After that awkward encounter with Alyn, the rest of my time was spent in the library. I breathe in books, and the library is my safe haven. Well, books in this dream are strange compared to the usual books I face in the real world but it was definitely interesting for a bookworm like me.

The following days, my indulgence in reading is always disturbed by my maids calling for the prince's visit, which usually happens in the afternoon. The thought disturbs and annoys me at the same time.

When he visits, we would usually go to have our afternoon tea time in the garden and he would try to talk to me. I always end up cutting our conversation as short as possible, because I am not interested. Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to be rude. But knowing that Alyn would be my future killer, I don't dare even trying to get closer to him than what we are already. Na-uh, not happening at all.

"What kind of books do you like to read?"

Oh shit, he is trying to start a conversation again. (Sigh) When will these awkward days ever end? Can't he just stop visiting me? Doesn't he notice that I don't like seeing him or talking to him even a tiny bit? I thought he's supposed to be intelligent, WHY IS HE SO FRICKIN DUMB RIGHT NOW?!

"Anything." As usual, I would give him short answers. Dumb prince.

"Like?"

"Like a book entitled 'Can you please stop talking to me?'"

"..."

Finally, he seems to get it that I don't want to talk to him. Heh~ dumb prince.

"What is it about?"

Oh, Now I concluded he is what I thought he is: an absolute, DUMB PRINCE. I raised my head and saw him smiling; his chin was resting flatly on his palm as if, I don't know if he is trying to provoke me or he is simply interested.

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY ASKING ME THAT?! Damn, I suddenly had the urge to throw a table to him!

Maybe the real Alyn is truly dumb and slow. Why is Alyn in the game and Alyn in this dream are so different?! The Alyn in the game is less.. dumb and annoying.

"It's about a girl who keeps hinting a boy to stop talking with her. But surprisingly, the boy is a complete idiot and he doesn't sense that, despite the really obvious clues. And oh, rumors say he is smart. I wonder in which chapter was that proven" I said in an imperative but deadpanned tone as I stared on the book that I was reading. I'm really, REALLY, trying hard to focus.

But despite that, I heard him chuckle. Now, he's seriously one strange prince.

"What happened then, to the boy?"

I am at my limit. AT. MY. LIMIT. I felt a vein popping on my forehead, but ugh, it must be my imagination right? Or else if a vein did pop in my head, I will have a stroke. Wait, it should be arteries, not veins since stroke usually happens on arteries. Just so you know, arteries and veins are different, okay? How?

Veins carry deoxygenated blood, meaning, it's depleted of oxygen. Meanwhile, arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or the artery ruptures or bursts.

Oh my, pretty and awesome brain. why am I suddenly discussing this?! Ahhh I remember. It can't be helped since I usually explain things the same way to my patients.

"Violet?"

Hmm... arteries and veins.

"Violet...!"

That annoying voice snapped me from intellectual delusion. I blinked twice before I raised my head. Wait

WHY IS HIS FACE SUDDENLY SO DAMN CLOSE?!

Before I realized it, Alyn was leaning towards me with a smile on his lips. "Good. Looks like I finally caught your attention."

I quickly backed away from him. It was a good thing that the table was in between us but still! It's not fair that he has such long legs! And also... WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?!

Anyway, I gave out a sigh of relief when he leaned back to his seat.

"What were you thinking about?" He asked as he took his cup of tea.

"About the... book."

"What about the book?"

My goodness, he's still on it? Sighhh

"Again, the boy in the story is so dense. The girl keeps on hinting that he should stop talking to her and yet the boy doesn't get it at all. I thought you understood it the first time I told you." I looked at him with an exhausted glare.

But for some reason, his smile grew wider, as if he enjoys teasing me. "Ah, the boy might not be dense you know. What if he just wanted to talk to the girl?"

Wait. Does that mean that he knew it all along?!

"Well if that's the case, the girl is not interested with the boy so he should just step back and shut it."

"But the boy seems to be interested in the girl."

Before I can unleash my counterattack, his butler suddenly went beside him and whispered something to him which made him sigh. I wonder what that was all about.

He stood up with quite a disappointed look, "I must apologize if I cannot accompany you any further, Lady Violet."

Although despite what he feels, everything suddenly brightened up for me that my eyes sparkled when I heard what he said.

I smiled delightfully at him as I stood up as well. "Really? Then I shall not stop you from leaving. Please take care on your way back, your highness." I wonder if he felt the sarcasm on that remark.

Alyn stared at me for a while and muttered something under his breath before he smiled once again. "I shall visit you tomorrow. I look forward to spending time with you again, Lady Violet"

The transition on my face was so quick, the smile on my lips disappeared and I pouted inwardly. I DO NOT look forward to anything related to you. But I should not put my hopes up, he'll definitely bother me tomorrow too.

I watched him as he held my hand and kissed the back of it. I felt a chill run down my spine when I felt his lips on my hand.

Ewww...

A smirk found its way on his lips as he let go of my hand. He must have felt victorious upon seeing the expression on my face.

I admit it, he looked handsome with that smirk on his face but that was not enough to attract me! He's my future killer and I will never be attracted to him! NEVER!

