Chapter 2 (2/2)

The title that everyone coveted, the Duke of Winter Forest, was at last claimed by none other than Luca Winterwald himself.

Soon enough, spring will arrive.

Everything will begin to flourish and bloom, and spring will bring joy.

But, would spring even come to this frozen-over Winter Forest?

Luca won’t be able to find out.]

Ahh~ Even when I think about it again, it’s so nice.

However…

I absolutely refuse to be the stepping stone for my favorite scene!

No matter how difficult the situation was, it’s better to be alive than dead.

Even though I unexpectedly entered this body, I still wanted to live a little bit longer.

But why did it have to be like this in this novel?

Is it because it’s my favorite genre?

My friends criticized me for my peculiar preferences and recommended that I should read inspirational or more mundane stories instead, which I wrote them off for…

I should’ve listened to them.

Then, at the very least, this possessed world could have been somewhat normal.

Well, not exactly. At least this world doesn’t deal with poverty or survival, which I’m thankful for.

If I were a zombie fanatic… Eugh, geez.

Ah, but why, of all people, did it have to be Judith Maybaum?

There are plenty of other extras available! For instance, I could’ve been a princess that saved Luca from being assassinated…

In all honesty, I didn’t like Judith Maybaum.

Actually, to be more precise, not one individual liked her!

No wonder, since Judith, his only living relative from his mother’s side, abused him during his youth and later sold him off to his uncle.

On top of that, Judith was used by Luca’s distant relatives as part of their schemes to threaten and get to him.

In this novel, that stupid, self-centered villian could only be her.

She only existed to get in the way of the protagonist.

Could it be true that subconsciously, I was similar to Judith?

When I thought about it like that, I began to detest myself even more.

In any case, I wanted to live, but obviously I wasn’t even aware about the obvious flag of death that was flying in the distance.
