"Warden, let me go!"
"No! I won't let you go. Don't go! You're my mate!"
"Warden...I'm a human but you're…"
"I'm a werewolf, yes, but I still want you. I don't care even if you're not a female werewolf."
"Warden…"
"Deila…"
Mariella's eyes were moist as she read this passage in the newly updated webnovel.
The girl couldn't help but cheer in her heart.
The protagonists finally open up to each other, ah! There will be love scenes next, ah!
Mariella was immediately eager to scroll down to the next chapter.
She's about to switch to next chapter where the protagonists would most likely hug each other, kiss, or make out, when out of the blue–
[BIP BIP ••• scanning...scanning completed!] A cheerful yet mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Mariella's mind.
The girl was so shocked that she almost threw her phone away.
'What the heck?! What scan? What– What's this voice in my mind??'
Mariella was still in a daze when the noise sounded again straight inside her mind, loud and clear.
[Found a suitable soul! Start binding...20%...40%..70%...80%...100% ••• ]
TING!
[Binding complete! Congratulations on a successful binding! May the lead system start the soul transfer now.]
Mariella almost fell off her bed.
What soul? What binding? What system?? Is she hallucinating because she reads too many webnovels?
Is it because she didn't sleep all-night and binge-read this novel??
Yes, that must be it. Otherwise, how could she hear such nonsense?
Isn't this the typical system-thingy in a lot of fantasy novels? Hahaha, she must be dreaming!
Just right after Mariella tried to calm her mind, the previous cheerful voice sounded in her head once more.
This time, there was even confetti and balloons around inside the girl's head.
[Congratulations! You're now a host!]
The image then changed, and a mysterious ghost-like figure similar to Casper, popped out in Mariella's mind.
It suddenly waved its tiny little hand and greeted her cheerfully.
[Greetings, host! You're now bound to the Baby Supremacy System! I'm your lead system, Z! Nice to meet you!]
Mariella's lips twitched non-stop.
'Nice to meet you, your a*s! What's with the baby supremacy system? Don't you know I hate babies the most??'
She likes baby-making scenes but not the babies!
Ignoring Mariella's inner remorse, the little lead system Z giggled while twirling around in the girl's mind.
[Nice to meet you, host! You're now ready to travel! Let's prepare for your transfer right away~ ]
What transfer–
Mariella's question was answered by a cold voice of a machine beeping in her mind.
[BIP. Soul transfer in process. 10%...30%...60%...80...100%...]
[BIP. Transfer complete. Have a safe journey, host.]
Mariella wished she could faint.
Transfer? Soul transfer?
'You want to whisk me away to make me transmigrate endlessly? Isn't that what happens in most quick transmigration novels with a system?'
Mariella was instantly frightened.
Ah, ah, ahhh! No!! Screw you and your baby supremacy!!
The girl hadn't even finished cursing the lead system's eighteen ancestors when her mind spun around.
Mariella suddenly felt like crying.
'Nooo! I haven't finished that chapter!! The hug! The kiss! The R-18 part in the later chapters!! I don't want to transmigrate yet!!'
Alas, everything was suddenly blurry, and a strong force yanked Mariella's soul away from her body, instantly drifting into another universe.
Mariella's mind was still dizzy, but the next second, a loud noise sounded right beside her.
SLAP!
Following the noise was a throbbing and hot, stinging sensation on her left cheek.
That one loud slap just threw her off balance, and before she could clear her mind, she found herself falling to the ice-cold floor straight on her butt.
PLOP!
Her poor b*tt kissed the floor intimately, and the cold sensation passing through a fabric of clothes almost cleared Mariella's fuzzy brain.
...this...what the…?
The girl slowly opened her eyes only to see a dazzling chandelier right above her head.
The surroundings were still fuzzy and blurry, but the scene in front of her eyes slowly became clearer until she could see the faces of two people.
One of the duo was obviously a teenager, a male. The other was a thin, fragile teenage girl, possibly younger than the male.
Both of them wore vintage western-style clothing, the same as those costumes in your usual Korean Manhwa.
What is it? "I Suddenly Became A Princess" manhwa? Yeah, that one.
The two people in front of Mariella looked stunningly similar to those people in that popular Korean Manhwa.
Of course, the similarity wasn't on their faces but on their clothing and surroundings!
By this time, Mariella had already regained her senses. Her eyesight was not blurry anymore, and her hearing worked very well.
Countless murmurs and whispers slowly floated into her ears.
"Oh, my! How daring! To slap her majesty, Queen Isabella like that– "
"Hush. That boy is the only son of Duke Haldar! Of course he dares. Anyway, he is her majesty's fiance."
"But isn't he too ruthless? Her majesty is only five…"
"What? You're defending her? That tyrant deserves it!
"But– "
"Look, Erick likes Princess Lizeth, not Queen Isabella. But the queen dares to mock Lizeth and even almost yanks her hair!"
"Oh my!"
"Hum. Don't you think she deserves that slap?"
"Still, the queen is only a child…"
Mariella didn't know why but all those whispers were as clear as day for her.
She could hear all of their words, and it somehow weighed down her mind.
...Queen Isabella? Erick? Princess Lizeth? Son of Duke Haldar? The heck…
Mariella knew that she had already transmigrated somehow, and she came into a world with a similar setting with that one popular Korean manhwa.
A western fantasy setting, maybe? Royal romance? Kingdom, yeah, something like that.
But she didn't inherit any memories from this so-called Isabella, which should be her new body.
And...what's with that slap?
Those people also said that Isabella was only five…
Wait.
Mariella's heart stopped beating for a second.
She inwardly ignored the boy's nagging and the girl's sobbing, only lowering her head to look at her hands….
Yep. This pair of small hands...obviously doesn't belong to a twenty-two-year-old college girl like her.
This...this..isn't this the hand of a child?
