Characters in the Novel
Penelope Eckart

The Fake Lady of House Eckart.

The Villainess with the pure and

ambitious desire to live and
survive on the Otome reverse
harem game. Penelope is
described as a very beautiful girl
in her late teens, 17 years old at
the beginning of the series before
her coming of age party. She has
magenta hair that reaches her
hips in soft waves, and the ends
of her bangs appear pale pink in
color. Her eyes are turquoise
blue, with shades of blue on top
and green on the bottom.
Callisto Regulus

He has the typical blond hair of

the royal line, but his eyes are
ruby-red, and he is said to be
brighter than the others. The
most common attire he dons is a
formal white military outfit with
gold accents and a red cape with
black fur encircling the edges.
Magic makes his cape heat-
resistant and waterproof. Even
though he and his younger
brother were rivals for the
throne, as a boy he appeared to
have a compassionate side as he
truly wanted to offer his younger
brother a surprise.
Vinter Berdandi

Vinter, a sorcerer with lapis lazuli

eyes and snow-white hair, is a
gentlemanly and courteous man
known for his kindness and
respect. He is well-liked by the
nobility, especially women, and is
known to defend other sorcerers,
especially young ones, with a
strong protective side.
Derrick Eckart

Derrick, a tall, striking young man

with blue eyes and black hair,
patrols with the Eckhart knights
wearing expensive clothing in
black, blue, and gold. He is
arrogant and condescending,
making fun of Delman's ruined
kingdom and the slave. As the
Eckhart dukedom's heir, he is
concerned about his family's
standing and is highly sensitive,
as demonstrated when Penelope,
split up.
Reynold Eckhart

With pink hair and blue eyes,

Reynold is taller than Derrick but
still somewhat shorter. Normally,
he wears loose-fitting white
blouses with open sleeves,
optional vests, and brownish
coats.
Reynold has a short fuse and is
prone to verbal or physical
aggression. Because of his status
as a slave, Reynold forces Eckles
to continue training while the
other knights enjoy the festival.
As a noble, he can be rather
conceited. When it comes to his
popularity with ladies, he also
exhibits a proud side. He takes
offence when his father implies
that his sons' unpopularity stems
from their demeanour.
Eckles Khan
Delman
Eckles, a slave with grey brown
hair and grey eyes, is described
as silent and unintelligible. He
wears a necklace with a
paralysing spell and rarely
expresses emotion. Eckles'
selfishness, arrogance, and
manipulation lead him to betray
his lover, Penelope, and bring
Ivonne Eckhart back to the
Eckharts, with the intention of
betraying the protagonist.
Yvonne Eckhart

Yvonne's hair was long and

straight, falling to her lower back.
Her hair was bright pink, similar
to Reynolds', and she wore a
braid around her head. Her skin
was fair, and her eyes were pale
blue. She would wear light-
colored clothing. Yvonne was a
kind child. After meeting the
young Ivonne locked in the
mirror, Penelope claimed that
her demeanor was similar to
Reynold's due of their fury.
Duke Eckhart

Duke Eckhart, a cold-hearted

Korean parent, ignores his
adoptive daughter Penelope and
is oblivious of her mistreatment.
Despite his cold-hearted
demeanor, he has a comedic side
and is desperate to adopt
Penelope. When he sees
Penelope, he remembers his lost
daughter Ivonne and resolves to
adopt her, despite her starved
state.
A little story that I captured from
the novel
• The first part is when Penelope meets the
crown prince for the first time at the
birthday party of the second prince
(Callisto's half-brother). The scene that is
clearly engraved in Penelope's memory is
where the crown prince almost drew his
sword on Penelope's neck, because he
thought Penelope was a bug¹ sent by the
Empress (Callisto's stepmother). [bug =
threat/assassin].
• After Penelope argued that she loved the
tyrant crown prince. Callisto Regulus
undergoes a significant change of
character after getting to know Penelope.
In his eyes, Penelope is someone who
deserves to be with him, after overcoming
several obstacles: the event of the day of
the hunt, the event of meeting Leila for
the first time, etc. that are told in the
novel.
• There are also characters like Derrick who
do not show a significant change in
character, after knowing the changes of the
main character in hard mode, Penelope.
• Derrick Eckhart is the eldest son of Lord
Duke Eckhart. He is portrayed as a logical
and rational older brother in easy mode,
but in hard mode, his rationality makes me
who read the novel want to punch the
young Duke of the house Eckhart in the
face.
• The event begins with a monster and
animal hunt, as Penelope and His Highness
Callisto Regulus desperately try to survive
an attack by the shadowy assassins sent by
the empress. Penelope brought the
evidence used by the assassin to overthrow
the crown prince, a dagger with a carved
butterfly symbol, which is the symbol of
Marquess Ellen's family.
A little story That I captured from
the novel
• In one scene where Penelope is
imprisoned for intentionally harming
a member of the imperial family,
Derrick goes to Eckhart to settle the
matter by cornering Penelope into
admitting a mistake she didn't even
make.
• What he does may be rational and
logical in easy mode, because
Penelope in easy mode just a Lady
who is immatured.
• But on hard mode, Penelope is a
lady of tactics and puzzles.
Calculating her actions and risking
what she has for a happy ending
that is impossible to achieve in the
Hard Mode game.
• In the last event, Defeating Leila, Derrick
remained firm in his stance, that his sister
was innocent, while Penelope was the
opposite. among all of them Marquess
Berdandi, Reynold Eckart, Duke Eckart,
Callisto Regulus, and Iklies Khan, Derrick
and Iklies were the most disappointing
male characters in my opinion.
• Penelope had bet everything on the two
men's increased attraction value, Derrick
was too bound by his mad rationality by
Penelope's former behaviour, and Iklies
was too obsessed with the shackles of his
love for his own mistress Penelope
Eckart, culminating with Iklies bringing
the girl Leila to the residence and
betraying Penelope who had given
everything for the lowly slave from
Delmene.
A little story that i captured from
the novel
• Meanwhile, the best male lead
candidate went to Callisto
Regulus, followed by Reynold
Eckhart and Vinter Berdandi. In
my opinion, although at the
beginning of the series they
acted very unreasonably towards
Penelope, there were many
scenes where they improved
their bad first impression.
Helping Penelope to the end and
finding a happy ending for an
antagonist. In hard mode,
Penelope becomes a heroine
who saves the world from an evil
witch called Leila.
• Then, the bright ending after the
girl Leila/Yvonne Eckhart was
defeated arrived. Penelope with
Callisto Regulus is the ending
that readers of The death is the
only ending for the villainess
series have been waiting for.
• She did not return to her original
world, because to her, the novel
world she lived in had already
given her everything about love
and also the affection of a
precious family, which she could
not get in her previous life.
My curse to
Derrick Eckhart
And Eckles Khan
Because of this novel, I cursed
Derrick and the Iklies/Eckles.
How dare they oppress and
betray my Penelope. Two words
for both of them, rancid
bastards. To be honest, I love
tragic novels... but this one had
too much of that damn Derrick
that really drained my emotions
while reading the novel and the
comic. Where there's Derrick,
there's trouble.
Really, Author-nim is very good at
packing romance stories with
onion spices that can make me
cry every time I read it.
The end of the words..
Thanks for your attention...
