Prologue

Inside a quiet coffee shop.

I waited for him nervously.

For my boyfriend, Kim Dong-hyun.

“Sorry, I’m a little late.”

Dong-hyun sat across the table, smiling.

“You look prettier today than usual. Is it because you contacted me first and asked me to meet you? Usually, I’d always ask you to meet me first.

I didn’t say anything.

I took small deep breaths and said the words that have been secretly kept inside of me.

“Let’s break up, I can’t do this anymore.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden, did something happen?”

“I’m fed up with you. You’re creepy and scary.”

His expression became grim.

“Who’s breaking up with you? Not me.”

“It’s awful just seeing your face.”

Dong-hyun suddenly looked at me with fierce eyes.

“Are you seeing another guy other than me?”

“What?”

“You seem happy. Who is he?”

I looked at Dong-hyun, tired.

I’ve had enough.

When he looks at me with suspicious eyes, I get goosebumps all over my body.

At first, I liked Dong-hyun’s pure heart that only looked at me.

But as time went by, Dong-hyun’s feelings towards me gradually changed into obsession and possessiveness.

It’s painful just looking at your face.

“Stop it. That’s why I hate you. This relationship is making me feel suffocated.”

“You’re suffocated?”

Yes, I am. We should have broken up earlier. I was a fool for holding it in.”

“Se-yeon….”

“You’re sick. Go to the hospital and get treatment.”

I looked at Dong-hyun, angry.

“Are you treating me like a psychopath?”

“You can think however you like, but it’s true that there’s something wrong with you. Let’s stop here. Stop picking on me.”

I rose up from my seat with my bag.

“I’ll be going first. Let’s not see each other again.”

Dong-hyun was shocked by my words.

Still, I can’t help it.

I also need to breathe.

I turned away from him.

Suddenly, Dong-hyun got up and ran to hold my wrist.

“Where are you going? I can’t let you go even if I die.”

“I want to break up with you because I hate you!”

Upon hearing my words, Dong-hyun laughed hard.

“Really? But what should I do? I don’t want to break up with you.”

Dong-hyun pulled my wrist and exited the cafe in a hurry.

“Come on, let go of me!”

No matter how hard I struggled, Dong-hyun dragged me away without budging.

“Where are you dragging me to?”

“I’d rather die with you than break up. If we die together, you’ll be mine forever.”

“What?”

Dong-hyun’s eyes were filled with anger.

“We’re going to die together, just like we promised. Se-yeon.”

“Are you crazy?”

“Oh, I’m crazy about you.”

Dong-hyun dragged me into the road.

And, a huge dump truck hit us, as if it had been waiting for us to get into the road.

That was my last….

Chapter 1 - Become Priscilla

Become Priscilla

Early in the morning Priscilla opened her eyes. I had the same dream again. It was a dream of being dragged away by a lunatic then getting killed. He is the incarnation of obsession. When I asked to break up, I just died with him. In the end, it was, but …

“Because of that lunatic, I will live differently.”

Who knew I would be in a novel. Lee Se-yeon, who lives in Korea, becomes a character in the novel after dying.

But the question is,

“Why is this Extra (Supporting Character)?”

“I will die in a cage made by the mad tyrant emperor”

She was a princess of the Oreon Kingdom, but was sold to the crazy emperor by her father, King Gong.

More importantly, it is an Extra that dies after a few lines of conversation at the beginning of the novel.

After awakening as Priscilla, I thought it was a dream at first. I thought it was a waste after death, and I was either in heaven or in the underworld.

After spending a week like that with all kinds of imaginations, I realized that this world exists in a novel, not in a country or in the underworld.

How could this crazy thing happen? The novels I’m into now are the ones I read every time I get stressed out by my boyfriend.

‘Sigh’

But then … I became an Extra.

‘Sigh’

“Priscilla! Priscilla! Come on! Aren’t you going to do anything?”

This is a character I don’t really know, and there isn’t much other information. This is a character who died without a single page.

Apart from that, there was nothing that could be done.

She is locked up in a cage made by the crazy emperor, but he cannot dream of running away because of her family abandonment.

So what power do you have to work? I can’t even dream.

All I can do is get that Female Lead to show up quickly and blow up this cage and get freedom.

When the Female Lead appeared, the mad emperor fell in love with her, destroyed the place and built a new palace and dedicated it to her.

Then the princesses trapped here will have freedom. Because the crazy emperor let them go.

The problem is that I have to wait in silence until then. Because I don’t know when that will happen.

‘Sigh,’

‘Another sigh.’

“I almost died and survived, but I may die again in the future.”

In fact, Priscilla initially died of suicide, and Lee Se-yeon occupied her empty body. So fabulous. Priscilla who was magically revived.

The bigger problem is …

After Priscilla was locked up, the palace was where the princesses of every country were gathered by the mad emperor is more like a prison.

