Chapter 106: 1DAYS. (1)

──────

"Still, my lady."

"What is it?"

"Let's just lose our minds and take a vacation for exactly ten days."

I suggested.

"Who has lived as diligently as you, my lady? You've done your best both publicly and privately. So for the next ten days, let's set aside everything serious and rapidly use our return skills over and over..."

"Enjoy a pastime that ordinary people can't?"

"Precisely."

"Hmm."

Lady Silver Lily was calm.

"Even if we create a mess, no one will remember after we return to the day before, so it won't be a loss for us."

"Lady Silver Lily, you understand my words so well."

"Aren't we playing a bit irresponsibly?"

"Let's be irresponsible for once."

"Hmm. I seem to have taken a very bad man as my lover..."

"Ten days, deal?"

Lady Silver Lily took out her fan and fanned herself.

"Ten days seem too short, let's make it fifteen."

"Deal."

We played as if venting all our resentment over our past lives.

Sormewin Academy is near the capital. Just a short carriage ride away, there are dazzling entertainments. And my love is the most prominent successor of the most prominent noble family in the empire.

"Which seats would you like?"

Simply put, power and wealth were overflowing.

She is the most prominent lady in the world.

To the polite theatre staff, Lady Silver Lily bluntly said,

"I will hire the troupe for the day."

"Excuse me?"

"I said I would buy the troupe's services for the entire day. Did you not understand? Must I say it three times before it reaches your ears? Is making someone repeat the same words three times how this troupe practices its acting?"

"N-no! My apologies! I will ask the troupe's director immediately!"

Theatre and opera day rentals were standard.

"Gong-Ja, there's something I've always wanted to try."

"What is it?"

"Hiring six theatre companies at the same time."

Lady Silver Lily's tone was calm. But I knew she was having fun like a mischievous child.

"And have them perform simultaneously on a giant stage. Three plays will be tragedies, two comedies, and one opera."

"Uh, won't that just be chaos?"

"Exactly. I want to see chaos."

"Then let's watch."

We summoned the six most expensive theatre companies in the capital. Not one troupe director failed to grovel when summoned by the legitimate daughter of House Ivansia.

What? Will this outrage lower the reputation and honor of the Ivansia family? It's okay. We are a couple of returnees. Play for a day and return, that's all. What can they do?

"Ah, what a tremendous chaos. I wanted to see this..."

My beloved fanned herself contentedly,

"Phwoohahahahak!!"

And I rolled around laughing.

Serious tragic lines became hilarious next to comedians performing comedies. With six plays performed simultaneously, even the most solemn lines seemed funny. The actors sweated throughout the runtime.

"Let's sweep the casinos in the capital!"

"Excellent idea. Accepted."

We, as a couple, headed to an exclusive noble casino. It was a place where people wore masks like a masquerade ball to hide their identities. But who is my beloved? No noble could fail to recognize her moonlight-flowing silver hair.

"Call."

"C-call."

When Lady Silver Lily said to call, the opponents would shrink back and call.

"Die."

"F-fold."

When Lady Silver Lily said to die, the opponents would obediently lay down their cards.

"Raise the bet."

"R-raise..."

"Raise it higher."

"R-reraise..."

The bet kept rising as she commanded.

"All in. Everyone."

"All... in..."

It was a miracle akin to the parting of the Red Sea in the luxurious casino. I decided to establish the [Lily Religion] for our beloved and write the casino scene as the first verse of its holy text.

Ah, how beautiful is the villainess lady, bringing ruin for her own pleasure.

"This is tyranny!"

After about sixteen nobles cried while offering their diamond rings and necklaces to us, the casino owner rushed over in a hurry. He was a man with a Kaiser mustache.

"Even if you are a lady of your standing, you cannot behave this way in my establishment..."

"Oh? Do you know who I am? Curious. I heard this place strictly hides the identity of customers and even if they recognize someone, they keep silent as a virtue and rule. It seems I was misinformed."

"No, no! Of course, I don't know... but..."

"How dare you not know who I am? Do you wish for your head to fly off?"

"......"

The casino owner opened and closed his mouth wordlessly. He was a noble too, but his pedigree was in an entirely different league. Less than a minute after rushing over, he was sunk.

"Ah, look at this man. You dare not answer Lady's question!"

For the record, I was pressed close to Lady Silver Lily's side, hovering around her like a sycophant as I shouted at him. It was wonderfully warm beside my lover.

"Do you take my lady's question for a joke? Do you mean to wag that three-inch tongue of yours and insult her house?"

"No, no! Of course not. I just... please show a little more consideration for my small business..."

"Ah, Lady, this won't do. His arrogance reaches the heavens. You should decapitate him for disrespect!"

"Eek?!"

Lady Silver Lily casually fanned herself.

"It's fine. Although Baron Rebe secretly built a drug lab in the basement and is distributing illegal drugs throughout the capital, should I just decapitate him for that?"

Twitch.

The Kaiser mustache man shuddered. He doubted if he heard correctly. Soon his face turned pale. He was genuinely shocked.

"What... what are you talking about..."

"Sit down."

"......"

"Sit there and play ten rounds with me, then I'll let you off for tonight."

Eventually, we wiped the casino owner's wallet clean. We scattered mountains of gold coins and jewels on the streets of the empire.

It was like a dream.

Days of deceptive dreams, yet beautiful dreams.

We did whatever we wanted, played as we wished. We rented the most luxurious accommodation in the capital and indulged in a lavish room. I grabbed Lady Silver Lily and jumped onto an enormous bed.

"Hmm."

The first day.

Lady Silver Lily's eyes lifted at the corners.

