I Thought It Was a Common Transmigration

‘I can’t do this. It’s a little early, but I’ll have to feature Sophia.’

 

Feeling impatient, Lise twisted the original story slightly and had Edith and Shane run into each other. As expected, Edith rebelled against Shane, and a few days later, Shane led Sophia into the Duke’s residence.

 

‘If you rebel, Sophia will never let you go, so you will definitely help the Rigelhof family plot like Edith in the original.’

 

There has never been an Edith who did not give in to violence. So she tried to save Sophia’s appearance until the very end, but Killian’s emotional changes were much larger than expected, so she had no choice but to make her appear early. But surprisingly, Edith did not give in to Sophia either.

 

‘Are you crazy?’

 

Lise was greatly shocked by Edith’s defiance, even starving herself, after being beaten by Sophia.

 

‘What on earth is she doing that for?’

 

Even though she was going through such a hard time, Edith wasn’t trying to reveal her situation. Edith was always arrogant in front of Killian.

 

‘Ha! That doesn’t change the original.’

 

Lise smiled like an angel as she looked at the hungry Edith staring blankly at the peach pie. The ‘Poison Cake Incident’ that appeared in the original work was quickly transformed into the ‘Poison Pie Incident’. Edith, who woke up after taking poison, stopped Sophia, saying she was only pretending to somehow escape the situation, but the episode that had already started did not stop. As in the original, Cliff searched the room and found a bottle of poison, and Edith was suspected of having staged the play.

 

‘Okay, give up now, Edith.’

 

Although Lise put on the mask of an angel and rescued Edith, she expected Edith to despair in a situation that was no different from the original. Even though she met the first exception conditions, she still despaired of her situation. So when Edith brought her ‘embroidery thread’ as a gift, Lise thought it was poisoned, just like the original. Although she soon became disappointed, of course.

 

‘I know you’re trying, but I’m sorry, but it’s no use. You will die as a villain, and I will forever remain as the main character.’

 

Lise, who secretly laughed at Edith, poisoned her embroidery thread and embroidered it in front of her maids who would act as witnesses, and soon she collapsed, her face turning pale. Not only Cliff but also Duke Ludwig were very angry, believing that it was Edith’s plot, but Killian ran to Edith first. Although she was sad about Killian’s change of heart, who had never set his eyes on a woman other than Lise, she thought that Killian would soon return to her. But another strange thing happened.

 

“Edith is adamant that she is not the criminal. Actually, it’s a pretty credible rebuttal.”

 

Cliff, who returned from a meeting about this incident, said with a bitter expression:

 

“It’s ‘revenge’ that was carried out so immediately after the poison pie incident, but it’s rather strange. Edith knows very well that she is the one who will be most suspected.”

 

In the original work, Edith was still suspected, but the logical attitude that the 13th Edith had maintained as she maintained her innocence moved the hearts of the Ludwig family.

 

“Besides, Edith wants me to prove that she is innocent, and she has asked my family’s maid to be her watchdog. Killian immediately assigned Anna to be Edith’s maid again. The fact that she’s protesting so much makes me think she’s not her culprit.”

 

Edith even tried to find a way to stop Sophia’s assault.

 

‘This is why it’s not worth it for me to take the poison!’

 

Thanks to the power of the original author, the pain was greatly reduced, but the radius of action was greatly reduced, which was a loss to Lise in many ways. And again a few days later, the Duke, Cliff, and Killian tentatively concluded that Edith was not the culprit. The Count Sinclair family, which should not have been released yet, was even pointed out as the mastermind, so Lise had no choice but to sue the authorities to bury this incident in order to prevent the original work from being further distorted.

 

* * *

 

After the first stage exception conditions were met, she couldn’t really know what happened between Killian and Edith, but what happened was that Killian ended up kicking Sophia out to Rigelhof. Seeing that there was no opposition from the Rigelhof family, it seemed like Killian had figured it out correctly. In addition, Edith began to recruit extras, as if she had noticed that the less important the supporting role was, the less influenced it was by the original work. That wasn’t the only thing that made her anxious.

 

[Please specify the level 2 exception condition. If not specified by the deadline, Edith Ludwig is automatically considered to have met the level 3 exception conditions.]

 

The system warning has been going on for some time now. Against this Edith, the conditions for stage 2 could not be set arbitrarily, so Rize held out until the end of the deadline. Lise gritted her teeth while his hands trembled slightly.

 

‘Fun… Yeah, this is an interesting situation.’

 

Lise, who pretended not to be afraid, thought about the conditions that Edith would never be able to meet, and at the end of her thoughts, Killian came to mind.

 

‘Edith’s biggest weakness… It must be that she loves Killian.’

