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

Heinrich made his way to the infirmary to talk to Killian about several things. When he reached there, he hadn't expected to see the Princess.

He stared at her, and she stared at him.

Heinrich quickly cleared his throat and turned to Killian, "I have to talk to you," He murmured before glancing at the Princess, "Alone,"

The Princess looked at Killian, earning a nod of approval from him. She breezed out of the room as if she wanted to have nothing to do with Heinrich.

"What is this about?" Killian asked.

The Princess leaned against the infirmary's door. Since Heinrich had stooped low enough to overhear her conversation with Hildebrand, she could do it as well.

Heinrich cleared his throat, "I am going back to Miraculum," He announced. "Agneth Demeter can find an antidote for you."

Killian simply nodded, "Thank you," He expressed his gratitude unwillingly.
