Evangeline Ethare pov.

"What should we do now...?" I couldn't help to anxiously asked my friends.

The four of us are currently discussing about our lightnovel-like situation in Stephan's house.

"Well, shouldn't we just enjoy our new life here?" Said Selene with her carefree smile.

Hahh....Selene is really still as carefree as ever.....It's useless to ask this kind of things to her.....

"Well....that's actually pretty right, it's not like we can go back to our previous world....." Said Giselle.

Well....if Giselle also said so....

Oh, that's right. You must be curious about how the four of us can meet each other again in this world. Our apperance in this world are the same as our apperance in our previous world. That's how the four of us recognized each other for the first time. We first met each other 3 days ago when Duke Clarkson invited all the noble's children to celebrate Stephan's birthday at an orphanage.

"Should we finished our missions like we did in the game?" Asked Stephan with his soft voice.

I chuckle in my heart when I realized that Stephan is also still as timid as he was in our previous life.

"I don't think we should. This is not a game anymore after all. If we die in the mission, we will die for real," said Giselle.

"Ahh... I will choose to not experience that again....." I shivered from the thoughts of having to die again.

Trust me, dying is not a pleasant thing at all.

"Well, I'm pretty sure that we won't die here, as long as we live our life quietly and avoid all the dangerous capture targets," said Giselle.

Stephan and I nod our heads in agreement with Giselle's words.

Giselle is also still as grown up as ever. She is the type that will make people feel safe around her.

It feels really nostalgic since all of them seems like they didn't change at all.

"If I remember correctly, in the game, our first contact with the capture target was when we are about 16 years old, at the hunting ground, right?" Asked Giselle.

Selene nod her head to answer Giselle's question.

"Ah! That mean, as long as we don't go to the hunting ground at that time, we won't meet them, right?!" I asked them with my sparkling eyes.

Giselle nod her head with a smile full of determination.

"Let's live a peaceful life together in this world," said Giselle.

Giselle Ailith pov.

After we finished our discussion in Stephan's house, I bid my farewell to Duke Clarkson and his wife, and immediately go back to my house.

When I arrive at home, both of my parents were already waiting for me in our living room.

"I am back, Mother, Father," I greeted them with a sincere smile on my face.

"Aww~ You're back, my cute little princess," After seeing my return, my father quickly get up from his seat and give me a big hug.

"So? Tell me, what did my little princess do at Duke Clarkson's house today?" Asked my father curiously.

"I'm just having a light chat with the duke's son and his friends, Father," I really hope that my father will end his questions here. What should I do if he ask me about what did we chat about?!

"A light chat? Do you perhaps like the duke's son?!" Asked my father again.

Well, that's pretty random....I'm relieved that he doesn't ask about what did we chat about. But, hey! Is he serious?! He asked me if I like Stephan?! Well, of course I like him, but only as a friend! I don't have any romantic feelings towards him, okay?! But, what should I say now? His question seems more like an accusation to me. If I deny his words, then he will surely ask me more and more questions! Should I just say that I like Stephan then?!

"Ronald, Giselle must be tired from the long journey to Duke Clarkson's house. We should let her rest for now," my lovely mother finally opened her mouth and save me from my father's interrogation.

I look at my mother with my sparkling eyes. Thanks Mother! You are the best!!

My father seems reluctant to let me go, but because my mother start to nag at him, he finally let me go to rest in my room.

"Then, I'll go to my room, good night Father, Mother," I quickly take my leave before my father change his mind.

This day is really tiring.....

After I entered my room, I immediately throw my body to my comfortable bed.

It feels so good to lie down like this after such a tiring day....

Just when I'm about to close my eyes, suddenly I heard a loud sound coming from my balcony. Startled, I jump out from my bed and fixed my eyes on the balcony's door which is covered by curtains.

Oh gosh......

I muster up all my courage and start to faintheartedly walk towards the balcony's door.

"W-who is there?" I tried to calm myself down, but my words are still stuttering.

I can't help it! I'm really scared, you know?! I really want to call for help, but it will surely cause a big commotions! Moreover, it will be really embarrassing if that sound turn out to be just my imagination!

I'm already right in front of my balcony's door now, but no one answer my question.

Maybe it's really just my imagination?

Once again, I muster up my courage and cleave apart the curtains.

No one is in my balcony....

