The ones that were taking me looked familiar despite how dark the hallways were, my mouth was restricted from making any sound by a tight cloth surrounded over there while my hands were also tied with a large rope.

What happened a while ago was so quick that I couldn't even have a violent reaction, my eyes kept observing our surroundings, these kidnappers are stupid.

If I easily escape, I can walk down these halls as if nothing happened to me. I tried to loosen the large rope on my hands, but it looks like it was firmly attached to my wrist and palms.

I need something sharp to take this off. I was about to look at their belts and almost flinched when they stopped walking.

"We're here," one of them whispered and harshly pushed me inside of that dark small room. I groaned, fell on my knees, and glared at the one who did that.

My eyes almost widened after seeing those castle guards that were almost going to take advantage of me from the first time I stepped foot inside this palace.

"Oh, would you look at that? We still have a chance to get back to you, bedridden warrioress," both of them chuckled before closing the wooden door behind their backs.

One of them stood to guard the door and the other one walked towards me to harshly grab my chin, "You must be exhausted after that first challenge that you can't even escape our clutches," that guard sneered, so I remained glaring at him.

These stupid guards, going on revenge because I hurt their freaking egos, I wonder what they want from me?

I roamed my eyes around our surroundings and noticed that this is a small quarter, probably this guard's quarters.

"Unfortunately for you, a lot of nobles wanted you out of the challenges, so they paid us to do this with a chance to ask you to pay for what you did," the other guard said, which made me close my eyes in disappointment.

I knew that this would happen someday, it might happen not just once. I can't believe I became careless about this.

My hands want to form into a grip, but I can't because the rope is firmly tied against each other. I just can't bring myself to accept that there are people that will stoop down towards this kind of approach just to gain an advantage about something. I have to destroy this rope and get out of here.

"We also have grudges from you, might as well get even eh? You can pay us for what you did with your...body," after he said those words, his hands started to slowly roam against my body and I immediately felt so dirty as I tried to kick him away from me.

"Get the hell away from me!" I muffled a scream, it wasn't clear but I said what I wanted and successfully kicked him away from me, so he furiously glared at me before approaching me to punch my stomach.

The blow wasn't enough to take me off, but if they continued doing this, I might not be able to keep my system awake.

Brute strength is what I'm dealing with right now, I don't know if I'm able to do some stunts now that some of my body is sore.

My eyes examined their appearance and it looks like they're being tortured every single day because of their several scars and bruises.

They deserved more than that, what they did and what they are doing right now is way out of the line.

I can't believe that people like this already exist in this timeline, women don't deserve this kind of treatment.

"Stop fighting and let us do this, I mean you should be grateful we're craving for this body of yours, lot's of woman we're trying to sleep with us just to gain protection," he grinned before grabbing my neck and brutally threw me in the bed that made me close my eyes because of the harsh impact.

"That's right, don't worry we'll make this a hot night for you, before we torture you to death," both of those guards laughed like they have lost their minds.

"We're paid to do this and have a bonus to get laid with her, oh I might as well feast on your body," he whispered wickedly.

The other one started to take off his clothes as he kissed my neck and used his arms to keep me intact on the bed because I struggled.

"Don't touch me, you pigs!" I mumbled against the cloth while trying to quick him off away from me, so the other one decided to hold my feet, giving the other one a chance to take my top off.

"I'll report you to 911!" I screamed with tears streaming down my cheeks, this isn't my real body but of course, I'm going to feel whatever happens to it.

No matter what I do, this is now my present body right now and I have to protect it like how I survived those challenges.

"Look at this huge valley my dear friend, we'll have a great night here till we pass out," he grinned, so the other one just grunted as he took off his clothes.

"We're going to take you to your paradise before your demise dear warrioress," they both laughed mischievously.

I tried so hard to fight, but they're using their brute strength to firmly place me on that small bed, making it unable for me to move freely given the fact that my hand is still tied.

My body felt dirty after feeling his harsh touch from mine, my squirming continued and my cries continued to muffled against the cloth tied on my mouth.

I used my last remaining strength to get away and successfully pushed them off me, they both hit the bookshelves near the bed.

They both grunted and I took it as an advantage to get away, I didn't bother to get my top and tried to open the door even though my hands were tied realizing that it's locked from the outside.

Shit! What does it have to be this kind of door?!

"F-f**k! You really don't know how to stay put huh?!" The guard looked furious as he decided to run towards me with a knife in his hands.

I successfully kicked his hands allowing that knife to fly away somewhere, my back was hard-pressed against the wooden door earning lots of creaks and weird sounds from it.

