How did this happen?

After reincarnating as the villainess in an otome game,

my engagement was called off at my condemnation event.

Then Prince Aquasteed, a character from the sequel, suddenly showed up and...

Lady Tiararose, would you be my consort?

Aquasteed Marinforest.

He's the main route in the sequel to the otome game The Ring of Lapis Lazuli.

I can't believe my favorite character proposed to me out of the blue!

But why would he propose to me, the villainess?

I-I'm sorry!

There's no need to apologize.

I'm just honored that you were concerned about me.

Well, it's just... you are a favorite among the ladies, so...

Does that mean I can get my hopes up a bit?

Um... Prince Aquasteed, why did you...

propose to me?

There is only one reason.

I wanted you desperately, Lady Tiararose.

The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom

Prince Aqua, Do You Like Sugar?

I first met Prince Aquasteed a year ago at a soirée.

We were in the same class at the academy,

but we hadn't really spoken at all.

So why...

I always watched you from the window of the library.

What? Oh, you mean behind the library?

Yes. I saw you reading in the shade of a tree,

your expressions constantly changing.

You looked adorable.

Adorable?

I was trying to stay out of sight to read and eat sweets with Philine...

and he saw me?!

You looked so serious reading that book,

but then, in the next moment, you were blushing shyly.

When I saw tears in your eyes,

I wanted so badly to embrace you.

P-Please forget about that!

I'm afraid I can't.

We're finally together. Please let me see more of your face.

But... I had no idea you were watching me...

I do apologize if it seems as though I was spying on you.

But as I watched you reading under that tree every day,

I became more and more captivated by you.

So much so that even I was surprised with myself.

It's true.

But you were engaged to Prince Hartknights,

and I could never steal a foreign prince's fiancée.

I intended to keep my feelings to myself.

After completing my year of studying abroad, I returned home

and told myself to forget about you.

But then...

I couldn't believe my luck.

I was desperate not to let that opportunity pass me by.

Rather pathetic, isn't it?

Not at all!

When I was standing there all alone,

your presence was very reassuring!

I was a bit shocked when Prince Hartknights went so far as to banish you.

Though, if you truly were to be banished...

the thought crossed my mind that I might just take you away.

P-Please don't tease me!

I was quite serious.

H-How can he say all this so calmly?

Because he's a character in an otome game?

Or is it just his personality?

Lady Tiararose?

Oh, it's just...

I still can't believe you're so fond of me.

It pains me to hear that you doubt me.

I love you so much, I just can't contain myself.

Adorable.

But unfortunately, it seems we've arrived.

Thank you for seeing me home.

Lady Tiararose, I'd like to invite you out on a date.

May I have a bit of your time?

I would love to.

I've graduated from the academy now,

so I have plenty of time.

Then I'll come for you in three days. Wait for me.

Her engagement canceled! Banishment!

How could that fool say such things to my sweet Tiararose?!

Imagine casting aside our precious Lady Tiararose!

There is no saving that foolish prince!

But I'm glad we learned who that prince really is while they were still engaged.

Wasn't Prince Aquasteed just lovely?

Huh?!

So, Tiararose, how are you going to answer him?

Your engagement to Prince Hartknights has been broken,

and Prince Aquasteed has formally asked you to marry him.

How do you feel about Prince Aquasteed, Lady Tiararose?

Prince Aquasteed is far more than I deserve.

A villainess marrying the crown prince of a neighboring country...

Is such a future even possible?

Open the door.

I cannot do that.

His Majesty has ordered me not to let you in.

I won't stay long.

I'd just like to see how Akari is doing.

Yes, but...

Please. I've realized that my judgment may have been mistaken.

I need to speak with Akari in order to know for sure.

Prince Hartknights!

Akari.

I've missed you, Prince Hartknights!

They won't let me leave this room,

and there's nothing to do in here.

I thought I'd die of boredom!

Boredom?

So what happened at the graduation party

hasn't been on her mind at all?

But you know, I never dreamed Prince Aqua would say that to Lady Tiara.

I just hope he isn't deceiving her.

Akari, was what Tiara said that day true?

That she hasn't done anything wrong?

Huh?

I do remember feeling bad because she was mean to me...

But I had you by my side,

and that was very reassuring!

Prince Hartknights?

Did Lady Tiara say something to you?

I haven't seen her since then.

I don't have the right to.

The villainess is still involved, even after the story is over?

Huh?

I can't stand being locked up in here!

How long must I wait until I can be with you?

I think it's going to take some time.

Please hurry!

And please tell me all about Prince Aqua, too!

Why?

Um...

After what Lady Tiara did to me,

I want to save him before he gets hurt, too!

Prince Hartknights, time is up.

Please don't go yet!

His time is up.

Wait, Prince Hartknights!

I may have made a mistake that can never be undone...

The end of the graduation event

marked the end of all the game's events.

What's going to happen from here on?

Prince Aqua is the main character in the sequel.

I can't imagine a future in which I, the villainess, become his consort.

If the sequel has its own heroine,

Prince Aqua might have a change of heart, too.

Just like Prince Hartknights.

Prince Aquasteed?!

Good evening, Lady Tiararose.

Isn't the moon beautiful tonight?

But... why are you...

I apologize for visiting so late.

I know this is very sudden,

but there's something I simply must show you.

There is?

Are you familiar with the Fairy Star Festival?

Oh, yes.

I wanted to show it to you.

What?

The Fairy Star Festival

The Fairy Star Festival.

It's an event in one episode of The Ring of Lapis Lazuli

that the heroine gets to see with the character she's closest to.

But this isn't the season for that, is it?

Come, fairies!

The wind...

We can't have you catching a cold.

Thank you.

But now you might catch a cold yourself.

