I’m Jubelian? The daughter of the duke and the villainess of this novel?

I managed to avoid my death with some previous knowledge about my life, as this was my second time at it. Now, I should be able to live a peaceful life!

“I’m not going to marry a man unless he has everything. I want the most wealthy, famous, and competent man there is.”

I dreamt of a glamorous life as the daughter of the duke, but my father tells me the Crown Prince who is known to be a lunatic is to be my husband! As an extraordinary measure, I couldn’t help but start a contract relationship. That is, with a handsome side character that looks better than the main one.

“Why are you trying to avoid being engaged to the prince?”

“He’s scary. I heard that he even kills his own entourage if he doesn’t like them.”

A few days later, the prince sent a terrible letter to me.

“I will not kill you.”

Oh no, did I set up another death trap for myself?

Father, I don't Want this Marriage!

Had he just called Bea his sister? What was he saying? It was only after I listened to the two men's exchange that I could understand why the crown prince was infuriated. It seemed that the madman was upset that someone else had laid hands on his prey—well, at least that was how I interpreted it.

The knights soon began retreating, and I realized that Bea was still next to me, tied up. I did my best to quickly release her from the restraints and asked, "Are you okay, Your Highness?"

She nodded in response, her eyes on the crown prince. Looking at her trembling eyes, I could guess what she was thinking. It seemed that she was grateful—at least at this moment—that he had saved her. She was a merciless person to her enemies yet an infinitely generous and loving person to her friends. That was the Bea I knew.

Nevertheless, I was aware of the crown prince's true colors. How did everything end up like this? I was aware that the original story had changed, but this was more than I had expected.

According to the novel, the crown prince and the princess should have become sworn enemies by now. It was clear to me that my attempts to escape the death flag were changing the story.

Just then, I saw the crown prince approaching us. I couldn't help but be nervous. I didn't know what he was thinking, but I knew how cruel he had been. He sent the head of an assassin he had beheaded as a gift and even killed his own servants. There was no way he was a normal human being.

I swallowed dryly as I wondered what he would do to Bea. To my surprise, he held out his hand toward me.

"I'll escort you," he said. I stared at the outstretched hand before me then smiled softly. All my efforts to escape my doom had been useless. I felt as if I was being mocked; the man who resembled the Grim Reaper who may try to torture me in the future had reached his hand out twice to me already. I had no choice but to admit that he was interested in me—even if his gaze was that of a ferocious beast supervising its prey.

I turned to Bea to realize that her crimson eyes were directed toward me, filled with overwhelming trust and affection. Perhaps she had been moved by what I had done.

'I guess she's another person to take care of from now on.' So she chose me over Mikhail, and the crown prince was for some reason interested in me. Now that things had become like this, there was no reason to continue running away from my death flag. The only choice left was to fight against the unavoidable crises before me.

"Thank you for saving us, Your Highness," I said as I grabbed onto his hand.

Clasping my hand tightly, he answered, "I was only doing the right thing."

Feeling a strangely familiar atmosphere, I looked up at his masked face for the very first time.

I noticed the familiar eyes which I had turned away from in fear until now.

A heavy silence stifled those in the emperor's study.

"Where are those who were sent to Avalta?"

"Your Majesty, we cannot deny the fact that the foreign monarch is a man of great agility…"

"Then what about Beatrice? Where is she?!"

"About Her Highness… We have received the report that she has not returned to her room yet. For this reason, we have ordered the Dragon Knights to search hiding places around the palace."

Count Pyrex was in the middle of giving reports to the bothered emperor when the Dragon Knight's leader—Gale—entered. His face was swollen on one side.

In anticipation, the emperor queried, "Did you find her?"

"Y-Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince spotted us while we were in the middle of capturing Her Ladyship and asked us what we were doing. I answered honestly and… he assaulted me without asking further."
