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

My name is Sophia Ascarte.

She was born as the eldest daughter of the Earl of Ascartes family.

The gentle and reliable father is the prime minister of the kingdom and trusts the king.

And brother to my mother, who is as gentle and beautiful as my father.

Born into a wealthy and splendid house, he was blessed with a lovely family.

I was really endowed with a lot of happiness at birth.

Is that why...

Is it the price of too much happiness...

I was not born like the others.

Bright white hair as if all the pigments had fallen off, eyes as bright as blood.

My appearance was heterogeneous.

If I went outside, I was directed at a strange gaze, and some people wanted to pussy "the cursed child".

Still, my family made me so adorable.

My father who is gentle with my head, my mother who hugs me, my brother who is always beside me and protects me.

My sweet family says one day someone will show up who understands me...

I'm sure you'll tell me you can make some nice friends...

I didn't think such a person would show up.

That's why I locked myself in my room.

As far as possible, keep it out of people's eyes...

And I always read books in the room.

A lot of nice stories made me forget the hard reality.

I open my favorite book, it's a story of princess and girl friendship.

"Princess Emerald and Sophia"

The girl, one of the main characters, had the same name as me.

Sophia in the story is a girl who has eyes in beautiful dark hair and is bright and popular with everyone.

Under such a lovely Sofia, the princess of the country appears.

'Very, very pretty hair. Can I just touch it a little bit? "

The princess says that to Sophia and smiles. Sophia makes a smile.

A lovely story that I can't taste when I'm cursed.

So I fantasize about being the protagonist of a story in a single room.

Because only in my fantasy can I be a nice girl of the popular......

"Sophia, try attending a tea party that is a castle"

That's what my father said one day.

I've never been to a tea party before.

I didn't want to go out on something like that, even though if I could look odd because of this look if I went outside.

That's what I said and said no.

But my father, who usually pulls me right off, didn't quite shake my neck this day vertically.

"Look, Sophia. You have magic. So I have to go to school when I'm fifteen. You can't be caged in a room all the time. This tea party is hosted by the prince and brings many aristocratic children. Some of them go to school with you. If it's hard, you can come home early, so you have to get used to the outside world one by one."

Sure, magical I have to force myself to go to school when I'm fifteen.

I also knew I couldn't just cage in my room and fantasize all the time.

You have to get used to it, little by little.

I decided to join the tea party by squeezing my courage without it.

That's how I joined my brother in the first tea party of my life.

A brilliant tea party in the corner of the castle's garden.

There were so many people there I'd never seen before.

At first, I had a rare view of many confectionery and tea hangouts with my brother...

As soon as I was a little distracted from my brother, I was soon surrounded by some aristocratic children.

They all looked uniformly harsh.

And by them I was brought under a tree off the garden.

"You, I know this tea party is a very congratulatory place for the princes to host for the first time!

"That's right! With a cursed child like you, you ruin my congratulations!

"Mostly, that's something that came out in public a lot with such a disgusting look!

They cursed me, verbally.

I should have known you were creepy, and you hated me...

I bit my lips off all the time.

After all, I shouldn't have left the room.

All this time, if I'd been caged in a room, I wouldn't have seen it like this...

That's what I thought.

"Would you step aside?"

That well-traveled voice was heard right behind me.

When I looked back, there stood a girl with a majestic atmosphere as if she were Princess Emerald in the story.

The girl, with that one voice, easily drove those who were surrounding me.

I wasn't sure what the hell happened...

Still, I only found out that I was helped by this girl.

To me so blinded, the girl smiled gracefully and left refreshed.

I've been watching the girl's back for a while.

I then hid myself in the shade of a tree for a while, making sure they weren't near me earlier before I went back to the venue.

Then I stumbled upon an earlier girl.

I need to thank you for the help...

I shook up a lot of courage and called out to the girl.

"Um..."

The girl who looked back was a really grand hesitation, unchanged earlier.

"Um... earlier"

I can't speak well because of nervousness.

The girl's watery eyes stared at this one.

And the girl opened her mouth in large part.

"You have beautiful hair like silk. Do you mind if I touch it a little bit?"

"... Huh!?

That was the dialogue between Princess Emerald and Sophia, a story that I read back dozens of times.

Sophia, the protagonist of the bright and popular, meets a strange girl out of town at one point.

Girl with a majestic vibe.

"... Princess Emerald"

I was whining unexpectedly.

And then...

"Princess Emerald and I are from a romance novel! Do you know" Princess Emerald and Sophia "?

If I noticed, the girl in front of me was grabbing my shoulder.

I'm just confused.

Why the hell did this girl suddenly say Princess Emerald's dialogue...

And why am I being grabbed by this girl right now...

I didn't know what it was.

Besides...

So far, I've had a lot of strange eyes and cold eyes...

Somehow the girl is staring at me with her sparkling eyes.

I'm even more confused than I've ever been seen with such eyes.

And when I'm overwhelmed by the momentum of the girl, I don't know what it is, I'm just nodding at the questions that are rolled out...

"What are you doing, sister?

There was a sound of surprise coming from the side.

When I looked at the voice, a beautiful boy with blue eyes stood on his flax hair.

Apparently the boy knew the girl.

"Wow, I'm sorry"

The boy pointed me out. The girl let go of my shoulder.

And when I grabbed the hem of the dress, I bowed gracefully.

"Excuse me. My name is Catalina Kraes. Best regards,"

That's really a trick like the princess of a story that I can't help but see.

And I realized I had to name myself, and I returned my greetings in advance.

"... it's Sophia Ascarte"

Then something incredible happened.

"Dear Sophia! Why don't you talk to me if you don't mind?

Girl, that's what Catalina said about holding my hand.

What the hell is this kid talking about...

Are you making fun of me?