I let out a big sigh from my mouth.

It's really just my imagination after all.... It's a relief that I didn't shout for help before....

I must be really tired that I start to hallucinating things.....

Just when I'm about to close the curtains back, I realized that there is something in the corner of my balcony.

No, it's not a person. I guess it is a....letter...? It was tied to a stone.

Is this the cause of the loud sound before? I think someone want to throw this letter to my balcony, but it hit the balcony's door instead. It makes sense this way.

After once again confirming that there is really no one in my balcony, I open the balcony's door and pick up the letter.

That was my initial plan, but once I step out to the balcony, an arrow in high speed immediately fly towards me. I tried to dodge it, but in the end it still wound my left shoulder. Well, it is already a relief that it didn't pierce my heart though. But still, this is so damn hurts.

After that arrow pierced my left shoulder, I try my best to move away from the balcony and shout for help.

Hearing my shout, my father, mother, and the guards immediately barge in to my room. They are very shocked to see my condition.

"What happened to you, Giselle?!! Hurry and summon the doctor!!" My father is in panic to see my condition. He order the guards to immediately bring some doctors for me.

Bloods keep coming out from my wounded shoulder and my head start to get dizzy.

It hurts.....

That was the last thing that I can remember berfore everything goes dark.

Stephan Clarkson pov.

Today, after Eline, Giselle, and Selene left, I fell from the stairs and sprained my ankle. It's indeed a bit hurt to walk, but my mother exaggerate it and end up dragging Doctor Greyham, our country's best doctor to our house.

"How is my son's condition, doctor?" Asked my mother worriedly.

"Don't worry Duchess Clarkson, your son just sprained his ankle. I already applied some medicine, he will be okay after several days of rest," said Doctor Greyham with a smile.

"Really?? That's a relief....." answered my mother with a relieved smile on her face.

After Doctor Greyham finished my treatment, suddenly a white pigeon with a letter tied on its foot come to my room. It seems that it come for Doctor Greyham.

Doctor Greyham's eyes widened as he read that letter.

"What's wrong doctor?" Asked my mother.

"It seems that Earl Ailith's daughter was attacked by an assassin. He need me to come and treat her as soon as possible," said Doctor Greyham worriedly.

My eyes widened in shocked to hear his statement. Earl Ailith only has one daughter. And it is Giselle.

"A-assassin....?" I feel like my head is starting to spin now.

"Eh? Do you know her, Young Master?" Asked Doctor Greyham who seem to notice my shocked expression.

At that time I was too shocked to answer his question, but Doctor Greyham still explained Giselle's condition to me.

"Her shoulder was shot by an arrow. It's looks like her condition is pretty bad and no doctor could treat her injuries," said Doctor Greyham.

"Oh my....what should we do? Earl Ailith's house is very far from here, you will need at least two hours to go there," said my mother worriedly.

"That's right, I'm afraid it will be too late when I arrived," said Doctor Greyham with a sad face.

"But still, I will try my best. I'll take my leave now Duchess Clarkson, Young Master," Doctor Greyham run to his carriage after he bid his farewell to us.

This won't do! Two hours is way too long! I'm not sure if Giselle will be able to wait for that long!

What should I do? What should I do?!!

I rack my brain and try my best to find a way to help Giselle.

"Ah! Mother, how far is the Leonardo Orphanage from Earl Ailith's house?" I asked my mother in a hurried voice.

"Hm...it's pretty close I think, maybe about 5 minutes walk?" Answered my mother.

That's it!

After I heard my mother's answer, I jump out from my bed and run straight to the study room.

"Stephan! What are you doing?! You need to rest! Your ankle still haven't fully recovered yet!" Shouted my mother worriedly.

"Sorry mother, I need to do something important!" I said that without slowing my pace.

The pain in my ankle is nothing compared to Giselle's life.

After I arrived at the study room, I lock the door to prevent any disturbance and start to write a letter to Leonardo Orphanage.

I send that letter with a pigeon and pray.

"Please save Giselle's life....."

Selene Maeve pov.

Today, after the discussion with Eline, Giselle, and Stephan ended, I go back to Leonardo Orphanage with a carriage.

Ah...did I forget to tell you that I'm an orphan?

It took two hours to go back to the orphanage from Stephan's house.

I'm dead tired.....

