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.
