I Possessed The Villain’s Childhood Friend

1 – Ike Axus

Characters from ‘She Heals a Wounded World’ Ike Access.

He is, simply put, a minor role.

If I remember correctly, I only appeared in 300 or so episodes.

All of them also appeared for the description of the character ‘Reina Rogelia’.

In terms of setting, he is the second son of the ‘Axus Family’, the duke of the ‘Astraia Empire’, which is the background of the work.

A childhood friend of Reina Roselia, the eldest daughter of the ‘Duke of Roselia’.

To be precise, it was a situation where both families were used as a political tool, but it is said that the relationship was not bad.

Until Raina got entangled with the female lead.

In the first one, Ike, who has an honest personality and can’t stand injustice by targeting knights, appeared as stopping Reina from bullying the heroine.

The second appeared in the form of advising Reina to bend her pride over her futility.

The third time, the identity of the heroine was revealed and she appeared walking with her back to the isolated Raina.

His simple setting was only briefly described in the scene where the heroine and the crown prince talk, and there was no further appearance.

In a way, it was the most suitable part for a minor role.

Well, because of his personality and role, he was quite popular for a minor role.

And that Ike Axus was me right now.

“You are really engaged to the crown prince?”

“Yes.”

Reina was glaring at me with cold eyes, which made me repeat her words several times.

It was exactly the same as the picture of her portrayed in the work.

Cold, confident, lofty.

It was understandable that even insignificant criticisms and criticisms seemed to be bullying to the readers.

“The announcement is the ball at the imperial palace next month. You would have come to know naturally, but since I have already told you, I will inform you in advance.”

“… Are you okay?”

Unbeknownst to me, such a question naturally came out of my mouth.

“What do you mean?”

Then Reina tilted her head, asking what kind of question that was.

“You don’t even know who you are or what kind of person you are. Is it okay if your future is decided like that?”

When Reina and the crown prince’s engagement is concluded, in the end, she is the only one who is hurt by her future.

Because I know that, I asked the question with sincere concern.

Then Reina frowned at her for a moment, then she slowly opened her mouth.

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“Huh?”

“An arranged marriage is a duty for nobles. Of course, from her second son or daughter onwards, it is said that they are quite lenient in that regard, but in the end, it is only natural to be engaged to a noble of some degree of name in order to continue to maintain the family’s power. Right now, even my parents are married through arranged marriages. Because that’s noble.”

“So you’re saying you’re okay too?”

I wanted to tell you everything.

I wanted to let you know that you will eventually be abandoned and die alone.

I wanted to teach you the reality.

“Did I tell you? A noble’s arranged marriage is a duty. Personal feelings are not very important.”

But I couldn’t tell.

“In addition, the crown prince is now called one of the greatest geniuses in the history of the empire. It must be a happy thing to be able to marry such a person. It’s what all noble families want.”

Reina said that.

“Well, I can roughly understand what you mean. The way he speaks is strange for some reason, but he must have been worried about me as always.”

It was a little bit, but he was smiling.

The Reina Rogelia I knew was not a smiling character.

An icy woman who is always cold, confident, and aloof.

She Even in her own biography, her smiling face is not depicted at all.

She wanted happiness more than anyone else, but to Raina, joy was an emotion that was not allowed.

Actually, she must have been an ordinary girl in her heart.

Knowing that fact, her smile was so dazzling.

“Thank you.”

I know that I am not laughing because I am genuinely happy right now.

That was a laugh to reassure me of my worries.

It was a very subtle, bitter smile that made me wonder if the corners of my mouth had gone up.

Nevertheless, it was so shiny and beautiful.

Unbeknownst to me, I lost my mind.

There is a saying that the person who falls in love first loses.

Then I can’t beat Reina for the rest of my life.

Because I already liked you a long time ago.

You were the first character I was immersed in after reading the article, and thanks to that, I was able to endure my nursing life.

Yes. You were the driving force of my life.

So now it’s my turn to repay you.

It reminded me of wanting her character, Raina, to have a happy world as well.

If it were me now, it was definitely a wish that could come true.

Then I will create a future where you can be happy.

That was the first goal I set after coming here.

★

The first thing I did after setting a goal was to organize all my knowledge in this world.

It was already several years ago that I read ‘She heals a wounded world.’

So the memories were vague, as if there were holes here and there, but that was no reason to stop.

“The Crown Prince and the heroine are not bad people.”

These two people made Raina unhappy, but they become heroes who saved the world in the end.

In other words, it means that they are essential to the story.

Above all, the heroines were people who tried to understand Reina to the end.

When everyone was criticizing and harassing Reina, she didn’t get into her flow as much as she did.

There is no need to confront.

“And Ike’s role is a device to express Reina’s loneliness.”

But I wonder if he will follow that kind of role.

All I want is a future where Raina can be happy.

If that’s impossible, it means nothing to me.

“What I can do with the knowledge I have is….”