Moreover, about 40 minutes after I arrived at the orphanage, suddenly I was summoned by the orphanage's head, Lady Georgia.

"Lady Georgia? Did you call for me?" I asked her.

"Yes, Selene, there is a letter for you from Duke Clarkson's son," answered her.

I received the letter and thanked her for delivering it to me, "Thank you Lady Georgia."

"You're welcome, Selene, you can go back to your room now," said her.

"Okay then, good night Lady Georgia," I run back to my room after giving her a smile.

"Good night, Selene," replied her with the same smile.

After I went back to my room, I quickly open Stephan's letter and read it.

My eyes widened as I read that letter.

Ignoring the orphanage curfew, I grab my bag and run towards Earl Ailith's house as fast as I can.

At Earl Ailith's house, I am stopped by their guards.

"I'm Giselle's friend! Please let me through!!" I desperately asked them to let me in.

"We're sorry young lady, but our master is not receiving any guest right now," said one of the guard.

There's really no choice then. I put on a mask, take out a bottle of halothane from my bag and spray it to the guards face. Of course, they immediately lose their consciousness. I do that to every person that try to stop me, including Earl Ailith and his wife.

It seems that the arrow that pierce Giselle's shoulder is poisoned. I try to identified the poison and make the antidote as fast as I can. I give her some painkiller, pull out the arrow, suck out all the poison, clean her wound, stop the bleeding, scrape the dead tissue around the wound, apply the antidote to her wound, and bandage it. I also give her blood transfusion and inject the antidote to her body.

It takes about 30 minutes for Giselle to regain her consciousness.

"Selene...?" Giselle looked surprised to see me.

"Giselle? Are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?" I asked Giselle worriedly.

Giselle weakly shake her head.

Thank goodness.....

.....But, now.....what should we do with all this mess in Earl Ailith's house?

Giselle Ailith pov.

After I regained my consciousness, the first person that I saw was Selene.

"Selene...?" I tried to call her name.

"Giselle? Are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?" Asked Selene with her rare worried face.

I weakly shook my head to answer her question. She must be the one who treated all my injuries.

Well, eventhough Selene always seems like a careless airhead, she is actually a dependable peerless genius. She is proficient in everything that doesn't require physical strength.

"Thanks for saving me," I sincerely thanked Selene.

"Don't mention it," said Selene with her smile.

But....how did Selene know about my condition?

If I remember correctly, my father asked the guards to bring some doctors for me. There's no way that they will bring an eight years old kid like Selene to me.

When I want to ask Selene about it, I suddenly realize a bigger problem in my house.

"Selene, what happened to everyone?!" I was terrified by the fact that every single person in my house are unconscious.

"Ahh....I used halothane on them because they tried to stop me from treating you," answered Selene with an awkward smile.

"Haah..... When will they wake up?" I asked her with a helpless expression.

I thought that they were attacked by assassins or something like that.

"It won't be long I think," answered Selene.

I nod my head as my response to Selene's answer.

"Then, since you are okay already, I will go back to the orphanage now. Take care, okay?" Said Selene with her smile.

"Okay, okay. Don't worry about me," Eventhough my body is only eight years old, my mind is already an adult, okay? I can take a good care of myself.

Right after Selene went back to the orphanage, my father and my mother start to regain their consciousness.

"Giselle! Are you okay?!!" The first thing that my father and my mother thought when they opened their eyes were my condition.

"Don't worry Father, Mother, I am okay," I give a sincere smile to them.

"Your wound, how is it? Does it still hurts?" Ask my father again.

"It's been treated already, Father, don't worry," my father is really such a worrywart.

"That's a relief then....I'm very worried when I heard that Doctor Greyham will need at least two hours to get here," said my father and my mother with a relieved smile on their face.

"But....how can all of us suddenly lose our consciousness? I'm sure that no one knocked me out...." Asked my father with his confused look.

"If I remember correctly, someone sprayed something on my face, then I immediately lose my consciousness," answered my mother.

"How can that be? Is this some kind of new weapon?!" Said father furiously.

"......." Weapon? I'm speechless....

Doesn't this world know anesthetics?

In the middle of my parents conversation, suddenly my room's door was slammed by a middle age man who wear a doctor attire. He was panting and covered in sweat. It looks like he ran all the way here with all his might.

"Earl Ailith? Didn't you say that your daughter is severely injured by an assassin?" That man looked shocked and confused to see me.

