2 - My Husband is My Favorite, But I Think I'm Going to Get Divorced
Episode 2
It has been two days since I woke up in Evgenia's body.
I felt a slight headache and placed my hand on my forehead. I then felt the bandage wrapped around my forehead.
Miss, are you awake?
……Ann?
Suddenly, I remembered being surprised twice two days ago: once by the sight of the antique room, and again by the Western woman in a maid's uniform.
At the same time, I was shocked by the name that came out of my mouth so naturally.
The moment I realized it was the name of the maid whom Evgenia, the villain in <The Saintess's Dangerous Choice>, treated like a confidante, I immediately realized.
That I had possessed the novel… that a novel-like thing had happened!
Could I be dead? No, I wasn't hit by a truck, was I?
I only wondered for a moment.
'That's right, I sent an email…….'
I felt a little embarrassed when I remembered that instead of writing a long, malicious comment, I had openly commissioned the author for a manuscript.
Was it thanks to that? I completely accepted this situation.
"Yeah. I don't know why, but I have to accept it, what else can I do?"
At first, I was flustered and thought it was a dream, but even after sleeping and waking up again, this was reality.
I shook my head as if I felt sorry for myself.
However.
"Hehehe."
A sinister laugh escaped my lips.
I looked at the vanity mirror with its ornate carvings.
Although I had a bandage on my forehead, I saw the face of a beautiful woman with long, dark black hair and mysterious, enchanting violet eyes, so much so that it wasn't a flaw at all.
However, her upturned eyes were very sharp…… At first glance, she had the impression of a venomous and scary villain.
And although she was actually a notorious villain, this body was destined to marry my favorite, Euclid.
……Ah, albeit after divorcing and becoming his ex-wife. Sniff.
\ \ \
<The Saintess's Dangerous Choice>, which I possessed, was a typical reverse harem romance novel in which the female protagonist, Melissa, was loved by the Crown Prince, the High Priest, and the Assassination Guild master.
However, as the title "Dangerous Choice" suggests, all three male protagonists were somewhat abnormal and dangerous men.
Nevertheless, it was quite popular, and the readers who had invested in different male leads were constantly fighting in the comments.
'……Except for me.'
Unfortunately, I couldn't join the fight.
I had tremendous luck in making stocks skyrocket no matter how carelessly I picked them, but my luck was only focused on financial matters.
'Why did I have to fall for a supporting character!'
And the husband of a terrible villain who neglects her family while clinging to the Crown Prince!
That's right. My favorite's name is Euclid Rudion.
He was an unlucky man who was so poor despite being the head of the Ducal House that he married the villain.
I don't know why I fell for such an insignificant character.
I just lost my heart from the moment Euclid appeared.
If I had to say, Euclid's consistent kindness and politeness stood out among the arrogant and selfish male leads.
But in fact, he had almost no presence in the novel. He wasn't even mentioned once until the end after he got divorced in the middle.
Anyway, the original is the original, and everything will be gone once I possess it.
In fact, only after possessing it did I feel like this was my world, as if I had wished for it all along.
'Well, it's not wrong.'
Even though I had so much money, I only wanted to earn more.
I didn't have much attachment to life, and rather, I shed tears over Euclid's dust-like amount of screen time and wanted to meet him even once.
So I'll believe that someone, whether it's the author or a god, granted my wish.
It's a silent revelation that I should create a new story with Euclid as the main character!
"Yeah. So I'm going to pave the way properly."
As I chuckled and thought about paving the way for my favorite's future, I heard a "Hic!" from somewhere.
I raised my head and saw Ann, who was opening the door and coming in, trembling as she looked at me.
'Anyone would think she heard me say I was going to crush someone.'
I was puzzled for a moment, but remembering Evgenia's scary face, I easily accepted it.
I hate to admit it, but my original face also had a cold impression that was no less than Evgenia's, so I was used to people's reactions like this.
