《Reincarnated into the Otome Game as the Princess Villainess?!》Twenty-nine: The secret luxury dungeon
Advertisement
Eshai's brother just looked at me shocked.
"What? Never had a pretty lady talk back to your sorry arse before? How pathetic!"
His face turned a bright tomato red and he pointed a slender and long shaking finger in my direction. I internally laughed.
"Y--You rogue! How dare a lowly person like you speak to me—the great and mighty King of Erlia—this way!" I stuck my tongue out at him, secretly raising my middle finger.
Eli glared and I just grinned smugly before continuing: "Great and mighty King? Who gives two shits! I will get a broom and whoop your behind into shape like your mama should have done before! You have no right to tell me what to do, stupid horse-face! I'm also a princess that you are disrespecting, you absolute twat!"
Flipping my hair over my shoulder, I waltzed out of the room and away from the angry royal and laughing one.

I think I'm lost...
Wait no, I know I'm lost.
All I see are walls.
And more walls.
And more...
And more...
More walls...
Pause again.
Now that I think about it, where are all the maids? Why is no one around? Where am I in the first place? AM I IN A SECRET LUXURY DUNGEON? JESUS, IF YOU EXIST PLEASE COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO SAVE MY POOR, INNOCENT AND PURE SOUL!
But most importantly, where is the food. There's no food. There's no hope. My short life is already over, even earlier than my old one on Earth.
Wait...
I just realised something.
I'm already in my thirties if I include this life and my last.
I am so old right now.
Yet I still remain the king of lonely souls amongst lonely souls.
Why is it always me?

I feel like it's been years since I entered these halls. The only magic I had used was my creation and water and even that was just to provide food and drink to survive. It also drained a lot of mana because a) creation magic is a little poo and likes to take it all while b) I had to extract moisture droplets out of the air to create a glass of water as to quench my thirst. It wasn't the best time if I do say so myself.
The longer I was here, the colder I felt this place was getting. Maybe I was getting closer to somewhere? Whatever it was, it was very cold.
Like very cold. Very very cold. Freezing cold. Astronomically cold. Colder than the ice-age cold. Colder than Captian America's ice cold. Vanilla Ice cold even.
Yeah.
It was that cold.
And how cold was Vanilla Ice cold? It was the coldest thing on the planet and probably even the universe.
I should stop.
I think I'm going crazy.
This is what happens when there is no human interaction between myself and others.
'You do know I exist?' Well nah shoot Sherlock, I thought you were as non-existent as the women around me.
I knew Arty was frowning and I huffed. Serves him right for being overbearing! See, this is why we can't have good things! (Though I'm not sure what is so good about this situation)
I kept walking towards the cold, I don't even know why. There was something there and it was attracting me. I knew that without having Ice as one of my elements, I would have never been able to come this far.
At least this over-powered magic had some use.
'I never understood why you don't just kill everyone in your path already. It wouldn't be that hard.' I sighed and shook my head in response to Arty.

"If I did kill everyone, wouldn't I be killing people's parents, their children, husbands and wives? I had close to no one on Earth Arty, even my own sister was kept away from me. And I have people in this life, I have these amazing people that make my day with just a few simple words... Others have them too, how can I take that away from them? Is that not too cruel?"
I heard Arty sigh at my response. He soon agreed quietly. It was too cruel to cause an unneeded massacre in my opinion. It affects too many people. Too many innocent lives are lost or ruined because of them. For one to occur, the person must be heartless. There is no other way.
The god once again spoke. 'That and you can't even control your magic properly... I really don't understand why you deny yourself the privilege to do so. By now you could have easily roped it in to do your bidding but instead, you refuse to truly learn. Is it because you are afraid of what will happen?'
I sighed as a large crystal and ice door appeared in front of me.
"That is one of the many reasons why. Now hush, I feel something behind this door, I think it may be the source of all this cold weather."

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.
