Oh good, it’s another villainess show with a twist. This time, however, the villainess can’t rid herself of the prince. But why would she want to? Isn’t the villainess supposed to try and steal the prince away from the heroine? Well, in her previous life, Bertia was a big fan of Cecil’s route (yes, of course, she’s a Japanese girl who has been isekai’d). The fictional version of him had helped her through some rough times. As a result, she’s content to fulfill her role as a villainess in her second life even if it means he gets to live happily ever after with someone else, i.e. the heroine. She’s willing to sacrifice her own happiness for him, which is a bit disturbing if you think about it. I mean, you gotta be able to separate fiction from reality. For instance, just because Bertia claims to be the villainess doesn’t mean she has it in her to actually become one. She’s not an inherently bad person, and thus Cecil has no reason to annul their engagement. In fact, this story is being told from the prince’s perspective, and he finds her utterly fascinating.
