There you stood at the edge of the balcony of the imperial palace with a sword pointing to your throat. You stared back into the eyes of Izaek, the hero of this story. He is the main character, the crown prince of the Empire of Arcturia. You, the villainess.

Originally, you had died from a similar incident to this scene but, instead of a sword, it was a dagger that slit your throat. Before the Prince could kill you, time had been pulled back and you were instead brought into the body of the younger villainess. Back when she was nothing but a simple Lady, the daughter of the Duchess and Duke.

You stand on the guidelines of the ball that was being held. It was the ball in... chapter 10? You realized where you were while looking around, drowsiness growing as your vision was going in and out of blurs. Suddenly, a maid appears and lightly grabs your arm. "Is everything okay?" She asked. You looked back at her before nodding and excusing yourself.

You arrive to the stairs, rushing up them. They were in the direction of the room you were gifted for your stay. You made it to the top of the stairs, only to be stopped by the Crown Prince, Izaek.

Izaek looked down at you as he then grabbed your wrist and pulled you from the steps. He stepped back before looking back at you. "What're you doing?" He asked with a deep, gruff tone.