In the midst of thinking about various ways, the perfect answer suddenly passed through my head.

Remember Reina’s feelings in the side story.

What she really wanted was to live happily with the person she loved.

The person Reina loved was the crown prince.

It was a fate that led to an arranged marriage, but Reina truly loved the crown prince.

Then there is a very simple way.

The relationship between the crown prince and the heroine was obviously an important part of the story, but it had little to do with how they became heroes.

In other words, you can prevent the marriage breakup between Reina and the prince and connect the two.

And that wouldn’t be difficult with the knowledge I have.

Because I know why the crown prince falls for the heroine.

“Your Highness is making her social debut next week at the ball in the imperial palace, right?”

“Yes. Some say it’s too late, but most don’t care. Because there was a good reason.”

This was the third time I met Reina.

I meet her every Monday at 8:30.

We talked for about 2 hours and parted ways.

We didn’t have a specific topic, just meeting each other and talking about anything.

“A good reason?”

“Your Highness has been suffering from demon fever for a long time.”

Come to think of it, there was such a setting.

The crown prince, one of the greatest geniuses in the empire, has had too many innate magical powers since he was a child.

So he suffered from high fever for a long time until his body fully adapted to magic, and he was unable to do anything.

“A straight engagement declaration from his socialite debut.”

“It must be to put an end to the distrust related to the Highness that has spread in the world.”

Reina said that and slowly drank the tea.

And while I watched Reina like that, I quietly opened her mouth.

“… Now that you’re engaged, wouldn’t it be better for you to change a little too?”

“Hmm?”

At my unexpected words, Reina put down her teacup and glared at me.

“What does that mean?”

There was clearly a sense of intimidation in her gaze as she demanded an explanation.

She was like Reina, the so-called Ice Princess.

“That’s right. Something like that.”

But I wasn’t nervous at all.

“You know that. How you are called among people.”

“… A nickname for Ice Princess?”

“Yes. You know it doesn’t mean that well, right? You’re going to become the crown princess in the future, wouldn’t it be better if that image disappeared?”

Reina frowned at my answer for a moment.

But that did not tarnish her appearance.

Rather, even the figure felt like a painting.

She said that beauty is beautiful no matter how you look at it.

“Hmm.”

The atmosphere of Reina, who is called the Ice Princess, was so cold that she would get goosebumps if she did something wrong.

But the reason I was able to think such nonsensical things in front of her was because she knew that it wasn’t all about her.

“If you are in a position to become the Crown Princess, an image that is familiar to the citizens will be better.”

“Honestly, I don’t think it’s necessary. In the first place, the imperial family knew what kind of person I was and approached them. There is no need for me to change.”

After finishing her thoughts, Reina calmly spoke out her thesis.

“… But there must be a reason why you say that.”

It was a success.

Everything was as expected.

It’s been 3 weeks since I came to her world from ‘She heals a wounded world.’

I spent time researching various things for future plans.

And thanks to that, I was able to learn an important fact.

It was that Reina was quite soft on Ike.

Even if we have a conversation on the same subject, I listen more carefully to Ike’s words.

Even if I make a similar suggestion, Ike’s will take precedence.

Above all, Ike was the only one she talked about, including her family.

In other words, if I worked hard enough, I could lead Reina to her best future.

“Specifically, how would you like me to change?”

“A little bit fatter? Don’t just be expressionless every day. Yes, it would be okay to laugh once in a while.”

“This is a natural personality, but…. I will try.”

Her innate personality and her words and actions as a noble learned from a young age made her the Ice Princess, Reina.

And the solitude she had in her future, I thought, came mostly from that character.

If you change that even a little, wouldn’t the worst be avoided?

This story was a suggestion based on that thought.

“Then, shall we just wake up?”

Looking at the clock, the hour hand was pointing to 11:00.

I was full of regret, but I couldn’t hold on to Reina.

Unlike me, who is quite leisurely because I am the second son of the duchy, as the eldest daughter of the duchy, she had considerable responsibilities.

“Let’s see next week at the imperial palace.”

“Yes.”

I started training with swordsmanship and magic that I had become accustomed to.

I had a lot of worries because it was a previous life that had nothing to do with sports, but this body was healthy enough to lightly blow away those worries.

“Whoa.”

After the training was over, I immediately opened the book.

Even if you knew the future, knowledge was essential.

I know the story, but I’m a total stranger to this world.

Starting from the founding of the Empire, the current continental territory, the history of the Duke of Axus, various systems, and more.

I explored all the knowledge I thought was necessary.

So that, no matter what happens to Reina, she is ready to help.

I always had that kind of mindset.

If my memory is correct, an incident occurs at the ball where the crown prince makes his debut, and through that, Reina falls in love with her.

Of course, it would be solved if I stayed still, but I wanted to completely rule out any potential threats.

I had to become a little bit stronger, and I needed to know more.

Because I don’t know how the future will change because of my existence.

And time passed in an instant, and the day of the prom was right in front of us.
