Orcia La Luna Charlotte.

Charlotte for short.

The princess of the neighboring kingdom of Orcia.

She came to the empire as an industrial spy and smiled at me with a friendly smile.

“Sinclair Damian.”

“Do you know me, Princess Charlotte?”

“Of course I know. Rumors are spreading even in our kingdom. A genius of the empire.”

“… You’re a genius It’s embarrassing to hear it yourself.”

Appeal to moderate humility.

If a person with a high reputation is even humble, the likability will naturally increase.

As expected, Charlotte gave a satisfied smile at my intended appearance.

Looks like a hunter who found a good game.

She spoke in a tone that half blended her arrogance with her confidence.

“If there is no place to sit, sit next to me. And, let’s use half words. This is the academy, right?”

“… Then, excuse me.”

Push-

I sat next to Charlotte.

At that moment, I felt a tingling sensation from far away.

It’s Nadia.

‘… I wonder if it’s because he didn’t sit next to me, but sat next to Charlotte. In common sense, I tore the area around my heart with my fingernails. It’s strange that you expected me to sit down.’

Isn’t it my fault for wanting common sense from the wicked woman in the first place?

Nadia stares at me so blatantly that even the other students notice.

A sharp gaze pierced me from a distance, but I turned my head and tried to ignore it.

Seeing that, Charlotte asked if she was curious.

“Because he is a genius of the empire, he receives a lot of intense stares. Do you know that woman? Ex-lover?”

“This is the young lady I had a little relationship with. It’s nothing.”

“Hmm, is that so? That’s why I don’t seem to like you very much. Or is it the other way around?”

“… “

I didn’t bother to answer that.

Because there is nothing more stupid than giving information through my mouth to someone who is trying to explore me.

‘Explore me diligently to see if I am suitable for the kingdom, Charlotte.’

I will be hiding in the fog of the name genius.

It makes me curious with a moderate sense of mystery that is hard to see.

And then, using that sense of mystery, I increase my value within Charlotte.

To hide the fact that I am a fake genius.

People are interested in things they don’t know well and value them highly.

‘I have to deal with all the eyes of that woman who kidnaps the male protagonist, the crown prince, in order to supply talent.’

As in the original story, the crown prince is kidnapped by Charlotte, so that war between the empire and the kingdom does not break out.

Instead of the crown prince, I must become the greatest value in Charlotte.

‘As long as it succeeds… The war from the original won’t happen, and the family will be safe.’

My younger brother, who will be born soon, will not grow up as a child without a father.

In the original work, the head of the Sinclair family dies in the war.

To make sure that doesn’t happen.

I asked looking at Charlotte.

“I have a question. May I ask?”

“Yes, ask. Don’t go too deep.”

“Why did you enter the academy?”

“… It’s a strong question from the start, it’s fun.”

Charlotte glared at me with her unique gold eyes as if she were having fun.

Behind that arrogant expression, the calculator must be working hard.

She replied with her eyes half-closed and a relaxed expression.

“Is there any other purpose for entering the academy? Of course, I entered to study. What do you think I entered for a relationship?”

“Maybe.”

“Are you a princess?”

“Even princesses fall in love. Would the crown prince do it too?”

Flinching-

You were eavesdropping on me.

Our original heroine trembled.

‘Please date the crown prince without any problems.’

Lest that cold-blooded bastard be executed.

The heroine of the original work had to hold onto the crown prince.

Before that, I have to rehabilitate the villains so they don’t have accidents.

As I was looking at the heroine for a moment, Charlotte poked me on the cheek.

“Concentrate. You were talking to me.”

“I was thinking about something else for a second, sorry.”

“By the way, you are not prejudiced, are you? Even a princess is dating.”

From noble mtl dot com

I asked knowingly.

“Then why not?”

“… I can’t do it even if I want to The princess of the Kingdom of Orcia can’t do that.”

Charlotte’s expression was dark when she spoke clearly.

I knew all about her family history, so I didn’t ask any more about that part.

“Professor is coming in. I will start class.”

“That’s right, if there’s something I don’t understand, I’ll ask, since it’s next to me. Are you fine?”

“… Okay.”

I nodded lightly.

“Thank you.”

There was no soul in Charlotte’s answer.

Charlotte originally came from the position of an industrial spy.

She seemed to have no intentions and no limits to this academy.

‘Unfortunately.’

She was like me.

***

Shoot ah-

Charlotte slammed her face into her sink and washed her face with cold water.

Eopoo- Eopoo-

When I looked up and looked in the mirror, I saw Charlotte with an arrogant expression.

She hated that look.

“My original face is… What kind of face was it… ?”

I forgot.

I can’t remember what my face was originally.

I stood up by stepping on a corpse to survive.

Now I can’t remember what my face was.

