00:00This is Alicia, the villainess in my very favorite Otome game.
00:24She's a mean girl who bullies the heroine.
00:26But I'm super impressed with not only her determination, but her razor-sharp wit.
00:34I can't seem to muster a shred of admiration for the heroine.
00:37She's the only commoner allowed to attend the noble, exclusive magic academy. So unfair.
00:44She acts like a total goody two-shoes when it serves her, then flashes a smile so innocent it feels forced, just to toy with the poor prince's heart.
00:53My friends say that if they could be reborn, they'd want to be the sweet-talking heroine adored by everyone.
01:01But personally, if I had my choice, I'd much rather be the shrewd villainess.
01:07Yeah, I'd forgotten, but it's all coming back to me now.
01:17My name's Alicia. I'm seven years old.
01:19I'm the eldest daughter of the high-ranking Williams family.
01:28My kind older brothers are conquerable roots for the heroine.
01:32I didn't bother to question any of this until yesterday, but without a doubt, I am in the world of my beloved game.
01:39So that must mean... I've been reincarnated as the villainess of my dreams!
01:46This opportunity won't be wasted on me. I'll work hard to be the greatest villainess in the world.
01:52No, even better. I'll become a villainess who goes down in history.
01:56It was blooming just last night.
02:22No matter. My healing magic can always revive it.
02:27Rose! Another! Good morning to you two!
02:29Oh, good morning, Lady Alicia.
02:34She actually woke up early?
02:36Yes, and she seemed cheerful when she greeted us, too.
02:41Goodbye to the old me that acted like a spoiled brat!
02:45I can't waste time if I want to become a villainess who goes down in history!
02:50First things first!
02:51Morning, Brother Albert!
03:02Hey there. It's a surprise to see you up so early, Allie.
03:05May I ask you to teach me how to swing a sword, too?
03:08Huh?
03:10What happened to bring this on?
03:11I just want to get really strong.
03:13You're such a liar.
03:15This is just another one of your fleeting whims.
03:18That's not true at all, Brother Henry.
03:20Yeah, classic Alicia.
03:23Seriously, Brother Alan?
03:25No, no.
03:27Of course I'll teach you.
03:28But you know, you'll need to build up the strength to hold a sword.
03:32Start with a hundred sit-ups a day, followed by fifty push-ups.
03:36Do that for a week, then we'll start your training.
03:39Great!
03:41No, it might be harder than you think.
03:43You shouldn't underestimate me.
03:46I'll be fine. You'll see me back here next week.
03:50Emma?
03:51I'll start my day by studying magic, and do strength training in the evening.
04:02Magic is very real in this world, but only nobles possess the mana that allows for the use of it.
04:09There are several basic fundamentals of magic, elements most are familiar with, such as dark, fire, light, wind, and water.
04:21The nobles who excel in these top five attributes are known as the five great noble families.
04:27They serve the king directly and function as the pillars of the kingdom.
04:31The Williams family, specializing in dark magic, is one of those five.
04:34But even if one is blessed with natural talent, you can't master any of it without the proper training.
04:41I wonder if it's too early for me to begin my magic studies.
04:50Why can't I find any books on magic?
04:53Am I overlooking them because this library's so huge?
04:59I guess for today, I'll read some of these books about plants.
05:02Magic isn't the only thing I should focus on.
05:06Herbs for bringing down a fever.
05:09Flowers that can glow.
05:12And blind trees!
05:15Where did the time go?
05:18I guess I got too absorbed in reading about all these neat things that didn't exist in my old world.
05:24I can't believe I read all these books in a day.
05:27Alicia must be incredibly gifted or something.
05:29This bodes well for my future.
05:32Forty.
05:34Eight.
05:36Forty.
05:38Nine.
05:46This is so hard.
05:47Alicia has no muscle at all.
05:49Like she's made a whipped cream.
05:52But I am at the mercy of my ambition.
05:54Forty-eight.
06:04Forty-nine.
06:06Done!
06:09I thought I might pass out yesterday, but today I'm barely breaking a sweat.
06:14Well, that's good.
06:16After breakfast, I'll head on over to the library.
06:18There's plenty of reading left to do.
06:22After a week of intense reading and training was finally behind me, I realized I had made a phenomenal amount of progress.
06:40If I do five hundred sit-ups, and then three hundred push-ups after, Brother Albert will have no reason to criticize me.
06:50Alicia, what's come over you as of late?
06:58I've noticed you've been waking up early.
07:00Nothing's changed at all, Father.
07:02I feel great.
07:03Where have you been running off to every day?
07:05I thought your favorite thing to do was laze around in your room.
07:08Sorry, that's a secret.
07:11I'm definitely giving off the vibe that I'm plotting something, right?
07:14I really am a villain.
07:16I don't think there's any way they'd believe me if I told them I can recall my previous life.
07:21Remind me.
07:22Aren't you going somewhere important today, Albert?
07:25That's right.
07:26Touring the Magic Academy.
07:27Paul's showing us around.
07:29It should be an interesting experience.
