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.
Sleeping Beauty
The next morning the both of us woke up late. I made sure to pack the necessary food and water in my pouch. Athena took her bath and came out of her room wearing a sky blue dirndl. The close-fitting bodice of sky blue colour and the white blouse suited her. The long sky blue skirt was apt for her height. She looked different and beautiful wearing a simple dirndl. From the moment I saw her, I had been avoiding her because I was remembering her words last night. She looked puzzled at first but soon she became normal. These hassles were not new between us.
After forbidding goodbye to the village head we started our journey uphill again. Athena was mysteriously silent most of the time. It might be because of the incidents last night.
The first half of the journey was tranquil, unlike the previous times. She was dull and silent. In the middle of the day, we've reached the cliff called parrot cliff. From there we could see the lower areas. It was a pleasant sight.
