Capture the King's Heart
[You shouldn't have played that game, Master] "Just shut up, Crucifix!" Elena Hartley, an AI Engineer, played a suspicious game until she breathed her last breath in her bathroom. Waking up in the body of Meliora, a character she hated in the game, she knew she was done for. Meliora, an abandoned princess, finally gets the opportunity to see the outside world but is sent to the enemy kingdom to participate in the king's concubine selection. Elena, now Meliora, with her AI robot by her side, must do everything she can to survive until she finds a way back to her world. After meeting the king, who disguised himself as the king's personal knight to help her, will she accept her fate and embrace a love she has never experienced before, or will she find a way to return to her world?
Know your place.
"Wasn't it mind-draining, Crucifix?" Meliora grumbled as she treaded towards the ballroom again. She didn't get why she was doing this, just for a mere concubine selection.
[And I wonder why you are not affected by the fact that none of the members of the royal family in Clariant decided to check up on you.]
"What are they checking up on me for, if not to confirm the status of Meliora being dead? They never cared for me, so I wouldn't care for them," she said with a determined look on her face.
[Then just like the way you are hating these lessons, other noble ladies must be doing the same.]
"No, they are not. I bet they enjoy this lesson as much as the idea of them becoming the Queen," She scoffed, scrunching her brows into a frown.
She thought of her prowess to summon powerful mechanical beings like Crucifix. She wouldn't need anyone's protection once she put the mana inside her to good use.
