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!

Recalling this, Lynn saw Princess perform an extremely cute action.


Moved by modesty, she unconsciously stopped her previously hurried pace, but failed to stabilize herself and nearly collapsed to the ground.


She managed to stay upright by leaning on a nearby handrail, using one hand to hold up her skirt.


Realizing Lynn was watching, Ivyst seemed somewhat embarrassed, slowly straightened up, and then flung back the loose strands of hair by her ear with a light huff.


Then, as if nothing had happened, she gracefully walked down the stairs holding the hem of her skirt, exuding the austere and indifferent air of an empress attending a grand ceremony.


At that moment, she had, unknown to others, removed her mask and revealed her true face.


Thanks to the negative effects of the Curse Mark, nobody dared to meet her gaze, let alone look in that direction.


Thus, only Lynn was fortunate enough to see this appearance.
