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

~ Keith Kraes ~

I wish I hadn't given birth to you.

"You can take that troublemaker away. It's a nuisance."

"Stay away from me! A monster! '

Why, why, why does everybody hate me?

Why isn't anybody beside me?

I don't like one. I miss you. Please, someone, anybody, just stay by my side.

When I woke up, there was a ceiling that I had been completely used to seeing in the past few months.

Yes, this is the Duke of Kraes' house, and I was adopted here.

I exhaled.

Ever since I was born, I've been treated as a troublemaker, a hater.

But ever since I came to this Duke of Kraes house, I've had it taken care of very much.

A warm meal to eat with your family, a gentle hand that notices your body.

Until now, I got a lot of stuff I didn't get no matter how much I wanted it.

Still, sometimes, I dream old dreams like this. People who deny and despise me.

Even though it's every old thing... my chest hurts.

I'm supposed to attend a tea party today with my sister-in-law Catalina.

Even as I left the pain in my chest, I began to be modest.

"Keith, thank you for coming with me today"

To go to a tea party, that's what Catalina, always bright when in the carriage, said Nico.

Catalina's smile softened her chest bitterness a little.

"Because I'm still thin on my own, and I can hardly remember people's faces. It would really help if Keith were here."

That said, Catalina stared straight at me with her watery eyes.

"Keith. Thank you for coming to the Kraes house. I'm really happy to be Keith and my sister and brother."

I didn't think of that word and thought I'd cry.

Because of my dreams, I felt warm and happy spreading to my painful chest.

Catalina Kraes is a really strange girl. Best when you want, give me the words I want.

"... I, too, am so glad to have come to the Kraes and met my sister"

With that said, Catalina gave me another gentle grin.

I'm so glad I met this guy, I sincerely thought so.

~ Mary Hunt ~

It had been months since I had met Catalina and decided to become a fine young lady deserving to stand next to her, and I had begun my efforts. There was a lot to do, including academics, dancing, practicing manners, etc.

But originally, I wasn't particularly talented, I was slower tempered than people, and I couldn't do anything smoothly.

That's why, twice as many people, I had to try.

The academics questioned the tutors as long as time allowed, sometimes working until late at night.

The practice of manners was the same, repeated again and again until well done.

Especially bad dancing, that's what I practiced so much that my feet rubbed off with my shoes and my blood seeped out.

Seeing me desperate like that, the sisters laughed.

"I'm desperate even though I don't have the talent"

"I wonder if you're so desperate to be ashamed of yourself as a noble lady"

"You're a bad person because you're a low profile."

The words pierced my heart relentlessly and I learned chest pain.

Still, if I had time with Catalina, such pain would have faded a lot.

It was about that one day.

"... eh"

"What's going on? Mary, are you okay?

Suddenly, Catalina peeked worryingly at me as I stopped to crouch in.

It was when I came to visit Catalina's house and was walking in the garden trying to get to Catalina's fields with me from now on.

I felt a severe pain in my leg. If you look at the area where you felt the pain, your blood is seeping out loud.

"Oh my God!? Mary, you're hurt! I think he hit it somewhere!

I give it back to Catalina in a hurry, too.

"... that's okay. I'm sure yesterday, I've been practicing dance too long and it's just a little too much."

"Practice dancing?

"Yes, I don't like dancing, so I have to practice a lot more than people..."

Speaking so much, I got angry.

Does this make you think you can't dance one dance well if you don't practice desperately until your legs are rubbed off?

Wouldn't Catalina laugh at me... when I look up at Catalina anxiously?

There were no faces there that made fun of me like my sisters, sparkling eyes.

"Mary is really great at trying to overcome things that she doesn't like. I respect that. I have to apprentice, too."

No matter how hard I tried...... I was ridiculed with heartless words.

'Be desperate,' she laughed.

But I'm fine with what they already said.

'Cause you're staying here.

Because someone respects me for working hard.

'Let's go back to the mansion and make allowance for the wounds,' Katarina drew my hand, and I think strongly of that thought again and again.

He said it was really nice to meet Catalina Kraes.
