On her seventh birthday, Lilia, the daughter of a Duke, remembers something terrible. She’s been reincarnated as a villainess in an otome game. In the game, she was a queen candidate that abused her power, but in the end—after all her wrongdoings were exposed—she was condemned.

I want to break this death flag somehow!

She insists on getting engaged to Clark, the son of a frontier count before she’s betrothed to the first prince. But what she didn’t realize is that Clark was a potential capture target… A tsundere who has grown up to be a splendid yandere.

This is the story of Lilia—who believes that this world is an otome game—and Clark, who tries to fulfill her wishes.

---

“Lillia, yesterday after school—”

This world is an otome game, and that is a fact that I am aware of.

The title was… I forgot exactly what it was, but the stage was set here, in this academy of magic.

The heroine was an unrelenting young girl who always smiled. Despite being a commoner, she possessed magic, a power exclusive to members of nobility, and for that reason, she was enrolled in this school.

However, in a school where the daughters of distinguished families gather, she was not met with warm welcomes.

Nevertheless, despite continuous bullying she was subjected to, she remained steadfast and persevered through it. And in doing so, the capturable characters witnessing that sight slowly become drawn to her――well, at least that was how the game’s synopsis went.

I am Lillia, the evil villainess who tormented that girl.

Lillia, with her clout as a duke’s daughter, utilized her title as the first prince’s betrothed, the future queen, to discriminate against others.

Lillia, who held lineage absolute, could not stand the presence of a peasant.

After failing to lay the blame on the heroine for numerous crimes and after her countless assassination attempts were thwarted, the full extent of her evil deeds were ultimately exposed and her engagement was then canceled; disowned by her ducal family, she fell to the rank of a common folk.

“You see, I—”

I was 7-years-old when I came to that realization.

I am glad that I was not even a year later in remembering. After all, it is on her seventh birthday that Lillia becomes engaged to the first prince.

To the root of all evil (my arbitrary opinion), the first prince.

The moment I recalled that fact, I was in a panic. I had to avoid the engagement somehow.

I don’t want to stop being an aristocrat. I hate working. I want to continue eating delicious food.  Those were the selfish thoughts I had. Noblesse oblige? What’s that? Is it tasty?

The decision I made while running around in an overly restless state like an idiot was to enter a marriage with some margrave’s son whom I ran into by chance while walking aimlessly and losing my way at the tea party I was invited to the following day.

It is ridiculous, right? Because I think it is incredibly absurd too. Why did I choose him? He who I know nothing about.

Most likely, that was just how much of a panic I was in. Otome game? Villainess? What does that all mean?

But either way, I got dragged along by the eager young boy over to our mothers during the midst of their friendly conversation where he proclaimed the following.

“Mother, I want to marry this girl!”

What? Why? Was the face that my mother made, and it was also the face that his mother made. And I too made the same face.

However, for whatever reason, I could not betray that eager young boy’s smile. He had an almost frightening level of enthusiasm.

…And well, that was more or less how I got engaged to Clark, the son, and heir of a margrave.

“…Hey, Lillia, are you listening?”

Said a sullen voice beside me. I was recalling so many things that my mind was completely off in a different world.

At this point in time, I’m sitting in the cafeteria terrace adjacent to the academy following class. Alone? No, that’s not right, I’m with my both pitiful yet lovely fiance who got into the predicament of becoming engaged with me during my panic.

“Sorry, I was just thinking. So, uhm…”

As I was mumbling, he, Clark, put on a slightly odd, but affectionate “there’s no helping it” type of expression.

Clark possesses beautiful black hair tinged with blue like the midnight sky. My hair color, on the other hand, was not so magical; it was an ordinary brown, so I envy him.

But the thing more mystically beautiful than anything were those eyes.

Clark’s left eye was sapphire and his right eye was diamond. If I had to be exact, he had blue and silver heterochromia.

His deep transparent blue iris and his strangely-colored eye, sparkling and glistening like a diamond refracting light, were so beautiful that you could not help but stare in admiration.

When we first met, my eyes were fixated on his face whilst thinking how lovely it was. Even now, it happens from time to time. After all, he is indeed beautiful.

When I talked to Clark afterwards, I heard negative remarks about how those were “cursed eyes”, but that did not matter to me.

I find cursed eyes to be super cool. Ugh, my right eye is aching…! I’d be fine with Clark even if he were to say that. For it is heterochromia, after all. And the source for that is me.

