Chapter 2 - Addie's Plan
Rell was my best friend all throughout high school.
She was there when I needed her, and despite being drop-dead gorgeous and popular, she always hung out with me, a completely average person.
My parents were pretty well off, but she never expected anything from me.
She always sent me the funniest messages, and we met at cafés where she told me about the latest online story that she had been reading.
It was always the same author. "Misty Plume" was the author's name, and she never shut up about her works.
Eventually, she got motivated and decided to write her own story, which was entitled "The Princess Tames The Puppy Duke".
She was obsessed with the saviour trope, and decided to write the love story about a man named Theon Cryteare and Rebecca Ashton.
Theon Cryteare, who happened to be my favourite character, grew up in a cold household.
His mother, who never received any attention from his father, Duke Kyre Cryteare, was cruel and mean to him.
His father was a distant man who didn't believe in love or familial affection.
He raised his son coldly, having no regard to his mental health.
Slowly, he went mad and became a war-obsessed dog like his father was to the throne.
Then, in comes the female lead, Rebecca Ashton.
An exiled princess from a distant land, she saves the male lead on the battlefield and brings him back to her cabin.
From there, Theon finally experiences what it means to receive something without expecting to return anything himself.
I cried when I read how well-structured his character was.
I told Rell how amazing it was, and she simply smiled at me, telling me that she was happy.
I don't know why, but there was sadness in her eyes when I praised her novel, especially Theon.
However, there is one small, tiny-teeny issue.
'Esteban' is the maiden name of Theon's mother...
... and the first name of his mother is Adelaide.
I did NOT just become a villain in the novel!
This doesn't seem like such a bad exchange.
As Adelaide, I get to watch my Theon grow up to become the amazing man he is destined to be.
Ahhhh, I can't help but fangirl here.
However, there is another issue.
From what I've gathered from the maids, Theon doesn't exist yet.
That means that I'll have to... 'do the dirty' with Kyre.
And not just once. From the novel, Adelaide seemingly had trouble getting pregnant.
So that means that in order for my baby boy to exist, I'll have to do it with Kyre...
My cheeks flushed and I shook my head from side to side while the maids got me ready, mocking me whenever they had the chance.
Adelaide Esteban
*thinking* So embarrassing...
Rell had made Kyre handsome on the outside, so that wasn't really an issue.
It was his personality that was a problem.
After all, he was a war-crazed General who was obsessed with the idea of victory no matter the cost.
He had developed a permafrost-type of coldness that no one could ever pierce.
However, what I've known from a young age is that all ice can melt with a strong enough heat.
I was raised from my chair and pushed out into the corridor.
Maid A
Remain silent, and hopefully he won't eat you.
Maid B
I don't think he'd get much off of her. She's all skin and bones.
I wanted to slap them so badly. I always see the female lead's in the novels slap their servants, but I don't have the guts to do it.
Soon, the door opened and I mentally prepared myself.
If I'm going to melt that permafrost-like heart of his, all I'll have to do is "bring the heat".
I'm going to seduce him, and slowly but surely, the "heat" will follow.
And with that, I'll make him slowly fall in love with this body, and soon, his heart will begin to melt.
I'm keeping myself safe from ruin while also bringing my Theon into this world!
Bring it on, Kyre Cryteare. Let's see what I have to work with.