“Who am I… ? Today is Orcia’s princess Charlotte, right? ?”

I had to be arrogant to protect the princess’s authority.

I had to prove my worth.

As a result, I did things that shouldn’t be done as a human being.

No matter how much I wash my face and wash my hands, they are still stained with blood.

Even though his skin was white and clear.

“Damn… ! sh*t… !! sh*t… !!!”

Shoot ah-

Charlotte rubbed her hands vigorously in the running water.

Her skin peeled off, and her flesh rose red.

Still, she had no intention of stopping her action.

“I… who am i… ? Whose hands are these dirty hands… ?”

I don’t know.

However, there is work that must be done.

To take talented people to the kingdom and prove their existence.

“If you don’t want to die like the other sisters… I need to get my hands dirty… No matter how dirty you have to wash your hands… “

Charlotte speaks with herself in the mirror, uttering obsessive words.

At that moment, a female student entered the bathroom.

She knew Charlotte’s true identity.

“Uh, that… Princess of Orcia… ?”

“… “

It seems that the monologue that was spoken a moment ago was never there from the beginning.

Charlotte said with a smile.

“You are a princess. However, there is no status at the academy, so please use short language.”

“Ah… ! Thank you… !”

“Then, I’m done. I’ll go out first.”

Putting on her mask as usual, Charlotte went out of the bathroom.

Rose, the black-haired escort knight, stood still in front of him.

She asked anxiously, looking at Charlotte, her face wet.

“… Princess Charlotte. I’m fine today-“

“It’s okay, don’t make a fuss and worry.”

I am Charlotte.

“My name is Charlotte, Princess of Orcia. I haven’t forgotten.”

“… I understand, Princess.”

The mask stuck to me like leather because I had been wearing it for so long.

Charlotte walked to the next class as if nothing had happened.

“Do your research properly about Sinclair Damian.”

“Yes, I understand. Princess.”

“I need to talk more to find out. It doesn’t look good. Instead… “

Your hair looks better than the first-ranked prince.

Befitting his reputation as a genius.

By the way.

“If you don’t choose a method, I think you can easily seduce him.”

Charlotte spit on his lips as if looking for prey.

Seeing that, Rose…

‘I miss the old days of the princess.’

I missed the kind Charlotte of those days.

But he knew he had no choice but to survive.

I buried my sad feelings in my heart.

***

After class.

Charlotte got up and ran out of the classroom.

‘Has he gone mad again?’

Double personality.

To be precise, dissociative identity disorder.

A disease that causes identity problems due to a great shock in childhood.

It is a personality disorder that is formed mainly because it is not a perfect environment for growth.

Charlotte, who has been through a lot since childhood, is confused about her identity.

Unfortunately.

‘… Who am I to pity?’

I am also in a pitiful situation.

After justifying myself with a bit of self-pity.

I got up and tried to quickly head down the hallway.

However.

Nadia, who had been glaring at me during class, never taking her eyes off me, was approaching me.

‘If you run away now… It’ll probably cause a commotion.’

I won’t kill anyone if I run away.

I will wipe out all the people in the hallway to catch me.

It just gets in the way of the purpose.

I sighed and decided to accept my fate.

‘I wanted to talk to the female lead.’

We need to talk later.

In the first place, you shouldn’t have a conversation with the heroine in front of the villains.

I said to Nadia, who was approaching.

“You wounded me last time, and you are coming with confidence.”

“You gave me a diamond mine. Isn’t that enough reward? And, you are now inside our academy.”

Short words.

“Should I write as before, Damian?”

“… “

Between Damian and Damian.

Poke the odd part.

To induce me to err, to make me admit it.

“I don’t think it’s good to keep suspecting that I’m someone else, even though I’ve confirmed that I don’t have proof.”

“Okay, prove it. The fact that you are not Darmian.”

Nadia said, holding my hand forcibly.

“Or should I prove it myself? Like last time.”

However, at that moment.

“Get your hands off me. You drawing kid.”

Tak-

A bluebell suddenly appeared and slashed Nadia’s hand.

Have you heard rumors about what Nadia did to me last time?

Bluebell said something he shouldn’t have said to Nadia.

“Why are you mistaking Damian for someone else? I can’t even draw pictures well.”

“… Cancel that.”

“What?”

“Cancel it. Unless you want to die.”

The picture is Nadia’s Rebellion.

If you provoke a painter, a big problem will arise in the world.

Nadia’s demeanor changes, and her danger signs are detected in my heart.

‘It’s dangerous… ‘

Nadia is trying to break her oath.

Trying to kill someone.

A pang in my heart, the sign warned me.

“If you don’t cancel, I’ll kill you and I’ll kill Damian too. Cancel right away.”

Currently, she harbored her intentions towards Bluebell.

‘But, why am I killing myself… ?’

She was a little suspicious.
