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.
Farewell
The four conditions...
The four conditions that could save four lives... That could change my fate together with theirs...
'Should I agree to this bargain?'
I once again ... the magnanimous great hall once. The queen had still not recovered from the shock. The king was still squinting at me, expecting a reply. Still, as if he have all the time in the world and can wait forever, he kept silent, letting me think without persuading me further.
'Should I say yes?'
After a very long silence, the queen spoke. "...What about Edward?"
"..."
"What about my son?" this time, there was anger in her voice. "You were the one who saw this desire in him. Now how could you do this to him?"
The king's head now turned to Her Majesty. His eyes narrowed. "It's not about me and my son, Olivia. It's about Astrana and its people," he paused then looked at me still with a squint and continued. "A true king wouldn't forsake his people."
