Chapter 107 – Rosanne's Transformation
Rosanne's venomous eyes were not pointing at Bella.
“an guy.”
“….”
“He deliberately chooses only hurtful words.”
“Is that so?”
“Selfish and cruel.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Apart from his selfishness, he’s not good at making friends. “
She said as if pouring out all the sad things she had been feeling.
“Only looking at efficiency and practicality.”
Poison was poison, but it seed to be a poison that hard oneself. It must have been a lot, but as she said that, Rosanne started to shed more and more tears.
“Put in his face and ignore it. If he doesn’t like , I'd rather he say it rather than just letting out a sigh.”
“….”
“I heard that he lived in confinent, and his personality is strange!”
Kiehl didn't live locked up.
Rosanne's tears were dripping down her cheeks.
“I heard that you were educated and raised in the imperial palace, so why did you beco that an kind of person?”
Bella got stung a little though she tried to look away.
Their ho environnt was kind of like that.
Zanbar, who always spoke in a daunting way… Jenkins, who was ticulous and suffocated… Iwer, who made dirty jokes whenever she had a chance… and Pur, who was thoughtless and stupid. Of course, it was she who threatened to kill them for controlling them, but Bella didn't particularly rember it was her fault.
“You’re a really bad person…”
Usually, when soone insulted Kiehl, she would get angry… but she only felt pity for Rosanne.
It was because of her greed, she robbed Rosanne of her destiny. At the sa ti, Bella rembered what she had said to the ladies who had been asking for advice all the ti, talking about this and that.
“There are many good people in the world.”
Back then, she just looked and pretended to say that.
“Don’t get too attached to just one person.”
…To Rosanne, she said that with all her heart.
From the mont she first t Kiehl until now, it was difficult for Rosanne to erase the idea that he was like her ‘destiny' all along. In her head, she knew that love would not work and wanted to give up, but the remnants of her uncertain emotions remained in her heart, causing agony.
Even when Bella called Kiehl and her destiny.
Rather than feeling good, she felt uncomfortable.
She thought she should accept that it was Rosanne's destiny to love soone who would never stand by her side for the rest of her life. However, she heard Bella say, ‘There are a lot of good people in the world.'
“Thank you, Miss Bella…”
Rosanne was so comforted by those words that she shed tears. On the other hand, at her tears, Bella could not hide her surprise.
‘Ah… crying here makes look like a bit of a bad person.'
When she didn't know what to do, Rosanne hurriedly wiped her tears as if she had noticed Bella’s thoughts.
“Well, Lady Bella.”
“…Yes?”
“Since the cactus Bella-sama gave has blossod, I think my wish will co true.”
Bella asked, a little puzzled.
“…What did you wish for?”
Wasn't it her wish that things will go well with Kiehl?
At the question, Rosanne stopped sniffing and smiled brightly.
As she finally got rid of her jealousy, Bella was able to discover Rosanne’s true face. Her smile with the tears was bright and beautiful enough to justify why she was the female lead of this novel. She was a person whose white wings radiated from her whole body as if they were hidden.
“I wished for you to be happy.”
For a mont, Bella had the feeling that everything around her suddenly beca quiet, and she was the only one standing.

After the tea party, the Imperial Palace was lively for the first ti in a while.
Of course, there was a prediction that Bella would beco the Crown Princess, but of course, it was different from announcing it.
The Empire had a lot of work for its size.
Shortly after Kiehl entered the imperial palace, the Empress died, and the Empress’ duties were split between the Emperor and Crown Prince Kiehl. While he traveled to find the holy relic, Emperor Lariette took care of it all alone.
Opinion was divided that he should choose a new empress though there was no family to offer their daughter.
They didn't want to be sent as the wife of an old emperor.
The Emperor was increasingly collapsing from overwork, and his work eventually had to be taken over by Kiehl. The Empire looked like it would perish from death from overwork. However, now that the Crown Princess was smart and won the hearts of the people, everyone was optimistic about the future.
In such an atmosphere, Rohan, the crown prince's aide, was helping Emperor Lariette with his work.
“…Cough.”
Rohan raised his head at the sound of Lariette coughing. Even though he had put a shield around him during the magical explosion, he had already suffered internal injuries.
“Are you all right, Your Majesty?”
“So, has it been decided that the Crown Princess would be the Lady of the Cruelle family?”
“…Yes. If I had known in advance, I would have used my hand, but I did not know that he would hold a friendly tea party with the Fire Kingdom and say those words.”
Lariette coughed a few tis and flipped through the papers one by one.
“It was the order of the day anyway. Lady Marianne rken couldn't even stand up to her.”
“That—”
“So, when is the ceremony going to be held?”
Rohan sighed and shook his head.
“I intend to do it as late as possible. That person should never rise to the position of Empress.”
