The bussing sound of people in the market was heard all over.

Every time I visit the market I'll stumble upon something unexpected like yesterday. I wonder if I'll be able to meet my pretty stalker again. That's one of the reasons as to why I left the mansion.

I made my way through the crowd by squirming past people. I noticed the shop that I had seen yesterday and went there.

"It's nice to see you again, mister" I smiled at the shopkeeper who tried to scam me yesterday.

He looked at me surprised and flinched.

"Um. Your ladyship I apologize for trying to scam you. You can take as many vials as you want" He said while bowing.

"No need to bow. Give me twenty vials of different colors. And also tell me the real price"

"Ah of course your ladyship. The price is two silvers as you had stated."

"For a vial?"

"No, for twenty vials"

Wow he really just lowered his price from five hundred silver coins to two?

"Here you go" I paid him the money and put the vials into my satchel.

What's next?.. I should buy something for Mary to make it up to her. I should buy some pastries. She always enjoys sweets.

It was afternoon and I started to get hungry as well since I had left the ducal house without having lunch. I bought an apple and was munching over it.The apples here are just like that from earth though they do taste a bit more juicy. As I was searching for a pastry shop someone tapped on my shoulder.

I turned around to see a handsome man with blue hair and the same deep blue eyes which my stalker had.

Holyshi- he's the second male lead. The archmage's son, Cesar Vakaracia.

His deep blue eyes were glaring at me. It looked like he was trying to penetrate a hole into my soul from all this glaring.

"It's an honor to meet the heir of the Vakaracia duchy" I smiled at the glaring man.

Since we are of the same status I don't have to bow to him. I never really liked bowing to a stalking character like him.

"You.... You hurt my Mirabel" He asked while stepping close to me. His eyes were like that of a predator's and to him I was his prey.

Geez. The only male lead that I like among these dooffuses is Ronin. Atleast he didn't falsely accuse me.

"No, I didn't. Now if you please excuse -" Just when I was about to complete my sentence an image flashed through my mind. It was of Cesar's. He was lying in a pool of blood along with Sir Ronin. They were both severely wounded. I can see destruction and chaos all across the Rultaz empire as well.

"Oi, are you even listening" Cesar snapped his fingers before my eyes.

What was all that! I just saw the two male leads die. Is this a vision?

"You are going to die" I looked at him in his eyes and blurted out without thinking.

"Huh? Is that a threat?" He sneered while slaming me to a wall.

Ew. This is like one of those cheesy scenes in a romance drama. Of course watching it is awesome but experiencing it in real life is only cringing me.

"Look here, young master of Vakaracia dukedom. You should know about personal space and now you are in my personal space so kindly step back" I really don't want to deal with this guy.

"Is that another threat I hear?" is this guy freaking deaf or what? I looked at him baffled.

I'm losing my patience. I pushed him off and he stumbled back annoyed.

"Now you have really done it, young lady of Salvair duchy" He snickered and began to chant something which I couldn't hear.

Just what have I gotten myself into!

Once he finished his chanting he smiled at me and snapped his fingers. I started to float on air while he looked at me with a smug face.

What in the... Gosh what's wrong with this guy?.. But it's actually quite nice. I was giggling and floating around. It's really fun. The people at the market stopped and gawked at me who was enjoying and giggling while floating in the air.

"Oi, why are you giggling? I can literally drop you, you know that?"He asked with an annoyed tone.

The people around us noticed this and all of them ran away leaving both of us in the deserted market place.

"Hmmm? Where's this awful noise coming from? Oh it's coming from an idiot who just doesn't accept the rejection from the girl he likes so instead he began to stalk her which is not romantic but creepy!"I exclaimed whole folding my hands as my body was floating in mid air.

I saw a vein pop on his forehead.

Suddenly I began to bounce in air​up and down.it felt like one of those rides in the amusement park. I giggled and laughed again.its just so much fun. God, I hope I don't puke but if I do I want it to be on that cheesy magician bastard.

The bouncing stopped quickly as I was lowered to his head.if I move my hands a bit I can literally pull out his hair. I smirked while he opened his mouth to voice out something.

"Why did you do it?"the air became chilly while he narrowed his icy blue eyes at me.

What does he mean? I did a lot of things so what exactly is he implying ?

"Can you be a bit more specific?"I asked while rolling my eyes.

"I'm asking you... Why you hurt my Mirabel yesterday?"The air turned more chilly like I was standing in front of an opened fridge to take out something in the middle of winter.

"I didn't hurt Mirabel though"I said while narrowing my eyes at this icy man.

"Yes you did. If I hadn't protected her then she would've became a victim of the public's uproar"He stated glaring daggers in my way.

"You are indeed right, young lord Cesar.But you must know this that it was in my least of intentions to hurt her"I glared back at him.

