Chapter 3 : This is It!

I closed my eyes as I sensed the strong wind blowing in the hot weather.


Only then did I open my eyes when I heard the voice of a man who seemed to look for someone.


"Beth, I searched everywhere to find you.
"


My eyes widened when I felt someone hug me from behind.
His hands were on my waist. His chin rested on my shoulder.

 
It felt like someone threw a bucket of icy water on me.
All my body hair stood up. 


I struggled with extreme fear.


Who is this man?
Where did he get the courage to hug me ?!


When I was about to confront him, he disappeared.


I was the only one in this vast lavender field.


Where did that go?


"Big Sister!
Wake up!"


I rolled my eyes because of the ear-splitting voice.


I knew it was a dream that is almost a nightmare.


I guess my dream is weird.
I did not want to have a boyfriend. Is it the effect of reading a romance novel before going to bed?

When I looked around the room, my parents were on the sofa. An unfamiliar man was sitting there as well.


Oh my.
I was not notified that there was a visitor. I ran to the bathroom and made myself look presentable enough.


"My Daughter, Thank you so much for helping your siblings.
"


If this was the reaction of my parents, it means ...

"I am George, Ms. Heart's representative. We have explained the details to your parents. Are you ready? You need to report to Madam's office. "


I nodded.
And then I asked if I could have breakfast first and say goodbye to my siblings.


They agreed and added that they would come back after 2 hours.


In fairness, they work fast.

My parents cried after they left. I could not eat well because they were too emotional.


I said they should focus on the operation.
My older sister called me and announced her return to the Philippines after the recovery of our siblings.


"There is snow in the USA!
" I told the twins.


Even if they do not show it, I know they are afraid of whatever the outcome would be.


I want the operation to be successful so that they can experience normal child life.


I waited outside the hospital to wait for Sir George’s arrival.


I did not look stupid because they came right away.


When I entered the building, Ms.
Receptionist welcomed me. She let me know that Mr. George will take care of my belongings.

I followed her as she walked away.


"You are silent," she commented while pressing the code that will open the door.


What can I say?
I do not have a talk host show personality. 


"Come in," she ordered.


Only my eyes moved as I inspected the surrounding.

We are in a control room. You will immediately notice 3 computers the moment you entered this place. It also has a mirror that serves as a divider because you can see a bed and monitor on the other side.

For sure, that will be my bed in the next few days.

My hunch was right because the receptionist informed me I should lie down and wear the weird helmet with many wires attached to it.


I took a deep breath.


The assistants said to close my eyes so; I did.
I heard them do the countdown. After a while, I suddenly felt dizzy. I feel the excruciating pain caused by the stinging flow of electricity in my muscles.


I did not know how long I stumbled.
I just woke up because of the intense shaking.


I slowly opened my eyes.
A woman wearing a long black flock dress with puffy sleeves got my attention. 


She must be my personal maid based on what I saw on her stats.


Based on the handbook, I would see important information about the characters of this game.


"Nora, where are we?
"


I could see her emotions transformed.
Now it seems to worry.


"We are currently traveling to Larson, the district headed by Count Viscar.
"


Oh, I see.
I transmigrated when Miueriella would find out the truth about her life. Let me explain it to you.


As I mentioned, they based the game on the story titled Persephone's Pomegranate.
The major character is Miuerella, a woman with angelic beauty and character who will captivate Crown Prince Reyner's heart. Before the movie-like encounter of the two destined people, you need to know that his adoptive father abused our heroine for fourteen years.


When she was a baby, Count Viscar kidnapped her to avenge his unrequited love.


Count Viscar must be lucky because I am not a lawyer in this world.
Otherwise, I will file multiple charges against him. I would make sure that he will suffer.


Wait, what is my role here?


I tapped my wrist because that was the way for me to see my avatar’s information.


Ah, not that bad.


Bethany Grimaldi.
The youngest child of Marquess Grimaldi and one of Miueriella's friends. In the novel, she was just a humble side character. But do you know how beautiful it is? Her life was peaceful. She was not a villainess. She does not have to worry about her future.


All I have to do is to make sure Miueriella and Prince Reyner will stay together, eventually.
That was the supreme goal of this game.


The Cupid’s Adventure.
A game where you experience how to be a cupid with a twist! There are 3 hidden quests in this game. One of them is to be a cupid. When I asked Ms. Heart what the other hidden quests are, she answered I would also know it when the right time comes.


I will be the best game tester!
Because if I die when the other hidden quests are unlocked, that would mean salary deduction.

“My Lady, are you all right? Is there something wrong with you?” Nora asked because I suddenly clenched my fist.

I gave her a gigantic smile, I said, "I guess I'm just bored."


I was looking out the window.
I admit it, this kind of trip is not good. It was too shaky that you felt like there was an earthquake.


Instead of complaining, I just thought this was for my siblings.


After a three-hour trip, I was thankful we had arrived.
When I got off the carriage, I walked in a zigzag manner. Nora was already supporting me by holding my hand. 


While walking towards Count Viscar's estate, a girl made my dizziness fade away.
I thought this was not the right time for us to meet. The gameplay proved me wrong because I suddenly received a notification.