"Did you bring it?"
"Yes? Yes!"
At my question, Ann answered in a very disciplined voice and took out a sturdy rope from her bag.
She must be about seventeen years old. I wanted to pat Ann's head and praise her for doing a good job because she was a puppy-like girl with big, innocent eyes who moved quickly.
'But then she'll be scared, right?'
It was clear that Ann would think it was strange because it was an action that didn't suit Evgenia.
Other possessors usually said that they had memories left in their bodies, but strangely, I had no memory of Evgenia at all.
In this situation, I couldn't hide my abnormal condition from Ann, my only confidante, so I made the somewhat obvious excuse that I seemed to have 'partial amnesia'.
Fortunately, Ann readily accepted my lie. This was because there had already been an accident that caused the noble lady Evgenia to have a bandage on her forehead.
- So, what happened before I lost consciousness? Why did I get the wound on my forehead?
Ann was a reliable helper, but if she knew that I was a soul from another world who had arbitrarily taken over Evgenia's body, she might turn into the worst enemy. So, I asked in a cold tone as much as possible like Evgenia…….
- Miss. Then, don't you remember that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince sent a marriage proposal to Melissa?
Ann, who had been hesitating for a while, asked back in a frightened voice.
The Crown Prince sent a marriage proposal to Melissa?
Fortunately, the story hadn't progressed much and was rather close to the beginning.
Melissa, who had lived as a commoner without knowing that her mother was the Basillian Duchess and that she was the Duke's only niece, and who had met the male lead candidates one after another, such as the Crown Prince who had come out in disguise and the High Priest who had come out for volunteer work, had just entered the Ducal House.
Besides, Evgenia had a bad personality, but she was basically indifferent to people other than the Crown Prince.
'So she hasn't harassed Melissa yet…… Ah.'
Come to think of it, she said she knew the Crown Prince had sent a marriage proposal.
Did she perhaps already run to Melissa and make a fuss? Could she have collapsed while doing that…….
Please! Please just be quietly shocked and lose consciousness and hit something like a corner!
I suppressed my anxiety and asked.
So. How did I end up collapsing?
That, that's…… After hearing the news, Miss was so angry that she ran to the Duke's office and hit her head against the wall…….
Okay. You don't have to say anymore.
I hurriedly raised my hand to stop Ann from speaking.
'Evgenia, are you really crazy?!'
You hurt yourself because you're angry? And you deliberately barged into the Duke's office to do it?
Even in the novel, there was a story that Evgenia used to harm her body by causing a ruckus and starving herself when she was in a bad mood.
I, who am not inherently kind but always try to be polite, possessed such a reckless character.
Just as I was about to sigh.
'No, no.'
I shouldn't complain.
In any case, it could be said that it was thanks to this personality that the Crown Prince hated Evgenia, and that she was able to marry Euclid.
Changing my mind, I was about to run to the Duke right away to apologize and say that I would give up my obsession with the Crown Prince.
But as soon as I opened the door, bang!
A dull noise and a weapon so sharp that it seemed to blind me came into view.
- ……!
In fact, I had a weak heart, unlike my fierce appearance.
In particular, I had a mild case of aichmophobia, not so severe that it made daily life impossible, but I was afraid of sharp and pointed objects.
Just as I was about to panic and close my eyes tightly, thinking that the spear would fly at me at any moment.
- How dare you show a blade to the Miss! Are you crazy?
I heard a fierce voice that I couldn't believe came from Ann's mouth.
At those words, I heard the knight frantically remove the spear that had been blocking my way.
- Miss, you can open your eyes now.
It must have just been a sincere word that put Evgenia first.
As if she knew I was scared, Ann whispered in my ear.
My heart, which had been beating wildly as if it would pop out, slowly found its rhythm.
Slowly opening my eyes, I finally grasped the situation as I glanced at the frightened knight and the spear he had moved to the side.
That I was currently 'imprisoned'!
