I Screwed the Novel's Plot

In the end, I chose to go back to my chamber and took a quick bath. After I changed my clothes, I dismissed Fedel and the maids.

Leaned on the couch and lightly massaged my temples. I inhaled and exhaled slowly to clear my head. I grabbed the water goblet on the table and drank it.

'Guess, I have calmed myself down.'

Now that I had regained my rationally, I just realized how stupid I was. I meant, it was not like he was going to kill me the moment he saw me, right? From what I read, he wasn't the type of person who would kill people without reason.

Just like any other hero in every fantasy novel, he was someone who held onto justice. He was a kind-hearted person and of course, handsome--in short, he was a Gary Stu.

Yet, what I didn't understand was, why did he kill his half-brother? For someone who walked down the righteous path, wasn't it a little bit too much?

I didn't know the details because the author never explained how I died or how he killed me. But from this single line, I was so sure that the First Prince was the one who murdered me.

<strong>[...Alexander was the one responsible for Damian's death.]</strong>

Come to think of it, what was my role in the novel? Was I the villain? Or was I just an insignificant extra? If I was a villain, then it would be understandable if he killed me.

But, what did a 12-year-old Damian had done to be labeled as a villain that needed to be killed? If I was just an extra then why wasn't the First Prince banished from the Empire? I mean, killing an Imperial Family member counted as treason, didn't it? Or was it a plot hole?

A light knocked on the door made me glance at the source.

"Your Highness, it's the time."

Fedel's voice could be heard outside my chamber, I put the water goblet back on the table. I heaved out a long sigh before I rose and headed to the door.

'Regardless of what role I have in the novel, be it an extra or a villain, I don't care. Because I am the main character of my life.'

"Are you ready, Your Highness?"

"I am."

"Please, this way."

After a few minutes of walking, we arrived at the Blink Sphere's room. The guards' room immediately opened the door. I entered the room, followed by Fedel and the maids. A blue sphere the size of a globe framed with a golden baroque pattern floated in the middle of the room.

Blink Sphere--a product invented by the Arcanist Tower. It was a sort of device that would teleport us from one place to another. Every palace in Aeon Castle had one device at the minimum, so it enabled you to move around faster. Not only in the castle, but every big city in Chrono's Empire had these devices.

There were over hundreds of Blink Spheres placed within the Castle and each of them was connected. Although they were linking together, you couldn't teleport outside or inside the Castle using Blink Sphere from other cities or vice versa, because each place had one server called Supreme Blink Sphere. Simplicity, the devices worked like a Local Area Network.

Not only served as a server, but Supreme Blink Sphere was also a teleport device. Just like Blink Sphere that connected to each other, Supreme Blink Sphere had the same concept.

Overall, I loved this device, because I didn't have to waste my time by walking or riding a carriage to reach other Palace in the Castle. Even though the setting here was Middle Ages, somehow technology here had surpassed the Modern Ages.

They were indeed amazing, however, they still had flaws. Blink Sphere limited up to ten people for each transfer. So if there was an accident that required everyone to be evacuated immediately, these devices couldn't help pretty much.

Fedel moved closer to the Blink Sphere and activated it. The room shook and the ground glowed, emitting golden light. Not long after, the vibrations stopped and the light died down; which meant that we had arrived at our destination.

The Guards opened the door and we stepped outside. An exquisite scenery greeted us, yea, we definitely transferred into the Imperial Garden. A soft breeze passed past us and a strong rosy scent entered my nostrils. Well, this was the first time I set foot here.

"Your Highness, over there."

I glanced at the place where Fedel pointed and found the Empress. She was sitting under the wisteria trees. A round table and chairs had been prepared for the afternoon tea. I could see the maids and butlers arranging the refreshments on the table. As I arrived before her, I bowed lightly.

"I greet the Empress of the Chrono Empire."

"Oh my, such formality. You may rise." For more chapters, please visit

I straightened my back and met her tranquil face, she smiled graciously. She was undeniably beautiful as always.

"You can call me mother, Ian."

'How dare I? In front of so many people.'

"Come."

She wide opened her hands which made me taken aback. She definitely didn't ask me to hug her here, did she?

"You're not going to hug me?"

Damn.

"I--I'm an adult now! I'm six years old!"

'Arg! Damned this brain! Why won't it give me a more reasonable excuse!'

I did pray of having an affectionate mother, but now that the previous me had lived more than a decade, it somehow hurt my conscience.

"No matter how much you have grown, be it 30 years old, 50 years old, or even 70 years old, I will always be your mother and you will always be my son."

'Urg. Here comes her inarguable nag.'

Heaved a deep sigh. Guess, I had no choice. With my heavy heart, I hugged her and she embraced me.

My cheeks burned because of the embarrassment and decided to bury my face in her neck. I didn't know how many minutes passed, but finally, she released me. She looked me in the eyes and said whilst chuckling.

"So, what's up with your face?"

"Mom!"

I couldn't help but cover my face with both of my hands as she teased me. Oh, mom, please stop! I might die because of the embarrassment. She ignored my circumstances and laughed happily.

"Don't be shy. Let me take a good look at you."

Eventually, I lowered my hands and met her cyan eyes. Her smile never left her lips. She stroked my head and caressed my cheeks.

"I see you have grown a lot."

Well, I was indeed taller than my peers. She hugged me once more and then whispered in my ear.

"You have grown into such a fine man. I'm so proud of you!"

'Somebody! Please stop my mom! I can't take this embarrassment anymore!'

"Pardon me, Your Majesty, Her Highness the Consort has arrived."

Ah, finally! My torture had come to an end! The Empress did release me, but... there was something strange. My mother, her smile vanished and her face was devoid of any expression. This was the first time I saw her cold side. Was there something that I didn't know?

I eventually turned my head and found two people walking toward us. Both of them had black hair and coincidence or not, the boy's golden eyes met with mine. He stared at me with his cold and indifferent eyes--yes.

'He is the First Prince of the Chrono Empire. The main character of this world.'
