Sarah's Pov - (Point of View)
The events of the Novel take place in the Kennedy Empire.
The Novel says that the Kennedy Empire is one of the most powerful Empires since they had a lot of magic support as well as their powerful knight forces...
The male lead Fredrick Nicholson Lloyd Kennedy is engaged to the villainess Rubia Mary Albert Charleston (A political marriage or an arranged marriage) at the age of 19.
The novel does not mention much about the crown prince's childhood except for the fact that his mother was a noble who used her pregnancy as a reason to get closer to the position of Empress.
Apparently, the woman died when the crown prince was 4.
The emperor loved his child, he just didn't show it much (the guy was probably a tsundere) and he wished for the prince to find his true love which is probably why he accepted the relationship between Fredrick and Catherine (the female lead).
Fredrick doesn't care much about the villainess Rubia but, Rubia is shown to love him since he was one of the few people that understood her truly...
Fredrick and Catherine meet coincidentally when he saves her from a group of thugs and he instantly fell in love with her (so cliched). From then on Fredrick constantly went to check up on Catherine and eventually bought her the title of Countess.
Rubia who heard of these events from the maid’s gossip was irritated and filled with jealousy.
So well, I guess it's obvious...
Rubia attempts to poisoned Catherine.
Fredrick finds about it and charges Rubia of attempted murder.
Louis (Rubia's brother) begged for his sister to not have a heavy punishment.
Frederick accepted his request for childhood’s sake...
Rubia is then imprisoned for Two years and when she is released, she once again wished for the death of Catherine.
So, she charges at Catherine with a knife but she's saved by the royal knights.
When Fredrick hears of these events, he gives Rubia a death sentence...
And after that comes Catherine and Frederick's engagement...
The only ones that truly cares about Rubia in the end were her parents and her brother.
Ps... The author of the novel 'True love' also mentions that Louis had unrequited feelings for Catherine. But he couldn't choose her over his sister...
See the story was truly shitty wasn't it...?!!
I don't really want to face all this stuff in the future so I'm going to work hard and live my second Life
The first step to me having my peaceful life is to lay the foundation by building a deeper connection with my family and the maids and servants of the Duchy since it might work to my benefit it the near future
In my previous life I did not have a father I did have a mother but I barely ever saw her or conversed with her since she was working hard to pay off the debts so I never really felt parental love but, in this life, I wish for that to change even if it is just a bit.
Rubia never really cared about her family since she was obsessed over the crown prince but I don't believe she hated her parents or brother she might have just built a wall around her while they were there and the only one who was able to cross this wall was probably the prince (I don't really understand why though.)

Previously -"Does anyone have anything they would like to say before I end this gathering...?" asked Aelius*Damien raises his hand. *"Is there something you'd like to say, Grand Duke Valentino...?" asked the emperor"Yes." said Damien in seriousnessCurrently -"I would like to use this gathering to my advantage and inform you all of my future plans. I am aware that almost everyone in this room despises the Southern Empire's Emperor for his foolishness and greed." said Damien"...?" The nobles stared with confusion at Damien having no idea what the consequences were of the words he uttered"I will be starting an internal revolt against the emperor." said Damien as he smirked"What is the meaning of this, Grand Duke?" asked the emperor"I am sure you all have your doubts about me, but you have to trust me when I say this... I despise the Bastard sitting on the thro
"A wedding invitation from the Kennedy Empire?" "Yes." "It's finally here. With this we begin the plan, Marcus." "Yes, your excellency, the Grand Duke Valentino." Meanwhile at the palace. * "So, what you mean to say is that... there actually is a person called Damien from the Valentino Grand Duchy?" asked Sarah "Yes. He is a relative of mine from my mother's side of the family. He has been a friend of mine ever since I was young." "I see." "Why do you have a sudden interest in him, Sarah...?" "Fredrick... I promise you this, I will tell you everything once the Ceremony is over. Hiding things from you, the man whom I've fallen in love with is... Hard. I know it may seem unfair but, please give me some time." "Alright, Sarah. I trust you with my life." said Fredrick after which he kisses Sarah "Get some rest, Sarah. I know how rough things have been with yo
Previously -"Were there any other marriage candidates excluding me...?" asked Sarah"Hmm... There was the princess of the Southern Empire but, since her constitution is weak it is obvious that she cannot marry me. The other one was the daughter of Marquese Dinax." answered Fredrick"Dinax... I've heard about them.""They are a family known for their knights and their loyalty to the Empire."Currently -Six ladies from Noble families will come for the interview. I am free to choose at least three or four out of the six but, I doubt there'd be a majority of the ladies who are interested in the job.They may have hidden intentions like spying on me or seducing Fredrick.But they would have to be stupid if they thought of me as a foolish naive Lady. I will make sure I educate those who may intend to harm me in the future on how I am no 'Foolish Lady'..."Let the first group of Ladies in.,&r
Previously - Fredrick, I do not think I have ever be able to understand you but, I sincerely wish for you to live a good life. You deserve that. Since, I read not only the original story but also the Altered version of the story where Fredrick is not the male lead but, the villain and Rubia is never brought up. It is kind of Ironic to know that Me and Fredrick do not have the relationship of Villainess and Male Lead but, Villain and Villainess. Currently - Sarah's Pov - I liked the novel 'True Love' for a lot of reasons but, I also found it sad because the author never displayed the emotions felt by other characters excluding the Male lead and the Female lead. The feelings felt by Rubia when she was waiting for her death while the man, she loves gets married to the woman she hated. Those feelings were ignored and cast aside. The author of the Novel 'True Love' had made
Previously - "Since, your body was sensitive to magic after the poisoning incident so, I was asked to limit my usage when next to you by Sid. Your body's condition is getting better now." said Fredrick "I see... So, you’re saying that I can see Aura's when my body's cured...?" asked Sarah "Yes." "The only ones who have Aura's are the highest of nobility." Currently - An aura. It was a term that was never used in the novel 'True Love'. Fredrick has nothing to gain from lying to me and I trust him since I know my feelings for him. But, how could the author not mention anything about it in the book...? Have the events of the book altered because of me? Now that I think about it... My brother and Lady Margaret have recently started going out with the family's approval. This was not the case in the novel. Louis was someone who had absolutely no interest in anyone other than Catherine.
Previously - "My name... Its Sarah." said Rubia as she looked at Fredrick with her hands clenched "...!" "Sarah James." "It is a pleasure to meet you, Sarah...!" said Fredrick as he smiled Currently - *The couple arrive back at the palace after their date. They have their meal and take some time to talk about the Empire. * "Is it safe to say that the nobles have decided to heed the emperor’s warning to them...?" asked Sarah "I am sure you know that the noble's and aristocrats hate making choices or decisions that bring them a great loss. The nobles who plotted along with the Southern Kingdom were just trashy Counts or Barons who were about to become fallen nobles." "Of course, I am aware of that." "The one thing every noble fear is making a rash decision which may lead to the Family's downfall in the near future. They who have been labelled with th
