00:17This is Alicia, the villainess in my very favorite Otome game.
00:23She's a mean girl who bullies the heroine.
00:27But I'm super impressed with not only her determination, but her razor-sharp wit.
00:33I 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.
00:42So unfair.
00:44She acts like a total goody two-shoes when it serves her,
00:47then flashes a smile so innocent it feels forced,
00:50just to toy with the poor prince's heart.
00:54My friends say that if they could be reborn,
00:57they'd want to be the sweet-talking heroine adored by everyone.
01:01But personally, if I had my choice,
01:04I'd much rather be the shrewd villainess.
01:11Yeah, I'd forgotten, but it's all coming back to me now.
01:16My name's Alicia.
01:18I'm seven years old.
01:25I'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,
01:35but without a doubt, I am in the world of my beloved game.
01:40So that must mean...
01:42I've been reincarnated as the villainess of my dreams!
01:46This opportunity won't be wasted on me.
01:49I'll work hard to be the greatest villainess in the world.
01:51No, even better.
01:53I'll become a villainess who goes down in history.
02:23I'll become a villainess who goes down in history.
02:25No matter, my healing magic can always revive it.
02:29Rose! Another!
02:30Good morning to you two!
02:32Oh, good morning, Lady Alicia.
02:36She actually woke up early?
02:38Yes, and she seemed cheerful when she greeted us, too.
02:44Goodbye to the old me that acted like a spoiled rat!
02:47I can't waste time if I want to become a villainess who goes down in history!
02:52First things first!
02:53First things first!
03:01Morning, Brother Albert!
03:04Hey there!
03:05It's a surprise to see you up so early, Allie.
03:08May I ask you to teach me how to swing a sword, too?
03:10Huh?
03:12What happened to bring this on?
03:14I just want to get really strong!
03:16You're such a liar!
03:17Ah!
03:17This is just another one of your fleeting whims.
03:20That's not true at all, Brother Henry!
03:23Yeah, classic Alicia!
03:25Seriously, Brother Alan?
03:27No, no.
03:29Of course I'll teach you.
03:30But you know, you'll need to build up the strength to hold a sword.
03:35Start with a hundred sit-ups a day, followed by fifty push-ups.
03:39Do that for a week, then we'll start your training.
03:42Great!
03:43No, it might be harder than you think.
03:46You shouldn't underestimate me.
03:49I'll be fine.
03:50You'll see me back here next week.
03:59I'll start my day by studying magic, and do strength training in the evening.
04:05Magic is very real in this world, but only nobles possess the mana that allows for the use of it.
04:11There are several basic fundamentals of magic, elements most are familiar with.
04:17Such as dark, fire, light, wind, and water.
04:24The nobles who excel in these top five attributes are known as the five great noble families.
04:29They serve the king directly and function as the pillars of the kingdom.
04:33The Williams family, specializing in dark magic, is one of those five.
04:37But even if one is blessed with natural talent, you can't master any of it without the proper training.
04:42I wonder if it's too early for me to begin my magic studies.
04:53Why can't I find any books on magic?
04:55Am I overlooking them because this library's so huge?
05:01I guess for today, I'll read some of these books about plants.
05:05Magic isn't the only thing I should focus on.
05:09Herbs for bringing down a fever.
05:12Flowers that can glow?
05:14And blind trees?
05:18Where did the time go?
05:20I guess I got too absorbed in reading about all these neat things that didn't exist in my old world.
05:26I can't believe I read all these books in a day.
05:29Alicia must be incredibly gifted or something.
05:32This bodes well for my future.
05:48This is so hard.
05:50Alicia has no muscle at all.
05:52Like she's made a whipped cream.
05:54But I am at the mercy of my ambition.
06:05Forty-eight.
06:06Forty-nine.
06:08Done!
06:12I thought I might pass out yesterday, but today I'm barely breaking a sweat.
06:17Well, that's good.
06:18After breakfast, I'll head on over to the library.
06:22There's plenty of reading left to do.
06:35After a week of intense reading and training was finally behind me,
06:39I realized I had made a phenomenal amount of progress.
06:45If I do five hundred sit-ups and then three hundred push-ups after,
06:50Brother Albert will have no reason to criticize me.
06:57Alicia, what's come over you as of late?
07:00I've noticed you've been waking up early.
07:02Nothing's changed at all, Father.
07:04I feel great.
07:05Where have you been running off to every day?
07:08I thought your favorite thing to do was laze around in your room.
07:10Sorry, that's a secret.
07:13I'm definitely giving off the vibe that I'm plotting something, right?
07:16I really am a villain.
07:18I don't think there's any way they'd believe me if I told them I can recall my previous life.
07:24Remind me, aren't you going somewhere important today, Albert?
07:27That's right.
07:28Touring the Magic Academy.
07:30Paul's showing us around.
07:31It should be an interesting experience.
07:33My, how time flies.
07:35Hard to believe you're already twelve.
07:37That means you'll be enrolling at the Academy in three years.
07:40Oh, so my sword training will have to wait until he comes home from this tour.
08:01I recognize them.
08:03Those are the love interests in the game.
