The gray sky was clearing; it looked like it was the perfect day for a wedding. For another wedding, but not mine
Now I'm at a crossroads in life because I know this is not love, just a fleeting step, and my life will end. Maybe in the worst case, I will be killed by my husband.
My eyes are green and my hair red. I didn't recognize this as mine. I'm not the person I was. Now I'm Someone different, someone who I recognize, but it's not me.
Now I am Adelfa von Newhousen, a third character in one of my favorite novels "This Time I Will Decide" An internet novel where the protagonist, Philotea, falls in love with the terrible Duke of the North, Lucien de Caronte, a young adult who is conquistador of the land of the north. Even if he is only 23 years old, he has a rich and powerful background, Who won a civil war and an overthrow.
And now, I pass to be Adelfa, just a character who dies in the first chapter, just to prove how bad Lucien can be
I was raptured and sold by a white merchant, and my husband let me die. Or that's what the people say, in history never tell about my future, I can not know how I will end.
"...dy"
"..."
"Lady Adelfa"
"Ah... im sorry"
I entrusted my vision to Mary, my servant. With brown hair and warm brown eyes, she resembles how I looked in my past life. She is also very gentle with me.
"Do you like it?"
"Ah... yes, thanks."
I said smiling
I have no idea what she was talking about, I played innocent, and I nodded.
"Great! Now..."
Says Mary while she opens the door
"Now..?"
"It's time, my lady. The duke is going to come."
"What...?, Now?"
"Of course, look at you, you are ready."
I saw myself in the mirror and I just looked at how my wedding dress was. A Victorian dress with a high lace collar, puffed sleeves, a fitted corset bodice, and a full floor-length skirt made of ivory satin. Delicate embroidery and pearl details add elegance, while a long lace veil cascades down the back.
-- I was so lost in my thoughts that I forgot what time it is-- I sighed inwardly.
"Now I just have to wait?"
Mary nodded
I was nervous, not just because I was going to get married, it's because I could die in a few seconds. First, we marry each other. Then, in the carriage, bandits are going to kidnap me, and for a reason, I end up dead.
"Mary"
I turned around to look at her. I do not know what face I put on, but Mary was scared.
"Lady...?"
"It... nothing"
--If for some reason I die... -- I couldn't say that, if I don't die it would be rare
"...?"
--I know I can change my future. Maybe I can open a library and live a normal life--
I took a deep breath, my heart pounding like a drum.
This was supposed to be the day I died.
The heavy door creaked open, and footsteps echoed down the hallway.
"Lady Adelfa," Mary whispered, her eyes wide.
I turned toward the sound, the weight of the unknown pressing down on me.
Maybe this time, I won't be just a forgotten character.
Maybe this time, I will decide my fate.
