"NO, I WANT PINK NOT BLUE!" Screams a child as she fights the attempts of various maids to put the blue bows onto the child, blue bows that said child requested herself not too long ago
In an attempt to have the child understand, one maid says "But Lady Katarina, you yourself requested these bows and we do not have any pink bows in stock at the moment"
However, Katarina ignored her plea and told her maids "I have never said such a thing and you're all incompetent, in fact, consider yourselves all fired!"
Before the maids could protest, Katarina's Father arrives and Katarina's entire personality had shifted with his arrival as she suddenly became more angelic in nature, a stark contact to the bratty display from before
Katarina then rushed towards her father and embraced him in a hug, while in the hug the Claes Duke tells his daughter "Katarina, Prince Geordo has arrived along with carriage for your date"
Right cue, Geordo arrives aswell "Hello Lady Claes, I hope your as excited as I am for our date"
Katarina blushes at the sight of the boy but walks goes through with date nonetheless
The two children are now strolling through a garden, Katarina is clinging to Geordo as he trys to speak about the flowers
Eventually, Geordo comments on the clinging, stating "Lady Katarina, if there is any difficulties with your health, maybe we should take a rest or even reschedule this event"
Katarina looked somewhat mortified and claimed "You mustn't worry, Prince Geordo, my feet are merely experiencing some difficulties, but I'll be able to function perfectly with you here to help me"
While Katarina was ogling at Geordo, she noticed what looked to be a blue dinosaur from the bush
Katarina correctly identified it as a Pokémon called 'Tyrunt', a shiny Tyrunt to be specific, but had realised that the Tyrunt was glaring in annoyance at her and Geordo
Katarina, hating for any disrespect to befall her, asked Geordo "What's that thing's deal?"
Geordo explained to Katarina "That's merely a Tyrunt, he just tends to be weary of strangers" with him purposefully leaving out that the Tyrunt is his Pokémon
Katarina viewed this behavior as unacceptable and said "Well that Tyrunt shouldn't treat guests in such an inappropriate manner, especially one as important as me, that behavior of it should be throughly dealt with through any means necessary"
While Katarina was sharing her opinion, she had let go of Geordo along slightly falling behind him and so revealed her capabilities to walk, Geordo had immediately made sure to notify Katarina on this, saying "Your feet seem to be perfectly fine now, so you won't need to be clinging to me"
Upon hearing Geordo's comment, Katarina had noticed her mistake and in her panic to continue clinging to Geordo and explain her current psychical capabilities; Katarina ran towards Geordo but hadn't noticed the tail of the Tyrunt she badmouthed and so she tripped fell face flat onto the ground
The impact of the fall was so strong that it had caused Katarina to regain her memories of her past life though visions of Tree Climbing, running away from dogs and playing Otome and Pokémon games and upon witnessing all of it, Katarina had fainted from shock.
—-Katarina's Point of view—-
After fainting, I woke up to see a ton of women in maid outfits and some blond boy next to me along with a mirror across the room, I tried to remember his name and managed to figure out that his name was Geordo and that he was a prince or something
Geordo was talking about about my scar, but judging from the mirror infront of me, it didn't look too bad so I started thinking about more important matters 'Dang, I guess I'm a noble now. Do I have wear super stuffy clothes and start using utensils, so much for freedom'
I then suddenly heard Geordo say "Do you agree?"
Thanks to my years of fallling asleep in class, I instantly said "Huh? Oh yah sure" and Geordo had nodded before leaving the room
The maids in the room then suddenly started clapping so asked them "Why are you all clapping?"
"Why?-" Said one of the maids "-Because you've just been engaged Lady Katarina!"
'What… I JUST GOT MARRIED TO AN 8 YEAR OLD! No, where's the camaras? The microphone crew? Is Chris Hanson gonna appear and if so then can I at least get a pizza!'
