In My Next Life I'll Win the Heart of the Male Lead
There's nothing wrong with Adelaide's life. There's nothing wrong with being cheated on. After all, half of marriages end in divorce and most end from infidelity. There's nothing wrong with getting addicted to an otome game. After all, everybody has something they're obsessed with. There's nothing wrong with reincarnating as the villainess instead of the heroine. After all, the villainess is richer and more powerful. There's nothing wrong with the villainess chasing after one of the love interests. After all, it's not like he's the canon route. There's nothing wrong with Ophelia's life.
Delay
Finally.
The rain has stopped, and the skies have cleared up.
The world outside the manor is a giant muddy mess.
We are not traveling by wagon in that.

May marches through the room in an exaggerated manner, and holds one of the cookies in both of her hands.
"Hmm..." She narrows her eyes at it as she contemplates it carefully, holding the sweet delicacy in front of her.
"...Do you think I should eat this myself...or give it to someone?"
She poses the question to Roland and Lucas, who sit in the living room and wait out the rain, and both of the men chuckle in amusement as she carries on.
The small child's childish curiosity is utterly charming.
Roland smiles and rests his chin in his hand, giving her an indulgent look. "That's a toughie, eh?" He chuckles under his breath, tilting his head.
