In the middle of the game, there was an event. The birthday of the crown prince. On that day every noble was invited. Even the heroine, Clara Blestler, attended the grand event. But when she was encountered Alicia, she was humiliated in front entire high society. Seeing the heroine in such shameful situation, all the male leads teamed up and went against the villainess.
Even then the kind heroine came to rescue the villainess. As Alicia stood shocked by the reaction of all the male leads, unable to except that they went against her for the sake of the heroine, she slipped from the balcony and fell. And since heroine was closer to her, every one thought that she pushed Alicia.
Alicia fell into coma. Her angry family, banished heroine from the high society and threw her out of the capital. Even though heroine apologized, and tried to prove her innocence, she was still blamed of the crime she never committed. Then the story took a leap of two years, when heroine becomes a pharmacist. She cures the daughter of the southern duke, Julianna Jackfrow and becomes good friend with her.
Under the power of the southern duchy, she successfully again enters the high society and again confronts all the male leads. They again start their romances but even now she is challenged by the Alicia. But this time, with the help of the male leads and her best friend, Julianna, she defeats the villainess, meanwhile, even winning hearts of people.
In different routes, Alicia meets with different end. Being banished from the high society, exiled from the kingdom, killed by the male leads, guillotined for treason, suicide by drinking poison, hanging herself to death, becoming alcohol addict, becoming mentally insane, etc, etc.
All lead to her doom.
As she remembered the contents of the game, Alice's hand moved. She wrote all the contents on a paper and sighed.
As she remembered different ends of the Alicia, she came to a conclusion. Alicia ended in that way because of her choices. But since she became that Alicia, she can change that fate if she chooses different choices. Thinking in that way she wrote:
To-do list:
1. Stay away from all the male leads.
2. Do not create troubles for the female lead.
3. Stay low.
4. If possible, try to gain favors of the main characters.
As she looked at the list, she felt satisfied. If she follows the above rules, then she can survive peacefully in this world. Looking at the current scenario, she is now the fifteen-year-old Alicia, who falls into coma on the crown prince's birthday avenue. And now the story will take a leap of two years. Then she still has two years to prepare.
As she calculated the time and situation, she suddenly heard the knock on the door. Startled, she immediately hid those papers under the pillow and lied down.
"Yes, come in" she said.
The door opened and a beautiful lady with blonde hair entered the room. She smiled at her and walked towards her saying, "Alice."
"Mother" Alice called her.
The duchess sat on the bed beside her and touched her face warmly with worried eyes.
"Alice, are you alright? Do you feel pain anywhere?" she asked.
"No, mother" Alice said with a smile.
All the bandages on her neck and elbow were already removed. Only the bandage around her head remained. But even that wound is mostly cured.
The duchess suddenly hugged her and said, "Alice, if you have any problem, remember to tell me first. Your mother will understand everything. And if you by chance remember something from the past, mother will be the happiest person."
"I understand mother" she said.
If she remembered correctly, the duchess is actually the step mother of Alicia. She was shown as the evil lady who controlled Alicia and asked her to do evil deeds. On her brother's route, it was clearly shown how much the original Alicia liked her step mother.
It felt like it was the Duchess Etkinson who turned Alicia into a villainess.