I just stood blind because I didn't understand the situation.

And...

"Dear Sophia. I was wondering if you could come by my house next time."

"... Ah, yes"

Soon I realized... I was going to Catalina's house.

While we exchanged promises, I couldn't tell if this was a reality or a dream that my usual fantasies were showing.

And finally, the day of the covenant came.

My kind brother was to accompany me, who had never been out on his own or anything.

One older brunette, a beautiful brother with black eyes, was always gently leaning against me to protect me.

The presence of my brother, who is still next door to me today, was very reliable.

In the Klaez family, who visited him so courageously, the servants who welcomed him looked surprised when they saw me.

I was used to that already...

I felt the courage I was squeezing was getting squishy.

Maybe they just made fun of me...

Anxious in the room she was put through, she showed up.

Rough breath on her upbeat cheeks, Catalina stared at us like she was in a hurry and said nothing.

Did they still just make fun of me...

Was it a failure to visit?

When I was solidifying without knowing what a word to utter, too, my relying brother spoke to Catalina first.

"Thank you for inviting my sister. My sister has hardly ever been out on her own, so I accompanied her. This is my brother Nicole."

To her brother's words, Catalina looked as if she had returned it to me.

"Welcome and thank you for coming. My name is Catalina Kraes."

Thanks for your help...... didn't I make fun of you......

Am I glad to be here?

"I'm Sophia's brother and I'm called Nicole Ascarte. Thank you very much."

Once again, my brother named me Catalina.

Then she solidified.

I wonder what's going on...

I was worried and spoke out for Catalina, who was completely solidified.

"... Um, Dear Catalina"

"Oh, Master Sophia. I'm sorry. I changed it, and welcome back. If you don't mind, let me tell you the rest."

That being said, Catalina urged me to a prepared table for tea and sweets.

I was so anxious at first, but when I actually talked to Catalina, that feeling disappeared.

This was the first time I had ever talked to someone about a book I loved, and it was like a dream time.

That's how the dreamy time passed quickly, and when I realized it, the sun tilted, and my servant called out to me, "It's time for you to spare me".

Catalina called out to me when she was prompted to stand up that way.

"You have really beautiful hair. May I touch you just a little bit?

"... Huh!?

My face frightened naturally.

I wonder what the hell Catalina is saying.

This creepy white hair can't be pretty...

If you notice, I've been asking Catalina the questions I've been thinking about since we met.

"Doesn't Master Catalina feel bad about this look of mine?

If you're outside, you've been turned to strange eyes and whispered creepy.

"... red eyes like blood on white hair like this old man... even though we all say he's a cursed child for being creepy..."

There's no such thing as beautiful for me.

I'm just being creepy...

"... cursed... what the hell?

Catalina shrugged in an obscure manner.

"It's a slander… that's how the jealous things of my father's accomplishments and my home spread their ill words."

My brother's voice sounded very cold.

This way, my sweet family always covers me...

"... but it doesn't change how creepy I look"

This heterogeneous appearance of mine always comes with a heartless bad mouth.

It has always been.

I wonder why I was born this way...

Even I wanted to be born as beautiful as Sophia in the story.

"But I think I'm beautiful..."

Catalina shrugged.

Beautiful? I wonder what you're talking about.

I stared at Catalina.

"I think Sophia's silky white hair and her red, sparkling eyes are very pretty,"

That's what Catalina said and smiled at me.

Silky white hair, red and sparkling eyes like ruby.

Is that really talking about me...

It was a very incredible word...

Catalina, those watery eyes didn't look like you were lying.

Someone who helped me at the Tea Party as if I were on the side of justice.

A girl like Princess Emerald in a story.

"So I'm glad you're back to see me. And if you don't mind, would you be my friend?

Catalina gives me her hand.

"I'm sure you'll find out about Sophia. You'll have a wonderful friend."

I never nodded at my family for saying that.

Because that's not how you're supposed to show up...

I thought you weren't there.

Everyone sees me like this with strange eyes.

Beautiful, I can't believe someone showed up telling me to be my friend.

I lay my trembling hands gently over Catalina's.

She wrapped her hand around it, and it smiled happily.

Is this a dream... I went with a smile that my brother rarely showed me in the carriage.

"Glad you made friends."

Friends...... I didn't think I could do that.

That's why I've spent the whole time in a cage in my room fantasizing about one person.

But I really always wanted a friend.

I've always wanted it.

Reminds me of a happy smile in the warmth of the hand Catalina held for me.

I've always wanted it, but I've been able to get what I've been giving up.

And then I started going to the Kraes family, and I became close to the twin princes, Catalina's brother, and Catalina's friends as well.

All this time, it was just my room. My world grew bigger all at once.

Mary, a friend of Catalina, told me.

"Until a while ago, I always hated myself… I didn't like these brown hair or my eyes"

I was very surprised.

I can't believe Mary didn't like herself, just as magnificent as Catalina and looking like a very fine courtier...

And I thought I couldn't believe I hated such beautiful hair and eyes...

"But because you told me a lot that Master Catalina loves me, that she likes me, and she's cute...... now I don't hate myself anymore. I like this hair and eyes. So I'm sure Master Sophia will be fine."

That's what Mary said and stared at me.

No one, including Mary, will spook me when they gather here in the mansion.

And when I was in Catalina, she always told me that my hair and eyes were beautiful, lovely.

This look so creeped out by everyone...... it really compliments me sincerely.

Will I be able to like myself like Mary one day too...

Will there be a day when this heterogeneous look can also be accepted...

I still don't know what's ahead.

But now I could have thought that day might come too.

"Thank you"

I thank Mary.

Then Mary smiled invincibly.

"But I won't give you Catalina."

I always thought it was best to be alone in the room reading a caged book...

But in a popped up world I could find more than that.
