My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!

I was born as the fourth prince of this country. I got the name Alan Stiart.

He was born twins with his brother, Geold, the third prince on one.

I spent most of my life in bed when I was very weak.

My mother and nanny all grew up tenderly adored.

Finally my body got sturdy, I started learning swordsmanship and academics in earnest, and I worked desperately to regain my lag with my brothers.

And every teacher praised me for being great, and honestly, I was on track.

But one time when I had an academic lecture with Geold, I realized.

Next to me thinking desperately about the problem, Geold quickly solved it with a cool face.

That was the same in the archery of swordsmanship. Even if I was desperate, Geold beat me as easily as if I were dealing with a baby.

I'm inferior to Geold. That's pretty...

I finally realized that.

Both the academic teacher and the swordsmanship teacher comforted me that Geold was special, so I had to lose, but I never learned with Geold after that.

And I took a distance from Geold...

One day, I heard it.

"No matter what Alan does, it's one thing."

"It's been a sick, sick life in bed for a long time, so I guess I can't help it."

"And even though you're twins, you're pathetic when you're so different from Master Geold."

"Sure, maybe they took all the good things in my stomach to Master Geold"

"Ha, you mean the rest of the blush that was taken in a good place"

"Dude, that would be too much"

It was the servants of the castle who had such a light mouth with laughter.

I felt like it was going to be dark in front of me.

I didn't even want to get out in front of you and blame you for being disrespectful...

"Master Geold took all the good places," the word stabbed me in the chest as if it were an indelible thorn.

Once you care about such a voice...

That felt whispered everywhere.

I felt everyone say swordsmanship teachers, academics teachers, and servants.

No matter how desperate I try...

Geold keeps coming over me with a cool face.

All the time, I was full of inferiority to Geold.

But no matter how aware I am of Geold, Geold shows no interest in me at all, and I'm not in his eyes...

That made me regret and suffer again...

And I kept my distance from Geold... and yet my remorse and bitterness grew.

It was the spring of eight when I heard that Geold was engaged like that.

The story of applying for an engagement himself to a much more powerful Duke's wife became the subject of discussion throughout the castle.

And then, after a few months, I decided on my engagement.

Of course, I didn't sign up myself like Geold did.

Only one other nobleman has come to appreciate the prince after he has no fiancée.

Thus, her fiancée, Mary Hunt, who was determined by political tactics, was fortunately a very adorable girl.

Girl with long eyelashes in big red and brown eyes, like a doll.

It was so adorable how hard I greeted him with a slightly smaller voice.

I was my youngest, so I was happy to have a pretty sister.

And she showed me the courtyard that she was taking care of.

It was a truly beautiful courtyard.

"That's a great garden," she praised, and Mary smiled.

Watching Mary like that reminds me of a book I read the other day titled "The Girl with the Green Hand".

I'm talking about a girl with a special hand that can grow plants well, a green hand.

Oh, Mary has green hands, doesn't she?

I open my mouth to tell Mary the story.

"The other day, you said you had a special hand called a green hand."

……

As if you'd read my mind. That's what Mary said first, and I've lost the words that go on.

"That's what Catalina said the other day."

I wonder if you are uplifting your cheeks and remembering how it was then. The look on Mary's face, who stares into the void and talks, is like a maiden in love.

I just gaveled, "Ha," when I was perfectly busy.

But contrary to me returning such a proper gavel, Mary spoke fervently about Master Catalina.

Even then, every time she met, Mary talked enthusiastically about them with Master Catalina.

On the contrary, inviting him to tea would most likely turn him down as "I have a promise with Master Catalina".

What the hell is that guy called Catalina?

and was causing me a lot of dissatisfaction, but soon I knew who it was.

Catalina Kraes. Says she is the only daughter of the Kraes family and what a fiancée of Geold.

Geold takes everything from me with a cool face.

Now even Catalina, that Geold's fiancée, is trying to take Mary away from me...

I felt it getting dark in front of me again.

And when I realized it, I was in a carriage and headed to the Duke of Kraes' house.

A girl who came late to the guest room named her Catalina Kraes.

Girl with brown hair in her watery eyes. I hear the years are the same.

Her face is not scrupulous, but her watery eyes are a girl with a definite hanging and tough impression.

I always wondered what kind of pretty girl Mary was because she was Geold's fiancée and admired her... but it felt like she was eating a shoulder watermark.

I told Catalina about Mary so quickly.

"Mary Hunt became my fiancée. You know what?"

"Yes, I know."

I get annoyed with Catalina, who answers Shirai.

"If you know, don't tempt me too much!!

