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

The Princess opened her eyes, lying down on a straw-filled bed. She noticed a man hugging her, burying his face in her neck, and sleeping peacefully. The Princess gulped, looking to her side.

A handsome man accompanied her in bed. He had sharp features and beautiful eyes. He looked familiar. However, the Princess didn't remember having such a relationship with a man. The Princess sat up abruptly, causing the man to wake up from his slumber.

"Elisa?" The man called her with a name she couldn't recognize. "What is it?" He asked, looking out the small window of the villa to see it was still dark, "You should sleep in a little more. That fall must have fatigued you."

He was speaking Greek. However, the strange thing was that the Princess could understand it despite no prior knowledge of the language.

"Where am I?" The Princess asked with confusion.
