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.
The Ruined City
Lucas doesn't seem particularly deterred as he walks cautiously beside me.
He's quite confident, for walking deeper and deeper into a long abandoned cavern just waiting to flood or collapse on us.
I suppose if I look at it from the perspective that such a death is better than the existence we'd have under a tyrant with the Angel's Tear I, too, feel more confident walking through this place toward who knows what.
"To the right. Past the statues and through that hole in the wall."
That pitfall was the first trap we saw, but not the last. As we enter a hallway, Lucas grabs my arm and points at a rope lying across the dirt.
As we carefully step over it and stick to the side of the hallway, up against the wall, I look up and see a nasty looking spiked log precariously balanced up in the ceiling.
Improvised though these traps may be...they're no less deadly for it.
