In a world parallel lay hidden within pages. A novel perhaps by an author who wrote freely. The world within the novel pictures a heroine, the hurdles of her misfortunes in the beginning. The heroine named Lily, a delicate girl with soft features. Borne of a concubine within a Baron's estate, a lowly life form. Her fate was already determined, marry an old man arranged by the Baron. Her own father sold her to a man to satisfy his own greed of power and riches. But fate has it out for this world's heroine. She ran, fast as her feet could take. There she was found by a prince. Her life began to change after that. Showered by attention and adoration by three men. The prince of a Kingdom, a priest of the holy land, and a warrior-half beastman. The three fell for the heroine, protecting and sacrificing themselves. All in the midst of it stood Valaria, a noble Dukes daughter. She grew up with the three men, being their childhood sweetheart. But with the sudden appearance of Lily she no longer became their eye for adoration and praises. Valaria was cast aside, deemed as a villainess who wanted to harm Lily. She did no such thing but the three men were fed lies by Lily. Her sweet innocent demeanor was just an act. Lily never failed to gain the three men's attention, acting pitiful and weak in their eyes.

Intro

In the kingdom of Solaris there lived a heroine, her entourage, and a villainess. In such a novel the plot was simple. The heroine usually borne of lower birth gets mistreated then she runs away. Bumping into her entourage who pampers and protects her against a villainess who threatens her harm. That was it, the whole plot summed up. But who knew Guest would get swallowed up within that same novel they were reading?

The pages of the book erupted, pulling Guest inside the book. Then it closed shut with a thud. Guest fell into the novel, standing at the far back of an extravagant banquet.

The scene takes place in the beginning. A banquet was hosted upon Valaria's honor. A commotion drew from within the circle. Nobles whispering and gossiping amongst themselves. There stood the entourage; Vance, Luther, and Archon. They stood protectively in front of the heroine, Lily.

Lily stood behind the three men, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. Her beautiful gown of pink and pearls ruined. Stained by red, wine that Valaria was holding.

Archon Helios

"How could you do that to Lily? I knew you were jealous of her." His voice echoed across the grand halls, fists clenching white. Eyes bared with blatant hatred.
