Since When Were You The Villain?

ood, she felt a little bit energetic.

~*~

Killian went back to work in the military and police force.

Meanwhile, the servants were ready for Sophia in half a day.

A maid in charge was assigned, her items in Frauss mansion arrived, and doctor Leopeld came to treat and prescribe her medicine.

Garfield, the butler’s expression, looked very tired when he returned from the outing, but it seemed to have worked out anyway.

It had been raining.

Sophia, who looked up at the ceiling unconsciously at the sound of rain, realized that she was in the Archduke’s house and shook her head.

‘The rain won’t leak here…!’

Sophia’s habit made her worry about the spring rain without realizing it.

When she was living in the attic, she had to collect the rain from the ceiling from a bucket.

When it rained, a damp and musty smell filled the room, and mold was on the wall.

However, even when it rained, it was refreshing and pleasant here.

The sound of raindrops crashing against the window became a noise calming for the mind.

‘It’s better than home.’

At Frauss, she was always nervous.

Who was coming and going, whether there was a loud noise outside, how people were feeling…

Even though soul has changed, the tension that Sophia’s body has accumulated throughout her life stayed.

It was like her habit, and she did it subconsciously, so she didn’t even know she was doing it.

But when she came to Rivelon, her chest loosened and she was not surprised by the slightest sound.

‘Really, I want to keep this contract until the end of the engagement.’

Sophia laid on her bed and peered up at the ceiling.

Beyond the canopy was a ceiling covered in golden moldings.

A smirk leaked out.

“It’s nice to have a male protagonist…”

There may be temporary hardships, but there was a trustworthy person by her side.

Knowing that the main character of this world was her, her worries will soon be relieved.

She recalled a time when she was originally living as an extra in the world.
(tl/n: she’s recalling her past life)

Come to think of it, she had a pretty similar life to Sophia Frauss.

She was the object of the wrath of her family.

Her grandmother, who was strong in her preference for boys even at her age those days, hated her for being born as a girl.

She called her a bastard, saying that she was taking her brother’s share as well.

When her father drank alcohol, his hand went out first, and she, the weakest woman in the family, was her father’s handy punching bag.

Raised by watching her grandmother’s extreme favoritism and her father’s behavior, her brother became like her second father and made her a slave to him.

Beating, breaking, and stealing.
All those dirty works were being done on her.

Her mother had no power to protect her in such a family.

A life that was not much different from Sophia’s situation.

‘The only difference is that my past family wasn’t rich.’

Unlike the wealthy Frauss, her family only lamented the accumulating debt.

She desperately studied to get out of the family.

Being locked up late into the night in her reading room, provided free of charge by her school, was her happiness.

Thanks to that, her grades were excellent, and as soon as she turned 20, she ran away with a college acceptance letter.

The transportation costs in Seoul were stolen from her father’s liquor prices, and rose recklessly.

Fortunately, she had a talent for foreign languages, so it was easy to find a part-time job.

Dealing with foreign tourists, foreign-related events and filming interpretation, foreign language tutoring, small group study, etc.

Although her circumstances were not good enough, she was able to maintain a minimum life.

By doing that, she was able to be an exchange student for a semester.

The experience she had accumulated in that way naturally led to a job, and after that, she was quite successful, giving her more room to live.

Her family would then call her and ask: If you have money, pay off some family debt. 

Her brother wanted to start a franchise business and asked for a loan in her name.

The only pleasure in such a damn life was fiction novels.

‘Is coming to this world like a blessing god has arranged for me?’

Sophia shook her old memories away and focused on her present reality again.

She didn’t need to feel bad while thinking about her past life, which wasn’t good.

Contrary to the dark and dreary reality, the main character’s happy ending was set.

‘Unless the writer is a strange person who likes sad endings…’

There were some works that come to mind with a sad ending, but those works have a different atmosphere from this world.

Sad ending works tend to start out pitiful, pathetic, delicate, dark and exhausting.

But she wasn’t a character that suited that side.

‘Especially in book possessions.
There is no bad ending.’
