When the protagonist received art lessons in the past, she always wanted to create paintings she could display in an exhibition like the one she was visiting. She gave up because her skills were awful, though. Anyway, she was getting used to these works because they did not look so bad anymore to her.
Maybe it was because she was a horrible artist. One thing the protagonist likes about these arts and that timeline is that these artists were not judged based on skill alone. Some used a unique technique, while others drew a pipe and said that it was not a pipe, and that made their audience think about how to view the art.
On the day the protagonist was visiting a museum just to get used to it, she came across this museum where the artwork grants people their wishes. She does not believe in it, but as she is there, she tells herself that she might as well give it a go to celebrate this visit to the museum.
The protagonist prays to the painting, asking for a new life that is unlike anything she has experienced. All of a sudden, she witnesses the lady in the painting smiling. Then, a museum staff comes to the protagonist and tells her not to touch museum art pieces like that.
At that moment, some mysterious power from the painting sucked her inside, and then the protagonist lost consciousness. The protagonist then woke up in an unfamiliar place. It was a room filled with paintings, and the moment she looked in the mirror, memories flooded her head.
Not her memories but Viola Helena’s. Memories of the true owner of this body. There was a romance novel beside her and the title of that book was ‘Red Roses Await A Vilainess’s Demise’. Surprisingly, Viola Helena was one of the characters in the novel.
As a prominent antagonist, Viola Helena met a devastating end. She coveted the female lead’s lover and envied everything about her. Viola Helena’s role ended when her life was taken by the male lead. This is when the protagonist realizes that she is now in this novel as the character Viola Helena herself.
Well, it was true that this was unlike anything she had ever experienced, so this meant that the art piece at the museum had fulfilled her dream!
Recap
His Grace visits Viola Helena’s art room and asks her if this is the kind of model she wanted him to be a model for when she made that request. Viola Helena tells him that there is no motive behind her request and she had purely asked him for artwork.
He then asks her if she had dreamt of doing that kind of thing with him as well, to which Viola Helena replies negatively. She tells him that she is 90% positive and the remaining 10 percent is not important.
His Grace just laughs it out and jokingly tells her that he is worried about the Duke, and she tells him that it is two different things and he need not worry about the Duke. His Grace then tells Viola Helena that seeing her observe other naked men does not make him feel good. She then asks him if he is willing to model for her instead.
Viola Helena’s nude drawings are incomplete because they only portray the upper body and according to the information the protagonist got, the Crown Princess does not like explicit nude drawings.
His Grace wanted to see what kind of nudes she might like, but he did not want her to look at her own art pieces because he did not know that this Viola Helena was not the actual Viola Helena.
