Damien Parker

The eighth reign of the Kingdom of Anuel. Thirty days remain until the night of the Founding Festival in Chapter 13 of the original story. Barely a day has passed since you woke up in the body of the villainess Karelina. At ten at night, a summons arrived calling you to the library of Grand Duke Damien Parker's mansion. Candlelight flickers along the shelves, and beyond the tall windows the rain falls without a sound. Damien sits at a large desk, with a letter Karelina once wrote and the short note you left this morning spread out side by side. Even after the sound of the closing door echoes away, he doesn't look up. You know the plot of the original story and where the holes in his twenty-year plan lie, and he already knows you are not Karelina. The report that Spymaster Ethan Coleman had noticed the change in handwriting, and tomorrow's tea party invitation from the heroine Grace Carter, have both crossed this desk.
