Rebecca Twins.

The ex-wife of Cedric and a remarkable woman who would make him lose his temper if she were a woman.

As a villainous supporting character, she only briefly appears at the beginning of the novel.

And even then, only in the role of helping ‘Camilla’, her former maid and the true villainess of this novel.

Why does she only appear at the beginning?

That’s because early in the novel, Rebecca is forcibly divorced from Cedric and locked up in a high tower.

‘Although she was a villainous supporting character… by my standards, she was much crazier than the villainess Camilla.’

Rebecca’s obsession with Cedric was beyond imagination.

Extremely possessive, she wanted to know everything about her husband Cedric.

And she hated anyone who approached him, regardless of gender or status.

In short, an incredibly obsessive maniac.

There was one area where Rebecca’s obsession reached its peak……

None other than their ‘marital relations’.

But Cedric, thoroughly tired of Rebecca’s obsession, would never agree to her proposals.

To make Cedric comply with marital relations, she eventually summoned a black magician and was caught in the act of killing a half-demon as a sacrifice.

To think that the wife of Duke Twins, who was virtually the leader of the half-demon clan, would kill a half-demon to use as a sacrifice.

That incident, which could shake Cedric’s solid position, blew away his last remaining mercy.

Because of that incident, Rebecca was forcibly divorced from Cedric and locked in a windowless tower, not appearing until the latter part of the novel.

‘If it ended there, it would have been fortunate, right?’

Camilla, the true villainess of this novel, continues to commit all sorts of evil acts afterwards to make the female lead Robelia unhappy.

But the problem was…..

From then on, ‘Rebecca’s father’, Duke Bold, helps the villainess Camilla in her evil deeds.

When this fact is later revealed, Cedric’s anger finally explodes.

In the process of punishing the villainess Camilla and Duke Bold, he learns that his ex-wife Rebecca had helped them for a long time before being locked in the tower.

In the end, misunderstanding that it was all instigated by Rebecca to regain her position as the Duchess, Cedric imposes a special punishment on her as well.

‘She barely appears in the novel, just locked up in the tower the whole time, what kind of misfortune is that!’

Now that I’ve put myself in Rebecca’s position, I felt wronged, but…..

It was perhaps natural that the blame fell on Rebecca, who was Duke Bold’s daughter and had helped the villainess Camilla’s evil deeds until the early part of the novel.

“I will not punish anyone who personally executes this woman, whoever they may be, if they bear a grudge against Rebecca.”

As soon as Cedric made that declaration, countless half-demons gathered under the tower where Rebecca was imprisoned.

They broke down the tower, shot flaming arrows, and hurled words of curse.

Rebecca’s deranged laughter and last words as her face melted in the flames still give me chills even now.

“Hic! Kuhuk….. Cedric is forever… my man….. Kukuk!”

It was a passage that revealed Rebecca’s pathological obsession with Cedric.

Midway through the novel, the female lead Robelia, who didn’t know the details of the situation, worried that Cedric might not be able to forget his ex-wife Rebecca.

At that time, Cedric said this:

“If heaven and hell really exist, I’m determined to go to heaven. Because that woman will surely be in hell.”

In summary, to Cedric, Rebecca was ‘a woman he didn’t want to meet even after death’.

* * *

On the second day of being left alone in an unfamiliar place.

Though it still doesn’t feel real, I had no choice but to accept that I had fallen into the world of the novel.

And into the novel I had been deeply immersed in reading for a while.

The main plot of the original work was like this:

One day, the female lead Robelia witnesses her best friend, the villainess Camilla, in an affair with her husband Henry.

‘Just like my situation before the possession.’

However, the adulterous cockroaches in the novel were much more brazen.

They even tried to kill Robelia who was trying to endure until the end to protect her family.

Robelia flees and reaches the forest of the demon realm. And there she meets Cedric, who was already divorced from Rebecca.

The sensual, affectionate, capable, and even sexually proficient Northern Duke of mixed demon lineage.

‘Of course, Robelia was already the mistress of a count’s family, but for her second husband to be the owner of the Northern Duchy where she lived… That’s like winning the lottery.’

With that encounter, Robelia becomes the tutor for Cedric’s late-born younger sister Bianca.

And so Robelia develops love with Cedric and turns her fate around…

‘But why me? I also witnessed my husband and best friend rolling around together, didn’t I? So why am I possessing a villainous supporting character!’

A feeling of resentment washed over me.

Not even the ordinary villainess Camilla, but the obsessive maniac crazy dog Rebecca.

Rebecca, who stays quietly locked in the tower while the main characters develop their love, and in the end dies engulfed in flames due to others’ mistakes!

“Hah… This is really annoying.”

I gulped down the champagne I had asked the maid for earlier in one go. And suddenly glared at the ceiling.

No, to be precise, I glared at the god that would be beyond it.

‘Wow, isn’t this too much? Where did my precious five hundred won that I threw into the fountain go!’

After inwardly grumbling, I leaned back on the sofa, trying to suppress my anger.

A sigh escaped my lips involuntarily.

“Here, one more glass of champagne.”

It was still bright daylight.

But what did I care.

‘I might be locked in a tower and die at any time, so shouldn’t I drink lots of expensive alcohol before that?’

I anxiously waited for the champagne to arrive, shaking one leg.

Alcohol was desperately needed to shake off the anxiety and find inner peace.

