One moment a high school girl could be seen chasing after an adorable white bunny on school grounds, and the next second she was falling down a large rabbit hole, a terrifying scream ripping from the girl's throat as everything around her turned into a sparkling galaxy full of color as if she was soaring through space.
"Wait a minute...! What on Earth is going on?!" screamed the girl, who was suddenly engulfed in a bright, blinding light before everything went dark. In the darkness of her subconscious, the girl heard voices calling out to her, voices that for some reason felt familiar to her despite this being her first time hearing them.
Heavy eyelids opened themselves only to see a cute boy, between the ages of nine and ten, standing next to her bed, holding her hand. Seeing this unfamiliar face, the girl on the bed thought to herself,
'Who's this cute boy? ...And why does he seem so familiar to me?'
"I can't believe that tyrant actually pushed you into the lake! If you weren't saved in time, you could've drowned!" ranted the teary-eyed boy, who was obviously upset about something. Deciding to sit herself up, the girl did just that, only to feel that there was something different about her body. Looking down at her hands she noticed that they were smaller, not only that, but her body also felt as if it had shrunk.
Instantly the girl threw the covers off her body and ran to the nearest full-length mirror in the room. Her actions shocked those who were present, and they worriedly raced to her side. "Sister, what's wrong? Are you hurt?" fretfully asked the boy, but the girl paid him no mind, too stunned to even notice his concern.
In the reflection of the pearl-encrusted pink mirror stood a girl between the ages of five and six. Soft cinnamon brown tresses touched her waist. Eyes, the color of emeralds, displayed incredulity at the new situation she had just found herself in.
'Oh my god...' were the first words to enter the girl's head as her face blanched, raising a shaky pair of hands, cupping her chubby cheeks. 'I actually transmigrated into another world! So cliché!' she exclaimed before promptly passing out on the floor, causing all those in the room to panic once again.
After some time had passed in the subconscious of her mind, the girl heard a voice calling out her name. "...aria... Maria... Maria!"
Once again, large emerald eyes revealed themselves, something which brought relief to those in the room. Rushing to the bed where the girl lied was the same boy from last time and the girl noted that unlike herself, this boy had dark blonde hair but shared her emerald eyes.
Her eyes lingered on the boy for a few seconds when suddenly memories began filling her head, memories that most likely belonged to the original host of this body. The memory that stuck out the most was that of a girl, the same one whose reflection she saw in the mirror, attending a party and pestering another smaller boy who the original host seemed to be infatuated with.
It seemed the boy in her memories got fed up with the girl constantly pestering and rashly pushed her into the lake nearby. The poor girl would have drowned if she wasn't saved in time. 'That jerk!' frowned the girl on the bed. Seeing such an expression on his cute little sister's face, the boy once again reached for his sister's hands.
"Don't worry, Maria, your big brother will make that crown prince pay for hurting you!" vowed the brave boy, who was clearly upset that someone dared harm his precious little sister. Despite hearing such brave words, Maria almost fell out of her bed in shock to hear that the person from the memories she received was actually a crown prince?!
'Stay calm! At least you're not dead,' Maria constantly told herself, placing a fake smile on her face, grateful that this host had such a caring big brother.
"Thank-you, big-brother, but there is no need to take revenge for me. It's best that we just forget about this situation. Besides, I was the one at fault." The girl on the bed smiled, unaware of how her reply shocked those in the room.
'Besides, it was the original host's fault for pestering a freaking crown prince! Jeez, that spoiled little girl reminds me of that annoying ojou-sama character from that reverse harem light novel I didn't get to finish reading.' Maira grumbled as her mind recalled a character from a popular reverse harem light-novel she was in the middle of reading before she got transported into this world.
The name of the light novel was called A Fairytale Romance, set in a fantasy magical world, where those who have magic and nobility were sent to a well-renowned and prestigious school that taught students how to hone their magic and become outstanding individuals. The plot started off with the heroine, the daughter of a baron, entering the middle school division of Diamond Academy.
In the beginning, the heroine was registered as a light magic user and was hinted to be a member of some type of rare ancient race. Of course, the story wouldn't be a reverse harem without extremely attractive guys who all fell in love with the heroine. Upon entering the school, the heroine encountered the male lead for the first time in a very cliché scene, creating a budding affection that slowly bloomed into romance.
Along the way, the crown prince wasn't the only one to fall in love with the heroine; there were three others who fell under her charm. Besides the crown prince, the three other male characters came from influential noble families and were always lending a hand to the female lead whenever she was caught in trouble created by the long list of female villainesses who despised her.
"It seems ojou-sama no longer has a fever."
Maria was brought out of her thoughts when she felt a hand touch her forehead. Looking at who that hand belonged to, she saw a pretty girl in a short maid’s dress with short black hair, but what caught her by surprise was the matching cat ears that stood on top of the girl's head.