08:06Master Eric of the Hudson family, with the bright red hair, who uses fire magic.
08:12Master Finn of the Smith family, with his golden mane, who uses light magic.
08:17The mysterious Master Gale of the Evans family, who uses wind magic.
08:22Master Curtis of the Kenwood family.
08:24He uses green magic.
08:26He's also not from any of the five great noble families.
08:30And finally, with striking blue hair and eyes, the only son of the king, Prince Duke Seeker.
08:37He uses water magic.
08:38Prince Duke is who the heroine ends up with if you trigger the game's good ending.
08:43He's actually the one I'm most into.
08:46But I'll leave the romance to the heroine.
08:48This is my big chance to make a lasting impression on them as a villainess.
08:53Allie.
08:55You've never met these guys.
08:58I'll introduce you now.
09:00Wow.
09:00So this is your little sister?
09:02She's too cute.
09:03She's seven, right?
09:05She's so small.
09:07All of them are extremely handsome, but this is a crucial moment for me.
09:11The world's greatest villainess can't be seen as an unruly child with no manners or charm.
09:17I'm Alicia.
09:18Pleased to meet you.
09:19She isn't anything like her brothers tried to make her out to be.
09:23She seems quite composed for someone so young.
09:26Weren't you and Alan planning to demonstrate your swordsmanship for all of us today?
09:30Yes, that's right.
09:32We are.
09:33If you're practicing sword skills, please teach me too.
09:36You promised you'd start teaching me today, remember?
09:40No, I said I'd only do it if you could do all those sit-ups and push-ups every day.
09:44Well, I did.
09:46Uh-huh, sure.
09:47All right, Alan.
09:48We might as well start with you.
09:55He doesn't believe me.
09:57In that case...
09:58Whoa, now what?
10:03Please work.
10:04I have to prove myself.
10:11I believe I already told you not to underestimate me.
10:16I see.
10:18You mean it.
10:19Of course I mean it.
10:23All right, then.
10:25Thank you, Brother Albert!
10:26Then I'll go get changed right away!
10:44There's so much I need to be careful of.
10:52After a year of my brother teaching me how to correctly use a sword...
10:57I'm still just doing practice swings.
11:00He says training is useless if I can't hold a sword for several hours at a time.
11:05If I wasn't aiming to become the world's greatest villainess, I'd be bored of this by now.
11:13Over this past year, Prince Duke has been visiting our house quite a bit.
11:18At least that's how it seems.
11:29Hi, are you finished for the day?
11:31No, not yet.
11:32I'm just taking a break.
11:34That's the first time he's ever spoken to me.
11:36Tell me, why is it you push yourself so hard?
11:39A vil...
11:40A vil...
11:41A villainously powerful grip's what I want.
11:46Well, I certainly hope you attain your goal.
11:51Duke!
11:55Apologies for the interruption, Alicia.
12:09Say, Duke, why have you started coming over here all the time?
12:13At first I thought it was for the books, but...
12:16Could it be that...
12:20I wish I could say.
12:22But to be honest with you, I don't know.
12:29Next, regarding the village of Roana.
12:33It's been rendered uninhabitable.
12:35The living conditions have degraded more and more every year.
12:38That's true.
12:39But if we send aid too hastily, we risk upsetting the people.
12:43It's a village of criminals, after all.
12:45In light of that fact, do you not think the Golden Rose should be our first priority?
12:50Our kingdom and our people need hope to thrive.
12:53It's vital.
12:55Your Majesty, we of the five great noble families are all in agreement that a hiatus is long overdue.
13:01Then let us pause.
13:04So Arnold, Finn has told us that he would really like to invite Miss Alicia to come visit our house.
13:11Yes, I've heard as much.
13:13I've already instructed her to avoid causing any trouble.
13:16A very polite young lady.
13:18At least that's how my son Eric described her to me.
13:21Gail said the same.
13:22She used to be a much more selfish little girl.
13:25Things changed about a year ago.
13:27She began spending much of her free time in the library.
13:30I still don't fully understand why.
13:32Oh.
13:37Good to see you.
13:38Thank you so much for coming to visit.
13:41My pleasure.
13:42And thank you for the invitation.
13:44Let's have a nice tea party in the garden out back.
13:47Yes, please.
13:49Master Albert, sir.
13:50The king is due to visit today.
13:52I hope you don't mind that some other guests will be joining us, though.
13:59Hey there.
14:01Hi, everyone.
14:02What?
14:03Why would they all be here together?
14:05I'm assuming he hasn't arrived yet.
14:07He should be here soon.
14:12A map?
14:13Alicia is exiled to a foreign country at the end of the game.
14:17Are we already at the ending?
14:18The storyline moved way too fast.
14:22Uh...
14:31His majesty?
14:33Why is he here?
14:35I hope the day finds you well, your majesty, sir.
14:39Raise your head.
14:41I've heard quite a bit about you.
14:43I was hoping we could have a conversation.
14:46That's why I'm here.
14:48Now then, Alicia.
14:50I'll get straight to it.
14:51Regarding the position our kingdom has found itself in,
14:54where do you feel we now stand?
14:57I don't get the point of this question.
