The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom (悪役令嬢は隣国の王太子に溺愛される)

Lapis Lazuli Academy

Lady Tiararose!

Tomorrow is our graduation.

It's so sad to think that I won't see you anymore.

We'll have opportunities to meet again.

I'll always be here in the Kingdom of Lapis Lazuli.

You are the future queen, after all!

When is your wedding to Prince Hartknights?

After graduation, I'll undergo bridal training for a year,

and then we will hold our wedding in the cathedral.

Once you are queen, peace in Lapis Lazuli will be assured.

I will do my best to live up to everyone's expectations.

I am Tiararose Lapis Clamentile,

the daughter of the marquis who was bestowed the Lapis name

and fiancée of the crown prince.

Prince Hartknights.

What's this?

His expression looks somewhat grim.

Has something happened?

Prince Hartknights!

Why?

This can't be!

After all, I am...

Huh?

I am...

Prince Hartknights is gorgeous!

He's truly gorgeous.

Sweet! A new event CG!

And that's the Hartknights route cleared!

The otome game, The Ring of Lapis Lazuli.

The Ring of Lapis Lazuli

I loved it so much, I couldn't put it down.

How dare you?

You're an eyesore.

You're an eyesore.

Is that me?

I remember now.

That was my previous life.

The Ring of Lapis Lazuli

And that young lady with the nasty attitude is...

No... I'm...

a villainess?

I reincarnated as a villainess...

You're awake?

Your Highness!

You should get some more sleep.

I'm arranging a carriage for you now.

Hartknights Lapislazuli Lactomuth.

He's the main route in the otome game

and the first prince of the Kingdom of Lapis Lazuli.

A character in the game I played is right in front of me!

You passing out like that is a first.

Were you trying to catch my eye because I was giving Akari so much attention?

Huh?

His eyes are so cold.

He's nothing like the Hartknights in the game.

No. I seem to be a bit under the weather.

I apologize for the trouble.

Well, I am your fiancé, technically.

"Technically."

I know tomorrow is the graduation party, but I have business to attend to.

I apologize, but I don't think I'll be able to escort you there.

I understand.

Is there any greater humiliation than not being escorted to a party by your fiancé?!

But I know what happens in the story from this point on,

The Ring of Lapis Lazuli

because I played the game so many times.

The main route in the game

is the crown prince of the Kingdom of Lapis Lazuli, Hartknights.

The heroine enrolls at the academy with her powerful magic, the Holy Prayer,

and meets Hartknights.

He's the most popular student there,

and he constantly showers the heroine with affection.

He smiles kindly at her,

whispers sweet lines to her...

and after the ending scene, they have a grand wedding at the cathedral.

But I'm not the heroine.

I'm the villainess.

Know your place! You're only a commoner!

Know your place! You're only a commoner!

m 0 0 l 230 0 l 230 215 l 0 215

Tiararose

m 0 0 l 230 0 l 230 215 l 0 215

I am a more suitable match for His Highness.

Tiararose the villainess treats the heroine harshly

m 0 0 l 230 0 l 230 215 l 0 215

Tiararose

m 0 0 l 230 0 l 230 215 l 0 215

You're in my way! Move!

because she doesn't want to lose the prince.

At the graduation party, she's condemned for her contempt of the heroine,

and her engagement is called off.

m 0 0 l 230 0 l 230 215 l 0 215

Tiararose

m 0 0 l 230 0 l 230 215 l 0 215

Grr! How infuriating!

Grr! How infuriating!

But I haven't done anything that mean.

I'd like to avoid the condemnation event if I can, but...

Today is the day before the game's ending.

The condemnation event is unavoidable at this point.

Only a bad ending awaits me.

What happens to the villainess after the condemnation event, again?

I do know this much:

there is no happy ending where the villainess ends up with someone.

Welcome home, Lady Tiararose.

Philine Sunfist

Philine Sunfist

Thank you, Philine.

The Lapis name is an honor bestowed upon the families

of those who perform great deeds for the royal family.

Welcome home, Tiararose.

Welcome home.

Thank you.

What brought this on? You rarely welcome me home personally.

We found a lovely accessory you can wear at your wedding with the prince.

I was so excited to show you.

And we received some of the sweets you like.

Let's eat them together.

You won't have many more opportunities to eat sweets.

Now, dear, it's too soon to start crying.

I know that. I'll miss Tiara, but her happiness comes first.

As the daughter of the marquis who was granted the Lapis name,

I've been undergoing training to become queen since I was young.

As the crown prince's fiancée,

I've worked hard at studying all sorts of subjects.

If it seems like your husband is about to take a wrong turn,

make sure you correct him.

My father, the prime minister, taught me that.

It may have been strenuous at times,

but I did it all out of love for Prince Hartknights.

But... it seems that didn't get through to Prince Hartknights.

I loved his character, too...

Maybe I'll just skip tomorrow's graduation party.

No, I can't.

It would be a bad look for the daughter of the marquis with the Lapis name to be absent.

The last thing I want to do is trouble my dear mother and father.

Hartknights' change of heart is in line with the game's story.

I can't change my own role as the villainess, either.

If I were the heroine, I could've had a happy ending,

but I don't know what's going to happen to me now...
