Volume 1 Chapter 62-2 Mother, The One Who Was Trying To Resist Fate
However, Leve's parents would reign as the most fitting couple in the academy, and Rudger's mother was taken by Rudger's father as if abducted, despite my attempts to hold her back.
In short, I'm trapped.
Fate is cruel.
'Isn't this ridiculous... in most novels, the reincarnated villainess easily avoids flags and escapes unscathed...'
I murmured in a voice too quiet for anyone to hear.
However, I thought.
Would the day come when the game I was obsessed with unfolded before my eyes rather than on a screen?
At that moment, I honestly felt excited.
Because living in the same world as my favorites is simply something to be happy about.
If I weren't the mother of a rival character, but just a mob, I could have been more straightforwardly happy, I thought many times.
Thus, unable to resist fate, I gave birth to Elena.
It seems that both Leve and Rudger were also born.
I was both anxious and thrilled as the actors steadily gathered, but the moment I held my child, Elena, my excitement turned to anxiety.
Only I can protect this child, yet I couldn't prevent anything.
In my desperation, I thought.
I've read many stories where the reincarnated villainess elegantly avoids flags.
So, this child should be able to avoid flags too, I believed.
But I couldn't avoid a single one, nor could I resist fate.
Elena might also not be able to avoid them, and there's a possibility she can't resist fate either.
So, all I can do is nurture a heart that won't be hurt if she can't avoid them.
If I know what will happen in my future, perhaps I won't be hurt as much even if a shock strikes.
Thinking this, I began to narrate the game's content to newborn Elena.
'Elena, you are the cruel rival character in an otome game.'
If she can't avoid the flags, she'll just shatter her.
If she can't resist fate, then she'll charge straight through it.
I will raise a villainess who won't be defeated by sadness, a villainess who can sail through rough waters, with all my effort.
Is that okay?
I don't know.
It was around the time when we started weaning that I realized my child, Elena, was very clever.
I had been endlessly talking about games as usual, but Elena had started to quietly look away whenever I spoke in Japanese.
At first, I thought it was just a coincidence, but as she grew, it became clear she was pretending not to listen.
I thought to myself that this child surely understood my words.
I tried to instill a sense of caution in Elena by talking about how villains never find love and how falling in love could lead to a tragic fate.
I don't know if it worked, but it seemed Elena never fell for any of the target characters.
However, perhaps due to fate, she had become acquainted with all the target characters, including the hidden ones.
Honestly, I felt a bit anxious.
In the end, Elena reached the ending of the Level route.
Although the wording was the same as the ending scenario, I couldn't see any deep wounds in Elena, so I might have managed to protect her heart...
I hope I did.
She probably thought I was a creepy mother.
When I murmured how glad I was to see the ending, Elena's face looked rather strained.
Now, once the ending is over, Elena will no longer be a villain or anything.
I just need to wish for Elena's happiness.
After all, a proposal has come in that guarantees Elena's happiness.
One day, while I was feeling relieved,
Elena's attendant, Rolus, came to my room.
Sir Oscar had suddenly brought Elena's attendant.
He shouldn't have been in the game, so I thought he would somehow disappear at the start, but it turns out he had been here all along.
His complexion was so poor that I wondered if he was unwell, and then he murmured in a small voice.
"Please let me quit being an attendant."
He said.
Why would he say that to me?
He hadn't really spoken much until now?
"If you really want to quit, I think it's fine if you do."
But, Elena and this child should have been close.
Elena always took this child around.
"I am not suited to be a Lady's Attendant."
"Huh?"
Oops?
Could this be?
"I..., I don't have confidence to stay here."
"You can't be serious, ah, never mind. Understood. You, leave this house."
When I said that, the child furrowed their brow sadly.
I see, this could get interesting.
"But since you are quitting suddenly, could you at least listen to me a little?"
"Yes."
Since Elena is no longer the villainess, she will surely find happiness from here on.
Looking at the face of this Attendant, I thought so.