Since I am a dumb, so those things came straight out of my mouth. And once I did, following the shock, he started crying.

Thus, the engagement somehow proceeded, and once it was formally set, I remembered something seriously important.

…Ah, Clark too was a capturable character.

“Lillia, you’re always off in your own world, so it can’t be helped. Though, I do like that part of you too”

“I… I see. So, so then… What were you saying?”

At some point, he who had been a sharp-tongued, heavily tsun tsundere within the game had become a well-mannered deredere. He has not even the slight ounce of tsun in him.

He says “I love you” as easily as breathing, and uses sweet words befitting the mood like nice weather today.

I can feel that I’m loved but… It’s embarrassing, very embarrassing.

Sorry for distorting the scenario and becoming engaged to you, but my life is dependent on this. Although those feelings of pity were all I felt, before I knew it, I was flawlessly moved by his affection.

How could I not be? If you had such a handsome man whispering love to you constantly, you’d lose.

Besides, I don’t want to become a commoner! I who took action with that as my motive, in wanting to marry him and to not be demoted to a peasant, have recently devoted myself to destroying the otome game’s death flags each and every day.

Clark saw me flustered and laughed.

“W-What?”

“Well, I was just thinking that you really are cute”

“You… That’s being unfair…”

“From my perspective, you’re the one who’s being unfair. Because you’re more adorable than anything else in this world simply by existing”

“J-Jeez! Please stop!”

“No. I won’t stop. You are my goddess, after all”

“L-Like I said—”

“I love you, Lillia”

“~Ngh. Come on!”

To be able to say such nauseatingly flattering words with a straight face, Clark is amazing. And more amazing than that is how this is how he normally is. He has 0 awareness that he’s making passes.

Since this was something that keeps leveling up over the years, no matter how much time has passed, I still can’t get used to it. It makes me wonder what will happen once we get married.

“So, so, the thing you were talking about!?”

“…Oh, right, I forgot. Yesterday after school, I went into town. And so, here’s a present for you”

“Present? Why today?”

“There’s no particular reason for it to be today, but if I must say, it’s because your gift was completed yesterday. You see, this is a custom-made item”

As he was saying that, what he brought out before my eyes was a barrette.

A cute but simple barrette in the shape of tiny white flowers and ivy leaves. Much like the flower crowns made by a child, the unadorned cuteness is just how I like it.

“Wow…! It’s extremely pretty… Is this baby’s-breath?”

“That’s right. In the language of flowers, it symbolizes ‘a pure heart’ and ‘innocence’. Don’t you think it fits you perfectly?”

“P-Perfect… I’m not that pure of a girl… So uh, what’s this ivy?”

“This is an ivy known as the common ivy”

“What does it represent?”

The moment I asked, Clark put a big smile.

“‘Eternal Love'”

He really is sly. A barrette with that kind of meaning behind it is so embarrassing that I won’t be able to wear it.

Seeing me troubled, Clark chuckled again happily, and then with the barrette in hand said, “I’ll put it on for you.”

Without realizing, I started looking down out of embarrassment. Surely, my face was pretty red right now.

“It’s on. Hee hee, it really suits. Make sure to wear it every day from now on, alright?”

“…I-I’ll consider it.”

Despite saying, I would surely end up wearing it each day. No way. At this rate, it’s like I’m the tsundere.

“—So then, today is…”

The air around Clark changed. I nodded and took out several pieces of paper out of my bag.

“As we had discussed yesterday, considering the previous event, today will be the confession scene, most likely”

“On the rooftop garden, right?”

“Yes. And if it goes well…”

“It’ll be alright. You set up a lot of flægs for the sake of today, didn’t you?”

“Right… You’re right, it’s fine, right?”

I’m scared that the heroine will condemn me, but at the end of the day, Clark is also a capture target. Frightened that the heroine will seize Clark, I decided to move from there and stick her to one of the other capturable characters.

There were various candidates, but out of them, I chose the teacher character.

First, the teacher, like the heroine, was a commoner. Moreover, in the teacher’s route, Lillia did not bully the heroine much. In other words, it will end without me falling to ruin. Safe and secure.

Since they’re both commoners, they’ll probably suit each other. Besides, in having a student and teacher relationship, they have enough obstacles as is.

Also, Clark supported the Teacher route. When I recommended the teacher based on previous experience, Clark began pushing the Teacher route with great momentum. I wonder if it was jealousy? It was cute.

…On that note, I have talked to Clark about the whole otome game thing. And despite not understanding anything of the game or characters, he gave me his complete cooperation.

