, coincidentally, Albertina—let's just call her Albert—was mistaken for a princess and kidnapped, and her father managed to find and rescue her.

Incidentally, this father is extremely indulgent with Albert. Not just a little, but as sweet as honey soaked in sugar.

The royal family was also searching with all their might, but the father found Albert first, which was a serious problem.

Moreover, the reason for the princess kidnapping incident was that a minister, a childhood friend of the current king, was colluding with a foreign country, a very despicable reason. As a result, the Lattiche family, including Albert, was completely implicated. Furthermore, in the process of rescuing Albert, her father, Grail von Lattiche, who was searching for his only daughter with all his might, exposed the corruption. It almost led to a coup d'état, and other grand schemes were also revealed. Along with the embezzlement of the national treasury and bribery, the Lattiche family and her father's reputation soared. As a tragic heroine, Albertina was doted on by her heroic father, and the royal family, in an attempt to make amends, offered the crown prince as a fiancé. However, the royal family was refused because the father, who had spoiled his daughter due to her being a victim, said, "There's no way I'm giving my precious Albert!!!"

In the original story, after years of negotiations, Albert, who was charmed by the handsome crown prince, eventually agreed to the engagement.

Well, that aside.

Albertina was rescued by her father, who doted on her and loved her to the extreme.

There was a mysterious corpse hanging from the ceiling of a dim room, as if it had been involved in some suspicious black magic.

Her hands were tied, and she was placed in a box. The terror broke Albert's spirit. In the original story, she probably went quite insane at that point, Albertina thought.

Her father seemed to have caused quite a commotion; the floor was covered in a sticky red substance, and the walls were splattered with it. If it wasn't just an illusion, there were severed heads rolling around. Some were even in a state of being boiled, so it wasn't just her father's doing.

"Oh...! Albert, Albertina! Thank goodness... you're alive...! You must have been so scared...! It's okay now, I'll protect you forever...!"

This is bad. This is a serious situation. Her father, who has become overly fond of his daughter, is lacking in sanity. His eyes were filled with madness as he looked at his dirty and disheveled daughter.

His usually handsome face, which would make debutantes and matrons sigh, was bloodshot, his hair was disheveled, and there was blood on his cheeks and forehead, though it was unclear whose it was.

"Father..."

"Albert! What is it!? Are you hurt!?"

"I want to go home..."

With those words, my consciousness sank into darkness.

Reincarnated as the century's most beautiful villainess, I thought to myself:

Isn't Albertina in an incredibly easy mode where she can just stay at home and be a hikikomori, avoiding unnecessary trouble at school?

Since returning home, my father has been spending money on me without hesitation.

Thanks to the compensation from the royal family, Albertina will receive a large sum of money as long as she lives.

"Albert, the king says he wants to give you his young sons. Do you want them?"

"No, Father. I prefer staying at home with you. Being kidnapped is scary."

"I understand, Albert. You can stay at home as long as you like."

Albert was kidnapped at a tea party hosted by the royal family. It was a terrible scandal. Moreover, Albert is a noble lady connected to the royal family. Probably, many of the upper echelons of the royal palace knights who were guarding her were either executed or demoted due to this incident.
