[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?
"This is a mountain beast called the Eight Ice Stripe Tiger. If you move just one step, or even if you just shiver, the beast will kill you in one strike," the mysterious man explained as he kept his eyes on the tiger. His whole body was trying to stay still, but internally, he was trembling in fear.
'This mountain beast is so rare to see. What could be the reason why it appeared so suddenly? Especially in such a run-down cave?'
His eyes wobbled, but he made sure not even to breathe. Meliora, on the other hand, kept her eyes steady on the beast. The tiger growled at her, and in its mouth was a cub.
It took another step forward and then whimpered, placing the cub on top of Meliora's thigh before taking several steps back.
[Master, I think it wants you to take care of it. Try to move slowly and see what she does,] Crucifix offered, and Meliora gulped, taking the huge risk of moving her hand slowly but calmly towards the beast's nose.