15:00Why would he talk politics with an eight-year-old?
15:03Is he testing me or something?
15:05That must be it.
15:07It's a villainous test.
15:09God has set this challenge to see if I can become a right and proper villainous.
15:14So the answer has to be...
15:15With all due respect,
15:17while the kingdom of Durkis is indeed a major power,
15:20it would be a misnomer to call it a great nation.
15:23How's that?
15:24Sounded like a picture-perfect villainous, huh?
15:28We may have a strong economy,
15:30but the majority of the money lies with the kingdom's nobility,
15:33creating a serious wealth gap.
15:35The rural village of Rwana is in such dire straits
15:38that most who live there can't even afford their daily bread.
15:42Discontent toward nobility grows ever greater.
15:45An uprising could break out at any time.
15:47You think we need to improve our economic strength?
15:49Well then, how would you go about fixing it?
15:52He expects even more from me?
15:54What would a true villainous say?
15:56How about exploiting the gold mines of our neighbors in the Calvera region?
16:01Calvera is under the rule of Laval, so we'd be seizing it from him.
16:04Not quite.
16:05Not if we assist Calvera in attaining independence.
16:09It would be best to avoid conflict with Laval.
16:12We maintain our relationship on the surface,
16:14while trading with Calvera behind the scenes.
16:17See?
16:18They'll owe us a debt of gratitude.
16:20And once they've gained their independence,
16:22we'll have an undeniable advantage in trading with them.
16:27So, we established political dominance over Calvera,
16:30only to subsequently rake in the Prophets?
16:32I see.
16:33Using others for personal gain
16:35is something a goody-two-shoes like the Heroine
16:37would never even consider.
16:39If I keep this up,
16:41the seeds of discord will slowly take root
16:43until my eventual confrontation with the Heroine.
16:45I'm on track to become the greatest villainous ever.
16:51I must say,
16:52I had a most delightful time talking with you today.
16:55I am truly honored.
17:05Did that make you feel nervous?
17:07No, it didn't.
17:08Really?
17:09His eyes are so blue and expressive.
17:13That was absolutely riveting.
17:15I'm very glad to hear you thought so.
17:17Oh, forgive me,
17:19but a matter has arisen
17:20that I'd like all of us to discuss.
17:22It's the Golden Rose.
17:23Seems it's been found.
17:26I see.
17:29I bet you're worn out from all that talking.
17:32Please, eat as much as you like.
17:33No way!
17:35They're serving all my favorite desserts, too?
17:38I shall happily accept.
17:41Huh?
17:42It's so, so young!
17:51You know, there was a time
17:53people would call him the Ice Prince.
17:55Looks like spring has finally sprung, huh?
18:08Oh, Alicia.
18:10Yes?
18:11Do you have a moment?
18:13Here, it's for you.
18:14I'm aware I'm a bit late,
18:16but happy belated birthday.
18:19Well, you didn't have to do this.
18:22But may I open it?
18:23Of course.
18:27Oh!
18:28Um, what's this?
18:30It's a diamond.
18:31Do you not like it?
18:32No, I love it.
18:34I'll truly treasure it.
18:35Oh, good.
18:36I thought you might.
18:37I suppose I must be going now.
18:39All right.
18:41I'll see you soon.
18:44Oh, my goodness.
18:46Diamonds are far more valuable in this world
18:48than they were in my old one.
18:50But why?
18:51Why would he give me such a thing?
18:59There's no question.
19:01It is the Golden Rose.
19:02Who does it belong to?
19:03A baker residing in the castle town.
19:05How'd he get it?
19:07This unusual rose opened up
19:09upon the birth of his only daughter.
19:11So he held on to it.
19:12Then that means his daughter is...
19:14the Saint.
19:16The girl that's destined to join the kingdom's ruler,
19:19guide the people to peace,
19:21and ultimately save the world.
19:23The day the one who will control the fate
19:25of the entire kingdom is born,
19:27a very special rose opens its petals.
19:29This was proven on the day that the blue rose bloomed.
19:32I assume the gold color is special for the Saint.
19:35Yes.
19:36And that means we finally have the ones
19:37who govern the blue rose and the golden rose now.
19:41Duke, for whom the blue rose bloomed,
19:43and this girl, for whom the golden rose bloomed.
19:46With the two of them leading the way,
19:49this kingdom would seem certain to flourish and provide.
19:52However, such a transformation
19:54will always come at a steep price.
19:56And as we know,
19:57the bigger the transformation,
19:59the greater the trouble we're in for.
20:10Your Majesty,
20:11the legend of the Saint makes one thing very clear.
20:14That when the Saint unites herself
20:16with a member of the royal family and power.
20:26We all must accept our fates.
20:32It's absolutely perfect!
20:35Since it's on the small side,
20:38it doesn't get in my way!
20:41Even if Duke falls for the heroine one day
20:43and demands I return it,
20:44I'll never give it back!
20:46I'll look him dead in the eye
20:47and refuse like a true villainess!
20:50Just you wait, world!
20:51The big debut of the villainess
20:53who's going down in history
20:54is coming soon!
20:56The ê·¸ë ‡ê²Œing...
20:56...