The emperor of the Francsian Empire was a war fanatic and a tyrant. When he was building up an army, every country on the continent was tense. This was because the sword he was aiming at could handle any continent.

Because he was the continent’s best swordsman and emperor of the continent, the strongest empire. Every time he conquered, he took the most beautiful princesses of the country hostage.

He caught them and put them in a prison called the palace.

And the princesses were given a special gift. They are the Gold Crown and the Silver Crown.

Naturally, Priscilla was nothing. It was because the emperor did not give anything to her.

If you do not receive the Gold or Silver Crown, you are likely to be ignored.

Besides, I’m not in a situation to choose. I was even abandoned by my family and country. So I have no choice but to make a good choice.

“I can’t help it now.”

Because I don’t have the ability or money to escape. All I have is a beautiful body.

“I have to go, disappear from the palace after the Female Lead appears.

I will be free.

When the Female Lead appeared, the emperor then destroyed the palace and built a palace for her. And all the princesses who have been caught are released.

All princesses who have a place to return will be sent home. And the princess who has no place to return will be married off in a suitable marriage.

You just have to wait until then, but the problem is …

“Jesstina, the villain.”

Jesstina, the villain, has ruled the palace ever since. Priscilla’s decision to commit suicide was also influenced by Jesstina.

Jesstina had harassed Priscilla because she was prettier than herself. She is the only princess of a rich kingdom and came here of her own accord.

Unlike other princesses, she could spend money like water, and she had the largest number of servants in the palace.

Fortunately, armed fights did not occur due to the rule that not a single knight could be stationed in the palace.

“It would be great if the villain didn’t touch me …”

Is that possible?

Maybe, that’s not possible. It was because Priscilla was so beautiful that it was difficult to put into words. Bright pink hair was the continent’s only color, and ruby-red eyes moved so much that their depth was unknown.

In addition, red lips like cherries were moisturised as if juice would immediately flow out if touched, and skin was pure white like jade without blemishes. And a thin body that makes someone want to protect it.

So, didn’t the crazy emperor attack the Oreon Kingdom and threaten to sacrifice Priscilla? When he threatened to turn the Kingdom into a lake of fire, King Gong had no choice but to offer Priscilla. Thanks to this, the Oreon Kingdom is safe.

That much, Priscilla’s beauty must have been considered extraordinary. So it’s only natural for the villain, Jesstina to be jealous.

On the first day Priscilla entered as concubine, Jesstina came and spoke badly. And from time to time in front of other princesses she ignored and humiliated Priscilla. As a result, Priscilla could not survive and took her life. So Priscilla had to disappear from this novel.

However, when Lee Se-yeon took over Priscilla’s body, she had to live in this world as Priscilla. It was a novel, no matter how it went.

‘Somehow I will survive and find freedom and live proudly.’

Lee Se-yeon decided so.

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I died unjustly halfway in Korea, so why don’t I live here with a better life?

Even though it’s a book, it’s a world where people live.

This is a novel, won’t the story stop when the main character leads it? Priscilla is an Extra for the last. It doesn’t matter what the Extras do.

Lee Se-yeon, no, she who became Priscilla decided to think positively. It happened because of my crazy ex-boyfriend, but I just need to eat well and live well here. I can’t go back to Korea because I’m dead, so why can’t I live well here? I just need to endure until that Female Lead appears.

If only the Female Lead appears, this palace will disappear and then I will gain freedom.

Until then, I have no choice but to wait quietly.

Priscilla called out to the maid by pulling the rope from the ceiling.

‘I think too much and I’m hungry.’

“You called, Princess Priscilla.”

“I’m hungry, bring me something to eat”

“Yes, Princess Priscilla.”

After a while, the maid brought something to eat. It’s a sandwich. But I can’t even eat a sandwich. It was because the villain appeared.

A beautiful woman with black hair came suddenly. She is Jesstina, the famous wicked woman in the palace.

Jesstina led the large number of maids in the room, looking at me and laughing at me.

“You are alive.”

Priscilla looked at Jesstina with both eyes and was very surprised to see a wicked woman in a novel like the one who connected the novel.

Sfe had eyes torn like rats, with red lips like food and a nose high up in the sky.

“What do you look so staring at?”

“Dare you not even greet me? The Golden Crown?”

I laughed when Jesstina glared at me. Because it’s funny.

The reason why the emperor didn’t care whether it was the Gold Crown or the Silver Crown was because the princesses were in the same position.

Just because they weren’t Gold or Silver Crowns, didn’t change the situation of other princesses. However, I have to stay in this palace until the Female Lead appears.

Besides, the emperor didn’t sleep with the princesses. What a strange person. He only collected beautiful princesses to admire. Even so, the princesses showed well to the emperor and tried to slept with him. Although the results will be in vain.

With such hopes, the princesses live in a prison called this palace. Jesstina is also one of them. Her goal is to become an empress. To do that, despite being drained in the kingdom, he came to the palace with her own foot.

