2 The House of Duke Vanaere

No matter what angle in the Mirror I look from I'm her.

Lady Madison Narcisse Vanaere.

The long soft blonde curls, lilac eyes, pastel dress and tiny body give off an angelic appearance, how did this face become that of the Villainess known in my world as the 'Mad Self-Centred Disgrace'.

Sighing I turn away from the mirror and flop back on the bed.

"Miss are you ok, your fever isn't back, is it?" My maid, Sophie rushed forward to check my forehead.

"I'm ok Sophie, just a little bit tired" I replied without moving. This body is VERY weak.

It appears my memory's returned after a particularly bad summer cold, the fever lasted 3 days and nights before it broke, you'd think at 4 years old this body should be far sturdier, but even moving around for long periods is tiring. No wonder her family spoilt her, if you had something so delicate and precious to protect that seemed like it would disappear if a gust of wind blew to hard, you'd spoil it too.

I say this body and her, but the reality is, I'm her and she is me, I hardly remember the previous me, a few flashes here and there, I'm not sure of my name or if I even had any family waiting for me to come home, the thing I remember most clearly is mundane office work, romance games and books.... I must have been lonely back then.

If I knew I was going to reincarnate into the world of - To Capture A Nation, I would have played the game more, I can hardly remember the key scenarios and characters, my most prominent thoughts are about the Evil Villainess's end, be it exile or commoner or even death, it never ended well for her, even when the Heroine failed and reached a bad ending, her evil deeds always came to light and her punishments were always horrible.

It seems there's a very simple way for me to avoid the fate of the games Madison, just break the destruction flags then enjoy a happy life.

Don't be cruel, go out of your way to help people, don't be selfish... all these things are simple enough. My contemplation came to an end with a loud grumble of my stomach. I look towards Sophie to see if she noticed - she's smirking, she definitely noticed, how embarrassing .

"Young miss it should just be able time for supper, shall we head to the dining hall." She held out her hand for me to take. I nod and we head downstairs to the dinner table.

My family was already gathered and I took my respective seat, after my farther said some words we began the meal.

The house of Duke Vanaere's contains 5 people, the Duke and Duchess 'Silas' and 'Arrabella' Vanaere - my Mother and Father, Mother has the same hair colour and style as mine long blonde loose curls fall delicately to her waist, although her eyes are green like emeralds, Father says she is the most renowned beauty in the capital, and I believe him, she has gentle features and a voluptuous body, overall it's a face that men would go to war for.

Father on the other hand has a slightly more rough around the edges look, both his eyes and hair are lilac with his hair being short and naturally wind swept, he was probably once muscly but years of paperwork have let that fade - how he became the kings prime minister is a mystery, he acts like such a needy goof at home although I guess he looks scary when angry. At 30 years old when together they were an extremely attractive couple, Mother also tells me story's about father wooing her, so although there marriage was political it was full of love and happiness.

I also have 2 brothers.

Levi Vanaere is my older brother, and a capture target, I'm pretty sure he's hard to get because Levi is 6 years older than me and since the otome game starts at the high school opening he should have long left the school, I never played his route because it took to long to get to and the bookish type always bored me, but he must have been a teacher or guest otherwise how would he meet the protagonist.

Levi is 10 this year and looks the spitting image of Father both his hair and Eye colour are Lilac although his hair is long and straight tied at the base of his neck, he also doesn't have the muscles dad has and Levi wears big round glasses to help him see. With his docile and quite personally, he and Game Madison stopped getting along at some point and he avoided her bossy attitude.

Finally is Cornelius, he's the youngest member of our family, only a year younger than me he just turned 3. He is also a capture target. Cornelius's look is the exact opposite of mine in terms of eye and hair colour, his eyes are Green like Mothers and his hair is the same lilac mess as farther, it was short and unruly just like him, it's a commonly known fact that all males of the Vanaere's blood line have the same lilac hair. His face is still very round and pudgy so there should be no way to know what he'll look like when he grows up.

But I know!

His character look was one of my favourites it was boyish and cute and he knew how to use that look to manipulate people.

Because game Madison took up so much of everyone's time and attention Cornelius was left neglected quite a lot as a child, so when the protagonist came along, he was quite possessive and sadistic about her belonging to only him. The bad end was gruesome for all parties involved in that route, but as I look at the cute baby next to me now struggling with his spoon, i vowel never to let him become that.

So step one of breaking the Flags... dote on my brothers and have a happy family life.
