I have the a theory related to your questions. Since Raeliana was getting tired of being like a side character, maybe at some point she met Iosa(the priestess) then tells her about the world she’s living in being a story and also tells her about her destiny of being a side character and dying. Then to change her fate used black magic, went to the other world where she met the MC, and making her take the Raeliana role.
Also if going to follow through my theory,, maybe the reason why the MC’s conversation with the mysterious character who pushed her(which I assume is Raeliana) is enjoyable can be because they are talking about the story which is “Beatrice”. But i’m still not sure on why the OG Raeliana would go to such length if she already knew about the story. It maybe related to her last message to the MC.
This just me trying to connect dots. i’m still excited on what Beatrice’s action would be(although I kinda hate herヽ(`Д´)ﾉ) because she’s the most unpredictable character.
Still searching for spoilers, just give me a heads up (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
What i’m curious about is that the bad realiana knows she’s in a novel and about her fate but how?
As I said maybe it’s because of Iosa(the priestess). She did explain that the goddess is a playwright to the world and put souls to take the role in each character. And knowing Iosa she also can tell you your destiny as a character in that world. She already explained it when the MC asked her about it.
Iosa is the person that the original Realiana kept meeting in secret before(but I think there is another one, i’m not too sure). That’s why they had her tracked down and brought to the mansion.
Not to sure though this is just my speculation. I’m just piecing the plot together.
spoiler alert
i’ve read the spoilers and the confusing part is.. how did original realiana (the bad) know that beatrice (our realiana) and duke is the fated partners? that’s why she swapped souls right? to get the duke?
