The Beauty Inside: Stealing The First Kiss, Get a Wife Chapter 139
Advertisement
Aruna stood stupefied. She was watching the gown she had to wear. She thought she had told thewere designer, Dedebudihiarjo, a few momths ago, that she disliked too many ribbons, beads, and flowers. Now, she saw so many swarovski crystals scattered everywhere all over gown.
She also told him that she was not fond of heavy gown, but forgot to tell him that she disliked too much fluffy one.
Beautiful? Yes!
So much, but too bad it was not the one Aruna expected. That girl was consistent with her simple, modest, and less complicated dress.
Its beauty certainly drew a lot of people's attention, especially the numerous crystals. They made amazing wave formation, sparkling and shining brightly. Everyone looking at it was awed in admiration. But not with this cute figured girl, Aruna.
She went closer, touched it but was still reluctant to put it on. She knew she would not walk easily with it.
In fact, it was not only that dress that stunned people, the ring, the earrings, diamond necklace, and the pair of shoes,too. All were beyond herexpectations.
Sparkling, gorgeous,and elegant was the nuance. Aruna was ready to be the queen of "Blue Ocean" wedding party., a concept which was inspired by the design of the invitation cards made by the bride.
Now the bridesmaids walked toward that lucky girl. They were crazily curious and wondered what Aruna was looking at. Their mind automatically sang a "wow".
"Aruna...why haven't you got ready? Look at us, all of us are pretty... or do you need our help?" Lili broke up the daydream of that bride to be. Lara and Dea came after her.
"Wow, so beautiful!..." Aruna was more interested with the unfluffy light blue dresses worn by her best friends.
Their beauty came to perfect with their hairstyle. A Baby Breath flower was tucked in their hair. Except for Dea, she was in hijab. Aruna thought. The flower which once beautified her marriage solemnization. It was Mahendra's favourite. The ruler of Blue Oceans.
"Why can't I put on a dress like yours?". She complained.
"uffff.... silly" Lili got fed up. She herself crazily wanted aruna's position. But her best friend was too lousy to be grateful with her amazing luck.
"We'd better go get cup cakes than hearing to your silly complaints" Lili replied lazily to Aruna.

"I'm coming with you...! Laras followed her back.
"Sister, I saw brother Agus was taking a tray full of food. It looked yummy!" her voice trailed off as both of them left.
Dea was left with Aruna. She was trying to pat her best friend's back. A sign of support.
"are you so reluctant to wear it?" She whispered to her ear.
"I don't know. Nervous maybe?" She looked down
"Nervous? Haven't you married him more than a week now?! Why still feel nervous?". Dea could not understand her friend.
She ran her hand to that gown slowly.
"Because since this day people will know who I am and my status"
For the next two years from today they would know I would be a divorcee anyway. A divorcee of Wenceslas family...
Aruna took off her clothes. Dea helped her to put on the gown. Very carefuly as not to ruin her make up face.
With a little effort, the two best friends were trying put things on correctly. Aruna had sent away someone who was supposed to help her. Now she felt sorry.
"De, please help me with the necklace".
In a moment Dea's eyes popped open. Carefully she put that diamond around her friend's neck.
"You're so very lucky, Aruna. It seems Mr. Hendra loves you very much". She remembered the birthday present last year and what she saw today. So much amazing.
"Ah, De. Don't be a know of. Hehehe". Her heart pounded wildly.
"Hi, Miss". A young man suddenly came up. He was an aide who was taking the challenge from the queen of Blue Oceans.
"Dea, don't you want to get something to eat?" A soft hint for a privacy. Dea understood that well. She walked out slowly, turning back once out of worry and curiosity.
From the costumes he was wearing he looked like a guard of Aruna's husband. Hmm.. why should I be worried? Convinced that girl in her heart. She walked out.
Juan closed the door one of VVIP rooms. A towering door of fourth floor Wenceslas Ritz Hotel. A room with classical mansion nuance.
"Who do you want to meet, Miss?" He walked closer to his master's wife.
Oh, she is so beautiful...
"Lower you gaze!" snapped Aruna. He was caught staring at her without a blink.

