Surviving As The Protagonist
Chapter 1: The Engagement Party
A diamond hall located in the royal palace of Garfield, is now holding an engagement party that is so big, magnificent, and lively. It is an engagement between the Crown Prince of the Garfield kingdom and a youngest Princess who has the blood of a witch from the family of Count Barayev.
The large hall that had been used as a holy place to carry out the engagement party was now filled with nobles with a chat and dance that dazzled. This is a beautiful sight that is very longed for by modern humans like us.
Do you know what a nightmare is? A bad dream that can even keep you from waking up forever?
Yes, I am currently experiencing it.
“Lucy, set the look on your face,” rebuke a Man sharply. The girl just looked up to look at her face with a dislike look.
True, the man who had been fond of spending long hours was the Crown Prince, a fiancee of a beautiful girl named Lucy Fleur Barayev.
The tall man with a sharp gaze like an eagle is the Crown Prince of this kingdom, the man who will fill the throne of the kingdom in the future.
He was named Reygan Garfield, a young man who even looks like a porcelain sculpture. That's right, the guy I hate the most in the novel!
“You okay?” asked the man who was surprised by Lucy's reaction who was just silent.
“Sorry, I am just exhausted Your Majesty.” said the woman accompanied by a radiant face while staring at the ruby iris in front of her.
The party residents are now whispering to see the dispute Lucy and Reygan which is even considered as a form of closeness of lovers.
They think that many rumors are not good about their relationship, but “Wouldn't they both be a very suitable and charismatic couple after filling the royal throne?” ask one of the nobles at their gathering.
“I agree about that, the fusion of the strongest Man in the kingdom with his partner who is a witch, their criteria do match!” it was their puja who looked at Lucy with Reygan as a magnificent portrait of the painting.
Lucy's face now looks uncomfortable when the nobles are very busy surrounding the two of them and even talking about them.
It's pretty exhausting for me who doesn't really like being the center of attention.
But how else? This is a common thing that happens among nobles.
The nobles are also now whispering badly about their current engagement.
“Although Miss Lucy is indeed the best witch in her class, why should she be the Crown Prince's fiancee when the mining business of Count Barayev is almost bankrupt.” whispered one of the most astonished nobles.
“You stupid?! There is no longer a noble candidate who has the blood of a witch in our kingdom right?! There was the commoner woman, but now she was married and became the young Marchionest.” other noble timps with a look of dislike.
Lucy seemed to notice some of the nobles who were talking about her in the back, their behavior was really impolite.
If you're trying to whisper about me in the back, at least don't let me hear it?!
The girl grumbled in her heart, she felt that the noble's behavior just seemed to be happy to make her mood wrathful.
“Sstt! Miss Lucy stares here!” again they successfully make the look of Lucy's face plastered with annoyance at this time as well.
Clot..
The clang of one's shoe rights made all eyes on him, a striking red-haired girl with a black dress attached to her body, she quite reaped a lot of criticism from the nobles.
They were thinking whether the red-haired woman wanted to make trouble again on this happy day?
“May he wear clothes that seem to grieve on the day of His Majesty's engagement.” he exclaimed feeling this will be a pleasant gossip material.
Fufu..
“Nona-nona isn't Your Majesty seen forced to accept this engagement? Because after the accident 2 years ago, His Majesty seemed to have no other choice but to accept this engagement with the chest room.” someone's speech accompanied by a crisp laugh.
Right now Lucy was just gritting her teeth, she was implying with a strange feeling.
The girl in red was Sheyra Chevelle, a girl her age who inexplicably likes to gossip openly in front of her.
What is more important than the woman's current existence? She was a Princess from a baron family who was none other than the female lead in this world.
Yes, the sad world of Novels titled, ‘I am the winner!’
It is true, Lucy aka Rafflesa Angelica, is just a foreign woman who was thrown into the world of Novels that she read herself. Rafflesa is just a country girl who loves to read novels. Previously Raflesa only cried sobbing, even he cried to sleep.
He only felt hurt when he thought of the end of the sad ‘Lucy Fleur Barayev’ antagonist.
Surprisingly after opening his eyelids, for the first time he felt unfamiliar with the interior and feel of the room that looks luxurious striking in his eyes.
You know, a year has passed since I lived and adapted to this new world. This is my new life, but-
Her beautiful face that was daydreaming was now scattered with Reygan's gaze that looked at her sharply, “I know you are upset, but hold your anger that.” whispered flat.
Lucy just felt inexhaustible to him, why would she bother reminding him of things that she herself already understood?