He is way too adaptive.

Clark has memorized all the events and conversations regarding the Teacher route that I could bring to mind.

On top of that, he has seriously discussed how we should proceed or what options would be best with me.

For example, if there is an encounter event at a certain place, summon both the teacher and the heroine to that place, and if there is an event to increase their intimacy level somewhere, arrange to have only the two people there.

With the game’s power, you may not have to go that far, but you can never be too careful.

“If you’re that worried, let’s go take a little peek”

“That’s bad for the two of them…”

“…Is that what you really think?”

“I want to go”

“Then we ought to go”

Said Clark gleefully. After which he took my hand, and we headed towards the rooftop garden as though we were hopping along.

There are so many things I’m anxious about. That said, it is also a fact that at some point, destroying death flags had become my purpose in life.

It’s as enjoyable as solving puzzles. Like I’m watching a picture slowly come together, it’s fun to witness the teacher and heroine grow closer day by day.

I’m sure Clark’s the same. Since, for some reason, he’s in a good mood.

Besides, even if I had not been strangely nervous, it’d be fine. The game’s invisible influence so to speak is functioning properly in the background.

For example:

“……Oh, my, I’m so—”

“…Hiiie! Ah, I a-apologize, please forgive me—!”

“…It’s fine, don’t worry about it”

“Ah! Ahhh, what a relief…”

Something like that.

Just now, as I was walking down the hallway while talking to Clark, I suddenly bumped into a male student, and before I could apologize, they started apologizing profusely.

That’s right. Despite not having done anything of note, I’m feared like I was in-game. And thanks to that, although I want friends, there are no signs of that happening.

In spite of that, Clark’s kind to me. He’d say, “Even if you don’t have friends, it’ll be alright because you have me” and smile.

With Clark’s physical appearance and communication skills, he could get along with just about anyone, yet, Clark’s always with me. I’m sorry, that you had to be stuck with this loner.

Since Clark spoils me to a shocking degree, if I were to marry into Clark’s house, I might just fall into depravity in the end.

When I complained about how much of a pain high society is and how I don’t want to partake in evening galas nor tea parties, Clark smiled gently and said the following.

“If that’s the case then never go. Worry not, my territory’s the cornerstone of our national defense, so my authority is not something that will waver just because my wife dislikes social gatherings”

I wanted to take up that offer, but that’s asking a bit too much. Regardless, I should, at the very least, make some appearances… I think.

Sifting out the true intentions of other nobles is way too tiring. But since Clark said he doesn’t mind either, for future’s sake, my thoughts were to attend the bare minimum necessary.

That’s the way things are even now, though. After all, whenever I mention tea parties or evening galas, Clark would sulk. And when I ask him what’s wrong, he would reply with the following.

“Lillia, you’re an absolute beauty, so you’ll surely capture everyone’s gaze. You see, I don’t like that, I don’t want anyone besides me to be captivated by you”

Needless to say, I end up agonizing over it afterwards.

…That’s beside the point.

I’m embarrassed at myself for thinking about Clark whenever there’s the chance.

In any case, the way I’m hated by everyone is an example of how the game’s influence remains at work.

The male student who bumped into me lifted their face and had a look of relief for a brief moment before it immediately turned pale and they started bolting the other way.

…As expected, that still kind of hurts.

“Was my expression that terrifying…”

“Of course not… To tell you the truth, I had glared at the guy who crashed into you a little. That’s what scared him”

Clark’s excellent at even the follow-ups. I then smiled at Clark as a way of saying thank you.

“—I am a teacher and I know that I must not hold feelings towards a student. However, I… I’m in love with you. So please, would you be willing to live a life with me?”

I had reached the rooftop, and when I stealthily opened the door linked to the rooftop garden, I heard the teacher’s words.

I saw the sight of the teacher holding the heroine in his arms. Ahhh… The spectacle’s identical to the CG.

It was the teacher that I was a fan of and also, I loved this confession scene. So, ahh! What a wonderful sight this is!

I was so excited that I pulled on the hem of Clark’s clothes while blurting out, “This is amazing!”

Seeing me like this, Clark, who was beside me, gave a faint smile.

“Teacher… I love you too, Teacher. And so—”

Without realizing, I had leaned forward. Then—there was a loud creaking sound as the door opened further.

The two instantly turned around, and my face stiffened.

“…Ru…”

“Ru?”

“We have to run!”

I grabbed Clark’s hand and rushed down the stairs.

