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

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

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

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

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.

I was on cloud nine after seeing the notification that I received 500 XP and Dynastic points.My throat was getting ready so I could hit the soprano note when someone slapped the wall with all his might, enough for me to flinch.Did this dude kabedoned me?I dreamt of this scene because of my anime addiction. However, I never imagined that a despicable man crushed my dream in an instant.“Thanks for your help, but it’s getting late, and need at least eight hours of sleep.”She nodded and meandered while avoiding the Duke’s ominous stare.When my attendant’s silhouette became smaller as she moved further away from us, it was at this moment that I had to activate my facade.Reyner told that he was sick to the point of skipping the banquet earlier. It turned out that the Crown Prince’s words were a bluff.“Your Grace, what brings you here?” I asked.He shook his head, pr

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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,