"Huh? Doctor Greyham? What....? Why....?" My father looked just as confused as that man. So do my mother.

Haahh......it looks like they are confused because they thought that Doctor Greyham is the one who treated my wound.

"Father, Mother, the one who treated my wound is not Doctor Greyham," explained me.

"Eeh?! It's not Doctor Greyham?! Then, who....?" My father seemed to be extremely shocked to hear my statement.

"It was a friend of mine," I answered him.

"Friend? You have a friend who is a doctor?" Asked Father again.

I nod my head to answer his question.

"Ah, Doctor Greyham, since you are here already, can you take a look at our daughter's condition?" Asked Mother to Doctor Greyham.

"Ah! Of course!" Doctor Greyham quickly approaches me and checks my condition.

"She is okay. It's amazing.... Even the wound is almost dry already," said Doctor Greyham with a surprised look.

"Thank you so much doctor, we are sorry for troubling you all the way here," said my mother with guilt.

"No, no, I didn't even do anything, please don't mention it, it's really okay," said Doctor Greyham with an awkward smile.

When talking to my mother, Doctor Greyham seems to notice the bloody arrow on the desk beside my bed.

"T-that is....!" The doctor is in shocked to see the arrow.

He grabs that arrow and observes it's every detail.

"This arrow is poisoned by the famous deadly poison which didn't have any antidote! How can someone survive after being stabbed by this?! There's not even a trace of poison left in her body!" Said Doctor Greyham while trembling with excitement.

"Young miss! Please tell me the identity of the doctor who treated your injuries! This is going to be a big discovery in the medical world!" Continued Doctor Greyham excitedly.

My father and my mother look just as curious as Doctor Greyham.

"Sorry, I've promised her not to tell anyone about her identity. She is my savior afterall, I can't betray her. I'm sorry once again," I politely apologized to Doctor Greyham.

Doctor Greyham seems dejected to hear my answer.

"I understand....." said Doctor Greyham with a sad face.

"Then, since young miss is fine already, I'll excuse myself, Earl Ailith, Countess Ailith, young miss," Doctor Greyham bid his farewell to us.

After Doctor Greyham left, my parents also went back to their room. They want me to have a good rest so that I can recuperate faster.

Narrator pov.

When Doctor Greyham arrived at his house, a bunch of Royal Knights were waiting for him.

"Doctor Greyham, please come with us! It's an emergency!" Said one of the Royal Knight in panic.

"What happened?" Asked Doctor Greyham worriedly.

He had a bad feeling about this.

"His Highness Prince Gerald had fallen into a critical condition!" Answered the Royal Guard.

Hearing his answer, Doctor Greyham quickly followed the royal guards and rushed to the royal palace.

After checking Prince Gerald condition, Doctor Greyham expression turned sad and helpless.

"How is his condition, Doctor Greyham?" Asked the king with a worried look.

Doctor Greyham shook his head.

"I'm sorry your majesty, I don't think I can do anything to save the prince," said Doctor Greyham.

"No! No! Please don't say that Doctor Greyham! You must save my son! Please.... I beg you.....I will do anything! Please...." The queen begged Doctor Greyham to save her son with tears that had overflowed from her eyes.

"Please forgive me, your majesty. It's not like I don't want to save the prince. But, I really can't do it," said Doctor Greyham helplessly.

"No! It's impossible! You must be able to do something....." Said the queen desperately. She cried even harder than before.

The king hugged the queen and tried to console her. But, the queen still can't stop her tears from falling.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Doctor Greyham can only blame himself for not being good enough to save the prince's life.

In their despair, something suddenly came to Doctor Greyham's mind.

"Ah! There might be someone who can help Prince Gerald!" Said Doctor Greyham with a streak of hope.

Hearing his words, the queen immediately took Doctor Greyham's hand.

"Who is it?! Please tell me!" Said the queen impatiently. The king also stared at doctor Greyham with hope in his eyes.

"This evening, Earl Ailith's daughter was attacked by an assassin. Her shoulder got stabbed with a poisoned arrow which is known to be extremely deadly and has no cure. But, she miraculously survived from that poison. She said that she was treated by her friend who is a doctor. The problem is, she had promised that doctor that she will hide her identity," explained doctor Greyham.