I was panting. I’m not used to exercising, so running from the rooftop garden to the original terrace at max speed took the breath out of me very quickly. Meanwhile, Clark, who I was facing, looked unfazed.

“Are you okay? Please, calm down”

“I… I’m fine. More importantly, what do we do? They definitely saw our faces…”

My mind was racing, but Clark spoke as if it were of no concern.

“It’s alright. We just have to keep this a secret from everyone else”

“Is… Is that so?”

“Yup. That aside… The əˈvent was a proper success”

That’s true. The confession scene was a proper success.

Gradually, joy well up in me. I’m glad, I’m so glad. With this—

“With this, Clark really is mine…”

I was taken aback when I mumbled that out loud unintentionally. When I quietly examined Clark’s face, sure enough, he looked rather displeased.

Clark would look extremely annoyed whenever I suggest that he could’ve fallen in love with the heroine.

“That’s wholly unexpected. You’re the only person I love”

“I-I know. But… The power of the game might’ve taken hold, you know?”

“Power of the gām, huh…”

The tone of that voice sounded like it had other implications. I went “Oh?” to question him, to which Clark only shook his head. Nevertheless, he had the same gentle expression as usual.

“It’s nothing… In any case, since things have worked out exactly like it did in that gām, has your wish been granted?”

“Heh. Now I have to make sure I don’t get demoted commoner—”

“I would never allow that to happen, so it’ll be fine. There’s no way I would lose this so-called gām‘s power.”

Clark gave me a firm nod as to put me at ease. Relieved, I went “Yes, you’re right” and nodded back.

With this, we can publicly marry. Losing to neither the heroine nor the game, although I may have been born as the villainess, I was able to find happiness despite that.

“Hey, Lillia, we promised, didn’t we? Once that girl and that teacher have successfully gotten together, you’d marry me”

By this point, I wonder why he’s asking that. He and I are already engaged, so I too had my heart entirely stolen by him.

My intentions were to give a strong affirmation like “Isn’t that obvious?” or “Of course”. However, whenever I try to say it, it becomes weirdly embarrassing.

“…Lillia?”

“P-Please don’t ask me that now…”

In the end, that’s what I said, as I trailed off almost inaudibly. My face was hot. My heartbeats were echoing loudly.

It was only natural for me to marry Clark, but realizing that it’s actually happening makes me embarrassed.

“No. I want to hear it coming directly from your mouth”

“Wah! C-Clark…?”

He placed his hand on my chin and tilted it up. He was suddenly lifting my face by my chin.

Clark’s expression was almost painfully serious and Clark’s eyes stared straight at me.

“You love me, right? You’ll marry me, right?”

“…Ah, you’re so mean. Of course, I want to marry you too…”

As I spoke, the sapphire and diamond suddenly glistened as beautiful tears trickled down. And in the next moment, Clark was embracing me.

“I’m glad. I’m so relieved…”

“Clark…?”

“…I was incredibly anxious. You said you wanted to be betrothed to someone other than the prince in order to avoid ending up the way you did in that gām, right? So, ‘In reality, would anyone have worked?’ or ‘It didn’t have to be me, did it?’ was what was on my mind… Haha, who am I to criticize others? I doubted you whom I love more than anything else in the world”

“Clark…”

I feel guilty for making Clark feel as uneasy as I was. Not going to lie, up till this point, I must’ve been too caught up in the whole game thing.

Things are alright now, the heroine’s now bound to another character, and I’m not getting expelled from school either.

And nor will I be torn from the kind, embarrassingly sweet, and sometimes a little over-the-top Clark whom I love ever so dearly.

“Don’t worry, I won’t doubt you ever again. I love you, Lillia. More than anyone or anything else in this world. So, could you please laugh by my side for the rest of our lives?”

Said Clark with a smile as he looked at my face and released me. While those eyes were full of tears, I thought… Ahhh, as expected, he’s always so over-the-top.

I was close to tears too, but I made sure to reply with a smile.

“—Of course, Clark.”

---

—Cursed eyes.

I wonder when I first began to be despised. Perhaps, it was from the moment I was born. My right eye had the same blue as my mother and father, but for some reason, my right eye was silver.

A child whose right eye possesses a different color will bring disaster—is how the old saying goes.

It’s one thing if it were a big city like the royal capital, but in the remote land where I was born, such old legends still remained.

Because of that, I had been loathed by my parents ever since I was aware. Most likely, if they had a son besides me, I would’ve undoubtedly been killed.