"Hmm,"

The second day.

The corners of Lady Silver Lily's mouth curled upward.

"...Aha."

By the third day, Lady Silver Lily smiled. Not a sneer, but a smile of pure joy. My lover's smile was as pure as a child learning to smile for the first time.

"Gong-Ja."

Lady Silver Lily buried her face in my chest.

"Are you happy?"

“You exist in this world. That's why I can live a little longer.”

I became happy.

The minimum unit for a person to be happy was two.

“Starting today, I’ll write a diary.”

“For me to see?”

“There’s someone among my colleagues who’s good with instruments. I’ll learn music from them.”

“To play for me, I see.”

“I will survive no matter what.”

One day, I bribed the guards and yelled at them, clearing the busiest street in the capital for an hour. Just the two of us rented out the whole place.

One day, I showed up at the palace and said everything that should and shouldn’t be said in front of the Emperor. When Lady Silver Lily said, “Please take good care of your son, Your Majesty. There's no bigger scoundrel than him,” the Emperor nearly slipped off the throne. “Your Majesty?!” The surrounding officials were in an uproar.

One day. And then another.

We treated time like a holiday destination and traveled.

‘It’s just like a honeymoon.’

I didn't say it out loud, as even thinking it made my face hot. But I believed Lady Silver Lily must have been thinking the same.

On the last day.

"......."

On the last day, we didn’t go anywhere.

We just sat side by side at the fountain in the capital's square. From noon until evening.

Holding hands, we silently watched the shadows of countless people passing through the square. A newsboy hurried through the alley between the fruit store and the tavern.

“We did something really bad, didn’t we?”

After half a day, the Lady spoke.

“Yes. We’re such wicked bastards.”

I gripped her hand tightly.

A trip was not for those already in love, but to fall deeper in love. Now, after repeating a day for half a month, I found myself loving her more. And I wanted to love her even more.

“Though only the two of us know about it.”

“We’re partners in crime.”

A soft laugh.

[Immersion into your character is intensifying.]

[Your immersion rate is currently 81%.]

That was my proof of happiness.

“Raviel. Do you remember what I told you in the carriage?”

“I remember every word you said to me.”

“When I ask you to trust me, please do.”

“Of course.”

“Please keep that promise.”

Lady Silver Lily looked at me.

“It seems you’re plotting something suspicious, Gong-Ja. It would be better for your heart to confess willingly.”

“From now on, I’ll raise my immersion rate to 99%.”

"......."

During our day of traveling, Lady Silver Lily and I shared many stories. So many stories. About the world I came from, what [Revelations] and [Immersion Rate] are. Lady Silver Lily learned all this from me.

“I need to become almost entirely the butler. I have to become someone born and raised in this world.”

“Why is that?”

“I cannot tell you the reason.”

Lady Silver Lily rested her chin on her hand.

“……If you can’t even tell me, it means this strategy can only succeed if you alone know it in your heart.”

“Indeed."

“The reason you’re telling me this now is that you have a favor to ask of me, correct?”

“That’s right.”

Lady Silver Lily sighed deeply, as if she had been tricked.

“……You’ve been planning for this moment from the start with your [trust me] promise. You’re more cunning than you look. I should have been more cautious and listened to you more carefully. What do you need me to do?”

It was time to execute the plan.

First, I went back to [the first day], the starting point of this stage, when the ball began.

We hurriedly left the ballroom and went to Lady Silver Lily's residence.

“First, please tie my hands and feet tightly to the chair.”

Lady Silver Lily's expression became complicated.

“Gong-Ja, I think it’s too early for us to move into that territory…”

“I don't know what you're imagining, my lady, and I probably shouldn't know, but I'm extremely satisfied with my life right now, so please don't worry.”

“I promised to trust you, so I have no choice but to believe…”

Lady Silver Lily firmly tied me to the chair.

I tried moving my limbs as a test, but they didn't budge.

This should be safe enough.

-Hey, Kim ■-bi. What are you doing? I'm slightly worried.

[Shiny is concerned about the H■ro's actions.]

My immersion rate had already exceeded 80%.

I think, perhaps the original owner of this body, the ‘butler’, harbored feelings not just for Lady Goldencup but also for Lady Silver Lily. An unattainable love for either side. The butler must have silently closed off his heart.

The Crown Prince was two-timing Lady Silver Lily and Lady Goldencup. Lady Goldencup was two-timing the Crown Prince and the butler. The butler was two-timing Lady Silver Lily and Lady Goldencup. Now, Lady Silver Lily was two-timing the Crown Prince and me.

‘What a shitty romance.’

But.

‘Thank you.’

Right now, I was only grateful to the butler who also harbored feelings for Lady Silver Lily.

Thanks to him, I was able to devise this plan.

I steeled myself.

“Please bring a mirror in front of me.”

“Hmm.”

Lady Silver Lily had the servants move a large mirror in front of me. My image, tightly bound to the chair and unable to move, was reflected in the mirror.

“Character Window.”

The characters slid across the mirror surface.

The text continued below.

Almost everything about me.

While keeping the character window in front of me, I looked up at Lady Silver Lily.

"Raviel.”

"I’m listening.”

"From now on, please kiss me over and over, so that I will like you even more, Raviel.”

"Is being kissed while tied up your preference? If you had told me sooner, I might have considered it.”

"At some point, I will no longer remain as [me].”

"......."

When the immersion rate exceeds 90% and approaches 100%.

When I saw the Heretic Inquisitor, completely immersed in Lady Goldencup, yet still with [hair] growing after transforming into her, I realized.

That's it.
