'Life is a fairytale' was one of Leilan's favorite novels.
It took place in a European medieval setting, during the times of Emperor's, Duke's, Count's etc
A fantasy novel full of magic and romance. A true fairytale which was number one bestseller for ten years.
The main plot involved defeating the demon king labeled as the 'Lord of Nightmares' as he would eventually terrorize the world until he would be defeated with the 'fairy's tear'.
The story revolved around the protagonist who was the sister of the villain; Mareeonel.
Mareeonel was once a bright and cheery girl, but after finding out her brother was associating with the 'Lord of Nightmares' and having to kill him with her own hands, her innocence would die.
Mareeonel would encounter a lot of friends throughout her journey, even more enemies and some people who would leave her life after they've done what they need to do.
Among the people who would come and go, was a very mysterious character who readers wanted to know more about.
Erionella Josephine Renowarin, the eldest child of Count and Countess Renowarin.
Someone who would fight Mareeonel in their first encounter using forbidden magic which gave speculation that she was a witch, but would eventually heal Mareeonel after their fight with holy powers.
Only a vague look into Erionella's point of view which she talked about her running away from home because her parents told her not to live extravagantly.
Oh and it has been failed to be mentioned that Leilan, was now Erionella.
And so far her reputation wasn't looking…good.
The young man with white hair and green eyes was her younger brother with one year, Johan.
Erionella had been throwing one of her tantrums and decided to run away by jumping from the land's watch tower to the bridge which could be used to go to the capital.
Erionella's parents cherished all their children, so watching their daughter almost fall to her death and running away scared them to the point her mother fainted when they got back home and their father decided to empty the barrels of liquor in his fear.
While Johan who greatly loved his sister had to act as an older brother and scold Erionella.
"Erionella. What you did today has crossed the line. Mother and father were heart broken and the whole household was in chaos.
Do you not want little Sophia to grow up with her parents? She is only two and what you did today could have killed our parents. " Johan said with a strict tone as he paced Erionella's room.
'Being lectured for a crime I did not commit is strange, but I guess now as I am Erionella, as I have taken her body and her life, I take everything that comes with it'
"I am very sorry brother and I now understand the error of my ways. I will stay in my room and reflect on my actions then repent.
Thank you for watching out for mother and father while I was being foolish.
I haven't been acting like the elder sister and the responsibility has been pushed to you.
Please rest, brother Johan.
I'd like to retire for the day"
Johan blinked back at unexpected response from his sister.
Even the maids who stood placing their ears on the door, eavesdropping and waiting for the falling of tables and chair almost had a heart attack.
Johan left Erionella as she asked to be alone, but he made sure to put maids to watch her.
However she sent the maids out as they entered into the room.
She plopped on the bed before letting out an exasperated sigh then standing back up and looking into the mirror.
Dark amber hair that could be best called titian and jade green eyes that shone brighter than any jewel on the market.
She reached out to the mirror placing her palm on the smooth surface and the person in the mirror copied her actions.
She held strands of the hair that was apparently on her head finally realizing the reality of things.
She had read the line 'I woke up in a novel' so many times but never expected her to use it.
Leilan was now in the novel 'Life is a Fairy Tale'
With sheets of paper on the desk and a quill in hand, Leilan who had now accepted the name 'Erionella'
Various names which had no connection if someone from this world saw the list but for someone who read the novel she was in, they would understand it at first glance.
-Mareeonel
-Beneditel
-Max
-Sonia
-Veloryn
-Harim
-Elliot
-Crinoel
The eight names of important people in the novel was listed effortlessly till her hand shook at the last name.
She would have to still meet him as next week would be Crown Prince Elliot's birthday and he would have to attend.
Duke Crinoel Garcia; the villain of the story. Brother to the protagonist who would have to fight his sister as he associated with the 'Lord of Nightmares'.
His back story made readers sympathize with him a bit but his evil acts were unforgivable.
Crinoel's father, Duke Garcia was a heartless man who killed each wife who bared him a daughter then when his daughter was up to thirteen, he would sleep with her then kill her in his room.
The screams of the young ladies were enough to haunt the servants of the mansion for the rest of their lives.
Then a lady gave birth to a son for him. The first woman to ever live after giving birth to a child for Duke Garcia.
She lived most of her days being abused by the Duke.
When Crinoel was three he said words a three year old child shouldn't even know.
"Mother, why don't you find an assassin to kill the duke. Or the next time both of you sleep together strangle him"
"No my love, never think of such. Never try to repay evil for evil. One day his evil deeds will catch up to him"
Crinoel had waited for that day, but it never came.
Even years after his mother got pregnant and gave birth to a girl.
And even after he watched his father push his mother up from the grand balcony. Even after he stared down at the broken body of his mother with her blood splashed on his face and on that of the baby sister's he held in his arms.
The scene triggered the madness which he inherited from his father and flowed in his blood line.
And when his sister turned thirteen and his father sent for her to his room, then the madness flowed easily as he killed his father the moment he pushed his sister to the bed.
The sister was Mareeonel and as she was his mother's only gift from the world, he would protect her with his life.
But that was what he had thought before he entered the Ulenov.
Feeling the demonic energy and fighting against demons made him lose it and listen to his inner evil that urged him to do what he had desperately wished for.
To bring his dead mother back to life.
But that was against the balance of the world. And Mareeonel as the heroine of the novel had to stop his plans.
By killing her own brother.
Duke Crinoel was truly a pitiful and scary character. And now Erionella had formed a plan to meet him.
Because she needed him to take her to Ulenov to find the wishing stone. As he was the only one who would ever be able to open the barrier of Ulenov.
