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)

The path to the Fairy King has been spoken of only among the royal family

of Marinforest for generations.

It is a light of hope

that one loved by the king left for their descendants.

Beyond here is where I'll find Tiara.

Elliot, you wait here.

I can't do that.

I am Your Highness's attendant.

I cannot allow my master to go alone.

All right.

Prince Aquasteed is always so calm and collected,

but not when it comes to his beloved Lady Tiararose, it seems.

I must be there to support him.

I will save Tiara, whatever it takes.

Right. Let's go!

The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom

Hold Me... Tighter

This is a rather impressive path.

The type I imagine the Forest Fairy King would like.

Yes. Keith, the Fairy King, is most likely up ahead.

I just have no way of knowing how far.

It is a magic path, after all.

I've been trying to search and inspect the surrounding area,

but it isn't working.

I see.

If you can't do it, it would be difficult for anyone.

If something happens to Tiara while we're stuck here...

Prince Aquasteed!

Thorns? What in the world is this?

It's a trap set by the Forest Fairy King.

A trap? But why?

He must really not want us to go any further.

Tiara...

I'll be taking her.

Prince Aquasteed, please don't press too far forward.

We don't know what traps might lie ahead. It's dangerous.

No matter how dangerous it may be, I'm still going.

I have to get to Tiara as quickly as possible.

Prince Aquasteed!

Move aside, sky!

Let's hurry, Elliot.

R-Right.

I can't tell who is whose attendant anymore.

Tiara...

Oh, Tiara's awake!

Tiara!

Tiara!

Have some fruit with us!

They're so cute.

But... why are there fairies here?

Oh, that's right.

Keith brought me here against my will.

I need to get back quickly.

K-Keith?

The king isn't here right now.

Play with us, Tiara!

What? I don't mind playing, but I want to go back to the castle for now.

Eat this! Eat this!

All right, I will.

It's delicious!

Eat this, too!

It's a strawberry!

We have apples, too!

Well, I can't turn down the fairies' goodwill.

Eat lots!

This is too much!

I can't eat this much!

Thank you. I'm full now.

Oh, good!

Was it yummy?

Yes, very. All the blessings of the forest are so delicious.

It's as if the forest is enveloping me.

It feels so comfortable and calming, but...

Fairies, I'd like to go home to the castle.

How can I do that?

You're leaving already?

We want to play!

I'm sorry. I'll play with you next time.

This way.

This way, this way!

Come this way!

That way?

What? A kitchen?

But why...

The king had it prepared just for you.

What? Keith did?

It did seem like he enjoyed the sweets I made, but...

These are sweet.

And these are salty.

And these are very spicy!

So they're flowers and nuts to use as seasonings?

May I taste them?

You may!

That's sweet!

The pink flowers are sugar,

and the blue ones are salt.

The red flowers are spicy,

and I bet I could use the yellow ones as pepper.

These make a tasty soup when you stew them!

The fairies of the forest are amazing!

Tiara, make some sweets!

Make sweets!

What? Right now?

B-But seeing Prince Aqua is my first priority right now.

Please!

We'll help!

And when the sweets are done, we'll show you the way!

We'll help! We'll help!

I guess you're not going to let me go home until I make some sweets.

This feels so strange.

The ingredients aren't what I usually use,

so I'm kind of looking forward to seeing how they taste.

We'll put in the flowers!

Flutter, flutter!

Huh? That's the sweet flower I tasted before.

It's not as sweet as sugar, and it looks nice, so I guess it's fine.

I wish I had these seasonings.

But...

How would it look if I told the guy who kidnapped me that I wanted seasonings?

I'll finish up with some flowers for garnish, and...

The cupcakes are done!

Yummy!

Cupcakes are yummy!

I'm so glad. Now, be sure to take me to the exit, okay?

You can count on us!

We'll take you there, Tiara!

Here it is!

Open it! Open it!

I'm finally at the exit!

This is...

not an exit.

Just what is this place?

Is that a throne?

It seems so lonely somehow.

I need to get back now. Prince Aqua might be worried about me.

He saw me with Keith.

If I saw Keith with another girl, I'd be jealous.

I don't want any more misunderstandings between us.

Who's Prince Aqua?

He's my fiancé.

Is that the person you love?

Yes. I love him very much.

Prince Aqua has made his love for me very clear.

And yet...

The compelling force of an otome game is a terrifying thing.

I really don't understand humans at all.

Huh?!

K-Keith?!