"To be on the safe side, ojou-sama should try some of the medicine that the house doctor prescribed for her."
Standing on the opposite side of her bed, holding two blue tablets in the palm of her hand, was another pretty maid, yet this one had long white hair with matching cat ears on top of her head. Looking at the two maids, Maria was once again reminded of that same ojou-sama character from A Fairytale Romance.In the novel, there was a long list of villainous characters who tried to compete with the heroine to win the male lead's love. Yet there was one villainess that stood out and it wasn't because she was ruthless and vicious, but because she was an idiot, a comic relief character rather than an actual villain.
Always at her side were two neko-maids, who would comfort her when one of her plans either backfired or caused the male lead to become angry with her. After taking the pills, Maria searched the room and realized how big it was, filled with nice girly pink furniture. Even the four-poster pink European bed she was lying on was huge. It was the type of room that belonged to a rich noble daughter who hailed from the upper-class of society.'Seems I transmigrated into a rich girl,' Maria told herself when once again the door to her room slammed open. Bursting into the room was a gorgeous busty beauty, who dashed over to the bed and engulfed her small body in a tight warm hug.
"My darling little Maria! Are you okay? Don't worry, mommy will watch over you and make sure you get better!" tearfully proclaimed the gorgeous woman, who had long wavy cinnamon brown-hair that went past her waist and bright emerald eyes.
In the midst of her mind, Maria couldn't help but think, 'Wow, okaa-sama is a big oppai type character!'
"Don't worry, my darling little Maria. Mommy and Daddy will get you justice! Tonight that crown prince went too far. How dare he do that to my daughter! You could've lost your life!" fussed her angry mother, whose emerald eyes screamed vengeance.
Smiling softly, Maria placed her hands on top of her mother's and said, "Mother, please calm down. It was me who was at fault. I kept pestering the crown prince even though he doesn't like me. So it makes sense that he would get mad. Both of us are at fault, so let's just drop this matter. I do not wish to bring harm to anyone."
Once again, those in the room found themselves shocked, usually, their young lady would be bawling tears or throwing a tantrum. Meanwhile in the mind of Maria, she thought, 'The dude already hates me. Don't make it worse by trying to get revenge. I want to live peacefully in this world before I can find out how to get back home. Please, mom and big-bro don't make it hard on me.'
Both mother and son couldn't help but stare at the young girl on the bed, before sharing a look with each other, reaching some sort of understanding as they looked towards her again. "Okay, if you don't want this matter brought up again then we won't bring it up." Her mother ran a reassuring hand through her daughter's cinnamon-brown tresses.
"You must not want to make things hard on yourself before entering the Elementary School Division at Diamond Academy. With the crown prince's attitude and reputation, he would no doubt try and bully you if we pressed harder on this matter. Don't worry, my little cub, Mommy will go talk to Daddy."
Her mother smiled and kissed her forehead before leaving the room. 'W-Wait a minute, did she just say Diamond Academy? No way, I must be hearing things.' Maria tried to reassure herself that she heard wrong, only to have her brother speak up and crush all her hopes.
"Don't worry, lil sis, your big brother will definitely protect you. I won't let anyone at Diamond Academy bully you." Her brother's smile was truly charming and could probably attract many noble girls and women, despite his young age. Yet Maria paid no mind, seeing how she was in the middle of a mental breakdown.
'Diamond Academy! The same name of the academy in the light-novel, A Fairytale Romance...?!' Ignoring the two maids and her brother who were in the room, Maria buried her face in her hands and wanted to cry and scream.
'Crap. I got transmigrated into A Fairytale Romance... as the comic relief female villain. Life, you are too cruel!' mentally wept Maria.
