Description
"Selma! I'm breaking off our engagement with you!"
In the middle of the aristocratic academy's graduation party, Selma was told this by her fiancé. He was apparently going to form a new engagement with another young lady, claiming her to be his true love…
That young lady, his new fiancée, had been calmly telling lies to incriminate Selma. She loudly proclaimed things like, "I've been bullied by Lady Selma this whole time!"
……As she listened to their words, Selma became utterly exhausted. She was utterly exhausted by her own life itself, which was no longer going well…
Despairing, Selma thought, "I just want to disappear…" and decided to accept the baseless accusations of bullying.
――However, a thought suddenly occurred to her. 'No, instead of just accepting it, I'll exaggerate it to the extreme and make it a truly heinous crime!'
"If you two are going to lie, then I'll tell a colossal lie myself…!"
Fabricating a colossal lie as her crime, she aimed for the most extreme of all punishments—the magical penalty of 'Annihilation,' which erases even the soul. 'Why not take on this punishment!' she thought.
Selma, transformed into a desperate woman who yearned for condemnation and ruin, began recounting false crimes to play the part of a cruel villainess.
――However, the content of her lies was so gruesome that it began to make her accusers suspicious instead… and the situation started to unfold in an unexpected direction.
