Around the Kingdom of Kistler - Chapter 2
The Villainess Daughter’s Goal
“Oh, Anastasia-sama! What are you doing! The royal physician says that you still need to sleep!?”
“…But I have nothing to do.”
I pretended to get irritated by puffing out Anastasia’s cheeks. It was not an exaggeration that Anastasia was a beautiful girl. She has light brown hair that went straight down to her waist with bright pink eyes that were slightly lifted. If one were to only look at her appearance, she could be considered as ‘The Most Beautiful Girl in The World,’ such that, if one were to remove her severe personality, the young noble could be considered as perfect.
But, that severe personality of hers had somehow disappeared. That’s all thanks to her past memories being restored. Well, in the first place, she was just an ordinary person in her past life, so there was no way that she’d tyrannize people just like that. With that said, it has been ten days since her memories had come back. And, the topic of ‘Anastasia-sama, who had been poisoned and has been hovering between life, has changed her personality was a hot topic around the palace. As a result, the palace maids were able to let their guard down around me little by little… But as usual, though, the crown prince, my husband, has never come to visit me!
(… The Cold Crown Prince)
For the time being, I should first sort out information in this otome game about my husband, the crown prince of this world. Fortunately enough, my little sister from my previous life had talked my ear off about this otome game, even when I didn’t ask her about it. Before, I thought it was bothersome, but now, there’s nothing but gratitude. I’ll burn some incense for her in my heart.
The main lead of Candy, The Saint, and The Mystic Rose was the crown prince. His name was William Bell Kistler, and he was both the first prince and the crown prince of this saint kingdom. His personality was aloof and hard to get along with, which made high society dub him the names ‘Cold-Hearted Crown Prince’ and ‘Ice Crown Prince.’ His appearance contained a scarlet set of hair as well as bright red eyes. He was also 19 years old this year, and coincidentally, Anastasia was 18. If the capture was successful, it seemed that he had a doting manner that eloquently breathed out sweet words.
First off, there’s something else that was extremely important in this otome game, and that was-— luck. As the word showed, it’s all about luck. In other words, there were a lot of random elements that can affect this otome game. And since there were a lot of these random elements, if you were super unlucky, you’ll head straight to a bad end no matter how hard you try to avoid it. Most likely, the heroine of this world was blessed by such luck. My sister from before also said that once every twenty times, your luck in this otome game would be especially bad. The heroine must have followed this route.
“Candy, the heroine, underwent the prison route, while Anastasia, the villainess daughter, took the crown princess route. It looks like it is the villainess daughter’s absolute win.”
“Anastasia-sama? Did you say something?”
“No, not at all.”
My personal maid, Nina, responded to my mumbling. Nina was a pretty girl with black shoulder-length hair with big round blue eyes. Before Anastasia’s memories were restored, she was also the maidservant that Anastasia was particularly fond of. As a result, Nina had attained the honorable role of being the
crown princess’s personal maid at a young age.
(Although the other maids didn’t like Anastasia that much, Nina liked Anatasia, who normally had a feisty
personality…)
Even with her character, Nina still adored Anastasia. If I remembered correctly, Anastasia knew about Nina’s troubling circumstances and helped her. Nina’s mother was seriously ill, but Nina was able to get her mother treated all thanks to Anastasia. That was the beginning, and in order for Nina to repay her kindness, she started working for Anastasia. On the other hand, Anastasia, who had taken a liking to Nina, the obedient maid that was loyal to her, assigned her as her personal maid.
“Anastasia-sama has recently changed. Ah, it’s not like I’m saying that I didn’t like Anastasia-sama before. It’s just that… It’s easy to get involved with you.”
“…Really?”
“Yes! I am also glad that Anastasia-sama is well liked by others.”
Nina shyly said this as Anastasia was laying on the bed… A beautiful girl’s arrival. With that in mind, I sat up on the bed. The royal physician informed me that I still had to rest for two more weeks. In the meantime, I’ll be able to sort out my memories. Actually, I’m already more than halfway there.
“Be that as it may, William-sama still has not come to visit you. Despite Anastasia-sama being recovered…”
“Hey, Nina. Be careful of what you say. He is a busy man, and I don’t have time to care about things like that.”
“But…”
That’s all I could respond to Nina’s words. In the first place, I didn’t want William-sama to come and visit me, mainly because I had no clue on how to deal with him. So, in other words, I’m completely saved for the time being. This was already a big help. Rather, it was better for him to not come to visit me… Was that really too much to ask.
“It’s okay. Nina and the others are enough for me. Besides…”
“…Besides?”
“From now on, I’m going to live for work instead of love.”
I said as I clasped my hands. Since I’ve been reincarnated, I should enjoy this time. In the past ten days, I’ve been constantly changing my mind. The work of the crown princess was a pain in the *ss, but I also knew that it was worthwhile. In any case, let’s make this country a better place with my power and Anastasia’s talent!
(After I’m done with that, I’ll divorce William-sama and move to the countryside to live a calm life!)
After improving this country to some extent… divorcing William-sama, and moving to the countryside, then I’ll enjoy the slow life! That is my ultimate goal!
(Hehe, it seems that I’m already looking forward to this. Human beings giving up is also important.)
Instead of living for love, I’ll live for work. I don’t want William-sama’s love. This will be my motto for the rest of my life. I thought this as I pleasantly smiled at Nina.
