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 closed her eyes, recalling their entire day one last time. Although Heinrich was out for work, he ensured the Princess had a great time. They tried good food and walked along a lake, and now he was above her, caressing, fondling, and loving her.

The Princess was flushed in red as her bare body touched his body. She was 21 and inexperienced. But Heinrich was so good at everything. She didn't even feel the need to move.

The events occurring to the Princess were not okay. She couldn't stop looking at Heinrich. He was perfect. She thought it was unfortunate that she was here just for the hardships. Because her heart wanted to stay.

The Princess frantically pulled Hildebrand to the garden while Heinrich was in the study room. After pulling him to a corner behind a tree, the Princess looked at him with wide eyes.

"Are you okay?" Hildebrand asked with a frown, "You look like you saw a ghost."
