Chapter 2: 2

I knew what they were plotting and I followed along with their plans in front of everyone.

“I’m going to wear the same clothes as my sister!”

I cried that I would not go to the party unless I wore the same clothes as my sister.

My dad and mom ran to me to try to stop me, but I couldn’t back down easily, the reason was because my life depended on it.

It wasn’t until I screamed loudly, that we could both enter the party wearing the same clothes.

My grand plan is to strengthen the position of the heroine, Clara. How can I be this smart?

Admiring my intelligent brain, last year’s birthday passed by safely, and the expected eighth birthday had come.

“I’ve prepared Lady Clara’s dress.”

Perhaps she expected me to make a mess, so Mrs. Lisbon prepared quite a few dresses for Clara.

I chose the most elegant yet colorful golden dress among them.

“This is going to look the best!”

It’s definitely going to be the most noticeable dress at the party today, contrasting with Clara’s black hair.

Of course, it’s not just because of that. That’s because today is the fateful day I’ve been waiting for for so long.

“Wouldn’t this be too fancy?”

“No, it’s really, really pretty.”

As today’s party is really important, this level of preparation is a must, not an option.

Why? Because today is the first day Clara meets the male lead.

If she’s wearing clothes like the male lead, who wears a golden uniform, she will definitely get attention.

And if the crowd drives up the mood perfectly, then it’s game over. My evil plan has just begun.

 

──・・✧・・──

 

The male protagonist of the novel and the mastermind behind the execution of Ciel was Alex, the son of the Emperor, and the future Crown Prince.

For your information, Alex is my favorite character among the many men in this novel.

It was because of this that I wanted to enter Clara’s body; not Ciel’s, who was executed.

Alex was the hero that you’d see in an ideal romance fantasy.

He is handsome, powerful, smart, and always cold, but friendly to his woman. He’s an invincible Sword Master that becomes completely obsessed once he thinks you’re the one.

Dark navy hair and eyes that are redder than rubies. The moment I first saw the cover, I thought my heart stopped beating. Man. I love being a homebody.

Alex was a gifted student who graduated early from the academy, and he was a super-elite, who even took a Caesarian class{1} to become the next Emperor.

Of course, the Emperor wanted to get his son the best bride, and it was – well, I don’t want to say it myself – but it was Ciel, so it was me.

“What do you want to do when you grow up?”

“Well, maybe to get married in a normal way and become a mother.”

What should I do with a child who has no greed and ambition? 

When I saw Clara dreaming of being a wise wife, I shed tears.

Unlike Clara, who dreams of a normal and happy marriage because she lost her family early on, Alex was actually not very interested in marriage.

So, at first, he naturally thought of marrying Ciel. The problem arises today when Ciel finds out that Clara is adopted.

“You’re not even our real family, you deceived me, you scammer!”

Angry, Ciel insults Clara in front of everyone. Other than that, she used a few more serious curses on a child.

No matter what it is, it isn’t easy to look at an eight-year-old cursing her sister for being adopted. Readers were angry and the comments section was raging.

Anyway, seeing it, the Crown Prince learns of Ciel’s immense duality and sympathizes with poor Clara.

The incident eventually served as a decisive opportunity for Alex to kill Ciel. Alex, who had been watching Clara ever since, claimed to be her guardian as if he were a mother bird.

He began to hate Ciel, who coveted the Crown Princess’s seat, and ended up killing her.

Well, the first step in protecting my stable and happy life as a golden spoon has come. After passing this step safely, I have to find a way to get my sister and the Crown Prince together. Otherwise, if I’m unlucky, I might actually end up on an express train straight to hell.

So what can I do? I have to get them together.

“You’ll look really, really pretty in this. So please wear this dress as my birthday present!”

Clara tilted her head in front of the colorful golden dress. She’s going to wear a more colorful dress than me, the main character. Mrs. Lisbon stepped up.

“But Lady Ciel.”

“Why? Do you have any complaints?”

“No.”

Mrs. Lisbon shut up when she saw my disapproving expression. It was obvious what she would say, too.

She would mumble, saying that today’s star is me, so Clara shouldn’t stand out.

When I asked her what she wanted, she could not say a word and stepped back.