Although Lariette looked at the docunts, only his gaze turned to Rohan.
“Is there any reason not to let her?”
“She is a cruel man. She may bring ruin to the Empire.”
It was hard to refute that statent.
Advertisents — “What kind of reign of terror is taking the neck? You have to divide it into 16 equal parts to beco a reign of terror.”
Everyone who heard her answer during the second contest would have expected her to be a pretty scary person. But on the contrary, the Empress the people wanted was not simply a benevolent person.
A powerful person, even if they were scary.
A person who could fill the void for the Crown Prince who has no magical powers.
…That was also what Lariette wanted.
“It’s just a good sword to stand on his feet.”
“….”
“I guess it depends on how the crown prince uses it.”
Lariette finished his sentence and started to cough again.
“Your Majesty.”
“I want to hold the ceremony as soon as possible and relinquish the throne.”
Rohan had a hunch that his true power was just at the end of the corner.

As Bella sipped cold tea in her room, she rembered the first day she brought Kiehl with her.
When she tried to use an eight-year-old kid who looked like a five-year-old as an attendant, she found out he was the male lead. She stayed up all night reading novels and rummaging through custor service.
⎡ Q. What is the criterion for completing the original story? ⎦
⎡ A. The ending that readers rember. For example, in the case of a happy ending, it refers to the happy ending of the main characters. ⎦
It was a romance novel… a novel in which Rosanne was the female lead.
‘Yes… the male lead could change in the middle, right?'
Even if the male lead didn’t change.
Wouldn’t it be enough if the two of them didn’t have to be connected but going on a happy path together? Her phone was off, so she couldn’t check, but Bella seed to have found the smallest spark of hope.
‘Yes. I have the responsibility to help Rosanne be happy.'
Even though it didn't turn out the way she thought, she had no choice but to believe in the slightest possibility. Since Rosanne said she would continue to be her lady-in-waiting, there was still plenty of ti left.
‘…Anyway, will Juan Cruelle like Rosanne now?’
The only n around Rosanne would be Juan and Kiehl.
‘Ah… I don't like Juan.'
Shuria would beco the head of the Cruelle family. She didn't think it would be a very happy conclusion if she entrusted Rosanne to Juan.
* * *
Rosanne felt relieved.
She'd cry all day, and she'd cursed at Kiehl. On the other hand, unlike Rosanne, who was in a good mood, Myu let out a sigh.
“If I were Miss, I would never be the lady-in-waiting.”
“Why?”
“I’m afraid of sothing about her.”
In fact, she also agreed with Myu's words. It was as if Bella hated her from the first ti she t her. Still, she also gave her a cactus as a gift and silently patted her on the back while she cried.
“No. She was sweet.”
“Miss is too naive. I thought that when she dragged Miss away, she was going to torture you!”
Rosanne wiggled her fingers.
It wasn't what Bella wanted, but it was torture to Rosanne.
“I honestly think that she obviously knows that Miss likes His Highness and that she is deliberately ssing with you.”
“Myu, since this is the Imperial Palace, you have to be careful what you say.”
Rosanne comforted Myu, glancing around in case soone heard her, and Juan, who had been listening silently, asked again without hiding his uncomfortable expression.
“So, did Lady Bellatrice really beco the Crown Princess?”
“…Yes.”
Myu said, clenching her fists and pounding her chest.
“Look. The person who offered Miss to His Highness beca the Crown Princess the next day.”
The Miss she was serving was so kind that it seed like her stomach was burning.
“I can’t live up to my order at tis like this, Miss. It’s obvious to anyone who sees it.”
“Myu, Lady Bella really isn’t like that.”
“What's not like that?! She looks like a very nasty fox.”
“Because she is not. If Lady Bella becos the Crown Princess…”
Rosanne paused and lowered her face.
“She said she would support .”
At that, Myu shut her mouth.
Even though County Psilia was on the periphery, she could marry soone she liked among a similar county. With Duchies and Marquisates, most of marriages were arranged for the benefit of the family rather than personal will.
Myu would beco quiet, and as silence ca, it was now Juan who spoke to Rosanne.
“Can you elaborate on what you are talking about?”
“That is… Lady Bella just thought of her position as the Crown Princess as an official position.”
Juan quietly raised his lips. From what he had seen, Bella hadn't gone to see Kiehl since she ca to the Palace. Nonetheless, he thought everything collapsed this morning when she said, ‘From next ti, call Crown Princess.’
‘As expected, she was forced to beco the Crown Princess.'
He moved one eyebrow and decided to use the card he had.
“Miss. Can I help you a little?”
“…What?"
“If Lady Bella resigns as crown princess, a new opportunity may co to Miss Rosanne.”
As Bella thought, Juan was a good-for-nothing to Rosanne. However, there was sothing Bella hadn't thought of.
“No.”
…It was the growth of the female lead.