"Let's go to Earl Ailith's house now! We can't waste our time any more! I will ask Earl Ailith's daughter in person!" Said the queen.

The king agreed with her. With that, the king, the queen, Doctor Greyham, and some of the royal guards went to Earl Ailith's house.

"Y-y-your majesty! What brings you here?!" Earl Ailith's was really startled by the king and queen's arrival at his house. He nervously led them in.

"Earl Ailith, we need to ask something to your daughter," said the king.

"My daughter? Ah.....please pardon me your majesty, but my daughter was attacked by an assassin this evening. It will be best for her to stay in her bed and rest for some periods of time. So, I'm affraid she can't meet you right now," said Earl Ailith with an apologetic face.

"Please let us meet her! It's okay even if it's just for a while! She doesn't need to come down to greet us, we will go to her room! This is really important, Earl Ailith! Please! We promise that we won't disturb her rest!" Said the queen desperately.

"O-okay then.... I will guide your majesty to my daughter's room," answered Earl Ailith with a surprised and confused expression.

Giselle Ailith pov.

After a few hours of sleep, someone knocked my door.

"Giselle, this is father, we are coming in, okay?" Said my father from the outside.

"Okay, father," answered me.

What does my father want at this time? It's almost midnight already.

When my father opened the door, I realize that there are five other persons behind him.

"Giselle, the king and the queen is here to see you," said my father.

I was startled to hear my father's words. The king and the queen??!! What do they want from me?!! I tried to come down from my bed and greet them formally, but the king and queen stopped me.

"Please don't get up from your bed. We've heard about your condition from your father and doctor Greyham," said the queen with a smile.

The queen smile is sincere, but I can see some sadness in her eyes. I wonder what had happened to her.

"Then, please excuse my impoliteness your majesty," I politely apologized to them.

"How is your condition? Are you okay?" Asked the queen to me.

"Yes, I am okay already, your majesty. Thank you for your concerns," I answered her with a polite smile.

"That's a relief," said the queen again.

"Giselle, the truth is, my son, Gerald, is in a critical condition now. His illness is very serious that even doctor Greyham can't help him anymore. We heard that you have a friend who is a very good doctor. Could you please ask her to help us?" Asked the queen to me.

What?! Gerald?! He is one of the capture target!! What should I do now?!! To be honest, I really want to help this queen. She is truly a kind and gentle person. But.....

"I'm sorry your majesty, but I've already promised her to hide her identity....." I answered her with a sad face.

"I know, I know that. But, please Giselle. My son's life is on your hand....I can't bear to live without him.... I will do anything if you agreed to help us! I will grant any of your wish!" Said the queen while crying.

"Y-your majesty, please don't cry! I-I will try to ask her to help the Prince!" Ugh... I was defeated by her tears.....

I grab a paper and a pen from the drawer beside me and start to write a letter to Selene. After my letter is finished I give it to the queen and say, "If your majesty bring this letter to Leonardo Orphanage and give it to a girl named Selene Maeve, she will deliver it to the doctor that you want to meet."

"Thank you, thank you so much Giselle. I will surely repay your kindness today," said the queen while holding my hand.

"Thank you Giselle, Earl Ailith. We will go to Leonardo Orphanage now," said the king to us.

"It's our pleasure, your majesty," answered my father.

Narrator pov.

After the king and the queen left Earl Ailith's house, they headed straight to Leonardo Orphanage.

Just like Earl Ailith, Georgia was really shocked by the queen and king arrival.

"Your majesty, I am this orphanage's head, Georgia. What can I help you with, your majesty?" Asked Georgia while kneeling in front of them.

"Please stand up, Lady Georgia," said the queen while helping her to get up.

"We are looking for a girl named Selene Maeve. Is she here?" Asked the queen.

"Selene? Yes, she is here, please come in with me, your majesty," said Georgia as she led them in.

Georgia was worried as to why the king and the queen is looking for Selene. But, she just kept her mouth shut.

After they went in, Georgia call for Selene.

"Did you call for me Lady Georgia?" Asked Selene with her sleepy face.

"Selene, the king and the queen is here, they are looking for you," said Georgia with her gentle smile.

"Good evening your majesty, are you looking for me?" Asked Selene while slightly bowing her head. Selene's demeanor is definitely more carefree and childish than Giselle.