After hearing her big brother speak of Diamond Academy, the next day Maria laid on her bed depressed, confirming with herself that she had somehow transmigrated into the reverse harem light-novel, A Fairytale Romance. Once that was out of the way, it only took connecting the dots to figure out which character her soul transmigrated into, which was that of the comic-relief female villain, Maria Rosendrey.'At least my first name is still the same, but usually, when stuff like this happens, the soul is transmigrated into the main villainous boss, not a sub-villain, who no one in the series took seriously!'A pair of emerald eyes dejectedly stared up at the ceiling of her pink four-poster bed as she reflected back on the story. In the light-novel, there was a character named Maria Rosendrey, a spoiled and bratty noble girl, who was so deeply obsessed with the male lead, a.k.a the crown prince, that despite how many cruel words he
"The archduchess does not deserve to die!" shouted Maria, once again having another discussion with the two fragments of her inner consciousness, Light Maria and Dark Maria."Such a nice woman definitely does not deserve to die." Light Maria sagely nodded her head in agreement."Saying that she's a nice woman is not going to help us. I mean, how did she die in the novel?" questioned Dark Maria, who was floating in the air, eating a hamburger for some reason."Hmm, if I recall correctly, both the archduke and archduchess publically died in a tragic fire that randomly broke out in the manor, but we later found out that the archduchess died from poison first before the fire started." Maria was decked out in her Sherlock Holmes costume, recalling how the story mentioned that during the middle of a tea-party, hosted by the archduchess, a fire randomly broke out and ruined the event.The archduke who was returning h
The next day Kuroka and Shirone found their young miss in the garden, crouching down on her knees, plucking flowers with a dark cloud hovering above her head as they heard her murmur, "I'm screwed. I'm screwed." She kept repeating those words, causing both maids to become worried."Ojou-sama has been like this since this morning. Even during breakfast, which made the madam burst into tears," whispered Kuroka, recalling when the countess rushed over to her daughter, tears bursting from her eyes, engulfing her daughter in a hug."Not good, we must cheer-up ojou-sama." Shirone's face grew serious as if this was a grave emergency. Meanwhile, Maria was unaware of everyone's concern for her wellbeing as she sighed and pointed her big emerald eyes towards the clear blue sky.'Is there really no other way I can save the archduchess?' contemplated Maria."Ojou-sama, how about you try some dessert to cheer you
Lying down defeated on the couch, Maria tried to resist the urge to cry or bang her head against the wall. Why was she upset? It was because tomorrow was the archduchess's tea party, having remembered earlier today about her agenda for saving the woman's life. "I suck as a hero," muttered Maria when a presence entered the room."Something on your mind, Maria?" Sitting up, Maria saw the one who entered the living room was none other than her big brother."Just deciding on what dress I should wear to the archduchess's tea party tomorrow," she lied, seeing how she just couldn't confess out of the blue about how the archduchess and her family's lives were in great danger if something was not done."Hmm, is that so." He took a seat next to her and pressed the top of a decorative glass vase that displayed a blue crystal butterfly inside. Once activated, a large holographic screen appeared, showing what looked to
Upon opening her eyes, Maria was met with the familiar sight of her white bedroom ceiling; slowly sitting up, she saw both Kuroka and Shirone cleaning and straightening up things in her room. Blinking her eyes sleepy, both maids must have sensed that she was up as they quickly turned their attention towards her and almost cried tears of joy upon seeing her awake."Ojou-sama, you finally opened your eyes!" cried Kuroka, running over to Maria first."I'm so happy to see you up, ojou-sama! I'm ashamed of my lack of ability for not being able to protect you properly!" Shirone had her head down, angry with herself for allowing her young miss to become injured."Protect me?" Maria muttered, confused, only to remember the whole situation that happened at the archduchess's tea party before she had gotten injured and blacked out."That's right! I had gotten hurt! Shirone, how long have I been ou
Maria found herself escorted out of the carriage by her brother, silk white-gloved hands nervously clutching the pink fabric of her dress. Just like her mother stated, the dress was truly top-quality, trimmed in pearl pink tulle, pearls and gold ornate designs decorating the chest and bottom portion as the sleeves hung an inch off her shoulders. A pink silk choker adorned with a diamond heart was worn around her neck. Shirone styled her hair in a nice elegant bun with a few loose curls framing her face.Thanking her brother for his assistance, Maria pointed her emerald eyes to the massive and beautiful alabaster castle-like building with gold rooftops. Stained glass windows were scattered through the high towers and walls. Riding up to the front gate were a number of high-class carriages, and escorted off these carriages were noble children of all ages, who, from what Maria had seen so far, all walked with their heads held high, posture perfect wit
Maria's good mood from before instantly disappeared once she took in the appearance of the boy who appeared from out of the shadows and before her. He was cute, with a touch of handsomeness where you could tell that he was definitely going to grow up and be a very attractive man in the future. Then again, one should expect nothing less from the male lead from the light-novel A Fairytale Romance and crown prince of Astral.Even though he was the male lead in a shoujo romance genre novel, without the heroine, Maria could’ve easily mistaken him for a shounen male harem protagonist due to the number of girls that ridiculously fell for him. The temperature outside felt warm. A light
"I'll ask again, what is your relationship with Richard-sama?" demanded the icy Beauty of Winter, glaring those icy-blue colored eyes straight at Maria, who was suddenly reminded about something. In the novel, it was hinted that before Eira fell for the crown-prince she once had feelings for someone else.'So that someone else must've been Richard-sama. Unlike the other love rivals, Eira didn't immediately fall for the crown-prince, but gradually grew feelings for him throughout the years, since her first crush, Richard-sama, was out of the picture, but now the plot of the story has changed.' Maria sighed to herself; she could smell the trouble that was brewing and she knew there was no way for her to escape it."What exactly is going on out here?" questioned a familiar voice as everyone turned towards the direction the voice came from. Both Maria and Mai were taken by surprise, yet very happy to see their respective s
