Amerllyis
'What? Engagement of the prince?'
'Is she even suitable to be a princess?'
"She is suitable. She is after all a duke's daughter'
'Awwe, I wanted her to be my daughter in law'
And so on.
People, don't you even have respect for your king, the royal family or have they been too kind? You don't have to do your talk here, y'all are whispering but it's too loud enough, you know.
"It has been a tradition in the royal family that as the consort candidate debuts, the Engagement ceremony would be held" The king continued with no care about the people whispering about their daughter in law. Hello.
"And as the consort candidate has debuted officially today, the ceremony will commence"
Priests, magicians, fairies, angels, goddesses came and blessed me with their powers or so I thought would happen since this is a fantasy game after all.
But instead it was normal, too normal, like what? The king said his blessings, don't know what, he was speaking alien language and well, the queen smiled and said 'Long live'?
I literally dozed off 'cause all these was taking too long, after the blessings or whatever, there was these group of people who came and started singing, more like crying.
Then, the people of the kingdom started giving gifts, whaaat? When and Where did they even bring that from?
Amidst all these, I noticed a familiar beautiful crimson eyes that shone even in this light, staring deep into mine.
"Zero nii?" I whispered and as if on cue like he had heard me call him, he smiled softly, just for a few seconds though.
'Enjoying your time here, angel?'
'Bet you are, but do remember this is no fun if you don't do anything... '
'Anything interesting for me, angel'
'Who are you? Are you using telepathy?' Assuming he was, I did not speak out. That would make me look crazy and I do not wanna go to mental asylum.
He chuckled.
'Whatever you want, angel'
'That is not the answer I want'
'Who do you think I am?'
'A creep who is so ugly that he's embarrassed to show himself of this beautiful angel'
'You are an ANGEL of course'
He chuckled again? What? Whoever he was, I promised myself to hit him hard on his head if I ever met him.
'If you wanna know who I am, I'll visit your room at midnight'
He stated as if he had heard, wait, he did, right?
'I can hear you, angel'
After that he was heard no more. Mister, do you think you can do this whenever and however you want?!
'Yep, it is mine after all'
He chuckled once again, and that thing was getting creepier and annoying every minute. Luckily for him and me, he didn't say anything.
"Hey princess, you bitter about something?" Zel(?) asked while smiling at other girls and greeting them.
"Yeah, looking at you is like eating a bitter orange" I replied with no haste.
"Well then, thank you, princess" He smiled princely with gentleman written all over his face.
"Why would you thank me? Go thank the oranges"
"I will after all it got you relaxed and you're being the real you"
"Is that a pick up line from a movie? I bet it is, you wouldn't say something like that. They belong to the 'heroine' and I'm not even into you. You're just a kid"
He looked confused for a moment but then regained his composure.
"And you princess, if I am a little kid as you say, you're just a baby" He smiled sweetly as he said this.
"Hello mister, I may be 7 outside but I'm an ol' lady inside. So listen to an elder and go enjoy with the kids"
"If you are an old lady, then I shall go bury myself" He stated sarcastically.
"Off you go, bye bye. Don't bother me anymore" I waved with crocodile tears "Ol' lady won't miss ya"
"Pfft!"
"What? Go, shoo shoo" I tried shooing him away.
"Haha!" He started laughing, it was a beautiful sight to others of course but not to me. Who would laugh when you're literally getting insulted by a beautiful angel?
"You know, you're a first. First person and lady who tried to shoo away a prince" He finally calmed down and smiled genuinely.
"May I as you for a dance, princess?" Before I could say anything, he held out his hands and I couldn't even say no.
How could I? It would be a crime to insult the crown prince?
(A/N: Says the person who just treated him like an animal)
.....
What if he holds grudges? And also tortures me in future when he becomes the king? I am not taking that risk. Life is too precious, duh.
And so we danced gracefully like how a prince and a 'fiancee' should. It was beautiful, I know.
The day went on, so so but the surprise was when Zero nii asked me to a dance.
"You look.. cute" Whoa, the man of few words said it. Wohoo! I can die in piece, I mean peace.
Y'all are jelly, I know! I mean it's really difficult for this ice man to compliment, no, to say anything to anyone, you know. He'd just ignore everyone who talks to him except me and mom and dad. We are an exception.
"Thank you, Zero nii! You yourself looks very dashing. Much more handsome than the prince, the annoying orange"
The day was.. so and so

"It's time, I guess. Here I come, angel.. Again" The handsome male smiled to himself. With his jet black hair, ruby eyes and tall figure, he was different enough this be called inhuman.
He did not look real.
He had been watching Amerllyis for a long time and decided that it was time for him to appear. To show himself.
With a single thought of where to go, he teleported himself to her room, making himself comfortable like it was his. Like the world belonged to him.

