《The Boy with the Beautiful Name》Unexpected
Advertisement
Intrigued, Sara got up out of her chair. She reached out her hand to touch the words on the fridge.
Suddenly, Erna was in front of her, beeping like crazy. "Is there something you need, Sara? I am here to help!"
Sara jumped, startled. Her back hit against the fridge. Various magnets fell to the floor. "Oh, I'm sorry," Sara said. Her heart rattled around in her chest. She took a breath to calm herself.
Sara quickly picked up the magnets and placed them back onto the fridge. When she searched for her name again, it seemed the magnets were now out of order. If her name had even been there, it was now gone.
Sara spun to face the android. For some reason, she actually wondered if Erna had planned to startle her on purpose. Had Erna known Sara's name was on the fridge? Sara shook her head. No, that was crazy, she decided. The android, or robot, it didn't actually think. Erna was programmed to help. So that's all she was doing. At least, that's what Sara decided.
Sara went and sat down in her chair again. She strummed her fingers on the shiny counter. She kept glancing back at the fridge, hoping to see her name reappear, spelled-out in the magnets again.
Her eyes flitted to Erna who now stood silently in her corner.
"Why does Bentley call you Erna?" she asked. She recalled asking this question previously but hadn't received a response.
Sara could hear the android's mechanical gears shifting around inside its silver, solid frame.
"I am named after one of his family members," Erna replied.
Sara lifted an eyebrow. "Oh, who?" she asked curiously.
The android's blue light eyes blinked. "I am not at liberty to convey that information," she said.

"I see," Sara said, feeling a bit deflated. The boy with the beautiful name sure had a lot of secrets. Not that it was any of her business to get answers from him or his androids, anyway. But still...it annoyed her that he was such a constant mystery.
"So, um, does Bentley live alone?" Sara asked. She felt that was a safe question.
Erna nodded her silver head. "Yes he does. His parents are in South Fortland."
"Oh!" Sara gasped. She hadn't realized he was all alone in the entire country.
Cleaning Robot rolled back into the kitchen. Sara had to move her chair out of the way so the robot could clean under the chair. Then it rolled off into the next room.
"How many robots are in this house?" Sara asked.
Erna cocked her head to the side, and snapped it back into place. "There are many kinds here, Sara."
"Oh, okay. Can I meet another one? Are there any more like you?" She didn't want to be nosy, but she was awfully curious.
Erna pressed a button on her shoulder.
Sara heard the sound of clicking against the marble floors. Soon, an android that looked almost exactly like Erna appeared in the kitchen.
This android had a masculine-looking face instead of a female face like Erna's.
"A visitor," the android said. He bowed. "Please, what are you called?"
Sara giggled. The android was almost handsome. Except that, of course, he wasn't alive.
"I am called Sara," she said, laughing.
"Nice to meet you, Sara," the android replied. "I am Mr. Prince's other personal assistant. I am called Jay." The android bowed.
Before Sara could say anything else, she heard another whirring noise. At first she thought it was Cleaning Robot returning. But the sound grew in intensity. Soon, it was practically a roar.

Frightened, Sara put her hands over her ears. She shouted to the androids. "WHAT'S THAT NOISE?"
Just then, a large dark object flew past the window.
Sara leaped out of her chair to see what it was. She had to tread carefully to not slip on the somewhat damp floor.
As she peered outside, she caught her breath.
A jet-black helicopter hovered in the air. It was very close to the house.
As she stared in awe, a figure pulled open the side door of the helicopter. To Sara's absolute shock, the figure leaped out into the open air. It did a few flips, and landed with a gigantic splash into the glittering pool.

The Emperor's Concubine
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The heroine is good and the villainess is evil. That was the absolute truth. That rule was undeniable as well as the fact that only the heroine would receive true love and her happy ending. Likewise, the malicious villainess would always suffer and leave the stage to clear the path for the perfect heroine in the end. So, for Blanche it felt like her world came crashing around her when she remembered the truth about her life. As the villainess in the typical romance novel “To Be Empress” she was fated to be condemned and abandoned by her lover. No matter how devoted she was to Theodore Estien, the emperor of Artias, she would only be the bratty concubine that would obstruct the heroine, who happened to be Theodore's lawful wife and the empress. In the end, the villainess would be deserted and executed. It was destined to happen like this, and yet she couldn't give up. She had to change the future. Preventing the romance between the main characters would get her killed. Much like trying to steer away from the enemies' intrigues, in which she was already caught up, would. But neither the heroine nor the emperor's political rivals would change the fact that Blanche loved the man that was supposed to be the heroine's. And no matter what happened she would always stay by her lover's side. So she wouldn't just follow the book's storyline and let her own doom arrive. Blanche would survive while trying to suppress all of the selfish desires that had made her the villainess. But was she truly fine with that? Did she not desire more than just surviving? Did she even have the right? Could the villainess ask for a happy end? Was she too brazen if she just wanted to stay with the man she loved and receive his affection? And wasn't there a bit more to this novel than she remembered? She didn't know and in the end that mattered little when the world around her changed with each day as more and more questions about the future and the past arose. "The Emperor's Concubine" will be updated thrice a week (usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) *The Profanity tag was added due to the characters' occasional swearing, which should not happen too often.
