Someone's POV

I jolted up from the bed resulting in seeing the unfamiliar room I'm in. From the curtains and bedsheets down to some furnitures, everything screams of 'room in medieval era'.

Where the hell am I?

I was just on my way to the loo because I was tired from going to the funeral of a friend when suddenly, a bright light appeared from the toilet bowl. As curious as I was, I approached it resulting in me being sucked in.

Before I could even react, I was already devoured by it.

Mataku, I never knew I'd get isekai'd. I guess watching some animes, reading mangas and playing otome games finally paid off.

But where did I get isekai'd?

A raven-haired, brown-eyed girl in her teens wearing a black dress underneath a white frilly apron came in with a panicked expression. Sweat was noticeable all over her pretty face and she hurriedly went to my bedside.

"Ojousama, good morning! Minerva-sama ordered me to fix you up."

"Eh? Who's Minerva-sama? Who are you? Where am I?" I consecutively asked that probably horrified her.

*kyaaahhh

Her high-pitched scream echoed through the whole place that a middle-aged couple arrived.

The man has lime blond hair and orange eyes while the woman has orange hair and chocolate eyes. For me who lived in Kyoto, they were a beautiful couple similar in movies.

They were wearing western clothes, perhaps like in those animes focused in Victorian era.

"Hestia-chan, are you alright?" The woman asked.

"My dear daughter, tell your ottousama if there's anything wrong."

"Uhh... who are all of you?" I squeaked that they all shrieked. "Ano guys?"

"Call the doctors!!" The man raised his voice that the maid hurriedly left. "Now Hestia, what happened to you? Why can't you remember us? Was your drowning resulted to your memory loss? That can't be, right?"

"Hestia-chan, it's your okaasama. Please, you know in your heart that we're your family. Right?" I sweatdropped at their actions.

Why are they like this? The previous owner drowned?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait... Hestia, that name sounds awfully familiar..!

I ran towards the large mirror and touched my face. A little girl around ten with shiny orange hair and eyes looked back at me; she has a button-shaped nose, long curvy eyelashes, chubby cheeks and thin pink lips. She copied my actions that I stumbled on my buttocks.

Who the f*ck is that? That can't possibly me, I had pure black hair and eyes as I can recall.

But I reincarnated, then that means my appearance had changed.

Orange hair and eyes... Hestia... now I remember!! The main villainess from the otome game 'Hey Milord, Lemme Capture Your Heart!!'. Who knew that those clichés I kept seeing in animes and mangas could happen to me?!

Hestia Ceres Mantissa is from a ducal household and the fiancée of the Crown Prince Maxentius Eliécer Pristine Lixivius von Coelacanth. That's why when the Heroine, who was from unknown origins, captured the future Emperor's heart, she was outraged and proceeded to bullying her.

She did either of the following: splashing warm tea over the Heroine in social gatherings, hiding or damaging the Heroine's personal things, ordered low-ranking noble ladies to verbally assault her and slandering the Heroine every chance she gets.

Every route you choose, she always intercepts between the Heroine and a cature target, that's why she's so freaking annoying. But the sadistic Crown Prince's route was where she was the worst.

Oh my gosh, am I gonna die young again?! But based on what I read and watched, those who reincarnated as the Villainess always pave their way to avoid their doom and they succeeded. They even captured their own male lead.

In the good ends of every route, Hestia gets exiled or tortured depending on the personality of the capture target. In the bad ends, she gets immediately killed on the spot or gets executed and named a witch.

*shudders

I certainly don't want that to happen. Now that I'm Hestia, I'll make sure not to get in the capture targets' way of courting the Heroine so that I won't be the target of their sadistic rage.

"Hestia-chan, are you still there?"

"Yes okaasama, I am alright as you can see. Can the maids fix me up now? I heard I'm getting engaged." I calmly replied that they flinched.

Based on Hestia's previous attitude, they must've thought I would jump in joy just because I got engaged to my long-time crush.

Seriously, what did the previous Hestia see in that prince? He always wear a pseudo-smile but underneath that facąde lies a bloodthirsty psychopath who hides his savagery unless necessary. He even kills some corrupt officials and nobles in the shadows and not a single clue points to him. That's how scary he is.

"Are you certain about your well-being? We have a family doctor so don't be afraid to consult to him."

"As I said earlier ottousama, I am alright. Maybe the water that went inside me when I drowned messed up my brain by a little but I assure you, there's nothing wrong with me. Please do not worry ottousama, okaasama." They pulled me into their embrace that I heard their heartbeats.

*bathump bathump

Hestia was just so spoiled that I kinda envy her for her loving parents, while mine was so obsessed with making money even at the cost of my chastity. I'm glad I died before I reached the legal age, or I would've been married off to a business partner twice, or even thrice my age.

Her parents, or now mine, are so doting that my heart aches. They're just acting like this because they love their daughter Hestia, not me.

Hah, how depressing.

"Always remember that we love you Hestia-chan, no matter what."

"Yes, so don't fret about something too much."

"Thank you okaasama, ottousama." I smiled that reached to my eyes. "I love you two, too. I'm so glad that I have you as my parents."

Now that I've possessed Hestia, the Villainess, I will love her parents way more than the original could. I would also avoid all my doom flags even if it's difficult to.

"... ojousama just said 'I love you' to the Duke and Duchess, did she change..?" The maid from earlier asked in a whisper. "Maybe near death situations could change a person's mentality entirely..." She added that I chuckled to myself.

Could that really be true? I just took over Hestia's body, she didn't change at all. But I can't tell them that.

"Okaasama, is my fiancé still in the drawing room?"

"Yes dear, he's still waiting."

"Well, let's not keep him waiting!"

The maid donned me in a red and white lolita dress after half-bathing me. She styled my hair into a high ponytail and I headed straight to the Crown Prince's whereabouts.

"Glory to the star of Coelacanth, Crown Prince Maxentius Eliécer Pristine Lixivius von Coelacanth!! This lowly young lady of the Mantissa Ducal House greets His Imperial Highness." I pulled the hem of my skirt and slightly bowed.

I never knew the original Hestia's lessons of etiquette and mannerism could be completely engrained in this body.

"Hello Hestia-ojou, I believe you know why I'm here." He wore a business smile.

"Yes Your Imperial Highness, do you want to decline the engagement? Do you have someone in your mind?" His eyes widened at my blunt words.

"T-That's right Hestia-ojou, I already have someone I like and I'm sure you don't wanna be in a difficult situation because of it."

Wait what? I was just messing with him but he really wants to stop the engagement from happening, isn't he?

Who does he like? The Heroine arrives two years after we enter the academy when we turn fourteen and he is the Student Council President. I would then abuse the position of the Crown Prince's Fiancée and bully her out of spite.

"M-May I know who she is?" I managed to maintain my composure.

"The only princess of Daemonorops." My jaw dropped at his words.

There wasn't a draconic princess mentioned in the game!!
