After being reincarnated as the 'villainess' from the otome game Fortune Lover, Katarina expected to meet doom in the form of one of many Catastrophic Bad Ends. She managed to avoid them all, but her engagement with Prince Jeord still looms over her head.
In this short story volume, a bitter rival appears to interfere with said engagement, and Nicol is looking for... a fiancée? And we learn trivia about Katarina's circle of friends, such as how they would choose to be reincarnated.
Sigh at Katarina's cluelessness in these stories that jump back into the past! More Katarina, more zany antics, more manga pages!

Chapter 1: A Rival Appears


After being confined to the countryside for so long, seeing the capital again, with its beautiful streets and its busy people, filled my heart with joy. As I returned, I was the happiest I had been in the past seven years. However, during the party that my friends had prepared to welcome me back, all of that joy was taken away and replaced with anger.

“How?! How doesthat girl still dare call herself Jeord’s fiancée?!” I shouted, slamming my hands on the table and making the tableware on it clatter. “He ought to have gotten rid of that worthless girl years ago!” I could feel the anger heating up my face.

“...That is what we were expecting, too...” muttered one of my friends.

“Then why?! Why are they still engaged?!” I asked her, bringing myself closer.

“We do not know, either... Rumor has it that Jeord himself refuses to cancel the engagement,” she replied while cowering ever so slightly.

“Jeord himself?! That cannot be true!” I shouted even louder. “Why would the prince wish for a fiancée likeher?!”

“That I do not know, but...” she said while retreating even more.

“...But? But what?!”

“Some say that he is adamant about making amends for the scar on her face...”

“The one that is supposedly the original reason for the engagement? I cannot believe that it has not healed after all these years!”

Seven years ago,that girl tripped in the castle’s garden, and the accident left a scar on her forehead. Jeord, who was accompanying her, took responsibility by choosing her as his fiancée.Jeord taking responsibility forher clumsiness!

“Knowing her, she is probably hiding the fact that her wound has healed to keep the prince in her clutches. Oh, my poor Jeord!” Just thinking of him being deceived by that harpy made my chest hurt.

Jeord Stuart... the king’s third son. The first time I met him, seeing his blue eyes, blonde hair, and handsome face, it was like seeing a prince from a fairy tale. I fell in love with him, and leveraged my father’s standing as marquess to have me considered as a potential bride. I would make himmy prince!
