No Romance, Please
Fate or accident? I don't know what it was. It played a cruel trick in my life and one day, I was not living anymore. I died! I got transmigrated into my favourite novel, ‘Romance, Please’! (Ok, I agree that it's not a good title but still, I used to love this story.) In the book universe, I pretended to be a princess, started to live in the palace, and even got my very own platinum tiara. I lived much better than in my previous life. But I had to pay the price... The book I loved the most wanted me dead, just for the sake of another character’s development. I had to die in two years, again for the story to progress. Should I wait and watch for the plot to kill me? That's not me! I just chose to rewrite the novel from scratch, together with the villain. Fates started to change. I was made into a queen, the sole ruler of my kingdom. Then again, I had to pay the price. This time it was to sacrifice my love. Plot twist, No Romance, Please, cause it's injurious to health. ************************************************************ Warning: This is a twisted, erratic, nonsensical romance book.
The Dinner
"Great evening, Commander," suddenly the monstrous voice echoed in the dining hall. I turned towards the door with a frown. A man who I have met that afternoon was standing by the door, almost covering the whole entrance.
"Oh, Your Grace! Forgive me. I didn't see you before," he bowed. He must be General Ben, the one who would be joining us for the dinner.
I nodded at him in acknowledgement. "Great evening, Ben. Have a seat," Alastair called that man who was twice as the age him by his first name. I felt uneasy at his behaviour but Ben didn't seem to really mind it.
