He ruffled my hair and smirked, “Silly girl, come find me when you're older. When you’re ready.” And he disappeared. ** Kim Aera, a college student working on her essay about the villain Lord Eros and his enemy King Augustus, in a famous novel called To Be Loved, but ending up transmigrating herself in the novel as an orphan who turned out out to be Princess Asteria, a descendant of King Augustus and the sister of the male lead Crown Prince Apollo. On her 18th birthday, every prince around from other kingdom went to Ardis kingdom to be her husband, each having their gifts to show their love. However, Princess Asteria wanted nothing but to run away from her suitors, ending up kidnapped by a strange man named Anteros who says that she possesses incredibly rare magic, and Anteros asked her to revive the legend and dangerous dark mage, Lord Eros, the villain of the story. As Lord Eros lived again, she ends up diving deeper into his past. And what's more, the second lead Prince Galician was supposed to go to the female lead but ended up chasing her. How can she return to the real world with the dark mage tailing behind her back, brothers, and countless almost-death situations from the king’s concubine? To Lord Eros, she was the future. To her they were the past that she mistakenly brought up and caused chaos in the story, entrapping her. (UNEDITED)
"What's next?" asked Anteros.
"It would be easier to kill them in an instant."
Asteria shushed them, "Shut up you two. I want them to experience pain first. Now pull down your robes."
"You are a bit of a sadist, aren't you?" Anteros commented and turned to Krajner, "Right, Krajner? Are you sure you are serving the right master?"
"I am doing this for the kingdom," Krajner simply responded.
Asteria shrugged, "Loyal to the kingdom as ever."
Anteros said to him, "Are you sure you chose the right woman? Out of all the 1500-"
Lord Eros said, "Don't even dare to insult her in front of me." Lord Eros firmly said as he clasped his hands over her.
"Wow. Such a supportive brother. You are choosing your lover instead of me?"
Asteria smirked.
"What else? What do you have?"
"Ouch! That is so hurtful, brother! Hmp! You lovebirds are such a pain!" Anteros said, running to Krajner.
