The Villainess, Cecilia Silvy, Doesn't Want to Die, so She Decided to Crossdress-Chapter 1: There is a “Prince” at Wruhel Academy.
Chapter 1: There is a “Prince” at Wruhel Academy.
Blue eyes shining like sapphires and hair swaying as translucent gold threads.
Androgynous features with long and elegant limbs that captivate everyone.
He walks through the hallway with subtle footsteps, standing like an ephemeral white rose.
When a girl staggers in front of him, he quickly reaches out and whispers with a sweet facade and even sweeter voice.
“Are you injured, dear princess?”
At that moment, a shrill voice resounds out of nowhere.
The name of that “Prince” is Cecil Admina.
It’s the temporary disguise of the 17-year-old Duke’s daughter, Cecilia Silvy.
◆ ◇ ◆
“Hmm, why did it turn out this way …”
As Cecil, Cecilia sat in the greenhouse bench at the academy while looking up at the glass ceiling.
Her younger brother, Gilbert, sits next to her.
There is nobody else in the greenhouse located at the edge of the school building. For the “Priiiince!” as the female student yelled while she chased “him”, this was the only resting place in the academy.
“I just wanted to spend my school life quietly and inconspicuously, where did something like ‘prince’ come from?”
“That’s because sis is stupid.”
“Ugu!”
Cecilia’s chest is pierced by the sharp words ridiculing her.
Gilbert, who should have been bullied by Cecilia and was supposed to grow up into a gloomy and withdrawn young man, turned into a sly and cheeky youth 12 years later. It’s obviously because he was never bullied like in the original game, but even so, Cecilia still wishes that he could have been raised to act a little bit cuter.
Gilbert didn’t falter at all towards his stepsister’s glare and instead looked at him with an exasperated gaze.
“Even this morning, what is this ‘Are you injured, dear princess?’ How can you even spout these pretentious lines naturally like that?“
“It’s not like I want to…but I can’t let them find out that I’m actually a woman. Then, isn’t it better to be even manlier than a regular man!?”
"That’s supposed to be ‘manlier’…?”
“In my previous life, for an 18-year-old otome game specialist, this type is the best male character chosen by the majority of women!”
“…So that’s where it came from.”
Gilbert shot her down again.
In her previous life, Cecilia was Hiyono Kanzaki, a high school student who loved otome games.
She spent most of her pocket money on otome games, and if she didn’t have enough, she would find a part-time job just to save up money to buy it. Playing until the dark night sky faded into a bright new morning was a daily occurrence, and staying cooped up in her room during holidays and weekends was even more common.
She was involved in club activities and liked fashion like other girls, but if she had to point out her favourite hobby, it would undeniably be otome games. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄e𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺
"Wruhel Academy Saint Princess 3" is one of the games that Hiyono played in her past life.
“So, sis… are you really sure you’re going to be chosen as a Saint candidate? It’s true that the current Saint has maintained the position for a long time, and she’s starting to lose her power. But for sis to be chosen as a candidate for the Saint that represents the purest maiden… I don’t think it’s possible even if pigs learn how to fly… ”
“Eeeh, do you hate me that much, Gil?”
“Hmm, I really like you. I just thought it would be impossible for someone atrociously clumsy as sis to be appointed such an important role as the Saint.“
"Why is my own step brother’s opinion so harsh!!”
While Gilbert smiled, Cecilia covered her face with both hands.
As the name suggests, the game “Wruhel Academy Saint Princess 3” is the third game in the “Wruhel Academy Saint Princess” series.
In this world, there is a “Saint” that protects the people, and even the rulers of this country cannot ignore her remarks.
The rough outline of the game is that the protagonist Leanne Lazaroa and the Duke’s daughter Cecilia Silvy compete to become the next Saint at Wruhel Academy.
“I also don’t want to be chosen, it would be better if I could really avoid it…”
“Why do I feel like you think it’s too late already…?”
