Your Highness, May I Have a Word

Synopsis

I was supposed to be feared as a villainess—so why is my destined partner coming after me like this!? Lucia de Calderone, a marquis’s daughter with an icy beauty, is dreaded by those around her as a ruthless villainess. After being branded incompetent during the Magical Appraisal Ceremony, she is abruptly and one-sidedly dumped by the Second Prince, Dino, who declares their engagement annulled. But Lucia isn’t shaken in the slightest—because she’s confident she can turn the tables, even from such a hopeless disadvantage. By her side stands a strikingly handsome young man watching her with clear amusement…! He is Claude, a powerful noble from a neighboring kingdom whose influence even surpasses that of the Second Prince. Realizing that Lucia is only pretending to be a villainess, Claude takes an immediate interest in her. “What an interesting young lady! I like you.” With that, he boldly closes the distance—fast! But wait! I just want to solve the incident, that’s all!? Despite her cool, unshakable exterior, Lucia has zero resistance when it comes to romance, leaving her completely flustered…!?
