I Will Politely Decline The Male Lead - Chapter 1

I had one talent.

It seems that I never forget things I see, even once.

Therefore, the descriptions of the appearances, subtle settings, and even the extra lines came to mind, to the extent if I presented a sentence to someone, I could recite the story with better text, the character who said it, in addition to the character’s actions at the time.

Among them, the novel 〈Heal Me, Lady〉 touched my heart deeply, so I could easily spit out all the names of the aristocrats who came out for a while.

So I could be sure. The moment I heard the name, I had no choice but to recognize it.

‘Lady Maleficent!’

The name that escaped from the mouth of the running woman, as if she knew me very well, was the villain of 〈Heal Me, Lady,〉Elinda Maleficent.

And one more thing.

The woman with brown hair, that didn’t seem Korean in the least bit, green eyes, and freckles centered around her nose, must have been Elinda’s maid, Anna.

A 〈Heal Me, Lady〉 dream.

That’s awesome. You look just as I expected, right?

Anyway, in this dream, I am the villain Elinda Maleficent, and the temporal background of the dream was the day of the academy entrance ceremony, the starting point of 〈Heal Me, Lady.〉

She’ll probably say ‘Why did you wake up now when today’s your entrance ceremony?’ I’m sure it’s accurate.

The heroine and Elinda were set up as students of the Academy Alumni.

Regardless, it was my first time having such a vivid dream.

When it comes to dreams, they always seem to be distorted, but the color was faint, and the viewpoint had not changed.

However, I have consistently maintained Elinda Maleficent’s point of view, and Anna was extremely sharp and realistic, more like a real person.

Should I say that even the number of freckles could be counted? In any case, it meant that it was too lively to be a dream.

…I should have known then.

“Elinda Maleficent, no matter how much you are a member of the Maleficent family, this is an academy.’

‘….’

‘Three laps around the field, run, now.’

I realized this wasn’t a dream after I ran three laps around the field with Elinda Maleficent’s fragile legs.

‘I made a student go around the vast academy grounds three times. I’ll let you go.’ Well. I felt pain.

The hellish pain that resonated around the calf.

After that, I was able to realize only after a week and a day of suffering.

‘Crazy, this isn’t a dream.’

If so, it was necessary to revise the plans I had made so far.

As long as it wasn’t a dream, I could no longer live like a fool.

Running was not my area of expertise.

If I squatted and ran around the field a few times like that, I might die from muscle pain.

Anyway, it was more important how to get back to reality.

In a dream, it didn’t matter whether I was Elinda Maleficent, Anna, or even a passerby, but if it was a real situation, not a dream, the words would be different.

That would be the case, as Lady Maleficent was the ‘villain’ in the novel.

Yes, an evil woman.

The evil woman who was executed by the male lead at a flower-like age.

Now, she was enjoying being in a noble family, being luxurious, and having delicious food.

However, it was all cut off when she entered the academy.

In any case, it was a little uncomfortable to enjoy luxury knowing that I would already die.

Besides, my reality was not something that could be traded for the life of a villain who had lived for only twenty years or so.

Even though I possessed Elinda Maleficent, her parents would not become mine, and her connections had nothing to do with me.

Thus, I have to get out of here, but I don’t know how.

So I had to choose.

Whether I will be executed for living a short and bold life in the hope that I will return to reality, or I will live a long but stable life after destroying the original work and attracting all male leads to my side.

‘Elinda Maleficent! You were doing something else in class again! Get out and take a quick lap!’

After a few days of running around the field, the answer I accumulated was the former me.

It was simple. I had to.

In the first place, I couldn’t have a relationship, and I was in the possession of a wicked girl! Does it make sense to be able to talk to someone? It was the story of a passing dog laughing and hitting Elinda.

No matter how beautiful Elinda Maleficent’s appearance was, it was nothing compared to the female protagonist’s face. The charm of the female protagonist Serena Eleanor was hard to express in words.

Pure, innocent, in addition to her clear features…

If it weren’t for the male protagonist, I would have already made a move.

Ah, this is why there was no choice to live a normal life in the first place.

Elinda’s Maleficent family was the greatest dukedom of the empire, therefore the imperial family had to seize their power, engaging her to the Crown Prince.

This was something I couldn’t help because it was about thirteen years before I possessed this body.

It was impossible to break the marriage unless it was something as horrible as treason, stated by the law of the temple. In the meantime, the Crown Prince leaves his fiancee and falls in love with another woman, and unfortunately, I can’t stop it…

In the first place, ‘normality’ was nothing. It was almost nonexistent for Maleficent.

