The third trailer, “I Will Live As Me,” which was released on Kakao Page’s official YouTube account and SNS on October 14th, runs toward the climax with the awakening of Kayena and Duke Kidrey, who drew a sword to protect her. Meanwhile, Prince Regef begins to run rampant due to the princess escaping from his grasp.
Princess Kayena, who sits on the throne, declares war, saying, “From now on, I’m going to start doing what suits me the most.” Eventually, Duke Kidrey’s cruel eyes and Prince Regef, who breathes heavily just before the runaway, are seen, raising tension at once.
Kayena dropping a glass of poisoned wine, then smiling cheerfully and standing with an emperor’s wand, shows that their fate is changing all of a sudden. Prince Regef reveals his cruel obsession with Kayena, saying, “You should have been my doll.” Meanwhile, Duke Kidrey, who raises his sword to protect Kayena, said, “I have no hesitation at the tip of my sword.” In the face of all this, Kayena can be seen grabbing a chess piece with relaxed fingers behind Duke Kidrey, saying determinedly and dignifiedly, “”No one can stand on top of me. I will live as myself”.
Following the release of three teasers, the dramatic trailer is now set to be released. In the main film, the main worldview and fatal romance of “The Villainess Is A Marionette” will be completed in the finale.
