I live a life and I exert all my strength to play the role of the Duchess.
Even in my bed, sometimes when Louis comes over, I make sure he doesn't notice anything strange.
In front of the enemy emperor, I must speak harshly without showing my fear.
In front of witches, I must always be their spiritual support, in a series of lies.
To be free from all of this...
'I'm tired.'
Here, I'm just 'I'.
Not Hilaria, it's me.
“Next time, tell me your name.”
The effect of the system window was fading.
“Sure, do you understand?”
The hand that was holding me moved away, and an amazing feeling came as if I was evaporating like fog.
As I looked at the mysterious person, I realized a shocking truth.
I am from South Korea.
Employee guide I was working hard.
The emperor in front of me is the hero of the novel that I loved to read.
Everything else…
But…
My heart suddenly stopped.
'I don't remember.'
What Casey asked him.
'My name.'
My name in South Korea, my original name, I don't remember it.
The transport magic activated, and I woke up in my bedroom at the Duchess's house as usual.
"You're back, Meow?
There's no little Louis today, Meow!
Great Cat Lucy has locked the door, Meow!"
The fat cat's tail hit the ground hard as if it was demanding praise.
She looked rather nice, but that didn't matter to me now.
I held her tightly.
“Meow!”
When I grabbed the short cat's paw and clung to it, the fat guide shook herf off resentfully.
"What's wrong, Meow?
Let go of me, Meow!"
"my name."
“Meow?”
“My name, I mean.”
“You knew, didn't you?”
The guide who was fidgeting calmed down.
I narrowed my eyes and stared at her.
Since it is a reward from the system, she must know.
“I don't remember my name.”
I said this while clenching my teeth, but the cat, annoyingly, licked the paw that I held.
“When did you know that?”
“What, did you only realize that now, Miu?”
When I met her sarcastic smile, I felt anger rising.
“Speak clearly.
What do you mean?”
I was afraid.
Memories are like the soul.
It was the foundation that shaped me.
How could I forget her?
Is it because of the tasks?
Is it because of those unknown qualifications of????
Which requires interfering with the original story?
"What happened?
Am I going to lose my memories... like this?
Speak up!"
The cat asked me quietly:
“What are you afraid of, Meow?”
“Wouldn't you be scared if you were me?”
I woke up in a strange world, and I had to live like Duchess Ariel because of the tasks that came non-stop.
I could bear all those moments because, after all, I was 'me' with my own memories.
Having my memories before death.
And now, I'm going to lose it all?
I was so afraid that my teeth chattered as if I had been thrown into a harsh winter.
"No, I don't want to.
I don't want to lose my memories.
Will I forget everything like this?"
“Huff.”
“Speak up!
Since you know, can’t you explain it to me?
Tell me everything you know, please.”
The cat looked at me calmly, looking at my condition, then sighed deeply and pushed my forehead with its soft, jelly-like paw.
“Calm down, Mew.”
It was soft, but I didn't laugh.
“Assimilating into this world means this, Meow.
You'll lose a part of yourf, Meow.
Didn't I warn you?
I told you to choose and think carefully, Meow.”
I felt strangely dizzy.
Something, something...was messing with my head.
“Remember the first important mission, Miu.
You must communicate with the main characters quickly, Miu.
Otherwise, if you do not obtain the qualifications ????...”
And what else?
Oh, I can't take it anymore.
Something was pushing out...
I felt dizzy overtaking me.
And…
"Acho!
Acho, Acho!"
Feverish sneezes broke out.
After a few times, there was an ugly fat cat looking at me with disdain.
“What is this?”
A player who had just returned from the Emperor's guidance.
I blinked and scratched my head.
What was I just talking about?
I was talking about something important, wasn't I?
At that moment, the system window suddenly appeared as if ordering me not to think about anything else.
[Congratulations!
Points have been accumulated.
Current orientation points: 13
Collect more direction points through close guidance.]
“Only 13?”
I sighed in disappointment.
“Kissing isn't easy, and yet only 13 points?
How many times should I do it?”
While I was complaining and feeling upset, the status window changed its words as if to answer my question.
A long list appeared.
[We will guide you on how to collect points faster.
Qibla: 13 points.
Skin touching: 15 points.
The kiss is under the collarbone...]
Wait!
“Stop!”
I covered my red face and quickly crossed out the long list that seemed endless with my fingers.
It was full of extremely explicit and explicit content!
‘This novel was rated 15 years.
This is not true!
Well, this isn't a novel now, but even then, it's not true!'
“Tsk, tsk, what are you doing, Meow?”
The cat looked at me, making a displeased sound as I fidgeted.
The fat cat looked particularly annoying today, so I pulled its tail hard, and it made a hissing sound.
I held her tightly.
"Anyway, I have to work hard.
Even though Casey did something dangerous, he doesn't seem to see clearly, so maybe this is a blessing in the end.
Oh, the dots, those damn dots!"
I'll reach 99 points and unlock either the move magic or the attack magic, I'll do it!
I felt like I forgot something important, but okay, I'll remember it later.
I lay on the bed with a tired body and sighed deeply.
Lucy the cat next to me yawned loudly.
“Goodnight, Meow.”
Well, you too.
I surrendered to my eyelids, which were slowly closing.
‘Today was a really long day…’
Life as Duchess Ariel, the Emperor's secret enemy and his hidden guide in the world of the novel, was also difficult today.
The hunter looked calmly at the magic stone that was glowing in the palm of his hand.
It cannot be said that there were no side effects.
However, the effect was sufficient.
'The memories remain.'
Remarkably clear memories, unlike the intermittent memories that remained previously.
But the blurry vision that prevented him from recognizing the other person was still there.
'A tone unaccustomed to palace life.
Thick hair.
A person who lives the life of an aristocrat even though he is not an aristocrat.
Someone who is outside the traditional lifestyle of guides and awakened people.
A wizard, specifically someone who seems friendly towards Duchess Ariel…'
His partner's items were a jumble of unintelligible words.
What exactly is her identity?
And…
Her clear reaction was that she seemed confused and ashamed in front of his bold actions.
Shy behavior towards men is not appropriate for an experienced female guide.
An amused laugh spread out as if he were a ferocious beast.
When he realized his partner and talked to her, he felt that all this was not a dream but a clear reality.
This alone made him feel amazingly satisfied.
It was strange for him to feel endless affection for a woman whose face or identity he did not know.
Is this the relationship between a compatible guide and awakened person?
The amazing joy and relief from pain he felt when her soft hand touched him cannot be described in words.
The woman who appeared before him was very kind and likable.
The Emperor of the Empire could whimper like a little child and rub his face with her fingertips.
He could smirk like a monster hiding claws and ing for affection.
All this behavior was not a problem.
That woman was like honey.
Dangerously sweet, so much so that if he made a mistake, he might sink his malicious fangs into her white neck.
'A dangerous opponent that cannot be abandoned.'
That woman.
His opponent.
His partner.
He will find it for sure.
'Next to me.'
He will keep it in his grip.
Whatever is holding her back, he will tear it apart to free her.
And with that, that face that shows feelings of loneliness__
'Yes, you who suffer from loneliness.'
That look that resembles him.
He will eliminate that loneliness that he clearly felt even in the fog that obscured his vision.