I’ve done nothing wrong, I was simply born—such arguments were futile. For my very birth was unforgivable in and of itself.

These eyes scare even the children who know nothing of the legend. Even though I was told to attend the tea party by my mother, I was feared by and detested by everyone.

Disgusting, scary, monster, I’m cursed. Receiving such heartless words from both my parents and children I’ve never met and being looked upon with cold stares, I ran away from that tea party that day.

This was the just way I was born, and I’m working my hardest, so why? I’m not a monster, I’m not cursed, my right eye’s just a different color.

Nobody understood. I was alone. At this rate, I’ll live the rest of my life feared by everyone and die unwanted and alone.

Lost in the garden I ran off to, I cried quietly as though to hide myself from the world when――suddenly, a miracle happened.

“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

I heard a clear and beautiful voice of a girl. I lifted my head and instantly regretted it. Even though she kindly called out to me, if she were to see these eyes, she’ll undoubtedly be creeped out and run away.

However, that wasn’t the case.

“Your eyes are beautiful”

“…Eh?”

Said the girl before my eyes with a bright look on her face.

I was startled. There had only been people who feared these eyes until now.

“…They are not. My eyes are cursed. They bring disaster”

“Really? Oh, but… I think they’re pretty. Your right eye’s diamond and your left eye’s sapphire!”

I thought time had stopped.

Before I noticed, the girl before me went into a panic. I wanted to ask her what’s wrong when I realized that I wouldn’t get my words out amidst my sobs. Oh, I was crying.

“A-Are you okay? Are you hurt?”

“N-No, you’re the only person who wasn’t scared after seeing my… My eyes… So I’m so happy…”

“That’s an exaggeration. I love your eyes. They’re pretty and they’re incredibly cool, don’t you think? Like… Ugh, my right eye is aching…! I’d be fine even if you were to say that”

“What is that supposed to mean?”

I tried to laugh, but more tears started spilling.

And when the girl hastily passed me a handkerchief, it made me so happy that I cried even louder.

That was the first act of kindness I had ever received in my life.

Her curly hazel hair sparking under the light of the sun and her transparent amethyst-colored eyes were so beautiful that—I immediately fell in love.

I thought she was an angel who descended upon Earth.

However, that wasn’t the end of the miracle.

“Engage…ment?”

“That’s right. I’m about to be engaged to the prince, but I absolutely hate that idea. I would much rather be engaged to someone like you”

“With…me…?”

“…Sorry for saying something strange. It must be confusing to hear that from a person you suddenly just met”

She had a bitter smile, but during that moment, I had this gut feeling— If I were to let this opportunity escape, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.

“Well, I, I want to marry you! I want to make you my bride!”

“…Eh? Are you serious?”

“Yes! Serious! Come on, we have to tell our mothers!”

“Eh? Ehhh!?”

I went and grabbed her hand and asked her to announce our engagement with me. It was as if all the misfortune I had experienced up until this point had been settled and repaid with plenty of change.

And that was how I obtained the best, the kindest and the most beautiful fiancee in the world.

---

“…Hey, are you trying to play me a fool? I told you to memorize it by today, did I not?”

“H-Hiie! I-I’m so sorry!”

The girl in front of me was pale and quivering in fear. It’s honestly annoying. Had it not been for Lillia’s sake, I would have never done this.

“Haaa… You really are incompetent. You, does your family hold no importance to you?”

“I-I’m sorry, I’ll memorize it all right now, so anything but my family!”

“So noisy. Stop squealing and start memorizing already”

“Y-Yes!”

The girl, while half-crying, quickly looked down at the papers in her hands. 

“You… Well, I guess you’re taking it seriously again. But, can’t you put more emotion into it? It’ll dampen the enjoyment if you say it in such a monotone fashion”

“…Is there any meaning in doing this?”

“Hah? What does that have to do with you? Shut up and follow my orders, you scum”

There was one more person, a man, who made a small objection despite his look of dread.

It’s truly annoying. If it weren’t for Lillia, I would’ve disposed of such useless trash already.

All girls besides Lillia are vermin, and I have no need for the existence of men other than me. I wish everybody else could disappear so that the world’s only me and Lillia.

I do not personally understand what the terms otome gām, kerəktər, əˈvent or flægs mentioned by Lillia meant.

However, if it’ll please Lillia then I ought to move the heroine and teacher before me the way she entailed. Lillia smiles happily just seeing by the two of them in motion, after all.

