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.
The Creative Punishment
When we reached the cave at the base of the mountain, it was pitch dark as she predicted. My eyesight got adapted to the darkness, but Athena was stumbling her way up to the cave. Still, she rejected me when I gave her a helping hand.
When I whispered in her ear on the horse, I originally tried to calm her down. But it looked like the effect was the exact opposite. She hadn't spoken anything to me since then.
Once we reached inside the cave, she sat down on a stone keeping a ten feet distance between the two of us. 'What's the point? She has to mount the same horse with me tomorrow,' I clenched my jaw. After that, to let her relax, I went to out find some firewood.
"Don't wander around. I'll be back soon," I told her.
"Where are you going?" she asked, her eyes expressing fear.
"To get firewood, It will get cold." She nodded in acknowledgement.
