As I found myself thrust into this bewildering situation, I couldn't help but wonder if fate had a strange sense of humor. Here I was, once the top A-rank agent, now trapped in the role of a notorious villainess in a reverse harem novel. But why did it had to be the villainess? Well, I don't care! But now that I'm here, I'll enjoy my life to the fullest that I couldn't before. Plus, my family is real rich. Though an issue soon occurred. The female lead keeps sticking to me! I tried to get rid of her by distancing myself since I don't want to end up in the chaos like in the novel… But the female lead is just so adorable!! What would happen if the once fearsome antagonist was now trying to protect the very person she once tormented? "Sabiiiii!" Ann's voice chimed, her eyes sparkling with innocence. It was hard to resist her charm, and I found myself softening despite my initial intentions. And it seems the so-called main suitors are suffering from collective amnesia. They flocked to me, oblivious to the fact that Anne was the true focus of their affections. "Stay Away! I will not give you my lovely Ann," I declared, my frustration mounting. "Who said I wanted her?" The chaos continued with the supposed fiancé as well, who seemed convinced that our engagement was set in stone, "You are my soon-to-be fiancée! Please compose yourself" "I refuse to get engaged to you and to compose, whatever that is". "Don't you think you're quite rude to your soon-to-be Fiancé?" "I'm not rude, you're too nice! And I told you I'm not getting engaged to you" "Thank you, my Lady" "…Are you dumb?!!!" What in the world of strawberries was going on indeed? It was a baffling and comical twist of fate. But as the days passed, I found myself navigating this bizarre world with a newfound determination. If I was going to be stuck in this story, I might as well do it my way. And who knows, maybe I could turn this chaotic tale into something truly extraordinary.
I was in my depressing thoughts that I didn't realize we were already in front of the Royal family when Shane nudged my shoulder, making me come back to reality from my horrifying 'dying single' future.
"Huh? Ah!" I bowed, "Greetings to the Sun and Moon of the Empire. Greeting to the Consort and Second Prince," I stood straight when a wince left my mouth upon the pinch I received from my dearest Mother.
I looked at her in disbelief. Her smile was scary. She looked at me, still smiling, "You haven't greeted the Crown Prince yet, Sabrina Niam"
She called my full name. I'm dead. I looked at the wretched piece of waste of oxygen who was already looking at me with an intent gaze. It's always this guy who gets me in trouble, no wonder the original Sabrina hated him.
I bowed again, "Greetings" and stood up not uttering a word more. I thought I was going to receive a smack now but instead, I heard a chuckle. A manly one at that.
It was the Emperor.
