Chapter 8

I've just entered the banquet hall of the Emperor and it makes me sing Aladin's song. The lyrics where he says, 'Shining shimmering splendid.' Because it is the epitome of this Palace's Hall.

Goodness, I'll be racking in billions if I acquire all of this when I'll get back into the modern world. If I have a Space Pouch, how nice would that be? Then I'll plan an investment. Of course, we need to think smart.

But dang it.

I'm a wallflower on the far edge where no one can see me twirling my hair like a moronic person. Should I hum too? Yes, I'll also hum the lullaby of the witch from Little Nightmares I.

"Hmm~"

"Hmm~"

"Hm~"

Ah. I quite like it.

Let us hum more to relieve this boredom while observing the people. I cannot even eat like those protagonists in other novels going to the food section, aiya.

Being sent to a world where there are other transmigrators but are too OP is nice if my situation is not like this. I couldn't live a quiet life. I am not a mob. Well, I'm living a quiet life with the feeling of 100% abandonment. Stuck in a desolate place. Quiet...

Yeah. I should just be satisfied with that...

"Hmm~"

Let's see, in the novel after the announcement of the nobles all three undisputed characters are present. Gu Mei Xiang, the second-born princess, was sitting and talking to her brother, the First Prince. Just by looking at their manners, you could see they have a strong bond of relationship with each other.

Makes me wonder what it's like to have a sibling. I was an only child before and I have always found having siblings hateful whenever I think about my mother and father's siblings, my greedy and selfishly vile uncles and aunties who only think about their own gain. Although every sibling is not as bad as them, my perception of siblings was ruined. It always makes me think that if ever I have a sibling that would have happened to me, that might happen. So, being an only child, I'm satisfied with that.

Currently, I have half-siblings, but it's worse than those vile aunties and uncles. Good for Gu Mei Xiang and her brother I do not even want to know the First Prince's name. Anyway, they can protect each other's backs. I sighed. How blessed these two people are in having the time of their life.

Now that I have seen Song Jing Hua who is as beautiful as the fallen snow calm and cool like the fresh wind. I cannot help but applaud. She is stunningly majestic alright.

An extraordinary beauty that goes to the cooler kind of protagonist who conceals her black-bellied nature flawlessly and only acts accordingly. You know, those cunning daredevils of a she-wolf kind of protagonist. Good genes. Ehem. Not as beautiful as this retarded princess I occupy that was generously blessed by the author to die the ugliest death. Nonetheless, where are the others?

Just where are they? I am sure they are somewhere near. Their halo is not something you will miss. No, it is not something that I will miss so easily.

That returnee cannon fodder beauty, where is she?!

Bai Ying Yue, oh Bai Ying Yue.

Hair as black as the hawk, cherry lips with lovely peach eyes. A body so frail, dainty, and soft with a fragile beauty that makes a man's heart soften.

Just where is she?! Aiysh.

She must be someone holding a fan if she falls and bleeds whenever she walks a hundred steps. I don't know the extent of such facts, though.

"..."

Dang it, many noble ladies are using a fan.

From my position, it's hard to find her aura.

It looks like finding her would be difficult.

There are quite a good number of pretty and cute ladies too.

I admire beautiful women as I am a woman myself.

However, it is without a doubt that many people understand why Li Jia Ying became a retard. Not only her status but also her beauty is too eye-catching as time goes by. She must be so cute when she was a child. To be exact, the closer you are related to the characters of the novel the more enhanced and beautiful you are.

If the other royalties and companions of the female lead and the second female lead have such outstanding features, there is no doubt that the male lead has the most otherworldly features.

Numero uno to be exact.

Saying such, he might be introduced after this bouquet because right now I have only seen the First Prince, AKA the Second Male Lead of the Female Protagonist.

I sighed and turned my head to the side.

"Eh!"

No, chill. I'll just act like I'm surprised again.

Even if I was genuinely surprised a while ago.

A surprised retard: "Eh?!"

I raised my head.

He's tall alright. Even when this man is just sitting, I still need to raise my head higher. Oh, fiddlesticks. Who is this wonderful being who has been near me for a mysterious length of time?! I was the one and only here! I did not sense him at all!

His uniform reminds me of the soldiers.

What a man! Even if it's the side of his face he looks like a total hottie.

A panty-ripper.

As if sensing my dumb look he turned his head in my direction.

Dagnabit. He is hot!

Daddy!

