The Villainess’ Beloved Plan: The Struggles to Avoid a Doomed End

Sophia was in a good mood because she was able to get Randall’s “sympathy picture”. She can’t save it as a “picture” in the game, but it’s already saved deep in her heart.

Three days after that, Sophia’s cold was completely cured. For the past three days, Sophia was in such a good mood that she would even hum a song, but Orion was disappointed at her.

“Well, if you’re satisfied with that, won’t you reach damnation? The progress is very little.”

“Don’t pour cold water on people’s happiness!”

Randall is still sleeping in the castle and did not return to his mansion. As Orion says, it can be said that the relationship between the two has hardly progressed.

“Mistress, the chef is asking me which sweets you would like to eat, fig tart or cake?”

When Isolte came to the room and asked, Orion replied, “Tart!” Before Sophia could reply.

“Why are you replying when it’s my snack?”

“It’s okay, I’ll eat too.”

Isolte smirked as she left.

“Sophia and Orion are really good friends.”

　The fact that Orion is actually a woman was explained to the servants of the Duke’s family, including Isolte. Because she’s living here as Sophia’s escort, and unlike when she was in the castle, she can’t keep it secret. They were surprised, but convinced and relieved that Orion was a woman. It seems that they were worried about leaving a man beside the mistress.

　Isolte went back to tell the chef about today’s snack menu and stopped when she suddenly remembered.

“Oh yeah, I received an invitation from the castle.”

“Invitation?”

“Yes. Now that Johannes is looking inside, someday–“

　Butler Johannes came before Isolte finished speaking.

　Johannes smiled gently as he handed the invitation to Sophia.

“It’s a dance party.”

“The social season has begun”.

Sophia nodded and was relieved, checking her invitation.

“I’m sorry Orion, I can’t dance!”

　It’s been about a year and a half since she was taken over to the castle at the age of fourteen and married at sixteen.

　It’s not that she couldn’t get a teacher, however, Sophia’s education was not sufficient due to various obstacles set up by the queen and her half-siblings.

　Sophia has at least some knowledge because she has the memory of 17 years of her previous life. She, however, didn’t have the education needed to live as a princess in this country, for example, her knowledge of dance was devastating.

Until she got married at the age of sixteen, she had never attended a dance party since the dance teacher, who was supposed to teach her, was chosen by the queen. At best, she can only dance folk dances that she danced in her previous life. It’s totally useless.

　The dance party invitation is addressed to Randall, Duke of Voltio, but if he attends, his partner will naturally be Sophia. Because Sophia is his wife.

　At the very least, the King would be furious if Randall appeared at a dance party with a woman other than his newly weded wife, Sophia. Sophia’s attendance is decided unless Randall declines the invitation to the dance party and Randall will not refuse. As he is the nephew of the king, he is obliged to attend the royal dance party.

When Isolte and Johannes left, Sophia cried at Orion.

“I have to do something! Tell me how to dance!”

“I can’t dance either.”

“Then what do we do! The dance party is … well, in the next ten days!”

“It’s over.”

Orion says without a care and Sophia considers strangling Orion.

“I wonder if I can refuse the dance party …?”

“It’s impossible, right?”

“That’s right …”

Sophia sank on the couch clenching the invitation.

Ten days? Is it possible to learn how to dance in ten days? If Orion doesn’t help, she will ask Johannes to hire a dance teacher. Speaking of Randall’s embarrassment, Johannes should be able to arrange it soon.

“Speaking of dance parties, wine incidents will happen.”

“Ah, there was Sophia’s case of red wine on Keira’s dress, right? But that’s two years away and I’m not going to spill wine on Keira’s dress.”

“That’s right but, I don’t know what will happen, so I’m just being careful so as to prevent it from happening. If I make a mistake, the end will be ruin right?”

“… Be careful”

Sophia shrugs.

Sophia is the “villainess” of this world. If she is not careful, she will lose herself as Orion says. She still can’t stop being alert because she was able to marry Randall. She has to aim to be a loving couple with him so that there will be no room for a condemnation event.

The road to a loving couple seems to be long…

“… Dance, if you can dance well Randall will have a better opinion about you, right?”

Orion said and pointed at Sophia “That’s it!”

Randall still considers Sophia to be a “fake princess and a commoner.” If Sophia behaves like a lady there, it will change the way he looks at Sophia!

Moreover, when it comes to dance, the distance between men and women is close. This is her chance to see that beautiful face up close.

Sophia was suddenly motivated
