The Villainess Pushed Everything on the Mob Character

Side Story 2: Alicia's Remorse

"Sister, please stop this nonsense!"

It was the day after the kidnapping incident that Wilfred, my brother who was two years younger than me, begged me to stop.

My name is Alicia Nottenger.

I am the eldest daughter of a long-standing ducal family, with unfussy parents and a dependable younger brother.

With gorgeous strawberry-blonde hair and sapphire blue eyes, I was the first child of the Duke's family, and I was spoiled rotten.

When I was thirteen years old, I remembered my previous life. At a tea party hosted by the Queen, I was invited as the Crown Prince's unofficial fiancee. The moment I saw his beautiful golden hair, a huge amount of information surged into my head like a magical lightbulb.

I remembered a cute girl surrounded by handsome men was displayed on a screen and I thought in a stupor,

'Oh, this is an otome game...'

As soon as I thought that, I became overwhelmed and fainted.

My actions had been quick since I remembered my previous life.

After all I was Alicia Nottenger, the villainess in this otome game.

If the protagonist follows the Crown Prince's route or the Harem Route, I as a villainess will have my engagement broken off without question and punished to live in a monastery for the rest of my life.

I was reborn with a golden spoon in the Duchy, so I would hate living such a bitter life.

I must somehow avoid the position of the villainess no matter what.

So what made me a villainess?

The answer was simple: being the Crown Prince's fiancee and a hindrance to the heroine.

My situation was unreasonable, but fortunately, I have not yet decided to be his fiancee.

In other words, I can avoid my fate.

So I decided to take action immediately to avoid the monastery route.

The workaround was simple and sweet. In short, I should get excluded from the list of candidates for the Crown Prince's fiancée.

Fortunately, I just collapsed at a tea party, so I was able to leave for health reasons. My only concern was my parents who, puzzled by their daughter's unusual behavior, offered to refuse the Royal Family.

Thus, I was safely excluded as the Crown Prince's prospective fiancee and succeeded in avoiding being sent to the monastery.

Now that my problems were solved, I decided to try my hand at reincarnated isekai cliches.

Now that I've been reborn in a different world, there were so many things I wanted to try, like a cultural revolution that uses so-called cheat knowledge.

Since this was an otome game, I never felt any inconveniences, but it was still not enough when I thought about my life in modern Japan.

So I tried to develop businesses as much as I wanted using the knowledge I read in novels.

Salt, distilled liquor, yeast, soap, beauty treatments, etc.

I tried everything I thought of by imitating the main character of reincarnation novels. Every time I came up with an idea, my father was moved and people around me praised me. I was so happy with the compliments that I started businesses one after another.

However, the various things I tried after referring to those novels somehow didn't work out like they had.

Some businesses have done well at first; however, after a few months, everything went downhill fast. There were also a lot of projects that didn't go well from the start.
