Reincarnated in an Otome game as background ugly character!!

Side Story – Lily Route

The protagonist Lily, an ordinary girl of commoner origin.

She was born with the magical attribute of light, to be exact of the healing type.

In that world healing magic was necessary but not very important.

So it was until Lily heard the voice of the goddess Alexia and became a saint, an existence blessed by the goddess.

As a girl with no high education or prestige, she was recruited into the academy thanks to a random official passing by her convent.

Many things happened and Lily entered the academy, where according to the story of the game, she would spend happy days together with the capture targets and unpleasant moments thanks to the villain and the problems of school and love events.

But thanks to the power of love, she would live with her head held high to get ahead.

That was the protagonist with a cheerful and energetic personality. Quite the opposite, to the present girl.

Lily was locked in her room.

The lights were off, she was in her blanket covered up like a little girl.

She was trembling as her cheerful face was distorted by fear and stress.

Lily thought as she looked like a frightened cat.

(Please... don't let them come. I don't want to see them again.)

It's been a couple of weeks since she entered the academy.

(I don't want this anymore. No, no...)

On the first day she met a boy at the entrance who was contemplating the statues of the three gods.

She kept staring at him because of his handsome face and, when the boy turned to leave, she found her staring at him.

Lily ran away.

In her homeroom, the cliché event of meeting the person you recently saw again unfolded.

Lily pointed out the prince as all cliché, after that, they all laughed and began to engage in conversation.

At first, Lily did not dislike talking to Prince Regulux at all.

Sometime later she met other people related to him.

Lambert, a boy who always passed by the third prince.

Then. Bellange by bringing him a bottle of water for his hard training.

She met Oscar after hearing a piano playing. Upon entering the room, she clapped her hands saying it was a beautiful melody.

She finally met Jake through a comical event of being late for Professor John's class.

That was how Lily met them all.

She was a very social person, but as time went on she preferred to be alone.

The reason was.

"I can't stand any of them!"

Because those five were really obnoxious people.

"Jake is a very self-conscious kid with his father. Plus, he won't shut up. Shut up Jake, shut up already please!"

"Oscar is a narcissist of the worst kind. He only wants to talk about himself. Or about things that interest them like his grandfather's position. For a guy, he's really very annoying with his feminine cares, he makes me feel weird talking to him."

"Bellange... He's a jerk! No. A super muscle-bound jerk! That guy has a really repulsive conflict about wanting to be number one, he's always trying to compete with Lambert in a sick way. The worst part is that when he gets upset, it's scary. He yelled at me once and from then on I stopped wanting to talk to him."

"Lambert is one of the darkest people I've ever seen. I get scared just being in the same place as him. I feel like he will murder me if I do anything wrong. Once we went to a restaurant for lunch, he looked at me with a face that said I was doing everything, I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible."

"But... I can't. I want to run away from these guys, but the main problem with all of them is Prince Regulux. That guy, he scares me more than any other!"

The event of meeting the villain had happened.

Lily instantly understood why Duke Rosenberg's daughter was looking at her with macabre intent.

Still she remembered that.

Lily was walking with Regulux down a hallway at night.

The reason was because Lily was being stalked by the prince.

Professor Manfred asked her to take some papers to his office, it was there that she found Prince Regulux. He was waiting for her to come out to pretend it was mere chance.

Lily was terrified.

She was in a cold sweat as the prince talked to her about absurd things about the imperial family.

Lily didn't really care about that, in fact, she had never developed dark intentions towards people.

But if given the chance, she would seek to hire assassins to take care of those five.

Such was Lily's state of mind, constantly being stalked by five individuals. It didn't matter if it was morning, noon or night. If it was a weekend or a vacation.

They would always look to want to spend time with her.

As they walked. Elize, the duke's villainess daughter appeared.

He would ask them things like. "Why is Your Highness standing next to that woman at this time of night?" and. "I understand that Your Highness wants to look for potential mistresses, but you should consider your status before appearance."

Regulux was annoyed, she chided Elize as she blatantly placed her hand on Lily's shoulder and pulled her close against her chest.

"Elize, didn't I tell you that affairs of engagement within the academy were forbidden? Besides, unlike with you, she doesn't seek only the benefits of the imperial family."

Lily wanted to cry, she was scared. She was scared of the person who could send her to the gallows with just a command, but she was more scared of the woman who seemed to think she was trying to steal her fiancé.

Lily wanted to scream at her. "I don't want anything to do with him, please take him away, I really beg you!"

Elize kept saying things to the prince, but he kept responding with nonsense. In the end, Elize left as she started to get a headache, but not before giving Lily a threatening look.

Once she left the papers in the professor's office. Lily went back to her room to cry.

"I don't want this! I just...I just... I want to live in peace away from them! Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!"

That was what happened yesterday, once she got up, Lily heard the door to her room being knocked on by a woman.

"Miss Lily, His Highness Regulux wishes to see you in 15 minutes in the sitting room of your dormitory."

Lily immediately stood up and covered her mouth. She was trembling as her eyes grew large.

A thought flashed through her mind.

(I don't want to go, but...if I don't go, who knows what he would do to the children and nuns at the convent?)

Lily got out of bed crying, her hair was disheveled, bags under her eyes were visible.

As she walked down that hallway, Lily thought several times about jumping out the window.

◇◇◇

(Huh? What's going on?)

Lily's mind was in the clouds, she didn't understand what was going on.

She was in a large party room, around her were the five capture targets.

And in front of her was the villain daughter shouting something.

Because Lily took some sleeping and stress pills, her mind has been wandering lately. As a side effect of ingesting pills daily, she was deaf.

