Higeki no Genkyou to Naru Saikyou Gedou Last Boss Joou wa Tami no Tame ni Tsukushimasu. (The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior)

Our Ray of Light

In the spring of my 18th year,

I was considering replaying the first volume of the game I was obsessed with,

Princess?!

but unbelievably, the millisecond I thought that, my life ended all too soon.

Princess Pride! Please, wake up! Princess!

Someone, call the doctor!

I remember that previous life now.

Alert Her Highness and the Prince consort as well!

My name is Pride Royal Ivy.

I'm 8 years old, and daughter of the queen of the Kingdom of Freesia.

In short, I am the first-born princess.

But why, of all people, am I Pride?

I can't believe I've been reincarnated into the most despicable, fiendish last boss!

"The Selfish Princess Awakens"

This place I've been reincarnated into is an otome game

that I was obsessed with in my former life: "Our Ray of Light."

Also known as "ORL," I'm in the world of the first game in the series.

This me, Pride, reigned as the last boss who has committed a number of atrocities,

and in ten years time, she causes the downfall of this country.

In the process, she causes the love interests to be scarred for life.

In the end, she pays for her sins against the main character and the men with her own life.

Pride!

Father...

This person is my father, who I am the pride and joy of, the Prince consort of the kingdom.

Are you all right? The doctor did say that your life is not in danger, but...

Rosa was also very concerned about you.

Rosa Royal Ivy.

My mother, the most powerful leader in this country.

I hardly ever meet with my mother.

I've heard she's occupied with her duties as queen, but the true reason is...

Father.

Hm?

I... have a younger sister, don't I?

Right. If this is the game's world, she already exists.

My sister, who is two years younger, the second-born princess of this country,

and the protagonist of this world, Tiara Royal Ivy, is...

Why do you ask such a... I understand!

You already possess the same power of precognition as Rosa!

Ah, congratulations to you, Pride!

You are our nation's genuine crown princess!

What? This situation, this is not how the childhood memory scene that I saw in the game went!

For now, just rest. We'll talk in detail later. That includes your younger sister Tiara, as well.

The Kingdom of Freesia, the setting of the otome game "ORL"

is a mysterious country where it's possible for people with special abilities to be born.

Among the most valuable was the "precognition," regarded as divine revelations of the next monarch.

A great deal of the precognition holders are people next in line for the throne,

and women are especially granted the ability.

In the Kingdom of Freesia, it is customary for the next person to gain this ability to succeed to the throne.

Even in the game, there was a scene where 8-year old Pride correctly guessed the existence of her little sister.

That specifically is the moment where Pride obtains precognition, therefore succession to the throne,

and thus began the tragedy of this country.

But...

That's not the situation right now!

Right, I am an atrocious, self-centered princess.

I am the last boss of this world, who at the end of the route is convicted and dies.

In the single bad end route, either Tiara or the love interest dies.

Nevertheless,

I can't imagine going forward with the bad end while making use of memories of the previous life I had.

After all, Tiara and the love interest are good people who will do their best for their people, and for the country.

On the other hand, Pride never once considers using her precognition to be helpful.

As for the prediction this time, there was something more important than having a younger sister... Ah!

Where's my father?!

The prince consort headed to report the news to Her Royal Highness a short while ago.

Father!

No, I'm not seeing you off!

Princess! Please stop!

Stay back! I will not tolerate you stopping me!

Father! You mustn't ride the carriage!

That carriage has a broken wheel! You'll get into an accident before you meet with Mother!

Check the wheel immediately!

Thank goodness...

In the game, Pride couldn't predict her father's accident that would happen soon after.

But since I knew the game in my previous life...

I deeply apologize, Princess!

Please forgive her insolence. This girl has nowhere else to go!

I beg you, please forgive her!

I can't believe I cause them this much terror.

That's right. So far I have acted as selfishly as I pleased.

We had done away with many a maid, with calls for punishment and the death penalty.

No, this is not as simple as just selfishness...

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry!

Pride!

Why are you crying? Are you injured?

Or have these people done something to you?

No!

I am the one at fault, Father!

If you must punish someone, let it be me...

I understand very well since I have memories from my previous life where I had lived to 18 years old.

The terror of having the power, and the suffering of the people that would bend to my every whim...

I have only a mere 10 years of life left, and I will do my best to remember only this.

Because I am the first-born princess of this country.

In one month, on Tiara's 6th birthday, the two of you will finally be allowed to meet.

Things will become busy after that.

As you are officially the next in line for the throne, there are a plethora of things to be learned.

Ah yes, I must also rush to find a younger brother to act as an assistant and invite him as an adopted child...

Huh?

Did he just say... younger brother?

You sound so foolish!

You won't get away with this! Never, ever, ever! I'm going to kill you no matter what!

You're going to kill me?

You couldn't possibly do such a thing.

After all, you just now...

I feel like I've been having bad dreams night after night.

I'm finished, Princess Pride. Princess Pride?

Yes?

I'm finished.

Thank you, Lotte.

Please come this way.

I'll be back soon, Jacques.

Yes, princess!

That selfish princess has been reformed, you say?

Yes, it is as if a goddess had come down from the heavens and resides within the princess.

Did she become someone worthy of the crown when she obtained her precognition?

I want to deny everything...

I'm just me, with the memories of my previous life. Nothing has changed.

The Pride in the game generally became even more atrocious due to gaining her precognition... What?

Wait... In the game, after Father's accidental death, Mother should have passed away as well.

But now, they're both alive and well.

Could it be that I can change the story in this world?!

Your brother-in-law is just over here, Your Highness. Please, enter.

There you are, Pride. I'll introduce you.
