Transmigrated as the villainess: I claimed five beast husbands!

Anna left the greenhouse and returned to her bedroom.

"Okay. I can do this. It’s just to seduce one man, how hard can that be?"

Anna paced the marbled floors, walking so fast she was a blur to anyone who saw her.

Mentally, she catalogued what she knew about Leon, Princess Orchid’s beast husband.

Leon was a lion beastman, a pillar of strength and male dominance. He led the royal army as the General, and was said to be the greatest General the kingdom has ever seen, even more powerful than his father, the previous General.

At the beginning of the story, from the earliest Chapters, Leon showed a deep hatred towards Princess Orchid. He didn’t even attend their wedding.

What happened?

Anna had no idea. It was something that maybe had been revealed in the later Chapters of the book.

"Why didn’t I finish the book?!" Anna wailed, stomping her foot in frustration. Maybe if she had information, her life here would be easier to navigate!

The book had over a thousand Chapters.

[Fifty minutes left, hostie~]

"I know!"

Seduce Leon, the beastman who had vowed to rip Princess Orchid’s head from her shoulders if she ever got close to him.

With her spores.

Anna looked up to the ceilings as if doing so would reveal the answers. "How do I even use these spores?" She questioned the air, staring at her marked arms.

[figure it out for yourself,] the system shot back.

"I wasn’t even talking to you!"

Anna decided to consult that sadistic system for nothing! She sat back down on the bed, her mind deep in thoughts.

"Okay. I survived the impossible for...twenty-nine years. I survived Manager Park for nine years, and he was a monster! Think, Anna. You have less than an hour till you go blind! You can walk up to one beastman and seduce him. After all, he’s your husband!"

She stood up, smoothed her dress, determination flashing in her eyes.

It was just seduction.

Easy peasy. She could do it.

Anna hurried out of her room, her face set in stone, her heart ready to face whatever happened next. Outside, she froze.

She didn’t have any clue for Leon’s location. Luckily, Bella walked by and Anna stopped her.

Bella trembled, tripped over her words and avoided Anna’s eyes.

Anna understood why.

In this world, she wasn’t Anna Carson, the spineless corporate slave. She was Princess Orchid, a ruthless and evil monarch.

Clearing her throat, Anna straightened her back. She didn’t have time for this. "Get up, Bella. And tell me where to find my husband, Leon."

Bella rose to her feet, shaking and wiped fat tears off her face. "General L-Leon he...he’s in the gardens w-with the king."

"How am I going to seduce him if he’s in the gardens?!"

[Hostie~ your thoughts. I failed to mention, but you must never let anyone know that you’re not the real Princess Orchid. Or you’ll be punished.]

Anna huffed. Damn it! This just got even worse!

"Fine," she pushed her hair over her shoulder. "Lead me to the gardens."

[thirty minutes left~]

Anna shook her head, gathered her gown in her hands, and marched forward.

Spotting the king, her father, was easy. But spotting Leon was even easier.

"Woah...you’ve got to be shitting me."

Anna barely focused on the King, who was more terrified seeing her in the gardens than to worry about her lack of a greeting.

All her attention was on Leon.

Anna did her best to control her thoughts as she walked up to the pair. She bowed to the king first, reminding herself that even if he was a stranger, he was the original body’s father.

"Father, I pray for your good health," Anna said in a reverent tone.

The King blinked, shock filling his eyes! When did his daughter get such manners?

Anna looked up, putting on her best puppy dog eyes. "May I have a minute alone with my husband? I have something important to discuss with him."

She didn’t miss how he already looked ready to bolt.

"Of course, you may!" The King replied, his voice authoritative and booming. At the snap of his finger, two servants came up and accompanied him out.

Anna finally faced Leon.

He’s hot. Was her first thought.

Leon was well over 6 foot 4, with broad shoulders and a trim waist. He looked like he spent most of his time in training. Dressed in full military regalia, Anna drooled with her lips pinned. His eyes were golden, and he had a thick mane of hair resembling that of a lion. Anna noted how he didn’t have any beast characteristics, not a tail or ears. He looked perfectly human.

Wow. Is that a plot thing in this story? Can some beastmen hide their beast appearance? I wish I knew!

His eyes were pools of ice, even though they resembled flames. Anna didn’t want to be intimated but it was so hard! Merely standing in his presence was overwhelming.

Calm down. Breathe. He’s just a man. A hot, scary man, but still a man.

Leon had his hand on his sword hilt. And Anna instinctively knew that he was trying very hard not to draw the weapon and slice off her head.

"Hi," she greeted with a wave, as she did with her colleagues. "You must be Leon! Right! I’m Orchid, your dear wife!"

The tall, imposing beastman glowered at her with such hateful eyes she nearly pissed herself.