"Im sorry. Today you look so much gorgeous". He replied jokingly with gummy smile. He was stunned with his master's wife who had been brushed with make up. This girl usually wandered around the main house plainly. Her outfits were also so simple. Her hair was pulled back in a tail. Even in her plain look, she still looked pretty. She smiled friendly to anyone she met. She was even friendlier than the maids who were supposed to be friendly to her.
"You know him?" snapped Aruna while scrolling her mobile screen and stopped to a picture of someone.
"What? A man?_
His eyes stared at her disbelief. This innocent girl wanted to meet a man. The man looked familiar. Who is he? He spent so long time abroad so he did not keep track of this local artist.
This young lady told him that someone would hand him a secret note and he had to follow the person who would give that secret message.
Right after the soloist in aruna's mobile sang the first lyrics of the second song.
"Do you need my contact, Miss?"
Then they both switched their mobile contacts.
"Juan..." her melodius voice stopped him when he was just about to leave the room.
"Yes, Miss".
"Should an expected thing happen, please save Damar. Don't let him be caught". Her face looked worried. Juan got more curiuos about who that man really was.
"His name is Damar?"
"Yes". She replied softly.
"You can count on me. Don't worry over nothing". And he was gone behind the door.
"Sister,..it's time to go out". Sister Alina reminded her. The older sister of Aruna was not less beautiful than her. She was wearing a dress matching with her mother, father, and others.
"Oh, thank God. Sister Anantha is coming!" her face expression suddenly turned radiant for happiness. She looked at the faces of people she loved looking back at her in awe.
The first thing she did was to take her father's hand. Her three best friends walked along after her. She turned back once more, looking at her sisters and her beloved mother. She filled up her lungs, then breathed out slowly. An effort to bravely face her destiny down there.
She, Aruna...
Walking down the stairs one by one. And down there, standing by the end of the stairs was man looking at her.
He didn't let his eyes blink' even a second. His heart stopped beating. His wife was extraordinarily adorable.
A logic destroyer woman
Disable the movement of all neurons that analyze every nuance.
The first longitudinal wave teaches life.
The thrill which shakes something in the heart.
Hard to believe.
But was able to destroy patterns of logic.
***
He didn't let his eye lids close even a second. His heart stopped beating. His wife was extraordinarily adorable.
When this logical destroyer lady stepped on the last stairs, her father handed her hand to him. Her grip was soft and strong. It radiated warmth to his whole body.
And the devotee surrendered completely to his love. He took his bride to the altar. Everyone in that reception was looking at her, the luckiest girl ever. They started whispering to each other about that young ,beautiful, and cute girl. She was beyond their expectations.
But that whispers was not more than a melody. They didn't know how strong this queen was able to hold his heart firmly and turned his world upside down with one word only.
And the girl who just went down the last stairs did not care for anything else. She was awed by beauty of the interior presented to her eyes. While her hand was carefully held in hand of the Lord.
Right above the heads of the guests in the Blue Oceans party, something shining hanging down from the ceiling. Like a crystal ball filled with light, blue nuance. The shines struck everyone below it who were only allowed to have clear white or bright blue sky dress code.
Or she was stunned by the varieties of banquets with different themes plotted on the corners. All were in shade of blue, as blue as the lord by her side.
And the cupcakes arranged in line greeted the astounding couple walking through the crowd. Those cupcakes were likely to spell a magic that anyone ate them would be part of the oceans.

Home of Laplace
I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar mountain peak standing tall above me like seeing a skyscraper from the street. Soon the chilling burn of the snow that covered me began to invade my senses and I flung my torso upward, sitting up straight. I grabbed my head in confusion as my eyes surveyed the area around me: The corner of a mountain wall stood menacingly in front of me accompanied by thin, dangerous looking paths on either side. The likes of which only adrenaline-seeking psychopaths would use. I turned my head backwards and felt my heart drop as what looked like an infinitely long freefall met my gaze. I was sitting on the ledge of a snow-covered mountain. "CRKKKK" A heart-shaking croaking sounded from above me further up the mountain and I jolted backwards at the impossibly loud sound. 'Shit, wasn't there nothing behind me?' The sound of cracking stone accompanied the heart dropping sensation of descension. As I plunged down backwards, the last thing I saw was the deep-set brown eyes of that blue-skinned monstrosity further up the mountain. ----------------------------------------------------- Levi Laplace is a former genius biochemistry student that died a simple and laughable death on earth.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.

It'll pit him against crime lords, government bureaucrats, and, even worse, the Catholic Church. If there's anything folks get too passionate about, it's art and religion.
