Episode 8

Episode 8

Dec 05, 2022

In the original plot, Nialla was not a queen but a daughter of a fallen noble family. She was pretty and smart. After she married to King Lustro, she became queen. Everything was fine until Lustro took Rottie, a slave girl to be his concubine. Rottie famed Nialla which made Nialla be demoted and exiled. After Nialla had gone, Rottie used her pregnant to get promoted to become a new queen.

During Rottie's reign, she did many wrong doings which weakened Westernia later on. In the meanwhile, Alistair took Nialla as his wife. A few years later, Nialla used her wit help Alistair to destroy Westernia. Afterward, Nialla gave birth to a son but she was sick since then. Before she died, she had found her husband's true nature. She doubted his love but did not have courage to ask. Somehow, she was satisfied since she came too far from nothing. After Nialla passed away, Alistair secretly visited her grave to confess that he used her for his gain but he also loved her. His last words in the book was "This love is curse. It took lives but granted a wish. I have no regrets, Nialla"

At night, Miki and Shizuru have discussed about the different points from the original plot.


Miki: It's too different from what we've read.

Miki: Nialla got a huge level up.
Rottie is still bitchy. That's fine.
Lustro is stupid as usual.
Alistair... ah, I have no idea.

Shizuru: Miki chan, Have you heard anyone call that stupid, Emperor Lustro?

Miki: Nope. What's wrong?

Shizuru: In the book, Westernia is a kingdom but here, it's an empire.

Miki: Maybe it's kinda same. You're thinking too much.

Shizuru: Wait a minute. I bought a lot of books. Let's me check, there must be some history book that... Here it is!

Shizuru: The ruler of Westernia Empire is the emperor, however the emperor selection is very strict and secret. Most of them ended up to be just kings. Also, the emperor has absolute power and can revise the law as he wishes.

Shizuru: Wow! This sounds interesting. I don't think Lustro has a chance to become the emperor.

Miki: No doubt. His attitude is the worst.

Miki: Anyway, what should we do now?
Don't forget that we have to find that page too.

Shizuru: Mr. Harry said that the page will come to us so we just wait for it. The problem is how we gonna survive until we find it.

Miki: Speaking of which, what do you think how the story will end?

Shizuru: Well, now we are the protagonists so it's up to us.

Miki: Are you sure that we are the protagonists?
Harry didn't say that.

Shizuru: That's true.

Miki: If we are not the protagonists then who?

Miki: In the original plot is Nialla.

Shizuru: Nah. It gonna be very boring.

Miki: How about your daddy, Alistair?

Shizuru: Well, I don't think so.

Miki: Since I am the chosen one, could it be me?

Shizuru: Only you?

Miki: Well...

Shizuru: I came with you so I must be the protagonist too.

Miki: I... hope so.

Shizuru: If we cannot be the protagonists, then we must be MCs, Main characters for sure.

Miki: Ah...

Shizuru: We will drive the story in favor of us and then we will be eventually promoted to be "The Protagonists"

Miki: *Sigh*

Miki: Whatever... I'm fine with it as long as we're safe.
Anyway, let's end this so we can go home.

Shizuru: You're right.

Miki: Then, what we will do next?

Shizuru: I'm thinking.

Shizuru: Although many things have changed but most of them still follow the original plot.

Miki: So?

Shizuru: The queen is in dangerous!

Miki: I don't think this version of the queen will be famed so easily.

Shizuru: But her maid, Lady Misha may die.

Miki: Ok. I don't think so. Lady Misha is not a normal maid. She looks like a knight. I'm sure she will be fine.

Shizuru: And so what?

Miki: Well... Fine! Just do as you want.

Shizuru: I thought you gonna stop me.

Miki: Will you listen?

Shizuru: *Smile*

Miki: Why do I have a bad feeling about this...

Shizuru: Don't think too much, Miki chan. First, we need to rest. Tomorrow gonna be a long day.

Miki: Ah...


The next day, Travis brought Miki and Shizuru to visit Nialla. Now, they had tea with her in a wonderful herbal garden.


Nialla: What brings you here, little princesses?

Miki: Please don't call us princesses. we are not get used to.

