Episode 4

Jennifer did not notice the change of interest rate of the second target though.

She looked around the hall. She didn’t even know how she went there. So, how can she get back? She has been walking around for half an hour but she can’t even see a shadow.

【SYSTEM MESSAGE】

【Target 2 meeting has been accomplished .

Special tool: Beauty. This special tool will allow you to improve your skin condition and also your body size. You just have to purchase it using the coins that you can obtain through bonus mission. Do you wish to obtain this special tool? Current coins: 0】

《YES》《NO》

‘That guy..he is the second target? Psh.. This system wants me to create my own face with pimples before and now they want to give me a chance to change in to a beauty? Whatever. I should accept this tool and see if it will benefit me in the future'

Out of nowhere, a voice brought her back into reality.

“Good evening Miss, are you lost…like me?” he laughed and scratched the back of his neck shyly

Jennifer looked up at the space above his head to see if there is any interest rating on it.

‘No rating. Not a target perhaps?’

“Glad to meet you Sir. You are right. I am lost too.” She pouted

‘Cute’ he thought

“Then, would you like to take a walk around until someone come to the rescue?”

‘If he is not a target, then it wouldn’t be a problem even if I reject right? I am going to do whatever I want with him

then’

“Sorry. My parents told me not to follow strangers” she bowed her head in apology and turned to leave.

“…..” he whispered

“what?”

“Kyle”

“huh?”

“Yours?”

“What was it? I don’t get it at all”

“Your name”

She was battling with her inner self whether she should give this guy her name or not because he seems like a good

guy but he is not a target, so she didn’t want to waste her time on him. The only things she wished for right now is a comfortable bed to sleep. Then she thought of an idea.

“Mia”

It’s the name of one of her friends. She couldn’t think of any name in the meantime so she simply chose it so she could leave the place right away.

‘Mia..that name suits her cute character though’ he smiled

Jennifer looked at him weirdly.

“Is my name that funny?”

She hoped that she didn’t chose a name that has a different meaning in this world

‘Mia is not a funny thing in this world right?’

“Nope.. Not at all. I just thought that you look cute just like your name” he winked at her

“Nahh.. It’s just a common name. I should get going before it gets dark”

“No wait.. We are not strangers anymore aren’t we? Then we should just walk back together”

“But we both don’t know the way to go back? And who are you? Where did your come from?”

“Ahh..haha..I-I-I uhmm.. I am a knight. Yes, a knight. I am from the royal palace.” he laughed nervously

‘I hope she won’t find out that I am lying. I am afraid she will run away if she know who I am’

“Oh well.. You don’t look like a knight though. But I guess we can’t judge anyone by their look” she shrugged as she scanned him up and down

“Then, may I know who are you serving Miss?”

“Oh that..uhm.. I am a maid in Sir Owen’s mansion”

“Are you sure?” he chuckled

“Yeah..of course. I am a maid”

“I didn’t know that Sir Owen treat their maid so well. I am quite surprised though” he laughed

“Huh? What do you mean Mr. Knight?”

“It’s just that, it’s my first time seeing a maid dressed up in an expensive dress and got lost on their way back to the

mansion.”

Jennifer stunned.

‘Shi. I talked without even thinking how could a maid forgot their way back to the mansion’*

“I am dressed up in expensive clothes because my master wants me to help her do something and I forgot the way back to the mansion because I am a new maid here. So, I am not familiar with this place yet.”

“So, you are new here then?”

“Yes”

“Then we should get going. Come with me. You wouldn’t want to get fired by your master don’t you?”

Then, they walk side by side. The back of their hands keep rubbing each other. Kyle looked away blushing lightly and pretend like nothing happened. On the other hand, Jennifer keeps thinking of a way to get back to the mansion faster. She didn’t want to walk with him even though this guy is handsome as hell. She has to admit the fact that this guy really know how to flirt. She also noticed that the back of their hands keep touching but she is not a shy girl. She has done plenty of adult things in her previous world. So, how could a mere hand touch make her blush like the male beside of her?

“You know you look like someone”

“Who?”

“My future wife” he smiled innocently at her.

‘And here I thought pickup lines are only used in modern days’

“And you know who you look like?”

“Your future husband?”

“No. Someone closer”

“Your brother?”

“Nope”

“Your father?”

“Nope”

“Then, may this pretty lady tell me who I looked like?

“You look like my pet” she laughed

‘I have to deal with Yuri and the other two target at the same time that I don’t even know when the next target will

appear. I don’t even want to think about another guy crushing on me and flirt with me. I hope he will stop pestering me so that I could just finish this up and leave here as soon as possible.. ughhh’

“Are you actually playing hard to get?” he replied back

“Why would I do that?”

“Because you want to get my attention?”

