In a post-apocalyptic world, Princess Sofia fancies a commoner on the streets and follows him to the Mountains of Death from where she ends up in a 17th-century mansion, where the commoner - Heinrich - is the owner of the mansion and the Princess is forced to work for him.

“What do you want from me?” The Princess asked frustratingly. 

“You must think you are the main character or something.” The man chuckled, “Sofia, I want nothing from you. You followed me. I did not abduct you.” 

“I made a mistake. I request you to send me back.” 

“I cannot,” The man replied. “It is not under my command. It comes and goes.”

“What does that mean?” 

“That means you are stuck here. Probably for life.”

[Excerpt]

Heinrich completely ignored her, slipped the keys to the room into the little pocket of his coat, and tried to walk away from the crime scene. The Princess quickly grabbed his arm, trying to reach out for his pocket with her other hand. 

Heinrich immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her toward himself, then pushed her to the wall, holding both her hands to it. He frowned at her with all the rage he had in his body. But it didn’t hide the lingering sorrow in his eyes. They could tear up any moment now. 

The Princess didn’t know if she wanted to feel sad for him or resent him. He was a confusing man. 

“L-Let me go…” The Princess sheepishly demanded. 

“Why?” Heinrich asked with anger. “Who told you to meddle in my affairs?”

This novel is the prequel to 'Dilemma: The Chip System'. However, it's a standalone novel and you don't need to read 'Dilemma: The Chip System' to understand it. I do recommend reading it for extra spice.

This novel has taken intuition from the history of Europe. However, it is fictional and by no means connected to the real events of history.

Eternal Castle

Teresia looked at Aldrich with utter surprise and Aldrich tried to look away.

"You knew?!" Teresia asked Aldrich in surprise. "What do you mean the future?!" She asked the Princess.

"Killian and I are from the year 3002…" The Princess bluntly said. "It is a post-apocalyptic world. All this progress done here will one day vanish." She added.

"The future is terrible?" Teresia asked, "But why did he bring you here?"

Aldrich cleared his throat, "The Great Father did not bring them. They accidentally ended up here."

"And now he is not taking us back." The Princess added fuel to the fire.

"This is unbelievable," Teresia said.

"You being an immortal is more unbelievable than this…" The Princess said.

Teresia looked at her amusingly. No matter what the situation was, the Princess was always able to lighten the mood. This is why Teresia was very fond of her.