 

Lise smiled in remorse and set the second stage conditions.

 

[Stage 2 Exception Condition: Reject Killian Ludwig’s offer ten times.]

 

Although it was a condition that had never been specified before, Lise was confident. 

Because no one could refuse a sweet offer from the person one loves. She then asked Killian, who had stopped by, to deliver the news that Sophia had been kicked out.

 

“Please take good care of Edith.”

 

“…what?”

 

“Just like when you comforted me, we drank tea together, took a walk, and talked…”

 

Killian, who she thought would be embarrassed, surprisingly nodded easily. Although the change was undesirable, it meant that Edith would never be able to meet Step 2 and would continue to act contrary to the conditions, thereby strengthening the flow of the original work. Lise sent her condolences in advance to Edith, who would be very happy with Killian thanks to her. However, things did not go as Lise wanted.

 

“It seems like Edith is avoiding me these days.”

 

Killian, who had come to visit her, muttered with a bitter look on his face. 

 

“What’s going on, Killian? Edith is avoiding Killian?”

 

“Like you said, I have recommended various things to Edith.”

 

“Yes. But what?”

 

“…They were all rejected.”

 

“Yes?”

 

Lise was so surprised that she almost jumped up.

 

‘Nonsense. How on earth did you recommend it?’

 

By gently coaxing Killian, Lise was able to figure out how he recommended Edith. They were all ‘suggestions for the sake of suggestions.’

 

“Killian. A woman’s heart is delicate. Edith probably thought Killian was saying something he didn’t mean.”

 

“What? Why?”

 

“Recall the suggestions Killian made. I don’t get the feeling that Killian wants to be with Edith at all.”

 

“…is it?”

 

“You have never offered anything like that to me. Never.”

 

Killian seemed inwardly shocked.

 

“Rather than thinking, ‘I’ll hang out with you,’ make an offer with the mindset that you really want to be with Edith.”

 

“Umm… okay. Thank you for the advice, Lise.”

 

Killian returned with an embarrassed look on his face.

 

‘Phew. I almost got in big trouble. No, this is not the time to be relieved. I need to call Edith and talk about it.’

 

Lise hurriedly called Edith as well. Edith rushed over with an expression of no hesitation and was concerned about Lise’s health. Lise just smiled at Edith’s incomprehensible joke and then glanced at Edith.

 

“By the way, Edith. By any chance, do you feel sorry for Killian? …No, of course there must be something. There may have been…”

 

“Oh, no! I have nothing against Killian, not even his fingernails.”

 

When asked if she was upset with Killian, Edith waved her hand and wrapped her arms around Killian.

 

“Killian is a pitiful person… In the end, making various suggestions to me now will probably be something he is forced to do because of his position.”

 

However, Lise thought that Edith was very upset with Killian.

 

‘You’re pretending to be nice. Killian, who has been disappointing you for so long, has been making various suggestions on the contrary, so I guess she wants to take this opportunity to get revenge.’

 

She could understand the feeling of wanting to bounce, but it was difficult like this. Lise held Edith’s hand tightly and persuaded her.

 

“That’s not true, Edith. Killian is opening his heart to Edith. And he is trying to become friendly with Edith.”

 

Edith seemed to be half-way through Lise’s detailed persuasion. However, rather than producing results, Lise’s efforts brought about the worst situation.

 

[Level 2 exception conditions have been met. Exceptions arise and the rights of the original author are reduced. Stage 2 exception conditions will disappear.]

 

It was faster than expected. Edith, who she initially thought would never be able to refuse Killian’s offer, ended up rejecting it 10 times, wondering what on earth she was thinking.

 

‘Killian is Killian, what should I do if you keep suggesting it without stopping!’

 

Lise tried to blame Killian, but in this situation, it was meaningless to judge whether he was right or wrong. Rather, the more serious problem was that the stage 2 exception conditions were met for the first time since K possessed Lise, and Killian was about 70% free from Lise’s control.

 

‘Headache’, which was a hindrance whenever he tried to deviate from the original work, has also been significantly reduced in its probability of occurrence.

 

‘No. I have to be the main character here until the end. I won’t let the story I wrote fall apart!’

 

Lise clenched her fists and made a promise. From now on, it was a fight with no time to spare. In addition to setting a three-level exception condition that Edith could never meet, Lise had to directly intervene and twist the story so that Edith would die as a villain.

 

‘A condition that Edith will never be able to meet…’

 

Lise thought for a long time. It was a long struggle to explore this system, characters, and even the beings possessed by it. In the end, at the end of that thought, Lise realized that what he believed in was not coincidence and luck, but the nature of existence.
