Main Points of the Story	Tells of a woman who came back to life after dying twice.

When she in second life, she reads a novel entitled "The black rose lady" which tells the story of a Kayena Hill, the beautiful but evil and stupid princess of the Eldaim Empire and then used by her own brother, Rezef Hill, and suffers a very sad death, without knowing that the novel she read was the story of her in the first life. Even in her second life she died because she was killed by someone who hated her. Suddenly, she reawakens as Kayena Hill, Princess of the Eldaim Empire and with memories of her life in her first and second life. After being told by the maid, it turns out that she fainted after drinking poison and then coughed up blood. Memories of the incident before she fainted slowly began to appear in her head, until she recalled Kayena Hill's entire memory in this life. It turns out that her current life has the same plot as the novel she read in her second life. Fortunately she woke up before the tragic incident occurred and intended to change her fate by having to escape from her brother first. From the novel she read, Rezef Hill, her younger brother, was an immoral person who killed the emperor, his own father, and occupied the throne of the Eldaim Empire. Other than that her brother was only using her as a puppet that can be controlled at will. Kayena knew everything that happened including who had poisoned her, it was her brother.

Characters	Kayena Hill, the Emperor of Eldaim, Raffaello Kedrey, Rezef Hill, Olivia Grace, Yester Heinrich, Vera, and others.
Main Points of the Story	The story continues when Kayena was talking to her brother, Rezef Hill. Rezef did not accept Kayena's choice, who didn't want to catch the culprit who poisoned her without knowing that Kayena knew that the person who poisoned her was Rezef. The plan was that Rezef would scapegoat and execute Viscount Gillian, one of Duke Kedrey’s vassals with the aim of lessening the influence of the Duke Kedrey family that were opposed to him taking the throne. This was the reason why Rezef had poisoned Kayena. Later, Kayena wanted freedom by marrying anyone she wanted.

Title of Comic & Page	The Villainess is a Marionette Chapter 3 (p. 174-251)
Sources	https://1stkissmanga.me/manga/the-villainess-is-a-marionette/
Characters	Kayena Hill, the Emperor of Eldaim, Raffaello Kedrey, Rezef Hill, Olivia Grace, Yester Heinrich, Vera, and others.
Main Points of the Story	Rezef was disturbed by Kayena's unusual attitude. Kayena that everyone knew was indeed an idiot who only cared about her beauty. Unlike the current Kayena, she had become smart and full of well-thought-out plans. Because of that, Kayena stayed silent for 15 days in order to avoid Rezef’s vigilance. Including during the execution of the culprit who poisoned Kayena (not the original culprit), Kayena also did not come out to see him. Later, when Kayena was dressed up so beautifully, many ladies-in-waiting complimented her. However, Kayena just kept quiet towards the compliments she usually liked. Vera, one of Kayena's maids who was aware of Kayena's different demeanor, started to pay attention to her. Kayena also knew that Vera was quite a sharp and intuitive person, and also had ambitions. Because of that, she will make Vera as a her vassal.
New Vocabularies Found	Attempted, ruined, nobles, guillotine, successor, lineage, force, faction, hostage, threatened, inherit, whilst, gaze, arrested, recovered, vigilance, hasty, jeopardized, impatience, servants, soured, humiliated, and inappropriately.
Comments	I didn't like Rezef because he only used Kayena as a puppet he could use. But maybe Kayena could change his attitude gradually. I can't wait for it!

Her father also talked about who Kayena would choose as a life partner and asked whether to choose Raffaello, the person Kayena had always loved. However, Kayena wisely replied that she would choose a partner based on her father's choice. When he left his father's room, he ran into Raffaello who was also going to meet the Emperor of Eldaim. But Raffaello did not meet because the emperor was taking a nap. Kayena who saw Raffaello offered an invitation to have tea together and said something as if she knew the problem Raffaello was facing. Raffaello, who is curious, accepts Kayena's invitation.

New Vocabularies Found	Aide, severe, horrendous, brewed, bankruptcy, and hereditary.
Comments	I like the scene when Kayena gives milk tea to Raffaello, and he is surprised because it tastes really good. Raffaello looks cutty!

Unfinished  I have not finished reading the story, because the comic has more than seventy chapters. Besides that, I also don't have much free time because I live in a boarding school.

The unforgettable scene from the story !

It is when Raffaello looked blushing because it was the first time he saw Kayena appear simple and not glamorous. I really like his acting like that. The story also make me feel happy and enjoyed when I read it.
