Chapter 1

Something feels strange.

It was a conclusion made after much consideration by Thisbe, who found out that this was a world inside a novel, and that she was a wicked woman who would die while committing various evil deeds due to her jealousy of the heroine.

The basis for the conclusion is none other than the newspaper in the hands of Thisbe.

Thisbe’s gaze headed to the newspaper in her hand. The daily newspaper, created by collecting gossip from aristocrats, contained the news of someone’s death in its headline.

<Marquis Manette, killed in a carriage accident…… Was it an accident or murder?>

This is already the seventh death for this week.

In other words, it also means there’s someone dying everyday, throughout the whole week.

“Was it Officer Chernyl yesterday?”

A tripping accident on Monday, a fall on Tuesday. A fine cruise ship sank on Wednesday, and a poisoning incident occurred at a tea party on Thursday. Subsequently, news of death was reported until Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

The victims were all different people, but they all had something in common.

The fact that they mocked Thisbe.

So, the fact that if it’s the way it is, you’ll die in the hands of Thisbe.

But rather so, it’s strange.

I didn’t do it this time.

Romance fantasy novel <Flower Tamed the Monster>.

A novel about a female protagonist who has the ability to communicate with monsters that cannot coexist with any other living things, commonly known as demons, saves the empire from danger and wins love.

Of course, as with any novel, there are obstacles and difficulties here and there. This is because the evil woman who deceived the empire, saying that she had the power of the heroine, lost everything due to the appearance of the heroine and holds a grudge against her. But like any other novel, the wicked woman dies. It’s all because of her taking the extreme method of trying to kill the heroine after all failed attempts to get back what she had lost.

The result is obvious, it’s the heroine’s victory.

The wicked woman is executed, and the heroine moves toward a happy ending. Like any other novel…

And the villain’s name is Thisbe Luisa Callista.

So, the conclusion is…

‘It means that I was reincarnated as the villain in the novel.’

Of course, Thisbe didn’t know from the beginning that the place where she was reincarnated was in the book. To be exact, she didn’t know from the beginning that she was reincarnated. She was hit by a car on her way home, and when she opened her eyes, lying in a cradle, not the hospital.

Fortunately, it was not at the level of a newborn baby, so she could see and hear properly, but there are a few people who can immediately realize, ‘Oh, I have been reincarnated’ with just that.

Even realizing that she was reincarnated like this, how can she know right away that it is in a novel?

How many books have you read in your life?

‘Nothing comes to mind just by the name of Thisbe.’

So, Thisbe was quite carefree even after she found out that she had been reincarnated as a child. After all, the only task given to a child lying in the cradle is eating well, sleeping well, and growing up. Moreover, considering that the room she was lying in was a child’s view, she thought that she was born in a house with quite a lot of money.

And that was the second reason she was able to relax.

However, in the near future, Thisbe realized that there was something strange.

“Is this Thisbe?””

“Yes, sir.”

“You look a lot like my mother. It would’ve been better if you looked like your father.”

‘They said that he did not like the Young Master at all when he was still alive.’

“That’s right. That’s also my son…. I keep thinking about him because I have a granddaughter left. Ugly thing.”

There are many maids who take care of Thisbe, and there was only one person believed to be their master and her family.

This gray-haired grandfather who seems to be quite old-fashioned.

Listening to the conversation, it seems that Thisbe’s parents passed away in an accident shortly after giving birth to Thisbe.

It was good to be born in a rich family, but she lost my parents.

It was certainly shocking, but the strangeness that Thisbe felt was not that part.

“But didn’t the young master and his wife leave the child of the oracle behind?”

Right, this part.

“Since she was born to save the empire and be the glory of everyone, the name of the Callist family will surely shine forever. I’m sure the young master and his wife will be happy.”

This grand title, child of the oracle, stimulated Thisbe’s side, as she lies on the cradle.

Until then, Thisbe thought, ‘Is it going to rain…’, but sooner or later she will find out.

What fate she is in right now.

***

‘It was definitely shocking when I first found out.’

Thisbe thought with her chin on her hand.

Thisbe learned of her situation not because of the name given to her or because of the grand title of the oracle child.

It was because of a sentence that was the start of <Flower Tamed the Monster> and <Monster Flower>.

[The girl born from Callista’s this year will save the empire from danger]

A sentence of prophecy that is seems to be from a fantasy novel. This prophecy, which also has the cliché setting of an oracle that has been passed down for the first time in nearly 100 years, naturally drove a girl out of everyone’s expectations.

Thisbe Luisa Callist, the only princess of the Duke of Callist.

From anyone’s point of view, prophecy seemed to refer to Thisbe, so Thisbe was collectively referred to as the savior of the empire, the child of oracle, or the saintess from birth and had to bear everyone’s expectations. It is described in only one sentence in the book, but when Thisbe experienced it herself, it was crazier than she imagined.

‘Drawing on a child is no different than abuse.’

The name, child of the oracle, is just a shackle.

The child of the oracle to save the empire, the Saintess of Callist, is not supposed to be ordinary, Thisbe had to be a genius.

She received all kinds of education to evaluate that anything is exceptional. As she took her first steps, she learned the sword, and when others started learning to speak, she learned two more languages, the official language of the continent and the noble language of a foreign country.

Even for Thisbe, who has memories of her previous life, she couldn’t help it. Even she was suffocated by the murderous intensity of the lessons.

-You have to be a great person in the future, Thisbe.

She was given with such a fate, because everyone has been talking about it.

So, it was too much to even say it was difficult for Thisbe, since she was born as the protagonist of the oracle and had no expectations from others. She had to be a better child than anyone else.

Grandfather, her only family and the Duke of Callist, were strict, and people treated Thisbe as an object of envy, so she does not have anyone to lean on.

The saint of Caliste, who is said to have been gifted with a kind heart and a genius talent, was created that way.

But, did you know?

The fact that the oracle’s interpretation, which has been taken for granted so far, is actually wrong.

There was another girl who inherited the blood of the Callist besides Thisbe.

Obviously, the oracle was not wrong. Obviously, the one who saves the empire from threats was born with the blood of the Callist.

Estelle, the real saint and the heroine, was the daughter of Callist’s distant branch family.

‘If I didn’t have memories of my previous life, I would probably gone crazy knowing that.’

They pushed her into the corner since she was young, saying that she had to save the world, so she had to be perfect, and then out of nowhere there shows up the real child of the oracle.

In the novel, when the real child of the oracle appeared, Thisbe was even sold as a liar and evil woman who deceived the empire.

‘She was abandoned by her family, and wherever she goes, she was mocked.’

Those who used to admire her as a saint took the lead in throwing stones at Thisbe.

Therefore, Thisbe could not help but hate the heroine, Estelle.

She took the position she had been working hard for all her life in an instant and destroyed her, just because she was a little favored by God. But, that’s the Thisbe in the book.

‘It’s not me.’

Fortunately, Thisbe knew this future.

When the contents of the oracle were pushed in front of me, who had just started walking, Thisbe thought with a quick realization.

The reason I die anyway is because of the fact that she’s a villain. Wouldn’t it be great if she lived a good life?

Isn’t there a saying that life depends on one’s own doing?

Fortunately or unfortunately, Thisbe Luisa Callist was born into a very wealthy family, and her appearance was above average. She’s living this life, so does she have to die coveting the title of the Saint for nothing?

‘The intensity of the training was higher than I anticipated that I almost gave up a few times…’

But If I do this, I will succeed.

That’s what I thought.

It wasn’t until one Sunday afternoon when she suddenly noticed that the extras who originally died at her own hands were dying one after another.
