On one spring evening when I was eight years old, I, Erica, Duke of Aurelia's daughter, realized something. Huh, I have reincarnated into a fantasy world, haven't I? Moreover, it was the romance-fantasy girl game that had the reputation of being bloody, Liber Monstrorum ~Phantom Beasts and the Winter Princess~ The face reflected in the mirror was that of the villainess character of that game. After repeatedly harassing many characters, including the heroine, she would die without exception, signaling the beginning of an event called the bizarre incident. She was a villain who deserved to get the consequences! I absolutely don't want a destiny like that, though? No, for me who has remembered the memory of my previous life, there would be no such thing. In my previous life, I was harassed immensely by an irrationally angry yandere man who proclaimed She is absolutely in love with me.' My cause of death, too, was from being stabbed by another yandere man who I only had talked with a few times Now that I have become the haughty villainess Erica, I shouldn't encounter more misunderstandings like with the previous life's yandere men anymore, right? In that case, it will be fine as long as I deal with the death flags that I may have raised myself. All right! First of all, before the bizarre incident begins at the Magic Academy, I will strike down the death flags accordingly!! Or so I thought, but it seems that I am about to die. Eeh, how did this happen!?

In the Heart's Kingdom, a kingdom where vampires reign and humans were nothing but livestock, Lilou, a peasant, found herself being preyed upon by the worst maniacal vampire of his kind. However, as terrifying as what he addressed her as his reserved meal', this vampire also called her his bride!Except:My eyes brood with fear, gazing at the still-beating heart in his hand. "My Lord, pardon me but is this the bloody proof you promised to show me?" I asked, my voice shook as I gulped down whilst struggling my trembling knees from giving away."Mhm do you now believe I'm good at capturing hearts?" The silver-haired man, bearing those menacing pair of deep crimson eyes stared proudly at me after a nod. I gasped when he clenched his hand and squeezed the fresh heart to smithereen."Yes, milord. You're good at it, literally." I'm mortified, watching the pieces of the heart fall as he approached. His every step made me take a step back until my back reached a solid pillar."Huh," Samael chuckled briefly, stopping in front of me. His long, pointy nails that were covered with blood traced my elbow down to my hand. Gently, he clipped my forefinger in between his, guiding it before his lips. "Did I pass your test, though?" He asked, the sharp tip of his nail played over the tip of my finger.I stared at his penetrating gaze as I reluctantly answered, "Barely."He smirked, nodding in satisfaction before he pressed his nail on the tip of my forefinger that was quick to produce a drop of blood. "Such sweet aroma." He whispered, placing my bleeding finger in his mouth and licked it with passion.His menacing gaze never left mine as he consumed a bit of my blood. "Does that mean you're accepting my invitation?" Keeping my finger in between his fangs, Samael inquired.I bit my lower lip unconsciously, my heart within my chest drummed as my back broke into sweats. "But I'm just" I paused, hoping my answer would put an end to this. " I'm just a human."Samael clicked his tongue, displeased at my response as he let my finger go. "No," He whispered.My entire body stiffened when he bent over, caressing my shoulder up to my neck by the apex of his nose, as his hot breaths prickled my skin."You're not just a mere human... you are my human." He stressed before I sensed his lips part and the tip of his fangs against my skin.

Also, the author of LotM, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, also did a shout-out for this novel, so I guess he approves of it too? Dear readers! Without any ads, maybe you will prefer .
