I closed my eyes as I sensed the strong wind blowing in the hot weather.
Only then did I open my eyes when I heard the voice of a man who seemed to look for someone."Beth, I searched everywhere to find you."My eyes widened when I felt someone hug me from behind. His hands were on my waist. His chin rested on my shoulder.It felt like someone threw a bucket of icy water on me. All my body hair stood up. I struggled with extreme fear.Who is this man? Where did he get the courage to hug me ?!When I was about to confront him, he disappeared.I was the only one in this vast lavender field.Where did that go?"Big Sister! Wake up!"I rolled my eyes because of the ear-splitting voice.I knew it was a dream that is almost a nightmare.I guess my dream is weird. I did not want to have a boyfriend. Is it the effect of reading a romance novel before going to bed?
When I looked around the room, my parents were on the sofa. An unfamiliar man was sitting there as well.
Oh my. I was not notified that there was a visitor. I ran to the bathroom and made myself look presentable enough."My Daughter, Thank you so much for helping your siblings."If this was the reaction of my parents, it means ..."I am George, Ms. Heart's representative. We have explained the details to your parents. Are you ready? You need to report to Madam's office. "
I nodded. And then I asked if I could have breakfast first and say goodbye to my siblings.They agreed and added that they would come back after 2 hours.In fairness, they work fast.My parents cried after they left. I could not eat well because they were too emotional.
I said they should focus on the operation. My older sister called me and announced her return to the Philippines after the recovery of our siblings."There is snow in the USA!" I told the twins.Even if they do not show it, I know they are afraid of whatever the outcome would be.I want the operation to be successful so that they can experience normal child life.I waited outside the hospital to wait for Sir George’s arrival.I did not look stupid because they came right away.When I entered the building, Ms. Receptionist welcomed me. She let me know that Mr. George will take care of my belongings.I followed her as she walked away.
"You are silent," she commented while pressing the code that will open the door.What can I say? I do not have a talk host show personality. "Come in," she ordered.Only my eyes moved as I inspected the surrounding.We are in a control room. You will immediately notice 3 computers the moment you entered this place. It also has a mirror that serves as a divider because you can see a bed and monitor on the other side.
For sure, that will be my bed in the next few days.
My hunch was right because the receptionist informed me I should lie down and wear the weird helmet with many wires attached to it.
I took a deep breath.The assistants said to close my eyes so; I did. I heard them do the countdown. After a while, I suddenly felt dizzy. I feel the excruciating pain caused by the stinging flow of electricity in my muscles.I did not know how long I stumbled. I just woke up because of the intense shaking.I slowly opened my eyes. A woman wearing a long black flock dress with puffy sleeves got my attention. She must be my personal maid based on what I saw on her stats.Based on the handbook, I would see important information about the characters of this game."Nora, where are we?"I could see her emotions transformed. Now it seems to worry."We are currently traveling to Larson, the district headed by Count Viscar."Oh, I see. I transmigrated when Miueriella would find out the truth about her life. Let me explain it to you.As I mentioned, they based the game on the story titled Persephone's Pomegranate. The major character is Miuerella, a woman with angelic beauty and character who will captivate Crown Prince Reyner's heart. Before the movie-like encounter of the two destined people, you need to know that his adoptive father abused our heroine for fourteen years.When she was a baby, Count Viscar kidnapped her to avenge his unrequited love.Count Viscar must be lucky because I am not a lawyer in this world. Otherwise, I will file multiple charges against him. I would make sure that he will suffer.Wait, what is my role here?I tapped my wrist because that was the way for me to see my avatar’s information.Ah, not that bad.Bethany Grimaldi. The youngest child of Marquess Grimaldi and one of Miueriella's friends. In the novel, she was just a humble side character. But do you know how beautiful it is? Her life was peaceful. She was not a villainess. She does not have to worry about her future.All I have to do is to make sure Miueriella and Prince Reyner will stay together, eventually. That was the supreme goal of this game.The Cupid’s Adventure. A game where you experience how to be a cupid with a twist! There are 3 hidden quests in this game. One of them is to be a cupid. When I asked Ms. Heart what the other hidden quests are, she answered I would also know it when the right time comes.I will be the best game tester! Because if I die when the other hidden quests are unlocked, that would mean salary deduction.“My Lady, are you all right? Is there something wrong with you?” Nora asked because I suddenly clenched my fist.
I gave her a gigantic smile, I said, "I guess I'm just bored."