Thankfully, a maid that I recognized as being called 'Anne' had saw my worries and had left the room along with escorting the rest of the maids out of the room and leaving me alone to process the situation
'Geordo is cute and all, but it's an "Aww, a puppy" cute, I can't be romantically attracted to an 8 year old, i'm still a 17 year old Otaku on the inside'
I then sighed and tried to think of a more positive thing about this situation 'Well, it is kinda funny that it reminds me of a game I played called Fortune Lover; a villainous fiancé had trapped a prince into an engagement as a child because of a scar she got during a playdate"
I started to feel better as I remembered how fun that game was and decided to remember more of it "now what what were their names again? oh right, Katarina Claes and Prince Geor-…wait a minute' I then felt a surge of panic and I could stop myself from blurting out "THAT'S HIM"
I then shook my head to calm myself down 'No, I can't just assume that I've been reincarnated into an otome game, I've gotta do some research first'
And so I left my room and started talking to over a dozen maids about information on me, Geordo's family and other pieces of lore and all evidence pointed towards the world being Fortune Lover
'Oh no, this isn't good, with how the research is going, it's looks like I really am doo-' I was then ripped out of my thoughts when I heard a loud thud from a window
I curiously peaked my head over to see what had caused the sound and I saw an odd looking bird on the window, it was super round and had a yellow belly with a mix of dark black and dark blue feathers surrounding the yellow feathers, the bird also had blood red eyes and I immediately recognized it as a Rookidee, aka a Pokémon
'If this is a Pokémon and there's Fortune Lover lore in this world then i'm not in Fortune Lover, I'm in Fortune Life!'
I decided that there was only one way to confirm it so I rushed a library and pulled out a dusty book on the history of Sorcier
'Depending on which game, or if it is the game world, the book should tell me if it's Fortune Lover or Fortune Life depending on what it says'
So I opened the book and read it, 'In Fortune Lover, it should say that the Stuarts had formed Sorcier thanks to their powerful fire magic'
But the Book had told the story of how the first Stuart used an alliance with a Ho-Oh to bring all other families to their knees and established the Kingdom of Sorcier, that was all the proof I needed and I confirmed that I was within the world of Fortune Life
'Okay, Fortune Life is a crossover story between Pokémon and Fortune Lover, but I didn't play the game, instead it was my older brother and everything I know about the game is from watching him play and my brother telling me about the details of the story. From what I remember, the ending for Geordo's route was slightly different for Katarina Claes, while she still gets either divorced and exiled or death, in Fortune Lover, Katarina Claes gets eaten by Geordo's Tyrantrum or slowly mauled to death by Maria's Eevee who evolves into an Umbreon in the Bad End; the results depend on the time of day with night for the Umbreon and day for the Tyrantrum'
'…THAT'S EVEN WORSE, How did they even get PG13? Was the blood white or pink like Danganronpa?'
Katarina's Doom Avoidence Council. Meeting #1
The meeting had started with Chairman Katarina stating "Okay it's official, we're the doomed Villainess, Katarina Claes, does anyone have any ideas?"
Fearless Katarina decided to start the discussion with "How about we just not get engaged?"
Fearful Katarina counters by saying "But we've already accepted the engagement so it'd be mean to reject it now" and Fearless replied with "Darn you're right"
Happy Katarina then suggests "Why can't we just not go to the academy then we won't have the Bad Ending be possible since Maria can't be bullied by us"
Smart Katarina then refutes the statement saying that "All individuals with magic must attend the Academy" and shows a clip from Fortune Lover showing an older Katarina with her dirt bump
Fearful Katarina chimes up "but Smart Katarina, we aren't in Fortune Lover, we're in Fortune Life now"
But Lore Katarina steps in to state "Not exactly, while it is true that we don't have to go to the Academy, members of Claes family unofficially have to attend or else they'll turn into a pariah among Noble society and might even get disowned or killed in rare cases, in fact there was such a case 73 years ago from now with an adop-"
Suddenly the noise Chairman Katarina's gavel can be heard across the room as she decides to tell Lore Katarina "Lore Katarina, remember that this is an emergency meeting and get to the point"
Upon hearing this, Lore Katarina nods and continues "The point is that if we don't go, we'll basically get the same result by not going to the academy, just sooner"
Hearing that avoidance won't solve their problem, Happy Katarina decides to speak up again "What about just not bullying Maria? Then there's no reason to exile or murder us"
But Fearful Katarina says "What if Geordo pins those things on us anyways, he is the sadistic and a genius prince so he might make up evidence to get out of the engagement more easily, unless he's different Fortune Life?"
