Chapter 1

"Yuk!"

My chest tickled, and coughed out. I feel dizzy.

I'm destined.

This was my first thought since I was possessed into a novel.

'I have to play this role ...'

I played the role of 'Laria Rose Rossry' in the novel, Empire's Greatest Deal.』

She had pink hair, sparkling purple eyes, and plain features.

He was a bit short, but his round eyes and gentle expression made him look like a puppy.

What I like is the look.

I am a supporting character who has a time limit and will die at twenty-one.

"I died at the age of twenty-one in my previous life, and I will be cursed again here when I am twenty-one."'

"Yuk!"

I had to cover my mouth with a towel because I coughed up blood.

“What the hell, so I'm the only one left to do the Rostry job?”

I was fourteen years old, and at this time, I attended the funeral of Count Rossry and his wife, who called my parents.

After possessing this body, memories from the past naturally flooded my head.

His father, a hard worker, and his mother had a lot of debt due to his lavish spending, died in a car accident, leaving only a very large debt for me.

“Did he not have any money in County? I have to find him!”

I have never lived in Rosty County.

My parents were the worst, and the house was always noisy. My father sent me to the East to study abroad because I was stubborn.

"It's a funeral, but where do all my relatives go?"

"My money! Only this ugly little girl gets all her money?”

I was mobbed by debtors at the cemetery where all my relatives and friends were absent.

I kept glancing at the entrance, spilling the debtor's words. Because right now, there are people who are really going to burn me.

In the original book, Laria did not know she had a time limit until the day she died, and only two people in the world knew that.

One of them was my mother, Count Rossi's wife, and the other one was…

"Huh? That, she...?”

“Why is the Duke of Acard here.?”.

There he saw a man with a tall silhouette, black hair, and terrifying red eyes walking in disarray.

'The street of criminals is cool ...'

Just walking quietly is enough. His presence was unbearable.

"Duke of Acard."

Duke of Karoudin, Ivan Acard.

He lived a quiet life with his own honor but suddenly became very angry after his wife died.

He was also the villain in the original book, who had no choice but to control the nobles and the Imperial family.

Although he did not yet possess overwhelming power due to his late entry into politics. He worked hard in the background and eventually became the leader of the nobility a few years later.

"She even managed to marry him."

Of course, he thought he would obtain the nobles and the Imperial family and achieve the goal he wanted …

As the heroine, Princess Elaine, falls in love with the male lead and not her son, her dreams become meaningless.

'Never mentioned in the original book what his greatest purpose was ...'

The author said he would solve the foreign currency exchange problem, but I did not get the chance to read the end, before being possessed into this body.

With his presence, the noisy cemetery became silent for an instant.

The debtors chatted and immediately lined up nicely in front of the Duke of Acard.

'This is the power of money and authority!'

I was gobsmacked again.

'My role is not to be a villain, but it's so cool .. I wish I was a criminal too.'

Not everyone can play the role of a criminal. If he claimed to be a criminal with no successor, then he was just a delusional man in the room.

Then, the Duke of Acard came before me without hesitation. Then asked in a gloomy voice.

"Do you have a place to go?"

All my relatives did not come to the funeral, leaving me in charge. The county has been pawned and handed over, and all the maids have fled.

"I-I don't have .. cough!"

His eyes narrowed as I coughed.

I already know what he's gonna say.

"Then will you be my daughter, Evan's wife?"

This is a very surprising development, even though I knew this was going to happen. It was surprising that he came to see me so suddenly.

So he proposed early marriage among the political expeditions of the nobility.

Early marriage was not a rare thing in noble society. By convention, a small child of my age cannot stay in a noble family for long, as taking a small child and being responsible will require family members to grant him the right to inheritance.

“Matilda is very close to your mother.”

'Mattva ...'

It was the name of this Duchess of Acard, who died while giving birth to her son.

“If Matilda was still alive, she would have wanted to take you. That's why I came to pick you up.”

'Lying.'