07:31My, how time flies.
07:32Hard to believe you're already twelve.
07:34That means you'll be enrolling at the Academy in three years.
07:38Oh, so my sword training will have to wait until he comes home from this tour.
07:59I recognize them!
08:00Those are the love interests in the game!
08:04Master Eric of the Hudson family with the bright red hair who uses fire magic.
08:10Master Finn of the Smith family with his golden mane who uses light magic.
08:14The mysterious Master Gale of the Evans family who uses wind magic.
08:19Master Curtis of the Kenwood family.
08:22He uses green magic.
08:24He's also not from any of the five great noble families.
08:27And finally, with striking blue hair and eyes, the only son of the king, Prince Duke Seeker.
08:34He uses water magic.
08:36Prince Duke is who the heroine ends up with if you trigger the game's good ending.
08:41He's actually the one I'm most into.
08:43But I'll leave the romance to the heroine.
08:46This is my big chance to make a lasting impression on them as a villainess.
08:51Allie.
08:53You've never met these guys.
08:55I'll introduce you now.
08:57Wow!
08:58So this is your little sister?
09:00She's too cute!
09:01She's seven, right?
09:03She's so small!
09:04All of them are extremely handsome, but this is a crucial moment for me.
09:09The world's greatest villainess can't be seen as an unruly child with no manners or charm.
09:14Hi, I'm Alicia.
09:15Pleased to meet you.
09:17She isn't anything like her brothers tried to make her out to be.
09:21She seems quite composed for someone so young.
09:24Weren't you and Alan planning to demonstrate your swordsmanship for all of us today?
09:28Yes, that's right.
09:29We are.
09:30If you're practicing sword skills, please teach me too.
09:34You promised you'd start teaching me today, remember?
09:37No, I said I'd only do it if you could do all those sit-ups and push-ups every day.
09:42Well, I did!
09:43Uh-huh, sure.
09:44All right, Alan.
09:45We might as well start with you.
09:52He doesn't believe me!
09:54In that case...
09:56Whoa, now what?
10:01Please work!
10:02I have to prove myself!
10:09I believe I already told you not to underestimate me.
10:12Oh, I see.
10:16You mean it.
10:17Of course I mean it.
10:21All right, then.
10:22Thank you, Brother Albert!
10:24Then I'll go get changed right away!
10:26Hmm.
10:30Oh.
10:33Hmm.
10:33There's so much I need to be careful of.
10:44After a year of my brother teaching me how to correctly use a sword...
10:53I'm still just doing practice swings.
10:58He says training is useless if I can't hold a sword for several hours at a time.
11:02If I wasn't aiming to become the world's greatest villainess, I'd be bored of this by now.
11:11Hmm?
11:11Over this past year, Prince Duke has been visiting our house quite a bit.
11:16At least that's how it seems.
11:26Hi.
11:27Are you finished for the day?
11:28No, not yet.
11:30I'm just taking a break.
11:31That's the first time he's ever spoken to me.
11:34Tell me, why is it you push yourself so hard?
11:37Avil...
11:37Avil...
11:38Avil and a silly powerful grip's what I want.
11:42Oh.
11:43Well, I certainly hope you attain your goal.
11:49Duke.
11:50Apologies for the interruption, Alicia.
11:55Say, Duke, why have you started coming over here all the time?
12:11At first I thought it was for the books, but could it be that...
12:17I wish I could say, but to be honest with you, I don't know.
12:25Next, regarding the village of Roana.
12:30It's been rendered uninhabitable.
12:33The living conditions have degraded more and more every year.
12:36That's true, but if we send aid too hastily, we risk upsetting the people.
12:41It's a village of criminals, after all.
12:43In light of that fact, do you not think the Golden Rose should be our first priority?
12:48Our kingdom and our people need hope to thrive.
12:51It's vital.
12:51Your Majesty, we of the five great noble families are all in agreement that a hiatus is long overdue.
12:59Then let us pause.
13:02So, Arnold, Finn has told us that he would really like to invite Miss Alicia to come visit our house.
13:09Yes, I've heard as much.
13:11I've already instructed her to avoid causing any trouble.
13:14A very polite young lady.
13:16At least that's how my son Eric described her to me.
13:19Gail said the same.
13:20She used to be a much more selfish little girl.
13:23Things changed about a year ago.
13:25She began spending much of her free time in the library.
13:28I still don't fully understand why.
13:30Oh.
13:35Good to see you.
13:36Thank you so much for coming to visit.
13:39My pleasure.
13:40And thank you for the invitation.
13:42Let's have a nice tea party in the garden out back.
13:44Yes, please.
13:45Master Albert, sir.
13:48The king is due to visit today.
13:50I hope you don't mind that some other guests will be joining us, though.
13:56Hey there!
13:59Hi, everyone!
14:00What?
14:01Why would they all be here together?
14:03I'm assuming he hasn't arrived yet?
14:05He should be here soon.
14:09A map?
14:11Alicia is exiled to a foreign country at the end of the game.
14:14Are we already at the ending?
