Did I reincarnate as a villainess in an otome game?

Bonus Chapter + The Cursed Duke isn't Cursed!

"The weather sure is chilly today, huh?" Rachel said. James nodded.

"The Chilliness reminded me of your gaze, If you're cold come into my arms and I'll warm you up."

"..."

"..."

"Please respond,"

"..."

"U-um! We have been given an important task by the principal to introduce to you a latest book published and uploaded by the same author who--! Created us? Huh?" Syd announced to us.

"I'll first introduce you to the main characters!"

"Please introduce yourselves Uncle and Miss!" Syd said.

'Uncle?!'

"Hello~~" A woman in a maid outfit introduced herself. "I'm Clarice, I am a maid working from the Seibert Dukedom."

Her face remained nonchalant as she smiled.

"Miss you're eyes looked like that of a dead fish." Phil commented.

...Was that supposed to be a compliment?

A faint smile could be seen on Clarice's lips as her aura brightened up.

"T-thank you, I love fishes..." She said.

"...they taste good..." Clarice continued.

""...""

Ahem--!

"And the Uncle?" Syd said.

'U-uncle?!'

"You have poor manners, kid. I don't know why you're calling me uncle, I'm still in my 30's" He coughed and we all whispered.

""He's an uncle""

"His Grace is Acerid Seibert and the one I serve. Despite his young and pretty looks he's actually in his middle age already. You have good eyes kid." Clarice chirped in throwing Syd a thumbs up.

Flora approached Acerid with glee.

"Mister mister! Can I--"

In just one swoop Clarice managed to take Flora away from the duke. Her deep ruby eyes that showed a hint of bloodlust immediately returned back to it's normal nonchalant expression after she put Flora down.

"Please don't approach him that way Lady unless you want to get burned to crisps, would you want that?" She asked.

Flora quietly shook her head no and ran towards Rachel.

"Actually, My Grace has been cursed. Everything that comes into contact with him will burn so for your safety please remain a good distance from him." Clarice smiled.

"H-how do you even serve him if he has that curse?" Rosetta asked in shock.

"Hmm..."

Acerid approached Clarice and held her shoulders. "Like this, She doesn't get affected with my curse. Quiet peculiar no?"

""Oooooh~"" We all exclaimed.

"But if I touch anything like..."

Clarice held out a raw fish that she pulled out of her own picket and handed it to the duke.

The duke touched it's scale and it burned.

""Ooooh~"" We all clapped our hands in unison.

But how did Clarice pull out a fish from her pocket?

Clarice then stuffed her face with the burnt fish. "....it needs salt..." she commented.

The Cursed Duke isn't Cursed! or CDiC is my latest work and is already uploaded on this platform I do hope you would support it as much as you've shown support to this book!

I did try to use the idea of Reincarnation/Transmigration from the ideas you've commented for my new book but the more I wrote it I always forgot that she's from another world. It also doesn't connect her from the outside world and she also doesn't have lingering emotions from her past life so I thought that there's no use for it so I disregarded that thought.

In contrast to my previous novels that has a comedic tone and style, I'm attempting to focus on a dark theme this time. But I still want to add humor in it so idrk

I'll surely be missing Rachel's chaotic energy and the gangs but I already fell in love with Clarice's Personality U^U)>

I'm also considering making more cross-overs from my two books, if there are some who's interested in that but either way I'm still doing that for advertising purposes and publications! U^U)

CDiC Description:

From generation to generation, the Seibert Dukedom was famed for producing successors with natural talents, and this legend still lives on today.

However, it was rumored that the young duke of Seibert, Acerid, had been cursed at the age of 9.

All that he touched will instantly burn, as would everyone who comes in contact with him.

That is, until he encountered a young woman who had a strange and uncharacteristically nonchalant expression on her face.

Only she was immune to his curse.

A now duke who was robbed from his normal life due to his curse and a woman who was a war slave from the Seibert Dukedom's successful war.

But what seeks more from this lady who's immune to the curse?

And why is the Duke's face going crimson, you ask?

This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

Thank you for your continued support! It would mean a lot to me if you also read CDiC!