Now Sheyra seemed to smile with satisfaction when she found Lucy covered with scorn from the nobles, and Lucy is currently silent without reciprocating her behavior is not meaningful because she is afraid of him. But this is because Lucy must maintain her dignity at the engagement party held openly.
But his heart said that the woman had deliberately provoked a dispute with him. He only took an oath, for Lucy the woman was just a pebble on the road, strong and not easily destroyed, but herself not so valuable.
Lucy was only sorry for Sheyra's angel-like face, but her nature and behavior were completely opposite! Lucy was just upset, she wanted to grab the red blob.
“Lucy.” The man rebuked again, he felt that Lucy had completely lost focus today.
“I understand Your Majesty, I cannot possibly create a scene on this historic day.” Lucy said with a warm smile. At first Reygan was seen rounding his eyes, but a strange sound was heard on his lips.
“Ffftt..” the laugh is really slow.
“Your Majesty laughed at me?” he asked with an annoyed face.
“Your gentle attitude is very incompatible with your personality.” whispered so close, her fingers are now switched to kiss the back of Lucy's hand gently.
His brown net is now seen to spark a spark that indicates that the patience he was holding back from earlier really reached its limit.
Now he stared fixedly at the ruby iris, grabbed by the young man's nape forcibly until their gazes actually met, the tip of his lips now raised displaying a slanted smile.
“Your Majesty actually wants me to behave like what?! I was just trying to fit myself in front of His Majesty.” he said was really intimidating.
For a moment the man stared at Lucy, with a still unshakable gaze now inserted a few strands of Lucy's hair in his ear, then he whispered with lips that almost touched his earlobe.
“There is no need to try hard to adjust to me, because I only intend to be engaged to you.” whispered humbly, the roar of his warm breath now hit his ears which made Lucy feel amused and also goosebumps.
Degs..
What did he say?! Just engaged? Does my face look like it wants that marriage with you?!
His hands clenched tightly, if there were only the two of them here, a fist would have already floated on the face of that annoying guy. Unfortunately he could have been sentenced to death if he did that right in front of the nobles.
“Basic sucks.” kecamnya slowly, he is now just silent while looking at him sharply.
It felt like he wanted to make a mess like the antagonist in this party, but he also felt afraid that he would mess up the plot of the novel if he acted further than this.
But I screwed it all up! He just screamed in his little heart, if he had realized from the beginning that he really entered this world, this situation might not have happened.
Pukkpuk..
His burly wrist now rubbed his lucy mane gently, the girl only gawking in confusion with this attitude of the Crown Prince in front of her.
Look, that fucking guy is smiling at me? His attitude that turned soft as if he liked Lucy, but on the other hand his cold change of attitude seemed to illustrate how much Reygan hated Lucy.
“Maybe it is.” he said with an unusual look, Lucy just grieved. Did the guy just admit that he was a bitch?
Lucy's face now looks cold sweat, the man's gaze looks creepy to the point of making his hair goosebumps. Why was the reddish iris that was like a ruby gem now filled with a fading purple mist?
...***...
Bruck..
After throwing his heels carelessly, the girl with the blonde mane now dropped herself on the bed. He felt tired of having gone through this long day with all his might.
Lucy lay down in a white dress that was still attached to her body, as if she just wanted to rest without rinsing herself first. Her livid eyelids were now closing slowly accompanied by a heavy drowsiness, a second later her eyes were wide with a feeling of annoyance that had piled into one.
“Why should I be Lucy?!!” he nodded his own hair.
Crazy, that woman is crazy! After several attempts he made to cancel this engagement, none of them succeeded. In the end Lucy remains engaged to the main character Men in the novel.
Isn't this supposed to be good news, because the female lead has been engaged to the male lead?
“I also want it to be so. but I'm just an antagonist in this foreign world.” he said really desperate.
He hugged his body tightly, his hands were trembling as if he was truly afraid of this world. Moreover, why would he have to enter the body of an antagonist who would die at such a young age?
“When my own life has been sad, now I have to feel the life of suffering as someone else too.” lanturnya while immersing his eyes.
Lucy just thought, “For what is engaged to a man who even in the future will let his own fiancee die?”
Just as the wedding ceremony is taking place, Lucy who is an antagonist will be dragged from her wedding altar to death burned alive for getting unfounded accusations as a witch of darkness.
I said before I wouldn't let myself die like Lucy, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna take her life to avoid Lucy's death like this..
His eyes were now very soft, he felt that his sleepiness could not be held back anymore. Just before she fell asleep, Lucy dropped a sentence.
“Happy steps if I become Sheyra only.”
Don't forget to tap his thumb ya😉
See you in the next chapter 😙
