But who would have thought, upon opening her eyes, Ivory was immediately presented with an extraordinary sight. A very handsome man was now right in front of her face. Was he the doctor who treated her? People say that young doctors who work in hospitals are very handsome.
But wait! Why are the hospital walls painted in black and gold, aren't hospitals always painted white or other bright colors? And why are people wearing such strange clothes? Like the nobles and servants she had seen in manhwa or films with European kingdom themes?
"Wait! Where am I actually now? Shouldn't Elena take me to the hospital where Dad and Mom are being treated? Why did Elena take me to such a strange place?"
Truly in her heart, Ivory wondered what had actually happened after she closed her eyes after falling from the stairs.
"Your Majesty, may I examine Her Majesty the Queen to ensure her condition? Because there is a possibility that the impact experienced by Her Majesty the Queen when she fell resulted in internal damage to her head," said a middle-aged man asking for permission before taking action.
"Do it!"
Ordered the handsome man who took a few steps back to give space for the middle-aged man to conduct a re-examination. Ivory was still silent, allowing the man to do the examination, even though Ivory's silence was still questioning what had happened to her.
"Thankfully, there are no serious problems with the injuries experienced by Her Majesty the Queen and—"
"Wait! Who are you calling Her Majesty the Queen?" Ivory interrupted as soon as she realized that everyone kept calling her Queen, even before she fully opened her eyes.
Hearing that question from Ivory's own mouth, everyone in the room was quite surprised and also puzzled. Likewise with the handsome man who was now looking at her with a look that was very difficult to interpret.
"All of you get out of here!" the man ordered in a cold tone.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Everyone responded, then bowed in respect before actually leaving the room, leaving Ivory alone with the cold, handsome man. Truly, Ivory really hoped that she was not transmigrated or reincarnated like most of the storylines she read from her collection of novels.
"This can't be like what I'm thinking now, right? I couldn't possibly be experiencing what I read in the fantasy Romance novel, right?" Ivory tried to think positively, even though her hunch said otherwise.
"Ivory Esmeralda, are you trying to test my patience now? Haven't you agreed to all the agreements from the start?" said the handsome man, which made the woman confused.
"What does Ivory Esmeralda mean? My name is clearly Ivory Asteria, then why... Damn, don't tell me my guess really came true. I entered another world?" Ivory could only curse in her heart.
"What do you mean—"
"Remember, this marriage will only last for 6 months. Don't expect me to treat you as a wife because you know yourself that I already have a lover that I love very much."
The same sentence, the same facial expression and tone of voice as described by the author of the novel entitled 'The Tragic Death of the Vampire King's Empress' that Ivory partially read before she fell from the stairs after hearing the news about her parents' accident.
"Am I really entering the world of the novel? If I really entered the world of the novel entitled 'The Tragic Death of the Vampire King's Empress', am I really becoming Ivory Esmeralda and this cold handsome man is the Vampire King... who is gay?"
"Are you Ragnar Rowan Agharon, the king—"
"How dare you mention my name without a title of honor!"
The man's shout immediately startled Ivory, but it seemed that it was indeed true that the man in front of her was the husband of Ivory Esmeralda, the vampire king who had a male lover and only used his marriage to cover up his secret.
"Damn! It seems I really did enter that unclear novel. What will happen to me now? Even in the story, Ivory Esmeralda ends with a tragic death. If I remember correctly, she died with many stab wounds from the weapon of a vampire hunter." Ivory Asteria who now occupies the body of Ivory Esmeralda was truly shaken by the reality.
"Listen! I am indeed gay, so don't expect anything from this marriage because from the start your existence was only to protect the existence of my lover!"
King Ragnar immediately emphasized everything, after that he turned around and left the bridal chamber just like that. The exact same thing as written in the novel. Now Ivory could only be silent, trying to digest everything, even though various questions now arose in her head without heeding the departure of the man who was her husband.
Did she really become Ivory Esmeralda? Then what about her body, Ivory Asteria's body? Was she already dead or just in a coma? And how were her parents who had an accident? What will happen to Kak Elena if she also goes into a coma like her parents or even the worst possibility, she is already dead? Will her sister feel guilty or even happy because her burden has disappeared?
Those were the various questions that initially arose in Ivory's head, until she remembered that Ivory Esmeralda's fate could not be said to be good either. Where since becoming empress, she has always been ignored by her own husband and the other servants. Not only that, one month after becoming Queen, she will also be killed by someone whose identity is unknown.
"What should I do now?"
"In an instant, Ivory Asteria, who was unemployed and a burden to the family, is now Ivory Esmeralda, an empress of the Vampire King who was found dead tragically in her room."
"I don't even know how Dad and Mom are? Now I myself am faced with a second death as Ivory Esmeralda, the Queen who is never considered by her own husband and everyone."
"I want to go back... I want to make sure how Mom and Dad are, but how can I go back? Should I...."
Brak....
Ivory's words stopped when her room door reopened, showing the arrival of a middle-aged man and woman who opened her room door without permission along with a woman who looked about her age. Ivory, who did not know the three at all, could only look at them in surprise, who looked angry at her.
Slap....
"You idiot! What are you trying to do, Huh? You intend to commit suicide to end your marriage with His Majesty King Ragnar, are you crazy?" Already slapping, cursing vaguely also made Ivory become angry.
To be continued....
