Chapter 188

Proofreader: ChupaChupa

“So now, could you tell me the truth about the shoujo manga?”

“Indeed, the author was dead, but I do know what’s in the sequel…I didn’t lie to you.”

“Unbelievable.”

Heretofore, the information she told me about the sequel was all designed for shaping Lucas into a prisoner, and then created the chance to make herself walking freely in the shadow.

I was almost fooled at that time.

“Ah! You are deeply suspicious of me, I know. The reason why I know the sequel is…I created that story.”

“…?”

In an instant, I couldn’t understand Vika’s words.

She looked at me with her triumphant smile.

“I mean I was the author who wrote the Merrill and the Door of Palace. Actually, I was supposed to reincarnate as Merrill, but something went wrong so that I am Vika now.”

“What??”

“It will be different if I indicate I am the Merrill instead of saying I am the princess’s sister…”

Vika muttered as she looked at me.

“I already had the third book in mind so I knew what was going to happen.”

Vika started to tell the details.

In her words, as an author of a famous comic book, she met a god and was sent into the shoujo manga’s world by him after she died in an accident.

These words were like lies.

However, I couldn’t conclude that her words were fake, because I was also sent to the shoujo manga’s world.

Anyway, who could imagine the author of this manga was already reincarnated here.

Suddenly, I didn’t know what to say.

</aside>

“I planned to enjoy the comic world which was drawn by myself as the major part—Merrill. But I had reincarnated as a villain princess from other countries, and there were also some other reincarnations outside the country. So I couldn’t let the story continue developing as the shoujo manga! My brother was too arrogant ! I didn’t know how to deal with those problems.”

Vika was speaking angrily alone.

“In fact, I did these things only for benefiting Vika, I hate to finish my life in this way. You are the same, right? All the things you have done are because you didn’t want to be killed, don’t you? Aren’t we wrong to fight for our future?”

Indeed, Vika was right.

I also tried hard to avoid being hanging all the time.

I had kept losing weight for not going to the Capital, I also tried to make Angela out of these things, and so on…

Even so, I didn’t think it’s right to invade other countries and spread bad drugs.

That would destroy the normal people’s lives which were living in Central Country. Although they were characters in the manga, they had their own lives.

(If she doesn’t do that thing, will she survive? Is life as the princess of the North Country inordinately difficult?!)

 Vika said lightly to the silent me.

“What I said to you was not all a lie. My memory was recovered when l instigated Mirarudo to fight.” 

“So, why did you do that?”

Vika had a deeper smile on her face.

“Britney, you are living in a peaceful country. The princesses and princes in the North Country are very miserable.”

The North Country was really poor.

Its lands were too barren to harvest enough food, but the taxes were rising. 

And there was a big gap between the rich and the poor, nobilities only cared about themselves.

Civil unrest, occasionally caused by civilians, had been suppressed by the power of the country.

The Central Country wouldn’t try to attack the North Country subjectively, because even if we win, we wouldn’t be able to get anything out of the barren soil.

Although the Central Country could feel safe if the North Country disappeared, it couldn’t decide casually if this war would cost more money and labour.

So, the Central Country always waited and saw, at least for now.

</aside>

“So, Britney? Why don’t you stand with me? I will get both the Central Country and the North Country sooner or later like Merrill did. I promise you will be safe and happy.”

Vika looked at me with her dark and bottomless eyes.

However, I shook my head because I couldn’t agree with her.

She casually scattered the meconium among the Central Country and did not think it was bad to invade by using Mirarudo. It was obvious that she never reflected.

Maybe she actually recovered her memory during the war.

But, her claim that she sent the fleet to weaken Lucas for Hakusu was absolutely fake.

Who could easily trust a liar?

Vika certainly would give me up for some benefits although I stood with her just like Angela did in the shoujo manga.

“No, I refuse. I don’t know how you’ve lived so far and what you’ve been through, but I can’t resonate with you that you never respected people’s life. I won’t forgive you.”

Vika had cased civil strife in the Central Country and made Ricardo lose his chance to heritage the Earl Astor’s future.

So was Ryuze, It wouldn’t be surprising if he died from overwork.

Mirarudo was also unable to suppress his own ambition and eventually has been put into prison.

The former Earl and Countess of Astor gave up their position to relatives.

Many people’s lives had been disrupted because of her.

I couldn’t forgive those who only think of themselves and I was even less likely to associate with them. Whether she recovered her memory or not, I just couldn’t forgive her.

“Really? What a pity. I just wanted to help you…”

She was clearly in danger, but wore an easy smile.

“Time was out, you will be destroyed as the shoujo manga because you refuse to receive my help.”

Vika’s red lips painted in ominous arcs.
