Isekai: Princess Marquess Becomes Entrepreneur of Tempe

Chapters 10. Wulans

"Louis, here I make tea! I just learned it at home yesterday!"

"No, it must've tasted bad. Go there!"

Louis was sitting in the hall room of his school, when he was pensive and reminiscing about Elona.

"Louis, why wasn't we dancing at the party? I'm sure if I can compensate you!"

"With your body like that, even I become the one who can not be later..."

Memories from memory continue to cross Louis's memory. For some reason, Louis remembered everything clearly when the person he was contemplating was no longer by his side.

"Louis, I've heard about your mother dying... Don't be sad... Let's go to the park, there you can definitely feel calm."

"My mom just died and you're taking me for a walk?!"

"That's not what I mean... I just-"

"What only? Get attention, huh?? Look, all your efforts have been in vain!"

"But-"

"Don't come near me again! I'm just as disturbed as you are, you know? I'm following this engagement, just because my dad asked for it. So you don't run! Nevermind! I'm so sorry I saw you."

"But.. *hiks* I only have you.. *hiks* Louis... Louis...!"

*****

"Louis?"

"Aah!" Louis, who had been sitting alone while sipping his coffee, was surprised by the sudden arrival of someone calling.

"Oh... Kiara," Louis found Kiara's round eyes watching him deeply. The man thought that Elona in his memories called him.

"You've been daydreaming ever since. What's up?" ask Kiara. His face was worried. Louis shook his hand.

"Hmm, there's nothing."

"Related?"

"Yes..."

"Really?"

"Really, fat!"

Realizing that his mouth was throwing out the word he used to call Elona, Louis immediately covered his mouth with his left hand.

"... fat? Me?" Kiara frowned in surprise, then she noticed her own stomach. The girl felt that she had an ideal body to be called fat.

"No, err, I mean, Kiara." Louis replies, "Ah!"

"You're thinking about Elona?"

Kiara pulled up the chair next to Louis and sat on it. Then he grabbed Louis by the arm warmly.

"Not really. Just a little past." replied Louis. He went back to enjoying his coffee. He clearly lied by saying 'a little'. Because actually since the breakup of the engagement two weeks ago, he could not stop thinking about Elona.

"It's only natural that if you remember him, he's your childhood friend." Kiara sighed. His voice sounded sorry. Slowly, his eyes glazed over.

"If it wasn't for me, you would still be engaged..."

"That's it." said Louis. The man wiped the tears that began to drip from the end of the girl's eyes before him.

"The end of our engagement wasn't your fault."

"I'm just afraid she hates me. Because since you hit him last time, he's not going to school anymore... All because of me. *hiks*"

"It's all over." Louis said briefly, although in fact he himself was still thinking about whether the decision about the end of the engagement was correct.

"Did I do anything wrong, until he pushed me to a fall? I think you're surprised too, Louis, because it turns out that Elona has such a rude nature" Kiara said.

"Rude?" Louis nodded in surprise. Elona often chases after him, Elona often forces her desire to be close to him, but never once did Louis see Elona do rough.

The collision at that time was also based on the complaints of other students about Elona against Kiara, even though Louis did not see it himself.

"Ah, I don't mean to say that his personality is rude. It's possible that he doesn't know how to properly express his anger" said Kiara, who still defends Elona.

"You don't hate him. I'm sure Elona still has a good side of her."

"Hmm, you're so nice" Louis smiled as he stroked Kiara's head.

"Hehe..."

*****

"Hm~ hm~"

Kiara hummed in front of the mirror. His hands were polishing his lips with moisturizer. His eyes could not escape the reflection of his shadow.

Kiara is in a spacious room complete with expensive furniture. On the dresser also gathered jewelry, mostly light blue, in line with her hair.

Although not as expensive as those of the nobles who are higher positions, but Kiara must be satisfied with the status of her current baron princess.

At least for now, as the girl planned to have Louis completely, and become the Lady Marquess of Vandyke in the future.

Although Kiara knew the truth that Louis was engaged, she still approached the man. And no, Kiara didn't feel any guilt.

On the contrary, the girl argued that such was the way she should have walked, for her and for anyone in the world she was now.

Yes, what everyone does not know is that Kiara is also the reincarnation of humans on earth.

Is Wulan, the name that was attached to him while still on earth. Wulan is an ordinary girl who craves perfection in her life. All this time she's been living with a stepmother and a cruel stepbrother, Cinderella.

However, Cinderella becomes a princess before the story ends, while Wulan's life ends before she becomes a princess.

Wulan enters the world of Heart Story webtoon when she has an accident, just like Tara. The difference is, Wulan started out as Kiara when she was just born into the world.

In the Heart Story webtoon, it is told that Kiara is a fatherless servant child. Kiara lived in poverty and was alone with her mother until the age of five. On his fifth birthday, suddenly a noble came to his house.

Kiara and her mother went with the nobleman to stay at his home in the capital. It was only later discovered that the nobleman was a baron and also his father.

Apparently, Kiara's identity is a child married secretly between the son of the baron and the waiter in his house when he was young. Because their love was never approved by their parents, the servant was expelled in a state of pregnancy.

Then, as soon as his father got the title of baron from his deceased grandfather, the girl and her mother were immediately taken to the capital.

Wulan understood very well with the plot of this Heart Story webtoon, because he had read it again and again at least five times.

And the girl liked everything that was an element of the webtoon. The characters, the scenery, the storyline, and he also fell in love with Louis Vandyke, a figure he could not possibly meet when he became Wulan.

As soon as Wulan realized she was reborn as Kiara Perez the female protagonist, her joy overflowed instead of overstretching.

Poverty Kiara while still living in the village he lived quickly and without complaint. Every time he dreamed that one day he would meet Louis Vandyke. Day after day, he went through patiently.

Then came the time when the girl met her beloved man.

It just has to fit in with what's in the story! Got to! thought at that time. It might not be a princess paired with a prince like Cinderella, but being the daughter of a marquess couple was no problem for her either.

His marquess was Louis Vandyke. Men are cold and cute but it turns out to be gentle when they love someone. Typical male protagonists are in famous novels and are loved by many women today.

His face drew closer to the mirror, observing every detail of the features his present body possessed. Beautiful tapered face, round eyes with long silky hair in bright blue. Perfect.

He got Louis Vandyke and got rid of his engagement to Elona Locke. Again, perfect.

Wait... This isn't in the story? What don't-don't... Elona Locke is like me?

Masa, anyway? If he's like me, why is he fat?

Kiara's suspicions led her to conclude something. The webtoon he read over and over again, was impossible until he had forgotten the real storyline. But if Elona Locke started herself also from a baby like Kiara's reincarnation, why can't she avoid being overweight?

Ah, whatever! What matters is not to interfere with my plot with Louis! Even so accelerated, with the breakup of their engagement, hehehe!

Perfect, Kiara! Perfect!
