Chapter 58: My Time [Kaya]


    [Kaya''s Perspective]


    Lovely, lovely me...


    I was hit by a speeding truck and transported to my favorite online novel: The Alluring Aria. The person


    I transmigrated as was the heroine of the said novel.


    The novel is about a femme fatale that captures all men in her grasp and eventually bes Queen


    after capturing all of the other male targets in a reverse harem ending.


    It is a big step up from my past life as a in and ugly middle-aged woman who did nothing but work


    seven days a week for minimum wage. In my original world, I was horrendously ugly with being fat and


    having e all over my face and never had a boyfriend in my life, but now I was a young beauty with a


    slim body and long ck hair that was like silk.


    I definitely drew the jackpot of reincarnations, so I thought that I might as well make a harem for myself


    since I acquired this new face and heroine status.


    However, things just do not seem to go my way...


    Every time I approached the male targets in the novel, they seemed wary of me and would always put


    me at a distance. If that was not all, the viiness Arielle is too different from the novel. She was


    supposed to be a cold and indifferent character who only cared about bing Queen and hated me


    for attracting the attention of her would be fiancé and other male targets.


    For some reason, she has not bullied me in the slightest and is apparently so loved by the people as


    well as all of the male targets. That is why I could only seduce second-rate men to follow me around.


    Despite having several men wait hand and feet on me, I am still beingpared to her.


    An eyesore!


    Anyone who is loved more than me is an eyesore!


    I was always being upstarted by everyone around me in my past life no matter what I have done.


    That is why I got rid of her at a difficult ce to leave from. There were three bridges to cross a great


    rift divide. One bridge was in good working condition that I used to transport her. Another bridge was in


    tatters and another bridge was already on the verge of snapping.


    After destroying the good bridge, she would probably rather take her chances on the bridge that is on


    the verge of snapping than take a path down a treacherous mountain. A normal Noble girl from a


    sheltered life probably does not have much knowledge on architectural design of bridges after all. As a


    result, she will fall to her death without me spilling blood on my hands.


    Closing loose ends feels wonderful!


    "Your Highness!"


    I carried around ca lilies in my hands and walked around the flower garden in search of him without


    his attendants.


    "You are Lady Ouchi?" he said.


    "Yes, I am so d that you remembered me!" I said happily.


    Prince Erik was my favorite character. When the online novel released an illustration of him, I fell in


    love. This person was so beautiful with his perfect xen blonde hair and shimmering emerald green


    eyes. On top of that all, he was a real Prince!


    "Are those ca lilies?"


    "I am so d that you noticed them, Your Highness. These are freshly picked ca lilies that I grew in


    my garden. Don''t you think they are very beautiful?"


    I did not really grow them. I hired people to take care of them because I know that these flowers are


    Prince Erik''s favorite.


    "...I do. They happen to be my favorite flowers," Prince Erik said.


    "What a coincidence! They are mine as well," I said.


    "Is there a reason why you like these flowers?" Prince Erik asked.


    "This flower is considered a symbol for resurrection and rebirth because it returns every year after


    winter. These flowers are sturdy as they are stunning and can withstand frosts and can regrow in cases


    after being cut, yet they have such short lifespans. I think it''s very beautiful in meaning," I said as I


    swept my hair over my ears.


    Prince Erik said these exact words in the novel! Of course, he would like someone like me if I am


    simr to him.


    "What a surprise...Lady Ouchi has lovely thoughts," Prince Erik said with a gentle smile.


    Strike!


    "Please call me Kaya. I am not used to being called by myst name so often," I said.


    "Then, Lady Kaya, I hope the the next chance for us speak longer arises," Prince Erik said as he


    slightly bowed his head.


    Iter received a beautiful opal ne with silver bordering and a white lily in the center.


    "Prince Erik sends his regards..."


    On top of the jewelry case was a beautiful light blue pewter heart pendant with silver bordering. The


    ne was a tad bit drab, but it had its antique elegance. Something like diamonds would have been


    much better, but who isining when I have received a present from Prince Erik!


    I quickly put on the ne and stared at myself in the mirror.


    I am pretty no matter what I wear!


    This youthful skin, long beautiful ebony hair, and hourss figure are all perfect. The only nuisance in


    my way has also been taken care of. It is only a matter of time before before Prince Erik is head over

    heels for me.


    I saw Prince Erik at the same ce again.


    This time he had an attendant with him. No matter...a slight inconvenience.


    I walked proudly around and unted my ne.


    "What a beautiful ne," Prince Erik said.


    I wish he would just call me beautiful and not the ne...


    "It is my favorite piece now. Would you care to have some tea together?" I suggested.


    "I would hate to subject you to poison testing," Prince Erik said.


    I shivered when I remembered back to when I slipped poison into Arielle''s tea, but quickly got over it


    because there is no way that anyone could point fingers at me since there was absolutely no evidence


    anywhere!


    "I would never!"


    Prince Erik smiled at me.


    "How about I have my attendant serve tea instead?"


    "That is a lovely idea..."


    The attendant poured me a clear ss teacup with some pink colored tea.


    Pink...


    "Is it not to your liking?" Prince Erik asked.


    "Huh...Ah, I am just not fond of the color pink," I said as I picked up the cup.


    "I always thought all youngdies liked pink," Prince Erik said as he crossed his legs and drank his tea.


    I really hate pink...


    It reminds me of that person.


    The tea was so nd to me that I could not remember the taste.


    The next day, the same servant gave me a matching bracelet to the ne.


    I have never been happier!


    Usually, when things feel as though they are going great, things tend toe crashing down...


    I took some time to myself to check the conditions of the bridges. All three bridges were demolished.


    One was eroded by weather and another was one that I destroyed. Thest bridge carried a lock of


    pink hair and a shredded piece of uniform.


    The viiness Arielle Maddox really fell to her doom!


    Iughed triumphantly to myself.


    It was all way too easy!


    I quickly went back to the Academy using a backroad and touched up on my makeup before seeing


    Prince Erik again.


    On my way back, I saw a girl withvender colored hair crying in the arms of a pretty brte.


    "Grace, she is still not back..." the girl said in tears. "Where could Arielle have gone?"


    How fun it is to know a secret!


    Ah, I feel like I am on cloud nine. I checked myself in my pocket mirror. My skin appeared even more


    youthful and luscious than before.


    Sucking on the happiness of other people makes me this more beautiful!