Give me a mirror! I want to see what kind of expression I'm making!

----

As I lay down on my bed, I realized I never felt so emotionally and mentally drained just by dealing with someone. He's definitely a pain in the head. I feel like having a hypertension of him! Although I'm too young right now to have hypertension, he's stressing me out!

Just so you know, according to the books I read, hypertension- also called high blood pressure -here we go again with my academic explanation. That means too much force is exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels. The pressure depends on the work being done by the heart and the resistance of the blood vessels that's why it can actually cause heart attack, stroke and other related problems.

Knock, knock.

Who is it this time?

"Lady Violet, your father has arrived. He's waiting in the living room." said a maid from outside my room.

My father has arrived? Hm, that's earlier than usual. He would usually come home by the end of each month. Anyway, he's a loving father that's why it got me excited when I heard that he's home.

I quickly went off my bed and rushed out of my room. I was practically running in the halls in my excitement. I am just a kid right now -With a 29-year-old mind and spirit in its tiny body... but I always craved for a parents' attention, my real parents were always busy you see.

I never enjoyed my childhood so I want to at least have a fun childhood in this dream, even if this is just a dream, having a memory of a fun childhood here... I can replace my past, right?

"Lady Violet! You should not run in the hallway!" My nanny scolded me when I passed her.

"Next time Nanny Yui!" I giggled as I continued running. I'm unstoppable.

I barged in the living room and my eyes quickly landed on my father.

"Daddy!" I exclaimed as I ran towards him.

When he saw me, his face brightened up and he bent down with open arms to catch me. "Here's my princess Brielle~"

My father would be the only person who calls me 'Brielle', and I don't mind it since I like hearing him say that too. I feel somewhat special as he calls me that way.

"Welcome home, daddy!" I smiled happily as he carried me in his arms.

"Did you miss me a lot?" he said with a wide grin as he kissed me on my cheek.

I nodded a few times as I reflected his grin. "I missed you soooo much! Did you bring me another blueberry cheesecake?"

"Of course I did! How could I forget your ten thousand reminders to me about that treat?" He laughed. "I suddenly felt like you're only excited to see me because of the cheesecake. Man, do I feel bad."

Well, that's technically true! Half the reason why I'm this excited is that of blueberry cheesecake~

Charles Austin Trancy is Violet's father. He is known to have a cold and strict personality toward others but it would melt whenever he's with his daughter. Well he could not dare be cold towards his cute daughter, right?

In the game, he is part of the Kingdoms military, something like a General? Ah... I can't remember correctly since I only scanned it with my eyes fast. Anyway, he is a powerful mage and he also works as a professor of Controlling Magic in Rosse Magical Academy.

In the original storyline, when he learned that his daughter died in every route, he would always go berserk and try to avenge her death; however, that became the source of his assassination, his death. Somehow I really feel sorry for him. He just really loved his daughter a lot.

On the other hand, he is also the reason why Violet grew up becoming a prideful bitch, sorry if I kept on describing her this way. He kept on spoiling her, sending her gifts even if he's far away. And since his wife died early, Violet had complete control of the mansion while he was off. Whenever Charles gets home, she would ignore him as if he was not her father. She grew up without him by her side that's why he can't blame her for that loss of interaction and awkwardness between her and himself.

Sometimes material pleasure is not that important to someone. A daughter simply wants her father around; to be prioritized. When you have it all, you lose sight for what's really important. In Violet's case, her father's presence is that essential, it will never be replaced by any expensive material she could possibly have. That's why I'm not going to allow that.

Whenever Charles comes home, I will make sure I could spend my time with him. I'm happy because he keeps on making up for the time he lost. That was a big deal, you know. He would read me books, help me bake some desserts in the kitchen, he would accompany me in my lessons and even be my dance partner. He is supportive enough to deserve mutual love.

Anyway, about the blueberry cheesecake, there was a time where my father arrived home and I can already speak a bit of word. Although it was gibberish, the thought can be understood. Before he was about to leave, he asked me if I want anything brought back next time he returns. Well, I never saw blueberry cheesecake served in the mansion that's why I asked if he can bring one for me because it was my favorite dessert.

Since then, whenever he comes back, he would bring the cake and additional gifts such as dresses and books for me. Well, I'm good with books but I don't really like dresses that much.

He also taught me some spells and magic; I can say that I'm pretty good at controlling it. I became a rank C fire magician because of my father's guidance and teachings. I later discovered that I can do healing magic as well. Maybe because doctors spirit is inside Violet's body?

Back to where we were, I turned my head and I suddenly noticed a handsome boy with black hair, blue eyes looking at me in surprise. The boy looked like he was around my age or maybe a year older?

He looks familiar. Where did I saw him?

"Daddy, who is he?"

My father suddenly looked like he remembered something important that's why he placed me down before he stood beside the boy, placing his hand on his shoulder. My father introduced him with a smile. "His name is Luke. He is two years older than you and from now on, he will be your big brother."

Something tinkled in me as I suddenly remembered who he was.

Luke Eliott Walker, the second capture character!
