The Lady Boss

Summary

Vedette, once called the “Boss” of the Snake Den — the underworld slums of the Othern Empire — lived as a lowborn.

One day, she died fighting a cult in order to save her friend.

When she opened her eyes again, it was 20 years in the past —
And she had become the precious youngest daughter of the powerful noble family, the Sylcar House, the highest-ranking family in the Othern Empire.

“I was… Verdette Sylcar, the girl everyone thought had gone missing?”

What Vedette now has are:

• The Ego Gauntlet [Comet], which she obtained by chance,

• Memories of her first life, the one in which she died,

• And the face of a man who once kissed her hand with reverence.

There’s no time.
She has only one chance to make everything right again.

“If someone did wrong…”

I clenched my teeth and slammed my fists together. Flames erupted from where they met.
It was Comet. It, too, was clearly responding to my fury.

“…they should get beaten to a pulp.”
“Don’t kill him, Boss.”

Jute added indifferently from behind. But the slight smile on his lips never faded. I shot him a glare.

“I told you not to call me Boss.”
“Babe. Go easy on him.”
“…I’m not even going to respond to that.”

I took a heavy step forward.
Jute’s explosive laughter echoed from behind, but I didn’t look back.
