Villainess’ True Identity is Lonely Tsundere

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

One of the main heroines of ‘Engage Hazard’, Lizette Josephine de Capetien, was a villainess.  She constantly bullied her younger sister, the Second Princess ‘Elene Vanessa de Capetien’, at every opportunity, treated the palace servants harshly, and always behaved arrogantly. However, this was her desperate resistance, as she had spent her life feeling lonely, having all of her mother’s love monopolized by her brother Jean and her sister Elene. By acting as a villainess, she hoped that her family might scold her… that they might look at her.

The only person who genuinely scolded her, guided her, and saw her for who she was, was the protagonist of ‘Engage Hazard’, Wilfred. It was because of this, Lizette gradually opened her heart to him, and by solving a false accusation case that took place in the Capetien palace, she eventually entered into a “romantic relationship” with him. Incidentally, like the Saintess Christia, she had already transferred to the Royal Academy of the Dehaubalz Kingdom by the start of the main story of ‘Engage Hazard’, and had been available as a capture target from the beginning.

“This is quite a surprise… I never imagined that both Your Highness Jean and Your Highness Lizette would welcome us. I am Harold, from the Dehaubalz Kingdom.” (Harold)

“I am Alexandra.” (Alexandra)

I hurriedly got off the carriage, offered my hand to help Xandra down, and the two of us bowed respectfully together.

“Oh no, the honor is mine, Your Highness Harold. I’m grateful for your courteous greeting. But… how did you recognize Lizette and me so easily?” (Jean)

“Ah!? O-of course. You both had a completely different presence from the others…” (Harold)

Yes, that’s a lie. I only knew about them because I’ve seen them so many times in ‘Enhaz’. Honestly, it’s a bit frustrating that my favorite fiancée only got one still image, while the heroine Lizette, and even Jean, got more. (That’s just an exaggeration.)

“Hahaha, I’m glad to hear such a compliment. Now, you must be tired from your long journey. I’d like to guide you to rest right away, but our king is eager to meet Your Highness…” (Jean)

“Thank you. As the goodwill ambassador, I also wish to greet His Majesty the King.” (Harold)

So, with Jean leading the way, our delegation walked through the palace, but…

“….” (Alexandra)

“….” (Lizette)

Yes. While Jean and I walked ahead, chatting, Alexandra and Lizette followed in complete silence. Moreover, Lizette had a blatantly sour expression. Perhaps because of that, Alexandra looked expressionless, as if wearing a mask.

It’s scary.

“By the way… is the lady accompanying Your Highness, your wife?” (Jean)

“No. She is my fiancée.” (Harold)

“Ah, I see. You have a wonderful fiancée. I’m envious.” (Jean)

Right? My favorite fiancée is cuter than any of the heroines in ‘Enhaz’.

“Thank you very much. I am honored by your compliment.” (Alexandra)

“I was merely speaking the truth.” (Jean)

With a composed expression, Xandra expressed her thanks, to which Jean responded with a light smile. But Xandra didn’t seem to mind it, as her expression softened just a little.

However…

“Is that so? For a lady, isn’t she somewhat… lacking?” (Lizette)

Lizette immediately acted like the villainess and made a petty remark. And honestly, aside from the size of her chest, Lizette wasn’t much taller either.

“Lizette.” (Jean)

“…Hmph.” (Lizette)

With a sharp tone that left no room for argument, Jean admonished Lizette, causing her to pout and turn her face away with a huff. But knowing Lizette’s true nature from my memories of my past life, even this kind of attitude feels like a reward.

“Your Highness Lizette is also very beautiful. When I visited the capital of Saint Jeune, I thought there were many beautiful women in Capetien, but among them, Your Highness Lizette stands out, incomparable to the rest.” (Harold)

“!? I-is that so?” (Lizette)

You see. This heroine isn’t used to being complimented. Well, if she didn’t act like a villainess, she’d probably be more appreciated by those around her, but even if she did that, her family, whom she cares about most, still wouldn’t notice. And that’s what matters to her. Well, anyhow…

“As far as I know, Your Highness Lizette is the same age as my fiancée, Xandra, and me. I’d be delighted if I could become friends with her. There’s a lot I still have to learn, and I’d be grateful if you could teach me many things.” (Harold)

“W-well, if you insist that much, I suppose… it wouldn’t hurt to be friendly with you!” (Lizette)

Lizette tried to act high and mighty, her face flushed red, but she couldn’t hide how happy she was. She’s really easy to please. Not that I mind.

“Oh… I thought she was useless, but if she can build a relationship with Your Highness Harold, she might have some value after all.” (Jean)

Thankfully, Lizette didn’t seem to hear that, but at the very least, he should whisper it so I couldn’t hear it either. Watching Jean just irritates me… and—

Xandra lightly tugged on the hem of my clothes and shook her head from side to side.

Yes, I get it. As a goodwill ambassador, I can’t afford to let this anger get the better of me.

“Thank you.” (Harold)

“…No.” (Alexandra)

Whispering my gratitude into Xandra’s ear, I saw her smile slightly as we composed ourselves and headed to the audience chamber where the king awaited.