"Hi Selene. I come here to give you a letter," said the queen with her gentle smile. She hand over the piece of paper in her hand to Selene.

Selene confusedly accept the letter and start to read it.

"Selene, Prince Gerald is in a critical condition now. His life is in danger. I know that we had agreed to not get involved with any of the capture targets, but it really doesn't feel right for me to just let a person die like this. Moreover, the queen come to beg me while crying. So, please save him if its possible."

"Your majesty, Lady Georgia, I will immediately send the person that you want to meet to the palace. Please rest assured," said Selene before running out from the orphanage.

The king and queen were very relieved to hear Selene's words. They bid their farewell to Georgia and go back to the palace.

On the other side, Selene is going into a big and beautiful mansion near the palace. After a few moment, she come out with a bag, hat, mask, new set of clothes, and a pair of high heels.

After putting all the disguise, Selene went to the palace.

The moment she arrived at the palace, the guards immediately bring her to the prince's room.

"Doctor! We have been waiting for you! Please save my son!" Said the queen the moment she saw Selene.

Selene only nod her head and make her way towards the prince.

Selene Maeve pov.

After hearing his symptoms and checking his condition, I realized that the prince had a brain tumor. If I want to save him, I will need to do a surgery to remove that tumor.

Before I start the surgery, I signaled the queen and the king to go out so they won't cause any disturbance to me.

I make an opening in Prince Gerald's skull and remove the entire tumor from his brain. Luckily, the tumor is still in the second stage, so it can be completely removed without damaging his vital brain tissue.

The prince opens his eyes an hour after I finished treating him.

"Any discomfort?" I asked the prince.

"No....." answered the prince while weakly shaking his head.

After I heard his answer, I let the king and the queen to come in and see the prince condition. They were so happy that tears start to roll down from their face.

"Gerald! Are you okay? Does your head still hurt?" Asked the queen worriedly.

Gerald shake his head.

"Do you still feel nauseous? Or numb? Or do your eyesight still blurry? Do you still feel any difficulties in speaking?" Asked the worried queen again.

"No...." said Gerald while shaking his head again.

"Then can you hear me clearly now? You don't feel limp anymore? You can think clearly?" Confirmed the queen.

"Yes, Mother, I am okay now...." said Gerald with a weak smile.

The queen burst into tears to hear his son's words.

"Doctor, thank you so much for saving my son's life. Please tell me anything that you want. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will grant all of it," said the queen.

I shook my head to reject her offer.

I don't really need anything from the royal family right now....

"No, no, please accept our gratitude, just tell us anything that you want," said the king.

Once again, I shook my head to reject his offer.

It will be a pain for me if they keep on offering rewards to me. Moreover, I can't speak to them since they might recognize my voice as Selene. So, before the queen and the king could offer any other things for me, I quickly bow my head to them and run away from the palace.

Narrator pov.

The king and the queen were really overjoyed by Prince Gerald recovery. The queen even personally come to Earl Ailith's mansion again to thank Giselle for her help.

"Giselle, thank you so much for helping my son," said the queen to Giselle.

"Please don't mention it your majesty. I only did what I should have," said Giselle.

"No, no, I will still have to rewards you," said the queen with a sincere smile.

"I'm one of this country's citizen. So it's my pleasure to contributed to the country by helping the prince, your majesty. That's why I really don't need any rewards," said Giselle.

Hearing Giselle's wise words, an idea occurred on the queen's mind.

"Giselle, how old are you this year?" Asked the queen.

"Eight years old, your majesty," Answered Giselle.

"Really?? I thought that you were a lot older than that since you speak and act like an adult," said the queen again.

Giselle face turned pale to hear the queen's word. Did her real identity got exposed?

"Eight years old is perfect! I've already decided your rewards now!" said the queen with a smile.

Giselle Ailith pov.

What does the queen mean? Eight years old is perfect? Perfect for what?

I'm happy that my identity hadn't been discovered yet, but I have a bad feeling about this.

"I will engage you to my son!" Declared the queen.

My heart almost stopped beating from hearing her declaration. She will engage me to that playboy prince?!

"Y-y-your majesty, I really don't need any rewards! You don't need to do this!" I tried to change her mind about this engagement.

"Do you hate my son? Or is he not good enough for you?" Asked the queen with a sad face.

"N-no, that's not what I mean...." Before I could finished my sentence, the queen cut my words.