"... are you tempting me?!?

Catalina opened her water-colored eyes. An attitude that I don't remember at all.

I screamed even more annoyingly.

"You're going to be here for a while! Even if I ask you out, you always say 'I have a promise to Catalina today', and even if we're together, it's almost all about you! That and this. Good thing Mary is pure, you must be tempting!

"Hey, that's an argument!

Catalina even lifted her suspended eyes even more.

"What's the point! It must be true! Look at me like that, and hang out with pure Mary!

"You're the one who invites Mary when she happens to be promising to come to us. It's your fault! Mostly, girls would follow you if you were invited by someone really attractive! I'm not attracted to you! Besides, you're only talking about me because your story is boring!

"... unattractive... boring..."

I accidentally lost my word.

Sure, I've been punched in the pussy with princes and such who have taken all the good places by Geold...

It was the first time I had ever been ridiculed for being so face-to-face.

Too much, I even laugh.

"... heh heh. This is the first time I've ever been ridiculed for being so face-to-face."

"... uh-huh. And now..."

"You're ready, Catalina Kraes. Take that tantrum as a challenge to me."

And I went to Catalina and proclaimed it high.

"Fight me."

I wonder why the hell this happened. Standing in front of a tree, I think.

Sure, I must have challenged Catalina Kraes earlier.

If men cross swords, they apply for battles, but they are women.

As a result, Catalina was allowed to choose how to compete.

So my prediction was that it would be a board game such as chess...

"Well, please climb a tree"

Catalina, it uttered an unfamiliar word.

Tree climbing? What's that?

I knew it as a word, and I know what it was like...

So far, I've lived eight years and I've never done anything like that.

In the first place, if it's a civilian child, I haven't even seen noble children climbing trees.

But if you're asked, 'Could you possibly climb a tree' or something like that, in your pride as a man, you accidentally say, 'That's not true! Take it and stand,' I replied.

And now, this is how trees as tall in the garden stand alongside Catalina in front.

By the way, the rules of the game are simpler to win by going up to the top first.

Sure, the pros and cons may be easy to apply.

But I don't know how to climb in the first place because I've never wanted to climb a tree in my life before.

But you can't just not do it here more than once.

I made up my mind and wrapped my clothes around my sleeves.

"So, Master Alan. Are you ready?

"... oh, anytime."

"Then you will give the first signal to the servant."

"Oh, wow."

And as the servants watched, the battle began.

And it ended right away.

The result was a tragic failure.

I didn't know how to climb in the first place. I managed to climb the first branch, but I was confused without knowing how to go from there.

And Catalina was climbing sultry and trees with me like a monkey child at such a point, quickly following me to the top.

Why Catalina, the Duke's maid of honor, climbs trees so well...

In the first place, why did a young lady born in the Duke's house think to climb a tree, etc...

In many ways it was riddled with mystery and I was completely confused.

"Dear Alan. Now that we have the battle, are you ready?"

But to Catalina, who has turned such a good face at me - I said it unexpectedly.

"Compete again! I'm just not used to it."

"I don't mind. You can't beat me that easily."

"Where I want it!

But no matter how many times I did it, I was no match for Catalina, who climbed a tree as fast as a monkey.

For this reason, it was decided to carry over the rematch at a later date.

It's been weeks since I started challenging Catalina to battle.

On several occasions, I have noticed it while challenging Catalina to battle.

That means Catalina is always serious.

I don't get out of hand because I'm a prince.

And you always look straight at me.

Nothing has ever really challenged me like this before.

And all this time, no matter how hard you try, you won't transfer me to those eyes, brother...

Catalina's straight eyes and genuine attitude lightened my chest pain a little bit.

I was always looking forward to going to Catalina.

But that day came.

"Geold!? Why are you here!

I accidentally raised my voice to my brother, who suddenly appeared in the Kraes family.

"What a strange thing to say. This is my fiancée's house, so there's nothing wrong with being here."

Geold gave it back with his usual spare smile.

Sure, you're right, so there was no word to give it back.

And at some point, I was surprised at myself for completely forgetting that Catalina was Geold's fiancée.

"Ugh... anyway, I'm going to compete with this guy today, so stay out of my way"

"It's that battle, but they haven't won it many more times, have they? Shouldn't it be time to give up now"

That said Geold's eyes were very cold.

"Master Geold took all the good places," that word begins to turn his head around again.

"... no!! We haven't got a fight yet! Even I can do it! Even I..."

Don't look down on me! Don't be ridiculous!

I felt it getting dark in front of me again...

The usual sense of severe agony strikes my chest, which has been lightening lately, again.

