BLAIRE
"uuhhh... do you think this is fine?" I asked Eunice shyly as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. My mix-colored hair was temporarily dyed with blonde and neatly tied into a braided ponytail. Some loose strands fell but they don't look messy, rather they outlined my face in a pleasant way. The long dress I was wearing was similar to that of a maid with the colors white and black.
Eunice's eyes twinkled as she excitedly looked at me from all sides. "My lady! You look so beautiful!" I hid my face in embarrassment as the other workers started to praise Victoria's beauty. Ah! I'm still not used to these stuffs! The head waitress entered and clapped her hands to catch our attention. "That's enough! Back to work!" I lifted my head and was surprised to see a familiar face behind her. "Evander!" He smiled gently a
BLAIRE "Rise and Shine, Your Highness!" The bright rays of the sun that passed through the window gently kissed my face as Joewella enthusiastically opened the curtains, welcoming the bright morning sun into my room. "Ahh!" I muffled my scream and immediately buried my face with a pillow as I shrank underneath the warm blankets. "You must get up now, Your Highness! It's already past eleven!" Her voice passed from ear to ear as I drifted myself back to sleep. Five minutes, just five...minutes... "Christoph has been waiting for you for almost an hour already, Your Highness!" "WHAT?!" I jolted up from my bed, completely awake in surprise. Shocks! How could I forget?! I immediately jumped out and ran towards the bathroom at the speed of lightning. "Let me assi--" "I'll
BLAIREI took a sip from my cup and tried to ingest my disgust in its taste. Ahhh! It's really bitter! Eunice told me that I could put sugar if I want it a little bit sweeter but Joewella protested that it would be very unlady-like. Whatever! Let's just finish this first. I rolled my eyes and impatiently tapped the table with my fingers. According to the information I received from Mr. Spy, Victoria and her boyfriend would meet up every Friday at fourteen o’clock here yet I’ve been waiting for more than three hours already! Where the heck is this guy?!The chain of the VIP room rang and when I looked up, a guy with messy tangerine-colored hair entered with a sweaty appearance. He may look seductive with those beads running down his hard chest but I couldn't help but frown as I laid my eyes on him. I had high expectations of you, dude! Every guy that I've met in this world has always been dashing and pleasant to the eyes, why are you a
BLAIRE“Uggghh!” I grunted in frustration when I saw my blade fell out from my grasp. "Damn it!" I bit my lip in irritation and instantly swinged my right foot in the air to deflect Christoph's incoming attack. The unexpected impact made him loosen his grip on his sword as he stumbled backward.Seeing an opportunity to retrieve my weapon, I swiftly turned around and ran in the opposite direction. But before I could take a single step, Christoph immediately gripped the back of my neck and pinned me to the ground.“AAAHH!!” I groaned loudly in defeat making Christoph smirk “Haha! That was a dumb move, princess!" He slowly removed his hand and stood back up "but at least you’re getting better now!"Ben clapped his hands as a warp-up and handed water to the swe
BLAIRE“How much money do we have left?” Ben raised an eyebrow questionably. I know it’s not something that must be discussed publicly but come on, just answer me before I forget what I’m going to say. I rolled my eyes and corrected my question. “Do we still have enough funds to fill a chest?”“…yes.” He replied hesitantly at my uncanny inquiry. “Good. Now, Ben, I think we can make great use of your magic! You’re a wizard, aren’t you?” He smirked at my question as he realized where I’m going and shook his hands in front of him. “I know what you’re trying to do and that’s not possible.”“Why?”
BLAIRE “W-w-what do you mean?” I averted my gaze away from his shaking eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. Well, I expected a more negative reaction and I’m just thankful that his first words are not 'Do you think I'm stupid to believe in your lies?' or ‘are you crazy?!' something. I faced him with a serious expression and explained carefully. “I know this may not sound realistic but it’s true. This….” I pointed at the sky and extended my arms to the side “Is a world of novel. I’ve read this book and I know how the story flows that’s why I knew about your plan.” “…” He closed his gaping mouth and gulped hard while wiping the spilled tea. “I'm just an ordinary 15-years-old girl who fell down on a ship an hour before her 16th
BLAIRE “Here’s the paper today, Your Highness.” Joewella placed the newspaper in front of me as I slowly took a sip from my drink. “It’s really weird to see milk inside the teacup instead of tea,” Eunice murmured quietly while frowning. I turned my head towards her and smiled sarcastically “Then close your eyes.” “Your Highness!” She cried in annoyance as I laughed out loudly. “You’ll get used to it in no time, Eunice.” “But I should not. It should be you who must get used to drinking tea, Your Highness. Noble ladies serve and drink tea in parties, not milk!” “Aya!” I waved my hand in disapproval as I frowned. I know that but I can’t get over the taste of this expensive drink yet. I have four other siblings at home and we can’t afford to buy milk so I’m taking my time and enjoying every bit of it here.
BLAIRE “-hut your sht!” “I’m telling the truth!” “That’s what liars say” “But I’m not one!” I slowly opened my heavy eyelids and adjusted my vision from the indoor lights. What’s with the commotion? I carefully got up and suddenly, 6 pairs of eyes immediately turned in my direction. “What’s going on?” I asked weakly as they froze in place. “Your Highness!” They shouted in unison which startled me greatly. They ran towards my side, leaving the poor silver-haired guy on the floor with his hands and feet tied. “Are you okay?” “How do you feel now?” “Are you in pain?” They asked me countless questions in a hurry that it started to make me feel dizzy. Ah! Suddenly, a quick shadow entered the room thro
BLAIRE “HAHAHAHAHA!!” “Stop laughing, Evander! You’re making me more embarrassed!” The heat on my cheeks is burning up as I tried to hide my face with my hands and kept my head low. “I was an expert with heights before but Victoria has a really bad sense of balance!” “Seriously! Who would try to climb on top of a door?! HAHAHHAHAHA” Ughh! My face flushed redder than it was before that I wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole. I started to hit Evander on the arm and explained,“I do! I was scared of tall places before but I wanted to be an acrobat so I conquered my fear little by little and now it has become comforting thing for me already!” Evander
