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.
A Mere Character
We unmounted the camel and walked to the group of people standing by the rock. The Astrana soldiers bowed at the king but the three prisoners gawked since they were not sure what to do.
I was looking at the ground as much as possible. Looking at Victor would only worsen everything.
The king asked all the Astrana soldiers to leave and wait by the horses. He too followed them and sat on a rock far away, looking at the sand dancing to the wind. I was left alone with VIctor and others to 'talk'.
"Your Highness, Is his Majesty wants to banish us?"
"Henry, Merlin... you two are demoted as the palace guards, again," I spoke in a low voice.
"We'll be fine Your Highness," the two chorused.
"Sorry for the trouble I've caused you and thank you for not pointing fingers at me even at the death stage. I'm forever indebted to you guys."
"No no, you were the one who went through so much to save us," Merlin replied.
