Leanthea, who reincarnated as the villainess in an otome game.

She hasn't become the prince's fiancée yet. Though she wanted to avoid it, she couldn't escape marriage proposals due to her noble duties, so she continued to attend arranged marriage tea parties, just in case. In the otome game's scenario, it was supposed to be an engagement formed when she fell in love with the prince during one of those tea parties, strongly pleaded with her father, and the royal family consented.

Putting aside whether to choose a fiancé other than the prince, I should assess the other potential partners. It's all about compatibility, right?

My arranged marriage partner for today, as I thought this, was a languid duke's son.

"Teach me the joy of living."

I wanted to ask the boy who declared this so abruptly what had happened. This character didn't have a dark past, did he?

"Since I don't know you, I'll try listing the things I've found enjoyable in my daily life."

As I listed enjoyable things one after another, the seemingly exhausted duke's son's eyes sparkled.

My engagement with such a person was confirmed. He also changed. When he stands next to me, he wears a lively smile.

After entering the academy, the otome game's heroine stood in my way.

"You're a reincarnator too, aren't you! You ruined the game's scenario, you're the worst!! Because you're not the prince's fiancée, no flags are being raised!!"

That's none of my business. I ignored her, but she grabbed my arm.

"Don't ignore me!"

"Isn't it natural to want to pretend not to see a stranger yelling as if they've lost their mind?"

"What did you say!? I don't know if he's your favorite character or what, but why did that listless duke's son change so much!! I don't care, so break off your engagement and become the prince's fiancée!! Get things back on track!!"

There's no way I'm going to get things back on track now for something like that... She's crazy, how scary.

"Break off the engagement? Don't be ridiculous. Telling someone to become the prince's fiancée is also an act of lèse-majesté."

The one who gently picked me up was my fiancé, the duke's son, Isaac.
