My name is Choi Jiyu well that was my name before I died at least.When I opened my eyes I realized that I was in a isekai novel called 'Marionette'.So basically I isekaid in an isekai novel and guess what I'm not even a villainess. I'm just a side c...
When I heard his words I froze.I knew that everyone was looking at me even Kaelean and Mary and everyone was waiting for my answer.I needed to think quickly cause this decision could totally change the plot of the story.
I smiled and answered in a lovey-dovey voice," I would be honored to accept your proposal."Eugene raised his eyebrows a bit when he saw my face and heard my answer.He took my hand and then escorted me to the dancing hall.I had no choice but to hope that my act would successfully drive Eugene away just like it did with Kaelean.But something about the way Eugene acted rubbed me in a bad way as if he knew I was faking a smile and that he knew how I actually am in reality.I don't remember meeting him before so maybe it was just a random thought.
Eugene put one hand on my waist and his other hand was touching my other hand.I put my other hand on his shoulder and smiled at him while dancing.

Eugene was one of the people who had a serious face and only smiled around people he was comfortable with but right now he was smiling not a big smile but i could see his lips were slightly turned upwards.He didn't say anything while we were dancing and when the song finished he smiled once again and kissed my hand and walked away.I then quickly went back to my corner and I could feel everybody's stares on me. Eugene's fangirls looked at me with their faces in rage after all he is the no 1 bachelor along with the youngest master mage in the Arevacii Empire,Kaelean is not in this list because he already has a fiance although that doesn't seem to be much of a problem to those thirsty vixens. But dude it's not my fault , I accepted his offer because male leads have this attitude due to which they get attracted to people who refuse them or to those who are not affected by their male lead aura. Kaelean gets interested in Mary in the first place because of this very reason. I'm not so stupid that i would dig my own grave that's why I had to accept his offer.
Shit Shit Shit i just remembered Odette's flushed face .How could I forget such an important information. Odette had a crush on Eugene since she was 12 as he was one of the few people she had interacted with.I quickly looked for Odette but i couldn't find her anywhere in the crowd .Instead I saw Mary looking at me with eyes full of curiosity and there was also a hint of contempt in those green eyes.Then suddenly the Emperor and Empress entered the room and everyone inside could feel the majestic aura these two individuals gave off.The empress smiled at me.I don't know why i always feel cautious whenever the empress smiles at me like that.The emperor addressed everyone inside the room and thanked them for attending the party and then he said,"I have two important announcements to make tonight . The first one is that, the National academy will now accept children who are 14 and above .As you know earlier the qualifying age was 16 but I have decided to reduce the qualifying age for children so that they can acquire more knowledge at a younger age.And the second announcement is that i have decided to annul the engagement between Kaelean Xanchior and Mary Stagbon due to personal reasons.I have informed Count Stagbon about this and we have both agreed on this matter. This is all the announcements I have for today."
{Everyone was shocked but there were three people more distraught than all the other people.}
Khione's pov
That was not an announcement the Emperor had dropped a bomb that was never mentioned in the story.This would change the whole plot.It was too soon to annul the engagement. Kaelean right now does not have solid feelings for Mary but is only interested in her.This decision could change their future relationship . All my hard work could turn into nothing.No no no i did nothing that could have altered the official plot.Why is this happening?My face was full of confusion and i couldn't hide my emotions right now.I was too deep in my thoughts that i didn't see two people looking angrily at me .
Kaelean's pov
After i heard my father's announcement i couldn't help but feel that it was my mother's plan. She had never liked Mary that much and these days I noticed that she was getting very close to that Khione girl.I have a feeling that this Khione is a sly person who has somehow managed to gain my mother's favor.I looked at Khione suspiciously.Although I do feel a bit sad about the engagement being annulled because Mary was starting to become interesting but there is nothing I can do about it and anyways she wanted to annul our engagement and I also forgot that i was going to annul our engagement after my debutante party so it's fine that my parents stepped in.But what i don't like about this situation is that there is a chance that Khione might become one of my potential fiance candidates due to my mother.
Mary's pov
Wait ,why is Eugene Callisto dancing with Khione Renstiel .Why is this woman who was never mentioned in the story always at the center of attention.I looked at Kaelean and he was also looking at her .Seeing him look at her made me irritated for absolutely no reason.I told myself to come to my senses and stop paying attention to both her as well as Kaelean .After some time the emperor entered and started announcing.
What! .My mind went blank when I heard the emperor's announcement regarding my engagement to Kaelean.This never happened in the novel.According to the plot Mary manages to stick with Kaelean for two more years after which she is exiled and killed. Thats when i realized , shouldn't I be happy cause now i have cut all ties with Kaelean and have avoided my future death.Wasn't it me who wanted to annul our engagement in the first place .Then why am I not feeling relieved, instead i'm feeling a bit disappointment. Not only that I can't help but look at Khione and some part of me blames her for this decision although it has nothing to do with her or maybe it has . I don't know. I think I really need to stay away from Khione as she is more of a danger than Suzy cause I know what to expect from Suzy but Khione is an unknown new character.By hearing this announcement I convinced myself to not associate myself with Kaelean but I don't want to ignore him because he is not that big of a jerk i thought he was.
{
The party then ended and Khione was still in shock and dismal.She was on her way to her room when she passed the Empress.She greeted the Empress and then continued to walk towards her room when a magic barrier stopped her right in her tracks.She knew whose magic barrier it was and she was in no mood to hear him chatter.She broke the barrier using her magical power and then the red-eyed guy formed another barrier.This one was way stronger than the previous one.Khione didn't want to waste her mana on him so she turned.Her expression was cold and angry.But this didn't stop the other figure from approaching her.
