Chapter 1
A fake can never become real.
No matter how much you try to make it look real on the outside, it will always be fake on the inside. So it can never become real.
Charlotte Levesque thought this as she looked at the empty room of the heroine in this dark reverse harem game, biting her fingernail.
White curtains fluttered on both sides. On such a beautiful day, the female protagonist had disappeared. She had escaped through the window, leaving no trace behind.
Charlotte Levesque was the eldest daughter of the Levesque Ducal family. But she was a fake sister. In other words, she was like a doll belonging to the late Duchess Levesque.
The Duchess had once visited an orphanage and, upon seeing Charlotte, insisted that she was “hers,” and forced the Duke to adopt her. That was how Charlotte became part of the family.
A foreign object.
That one word described Charlotte perfectly.
The Levesque Ducal family was a prestigious house. Normally, someone without noble blood could never be adopted into it. But Charlotte became the first exception, and she lived like an unwanted duck among swans.
But honestly, Charlotte was more shocked by the fact that she had become “Charlotte” herself than by the fact that her younger sister had run away.
This was the villainess older sister in the reverse harem game
《Please Let Me Go》—the only antagonist in the story.
She was the villain who caused trouble for the selfish heroine.
“…This is ridiculous.”
Charlotte looked at her unfamiliar face in the mirror hanging in the heroine’s room.
Golden eyes. And black hair that didn’t suit them at all.
A simple light-blue dress swayed gently in the wind coming from the open window, like waves on the sea.
On a wooden round table, there was an old piece of paper.
Charlotte walked over and picked it up.
“It said: ‘Sorry.’”
Just one short, cold sentence.
Her hands tightened, and the letter was crumpled beyond recognition.
“Why did I have to possess this body at this exact time?”
At the moment the heroine ran away.
And of all people, she became the only villain in this reverse harem game.
Charlotte felt dizzy.
She clearly remembered playing this game, finishing the ending, and falling asleep.
But when she woke up, her black hair was the same—but her eyes had turned golden like melted gold.
Even worse, instead of her cheap rented room, she had woken up in a luxurious old-fashioned bedroom.
Charlotte swallowed hard.
When the heroine returns, the villainess gets killed by the male leads.
She must leave before the heroine comes back.
She must escape somewhere no one knows and survive.
While she was thinking, she suddenly heard footsteps in the hallway.
Step. Step.
The dull sound made Charlotte freeze.
“…Why are you in this room, Charlotte?”
A man grabbed her shoulder tightly and turned her around.
Her black hair swayed in the air as she turned. The man looked down at her with purple eyes.
“Why are you in Tia’s room?”
He was the eldest son of the Levesque family. A handsome man with silver hair and violet-like eyes.
When he saw her emotionless face, his expression twisted.
He looked at the letter in her hand and quickly snatched it.
“…Tia ran away?”
He looked out the window, then laughed in disbelief.
The sweet younger sister who smiled and said she loved her brother… had disappeared.
Then anger filled his eyes.
“You. Are you happy that Tia is gone?”
Charlotte stayed silent.
Her silence made him more furious. He tore the letter and grabbed her collar.
“Ever since you came, nothing but misfortune has happened to this family. Now even Tia ran away. How will you take responsibility?”
Charlotte calmly replied:
“I will leave.”
“…What?”
“I will leave this family.”
This was her first rebellion.
The original villainess in the game had a simple role—
She grew jealous of the heroine and bullied her, even hitting the male leads who loved her.
Charlotte thought coldly:
At this point, she might already have been slapped twice by those male leads.
She sighed internally and looked at the man holding her collar.
She knew him well. He was Eugene, the eldest son. A man who would go crazy over Tia.
Of course, the other male leads were even worse.
Charlotte said:
“Brother Eugene, I don’t want to stay in this family. After I was adopted, Mother and Father suddenly died. And your beloved youngest sister ran away. So I will leave too.”
Her voice was beautiful, but cold and emotionless.
She removed his hand from her collar and walked past him.
As if she were a stranger.
On the way out, she briefly smiled—but lowered her lips again when she saw the servants.
‘The male leads are useless. The older brothers are also useless. Is there anyone who can help me escape?’
She looked around the cold mansion and walked away.
Later
Charlotte found her room and sat down.
She found blank paper in a drawer and sat in a chair.
“I don’t even remember all the names properly…”
She decided to write down the male leads first.
She wrote:
- Johan Titaeus
- Harrison Lise Ibikni
- Ruya
- Judeon Elliot
Then she wrote the brothers:
- Eugene Levesque
- Jeremy Levesque
She looked at the list with a hopeless expression… then tore the paper into pieces.
“They would never help me escape. They would probably torture or kill me instead.”
Her head hurt.
Then—
Knock, knock.
“Miss, I brought your meal.”
“Come in.”
A maid entered with a tray. She had brown hair tied in pigtails and freckled cheeks.
On the tray was thin porridge and a spoon.
The maid placed it on the desk carefully.
“I heard you weren’t feeling well, so I prepared porridge…”
She spoke nervously and lowered her head.
