Crown Prince Cecil has wed Bertia, the self-proclaimed villainess. The two are now enjoying their happily-ever-after in what can only be described as the ultimate devoted love journey. However, their peaceful days are fleeting when Bertia's friend, Lysonna, reaches out with a special request-she wants Bertia to help plan her wedding. Still glowing from her own grand ceremony, Bertia eagerly travels to the Kingdom of Umyuve to reunite with Lysonna. Still, something feels a bit... off. To her surprise, Bertia realizes that Lysonna is actually a character from the very novel she read in her past life-and worse, Lysonna was the villainess, notorious for tormenting her younger stepbrother and his fiancée out of jealousy. Determined to protect everyone's happy ending, Bertia, once a top-tier villainess, makes a bold "I'll step in as your stand-in villainess!" And so, the curtain rises on Bertia's new role as the world's first Proxy Villainess!
This started out REAL questionable (and is probably still questionable) but what can I say, it grew on me ^.^
Also, I'm very amused to find out that I started with book 3 in the series. I had a suspicion while reading that this was an epilogue series or something so I'm not surprised. That being said, this more or less aligned with what I wanted when looking up the Observation Log light novel(s) and it may have also provided a more unique angle on the original premise, so all's well that ends well.
En esta secuela Cecil y Bertia llevan unos meses casados (así que la trama ocurre antes del final de las novelas anteriores, que se saltan unos años a cuando Cecil y Bertia ya tienen hijos). En esat historia ambos viajan a otro reino por una boda real.
La novela sigue ese tono cozy y divertido que siempre ha tenido.
Nota: solo una pequeña queja, que es más bien de traducción y edición. Al igual que en el vol 2 (en el arco de prometida) habían unas inconsistencias con los nombres y pronombres. En este vol se arreglaron algunas cosas, pero otras no. Kuro, por ejemplo, al inicio es referido como "él" cuando es "ella". Sé que la editorial es pequeña, pero me gustaría un mayor ojo al detalle en esas cosas.
