Thinking she might have changed the original story, she feels overjoyed and begins living a happy life.

But one day, she catches Heizen cheating on her. That’s when she realizes this world isn’t the novel at all, but actually a terrible game based on it. In this version, she’s nothing more than one of the love interests meant to be tossed aside by Heizen.

Fueled by anger and a desire for revenge, Ruivel meets Ancelot, the prince of a neighboring kingdom who is infamous as a bloodthirsty killer.

"You want revenge on him, don’t you? Then use me, Princess."