Returning home, I went and grabbed some food as I was hungry, those guests at the palace was very annoying, passing weird and disgusting comments every time I ate something.
I had to control myself to raise my hands on them. How nice would it be if I was reincarnated as an assassin? I would torture them first before killin'.
Slice their skin off and powder it with chillies and salt. Then cut their fingers one by one while their beautiful cries echoed in my ears and then-
So anyway, I went to my room, took a bath and changed Into my nightgown.
"Am I forgetting something?" I knew I had forgotten something really important but what? No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember.
It was as if my memory had been wiped off completely.
"Yes you have, angel. We had promised time meet tonight which is now" A voice behind me stated. I quickly turned around to see..
"Haru..?" What the actual f**k? Why is he here? Was he the one talking to me the whole time?!
"I am not the person you are talking about" He replied back without any haste. Like hell, I wouldn't believe him even if he said that.
"Seriously?" I gave him a death glare but he only chuckled which the 'usual' Haru wouldn't do.
"I am not him, angel." He smiled and said in a soothing voice.
"Bu-But that's not possible! How can there be two?!" I whispered yelled at him.
"Well whatever you like." He only smiled "Anyways, lets get straight to the point. I can't stay here for long so I'll get explain few things"
"Wait, what do you mean? You don't have much time?"
"I'll explain when I have time. I've stayed her too long" He said in haste.
"As you know, you've reincarnated into an otome game as a villainess, you will be changing the views of this world. You should not avoid the protagonists but have to befriend them and make everything interesting in your own way"
"What do I get in this?" I asked folding my hands. I am a person who needs benefit for something, you know.
"Well, that's.. " He dazed off for a second "You'll go to heaven, haha"
"Seriously? "
"Nope, it's not for me to decide. It's for You when the time comes"
"What?"
"Anyway, time out. Gtg, bye" He waved playfully, like Haru and he says he's not Haru.
"Good luck, angel" He smiled "And if we meet again, call me K"
He disappeared into thin air after that, like he wasn't even here.
What the hell? Was he watching me the whole time? Even when I was changing?!

7 years later
"Llyse, I'm gonna miss you so much!" Mom cried as she hugged me tightly.
"Careful while you're there. Don't let anyone get close to you" Dad warned, don't know why but he had gotten so protective these past seven years.
"Lyllia, take good care of her!" Mom reminded Lyllia who had been under my care, well, me under her care technically but it's more like she under my care, I had to tell her not to just kill anyone she sees every time the first few days after she was hired. She was an assassin.
Don't know why she chose to live the life of a nun, I mean maid.
Lyllia is my personal maid though she is like sister to me. It has been 6 years since she came, she almost killed an innocent little kid when tried to approach me 'cause of my beauty.
Luckily, I stopped her in time or I don't know, what would have happened.
"Bye honey, tell your brother to come home more then often" Mom waved with her wet handkerchief.
And so we set off to the academy which I had been enrolled to and where all the scenes would take place.
Academy of love, I call it but it's Ri'vale academy named after the crown prince's middle name. Duh.
The carriage ride was like for 3 whole hours or more and by now, I couldn't stand or so until Lyl carried me like a princess, while others stared at me with awe, not that I care anyway.
I turned 14 legally but my mental age is 24. And the game apparently starts next year. Yay! I can just laze around until the game takes place.
I asked Lyl to let me down since I was too tired of just being princess carried and doing nothing. And she did. Cool.
I was about to walk in when I bumped into a human being and fell, that human being was gentle enough to apologize and help me stand up.
"I apologize once again" The human being said in his gentle, soothing and apologetic voice.
"Don't worry about it" Rubbing off dirts and looking up, I saw a handsome face. Not new to it any more, been surrounded by handsome guys for like 4 years.
I bet this guy is also a capture target. Perfect dark blue eyes like Zel, from a royal blood and black hair like Zero nii.
"I'm Ezekiel, tell me if you find any problem later" Guessed right.
The second prince of the royal family, Ezekiel Reinhart De' Alger Obelia. It's exhausting to say his full name. I don't know any more than that, best friend never talked about him, wasn't her fav.
Well, anyway, I with Lyl entered the academy.
'𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭' His voice echoed in my ears after seven years.
Not gonna listen to you. Duh.
'𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵, 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘦'
