Reincarnated As The Villainess's Best Friend

Lucy walked alone past the lecture buildings, headed towards the east courtyard. Between her arms were two large books, which I presumed she borrowed from the library.

She walked like a true noble, with a particularly elegant gait. Despite the permanent scowl on her face, she appeared just like any other student: a calm, attractive girl trying to focus on her studies.

But I knew better.

She was the Shadow Queen.

Well, not yet. But soon enough.

In my past life, she murdered ruling nobles in cold blood and wiped out an entire city.

But here she was. Young, naive, and truly adorable.

Part of me wanted to let her be. But the other part couldn’t let her destroy the world again.

I had to take her out, and the best time to do it was at a young age, when she was most vulnerable.

Theo was somewhere close by, lurking, waiting patiently for my signal to make the kill move.

So, I quickened my pace to catch up to her before she reached the outer fence of the female nobles’ dorm.

But before I could reach her, something else happened.
