Chapter 39

"Hey!" I shouted as run towards her while lifting my dress.

Unfortunately, she disappeared before I could even explain everything. I placed my hand on one tree.

This game became complicated. Why did those developers knock off my Jenga tower when I'm in the middle of placing my blocks?

I am a mere employee. What can I do?

For now, let us serve my new target.

"Did you like your room? I could arrange another one if you'd like." Mercella asked.

After all, we unload my things.

"I am fine with everything," I said.

She giggled. "It was my first time to hear those words from a noble lady."

"Your Highness. Thanks for your kindness."

The girl in a messy bun was Pauline.

"I like it, Your Highness."

This lady who can't even look at her eyes is Sharon. I heard she had a boutique.

Lady Mercella clapped.

  • Get Out Of My Way, Devilish Duke!   Her Misery

    My elementary school teacher said that life is like sailing, a perilous one. It was relaxing to hear the waves crashing when the weather was beautiful. But sometimes, the storm comes, and the huge waves crash. It will capsize your boat.And that storm is what I felt.During December, the students had different reactions. First, they are happy because Christmas vacation is finally starting. Second, others were worrying about whether they can pass. They also get anxious if there were incomplete projects.If you would ask me, I am quite happy. There were no projects to finish, and I surely passed this semester. Here I am staring at a poster where I am third in ...“You are a genius! Could you please donate some intelligence?” one of my classmates joked.I just laughed and said he was also smart. He nodded, tore off a page of his notebook, twisted the paper, and glued the two ends together to make a paper crown.He walked like

  • Get Out Of My Way, Devilish Duke!   The Job Offer Was Too Good To Be True!

    I ran out of bread. I did not know if it was because I starved. Maybe because the great job offer I found thrilled me.I felt suspicious here. Was the company willing to pay 20 million pesos for the game tester alone?I am here today in front of the building. A stunned fool—that was my reaction. Whenever I get hold of the door handle, I cannot push it. My hands retreated on their own.No one came in here. If there was, I would have received complaints because I blocked the way.Since when it became difficult for me to open a door? The problem lies with the fact that my mind and heart were arguing. My mind reminded the consequences of this risky venture. The heart retaliated that I must consider the safety of my siblings.“Here is my resume. Where is your bathroom?”Yes, I gambled on a highly unusual job offer. But why?I love the twins. They make me happy. I would not forgive myself if something bad happened to them

  • Get Out Of My Way, Devilish Duke!   This is It!

    I closed my eyes as I sensed the strong wind blowing in the hot weather.Only then did I open my eyes when I heard the voice of a man who seemed to look for someone."Beth, I searched everywhere to find you."My eyes widened when I felt someone hug me from behind. His hands were on my waist. His chin rested on my shoulder.It felt like someone threw a bucket of icy water on me. All my body hair stood up.I struggled with extreme fear.Who is this man? Where did he get the courage to hug me ?!When I was about to confront him, he disappeared.I was the only one in this vast lavender field.Where did that go?"Big Sister! Wake up!"I rolled my eyes because of the ear-splitting voice.I knew it was a dream that is almost a nightmare.I guess my dream is weird. I did not want to have a boyfriend. Is it the ef

    A rectangular hologram gleamed with golden lights floated in the air.Task: Befriend MiuerellaXP Points: 500Dynastic Points: 500The object that glowed like a star slowly evaporated into bubbles after a minute.I shook my head in disbelief. The story clearly stated that Bethany and Miuerella met at their coming of age ceremony.I had this strong desire to grab the book once again.Bethany, a woman as fragile as glass. The Marchioness even had this ridiculous delusion that anything would make her daughter sick. She always inspected dust in their furniture by smudging her finger on the surface. Any maids who failed to comply with the cleaning standards faced punishment. Children avoided her in fear that they might break her bones.The present Bethany was an exception.Dipping my slender, rough feet in the gluey, trodden mud was not a problem. When the violent storm hit my city, the entire community even dived in th

  • Get Out Of My Way, Devilish Duke!   I Am Stanning The Duke?

    This is the first time I have taken part in a staring game. None of us tried to look away as if we had a non-verbal agreement in which the first to give up was the loser.The poor Crown Prince became the mediator.“Good job, Lady Bethany! I think the Duke had the same opinion,” the Crown Prince declared.Duke Frederick just let out a smile before saying, “Your Highness, I agree with your statement,”If you had agreed earlier, I would have gotten inside.They started walking towards the manor. I waited until they took several steps.This was not stupidity. The shitty game world had complex rules. There was an etiquette saying that people of higher ranks should go first. Women should remember this. There should also be distance when an unmarried woman and man interacted. Like every rule, there were exceptions.I strolled as I rubbed my palms and breathed on them. I was thankful to Reyner for giving me

  • Get Out Of My Way, Devilish Duke!   The Tale of Madeline's Ruby

He forbade the princess from playing outside, and for her playmates, they had to go through the emperor’s deliberate selection.The princess understood why her parents did that, but she still wanted to be free. She did not have the courage to express the request, it would shatter into pieces just by imagining the consequences.One day, the emperor had to travel to the other kingdom.“Father, be careful on your journey, I’ll wait for your return.”The emperor kissed the child on the forehead before riding on his carriage.The princess's skin tingled when she witnessed the intrusion of an unknown man.“Mister, if you wanted to propose, I can’t accept it.