Manipulating those two is simple. For those two are commoners.

The disappearance of a noble girl would cause a huge ruckus, but erasing one or two commoners is hardly an issue. At the very least, if done well, the blame would not fall on me.

And so, by threatening them with the safety of their families, they comply wonderfully.

—Everything is for the sake of Lillia’s smile.

I do not know why Lillia fears becoming a commoner, there is no need to worry about such things.

If any harm ever comes to you, I’ll erase every person involved. And then, I’d escape with you, Lillia, to a place where no one knows of us.

The əˈvent is tomorrow. Surely, Lillia will be delighted as well.

Also, we had made a promise. I said to Lillia who thought these two worthless pieces of garbage before me might’ve been in love, “if those two actually start dating, marry me.”

I’ve done many things for Lillia’s sake.

After a while, I realized that Lillia liked kind men with soft expressions and mannerisms who constantly speak sweet lines to her.

Since the “Teacher” kerəktər that Lillia spoke of had that type of vibe.

And so, I worked hard to conform closer to Lillia’s tastes so that I would not lose to that teacher.

I desperately grappled with the smile that I was poor at, I made daily efforts to not spit out harsh words, I searched for phrases that Lillia liked and I also put research in what actions Lillia preferred.

Right now, in Lillia’s eyes, I am surely a man who wouldn’t lose to that teacher in terms of attractiveness. Otherwise, I’d be troubled.

The mere image of my most beloved Lillia flirting with another man drives me insane.

Lillia, the one person in this hellish world that smiled and called the cursed eyes that even I didn’t acknowledge, beautiful.

Lillia, the one who compared these cursed eyes to “a sapphire and diamond.”

Lillia, a goddess kinder than all others in the world, no matter how much she has grown, she remains unchangingly beautiful, overflowing with love and at times, naive.

Your lustrous hazel-colored hair, your eyes that shines like amethyst, your long curled lashes, your defined nose bridge, your pink lips, your well-shaped jaw, your small plump hands, your smooth porcelain-like skin, your long slim legs, and your symmetrical figure, all of it, I love it all, naturally, what I love isn’t just your appearance, the way you immediately extend your hand out to people in need and the way you never discriminate, I love that kind-heartedness of yours, that was what made me first fall in love with you, I also love that pleasant voice that resounds like Gospels, your liking for modest and cute miscellaneous things, and how you surprisingly can’t handle sweets, my heart overflows with joy by the mere act of hearing your voice, yes, and the way said you loved blue skies and rainbows across it like a romanticist too, I also love how you get embarrassed after saying those things and how you get embarrassed over the most trivial things like cute person you are, but the thought of you being taken advantage of by unscrupulous men horrifies me, no matter what happens, I would never hand you over to another man, I really hate revealing you to other people’s eyes, it worries me that you’ll tainted by being exposed to the gaze of those filthy trash, the person who can make you the happiest is me for I’m the one who loves you the most in the world, whenever I say that I would not mind turning the world my enemy for your sake, you would show a bitter smile, but I’m serious, and in the first place, I have no need for anyone else besides us in this world, because you see, in exchange, you’ll belong to me and me alone, I can’t live without you, and before long, I’ll make it so that you can’t live without me, for starters, I spread a bunch of rumors in school and drove away all the filth that dared to approach you, you’re kind-hearted, so I was worried that you’d mourn over those scum, you only need me, right, you’re happy as long as you have me, right, you only require me to survive, right, because I’ll grant all your wishes, and then when we graduate school and have our wedding, I’ll make various arrangements so that you’ll never have to leave the mansion, you only have to look at me, after all, there’s no need to attend social events, because if you go to such a place, some worthless trash might fall in love with you, and since it’s difficult to eliminate nobles, if possible, I’d rather not go through that trouble, of course, if it’s for your sake then no work is too egregious, it’s almost like a dream for us to live together in happiness, and those days are soon approaching, ah, I love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love you more than anything else in the world, Lillia—

I gave a single stroke to the barrette I planned on giving Lillia within my pocket.

This was an item I had custom made for Lillia, and it is modeled after baby’s-breaths and ivies.

Baby’s-breaths in the language of flowers symbolize a pure heart, innocence, kindness and happiness. It is perfect for you who has the beauty and purity of a goddess.

On top of that, ivies in the language of flowers represent eternal love, undying, faithfulness, and marriage. However, that is not all.

Ivies have one more important meaning in the language of flowers. And that is—

—”Not even death will do us part”.