From the expressions on their faces, Prince Regulux was upset and speaking in a loud tone.

Her fiancé was teary-eyed as he pointed at Lily.

It has been two years since she entered the academy.

After the first cycle of classes, her grades plummeted.

It was due to Prince Regulux's influence that she was not expelled.

That also created unease among the other nobles.

Lily lived in panic because of the possibility that events such as kidnapping and attempted murders would happen again.

So she was forced to live with the prince in a separate building built by the influence of the imperial family.

Every night Lily locked her room and then slept in the closet, the reason was because once the prince tried to enter her room and could not.

The very idea of one of them touching her generated disgust and revulsion in her.

Lily had lost the bright smile she used to show to others.

Not even the letters from the convent that came to her every week could make her any better. The prince thought they were a nuisance to her.

So he closed the convent thinking she would get better.

All it did was make Lily close her heart.

For that reason, a few moments ago she was shamelessly hugged by Prince Regulux.

Lily looked like a dead fish. She stopped talking and only moved her mouth to eat something or drink.

It was then that Elize appeared.

Lily wanted to tell her with what little strength her consciousness had left before it shut down from the side effects.

(Please... don't hate me. I don't want this, I'm a victim. There is nothing good about this guy. I beg you, help me, anyone. Please release me from this suffering).

Strange words came out of her mouth, those words were game dialogues, but in her current situation it was just the otome game world advancing normally in the event.

"Let's be friends, Elize-san. Together we can be the betrothed of His Highness."

Lily didn't understand why he said that, but it didn't matter as she fainted after that.

◇◇◇

Four years had passed.

The holy war against the demonic continent had ended.

Many had died, including two of the capture targets.

Half of the empire was destroyed and part of the world is uninhabitable.

A western-style church was the current location.

Inside, many people were seated.

Everyone was eagerly awaiting the wedding event of Prince Regulux and Saint Lily. Including his official lovers.

Lily walked in a beautiful pure white wedding dress.

Arriving at the altar, Prince Regulux and the surviving capture targets were happy.

After the veil was removed, the ceremony began.

Everyone present was joyful, but not because of Lily or the wedding. But because they belonged to the faction of the next emperor.

The war for the succession of the imperial crown had consummated with a great separation of the empire. Half of the largest empire in the world was only a mere shadow at present.

Of the seven dukes, only three remained.

Many were lived between the first and second prince.

The fourth prince became a dark being and had to be sacrificed.

In the midst of that chaos a rebellion broke out among the commoners led by Serge.

They were fed up with the selfish way the nobles acted.

An internal war in different battlefields. Coupled with a world war. The result for the poor victims left a dark future for the survivors.

Without taking into account the poisoning of the world.

Prince Regulux shouted during the war.

"Do not falter! Even if you die, you will die for the future of the country!"

Many did not want to fight. If they had a chance to escape they would, but there was not a single safe place in the world.

Yes, if they had the chance to be able to avoid this war, they would.

If someone knew that these misfortunes were going to happen and could nip them in the bud. The people of this reality would be on their knees begging for that savior.

It would be the same as seeing a bright light in a vast sea of darkness.

A light that came to save them all from that dark future.

Now that the ceremony was over, it was time to kiss the bride.

"Lily, I love you. Unlike that hideous woman, you fill me with joy."

Said Prince Regulux after remembering that day. The day his former fiancé was executed.

He burst out laughing after seeing her corpse and her expression of pain while still being dead, tears were pouring from her eyes.

The people inside the church stood up, all of them were winners as the new emperor will give them benefits for helping him. What he does not know is that many of them are traitors and conspirators who supported the demon clan.

Even those who eliminated the children and had fun with the nuns in the convent before selling them to the lawless city were present.

Now that city is the new imperial capital as the previous one was destroyed by the witch Amy before she died.

Lily had a thought just before she touched the prince's lips.

(You will all die with me.)

(You are all despicable as human beings. You don't care about others and only prefer to save your own skin.)

A few minutes before the ceremony started, Lily went to the lower part of the church and broke a toxic gas pipe that was built to eliminate the invaders in the neighborhoods of the district where poor families lived.

Among those families, a man who looked like a bear was killing enemy soldiers while trying to generate a path for his family to flee, but to no avail as they fell in the streets afterwards.

The toxic gas was colorless and odorless.

Lily used her magic to slow the effects, especially on these three.

With a fond smile she said.

"I hope they all burn in hell."

Lily cursed them all as she watched them vomit blood, herself included.

That was the happy ending in the game for Lily after playing along in reality.

That was bound to happen, so the present Lily was...

"Good morning!"

"Good morning."

Lily was somehow greeting a rare boy. Love events and had been popping up for a while, but she wasn't present at any of them.

"Razel-kun, do you have anything to do today?"

"Nothing, actually. In fact, I was going to go eat out. I heard from Cid that there's a really good restaurant for a low price."

Lily clasped her hands together in prayer and with a smile said.

"Can I come with you!!!?"

"... I don't mind at all. But are you sure you don't have anything pending or to do later?"

Lily remembered being summoned to a tea party for Prince Regulux, but she ignored him.

She found him utterly unpleasant to be with.

When they talked, it was only to praise himself.

Fortunately, he didn't seem to be a stalker boy.

"Not at all. Let's go as soon as possible, or else it'll fill up fast."

Lily was pushing a boy by the name of Razel from behind.

Her face showed a happiness she could never have experienced in the game.

Whether for better or for worse. Lily was living just as the game said.

Cheerful and happy girl who lives a quiet life with the people she loves.
