Chapter 1
-Well ,okay…
-Where should I start ?
In a small alley where people could find a place to stay, there were many hotels you could get for a fair change. At least , enough for one night out of the craziness from the streets.
-This will do! ( I said to myself after closing the door.)
It was a tiny room on the upper floor with white walls , light wood tiles , one window that would lead to some merchants tents and of course a bed. Nothing I couldn’t wish more. After blanking out for a short period my thoughts went wild… The reception wasn’t as warm as expected, not that I made an example, but at least no unnecessary questions were made. Today was a long day for me and it only seems to be getting farther away…

I need to plan! Otherwise I will be played by fate, and that may not end nicely. Yes, no more delays, let’s start analyzing what happened, so I can finally fell control over something in my life.
- Ha! ( I blurted with a tired voice.)
After I started thinking, this feels like it is going nowhere.
-No I need to keep focus.
Should that be then, the fact I go to a weekly check up with His Royal Highness?
…
No, this is too much for now. I can even fell the pircing gaze from his lower subordinates every time I’m there. Even though all of this was decided thanks to Duke Alfred, army general and that old’s man right arm. Next option would be then the fact that I was expelled from the guild for loading to much Enerian insects and other relics at once.
-Unbelievable! ( I muttered to myself ,while softly kiking the air with my feet , and crossed arms then started running in circles in the room, if anyone saw this they would think I was a child pouting after getting scolded.)
How can they do this to a very hard worker ? In my world we would normally blame the system for not being able to deal with so many information at once , and not the loyal costumers for using accordantly. Frankly this looks strange, their excuse was too blend… My eyes started to run around the room, as if they were searching for a hint about my mysterious destiny, in the end I decide to open the windows for a fresh air to come. This probably will get me more distracted then good, although everybody deserves a small pause.
Outside was getting darker, but still as lively as in the morning , the only thing that would change was the kind of people and their interests. Some tents were still opened, my thoughts went back in to the day from the parade , so many people and noise… “Next time I won’t miss the pumpkin tart!”
*Sight
-Wow, two times already.
I really should sleep after organizing this messiness. Nah, definitely gonna do this either way, for sure this will be even messier before I actually find some actual answers .
[Close to the women selling coins purses, there was a young boy around ten years old, he looked a bit afflicted.]
-Oh. Looks like he is going to steel the lady, this makes me remember something similar that happened…Ah! I know what.
Let’s go back to the day that I ended up inside an Otome game as an extra. How could that be forgotten?
~
It’s 6:30, I’m currently on my way to work , the shaking from the train wouldn’t let me rest without worrying of hitting my head on the glass. Still, my eyes were rolling a bit. Suprsily enough an substancial tought came to my mind , obviously not work related. Maybe I can play the last scenes from that game. My hands started reaching to my purse that was right beside me…
-Wait! Where is my purse? (I whispered.)
Now then never , my heart was pounding like crazy. Was I the only one who got this luck? Okay, calm down I know it isn’t on the apartment, then that means… Someone stole it! With this sudden realization my head hit the glass.
-Oh Lord, that’s great!
*Stares were directed to me.
I got up abruptly, trying to remember anything, maybe it was too late, the last time I checked my phone it was 6:13.
[breath and exhale slowly]
I’m not going to make a ruckus out of it, let’s ask for the time and… Good! There are cameras here, so later I can enter in contact with the customer service to report it. Okay, maybe I can see the time now and… Great I don’t have a phone, let me ask somene then.
-Sir, excuse me… (I said with an aflicted voice and the little patince I had with me.)
No reply. His eyes were focusing on the glass, I turned to see if there would be something , but there was nothing interesting at all, so I tried again.
-Sir? Can you tell me which time is it now, please ?
His head flicked a bit, as if there was a fly next to him. Seriusly ?” Haah…”
*The wagon was only half full
This is strange, nobody noticed it? To begin with ,since when they care… Nevertheless, it was a bit odd, but my mind was in another place to notice this stuff right now. At least , I tried to focus on one thing, what would be the next step to take, wait how did I know it was 6:30 ? The train’s clock! Really… I was planning to go to an job’s interview today, let’s see what will happen next with this luck of mine. I started walking in the direction of the clock, wait wasn’t it there before? I turned my head to my back and to my surprise the wagon now was completely empty.
-Huh? Did the train stop and I didn’t notice ?
-Creepy. (I mumured while having chills inside.)
If I had my wristwatch half of this wouldn’t have happened. Maybe, I should try to see in the next wagon now.
As I was approaching the door as I saw the back of man dressed in a black pullover with a cap on his head and a small purse hanging on his right arm. This one looks exactly like mine, perhaps that may be the case… When the door opened the man looked at my direction, even trought he had a mask on I could feel the surprise face, well the shock didn’t last long and the man started walking on a fast pace, and so did I . This time the wagon wasn’t so empty, as I began to run I had the uneasy sensation of having to push people aside, but probably I was so fast that I didn’t got to hear any complains, the only thing I heard was tha man calling me crazy? Escuse me, he was the one being suspecios here.
We ended up getting in the final wagon, I’ve tried coutless times to politely stop him, of course it didn’t work. Both of us were tired , facing each other , as we were gasping for more air, I pointed to the purse and some words came out of my mouth, it wasn’t quite audible because of the brakes creaking, either way he probably understood and proceeded to give me a terrible excuse.” I thought it was lost”. The side doors opening didn’t helped me to give a well deserved answer, the man took opportunity and run, I got right beside him and after that… What happened after that ? The next memory I had was already from the parede, I still have so many questions.
~
As soon as I regained consciousness loud noises of people around me cheering, applauding and whistling took place in my mind, was there a special event or something? maybe a celebrity is here, or better! Someone cached that shameless man, there could have been a guard that was watching me trying to catch him… Right…
Let me try to move a bit.
- Ouch!
What is this? Did I fell or something? Wait , what actually happened before? Ah, so many questions and now my body is aching so much , it feels worse than trying to get out of the bed on mondays. What’s in my left hand ? Oh, a rock ?! And a bit of blood too. Did I try trowing it or something? This is not like me.
-Ugh , it also feels like I’m covered in mud.
My hair is sticking to my face , but I’m pretty sure I washed it yesterday. Luckily It seems everybody is busy looking at other things. This isn’t felling right, was there a strike ? People are happy ,this would sound even stranger, actually… No… Better get up now and see for once what this is all about. A tingling sensation on my head made me somehow nauseous, I supported my hands on my knees and finally lifted my face to almost fall back again.
-What?
Where am I ? There is music too and horses and people with shiny clothes, armors too ? Maybe they are cosplaying ? is this some kind of a special event?
Nice, I will ask someone, and…
The music is getting louder , they even have trumpets with littles flags on… Forget about it.
Wait, wait, wait. this flag, there is something about it, I remember this flag! Right after that I took one step ahead , one of my boots splashed at a puddle and by reflex , I lowered my head to see it , I didn’t have this boots before, these clothes too. Okay, I laughed concerned , that’s enough shock for me, but now I got enough clues. It looks like I’m in that novel, and possessed someone who is apparently not found of the guards, a good sign.
*smirked
Did I play that game too much ? Please…
Well at least for now. I don’t remember anyone looking like her, dark hair and red eyes… Red eyes? Now I see where her range is coming from. That’s probably why she was wearing a cape to cover her face in such a sunny day. I need to find a quite alley or I might get in to trouble. Thinking calmer, did the that guy also was transported here ? Hopefully not.
…I will make sure he pays for that
