The Author And Her Protagonist

“Ah, the air here is the nicest!” Cheryl exclaimed, comparing it to the air quality in her own world.

It’s been seven days since she was transferred. Cheryl had calmed down a little and began to adapt. Claudia, like Claudia’s predicament, began to grasp a little.

This year, Princess Claudia turns eighteen. She lived alone in a modest apartment not far from the main palace. There were no servants in the house, so Claudia had to take care of everything herself, including cooking and laundry. She had to go alone to the well and the palace shed to get water and firewood. Claudia received no assistance.

Even if the maids were bored, they would simply stare for a while before continuing to relax. They used to amuse themselves by threatening Claudia.

Cheryl does not record these information in the novel. Princess Claudia was not well liked by the king, she only hinted. Cheryl felt terrible as soon as she saw firsthand what Claudia’s life was like.

It’s the same today. Two maids who were speaking stood up and blocked the door as Cheryl moved into the palace kitchen.

“What are you doing here?” inquired one of the maids, arrogantly.

Cheryl locked her gaze on them. “I’m in the kitchen, so of course I’m hungry.”

The two maids were taken aback. They reacted quickly when they saw Cheryl attempting to barge in.

“Without permission, you cannot enter. Now is the time to leave.” One of the maids became enraged. She snatched Cheryl’s arm firmly.

This, however, was Cheryl, not Claudia. She slapped the maid because she was not a patient person.

The maid who had been slapped was taken aback. She locked her gaze on Cheryl.

Cheryl dashed back to Claudia’s house before the two maids went crazy and caused a ruckus.

Cheryl returned to the room. She took a seat on the bed. She believed it would be tough for her to survive in this world. Unless she sneaked out of the palace. Another issue is that she lacks any skills other than writing.

Cheryl has published numerous novels in her world. The Phoenix and The Dragon are the most latest.

The work is about a sad love affair between a general and a princess, rather than mythology. A difficult fight was won by the general, who was also a Marquess. The king was ecstatic, and he planned a lavish supper to celebrate the general’s victory.

But, despite his outward smile, the king was deeply dissatisfied in his heart. The king saw that the rival party’s might was growing, and that this could jeopardize his throne.

The king devised a strategy after learning that the general was secretly in love with his daughter. He offered that the general and the third princess marry. The general nodded enthusiastically because the third princess was his favorite. The commander was caught off surprise by his happiness. The king is carrying out his plan in secrecy, with the goal of eliminating the general.

The general survived, but his body was permanently scarred. His legs were paralyzed, and he had a scar on his face. The king then broke the general’s engagement unilaterally and married the third princess to a prince from another kingdom. The general, who adored the third princess, dispatched messengers to convince her to decline to marry a prince from another kingdom. The general stated that he would go to any length to protect the princess.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

The princess, however, did not just refuse. She further mocked the general, claiming that she didn’t want to be with a disabled man.

The general was enraged by the treatment. From then on, he despised the royal family. He was able to recuperate despite his wealth and connections. Then he started plotting a rebellion.

Cheryl’s novel comes to a conclusion here. The story is entertaining enough. Many readers enjoyed it, while some were critical of it since, aside from the tragic premise, the story’s content did not match the title. Cheryl usually ignores it and moves on to the next story.

Cheryl, however, met with a grave disaster. Claudia, the insignificant and ignored princess, had somehow transmigrated into the world of The Phoenix And The Dragon.

The general would return about this time, and the king would host a banquet. Cheryl, who played the neglected princess Claudia, had no involvement in the banquet. She also failed to record whether or not the uninvited princess had been invited to the banquet.

The difficulty was that Claudia was also killed on the day of the slaughter. Cheryl was plagued by the crime scene even before she was transmigrated.

So she chose to check outside the palace today, intending to flee. She reasoned that because Claudia was a neglected princess, her escape plan would be simple. She recently realized, however, that the social order in this universe is identical to that in her own. People have recently found it difficult to live without a distinct identity.

Cheryl prepared herself. She donned whatever she could find in Claudia’s closet, without giving it much attention. She rummaged in Claudia’s cash box and came away with some silver coins.

Cheryl took a leisurely stroll through the streets after successfully past the guard at the palace’s back entrance. She got two steamed buns from the bakery and ate them on the way.

Today’s streets are quite congested. The street was becoming increasingly crowded. Owners of houses or shops along the roadside employ bright colors to decorate their establishments. Cheryl was taken aback by how lively the crowd was. Cheryl would have forgotten that today was the day the general returned if it weren’t for the distant trumpets and drums.

Although the parade was still a long way off, the crowds along the route were already ecstatic. Cheryl was even shoved between two groups of girls. They all dressed up and put on makeup in the hopes of catching the notice of passing generals. Cheryl scowled at the excited girls.

“Girls, you wasted your time. Someone else already has the general’s heart.”

Cheryl muttered aloud unconsciously. The girl standing near her appeared to be paying attention to what she was saying. She inquired vehemently.

“What are you trying to say?”

Cheryl replied subconsciously, “Eh, nothing…” Cheryl chose not to say anything else because the female next to her appeared irritated.

The procession crew approached him slowly. Several brave warriors led the way, followed by drummers and trumpeters. Several of the army’s top brass were mounted in the third row.

Cheryl quickly recognized one of the riders among the many. Cheryl began to shake as soon as she saw his face. He’s there! In a dream, the demon general killed her!

The girls were ecstatic right away. They threw flowers and handkerchiefs with their names stitched on them at the demonstrators. They shouted even louder for the generals to hear.

Edgar couldn’t just ignore the harsh and obnoxious voices. He is, however, used to being in circumstances where girls approach him in a variety of ways. He smiled as he turned to the gathering of girls on the side of the road. He could see the young girls’ admiring emotions on their faces right away. He scowled, though, when his attention fell on the girl who was pressed against the rear of the group. The girl appeared slender and innocent, holding a steamed bun in her hands and looking at himself with a fearful expression on her face.

Edgar assumed the girl was terrified of the intimidating Great General standing next to him. As a result, he decided to put on a cute smile for the girl to see. Who’d have guessed that when she saw his smile, the girl became even more terrified.

Cheryl nervously lowered her gaze quickly. Cheryl dashed away from the tussling group of girls and entered a random shop.

When Edgar saw Cheryl’s reaction, he couldn’t help but touch his own face, wondering aloud, ‘Is my face that bad?’
