"Cha, are you sick? I'm masakin' porridge, huh?"
"This is what I bought this shirt for you at tomorrow's seminar. You likey?"
"Cha, I cook your favorite. Go home, yeah!"
"Cha ... ."
All of Alissa's memories on earth are spilling over in her memory. The girl buried her face on the pillow that had been soaked by tears.
"Mas Dion .. is that really you, Mas .. I can see you again ... ."
Again, a white box appeared, hovering in the air right in front of the eyes. Alissa wiped away the tears, hoping that this time she was sure of what she saw. The white box is clear. There are a few sentences there. Alissa squinted her eyes, trying to read what was written.
...Mission:...
...Make the four key figures "Knight Lucius" live happily....
...Reward: Return to the original world....
Alissa's two eyes instantly opened. The box tells him the mission to do and the rewards he will get when he succeeds. Alissa shook her hand, trying to catch the white box. But no, the box was still in front of him. Alissa's hand couldn't hit it.
Whatisthis? The mission? I feel like I'm in a novel system game, where the main character gets a mission for a mission to achieve a certain goal. But ... I've never written game elements into my novel! And again, who are the four key figures?
Alissa wondered in her heart. He tried to remember everything he wrote in his novel.
The four key figures driving the "Knight of Lucius" are clearly Lucius and Rion. Alissa was between these two men. In the novel, Alissa loves Lucius. Meaning, if you follow the plot, Alissa and Lucius can be happy, but it will make Rion sad.
And again, the reward was to return to the original world. That means, most likely Rion is my true Mas Dion! I couldn't possibly be with Lucius when Mas Dion was clearly in front of my eyes!
Alissa thought hard. On the mission box are written four figures. Alissa scrunched her forehead. As he recalls, "Knight Lucius" is a struggle novel of a man named Lucius who ends up falling in love with Alissa and has to lose his love for King Rion. Only three of those people.
"Who are the four figures in question?" alissa asked, hoping to get an answer from the white box. One thing Alissa had read in the novel-themed system game, the mission box can be invited to interact. The box before him had no questions of accepting the mission or not. That means, must do Alissa if you want to return to the world of origin.
The white box fell silent, but the writing on it moved. There are four names there.
...Rion Ardinand's...
...Lucius Rainward's...
...Alisa Valcke's...
...Rica Ambers...
Alissa was amazed. He was already familiar with seeing the row of names from one to three, but he was astonished by the fourth name.
Rica Ambers? Rika ... Rika ... Ohhh!!"
Alissa's eyes were wide again. He remembered the fourth character. Obviously, if Alissa aka Masya the author had forgotten it. Rika Ambers is not in season one.
The book of the second season is no longer about revenge, but rather the unification of other royal territories. Until finally the Kingdom of Rainward became a large territory until it became an empire. Lucius became emperor. In the middle of his journey, Lucius meets a girl who succeeds in replacing Alissa in his heart. Her name is Rika Ambers.
Why did Masya forget to write Rika Ambers? That's because, Rika's story has not been written. Rika Ambers is a concept in her novel scheme. Rika has not been 'turned on' in the second book "Knight Lucius".
Is that right, what I mean is that Rika? Eighteen years passed, I had forgotten about the season two book scheme! How'this?!
Then, it means Lucius can be happy with Rika, right? If Alissa chose Rion, Lucius would not be sad because later he could meet Rika!
That means ... no one should die between the four of us, so that me and Mas Dion can return to our original world!
There was the sound of the door being knocked, blowing Alissa's daydream. Theo, Duchess, and Cass enter Alissa's unlocked room. The three of them approached the girl who was sitting on the bed.
"Darling, you just cried?" ask Duchess. With the Duchess sitting in front of Alissa, the white box of the mission disappeared. Apparently the mission's white box could go unseen if Alissa's concentration was split.
Alissa stared at her foster mother. The duchess hugged him, feeling guilty. "I'm sorry, I'm forced to give you up, so that we don't get wiped out by him ... ."
In the novel, the Duchess accidentally topples Alissa for Rion. Here, the Duchess did it too, though by force because there was no other way. The novel's plot remains in motion, but with different intentions.
"You can turn it down if you don't want to marry Rion" Theo said. "We can escape from this country to anywhere, to a place that is safe from its pursuit."
"But what about the people if we all leave? It could be worse if the citizens who are in Valcke's territory are directly led by Rion!" exciting Cass.
"Kalaj so, you three just leave, let me stay here. Cass, you can take care of Mom and Alissa by yourself, right?" ask Theo.
Cass surprised. "But, big brother, how could we possibly sacrifice you to face Rion alone!"
"Enough, you two!" shout Alissa. "Here you go, I don't have a problem getting married to Rion."
"But, Honey--"
"It's okay, Mom, I'll be fine. I promise to take care of myself ... ."
Escape from this kingdom will only worsen the existing groove. Alissa aka Masya also so could not complete the mission given. If indeed the four key figures must end happily, it means Alissa must remain in her marriage with Rion, then Lucius married Rika.
"You sure?" ask Theo again. His large, warm hand stroked the head of his adoptive sister with affection.
"Very sure, Brother ... You know for yourself, don't you, I'm not weak."
A circle of spells appeared next to Alissa, and her mystical Kyu creature leapt out. Now he's like a giant fox. His body was as big as a dire wolf. It was Kyu's last form of evolution. Kyu jumped up and surrounded Alissa cheerfully.
"Kyu is this big?!" Cass was surprised to see the change in the once small animal.
Theo approached Kyu, and patted his head. "May he take good care of you. Rion has a mystical creature that's also powerful, so Cass's Mirio and Sam can't do anything about it."
Rion also has a mystical creature? In the novel, Rion can call Cerberus. Is it the same here?