14:16The storyline moved way too fast.
14:18His majesty?
14:30Why is he here?
14:32I hope the day finds you well, your majesty, sir.
14:37Raise your head.
14:39I've heard quite a bit about you.
14:41I was hoping we could have a conversation.
14:44That's why I'm here.
14:45Now then, Alicia, I'll get straight to it.
14:49Regarding the position our kingdom has found itself in,
14:52where do you feel we now stand?
14:55I don't get the point of this question.
14:57Why would he talk politics with an eight-year-old?
15:00Is he testing me or something?
15:03That must be it.
15:04It's a villainous test!
15:07God has set this challenge to see if I can become a right and proper villainous.
15:11So the answer has to be, with all due respect, while the kingdom of Durkis is indeed a major power,
15:18it would be a misnomer to call it a great nation.
15:21How's that?
15:22Sounded like a picture-perfect villainous, huh?
15:25We may have a strong economy, but the majority of the money lies with the kingdom's nobility,
15:31creating a serious wealth gap.
15:32The rural village of Rwana is in such dire straits that most who live there can't even afford their daily bread.
15:40Discontent toward nobility grows ever greater.
15:42An uprising could break out at any time.
15:45You think we need to improve our economic strength?
15:47Well then, how would you go about fixing it?
15:50He expects even more from me?
15:52What would a true villainous say?
15:54How about exploiting the gold mines of our neighbors in the Calvera region?
15:58Calvera is under the rule of Laval, so we'd be seizing it from him.
16:02Not quite. Not if we assist Calvera in attaining independence.
16:06It would be best to avoid comfort with Laval.
16:10We maintain our relationship on the surface, while trading with Calvera behind the scenes.
16:15See? They'll owe us a debt of gratitude.
16:18And once they've gained their independence, we'll have an undeniable advantage in trading with them.
16:24So, we established political dominance over Calvera, only to subsequently rake in the profits?
16:30I see.
16:31Using others for personal gain is something a goody-two-shoes like the heroine would never even consider.
16:37If I keep this up, the seeds of discord will slowly take root until my eventual confrontation with the heroine.
16:43I'm on track to become the greatest villainous ever!
16:46I must say, I had a most delightful time talking with you today.
16:53I am truly honored.
16:55Did that make you feel nervous?
17:04No, it didn't.
17:06Really?
17:07His eyes are so blue and expressive.
17:11That was absolutely riveting.
17:13I'm very glad to hear you thought so.
17:15Forgive me, but a matter has arisen that I'd like all of us to discuss.
17:19It's the golden rose.
17:21Seems it's been found.
17:23I see.
17:27I bet you're worn out from all that talking.
17:29Please, eat as much as you'd like.
17:31No way!
17:33They're serving all my favorite desserts, too?
17:35You know, there was a time people would call him the Ice Prince.
17:53Looks like spring has finally sprung, huh?
17:55Oh, Alicia.
18:08Yes?
18:09Do you have a moment?
18:11Here, it's for you.
18:12I'm aware I'm a bit late, but happy belated birthday.
18:16Well, you didn't have to do this.
18:19But may I open it?
18:21Of course.
18:22Oh, um, what's this?
18:28It's a diamond.
18:29Do you not like it?
18:30No, I love it.
18:31I'll truly treasure it.
18:33Oh, good.
18:34I thought you might.
18:35I suppose I must be going now.
18:37All right.
18:39I'll see you soon.
18:42Oh, my goodness.
18:43Diamonds are far more valuable in this world than they were in my old one.
18:48But why?
18:49Why would he give me such a thing?
18:52There's no question.
18:58It is the Golden Rose.
19:00Who does it belong to?
19:01A baker residing in the castle town.
19:03How'd he get it?
19:04This unusual rose opened up upon the birth of his only daughter.
19:08So he held on to it.
19:10Then that means his daughter is the saint.
19:14The girl that's destined to join the kingdom's ruler, guide the people to peace, and ultimately save the world.
19:20The day the one who will control the fate of the entire kingdom is born, a very special rose opens its petals.
19:27This was proven on the day that the blue rose bloomed.
19:30I assume the gold color is special for the saint.
19:32Yes, and that means we finally have the ones who govern the blue rose and the golden rose now.
19:39Duke, for whom the blue rose bloomed, and this girl, for whom the golden rose bloomed.
19:44With the two of them leading the way, this kingdom would seem certain to flourish and provide.
19:50However, such a transformation will always come at a steep price.
19:54And as we know, the bigger the transformation, the greater the trouble we're in for.
20:08Your Majesty, the legend of the saint makes one thing very clear.
20:12That when the saint unites herself with a member of the royal family and power...
20:24We all must accept our fates.
20:30It's absolutely perfect!
20:33Since it's on the small side, it doesn't get in my way!
20:38Even if Duke falls for the heroine one day and demands I return it, I'll never give it back.
20:44I'll look him dead in the eye and refuse like a true villainess.
20:47Just you wait, world.
20:49The big debut of the villainess who's going down in history is coming soon.
