[Altar POV... ]
Yoohoo, back to me again in this magnificent bedroom of mine. Yeah, I have decided to own everything about this person. Hold your horses, and I'll tell you why I changed my mind suddenly. Currently, it is night, and I'm lying on my bed. But I'll resume the story where I left off.
So in the morning, after getting a series of shocks from the almighty king and queen, me giving all positive answers and keeping the outputs as short as possible. We left for breakfast. I don't know what my mouth is fed in the stupidly large dining room with most of the table unused and silent. I kept my loose mouth busy with food so it won't spill any more beans to make my life difficult. And my brain? It lost connection with my body ages ago and revolved in its own world. After the long ticking breakfast, all returned to work and me to the bedroom.
After entering my room, I shooed the greyhead out to clear things in my head. I found a pen and paper on a study table in the room and started writing down the things I got to know in the morning meeting.
'What I know in this world' list:
1. This person's name is Altar Nico Dinsmoore.
2. He is the prince of the Empire of Dinstake.
3. He has a father who is the King, a mother who is the queen, and an elder brother who is the crowned prince(I assume, and I need to know their names.)
4. His brother's name must be Aloysius Nico Dinsmoore. (I guess I don't really understand this concept of middle names.)
5. He has a butler named Mr Ambrosine. (I need to know his full name.)
6. Apparently, he can get into someone's dreams. (Is it a kind of magic power?)
7. He tortured the prince of the Empire of Orlivine to get engaged to him through his dream. (And I'm the one to engage him!)
8. And last but not least, everyone except the king and queen seems to hate him utterly. (why? I don't know, but sure, I'm one of them)
That's it no more. But something is better than nothing. Where is it, and what am I doing here? No clue. And about the hate, I could feel their hatred through the intense glare on me all the time, mostly by his brother. For instance, I thought he is trying to stab me bu his stare. Then there are a few logical and illogical possibilities that I could come up with. They are:
1. I time-travelled unknowingly and came back to the medieval timeline. But that doesn't explain the power of entering into someone's dream. More, the king said about that power so casually that it is common to be a witch.
2. This is the most logical thing I can come up with, that is, I'm dead and went to heaven. Due to not having happiness in my life, god thought to give an illusion of everything I didn't have, such as riches, parents, family and all. But that doesn't explain why people hate me and why I am fantasising about marrying a guy. From what I know myself, I have never been attracted to a guy or a girl, as a matter of fact. Or am I?
3. And the most awfully illogical thing to come up with is I transmigrated into a new world or a book where marrying a guy and having powers is a common thing. This could explain almost everything that I experienced, so for now, let's think this is the case.
The problem is none are willing to talk to me if it is not about the work. Whom to ask about this guy's personality? And when I'm next to go insane. I found a letter on the desk. Though it is rude to open someone's personal letter, he took my personal soul, so it is balanced.
THE LETTER
Dear Xenos,
I am writing this letter on the auspices occasion of acceptance of our marriage proposal. I wanted to go into your dream and meet you in person, but I thought you might need a few peaceful nights to sleep so that you would look great in our engagement. But you don't reply to any of my letters, so I had to go into your dreams forcefully. I love you so much that I can't wait to meet you, blood and flesh.
What might you be doing? Maybe you are with your so-called lover? I'm informing you first that I hate to share what's mine with anyone, so stop meeting him, or you know my stubbornness. I will do what I can. This is not a warning or something. I'm just expressing my worry to my dear husband.
Do you remember the first time we meet, that snowy December night? You were so shining that I fell in love at first sight. But, the bad thing is I could share it with anyone. That was the most memorable night of my life. How I wish I could say all this while looking into your eyes and lying in your arms. That would be wonderful, and it's going to come true in the near future.
Dragomir Xenos Oleander, your name is always on my mind, and it goes smoothly in my mouth. You will soon be the King, and I meant to follow you as your Queen. What luck do you possess that you took my first love?
Your loving fiancé,
Altar Nico Dinsmoore.
He is a freaking PSYCHOPATH..... What? Should he be grateful to you that you will leave him to sleep peacefully? Or should I say, 'Oh... I love you so much, my dear fiance. To warn me before heading to stay away from my love?' Damn it! For sure, I will be the one who will be killed by your first love. And elaborating the first meet? Something is fishy in that I felt blackmailed only by reading as a third party. What would he do to me if this letter was sent?
Ohh....wait, it says he never replied, which means he already sent a ton of this nonsense to that person? God, why didn't you just take me instead of sending me here to die twice?
First things first, let's update the 'what I know in this world' list:
9. (Addition to the older list) The person who I will be engaging is named Dragomir Xenos Oleander.
10. He already has a running love story, and this Altar is the villain to that.
11. I assume he blackmails that Dragon guy with something I can't understand through the letter.
12. Dragon guy detests Altar.
With this, I am successfully doomed. He has given me zero space to live. But on second thought, everyone hates him, including his brother and fiance, yet he still leads a perfectly wonderful life. He has servants to serve even though they dislike him, has rich cause he is a prince, and has backup from the king and the queen, which are the things I wished for but couldn't acquire. what else to wish for? So, for now, let's be Altar and have fun. None would find the difference if I acted carefree cause he is already known to be a brat. Hence I'm safe. But I need to know about him, his family and this era more for assurance. Family and era are sorted, and could find it in the library but his already-known nasty personality? Where to find it from?
Due to the non-stop usage of this unused brain, I felt hungry. Fortunately, it's lunchtime. I went to the corridor to reach the dining room unassisted, which is why I was lost. With me, searching for a dining hall like Cinderella, a Lilliput dashed me, and he fell. I mean a kid, but too small compared to my original size. He has a cream bun in his hands, which fell down on the floor. The lilliput didn't reach for the bun but kneeled in front of me and started pleading for mercy! How much of a cruel guy is this Altar!!????....