"Then why did you do it?"He asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Why?...Hmmm.. I wonder why?"I said while resting my chin on my palm in a thinking position. "Is it not because the prince got in my way while I was obviously ignoring him ?... Now that I think about it isn't it his fault?.. I mean the public went frenzy by the mention of his name it's not like I cast a spell on them.. If his highness was a good and responsible prince then maybe this wouldn't have happened" I shrugged and glanced straight at his deep blue eyes which caused him to flinch a little.

"Admit it Cesar, you the prince" I spoke in a serious tone.

"You hate him probably more than me... Look at the way he's treating his people.Do you think he'd treat her any good?"Maybe he would but right now I wanna mess with these characters and the storyline a little.The plot didn't do me any justice. I was a canon fodder who was supposed to die.In the book I was already dead so f*ck this plot and this book.

"I know you love her but that doesn't give you any excuse to stalk her."My voice became gentle and soft enough to manipulate the second male lead.

"You don't know anything.. She chose him over me"He said with cracking voice.

"And he chose her over me.So yeah I know it"I said while shrugging.

"The least I can do is protect her by staying by her side"his voice felt like drowning.

I cringed from his words.What the hell is wrong with this guy? Doesn't he have any other purpose in life?

"Uh huh.of course you can do it ....Or how about moving on with your life.you know finding more about yourself and exploring the world, achieving your goals and living a life"I asked him while giving him my most appealing smile.

He began to glare directly into my eyes.

"I am nothing like you, Salvarina. You might be able to forget your love but I cannot"

Please someone smack some sense into this Romeo.

"Yeah yeah whatever"I rolled my eyes at him.

"Now that I think about it weren't you supposed to be stalking her?" I asked him.

"I can't enter into the imperial palace"He mumbled annoyed.

Oh that's right! The imperial palace has a strong barrier which prohibit someone from using magic.Although there are a few exceptions for summoners like me.

"Either way can you put me down now?"I asked while still floating around.

"No" he stated bluntly.

I was getting impatient.What the hell is wrong with these characters!

"I want to punish you for hurting my Mirabel" a menacing smile formed on his lips which caused me to flinch a little.

"For the nth time young lord Cesar, I did not mean to hurt his highness's fiancee and just like I said she is his highness's​, the crown prince's lover so accept it and move on already-"Before I get to truly curse him out, I began to float up and up.

I was going up so fast that it felt like I'll be entering the gates of heaven real quick if I ever get to pass the gates that is.

On my way up I could see a few birds flying around while some of them gawked at me. I didn't get much time to wave at them as I was going up real quick.

I was pushed up by some upward thurst as I could feel the air pricking my body.it was like I was trapped in a hurricane or something.

After reaching at a particular height I came to a halt. I could see the whole capital from here. I could even touch the clouds.it was an amazing view. I couldn't see any people as they were way too small but I could see the small buildings and houses like they were dots.

The air felt nice to breathe in as well.This definitely feels good.While I was admiring the view a thought came to my mind. How will I get down?

The next moment as if I jinxed myself. I began to fall down.

Newton wasn't joking when he discovered gravity!

The fall was gaining speed rapidly.

I could feel the gush of wind sliding past me. I began to panic as I realised what would happen to me once the fall came to an end. That's right I'm going to be a flat pancake with a lot of strawberry syrup.

"Waaahhhhh!!"I screamed at the top of my lungs.

Alright stop screaming. I'm a rational human being.and as a rational human being I must think of a way to land safely.Can Iglo land me safely?.. hmmmm I can make him big using my potion but what if it doesn't work.

My stupid dumb brain was lost of any ideas. The only idea was to turn Iglo into a giant worm and to land on him but the probability of success is less than 70%.So that idea is definitely crazy!

I kept on falling and falling while I began to wail my hands like a flightless chick. Am I going to become a pancake?

This is all because of that stupid second male lead and gravity.

"Fuckkk youuuu Cesaaar and gravityyy!"I screamed in the middle of my falling.

Good. The cursing made me calm down a little.

I was falling for a few minutes and now I could see the people walking around the market place. They looked like ants. I was gonna go along with my crazy idea just when I felt a pair of hands tightening around my waist. The sudden warmth from the hands made me jolt a little.

I raised my head and slowly opened my eyes while adjusting my eyes to the bright orange rays of the setting sun coming from behind the person's face which left a shadow on his face.Black raven hair, mysterious deep blue eyes which reflected my image inside.

He smiled and held me tightly as he looked at me with a sense of longing.

"I've fulfilled our promise, Heun"He pressed his forehead against mine.

My eyes widened as a memory came to flash in my mind. Realisation hit me as I stared at the man in front me.

"Wonwoo?"
