If it is indeed a lucid dream then the character in the game in who's place I am right now is... Princess Kayla. I facepalmed again.

I had played this game because all my friends recommended it. This game, called 'One true paring' apparently, had two levels easy and hard. I started with easy mode and finished it under an hour even though I misclicked a few times so you can gauge how easy it was. Extremely pleased with myself about how I easily finished the easy level, I now decided to play the hard mode

It was sure not joking when it said hard. Now instead of a cute country girl,(which btw, I was my character in the easy mode), I was a bratty princess who was pampered her entire life. Her whole room was painted in different shades of pink. Two out of three choices of actions she was given were always rude or irresponsible and the intimacy scores were not raising no matter what. I felt so furious every time I had reset the game that at last I just gave up and almost threw my consoler. (good thing that my love for my expensive consoler was more than the utter hate in heart for this game) I remember myself even thinking that just if I was given a free choice of my actions I would win for sure. Was I having this dream because of that? Was-

I heard knocks on my door. Somebody was here? I was too alarmed too even breathe. A voice spoke up from the other side of the door, "Your highness. I am here to wake you up early for your study session with Prince William today at ten." I glanced at my alarm clock. What is this lady thinking? It is nine-thirty! I have to meet a Prince, an actual Prince, an this was the earliest she could wake me up! Before even I could recover from this actual bomb of news, she spoke up again, "Assuming your still asleep your highness, I am coming in to wake you up"

She opened the door slowly and poked her head through it. She whipped her head around the room, that is until she saw me looking at her with my, probably weirded out, face. Her face flushed to a bright pink immediately and she quickly came in front of me and bowed.

"I am sorry your highness. I was just- uhhhhh-"

She continued stammering and fumbling but my eyes were stuck at the bar floating above her, under which 'intimacy score' was written with a very fancy font. It was filled almost to an eighty- per cent. I stopped her in the middle of her explanation

"Who are you?"

Her posture visibly stiffened. Her intimacy score went down a few per cent. Did I just do something wrong?

"Well, you were the one who hired me your lady-in-waiting when Prince William said I needed employment. I was wrong to talk to you as if we were close and to presume that you remember me. Still, I am thankful for your help"

My jaw almost dropped hearing this. Did the bratty princess really employ her to help her? Or was... he a potential love interest? Must be the second one. Wasn't he also the one who I was supposed to meet in the next half- no-  make that 15 minutes. Anyways, I need to get the intimacy score of this lady here back to where it was. Leaving the parents nobody had such a high intimacy score for Princess Kayla in the game. It would be good to have my lady-in-waiting extremely loyal to me.

"Oh, that's right! How could I forget?", I said smiling, clasping my hands together and sweetly at her, "What is your name again?"

She instantly straightened up. (yes she was bowing down to me up till now)

"My name is Olivia, your highness", her eyes gleamed with delight, as her intimacy score raised to 90℅.

Just one little push will do. I held her hands in my hands and continued my sweet talk," No need to call me 'your highness'. We both are the same age. You can call me Kayla when we both are alone, okay?"

Her eyes widened. She looked taken aback. "Are you sure? I am merely your lady-in-waiting...", she said with a hesitant tone.

I just simply nodded at her and pulled her into a hug. From the corner of my eye, I saw the intimacy bar raise to full. I smirked. Guess this time I will win this game.
