The Unknown Character of the Novel

III.

My days are usually very peaceful without much work. There's no drama whatsoever. I guess since I was literally an unknown character in the novel, my life was boring.

I was glad a new life had begun. But there was nothing else to do in a country village. To prevent myself from dying of boredom, I always walk around the little village where I reside to look for something interesting or witness some real-life drama. However, this village is also boring.

For someone who came from a world where TV exists, this is quite torture.

However, I came across a very amazing story while I was wandering in the village. It was a story about a count's daughter's broken engagement, and the reason was the crown prince and the two archdukes.

Noong narinig ko yun biglang pumalakpak mga tenga ko. Since I'm already inside the novel, wouldn't it be perfect to watch the characters in real life?

Screw TV dramas. Let's go with real-life drama, and the capital is the place for that.

Agad akong bumalik sa bahay at hinanap ang tatay ko. Nakita ko naman siyang nagdidilig sa vegetable garden namin.

"Papa, I want to go to the capital. Give me money!"

Even though my father was confused about what was happening, he still agreed and helped me prepare before I left.

Father has a close friend in the capital and a noble at that. Count David Emeloth. I was surprised when I learned about their friendship when the Count was here in Selova years ago. I also got acquainted with her only daughter, Chloe, with whom I still have connections. We exchanged letters over the years.

So okay na ang aking accommodation sa capital since I will be staying in the Emeloth mansion.

"Araneah, while you are in the capital, don't forget to write a letter, okay? And please, avoid getting into trouble. The capital is a very scary place. You have to behave."

"Noted, Papa. I'll be on my best behavior."

"Take care and enjoy your vacation. Here's a pocket full of money. If you need more, send me a letter."

"Whoopee! I mean... yes, papa. I will keep that in mind." sabay kuha doon sa pocket money.

And that's how I embarked on my trip to the capital. Fiery Hearts, here I come!

"Hayyy..." buntong hininga ko.

"Why did you sigh, Milady? Is something bothering you?" The maid, whose name I do not know, asked me.

Bothering me? Yes, there is. Is what I want to say, but let's just forget it. She is a servant of that scary Thierri guy.

Patuloy lang sila sa pagpunas sa buo kong katawan. Katatapos lang nila ako paliguan kaya ngayon pinupunasan nila ang hubad kong katawan. This is so awkward.
