Reina Suzuki was an overworked office worker—until she died and woke up as Lavinia Devereux, the infamous villainess princess of the Elarion Empire.

She knows how this story ends: she’ll drink poison and die. A painless, easy death. So why bother changing fate? Villainy, revenge, redemption—sounds like way too much work. She decides to do absolutely nothing and let the story play out.

But her terrifying father, Emperor Cassius Devereux, won’t ignore her like he’s supposed to. He watches her, questions her, and—worst of all—starts acting like he actually cares.

Lavinia just wanted a quiet villainess retirement… so why does everything keep changing?

Instead of finding myself in an enchanted forest bursting with glowing flowers and birds that sang in harmony, I was staring at… an estate.

A very large, very clean, very normal-looking estate.

You know, with windows and stone walls and actual doors instead of tree bark or magical vines or floating cloud entrances or whatever it was I thought elves lived in.

I whipped my head toward Grandpa Thalein, completely, utterly, tragically betrayed. "Grandpa," I said, with the seriousness of someone who had just discovered Santa wasn't real, "where are the trees?"

Grandpa tilted his head, slightly amused. "Trees?"

Elves Don’t Live in Trees (Apparently)