No... I don't feel good...

"... Oh, that Alan lady. Good. Are you sure you want to change the contents of the match? Because if you climb too many trees, it's time for your mother to tear you apart and piss you off."

Catalina's face, who had abruptly spoken that way, was a lowered frown. What a loose face between.

When I looked at that face, the painful sensation in my chest faded slightly.

This Catalina proposal changed the tree climbing battle to a piano battle.

He moved to a room with a piano and started the fight.

I started by playing a practice song for kids from Catalina.

Catalina played while making a few small mistakes.

Following that, I headed to the piano.

Thus, when the performance was over, the people in the room applauded.

Raise your voice like Catalina was excited.

"Wow. Dear Alan, you're really good."

Catalina has praised it as if it were the teachers of the castle.

I'm sure this will flatter you, too.

"Nothing, it's not a big deal"

"That's not true. Isn't that a great talent?"

"... there's nothing I can call talent"

Sure, I enjoy and am better at touching instruments than swordsmanship and academia...

Great talent...... I don't have one of those. I got all the good stuff taken by Geold. I'm gonna leave it.

I'm sure I'm no match for Geold for what he did...

"Catalina was right, it was really great."

Geold said with his usual cropped smile.

I can do anything. My brother must be making fun of me.

I felt like it was getting dark in front of me again.

The pain in my fading chest strikes me again.

"... you don't think... stop flattering me! Anyway, you're making fun of me for thinking I can't do anything."

I can't stand being in the same space as Geold anymore.

It makes me feel like everyone is making fun of me.

I would have popped out of my room if I had noticed.

I was going to run to the dark clouds, but if I noticed, I'd always come to the tree place where I was competing with Catalina.

For a while, when I was standing in front of a tree, I saw signs of people and looked up.

I thought the servant had come to see how things were going, but why there was Catalina standing there.

I squealed unexpectedly.

"... you've come to laugh too"

"Huh?"

"... you've come to laugh at me saying you don't care enough to play the piano a little bit"

"... he said he could play the piano a little... I don't think that was a little bit more level. It's a great talent."

"Compliments are good. I can't do anything anyway. The rest of Geold."

This daughter named Catalina felt different from the castle people somewhere, but she was still the same.

Boring flattery. And you must laugh at me in the shadows.

I know exactly what I can't do.

Because that's what they keep saying all the time...

"... I'm not flattering you... how can Alan be so unsure?

"Ha. I've been compared to Geold ever since I was born, and whatever I do, I can't beat him. How can you be confident when you keep telling me all the good things about Geold in your stomach are left behind that they took with them?"

Catalina just shut up when I threw it away in a mockery... it looked like...

"I don't think it's a good idea."

This warrant lady did not shut up so easily.

"... what do you mean?

I stared at Catalina a lot.

"Er, well... there are things that Geold is good at and doesn't like, and I guess Alan has things that Alan is good at, which means they're unsuitable and obvious."

"Are you unsuitable... So, what's not good for Geold? I've never heard of it before."

Geold makes everything look cool and easy.

I have lived in the same castle since I was born with food lovers and dislikers and bad ones but I never heard of them at all.

Perfect and impeccable, that's Geold.

It's not like me to leave.

But...

"Pfft. You know what I don't like about Mr. Geold."

Catalina, it gave me a good grin.

"You don't like it, Mr. Geold."

"... what's that?

I accidentally drink and watch.

I could see Geold coming looking for us not coming back there.

Then, with that geold in mind, Catalina threw something away.

"Wow!?

All of a sudden, Geold, thrown something in front of him, raised his voice and flew away.

That was a panic I had never seen before.

"Hey, wait a minute. What Geold doesn't like is in the end. And now, what the hell did you throw?"

I accidentally crammed into Catalina like Geold's too messy.

Then Catalina said it again with a face she seemed to be good at.

"That's a snake."

"Snake!?

I was stunned by the unexpected answer.

"... but it's a crop, because if it's real, it can't move and leave it in your pocket"

"... no, I don't think snakes are something to put in your pocket before then... why did you throw it now"

"So I told you I'd teach you something you didn't like about Mr. Geold."

"What do you not like... snakes!?

"That's right. Though I thought it was thin, I was convinced by my earlier reaction. Master Geold doesn't like snakes."

Catalina, that's what she told me.

I don't know why, but I'm very proud of that face.

But... what Geold doesn't like is snakes...

I had no idea.

Or rather than wanting to know that I'm not good at that, as far as I'm concerned, I wanted to know that I'm not good at academics or this kind of skill in swordsmanship...

And a snake...

