I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History episode 12, aired on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, begins with Alicia reflecting on recent events involving Liz and Laval. Mel reveals that Liz has a secret Saint ability, Charm Magic, which likely draws followers to her unconsciously.

They discuss the effects of this magic, the reasons it doesn't work on Alicia, Duke, or their circle, and how to break the spell. They deduce that its recent inconsistency may be due to Duke's growing connection with Alicia.

Realizing the urgency of addressing the situation, Alicia's group attempts to confront Liz, but her followers prevent them from doing so. Thus, Duke lures her away, allowing him and Alicia to confront her. Meanwhile, Mel and Henri break the spell on her followers, freeing them from their false devotion.

Realizing the truth, Liz confesses her love for Duke and her desire to become the perfect Saint to stand by his side. However, Duke rejects her, affirming his love for Alicia.

Liz admits her dislike for Alicia, but Alicia empathizes with her, encouraging her to become a Saint for herself, not others. This moment of understanding resolves the tension between the two rivals.

Later, Duke and Alicia help Grandpa Will reunite with his younger brother, the King. Duke assures Alicia that the King will reward her for her sacrifices and confesses his love again, giving her time to consider her feelings.

The next day, as Alicia realizes her love for Duke, a shocking twist unfolds: when she and Jill meet Duke at the Academy, he fails to recognize them, ending the episode on a suspenseful note.