If her country had enormous wealth, she believed that the emperor would also choose herself.

So Priscilla laughed. That’s so funny. Jesstina? I’m not scared at all. Because it was Priscilla’s weak statement, but Lee Se-yeon who had lived in Korea. I won’t live without getting beaten up like Priscilla.

“Why do I have to greet first? Isn’t you, the one who came first? “

“What?”

Jesstina looked at Priscilla with a silly face.

“Are you crazy?”

“I’m not crazy at all. And don’t speak informally.”

Jesstina looked at Priscilla with a face that said that Priscilla and herself were not the same.

“I am different from you. It is different from you who was released by your kingdom.”

“What’s the difference? Do you have more money given to me? Yes, I admit it. But what is it? Isn’t our situation like having a workshop in the palace?”

“Workshop?”

When Jesstina frowned as if in confusion, Priscilla realized her mistake.

‘Oh no, you don’t know that word here. I am a term from Korea aware of it. ‘

“Workshop is a word used in a very distant country, and it means sleeping alone in an empty room.”

Jesstina’s face, which understood the meaning, turned red and green.

“You …! How dare you!”

“Can you stop now? I have to eat.”

“Huh, amazing!”

Jesstina looked at Priscilla with an absurd look. She was a woman who couldn’t even lift her head because she was reporting like a mouse when she saw herself.

But now, Priscilla saw herself like this and even answered her question. That courage comes after surviving death.

Jesstina glanced at the servants.

“Come here.”

“Yes, Princess Jesstina.”

At her command, the maids try to approaching Priscilla. When the servants reach Priscilla …

‘I don’t think it’s going to go well.’

Priscilla got up from her chair with a smile.

While I was afraid of being followed by Kim Dong-hyun, so I studied martial arts in my spare time.

“It can’t be like that.”

Priscilla surprised Jesstina by defeating the maids one by one with the self-defense she had learned.

“What, nonsense!”

Priscilla approached Jesstina and pointed her finger at the door.

“Should we stop or do more here?”

Jesstina bit her lip tightly.

“I’ll just go today, but you’ll regret it.”

Everywhere, wicked women and villain said such lines.

Is it natural that this is also in the novel?

Jesstina cursed the maid’ stupidity and opened the door violently. Then peace came.

Priscilla called the maid, trembling in the corner outside the door. Priscilla approached cautiously as the maid swallowed dry saliva.

“What is your name?”

“Li, this is Lien.”

“How old are you?”

“Sixteen.”

“Sixteen?”

My God, isn’t this the age of a high school student in Korea? I can realize how old this world is.

“Can I ask you something?”

“Of course.”

Priscilla smiled happily and asked the following question,

“Is there a maid for me?”

“Yes, it is me.”

The more maids you have, the stronger you will be in the palace. Of course, the first was Jesstina, and after that, some of the princesses had many maids.

Of course, there are princesses who have only one maid like Priscilla. Priscilla asked Lien such and such a question.

From this concubine to the emperor and the Francsian Empire. So I can roughly see how it will turn out. Priscilla thanked Lien for her sincere reply and suggested having dinner together.

“Oh no!”

Then Lien stubbornly refused. According to the rules, a servant may not enjoy anything with her employer. But Priscilla didn’t care. It’s because I really hate eating alone.

Finally, Lien was forced to eat together because of Priscilla’s command.

“Let’s continue eating together in the future.”

“But … Rules …”

“It’s okay, the employer, I gave permission. And I hate eating alone.”

Lien looked at Priscilla with an understanding face. Because there is no lonely place like this one. In addition, Priscilla is a princess who has been insulted by her country and her family.

Yawning and stretching, looking out of the window, it was already midnight, and Lien, who wanted to miss it, got up from his seat.

“Yes, the time has come. I will get ready to sleep.”

‘I’m sleeping comfortably after all this time.’

***

Late at night, the offices inside the Imperial Palace were still on. Inside, a black haired man was reading a book and leaning on the sofa.

His blue eyes did not fall from the unfolding book. He is Michael, who is famous as an emperor and tyrant of the Francsian Kingdom. While in the middle of the book, he heard a knock. Michael opened his mouth without drawing attention from the book.

“Come in.”

The middle-aged woman who had quietly opened the office door and entered, leaned forward.

“Greeting His Majesty the Great Sun Empire.”

Michael closed the book he was reading and looked at her. She was Mrs. Margaret, the butler of the palace who worked directly under the emperor, in charge of overseeing the palace.

Margaret manages and oversees all the maids in the palace. Also, she was responsible for reporting to the emperor everything that happened in the palace.

“Seeing me at this time, it looks like something happened. Is Jesstina acting up again?”

Margaret then reports to Michael what happened at the palace.

“Priscilla? It’s a big deal for Jesstina to be defeated by Princess Priscilla.”

Priscilla is a beautiful but weak princess. Not long ago, she attempted suicide and miraculously survived. Then she met Jesstina.
