“Is that my wife?”... more>>

Leticia, once considered the perfect bride, had her family ruined by the schemes of the crown prince. As a result, she was forced into marriage with Callius Maxis, the emperor's hunting dog and a symbol of disgrace.

Fortunately, contrary to the rumors of him being rude and violent, Callius was a smart man who clearly understood what he wanted and what needed to be done. Leticia decided to add her own revenge to his ambitions. So, she proposed to him:

“I can help you.”

Who would ever imagine that Callius Maxis, known as a demon, could fall so deeply for a single woman? When Leticia discovered that her husband had a lover, she decided to use that as leverage for her own proposal.

“You cannot help me.”

“When I say I can help, I mean it—”

“She’s dead.”

Unless Leticia could bring the dead back to life, it seemed there was no way for her to assist him. Callius declared that he would kill the crown prince for the sake of the woman who had already passed away. If that were the case, all Leticia had to do was wait patiently for her revenge to be completed.

But Leticia couldn’t stop herself from becoming curious about the woman he had loved so deeply, the one for whom he was willing to give up everything.

‘Who on earth is that woman?’ <<less

One day, I realized that I had been reincarnated as a minor villain in a novel. I was destined to be used to achieve the heroine Giselle’s happy ending and then die. To escape this fate, I prepared to leave everything behind and run away.... more>>

“Tell me, why are you afraid of me?”

In the original story, the Crown Prince, who used to look at me as if I were an insect, suddenly started showing interest in me.

“…I couldn’t stop thinking about you while in my estate.”

My childhood friend, who had rejected my confession, kept lingering around.

“I won’t stand by and watch you put yourself in danger.”

Even at the guild, where I went to arrange my escape, people started paying me excessive attention.

“Only wizards can set foot in this place.”

“What are you talking about…?”

Before leaving everything behind, I wanted to confirm that I had a life of my own, unrelated to the original story. So, I visited the guild to find a childhood friend I had lost touch with. Unexpectedly, I discovered a power that was never even mentioned in the original story.

All I wanted was to leave this place and live a peaceful life with my maid…

“I want you to heal my wounds from now on.”

“B-But I’m supposed to be going for recuperation.”

“Ah, right… In that case, you may stay in Erdona.”

Once the Crown Prince found out that I was a wizard, he asked me to stay by his side to heal him.

I could almost hear the sound of my perfect escape plan shattering to pieces. <<less
