"Theo's Dilemma" 

Theo, who was currently lying on his small bed, instantly opened his eyes wide.

[Really? Something happened...did one of the important characters change the plotline?] His voice held a hint of bewilderment and awe.

The novel had just started and someone already changed the plot!

[Yes, young master. The novel said that there should be a rebellion today, and Isabella would be executed. But no rebellion happens, ]

Gary replied to Theo enthusiastically.

This is a big plot deviation, ah!

Theo tugged the corner of his lips, forming a lazy smile before yawning casually.

[As expected...there is another host playing as Isabella. I'm sure of it. If not, there's no way the plot will change this fast.]

Even Gary also agreed with Theo's statement.

[Yes, yes. Just a few days ago, Isabella executed a dozen ministers and officials in one go.]

Gary paused before continuing.

[There's no scene like this in the original plotline, but this movement changed everyone's impression of her, and also cleared her bad reputation by a lot.]

Maybe that's why the rebellion didn't happen.

Theo himself also believed that Isabella in the novel was wronged, and it was no wonder why there was another host assigned to change Isabella's fate.

After all, these systems never helped a real villainous character and would only help wronged characters to change their fate and break the plotline along the way.

[But I just didn't expect Isabella's host to be so powerful. She can change the plotline before the rebellion starts, ] Theo marveled.

The novel plotline started a week before the rebellion...it was amazing for the host to flip the table in less than a week.

[Or maybe the mission that the host received helps them a lot. Who knows? Anyway, the host should be happy that they have passed a critical scene.]

To be honest, Theo was a bit jealous of whoever became the new Isabella.

After all, his own death flag was still there…

Oh, wait, he didn't have any death flag. But this body's childhood days were really terrible, and he had to change it without being OOC.

For Theo, considering Kian's character, it was really hard.

Kian never thought of rebelling against his father and had always felt that he deserved to be hated– because he caused his mom to die from childbirth.

That's why when the prime minister hit him, kicked him, or slapped him, Kian accepted all of it.

Although he felt awful and couldn't understand why his father always hit him, Kian accepted all the prime minister's abuse with no complaints.

In his mind…he thought that maybe because he's a naughty kid, that's why his dad beat him.

Then, when he tried to help his dad's work, and his dad got angry instead, he thought that maybe...he was too nosy.

Since then, Kian didn't dare to do anything the prime minister didn't tell him to do. He lived like a soulless puppet, and even his face looked like a doll with no emotions.

If he laughed, his dad beat him, saying that he purposely looked down on his own father.

If he cried, his dad was disgusted with him and said that he was too weak, a disgrace to the family.

If he got mad...well, the prime minister took it as his son challenging his authority as the father.

If Kian disliked something, the prime minister felt that Kian was just too picky.

If Kian showed any other emotions, the prime minister would have thousands of reasons to despise him.

In the prime minister's eyes, the boy was a monster who killed his beloved wife. His wife hadn't even seen the monster she gave birth to and died from childbirth.

Theo's mission was to change Kian's childhood, but it had been ten years since Kian endured the abuse.

Theo, as the host, had no choice because he entered the body when the novel plotline started.

And Kian was already ten years old when the novel started.

Ten years of abuse...Kian was already numb to it and didn't even think it was abnormal.

If that's the case, how could Theo stop the abuse without being OOC?

[Say, should we just pay someone to kill the prime minister? If the prime minister dies, the plot will deviate even more.]

Theo clicked his tongue as he asked the floating monocle in his mind.

A hint of murderous intent slipped pass the young man's mind, almost scaring Gary.

'This black-hearted young master!!'

Gary took a deep breath and shook his head desperately.

[We can't kill characters either indirectly or directly! It's against the rules! We can scheme against them, but no killing!]

Theo immediately grumbled at Gary's refusal.

This is his first mission, and he really didn't have any experience, ah. He's also anxious, okay?

If he failed his first mission when the mission world rating was only F...how could he face his father back at home?

Won't his stinky father laugh at him to death?!

Theo didn't like to read romance novels, unlike Mariella who read all sorts of novels, so he didn't know many tricks and tips used in this type of romance novel.

Maybe that's why Mariella had a higher status as a host than him, who had no experiences with various novel characters, themes and storylines.

Gary listened to Theo's troubles and was quiet for a few seconds before reacting.

[Maybe get external help? If someone knows that the prime minister has been abusing Kian, maybe they will help Kian to solve the problem.]

That wouldn't require Theo to act OOC.

Theo's eyes instantly brightened at Gary's suggestion. He immediately rose from the bed and mumbled.

[Good idea! Then, who should we find as the external help?]
