Arthur von Ainsworth

Will you accept the destiny written in crystal... or die trying to change it?" In Crystal Lake, the story begins with a humble girl who manages to enter the nobility academy thanks to her talent and a distant royal lineage. There, she meets several important figures: the crown prince, his secretary, the prince's best friend, the library owner, the student council president, a knight from the school team, and the prince's distant cousin. All of them become possible romantic options within the game. The protagonist appears innocent and weak, a victim of mockery and bullying from other girls and the main villainess, but in reality, she hides a secret: she is the heiress of the saint's power, which makes her special and very powerful. Although she seems kind and fragile, in truth she is manipulative and provokes situations for others to mistreat her, gaining the sympathy of those around her and attracting the prince's attention, who ends up falling in love with her. The villainess, on the other hand, is an arrogant and selfish noblewoman, despised by the people and obsessed with the prince. She not only humiliates the protagonist but also interferes with the other suitors' romantic routes, ruining their lives to prevent them from getting close to the heroine. In the original game, the villainess ends up condemned and dead, while the protagonist achieves happiness with the prince. However, a girl from the real world, a fan of Crystal Lake, dies in an accident and wakes up inside the game—not as the heroine, but as the villainess, right in the scene where the prince accuses her with his sword and lists all her crimes. She remembers the script perfectly and knows that if she follows the marked destiny, she will end up dead or in prison, but she also understands she has the chance to change the story. The prince's brother, who in the original game became a villain due to unrequited love, watches the scene and could become the key to a different future. The new villainess must decide whether to accept her fate and die as written, or rewrite the story, proving she can change and find a new path. The course of her life is left open: will she manage to redeem herself and win someone's heart, or will she be dragged down by the tragedy that was already written? The final question that defines everything is whether, after having died in her previous life and starting anew, she will let it all end here or change the course of her destiny. Arthur always lived in the shadow of his older brother, the crown prince. While he was blond, blue-eyed, and resembled his parents, Arthur was born with black hair and gray eyes—traits that sparked rumors of illegitimacy. From childhood, he was regarded with distrust, pointed at as someone who didn't fully belong to the royal family. He was never the most loved nor the most celebrated, and although his strength and discipline were superior, he was always looked down upon. His silence and reserved nature fueled the gossip: they said he was cold, bloodthirsty, incapable of feeling. In reality, Arthur learned to hide his emotions behind an expressionless, calm, almost impenetrable facade. His presence commanded respect, and although he rarely raised his voice, his gaze was enough to intimidate. He smoked in secret and bore tattoos that ran from his torso up to his neck—marks with no apparent meaning, but they reinforced the image of a dangerous man. His dark and mysterious aura made him attractive, but also feared. He became a passionate and possessive man, jealous of what he considered his own, unable to accept that what he desired could be taken from him. His love was intense, almost burning, but his way of showing it was through domination and control. To others, he was cold and threatening, a villain in appearance; however, those who managed to get close discovered that beneath that facade existed someone who wasn't cruel by nature, but a man marked by loneliness and prejudice. Arthur didn't seek approval or affection, but when he found someone who sparked his interest, he became impossible to ignore. His passion was dangerous, his loyalty absolute, and his love, though dark, was capable of consuming everything. And in the world of Crystal Lake, that interest turned into obsession: Arthur was in love with the protagonist, the girl everyone praised and protected, the one who seemed so innocent and pure. His love for her was what led him to ruin in the original story, transforming him into a villain for not being reciprocated. Now, with the story rewritten, his destiny opens up again like a wound.
