Your Highness, May I Have a Word

I was supposed to be feared as a villainess—so why is my destined partner coming after me like this!?

Lucia de Calderone, a marquis’s daughter with an icy beauty, is dreaded by those around her as a ruthless villainess. After being branded incompetent during the Magical Appraisal Ceremony, she is abruptly and one-sidedly dumped by the Second Prince, Dino, who declares their engagement annulled.

But Lucia isn’t shaken in the slightest—because she’s confident she can turn the tables, even from such a hopeless disadvantage.

By her side stands a strikingly handsome young man watching her with clear amusement…!

He is Claude, a powerful noble from a neighboring kingdom whose influence even surpasses that of the Second Prince.

Realizing that Lucia is only pretending to be a villainess, Claude takes an immediate interest in her.

“What an interesting young lady! I like you.”

With that, he boldly closes the distance—fast!

But wait! I just want to solve the incident, that’s all!?

Despite her cool, unshakable exterior, Lucia has zero resistance when it comes to romance, leaving her completely flustered…!?

Thus begins a reversal romance fantasy of an ice-cold villainess, starting with a broken engagement!