Anyway, for this reason, I decided to thoroughly imitate the path the original Elinda took.

It was the surest and most stable way. If I was going to die anyway, it would have been safer to destroy the original as little as possible to increase the possibility of likelihood.

Of course, there were several crises in the middle. It was because the Serena she faced was too nice and charming.

How can you bully such a child!

Although I could understand the prince’s feelings for her, I attempted to harm Serena, accompanied by a feeling that I could not help.

At first, I walked and purposely handed her a drink filled with drugs.

Later, with the help of my family, I put Serena in trouble. In particular, Elinda’s brother William Maleficent, who had Serena in his heart and was rejected, persistently harassed her with me at the forefront.

Serena, who was likely to steal his daughter’s fiancé and to gain power, was naturally not a welcome addition to the head of the Maleficent family.

But they could not confront the imperial court directly, so the members of the House of Maleficent, including my father, used me as a shield and did evil to her.

Outwardly pretending to stop me, despicable.

Of course, I had to carry out the original work faithfully, having no choice but to let it pass.

I just wanted Serena to get through all these hardships and have a happy ending.

I’m sorry, Serena. It was very heartbreaking to ruin you.

Damn it, I was wrong.

‘Elinda Maleficent, a sinner who committed evil to the innocent empire’s civilians. ‘

In any case, the Crown Prince ended his engagement with me and wished to put me to death in return for harming his lover, and my father and brother, who had always used me as a shield and planted innocent images, pretended not to have anything to do with it, thus abandoning me at the execution site.

I regret having left a scar on Serena’s pretty face, but I couldn’t help it as it was a matter of course.

It was over now.

It would be good to go back to reality, or just die.

‘Serena, I hate you! I hate you to the core!’

The execution site in midday, while it was raining.

After reciting the last line of Elinda Maleficent, I gently closed my eyes.

No, Serena. I liked you a lot. You were so pretty. Besides, you’re nice.

You don’t know how happy I was when you earned a happy ending.

Goodbye, Serena. Goodbye…

I thought…

‘Lady Maleficent!’

But what was given to me was neither reality nor eternal death.

The same voice, the same accent, and the character.

It was Anna.

‘Why did you wake up now when today’s your entrance ceremony?’

She uttered the same words as when I first possessed this body.

Immediately, I could realize that I had returned.

The swift touch of the sharp blade was clear enough to make me shudder, but Anna’s nagging at me was also extremely realistic.

Oh, my God, I can’t believe I’m back here. I’ve been reincarnated again.

Whatever it was, it was a return to live my life as a villain, so I decided to do it properly this time.

I decided to remove off my title as a villain and live a normal life, which was my second best option.

Come to think of it, even if it is not possible to break up the marriage, the Crown Prince could be with Serena.

I’m just a scarecrow fiancee. I’ve been able to do it many times. I didn’t have to do anything bad to Serena, so this option was more profitable.

But the prince was crueler than my character interpretation.

‘I don’t need two wives.’

Serena doesn’t like it.

When the prince finished speaking, he folded his eyes and smiled.

I thought it would be very attractive when I read it, but after experiencing it in person, there was no such thing.

Five years after deciding to live properly, the Prince folded his arms.

There was no justification for executing me, so he just decided to kill me.

It just so happened that the day was the very same one as the original, Elinda Maleficent, or I, was executed.

Fate seemed to be irresistible even if it did not follow the original work.

‘This crazy guy, I’m saying I’ll die anyway, but if you act like that, you’ll become emperor later and be ruined.’

Anyway, it’s all over now. When I spit out what I want to say to my heart’s content, the Prince burst into laughter.

Like the male protagonist, he seemed indifferent, yet he smiled leisurely.

‘It seems like you’re going crazy since you’re about to die.’

‘…..’

‘What can I do, it’s already over with your family.’

He smiled again in sarcasm.

I also followed with a crazy laugh.

Oh, yeah. I was also used by my family this time.

But even if I knew the truth, there was no change in my being killed here right now.

Nevertheless, now that Elinda Maleficent’s life has ended, I just want to die comfortably. It would be better if you sent me to reality.

….Not long after I thought of it, I opened my eyes again.

‘Lady Maleficent!’

Yeah, it was a regression again. It’s also the day of the entrance ceremony of the academy when I was 15 years old.

God damn it.