"Then it's settled! You will be my son's fiance! We will hold the ceremony next month after you and my son had fully recovered!" Said the queen uncontested.

Ugh....this is why I don't want to get involved with that prince in the first place. I'm digging my own grave now!

After deciding the engagement on her own, the queen finally went back to her palace.

Right after the queen left, Evangeline come running to my room.

"Giselle! Are you okay?!!" Asked her in panic.

"Calm down Eline, I'm okay," I calmed her down with a smile.

"I rush here as soon as I heard that you were attacked by an assassin. They say that your wound was very severe," said Eline worriedly.

"Don't worry, Selene had treated it perfectly," I said.

"That's a relief....." said Eline with a sigh.

"The problem now is not that wound, Eline," I sigh as I prepare my self to hear Eline's scream.

"I'm getting engaged to Prince Gerald next month," finished me.

"WHATT?!!" Eline screamed in schocked.

"How can it happened?!" Asked Eline.

I tell her the story about how I ended up with this trouble.

"The four of us need to have a meeting as soon as possible," said Eline.

I nod my head in agreement with her.

"But....we are an eight years old kid now. We need permission from our parents to go out. With my condition now, I don't think we can gather together. Moreover, I heard that Stephan also sprained his ankle," I said to Eline.

"Hah? Stephan sprained his ankle?" Eline was surprised to hear about this.

"I heard that a maid accidentally pushed him to the stairs, luckily he only sprained his ankle," explained me.

"Ohh....then, five days from now. Let's gather together in five days," said Eline.

"Okay, let's meet up at the fountain at 8 a.m. Please tell Stephan and Selene about this," I said to Eline.

"Okay then, I will go now, get well soon, okay?" Said Eline before going back to her house.

Evangeline Ethare pov.

It's a relief that Giselle is okay. I almost got a heart attacked when I heard that she was attacked by an assassin.

But, I still can't believe that Giselle is going to get enganged with one of the capture target. Moreover, with that Gerald?! How can this kind of thing happen?! Even at our previous world, Giselle has always been a perfect-mannered girl who is both gentle and calm. She is good at taking care of people and has a very calming aura. How could her life partner be a hedonistic and playboy brat like that Gerald?! He is not even worth it to be in Giselle's sight!

Ugh...this is really frustrating!!

I know that the 'capture targets' in the game is usually a perfect guy that can melt any girls hearts, but this game....

This game is a exception. The capture target in this game may seem perfect on the first glance, but the more you get involved with them, the more you will find out about their 'dark and ugly' side.

Well, they will become a better person as the times go by, but.....

Because I was walking to my home with my wandering mind, I accidentally bumped into a big and scary man.

The coffee in his hand fall into the ground.

"Hey!! Use your eyes when you are walking!!" Said that man to me.

"I-I'm really sorry!!" I quickly apologized to him. This is my fault since I'm walking with my mind elsewhere.

"What?! Sorry?! Do you think that everything will be okay with a sorry?! You must compensate me for my coffee!" Said him.

"That's fine, how much should I pay?" I asked him.

"Two golds," answered that man.

"Haah?! Are you crazy?! How could a coffee be that expensive?! You are definitely a swindler!" This guy is too much of a swindler! He thinks that he can get anything with his scary look? It won't work with me!

"Who are you calling crazy and swindler?! Do you want to die?! Choose now, pay two golds or die here!!" Said that man angrily.

Woah....this is dangerous. It will be bad if this man really did something to me. But, this is a broad daylight. And I think that my voice was pretty loud before. So, why does no one come to help me? This is not a desolated place and there are even some people who pass by me. But, they act like they didn't see me. Why are they ignoring us?

As if he can read my mind, the big and scary man mockingly laugh at me.

"Hahaha, no one will help you, little girl! Haven't you heard about me? I am Kristoff! The infamous killer! Defying me means instant death!!" Said him proudly.

"Kristoff...?" I asked him with a stupefied look.

"Yes! I am Kristoff! What? Are you scared of me now?" Asked him with a triumphant smirk.

Who the hell is Kristoff? I've never even heard about him in the game. He must be one of the unimportant characters, right?

"Who the hell is Kristoff? Is he some kind of ugly swindler or something?" The man face turned red with anger after hearing my words.

Oh no...I think that I went too far with my words.....