Lore Katarina shakes her head to indicate that he's the exact same in the other game aswell
Suddenly, Competitive Katarina speaks up and lifts her stupid and comically large glasses like she's Smart Katarina and says "Don't you guys realize? We have what are essentially monsters to fight for us! there's no need to worry since the largest threat is in RU tier, so something like a Gardevoir totally take down the Jurassic Park reject and that edgy dog too"
But Fearful Katarina adds "But Geordo could probably just call an army of stronger Pokémon, he is a prince afterall, so maybe we should just have strong Pokémon for defense against bandits when we're exiled and for immediate defense in the Bad End as we try to negotiate exile instead"
Smart Katarina then adds to Fearful's idea, saying "We could also use the Pokémon for work aswell, like odd jobs and for traveling"
Fearless Katarina then recommends "And we should develop our sword fighting, just in case we don't have our Pokémon with us and get mugged or Geordo decides to attack "
Chairman Katarina then clears her throat to get the other's attention before saying "So, we shall try to get the strongest Pokémon possible and practice swordsman just in case, all who agree say 'Aye'"
Upon hearing it, all Katarinas say 'Aye' at the same time and so Chairman Katarina slammed her gavel and said "Then I declare this meeting, ajourned!"
—-Katarina's Point of view—-
Although my spontaneous swordsmanship had made some of the staff confused, I ignored it because I had a doom to avoid and so I trained my swordsmanship all day long and after hours of training, I was exhausted and took a well deserved rest and ate the most delicious sweets of my life
While I was resting , my personal maid, Anne, had told me "My Lady, the Duke Claes would like to see you"
I was confused but complied and had Anne lead the way to the Duke's office
In the office, the Duke had tons of papers on his desk and the Duke himself was rubbing his eyes in what seemed to be exhaustion until he saw me at the door
The Duke then said "ah, Hello there Katarina, sorry for calling you so suddenly but I wanted to tell you that you'll be going on a three day trip tommorow with your mother to receive your first Pokémon, it would be ridiculous for you to not have one while being engaged"
I nodded and said "Okay Duke Claes" and left the room and continued to rest and train until it was time to sleep.
When I had woken up, my arms were super sore from overtraining but I pushed through the pain, gathered my things and went down stairs with the luggage thanks to some helpful maids
When I had arrived to the entrance to leave, everyone there had looked shocked, but what they should be shocked about was the amount of bags Duchess Claes had packed
'I thought this was a 3 day trip, not 3 year trip'
After a moment of awkward silence, the Duchess had asked me "Katarina dear, why did you pack so little usually you bring 20 bags minimum for events such as this?"
'These bags are bigger than me!… rich people are scary' but I had to say something quick to get the gazes off my back so I just said "Oh um, I just wanted you to have enough space for your things"
The Duchess had looked at me suspiciously before dramatically opening her fan to hide her concerningly reddish face and told me "Fine, but next time, don't concern yourself with storage, after all, we are the Claes family so I can simply get another carriage for your items"
I decided that I didn't want to fight someone so terrifying so I just nodded and said "Yes Duchess Claes" and hopped on the fancy carriage
Once the maids were finished putting the bags onto the carriage, the Horse Driver Man Dude (I don't know what they're called) commanded the Mudsdale to start moving and so we headed off to get my first Pokémon