But... I've never seen Geold look so confused before...

To be honest, I was quite surprised at the way it looked.

And even to Catalina, who was so good at throwing snake toys at a prince in one country.

Let's withdraw our thoughts. Again, this girl named Catalina is completely different from the castle people.

Unlike normal aristocratic children. It's a completely strange young lady.

That's how Catalina grabbed me by Geold at some point while I was touring my thoughts alone.

And approaching Twitch Catalina, Geold was angry.

Well, it doesn't feel like you're seriously mad, but it's kind of like you're making fun of Catalina.

The geold I know looked boring, always laughing with the same cropped smile.

I'm not interested in everything in the world. It even looked that way.

And yet, I don't know about Geold right now. I mean it when Catalina throws me a snake toy, and I'm angry and angry at it.

Is this really Geold?

If I stared, apparently, Geold was going to snitch on Catalina's mother for her evil deeds.

Catalina, who was so good at it earlier, is turning bright blue.

Until earlier in the first place, it's also completely unclear why I was so proud.

Now I'm desperately apologizing to Geold for not crying anymore.

The condition was even a little pitiful... but more than that, it was too ridiculous.

I couldn't stand it and burst into laughter with my stomach.

I laughed so much that I was laughing and crying.

I've never laughed so much.

I laughed so much that I cried, I kind of felt like what I'd been accumulating flowed with my tears...

Bright in front of me, lighter breasts.

Eventually, Catalina was taken by the Duchess of Kraes, so we headed back to the castle.

When I got to the castle, I called out to Geold.

"You had something you didn't like, too."

I would have spoken naturally if I realized, but honestly, it's been a really long time since I've spoken to Geold from my side.

And always a gentle grin, Geold distorts his face just a little bit to my words.

I've never seen his expression like this before.

"Not that I'm bad at it, but I just don't like it very much."

The face that says that is kind of not laughing better than usual.

Doesn't that mean you don't like it very much? I kind of got funny on the unexpected side of my brother that I thought was invincible.

"I thought there was nothing you didn't like and couldn't do"

But that was just my assumption.

Too much in the shadows. I was somehow not a natural Geold, creating a menacing existence in me.

And I didn't see the real Geold myself.

Even Geold doesn't like anything. Just like me.

I was able to notice that today thanks to that strange lady.

"Whatever you don't like, you can't do it."

"For example?"

Asked Geold, who somehow wasn't feeling well in the book, he gave it back with a bitter smile.

"For example, predicting Catalina Kraes' behavior."

"... it is, indeed..."

I laugh unexpectedly.

Climbing trees like monkeys, all of a sudden, the behavior of a woman throwing a snake toy at me seems unreadable even with just Geold.

I also remembered that good Catalina face when I threw a snake toy at Geold.

Nature and cheeks loose. Looks like I'll have fun just remembering that face for a while.

"Speaking of which, we didn't end up fighting Catalina again today, are we going to go to the fight again?

"Uh-huh. Right. I don't know if that's enough."

I think about it, but I kind of didn't care about the battle anymore.

My heart was calm, as if I had ever stuck to battle and was so focused on winning and losing.

"Well, I won't see you at the Kraes' anymore, will I?"

"Oh, why?

I accidentally got to the point. I didn't know what Geold was talking about.

"Why, if the battle is over, you don't have to go anymore."

"... no, it may be true"

Sure, I was going to the Kraes to compete with Catalina, so if you don't want to compete, I don't need you anymore...

I got watery eyes looking straight at me.

I have no direct contact with my brother's fiancée, though. I barely get to see that girl again unless I head out to the Klaes house.

I really didn't like that.

I'm thinking. Geold's been turning some serious face on me. I've never seen a face like this before.

"She's my fiancée."

I know that. Gioldo grinned bitterly again as he put his neck around what it was again.

"Are you unconscious? But I'm never gonna give it to you."

When Geold had such a good invincible grin, he left me and just went back to his room.

I missed my departing brother's back, not sure.

Until now, my chest was hurting just to see what it looked like, and now I'm fine.

I didn't suddenly like Geold, but I didn't feel as black as I ever felt anymore.

Following Geold, I'm heading to my room, too.

When I saw two trees lined up in the garden on the way over, I saw the face of that strange lady climbing the tree again.

Today, Catalina, whose mother has pissed me off, may be depressed.

This is the one who took the battle, and I feel like I have the responsibility.

Next time, let's go apologize.

And then we'll take even her favorite treat to a souvenir.

I'm sure, as usual, my cheeks lift naturally again, imagining the way they would eat cheeky, full of mouth as squirrels.