I'll be fine. I've trained my body well.

I'm sorry if I'm being a bit coercive.

Oh, no, I... um...

I'm very happy.

Lady Tiararose...

Yes?

Oh, what to do? I'm very happy as well.

I almost feel as if I'm doing something I shouldn't.

I-I, um...

Look at the sky.

Wow! It's incredible!

Prince Aquasteed...

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Lady Tiararose.

His golden eyes look like stars.

I feel like they're sucking me in...

The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom

Hartknights, I hear you visited Lady Akari.

Y-Yes. I apologize for acting on my own.

And did you gain anything from it?

I realized that I believed what Akari said without even questioning it.

I should have listened more to Lady Tiararose.

Lady Tiararose said the same thing.

What?

I apologized to her for the terrible time she had,

but she didn't blame you at all.

I should have spoken more with Prince Hartknights as well.

You two used to talk all the time, did you not?

Yes.

Prince Hartknights!

You mustn't run off during study period and trouble our teacher!

Everyone trembles out of nervousness at first.

I'm trembling as well.

Let's do our best together.

Carry yourself with confidence! You're the crown prince, are you not?

Tiara was constantly scolding me.

Because her focus has always been on the future of the kingdom.

Everything she said was out of concern for your future as the crown prince.

Yes. I had no idea Tiara cared so much for me.

And yet I...

Regret it as you might, the ending of your engagement cannot be undone.

Since I'm going out with a crown prince, it's important to look glamorous,

but my outfit should also be inoffensive no matter where we may go.

White is nice, but maybe I should go with blue?

Philine, what do you think?

You're having so much fun, Lady Tiararose.

Huh?

It is your first date, after all.

Come to think of it, I never went on dates with Prince Hartknights.

It's a hair ornament made of coral,

a specialty of Marinforest, Prince Aquasteed's kingdom.

This seems like too much.

It looks lovely on you.

And His Highness is sure to be pleased when he sees you wearing it.

My heart is pounding in my chest,

and my feet feel like they're floating.

I've never felt like this before.

I never knew such a beautiful place existed!

I'm so glad you like it.

I baked some madeleines and cookies.

Would you like to have some?

You made them? For me?

I'd love to.

Delicious!

I'm so glad!

I love eating sweets,

but I also love baking them!

Delicious sweets bring happiness to those who eat them!

Those madeleines are one of my favorites.

They're light and airy, but perfectly moist.

They pair well with tea, cocoa, and so many other drinks.

I once baked a whole basket full,

then got absorbed in a book, and before I knew it, the basket was empty.

My maid, Philine, was in a panic, saying I'd eaten too much.

You truly do love sweets and books, don't you?

Oh... That was rather unseemly of me, wasn't it?

Not at all.

You are adorable when you're talking about sweets.

I could listen to you forever.

Please don't spoil me so much.

The cookies are delicious, too.

Here. Open wide.

Wh-Wh-Wha...

Is Prince Aquasteed the type to do this kind of thing?!

Come on.

You look cute when you're eating, too.

Say, Lady Tiararose... if you wouldn't mind...

May I call you Tiara?

Yes, of course, Prince Aquasteed.

I'm so glad!

Tiara, please call me Aqua.

P-Prince Aqua...

I didn't feel anything when Prince Hartknights called me Tiara.

What am I to do? I'm so happy, Tiara.

I-If we get this close, he'll notice that my heart is racing!

His heart is racing, too?

I-I got a bit embarrassed...

That was too sudden, wasn't it? I'm sorry.

But, Tiara, you look like you're waiting to be kissed now.

It's too bad.

I had planned to go on more dates and take our time,

but it's no use.

When you're right in front of me, I can't help wanting you.

Tiara, may I ask a favor of you?

Yes, if it's something within my power.

Thank you.

Would you feed me a cookie?

What?

I feel like I'm feeding an animal.

Your cookies have such a gentle flavor.

I could keep eating them forever.

Thank you for saying so.

Does the fact that you're wearing this hair ornament mean

that I can get my hopes up?

I feel so happy.

I don't know what will happen to me, the villainess, from here on.

But if Prince Aqua is so interested in me...

Father, I'd like to talk to you.

Of course. It's about Prince Aquasteed, yes?

I know my daughter well enough to guess.

You're willing to accept, then?

Yes. Please allow me to, Father.

I'll be sad to see my daughter marry into another kingdom,

but seeing you happy and smiling is what matters most to me.

Welcome, Lady Tiararose.

I am Elliot, Prince Aquasteed's attendant.

Elliot

Elliot

I'm sorry my visit was so sudden.

No need to apologize.

Prince Aquasteed was absolutely delighted.

This way, please.

Lapis Lazuli is a wonderful country, isn't it?

The ornaments made there are especially lovely.

We have some very talented craftsmen who work hard on them.

And Marinforest is abundant in natural coral, pearls,

and other jewels of the sea, isn't it?

It's every girl's dream.

Thank you for saying so.

Prince Aquasteed will be pleased as well.

Tiara?

Prince Hartknights?

Tiara, why are you here?

Oh... Are you here to see Prince Aquasteed?

Yes.

I'm sorry for what happened at the graduation party!

Huh?

Prince Hartknights, please raise your head!

But...

A member of the royalty mustn't bow to just anyone.

You always did caution me about all kinds of things.

Thank you for doing so much for me.

I'm so glad he understands.

I'm genuinely happy to see the character I loved in my past life back on his feet.

Tiara...

Tell me, Prince Hartknights...

What were you trying to do to my beloved fiancée?

A Proposal Sweeter Than Honey

A Proposal Sweeter Than Honey

I have always been watching you.

I want to talk to you. I want to touch you.

I want to tell you the feelings that overflow in my chest.