“Why would I want your attention?”

“Because you like me?”

“Kyle right? I just want to tell you that I have zero interest in dating guys like you. So, stop flirting with me unless you want me to kick you balls and make you regret so much that you met me.”

“What do you mean guys like me?” his expression changed in to a serious look. His smiley face was no longer shown.

“Guys that are confident about that looks even if you look unattractive to me. You carry your sword around but I bet you can’t even wield your sword if enemy comes. You are weak. And you spent most of your time here, neglecting your duty and even get lost.”

Jennifer said and smiled before turning away and run.

Of course everything she said was quite the opposite of what she mentioned. He looks so handsome that she could just kiss him there and pounce on him. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. His body is to die for. Not too muscular nor too skinny. If this wasn’t a game, she might have made him hers and keep him away from all the girls. Anyway, she just wanted to focus on the game. Unrelated characters should just be treated as Non-Player Character (NPC). That’s what she thought.

After she left, he didn’t chase her anymore.

‘So, that’s what you thought? I will prove you wrong. Completely wrong’

He walked away with his heavy feet back to the mansion. He didn’t forget the way back to the mansion. In fact, he knew very well how this place is constructed. He just want to spend more time with her. But he didn’t expect that it would turn out this way. He actually thought she was quite cute even though there are some pimples on her face. But why did she treat him that way? Is it because she feel that he is a knight so she didn’t want to be seen? Or because he is too straightforward? He didn’t know what to do and how to find her after this but he has already set a target for himself to capture the girl’s heart.

“Your Highness. Where did you go?”

“Just wandering around the garden. What happened?”

“Princess Yuri has requested for you to meet her as soon as you go back to the royal palace”

“What has she done this time?”

“Your Highness. It is said that Princess Yuri has a fight with Miss Jennifer”

“Jennifer?”

“Yes Your Highness. Miss Jennifer is from Owen’s mansion. She becomes Duke Damien’s girlfriend after you left for war and this made the Princess Yuri sad. So, she always tagged along but according to Princess Yuri, she said that Miss Jennifer did not like her at all. She mentioned that Miss Jennifer has called her a bit*h previously and today she made everyone stop calling the princess beautiful.”

“This Jennifer is quite daring huh. I would like to meet her someday. But now, I have to increase my training practice. Could you help me get prepare?”

“Yes You Highness. But, isn’t it too tired for you to practice right away? You just came back from a war. You should take a rest before continuing the training or else it may harm your body and health.”

“Not right now. Someone told me that I look so weak that I am not able to wield a sword when the enemy comes”

“That person should be killed immediately for disrespecting you, Your Highness”

“No. That’s not necessary. She didn’t know that I am the Emperor”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Max!” she called out.

Then, she heard the sound of rustling bushes. She guessed that’s where he will come from so she anticipated his

entrance. Max jumped on her and attacked her by licking her nose non-stop.

“Wait. Max! I need information” she pulled away from him and sat him on her lap

“What do you need?”

“Do you know how I can get back to the mansion?”

“I can take you back there if you need. Follow me”

He started walking in front of her and she quickly follow up because she didn’t want to be left alone again. When they reached her room, she sighed in relief.

‘Finally’ she thought and hurriedly lay herself on the bed.

Max followed and sat beside her.

“What happen with you and the second target?”

“What do you mean what happen?”

“His interest rate was increased to 5% at first but then keep dropping until it become -5 now”

“Huh? How come?”

“Yes. That’s what the system says here”

“But when I met him. I didn’t even know he is a target”

“Can I check the interest rate of all the target?”

“Yes”

Max pressed somewhere around his stomach and the system information popped out.

【TARGET INTEREST】

《TARGET 1 > 15%》

《TARGET 2 > -5% 》

Remaining Target to unlock: 10

“Max, do you think I can check what happened to the second target?” she asked worriedly

“No. If you can check, then I wouldn’t have asked you would I?”

“Right. Make sense. But do you know who the second target is?”

“No. I am not allowed to because you can acquire the information when the target interest reached 10%”

“Ahh..I forgot about that. Then I have to pay more attention to this second target. He wouldn’t kill me right?”

“That’s a hard assumption. When the target’s interest reached a negative rate of 20%, they will probably kill you”

“What?! Are you seriously telling me that the target can kill me if they want?”

“Yes. They probably will if you do something rash”

“I thought I will only die if there is some accident of when someone poison me to death?”

“Well. In this case, it is highly recommended that you ensure that all the target and even side character do not

kill you. As the system mentioned before, when you get kill in game. You will also not be able to go back to your world and remain as a dead person.”

“Fine. I get it now. I have to clean myself up and go to sleep now”

“Remember what I said” with that, Max left the room.

‘Ahhh…what do I do now.’
