Chapter 16: Plan
After spending an entire day with her family Adeline collapsed on her bed. She remembered her plan of staying away from the Crown Prince and decided to stick to it. Sure, she said that they were friends but after contemplating for some time, she realised it was too risky.
After wracking her brain trying to remember the details of the other male leads she came to a conclusion. Everything is messed up!
Edward was just a trainee in the holy temple when the two met. The heroine didn't know that he had a twisted possessive personality. They went through hardships together, in a nutshell, he was the typical 'pretends to be gentle but twisted inside' male lead. He would act weak and pitiful in front of her but behind her back, he cooked up numerous schemes.
Next is Dimitri, in the novel he is a powerful figure who is cold to everyone but is soft only to the heroine. Her kind and resilient nature moved him. He was an orphan shunned by everyone before he climbed to the highest ranks of the mage tower. He would secretly donate to orphanages and take in kids who were struggling. On one such visit, they met each other.
'Of course, everything is just convenient.' She tossed and turned on her bed. Out of the four male leads, the only one remotely sane was Dimitri. He wasn't some character with a twisted personality, he was cold to everyone else, sure, but he wasn't crazy!
Plus, he was a very powerful mage. Adeline set her sights on him. What if she brought him over to her side? Trying to maintain a relationship with any of the other male leads would be insane, that was she concluded.
Now begs the question, how should she find him? She was just a five-year-old, she needed to find a reason to go to the bad parts of the town where poor Dimitri was struggling to make ends meet.
Dimitri only entered the mage tower much later. That was why when he climbed up the ranks at such a fast pace, he earned the envy of many.
After letting out a big yawn she decided that she would cook up a plan the first thing in the morning. But she didn't expect that she would be summoned by the Empress yet again.
