"The rumors were true."
Her fiancé, who had become twisted in character at some point.
She had heard rumors that he suddenly started to change.
Rumors that he, who had only been lethargic, started exercising again.
And that even his strangely aggressive attitude toward people had disappeared.
And today, she met him suddenly to confirm it herself.
"He's definitely changed."
Everything about him had changed, including his eyes.
As if he had become a different person.
His eyes, which had always been downcast, now held an unknown power.
And he, who had always been quick to avoid her gaze, now began to look at her directly.
She confirmed with her own eyes that her fiancé, whom she had not been fond of, had changed.
Interesting.
Why did he suddenly change?
According to recent information, he apparently ran away from home not long ago.
Could his transformation have something to do with that incident?
"This could be fun."
What's certain is that she's developed a bit of interest in her fiancé, whom she had been indifferent to until now.
Looking forward to meeting him again at the academy.
She wore a small smile on her lips.

Time passed, and soon it was the day before the academy entrance ceremony.
During that time, I received swordsmanship training from Berno and reached a level where I could claim to know how to wield a sword.
Not enough to become a knight, but enough skill to survive at the academy.
And finally, I arrived in the capital a day before the entrance ceremony.
"Wow...."
As soon as I set foot in the capital, I couldn't help but be amazed.
Unlike the scenery of the capital I had only seen in webtoon, the capital I saw with my own eyes was splendid enough to surprise even me, who had lived in the 21st century.
Roads with a strong medieval European atmosphere.
And buildings with somehow familiar designs.
Having never really traveled in my previous life, all of these things appeared beautiful to me.
And soon I began to fantasize about this world.
If the imperial capital is like this.
How mysterious and fantastic must other places be?
The lush forests of the elven country.
Hidden scenic spots where human footsteps have not yet reached.
Possession.
Maybe it's not so bad?
The capital's scenery was so overwhelming that, for a brief moment, my resentment toward the author who possessed me disappeared.
If only it weren't for the academy, I'd want to run out right now.
But I have to do what needs to be done.
Since I'm headed to the academy anyway, I've made my own plan.
The plan is as follows:
To achieve pure love, I'll interfere with the events between the protagonist, Edmond, and the other heroines.
And the ultimate goal is to bring Elena and Edmond together.
"Perfect."
Having read the entire webtoon, I remember most of the events.
All the incidents that happen to the protagonist and how each heroine gets involved with him.
I want to see Elena's happy smile, which I never saw in the webtoon, with my own eyes.
So I'll thoroughly control Edmond from the start to keep him away from anything resembling a harem.
For me, a harem is unacceptable.
Only pure love matters.
I walked toward my destination with firm resolve.
And finally, I arrived at my destination.
[Fluffy Fluffy Dessert Shop]
A sign that's truly difficult for a man like me to approach.
But I really wanted to visit this place when I came to the capital.
Because.
"It's the shop Elena liked the most."
This was a place Elena habitually visited in the story.
Elena had a setting where she liked desserts.
And what she liked the most was.
A special pudding sold only at this shop.
I don't particularly like sweet things, but.
Somehow, I wanted to try it.
Yeah, since I've been possessed anyway, I should try most of the things that appeared in the webtoon.
With that courage, I entered the shop.
But contrary to my worries, I wasn't the only man in the shop.
Though most seemed to be couples.
However, as I was about to move to buy pudding, a voice that reached my ears made me stop in my tracks.
"This is so delicious!"
"Miss Elena really does like sweet things."
...Elena?
A name too familiar.
I turned my head as if entranced.
And then I could see her.
Brilliantly shining golden hair.
A woman happily smiling with pudding in her hand.
Elena.
The female protagonist of the webtoon was standing there.
All thoughts suddenly come to halt as I just stare at her.
Sparkling blue eyes.
Blonde hair braided to the side.
Everything matched Elena's appearance from the webtoon exactly.
Seeing her made it hit me even more clearly.
That I really had been reincarnated into a webtoon.
Yes, that's definitely what a female protagonist should look like.
Looking at her, I could easily understand why so many villains in the story followed Elena around claiming to like her.
After all, a face like that is its own justification.
She probably couldn't get a moment's peace anywhere.
She probably doesn't know.
Even before entering the academy, there were many advances directed at her.
Of course, until now, no one could easily approach her because of her doting father, Viscount Bellahart.
But at the academy, where noble influence is significantly reduced, problems will gradually begin to surface.
'The initial connection with the male lead happens because of one of those incidents anyway.'
The first meeting between the two—the most important scene where the webtoon truly begins.
The catalyst is him rescuing Elena from a predicament.
And afterward, their relationship gradually evolves into something like a romance.
So.
I plan to stay quiet and avoid contact with the protagonists as much as possible in the beginning.
Those two will connect automatically without me doing anything.
I can step in when I see signs of it turning into a harem. That won't be too late.
I shouldn't interfere unnecessarily and risk changing the future.
What I want to see is their love story that wasn't shown in the webtoon.
That's why I resolved to interfere with the protagonist's harem.
After staring at Elena as if entranced for a while, I came back to my senses when I noticed the sharp glare from the maid standing beside her.
Worried that I might leave a bad impression on Elena, I slipped out of the store almost like I was fleeing.
Breathing in the fresh air, I finally felt my mind clearing.
But I have this feeling I've forgotten something...
Ah, right.
I forgot to buy pudding.
