Achlys....

Achlys POV

I figure out ever since I learned that Audrey was the Late Duke's Brother's daughter. It was the same plot, the same story, and the same events based on the story, I figure out much, after one year of the coming-of-age ceremony of Audrey, she will be possessed by another soul from the other world, and she will suddenly change, she will try to break off the engagement between her and the crown prince, she will be famous as she was a fashion designer in her past life and invents dresses to the nobles, ladies, to like. Meanwhile, Achlys will be confused about the sudden change.

I tried to not change things as soon as possible, I want to see this on my own, but at the same time I don't want to die as a villainess. So for the past few years staying here in the mansion, I made my reputation high as possible. I had to endure all the tormenting she (Audrey) do to me, I need to act innocent, naïve, and pure little girl. I act as kind as possible, even though I want to destroy everything and kill Audrey, I still need her to furthermore for 'entertainment', I was greedy to take the risk, what will happen next? I got a lot of scars n my body, big deal? I secretly watch her (Audrey) fall asleep every night without her knowing, but I know everything about her. The more I became obsessed with her, I was obsessed with planning to kill her.

As Achlys watched Audrey sleeping peacefully in her bed, she was staring intently 'How obnoxious' she thought.

I planned this, until 'that' day came, I'm planning to kill her in front of Delroy as soon as possible, getting interested in what will happen if she dies earlier in the novel.

No.

I shook my head, I shouldn't think things like that, she was like a sister to me. Mother (duchess Carmellia) treats her like her own daughter as she resembles the late Duke so much. And besides, if the plot does go on as the original plot, maybe she'll be kinder to us.

Shut up.

If it does go on as the original plot, she will get rid of us, since there'll is only one Female lead in the novel. She will take everything away from us, don't you understand? she will take mother, Lilith, even my prince.

Your prince? who?

"..."

She didn't answer any further, I was going crazy, Calm down Achlys.

...

After the Duchess fell ill, Crown prince Delroy visits the Dukedom, as the door just opens, Audrey suddenly throws herself and pretends to cry, you poison her bitch! No!

The Crown prince can only comfort her by patting her head.

Look how uncomfortable he is.

Then his gaze turns to me, I only hide behind Lilith's back, and the maids greet him, for I, only pretend to be a shy person. I know he took fancy to me, as he lay his golden eyes on me. I read in the novel, how Delroy fell in love with Achlys.

The Crown Prince Delroy Heinrich, the male lead of the novel. In the Heir's Game and the original novel, he was both male lead. A cursed prince that was feared by anyone, he had a tragic back story. The Emperor died of sickness, as Delroy's mother was killed by him, and now the Kingdom is no choice but to give the throne to the Second wife of the Emperor as it was stated in the last letter of the Emperor. The current Empress, the second wife Isabella, had a son, the second prince the same age as Delroy, his half-brother, Abaddon.

Abaddon is known as the main villain of the novel. It was a plot twist, Abaddon's first ever appearance was when he helped Delroy to find a cure for his curse, he was kind, gentle, and also a crybaby. He was known as a fragile prince throughout the kingdom since he got easily sick, but even though the Empress doesn't want him to get involved with the cursed prince, he still wanna support his brother. When they were still a child, he would cry if he was not beside Delroy, or he gets bullied often because he was a crybaby and Delroy was always there to protect him.

Never thought that an innocent kind character will be a monster, I need to watch out for him too. All of us are playing a pretend game. How troublesome.

I need to get ready.