“The night before yesterday, a rosebud suddenly appeared in my chest.”
As he acknowledged what Cecilia just said, Gilbert leaked an “Oh …” while pulling on her cheeks.
It is said that certain characteristics will appear in people who have become candidates for the role of the Saint. One of them is a flower bud pattern.
The game begins with Leanne, the main character, finding a snowflake mark on the back of her hand. The next day, she will be told that she has been selected as a Saint candidate at the Wruhel Academy.
Today is probably the day Leanne arrives. And so, on the back of her hand, there should be a mark that appeared yesterday at night.
“Well, then it’s already confirmed that sis really is a Saint candidate.”
“That’s riiiight! So please follow along with my plan! I can only rely on Gil!
"Aaaah, I already know that! Stop trying to hug me!!”
Gilbert grabbed her head and stopped Cecilia, who still acted chummy like a small child. He was embarrassed and his eyes turned slightly red.
The ending for Cecilia Silvy, the rival of the main character, is miserable. Basically, in any route, she will die. It doesn’t change whether it’s a normal route, a love end, or a bad end. Only the way she dies changes.
That’s why Cecilia decided to become a man. Essentially, a man cannot become a Saint Princess, and by becoming a man, Cecilia can concentrate on being a mob character –although that doesn’t mean that she really wants to live as a man, she simply wanted to blend in as a common male student at the aristocratic school the game takes place in.
However, there was a limit to what Cecilia alone could do.
Preparing plans to attend school in advance, pretending to be sick to avoid social gatherings, helping with her father’s work, saving up money that can be used in emergencies, practicing to quickly bind and hide her unnecessarily big breasts, and secretly making a wig with her own hair…
In the twelve years since she regained her memory, she was able to prepare for it, but she couldn’t get the school male uniform without being suspicious or just as a temporary disguise.
So Cecilia asked her stepbrother Gilbert for help.
She couldn’t express how thankful she was for her brother. Not only that he didn’t laugh at her when she mentioned a “previous life” or “game”, but instead asked, “What should I do to help?“.
He has a sharp tongue, but he’s really a stepbrother who dearly cares about his sister.
After pushing back Cecilia who had hugged him, Gilbert coughed and adjusted his expression.
“Rather than that, today is the day. Leanne Lazaroa is coming.”
"That’s right. In the game, it was certainly said,‘One week after the entrance ceremony of the high school.’ If not today, maybe it might be about a day or two later.”
“Anyway, it’s better to go back to the classroom early. She’ll be moving into sis’ class. Shouldn’t you avoid being late and standing out?”
“Oh, yes, but soon …”
The moment Cecilia raises her face, broadcasts were made from speakers installed throughout the school. They asked all students to gather in the auditorium as soon as possible.
It’s rare to suddenly gather all students using the broadcasting system like this in a school that has a very well-planned schedule. Usually, it would be something scheduled on the previous day.
“Is this…the beginning?”
“Yeah, probably…”
Gilbert pats her shoulders to encourage Cecilia and pulls on her cheeks again from her pale face.
“Well, let’s go. Nothing will start if you keep hiding…”
“…You’re right.”
They got up from the bench and left the greenhouse.
One figure standing in the shadows stared at them.
“Fufufu, dear Gilbert…I’ve found you~”
A cute voice resounded and a fierce stare was fixated on their back.
The girl’s thin lips are happily curved, with a thick notebook and pen at hand.
“Oh, the day has finally come. I’ve been waiting for the longest time…“
She says that smug-like manner while hugging herself.
Her cheeks were tinted pink and her eyes were slightly moist, sparkling excitement.
Big pink eyes like rubies ??framed by long eyelashes with slightly curled pink hair.
A delicate body, that triggers men’s desire to protect, and small lips that are naturally reddish even without lipstick.
Her name is Leanne Lazaroa.
This is the heroine of the game "Wruhel Academy Saint Princess 3”.
