My Next Life As A Wicked Dame (ENGLISH)

Prologue. "Lady Marina?" a soft voice echoed from a distant room. Hmmm... A soft feminine voice echoed in my ears, it was truly lovely and soft like clouds. The voice was like a lullaby because instead of waking me up, it makes my eyelids heavier than ever. What is it? The sun hasn't risen yet, right? And besides, it's the weekend, isn't it? I don't have classes today! for Pete's sake! So please, let me sleep a little longer. I didn't realize that it was already dawn when I finished the novel I read last night. All I need is one thing; it is called peace. Instead of opening my heavy eyelids, I just ignore the voice and buried my face into the soft pillows as it was because it was too early. "Lady Marina!?" someone from the other side of the room called out again. What the heck!? It's too early and someone is bothering me again. Don't they know the saying, "Wake up the drunk, but not the one who's sleeping, or else you would taste eternal rest?" Cringed. I know that, but hey! W

Chapter Two. Nina's POV. Time is short when you are happy, time is long when you are sad, and time is too slow for those who wait. But in my case, time is swift when you're in the zone. Two weeks had passed since I woke up as Lady Marina. Now, I am in the library, trying to research all information about this world, the world that I would probably live in for a while. According to Rita, my maidservant (which I'm correct). This is Lady Marina's private library; the whole Red Rose Manor has four libraries. One for me, one for my mother, one for my father, and lastly, the Edwards' Central Library. With that two weeks' time. I've learned many things. Lady Marina is an only daughter and she's seventeen. I am currently living at the Red Rose Manor, which is the Edwards family estate in the nobles' district in the royal capital. The Edwards' real territory is in the eastern region of the Avalor Kingdom, and Lady Marina is currently studying at Avalon Academy of Magic. Avalon Academy

Nina's POV Silence That's what filled the room after I said that. I can't help but feel nervous because a single mistake might lead to my doom. But I need to take the risk, and it's pretty obvious that this is an arranged marriage. If this continues, I would probably be the one who would look evil, preventing the heroine and the hero from getting close. "Hmm..." Lord Ethan leans against the chair, seated comfortably, and crossed his legs with arms resting at the side With his form, it is obvious that he came from the high society. The way he sits looks like his a king. The way he looks at you feels like you are not important, just a speck of dust in his sight. His cold and empty eyes can make you suffocate and freeze to death. "Why would you call off the engagement, Lady Marina?" Lord Ethan asked, half amused. He looks lazily playful in his sitting position, the other corner of his lips curled into a playful smile. I almost can't control my eyebrows from twitching. His behavior

Nina's POV. One word to describe the Women's Wear? It would be superb. Very beautiful. It feels like I'm living in a fairytale dream. Dresses were arranged in an orderly manner based on their style, color, and material. The whole boutique looks so fancy and clean, I'm embarrassed. I looked left and right to see more, it turns out that not only dresses are their but also accessories, such as feather hats, gloves, shoes, and parasols. It's like I'm appreciating the clothes of those days more now. It's really beautiful and very elegant to look at. The designs and decorations are very detailed. They are placed symmetrically. It can't be easily seen somewhere else. We continued walking until we got to a private room. Amy quietly follows me. I don't know, it's just my feeling but Amy doesn't feel human, maybe it's just my impression. How did I come up with that conclusion? It's because of her expression. There wasn't even a trace of emotion on her face, not even a cold expression. Just

Nina's POVOh no...Where am I?I looked around to see any familiar place or direction. I was so stupid! How the heck would I know the direction if I don't know where I am?! I didn't know the plaza's blueprint.Why did I run without asking the direction of Disfraz Boutique? I sometimes hate myself because of my stupidity but I'm not that dumb you know! I still remember the boutique's name.Yeah, even though I'm a bit stupid, I still have brains. But knowing the name would be a total help.Stupid Nina! How dare you memorize everyone's name from every Korean group you stan but can't memorize a simple direction!I suddenly felt pity for myself while lampooning. And I'm a little bit guilty whenever I get pissed at those female leads getting lost, sometimes I insulted them on why some protagonist of a story is stupid and clumsy.But know I finally understand them, how ironic not as a female lead but as a villainess.I'm very sorry. I sincerely apologize for my insult now that I tasted my v
