Chapter 4: Lodging with bad luck

Khione's pov

I looked out of my carriage.I couldn't believe my eyes the streets were full of people talking buying and selling things and it was so vibrant and cheerful.The palace before my eyes looked like those castles in barbie movies but this one was humongous and majestic that i was in awe.

When we reached inside the palace a young man in his early twenties welcomed me and showed me my living quarters.He told me that the empress would meet me before lunch and that i would also meet princess Odette with her.

I thanked him and asked my maids to prepare for a bath.After taking a bath i decided that I must try to avoid meeting the crown and if by chance i cross paths with him then i should not forget about my fangirl act.I feel a little relieved cause in these past two months i had locked myself up in my room, kaelean must have met Mary 4 times according to the book.In the novel Kaelean finds Mary amusing in the beginning and when she enrolls in the National Academy he starts feeling jealous when she gets close to the other main lead,Eugene.So according to the plot,Kaelean does not actually like Mary right now but finds her very interesting and likes spending time with her which means he will probably ignore me and even if he does not i will act like i have a crush on him which will make him dislike me.After making all these important life changing decisions i went out and called a royal maid to show me to The Empress' chamber.

On the way i saw someone with curly blond hair jumping trying reach a tree branch.Just then she tripped on her own dress and fell down.I knew she was "Odette" the person to whom i had to be a companion.I walked towards her knowing that she would be a powerful ally.She was still on the ground when i said ,"do you need any help miss?" and put forward my hand.

She looked up and gasped 'Am i dead .Are you an angel?'.Her response made me smile a bit. I bent down to my knees and told her "yes lady you are dead but im not an angel i am the grim reaper who has come to take you to hell".At my response her dark blue eyes widened but when i laughed she seemed to realise i was just kidding .She took my hand and got up but her face was fully flushed.I smiled and told her'I am Khione Rensteil, Milday Odette'. When she heard this her red face became even more red and she looked like a tomato.She stuttered " I'm so sor sorry" and ran away like a rabbit.I realized that Odette was quite a naive and innocent person so she may be useful to me in the future.I thought I must have really good luck cause i did not meet the crown prince and i think that the crown princess has also taken a liking to me.I smiled inside my head thanking the gods for my wonderful luck.

Only if I knew a pair of red eyes had been looking at me when i was with odette.

When i saw the empress i quickly greeted her.She smiled and then we had tea together and talked about boring matters.Then Odette also joined us .Every now and then i could feel her curious glance on me.Even in the original plot Odette had no friends as she seldom went out to parties due to her weak immunity and later she befriends Mary , only to realize that her childhood crush Eugene likes Mary. Odette is the same age as me but she was mentally still like a young child while me on the other hand,i am mentally 16(the age i died at in my previous life).The empress too seemed to have realized that Odette had taken a liking to me .After some time we all said our goodbyes and went back to our rooms.

Two weeks passed by calmly and i didn't see the crown prince even once. Odette and me became pretty close buddies in that time.i came to realize that Odette even though naive, was not actually a stupid person instead she was quite an intuitive person who seemed to know how the people around her were feeling.My stay here was not as bad as i thought it would have been. Odette was a fun person and the food here was amazing.The library collection was also bigger here .Next week was also Odette's birthday and she would be turning 15 so i had to prepare a gift for her.I was excited for her party cause thats when Eugene the other male lead sees Mary helping a lady who was being bullied at the party by Camilia. He notices Mary during that party and then after one month when she turns 16 she starts to attend the National Academy and he has many coincidental meetings with her and he slowly falls for her.This party is very important because Odette meets and befriends Mary during this party.This party is also the place where the original Herione Suzzane Bolt makes her entry inside the story only to realize that Kaelean has no interest in her. So i will attend this party and enjoy all of the melodrama from the sidelines .After the party Kaelean starts thinking about Mary more and more but after a month when she attends the National Academy (where all the noble kids who are 16 and above attend),he falls for her and realizes his feelings when he gets jealous of Eugene when he starts talking with Marionette.That means after a month the plot would start and i would have successfully avoided almost all of the death flags and then i would live a peaceful and happy life.It was a bright sunny day so i decided to got to the library.When i was coming back from the library i saw kaelean at the other end of the hall.I quickly put on a stupid smile and started looking at him.He walked passed me without looking at me. hehehehe mission success.

Thats when he turned around and said"I order you to stop right there young lady".I cursed at him under my breath and then turned around looking like the happiest person in the world.When he saw my stupid smile his face scrunched a bit and i quickly realized he regretted his decision but now he couldn't do anything.I smiled inside my head and thought that i should win an oscar or something for my amazing acting skills.He said'I order you to come and help me buy a gift for my sister '.Order my foot you asshole .I quickly smiled and said to him'I will be delighted to help you Crown prince Kaelean'.He didn't reply to my answer and just said that we will leave at noon and told me to be ready at that time.

I wore a simple red dress and tied my hair in a bun with a red ribbon.I took a deep breath and whispered to myself 'Not too much not too little' and went out to meet the demon.
