Fish-flavored cheese

Traversing to another world, Lin En is captured right from the start.
The captor is the antagonist princess from the original work, intending to control him by using him for hypnosis experiments.
In a critical moment, Lin En comes up with a quick-witted plan, feigning the success of the experiment and deceiving her with his acting skills.
But this was only a temporary measure.
Because in the original story, her ending is very tragic, and none of her associates meet good ends.
Hence, Lin En must pretend to be under the hypnosis while secretly being ready to flee at any moment.
But gradually things start to take an unexpected turn.

The Princess's Diary
[The experiment was a success!]
[As the sole specimen, I've decided to keep him by my side.]
[Due to the curse mark on my face, I am loathed by the public, but he says I'm beautiful.]
[I'm happy because people tell the truth when hypnotized.]
[Alone with him, I impulsively kissed him.]
[The feeling was strange and made me lose my composure, fortunately, he won't retain any memory of it after the hypnosis is lifted.]
[So, it's okay to be a bit bolder, right?]

Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!

*Thinking about this, Lynn noticed the Princess doing something unexpectedly charming.*


Driven by a sense of decorum, she instinctively halted her previously urgent steps, but failed to stand properly. Her legs weakened, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.


She steadied herself using the nearby railing and managed to stand upright, one hand clutching her skirt.


Noticing Lynn's gaze, Ivyst seemed slightly embarrassed. She straightened her body slowly, brushing her hair away from her ear, and let out a light hum.


Then, as though nothing had happened, she held up her skirt with both hands and descended the stairs with an air of unapproachable elegance, as if she were the Empress gracing the world with her presence.


She had silently removed her mask at some point, revealing her true face.


Using the Curse Mark's adverse effects to her advantage, it ensured no one dared meet her gaze—or even glance in her direction.


This unguarded moment was a rare sight, seen only by Lynn.
