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.
Old Friends
Merlin and Henry seemed more than happy to see me alive. I looked at Alastair who was standing far away. He understood what I meant. He walked to the other two men sitting in front of me.
"Corporals, they are old friends. We should give them some time," he looked at me and the other two.
"Sure," the Corporals seemed fine with that. I understood that Henry and Merlin had been doing a good job and earned the respect of other soldiers. Otherwise, there is a high chance for the Corporals to make a fuss about it.
Soon. Alastair also walked out of the room, leaving the three of us to talk. But none of the two immediately started. They looked too overjoyed to speak properly immediately.
Suddenly as if he had remembered, Merlin called my name, "Victor, about Her Highness...."
"Yes, I forgot that," Henry continued. Now I creased at them. "What about Her Highness?" I questioned.
"You must have misunderstood Her Highness that day," said Merlin.