“Can I really wear something like this?”

“Of course. I like you, so I want you to be the prettiest on my birthday!”

It’s important that she stands out now so that I can save my life. Without knowing my desperate heart, Clara hugged me with a nice smile.

“I like Ciel, too, my sister.”

Seeing her eyes wet somehow, I calmly hugged Clara.

Poor Clara lost her family at an early age. In fact, Clara, when she lived with her real family and before she was adopted by the Duke of Valentine, had a two-year-old sister.

However, on the day the whole family decided to go out together, Clara was left alone in the house because of a sudden fever.

Clara’s younger sister and her parents, who kissed her on the cheek and said before they left that they would come back soon and buy a present, died by the overturning of a wagon on a rainy road.

‘I can’t believe I have a sister. I’m so happy.’

Clara was genuinely happy the day Ciel was born. To be honest, if Ciel hadn’t been born, Clara could have monopolized the love of the Duchess of Valentine.

Perhaps she was jealous of her sister, who was born suddenly, but Clara truly cared for Ciel and loved her.

For Clara, Ciel was like a replacement for her younger sister, who had already died.

This child, who was born under the star of Hogu{2} but with the characteristics of a heroine, needs an evil guardian like me.

Don’t worry from now on. This sister will make you happy. 

So I handed Clara the prettiest dress and changed into a party dress.

I started preparing after I picked my sister’s dress. Maryl, a maid close to me, smiled as she brushed my golden hair, which had been flowing down nicely.

“My lady is so cute again today.”

“Maryl seems to like me too much.”

“Sure. Maryl is very happy to have you here.”

Maryl was so loyal that she took the lead in torturing Clara as she had been told, and died in prison a few days before I died.

I can’t let such a loyal maid die like in the original. I sighed at Maryl, who is only 18 years old.

“Maryl’s been too easy on me.”

“Of course. You’re my precious young lady.”

“Do it in moderation. It was said that if you are too nice to a child, they might get spoiled.”

“The lady is very funny.”

Even if I said something like this, no one will suspect that I’m actually an adult inside.

She just assumes I’m just imitating what the adults are saying.

Someone came into my room while Maryl was carefully wrapping a ribbon in my hair and braiding it.

“My lovely daughter! Are you ready?”

“Daddy!”

He was a huge handsome man with fluttering chocolate-colored hair. This incredibly wonderful man who is the father of five children is the Duke of Valentine, the father of Ciel.

The true Munchkin{3} of this novel. In addition, he’s a well-known right-hand man in the Imperial Capital and a great wizard with outstanding abilities at the highest level, even higher with the Duchess of Valentine, who has excellent magic power.

As I keep saying, there is no real balanced power in this novel.

The only thing the Duke could not have, even with money and power, is a daughter that he wanted so badly.

Even if they have three children, they were always sons and nephews.

It’s not a curse, but the family only has sons after sons.

He wished that he had a daughter who looked like his wife, and would have made no other wish if this were to come true.

A hundred years later, a girl was born to the Duchess of Valentine, and he became a real winner in his life.

“How can you be so beautiful? Even if I keep staring at my emerald{4}, my eyes won’t hurt.

“Daddy, please.”

No one can stop a father who is in a foolish mode. 

After being forcibly cuddled, I finally got out of my father’s arms.

I purposely approached the Duke of Valentine and pulled his sleeves because the other children should also receive love from him.

“Daddy, I want to see my sister. She looks so beautiful today.

“Is that so, my daughter? Do you want to go see your sister with your dad?”

“Yes!”

The order of the daughter of the Duke of Valentine is absolute. I’ve never seen anyone like this before. Literally an incredible daughter fool, the duke did everything I told him; he’d even dance and sing when I asked him to.

My mom has a little bit of regret, but my dad doesn’t have that. If his daughter likes it, then of course her dad likes it.

I’ve decided to take advantage of this. Since Ciel likes Clara, her father naturally takes care of her.

“Sister!”

When the Duke himself came along with me, all the maids, who had helped with the preparations, knelt.

“Clara, are you ready?”

“Yes, Father.”

How beautiful she is. Perhaps because I had my eyes on them, the maids decorated Clara as beautifully as they did me.
