Jane woke up once more.
This time, she was not in her room anymore.
She is currently with Alyvard.
They sat side by side by a clear and beautiful river.
Yuck!
Jane inwardly cursed.
Why does this character always have to be so close to this guy every time he plays her?
Wait...
At that moment, Jane remembered that she was supposed to be in the room when she logged out.
Could it be...
"My character moves independently?"
It is very likely that is what happened.
That way, the story will be able to continue without disturbing other players' games.
The only downside is that this will present some difficulties for players as they will miss a lot of things that happen during their logout.
What if his character is killed when he logs out?
"What are you talking about, Jane?"
Jane was so absorbed in her mind that she forgot who was currently sitting with her.
Jane quickly adjusted her expression and tried her best to smile.
"A-ah, I-it's nothing!"
Alyvard reached out to Jane's face.
Jane gritted her teeth and tried as hard as she could to look calm.
Calm down, Lena!
Survive to find the truth of DOL!
Jane's expression was very tense when Alyvard touched her cheek and examined her, but from Alyvard's point of view, Jane only blushed with embarrassment.
"You've been a little weird since this morning. Is this also because of the nightmare you saw?"
It's all your fault, bastard!
Swallowing what she really felt, Jane gently nodded.
"Y-yes..."
"Can you tell me what kind of dream it is?"
Alyvard brought his face closer.
-!!
Lena's hatred for Alyvard increases dramatically.
For Lena, this Alyvard man did intend to make his identity as a man killed out of shame.
It took a long time for Jane to manage to calm herself down.
"I-that's right, that dream is a strange dream..."
Jane was just about to tell another lie when she suddenly recalled about this character's Backstory.
Jane undoubtedly wanted to get rid of this responsive engagement.
However, she couldn't just run away.
She had to create a conflict that was not really her fault in order to avoid the possibility of being killed, but she also had to make the conflict big enough to be able to destroy the engagement that occurred.
What problems can be used?
Jane removed Alyvard's hand from her face.
With a distant gaze, she stared at the clear stream of river water.
"... In that dream, I saw a lie."
The only problem Jane could find was the fact that she was not actually the daughter of the Elf King and Queen.
Can she use it for this?
"Lie?"
Jane held back a smile to appear on her face when she saw how easily Alyvard was provoked.
Jane nodded, hugging herself as if she was uncomfortable with something.
"Lie... Yes, I saw the lies that enveloped everything about me... In that dream, it seemed that I wasn't an elven princess. I just... An ordinary elf girl... Without any honorable status or obligation, just an normal, elf girl."
Silence enveloped the two.
Alyvard's facial expression was illegible, while Jane turned her gaze down.
Did I succeed?
Why did he remain silent?
Jane actually felt very nervous at the moment. This was the first time she had tried to acting so intensely. She was afraid that she would make a mistake and expose her lies.
At this moment, what was Alyvard thinking?
Alyvard was reminded of his childhood.
About 30 years ago.
When he was very young.
He at the time remembered the day he first met Jane.
Alyvard instantly fell in love when he saw Jane's beautiful face and her green hair which was as beautiful as the hair of Goddess Grassia herself.
Alyvard remembers that that day, Jane did not introduced herself to be a princess...
That's right.
Jane introduced herself as the daughter of an ordinary Elf family.
At that moment, Jane cheerfully asked Alyvard for a question about the palace and the majestic World tree.
However, the next day, Jane changed 180°.
Jane behaved politely and as an Elven princess would behave.
She walked decisively throughout the palace as if the palace was where she had lived for a long time.
As Alyvard thought about it, a thought flashed through his mind.
Could it be that the dream Jane saw was the truth?
Alyvard looked at the figure of Jane who was weakly hugging herself.
The weak figure said how lonely she was.
Stuck in a place that shouldn't be her place.
Forced to become a princess.
Alyvard hugged her weak figure.
He wanted to say that he would always be there for her no matter what, even if Jane wasn't an elven princess!
THIISSSSS BAAAAAAASSSSSSTARRDDDDDD~!!!
Jane, on the other hand, was restraining her killing intent with all her might to keep it from coming out.
***
Time passed, and finally, night came.
Jane was escorted back to her room.
Alyvard wanted to kiss her, but Jane stepped back with an uncomfortable face.
"Jane... Good night."
With a stiff smile, Alyvard left.
After being alone, Jane was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
She immediately locked the door of her room and lay down weakly on the bed.
"I'm going to die of shame and exhaustion if I continue like this..."
Lena had never felt this kind of thing even when fighting a monster boss that 90% of players couldn't defeat in other games before.
It's just that, playing as a female character who has an affectionate fiancé like Alyvard is really too strong a mental pressure for Jane.
"That's right... If I want to get out of this elf princess's life, I will definitely have to face some danger, right? After all, politics is a scary thing."
After resting for a while, Jane finally had some spare time to think about her status.

Hm, is the chapters is too short? I usually just write about more than 1k words, but how is it? Should I take more words on every chapter?