But even after ten minutes, the maid who had gone to fetch the champagne did not return.

“Geez, it’s taking really long.”

I unconsciously muttered to myself.

But for some reason, at the same time, the shoulders of the maids all started trembling in unison.

Not only that.

They tried to avoid my gaze with pale faces.

Well. Rebecca’s jealousy and tyranny wouldn’t have spared the servants either, so in a way it was an understandable reaction.

‘It’s best not to even make eye contact with a crazy dog, right.’

Regardless, I sprawled out on the sofa and waited for the champagne.

‘This damn Duke’s castle. Unnecessarily large, it takes this long just to bring a glass of champagne….’

At that moment, a tremendous idea flashed through my mind.

“That’s right! Why didn’t I think of that?”

I jumped up from my seat, exclaiming to myself without realizing.

‘I just need to divorce Cedric quickly! Of my own will, before being forcibly divorced and locked in the tower!’

If I divorce Cedric and lose my usefulness, neither Camilla nor Duke Bold would look for me anymore.

Then my relationship with the two villains would naturally grow distant, and there would be no more reasons to incur Cedric’s hatred.

‘Besides, since I’m leaving of my own accord, even if their evil deeds are revealed later, there won’t be any misunderstanding that I instigated it to regain the Duchess position, right?’

I had roughly found my goal.

Next was to gauge when in the original work this current time period was.

‘Since Cedric and I are still married, and my maid Camilla has gone on a month-long vacation alone…’

My maid and the true villainess of the original work, Camilla.

She must be secretly meeting with Robelia’s husband Henry at their travel destination right now, whispering words of illicit love.

In the original work, even after they returned from their trip, the female lead Robelia didn’t know about it for quite a while.

And the novel begins when Robelia witnesses their adultery scene…

‘So this must be long before the original work begins.’

It was extremely fortunate for me. Divorcing Cedric as soon as possible would be advantageous for me in many ways.

‘And if I behave quietly after the divorce, even if the evil deeds of my father Duke Bold and the villainess Camilla are revealed, Cedric might spare my life.’

Moreover, since Rebecca was also a Duchess, an enormous divorce settlement was sure to pour in.

The walls, ceiling, furniture. Gold plating on every visible edge, and artwork that looked obviously expensive.

Overflowing luxurious dresses and shoes, accessories, jewels.

All of these came from the vast wealth of the Twins Duchy.

Moreover, since I would be giving him the divorce he wanted, Cedric wouldn’t be stingy with money.

‘This is much more profitable than divorcing that husband who earned ten million won in five years in my previous life.’

If I just divorce, I won’t have to die, and I can enjoy a rich single life.

‘Just being rich and single?’

Rebecca was an extraordinarily beautiful woman.

Glossy red hair and beautiful features that exuded nobility.

Milky white skin and a smooth, slender figure.

If there was a flaw, it might be that her sharp eyes made her look a bit fierce, but she was still undeniably beautiful.

‘Rich, pretty, and young too. If I just divorce, I can meet all the men I want and live comfortably.’

I no longer wanted a married life of looking at only one man.

Of course, there was a time when I considered it happiness to stay by each other’s side for life with the person I loved.

However, such beliefs all shattered the moment I witnessed my husband and friend’s adultery a few days ago.

‘After divorcing, I’ll just enjoy dating this man and that man freely without settling for one man. Responsibility or duty? To hell with that.’

I no longer wanted to sacrifice for anyone but myself.

I’ll pour all the money I have only for myself and my pleasure.

‘That shining life begins right from the divorce with Cedric!’

Of course, there was one thing that bothered me.

The half-demons’ grudge against Rebecca seemed too deep… for it to be just because of the black magic sacrifice incident.

Probably Rebecca’s words and actions, showing not even a hint of remorse from the sacrifice incident until she was locked in the tower, fueled their resentment.

However, I soon dismissed that worry as well, since I had no intention whatsoever of sacrificing them in the first place.

‘Should I ask for a mansion near the seaside as part of the settlement? Weekend parties in the garden overlooking the sea?’

Just as my lips were curling up involuntarily, a shadow fell over the table in front of me.

I looked up to see a maid standing with a pale face.

“You-Your Highness. I’ve brought the champagne you asked for…”

The maid said, clutching the champagne glass on the tray with trembling hands.

‘I must be quite scary.’

She looked like she was still in her late teens or just over twenty.

She gripped the champagne glass tightly, but unfortunately, the trembling was visible.

And then she finally had an accident.

The champagne glass slipped from her hand soaked with sweat.

Crash—!

As the crystal glass shattered, champagne splashed onto the hem of my dress.

“Uh… uh…”

The maid looked like she couldn’t believe what she had done.

When our eyes met, her face turned deathly pale.

“Hee… heek!”

She even let out a strange scream while shaking her body.

At the same time, two small horn-like things rose up on the maid’s head.

No… they were real horns.

“Wh-what? What’s that?”

The young maid touched her head with trembling hands, her expression saying ‘It can’t be.’

As soon as she confirmed the horns on her head, the maid’s complexion turned from white to blue.

At the same time, other maids who had been observing the situation from around the bedroom began to leave the room all at once.

‘Where are they all suddenly going?’

As I blinked in confusion, the young maid fell to her knees on the floor with a thud and bowed her head.

“Aah! I’m sorry, Your Highness! Please, just don’t cut off my horns!”