Ew. Gross. Rewind. Rewind.

"..."

Wait a minute.

Hair like asbestos. Eyes the color of pomegranate, sharp and destitute. A body carved like a warrior dressed handsomely in his purple and white robe. A black ring on his right hand, placed specifically on his pointed finger. This was the ring given by the late Emperor and only the person who has it can fully command all the soldiers of the Imperial family. Known not only for his looks but his ruthlessness and strategic plans to conquer his enemies.

The leader of millions of soldiers and thousands of armies.

The Overlord General Fu Jian Yu.

"Guh."

I sat in a daze. That description of him made me remember who he is.

This guy, should he not be dead by now?

He was accidentally killed by the Male Lead. The author did not mention what kind of accident, but Fu Jian Yu died. Because on the later description like two or three paragraphs after the first description of the Overlord, the author wrote again, 'Fu Jian Yu was pierced by his sword.'

Seriously.

You introduced and ended a character so shortly that it stuck in my mind.

Maybe this might be a butterfly effect of my coming.

Or not.

I do not know what I should feel that a person who is supposed to be dead is still alive. He is even an Overlord.

But it might be an advantage for me. Though, he is a powerful authority that is why I am worried! It's fine if he is a mob character as it will surely give a small ripple. Yet if it is the other way around...

Should I talk to him secretly? However, what gain could I give him? I do not even remember much about this story!

"Ah, there you are Elder Sister."

"..."

Mamma.

"Ngh."

Not now Second Female Lead. This is annoying. All their eyes are on me. Just great.

"Hehe."

"I made you some delicious sweets. Do you want some sweets, sister?"

I am a salty person, no thank you. Moreover, not from you, sistah.

"Uwaah sweets. Sweets! No! Ugly dirty!"

I'm not ready!

No, I'll never be ready!

Gu Mei Xian's smile is so warm it makes me stiff as a rod. I'm too cautious right now.

"Don't worry, your second sister Gu Mei Xiang made the most delicious cookie in the entire part of Jianghu."

She whispered.

I stupidly gawked at her, my eyes wide with surprise.

Why are you mentioning the Jianghu? More so, we are not really in a pugilist world nor a xianxia or wuxia novel. Murim genre is not emphasized in this story. Although I have not read this novel thoroughly and sincerely, I am one hundred percent sure that this is a historical blood-dog drama with no cultivation and 99 lightning strikes, nor is there a Nascent Stage cultivator here.

To approach me like this when it was not even recorded in the novel only means she is interested in the man beside me.

You are sly girl, so early to use me.

But I do not want to...

I just want to seat or get back to my residence. Those palace guards are so awful. I want to go back, but they will not let me.

"What do you think, sister? Come."

No! Don't take my hand!

That dessert will be my first taste of your experimentation of manipulating me!

No choice!

I pulled my hand and trotted back to my seat.

Pointed at the Overlord beside me who just glance coldly.

Howeee.

"This, desert!"

I'm sorry, sir.

"..."

"Elder Sister, the Overlord is not a dessert."

I saw her fan herself with a sigh.

Ugh. I know that.

I just do not like to be with you.

"Hehe. Face pretty."

To make it more realistic, I latched onto the Overlord's arm but before I could, he dodge. Just as expected.

"Pfft."

Gu Mei Xiang, I know I'm entertaining.

"You're so cute Elder Sister. Let me help you."

"..."

You say it like that but aren't you snickering at me like the other nobles?

Never mind, a retard knows no shame.

I giggled, standing up.

"Play dessert!"

Let's just walk like running!

"No, Elder Sister wait!"

"Retard, listen to my sister. You're so bothersome!"

This dunce of a sis-con, I am a retard who rarely listens!

"That's not good for Elder Sister, brother."

"Hmph."

Tundere sis-con.

"Alright Elder Sister, I'll show you Second Sister's homemade cookies!"

Someone! Anyone!

Before Gu Mei Xiang can grab me, I recognized the right-hand maid of the Grand Empress Dowager walking directly to us.

"Young Miss, Young Master the Grand Empress Dowager has ordered all of her grandchildren to the Shou Pavilion immediately."

"Eh?"

No. This is not the help I'm mentally shouting at a while ago.

"Oh? Our Great grandmother seems to be excited about seeing all of her great-grandchildren."

I'm sweating profusely. Good for the smiling Gu Mei Xiang, the exact opposite of what I'm truly feeling inside.