Nialla: Miki? Shizuru?

Shizuru: That sounds better.

Nialla: Only in private, OK?

Nialla: Well, what do you want?

Miki: We would like to use the royal library.

Nialla: Oh...

Miki: We heard that Westernia royal libary is one of the greatest library in the world.

Nialla: That's correct. Many of rare books and documents are there.

Miki: Could you give us a permission?

Nialla: Yes but you still need a permission from the king too.

Miki: ...


Lustro who overheard the conversation walked to the garden. He agreed to give the permission with one condition.


Shizuru: You want to have a dinner with me, why?

Lustro: Just want to be friend.

Shizuru: Thank you but I refused. I know you better than yourself.

Lustro: Oh... I'm glad that you're interested in me.

Shizuru: Don't get me wrong.

Lustro: I always get what I want, you know?

Nialla: ...

Shizuru: Really? But you've just lost to my dad on the yesterday.

Lustro: YOU!

Shizuru: Miki chan, we are leaving.

Lustro: How about the royal library? You want it, don't you?

Shizuru: Well, like father like daughter...
I won't lose to you.

Lustro: THIS GIRL!!!

Nialla: Lustro, Control yourself!

Lustro: Grr!

Nialla: Let's have another chat next time, Princesses.

Miki: Of course. Good bye, everyone.

Shizuru: Thank you for today, Her Majesty. We'll see you again soon.


After Miki and Shizuru had gone, Lustro was still frustrated so he went to see Rottie. Rottie knew how to calm her hot-head king with her flattering and massage.


Lustro: You can have this.

Rottie: This jewelry box... isn't for Princess Shizuru?

Lustro: That brat is like a small version of Nialla.

Rottie: Oh my!

Lustro: Why do they want to go there...

Rottie: Where?

Lustro: The royal library.

Rottie: !!!

Lustro: Did you know something?

Rottie: Cota told me that there is a ghost there.

Lustro: Non-sense!

Rottie: Oh! I have an idea, My Lord.
Why don't we punish those naughty princesses?

Lustro: How?

Rottie: Using The Black Market.

Lustro: Silly!
Alistair won't allow them to touch his daughters.

Rottie: But they are not his real daughters. I always wonder why he adopted those girls.

Lustro: Me too.

Rottie: Why don't we test how much he cares for them?

Lustro: ...

Rottie: Since Your Majesty is the boss, no one in The Black Market will betray you. Am I right?

Lustro: Well, I will give you some men. Just scare those girls, ok?
Remember, everything is all your done, you alone.

Rottie: As your wish.


The girls were back to the hotel and Travis was reporting to Alistair. At that moment, Miki and Shizuru sneaked out of the hotel and went separate ways. Miki went to a blacksmith shop near the hotel while Shizuru went to shopping center which was far away. When Alistair learned that they were missing, he ordered Travis to track them. Soon, Travis found Miki who was surrounding by a few men in black. He was surprised that Miki wasn't afraid to those men while the town people were running away.


Miki: Who are you?

Man: Are you the princess of Easteria?

Miki: Hmm...

Miki: Knowing that I'm the princess but still want to attack me...
I guess that you're boss isn't ordinary.

Man: If you beg...

Miki: That's my line!






Those men including Travis were shocked that Miki could fight. Miki moved around quickly and knocked them one by one. Miki's kick was fast and accurate to a critical point. 


Miki: You are the last one. Tell me who's behind this.

Man: Before you know, you should worry about your cute friend.

Miki: You mean Shizuru?

Man: Now, that girl probably... so pity.

Miki: Are those men stronger than you, guys?

Man: Same but twice in number. The lady hates her more than you.

Miki: [The lady?]

Man: Ha Ha Ha!

Miki: Ok, are you finish talking? So that, I can end you now.


Before Miki could finish her last blow, that man was knocked down by Travis. Then, Travis whistlinged to call his secret guards to clean up.


Travis: Miki, my men will escort you back to the hotel. I will go to find Shizuru.

Miki: Ok.

Travis: Why are you so calm?
Don't you worry about Shizuru?

Miki: Well...

Miki: In a combat competition, I won by points but Shizuru... she won by knockdown.

Travis: !!!
