The Villainess Wants to Indulge in 'Moe' to Her Heart's Content! - Episode 1.11

“Prince Licht!”

A cheerful voice rang out as a female student in a dark brown uniform hurried toward Licht.

A stunned murmur rippled through the crowd.

(She’s here…!)

Tension shot through Letizia’s body.

Marina Grayford—the heroine.

“Prince Licht, thank you so much for yesterday!”

Marina stepped in front of him, cutting off his path with a bright smile.

Her cheeks were flushed with excitement, her soft pink lips forming an eager curve. Against the backdrop of the blue sky, her pastel pink ribbon fluttered in the wind, a perfect picture of springtime charm.

It was exactly as it had been in the game.

And yet—

“Did… she just call out to His Highness?”

“A commoner speaking so informally…!”

“What nerve…! Unbelievable!”

“Completely lacking in etiquette!”

Scandalized whispers erupted all around them.

Letizia, too, was left speechless by the sheer audacity of the act.

(I never realized this when I played the game… but—)

Now, as someone who had lived as Letizia, she fully understood just how outrageous Marina’s actions were.

This wasn’t just a simple lack of etiquette.

This wasn’t even something people could dismiss with a condescending, “Ugh, typical commoners.”

Even the other commoners in the crowd looked deeply unsettled by her behavior.

That alone was surprising.

(In my past life, as someone from twenty-first-century Japan, I thought this scene was just a sweet, endearing moment…)

But to those who actually lived in this world—

It was an act so reckless, so absurd, that it bordered on insanity.

For the first time, Letizia fully grasped the vast divide between her past and present worlds.

What she had once considered “normal” held no meaning here.

And by extension—

The “common sense” of a game player was utterly detached from the reality experienced by the people who inhabited this world.

“Prince Licht! If you don’t mind, could you show me around the academy?”

Marina beamed at him, her irresistibly charming voice carrying easily through the crowd.

Letizia recognized the line instantly.

(She’s following the script perfectly… but…)

She clenched her jaw.

Even though Marina’s words were lifted straight from the game’s scenario—

Here, in this world, they were completely unacceptable.
