Chapter 10: I Accidentally Started a Yuri Route?!

Step One: Realize My Horrible Mistake

I stared at Damian.

Damian stared at me.

Lila stared at me like she was mentally resigning.

"Kiss her," Damian repeated, voice as smooth as my impending doom.

I let out a very dignified noise that sounded like a dying goat.

"I—Uh—That is—" I turned to Lila. "You good with this?"

Lila, the traitor, smirked. "Why not? You're my lady, after all."

OH NO.

Step Two: Desperate Avoidance Tactics

I needed an escape plan.

Fast.

Option A: Pretend to faint.

Option B: Set the mansion on fire and run.

Option C: Actually kiss Lila and commit to my stupid lie.

I hated all these options.

Step Three: Lila is the Real Villain Here

Lila smirked.

"Oh, my lady," she sighed dramatically. "If only I knew you felt the same way…"

Wait. What.

She wrapped an arm around my waist.

I choked on air.

"W-Wait—Lila, what are you doing?!"

She giggled. "Playing along, of course."

I internally screamed.

Damian's eyes narrowed. He did not look amused.

Step Four: The Fake Kiss That Almost Killed Me

Lila leaned in.

I panicked.

"WaitwaitwaitWAIT—"

She tilted her head.

Then—

She kissed my cheek.

"See?" Lila grinned at Damian. "We're totally in love."

I forgot how to breathe.

Damian's expression was unreadable.

Then—

Then—

He laughed.

Step Five: I Have a Very Bad Feeling About This

Damian's laugh was not a good laugh.

It was the "I'm enjoying this too much" laugh.

I took a step back. "Uh… So… You believe me now?"

Damian smirked.

"No."

WHAT?!

Step Six: I Somehow Made It Worse

"You're free to love whomever you wish," Damian said smoothly, "but the contract remains."

I froze.

"Wait… what?"

"You can love your little maid all you want," he said. "You'll just do it as my wife."

WHAT.

WHAT.

WHAT?!

Step Seven: My Brain Short-Circuits

I gawked at him.

"I—You—This—" I pointed wildly at Lila. "DID YOU JUST ACCEPT THIS?!"

Damian shrugged. "Why not?"

I screamed internally.

Lila, meanwhile, looked way too entertained.

"My lady," she whispered, "you just started a yuri route in an otome game."

I hate everything.