The Duke of Acard was a man who was only interested in power. There was no way he would accept me for such empathetic reasons.

According to the original book, she happened to know of my illness and was trying to get me to marry her son to take advantage of my scheduled death.

'I know how the original story flows! I'm aware of all the dark events that are about to happen, and I know very well your ulterior motives…'

"I'll pay all your parents' debts and promise you a decent life."

“I look forward to your kindness, Father.”

I answered quickly.

I am that 'person. Although, knowing how it went in the original story, I still did not try to change the ending of the story.

Wouldn't it be better to die early, while living luxuriously like the original version, than to die in the middle of a debtor?

"…Dad?"

The Duchess of Acard's eyes looked at me with a sharp look.

A small supporting actor like me is afraid to stand in front of such a big villain.

I answered in a intimidating way.

“Sorry, I'm sorry. I think now we are family..”.

There was a moment of silence.

"Yes, right."

He said in a low and cold voice that made everyone nervous.

"Let's go."

That's how I followed Duke Acard.

On his way to the duchy, Duke Acard stopped at the Imperial Palace to hand over our marriage statement. And with that one document, my name is Laria Rose Acard.

'As expected—No wedding or anything.'

My husband, Evan, who is a year younger than me, is in the academy, so I can't even see him.

Evan had a small role in "The Empire's Greatest Deal," there were only a few lines to describe it. His role was so small that he could not be called the male lead.

And I am the ex-wife of that supporting character.

“In the capacity of my soul, I should have taken the role of a villain character.but I instead got this body.”

With my bad luck, criminals lose talent like me.

Usually, criminals will have a lot of money. The reason is that even bad things can happen to people who have money. But nothing can be done about a supporting role without money, a healthy body, or significant characteristics.

'I should have a rich and powerful villain.'

I was immediately assigned a large room with a servant in the duchy.

Unfortunately for me, who was about to die, the original flow was the best route.

Of course, it's not that I don't know the cure.

'The fruit of the Oclasia tree.'

I have a five-year-old brother, Fred.

She has the same pink hair and purple eyes as me. Although he is now far away, studying abroad in the Eastern Land, where the exchange has been blocked for many years due to which habitat.

He only returned after I died, where there was a scene of him crying in front of my grave, muttering his medicine.

“Barbar lung disease is a common disease in the East.It can be cured if you eat ten oaks daily for five years.”.

So my illness is classified as incurable in the Empire because they do not know how to treat it.

This is possible because it is already a disease originating from the East.

However, the question is…

Oclasia trees are very rare. And even if the fruit is strabismus, it is difficult to preserve it.

'It's even harder to find

It is difficult to get Ocrasia fruit from the market because it will fall from the tree in an instant.

'It doesn't matter if you get one or two .. it's impossible to get ten of them consistently.'

I've practically completed my plan.

It is the best end to die after sitting comfortably in someone else's home.

'Let's aim for the next life. You can do it better. Please, rich criminals, please…'

But what changed my mind was when I was walking alone in the greenhouse near the room I was provided for.

'Oh? This is…?'

I stopped walking.

Duke's guest room has many Ocrasia trees planted. I can't believe if it's reality or illusion.

“Hey, does this make sense? Are these fans of ownership? ”

It was as if someone had arranged it.

Is it a sign of God for me to live, or is it a gift from Satan to comfort?

I'm not sure if the author was joking with me by putting the cure right in front of me.

“Thank you for the food.”

If this is not a joke, it is the most appreciated and friendly gift I have ever received.

Whether it was the God of Trance or the devil in the original story, I took a moment to put my hands together and pray to express my gratitude.

"Even so…"

Still, it was a mistake to see me as an easy-to-eat person in a situation like this.

"You can't eat everything, just because you're dying."

I am an easy child, but I carefully plucked ten ripe fruits from the tree.

"Now."

This plump fruit is only as big as a thumb, so it only takes one bite, but it is very soft.

I thought with shining eyes.

'good. Let's live longer than twenty-one!'
