"I want to break off our engagement!" At the school ball, the Second Prince put his arm around another girl and delivered the classic line from a villainess story.
He read out several charges against the Duke's daughter, Delphine Benevent, accusing her of directly causing the failure of many important missions entrusted to him. On those grounds, he declared that he was ending their engagement.
But he talked until his mouth went dry, while the young woman on the other side only then lifted her eyes from her book.
"Sorry, I got a little absorbed in this journal. The algorithm explaining the differences in the Hubble constant between different regions of the universe using the theory of overall fluid flow is fascinating. What did you say just now?"
The Second Prince: "...I should be the one asking what you just said!"
Faced with the foolish prince's indignant accusations, Delphine calmly replied:
"That's a fundamental attribution error, Your Highness."
What would happen if the villainess of a novel happened to acquire a key, use it to open a library in another world, and encounter knowledge that had never appeared in her own world?
*
This world is a playground for the gods, and the protagonist is the beloved daughter chosen by one of them.
The countless people are nothing but puppets on a stage, strings pulled to entertain the audience.
But one day, people will no longer need to fear a god who should never have existed.
That day will surely come.
Because the villainess already knows.

Humans stand on two feet not to kneel before the gods again. We create tools with our minds not to make sacrifices to an invisible being. Through evolution, we choose our own form; through reason, we forge the future we want. We think, we act, and we make ourselves human! ... Everything can be known by humanity, and one day everything will be known.
Address by Lady Benevent at the Adeline Palace