My breathing hitched when they both decided to attack me, I decided to jump as they both destroyed the door. Yes!

Without wasting any more time, I stepped on them to run but that one naked guard got my ankle, making me trip on the rough ground.

The cloth on my mouth disappeared as I decided to shout, "Help me! Please!" I screamed at the top of my lungs and kicked those hands away from me.

My body is already weak, it already wants to rest and I don't know what I'll do if I lose consciousness.

I didn't notice that the other guard had his own knife and was about to pierce it to my feet with a large sharp sword and swipe his hands away which made my eyes widened.

"Holy--Ahhh!" the guard shouted as I felt some blood dripping on my ankles, I crawled away from them as I shakingly tried to stand up.

I tried to stand up several times, but my body was shaking badly that is making me unable to move freely and walk away.

My hands are still tied and I almost fell to my knees when that brooding presence immediately grabbed my waist and kept me standing straight as he decided to finish those two off.

Their terrifying screams were to be heard, but their cries were silenced by the s***h of that sword, my panting was the only thing that I could hear from our surroundings. 

My lips are quivering, afraid that this stranger killed those guards so easily. I closed my eyes when that stranger raised his sword at me only to cut off the rope from my hands.

I gasped and felt relief washed over me as my soft cries continued to noise our surroundings as that brooding presence scooped my waist and took me somewhere I didn't know.

I should be protesting, I should be lashing out and I should be fighting this stranger who's trying to take me away from there.

But I wasn't reacting to where this stranger was taking me, all I know is that I felt safe and warm being close to this human being.

"T-Thank you whomever you are, and please don't stare at me...I-I'm almost naked, d-don't take advantage of me," I whispered, and those were the last words that I have said after I lost consciousness.

***

My body immediately regained its consciousness and immediately became alert when I noticed that I'm in some unfamiliar place.

The place was enormous and tidy, it's the first time I've seen a beautiful room aside from the Archives I went to inside this palace.

My memories of last night came flooding that almost made me want to puke and rage, someone saved me back there, but who?

I glanced around and saw nothing but exquisite interior designs of flowers and some plain white porcelains on some bedside tables.

How long was I out? My eyes peered at the arched windows with satin shades shamelessly flowing on the sides, I can tell that it's already past noon.

"You've come to life," a deep voice called that almost made me jump away from my bed.

"Meep! You scared me!" I gasped and my eyes widened after seeing the King.

"W-What are you doing here?!" I hysterically pointed my fingers at him, so he immediately shook his head upon my reaction.

"Is that any way to greet your King? Where are your manners?" he curiously asked while tilting his head quizzically at me.

"I-I don't care! Screw your formalities!" I almost screamed because he's just in his red elegant robe like he's going to take a bath or something.

My eyes peered at his chest and oh boy, that King sure is working out a lot and even if I'm only seeing half of it, I can tell that it's sculpted perfectly.

His face is blank, but his eyes look like it's dancing with amusement, "Your wounds are probably healed already, leave after you recollect yourself," I furrowed my eyes at him after he said those words.

I glanced at my hands and noticed that there are some scratches there that were bandaged, I didn't even feel that I got this last night.

He turned his back at me, so I called him out, "W-Wait, w-were you the one who saved me?" He stopped at my words as he took his time to glance at me before planting a sly smirk on his ripe-looking lips.

"No offense, but why would a King like me save a peasant like you?" he firmly claimed before leaving me dumbfounded inside that room.

"The nerve of that guy! I was just asking! I'm not asking for money!" I grunted before standing up, only to witness that I'm dressed decently and this is one of the gorgeous sleeping wear that I've worn in my entire life.

Who let me wear such a beautiful night white gown? This could be perfect for casual attire back in my old life before.

I frowned, remembering that only Jumin calls and texts me on my phone through Mystic Messenger, "My babies in my otome games are probably missing me a lot right now," I just sighed.

I stretched my joints and decided to tiptoe towards the door and peek from the outside, crap I don't know where I am right now!

After I got out, my eyes examined the place only to realize that this place looks familiar because I saw this hall from the map Dahlia let me borrow.

"I just need to find the grand stairs, this is the third floor of the castle," I mumbled to myself before running and hiding to some statues of armors and weapons. All of the stuff here can be sold at decent prices.

Fate was probably on my side after I found the grand staircase and ran over there to descend as quickly as I could.

I don't want anyone finding me up here, the last thing I need is being pointed fingers as a trespasser or robber.

I'm almost at the second stair when someone spoke. "Milady? Is that you?" I flinched after hearing that familiar voice.

My head slowly turned around and almost became blind after seeing the shining presence of Romel Calypso.
