Why Is The Grand Duke Chasing Me?
"Grand Duke, I have no idea what you are talking about."
He gave me a sly smile but I can see the anger behind them. I wanted to throw this glass ball at his handsome face but also, I don't want to end up in jail.
"You have no idea?" He mockingly said and I can feel the anger slowly radiating off from where he stands.
I secretly stepped back from the table and created a huge distance between the both of us, just to be sure. I kept my calm and looked at him straight in the eyes.
"Yes. I have no idea."
He smiled, "Wrong answer."
I suddenly felt the tip of his sword on my throat and his eyes screaming insanity and just madness. I was calm the whole time even though my knees are ready to give up any moment now.
Work with me body! Don't let me down or we are both dead!
"Say that again, witch."
I glared at him this time but I changed my expression and smiled at him. I may seem calm but I am trembling on the inside.
Don't kill me, don't kill me.
"I. Have. No. Idea."
I just got reincarnated here! Let me live!

Pandora is a beautiful fortune teller that is often mistaken as a witch but, she is actually is not. She is also a con woman in an era where women are vulnerable to talks of love and true happiness, like the ones that you find in those sucky love fairy tales.
There are no problems about Pandora if you will just look at the outside. She is always full of smiles and laughter and everything she predicted seems to actually come true.
However, Pandora is no witch at all. In fact, she is just a mob character in a game namely "Messengers of Love" wherein the heroine believes in fortune telling and, you guessed it, fate!
Pandora was constantly visited by the villainess to seek answers from her. Pandora, being the con woman that she is, fed lies to the villainess and just to falsely believe that the grand duke, the one the villainess loves, feels the same way about her.
Basically, she was the one who pushed the villainess to her death.
However, the real Pandora is no more and in replace of her is a woman named Pia. A 28-year old bitter woman who had a job and 2 rescue cats. Pia doesn't believe in love, because it already destroyed her before.
So she call bullshit to every reading she has with these hopeless ladies and told them the real, hard, truth.
That love sucks!
Everything is straightening up and even the villainess, who seems madly in love with the duke at first, started realizing that the duke doesn't feel the same way. The villainess started to change and that is where the plot began to shift.
One faithful day, the Grand Duke himself visited Pandora and… What is this?!
Why is the Grand Duke angry at me for telling the truth and why did he suddenly start to chase me?!