I was looking out the window. I admit it, this kind of trip is not good. It was too shaky that you felt like there was an earthquake.Instead of complaining, I just thought this was for my siblings.After a three-hour trip, I was thankful we had arrived. When I got off the carriage, I walked in a zigzag manner. Nora was already supporting me by holding my hand. While walking towards Count Viscar's estate, a girl made my dizziness fade away. I thought this was not the right time for us to meet. The gameplay proved me wrong because I suddenly received a notification.A rectangular hologram gleamed with golden lights floated in the air.Task: Befriend MiuerellaXP Points: 500Dynastic Points: 500The object that glowed like a star slowly evaporated into bubbles after a minute.I shook my head in disbelief. The story clearly stated that Bethany and Miuerella met at their coming of age ceremony.I had this strong desire to grab the book once again.Bethany, a woman as fragile as glass. The Marchioness even had this ridiculous delusion that anything would make her daughter sick. She always inspected dust in their furniture by smudging her finger on the surface. Any maids who failed to comply with the cleaning standards faced punishment. Children avoided her in fear that they might break her bones.The present Bethany was an exception.Dipping my slender, rough feet in the gluey, trodden mud was not a problem. When the violent storm hit my city, the entire community even dived in th
This is the first time I have taken part in a staring game. None of us tried to look away as if we had a non-verbal agreement in which the first to give up was the loser.The poor Crown Prince became the mediator.“Good job, Lady Bethany! I think the Duke had the same opinion,” the Crown Prince declared.Duke Frederick just let out a smile before saying, “Your Highness, I agree with your statement,”If you had agreed earlier, I would have gotten inside.They started walking towards the manor. I waited until they took several steps.This was not stupidity. The shitty game world had complex rules. There was an etiquette saying that people of higher ranks should go first. Women should remember this. There should also be distance when an unmarried woman and man interacted. Like every rule, there were exceptions.I strolled as I rubbed my palms and breathed on them. I was thankful to Reyner for giving me
There was an angelic princess that the entire empire favored, so the emperor did everything to protect her from the negative things surrounding this world. He forbade the princess from playing outside, and for her playmates, they had to go through the emperor’s deliberate selection.The princess understood why her parents did that, but she still wanted to be free. She did not have the courage to express the request, it would shatter into pieces just by imagining the consequences.One day, the emperor had to travel to the other kingdom.“Father, be careful on your journey, I’ll wait for your return.”The emperor kissed the child on the forehead before riding on his carriage.The princess's skin tingled when she witnessed the intrusion of an unknown man.“Mister, if you wanted to propose, I can’t accept it. Before the knights found you, leave my sight now,” she said.The handsome stranger knelt
Madeline’s Ruby, a stolen magical artifact. The current emperor made efforts to locate this magnificent thing, but still failed.Everyone in the dining hall dropped their silverware, drunken men suddenly became sober.Reyner gulped his red wine in one go.“Bethany, were you sure that was the real Madeline’s Ruby?” he asked.“Your Highness, Duke Klein will answer all of our suspicions.”They all turned to him. Duke Klein, my father’s best friend, Miuerella’s biological father, most of all, one of the most influential Dukes in the entire empire. I shifted everyone’s attention to him because this guy is an expert with magical artifacts. One of his businesses was selling such things.He glanced from left to right before we had eye contact. He heaved a sigh before turning to the Crown Prince.“Your Highness, please allow me to examine the ring on the statue.”&nbs
I was on cloud nine after seeing the notification that I received 500 XP and Dynastic points.My throat was getting ready so I could hit the soprano note when someone slapped the wall with all his might, enough for me to flinch.Did this dude kabedoned me?I dreamt of this scene because of my anime addiction. However, I never imagined that a despicable man crushed my dream in an instant.“Thanks for your help, but it’s getting late, and need at least eight hours of sleep.”She nodded and meandered while avoiding the Duke’s ominous stare.When my attendant’s silhouette became smaller as she moved further away from us, it was at this moment that I had to activate my facade.Reyner told that he was sick to the point of skipping the banquet earlier. It turned out that the Crown Prince’s words were a bluff.“Your Grace, what brings you here?” I asked.He shook his head, pr
Hah! So this was what Ms. Heart meant when she bragged about how immersive this game was.Inside this cramped and somber place where the chains on my feet made restrictions to my movements, a chilly air brushed my skin, which made my hair stand up.Even if I could only see my roommate’s back, those silky yet curly silver hair was one of her assets. If I could not recognize my target from afar and even in the dark, what kind of player am I?“I didn’t know that your father has a habit of caging pretty ladies. Did he mistake us for dolls?”The girl with a heart of gold crawled as if she was a six-month-old baby — slowly but surely. With trembling rough hands, she held mine.A beam of moonlight coming from the window with grills shone on her, enabling me to confirm my hunch. Those apologetic eyes were a gateway to her complex inner world.“Do not blame yourself, my dear, especially with the fact that the deran
“Dang! The baby I trained became a ferocious bear!”This opponent of mine gave a triumphant smile as I wiped the blood on my right cheek, so I immediately chanted a spell because it might leave an ugly scar on my fair, blemish-free, seductive face. We should take care of our best assets.“Thanks to you, I got better every day however, this new skill of mine would be only helpful in dire situations.”Every day is a dire situation, my dear cousin! The adrenaline ran through my system now I found a decent sparring candidate.I stood up and thrust the pointed tip of my sword was in his stomach. One wrong move to kiss him goodbye forever.“Wouldn’t you think it is already time for us to head inside the manor unless you thought that the actual battle is just getting started?”In a confident tone, I said, “I’m happy that someone knew myself better than me,”I pulled back my sword, a
The poor turtle stumbled when she bumped into me, so I guess I had another inspiration to be buff.“Your Grace, I apologize for my slowness. Expect me to speed up the pace.”I shook my head when she said that she would speed up her space. What a great joke because if she can, then why would I return?I put my cloak on her because she was as pale as a sheet of paper. Giving fan service and carrying a lady in a bridal style way was never this fun!“Your Grace, you could put me down, the woman and the man ...”How dare you nag me as if you’re my Mom? Wrong response, it should be: “Your Grace, what an incredible strength you have!”“Tell me that fucking rule, and I would not show any mercy to you.”This woman had to know that I’m not the type of person who would resist being put in a box.Did I become too hard on her? Carrying a rock made time slower, but when I glanced, I
