A/N:
The 'dress' that I mention here pertains to a gown since they're government is the monarchy one so when they say nobles and royalties, gowns and... armors? is kinda what immediately comes to mind in terms of wardrobe. Just saying this since the dresses now was the above or below the knee length ones nowadays. Correct me if dress is the wrong term for gowns. [th_081_.gif]
And also, I'm currently at chapter 10. Hopefully, I won't get too lazy to type the following chapters.
So here's a little(?) peek about the game's main characters and some infos.
/////ooo0ooo\\\\\
Selene's POV
...So cute...
"Daughter, you look lovely! Oh, you'll look extremely lovely in this one too! This too! How wonderful!" Mother excitedly said putting dress after dress on me.
"Yeah... This one's cute... And this too. This one... just make some adjustments here and there and it'll be cute. Ooh, I like this one! It's really elegant." I excitedly glanced at the pile of dresses that was just by my side.
"You like this? Don't worry, I'll tell the tailor to make more of this one." Grinning happily at me, mother held the dress that I liked and set it aside for later. It has some kind of modern look with roses in it AND it's blue!
'*Sigh* I really miss the convenience my previous world provided me. There's no TV, computer, and whatsoever to entertain me here. Although it's one of this world's good points since I get to wear a dress! But nothing beats the life of lazing around watching or whatever and eating foods with unhealthy ingredients...'
"Thank you!" I smiled brightly at mother while restlessly bouncing up and down on the heels of my feet.
I always wanted to try wearing a dress since it seemed cute, but never really had the reason and money to freely do so. Since I died at the age of fifteen, I never got to attend my sixteenth and eighteenth birthday along with my prom where I can totally wear a dress with a legit reason buuut, I died. I died because of a damn fire. So it was just my curiosity and attraction to them that drives me to cheerfully fit dresses with my mother.
Though I'm sure that pretty soon, I won't be as elated as I am right now. Oh well, it's one of the packages that comes with being a girl. Yup. I blame being a girl for being girly. ...That... does not make sense... I think...
Anyways, I like cute and pretty things. That's normal for girls. Anything cute and shiny attracts me.
"You're sooo cute! I wonder what your name will be. I hope it's cute." Mother patted my cheek lightly.
Right now, I can feel warmth coursing through my body. Mother looked.... very motherly.
Looking at me straight in the eyes with her royal violet eyes and her rose colored lips that was arced upwards into a smile, she looked prettier.
'So mature...'
I smiled back at my mother with pure happiness, but then the door opened.
"Go away! Knight, don't.you.dare.set.foot.here!" Mother yelled in an icy tone that would put Antarctica to shame.
'...or not...'
"This is MY house. You go out. Daughter, come and greet father. Ignore that little pest over there." Father spat out in an equally cold voice. One could sense the venom lying underneath but turned soft when speaking to me.
Father, I'm also within the 'little' category right now, but I won't give much hope for my height because of my mother, though I think that it's father making her look smaller.
I ran towards father and wrapped my arms around his neck while he scooped me up and carried me in his arms.
"Father, please make sure not to crush me." I accidentally said. I blame my instinct and foresight.
"Of course not. I love you too much to let that happen unlike a certain pest that almost lost control." Father gave a quick glare at mother and unconsciously tightened his hold on me.
I sent him a pointed look. Thankfully, he realized he was squeezing me.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
"You brute! Get away from her." Mother growled out.
"Brute? Oh, no. You're wrong. Completely wrong. It's the other way around. Such an idiot." Father sharpened his gaze at mother who was glaring back.
*Sigh* Lyla and Knight Solera, the renowned heroes of Some[So-meh], the kingdom I'm currently in.
They were one of the people who fought in the frontlines during the great monster invasion which resulted to many casualties and had the potential to wipe out the whole kingdom and even half of the population of the whole continent.
To make long story short, if not for the 'heroes' that risked their lives to fight in the invasion, everyone could have died. The whole kingdom owes the 'frontline' heroes their lives. Those heroes' family and rank sky rocketed to the point where if they killed someone, they just get detained in the dungeon for awhile.
Basically, even the royal family cannot oppose those heroes and their houses(/family).
Because of Lyla and Knight's doting along with some unfortunate situations happening, HER personality became so distorted that she's extremely unreasonable.
If ever I get handed over, the temple wouldn't be so bold to kill ME, one of the stronger and more important heroes' daughter. They would probably just toss me at the deepest and darkest part of the dungeon and leave me there to rot. That way, my death would be 'because it's my fate to come back to the Gods'.
'*Sigh* What a bleak future.'
Within two years time, the game's real life preliminary will start with all the capture targets gathering at the ceremony. I need to get ready within two years ,else I would be high fived in the face by the bad end.
Theo, the heir of the biggest and wealthiest conglomerate within the whole continent.
Jack, the rising commoner warrior of the warrior's guild.
Wilhem, one of the pope candidates.
Gabriel, Song of Time's ultimate villainess' long lost brother.
Eric, Some Kingdom's crown prince.
A total of five capture targets plus a secret character and the other villainess girls for the other routes.
First, I need to confirm whether I really have a brother--
"You make me want to claw my eyes out!" Mother spat out.
--and build connections with him. Stable enough for him not to--
"I should be the one saying that." Father said full of annoyance.
--kill me... *Sigh*
"Mother, did you not have an appointment arranged this afternoon? Father, you just came back. You must be tired, right? I'll take my lea--" I said, already retreating to the peace of my room but was intercepted.
"No. No such thing. I can just cancel that appointment with those filth--" Holding my hand to make me stay, mother also got cut off by father. Also, please don't say 'filth' in front of your three year old child.
"Don't worry. A ride across the kingdom isn't enough to tire me out. But my daughter's right, Lyla. Go to your appointment." Father said crossing his arms, his voice sounding smug.
"I'm sorry, mother, father. But it's already nap time." I said and made myself look a little worn out to get sent out faster to the sanctuary that my room is. Heh. Nap time? No such thing. The servants doesn't really care about me after all.
Hmm, I need to look for my brother to get the best results as fast as I can to win him over.
I need to find him before the game's start begins.

A/N:
So I did say in the previous chapter that I would update the day after today or yesterday, but I just got too lazy and didn't make it in time so I had to continue it today. :somethi:
Also, corrections would be greatly welcomed (something seems wrong with this sentence... whatever). Do tell if it's a bit too 'unconnected'. I'll try to edit it. *Still haven't checked the previous chapter