    Madeline’s Ruby, a stolen magical artifact. The current emperor made efforts to locate this magnificent thing, but still failed.Everyone in the dining hall dropped their silverware, drunken men suddenly became sober.Reyner gulped his red wine in one go.“Bethany, were you sure that was the real Madeline’s Ruby?” he asked.“Your Highness, Duke Klein will answer all of our suspicions.”They all turned to him. Duke Klein, my father’s best friend, Miuerella’s biological father, most of all, one of the most influential Dukes in the entire empire. I shifted everyone’s attention to him because this guy is an expert with magical artifacts. One of his businesses was selling such things.He glanced from left to right before we had eye contact. He heaved a sigh before turning to the Crown Prince.“Your Highness, please allow me to examine the ring on the statue.”&nbs

    "Fred, my dear, no matter what happens, promise me you would make this a secret."Though he was clueless why he would need to hide his gift, he agreed with his mother's statement.Not until one day, he learned about the death of his father from the maids. Solipique. A taboo tradition where two people could switch elements. Placing the starved victim in a magic circle while mumbling the spell was the required step. If you were the one who did the ritual, there were no side effects. But if you are the victim, it inflicted a curse on your body.Random symbols crawled their skin. It would glow up, and a burning sensation penetrated every tissue of their human being. The intense pain was worse than dying. The artificial way of obtaining an element caused it.If you could not bear the pain, the quick fix for it was to say goodbye in this world. By doing this, you would also prevent the person who stole your element from using it. The people involved in the ritual shoul

  • Get Out Of My Way, Devilish Duke!   First Kiss

    Soaking my body in steamy warm water infused with aromatic essential oils and flower petals was on the next level of luxury. When your life was chaotic, it was a necessity. I wish I could also soak my problems and watch them disappear in water.Two hours was enough to prepare for my little adventure.Food, extra clothes, water, book, paper, self-made first aid kit, pillow, and blanket.They’re not in the house, so I left my message with our butler.Few kilometers away from our estate was a peaceful mountain called Trevkor. The 350m mountain had a mildly strenuous hiking trail as well.I instructed them to pick me up before the sunset. Wild animals won’t hurt me.Of course, I would never enter a war without weapons. My second drawstring bag contained things I need to defend myself, considering I would stay here for 6 hours. From a utility knife to a makeshift stove, I pulled them all.Back in my world, I also had this same

    The Prince left the moment he heard his announcement. I glanced to my left when a big rough hand overlapped mine. "Let's go to Lady Miuerella." We were already standing in Ella's room before I noticed it. The weight I carried on my back became heavier when I saw her bright smile. She pulled my hand and whispered how happy she was. Her writer's block left. "Beth, what's the Duke doing here?" "He would escort us back to Daria." She frowned. "Why so soon? I thought we are going to celebrate the festival with them?""Someone ate Prince's Reyner's fruit." She remained silent while the stream of tears flowed onto her cheeks. In Daria, there is a tradition that involved the members of the Imperial Family. They could only marry someone who has eaten Persephone's pomegranate. Well, yes. The author added a touch of Greek mythology. When

    "Big Brother!" She dropped the stuffed bunny on the floor and ran towards her brothers. "We missed you. Look, I met two princesses from another Kingdom. You want to meet a princess, right?" Leo lifted her, looked at his sister with fatherly loving eyes. If their enemies saw this scene, they would kidnap the vulnerable girl. "Brother, put me down! I will greet the princesses." The little girl hit her brother's chest. Leo chuckled before granting his sister's request. She attacked us with her overflowing cuteness when she gave us a curtsy. She almost hit her head on the floor when she lost her balance. Good thing I caught her in my arms. Her brothers rushed to her side and called for the Royal physician. We did the same thing and introduced ourselves when the doctor told us there was nothing wrong with her body. She drove her brothers away until they reached the exit door. Liam sniffed, knelt on the floor,

    "Dame Bethany! I'm glad you visited! Come, join with us!"Barging in during the hour where the Imperial couple savored their tea together made me feel ruthless. Whatever I've already done."Greeting to the Suns of Daria."In this world, a curtsy was a must.The Empress pointed at the seat next to her.There was a welcoming spirit in the air I did not understand."Were you here because you'll tell us about your pregnancy? I am here to protect your reputation."I smiled at how close the Empress and the Duchess were. Oh, yeah, they were siblings after all.I shook my head and cleared my throat."Your Imperial Majesty, this woman believes in the purity before marriage. Also, I went here to ask for your Imperial Highness's permission.""You'll ask permission to marry our nephew? Oh, I admire your braveness. As the rulers of this Empire, we will impose the rules."I choked cause the moment the Emperor said those

    His eyes widened and murmured."I had to accept that the heavens won't give me to you."He announced we must reveal our cards now. I accepted it.First was his card. He had a straight because he had 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 cards."Please reveal yours."Ten of hearts,Ten of diamonds,Ten of spades,Nine of hearts,Nine of diamonds, which meant..."A full house. Congratulations, you didn't have to marry a jerk like me."He extended his hand to mine. There was one more thing I had to ask, though."Why Prince Liam? We did not spend enough time together but, in all the people, you were the one who cared about authenticity the most."Yeah, when he revealed himself as the Prince of Tozia, that's when I saw his character's stats.

    Based on my conversation with Nora, it was not surprising to see my face in the newspaper.Dame Grimaldi, an authentic life Countess Brivaldi?Ridiculous! In Miurella's novel, Countess Bianca Brivaldi fought for her love even though the world was against them.I shook my head as my teeth chewed the sausage. Starting today, I had to fuel my body by eating more carbs and protein.I asked for another serving while my brother smiled as I pig-out in front of him.My decision was right when the archery training began.
