The intro to this chapter with that title doesn't seem to match so well 🗿🗿

-----------

The execution for the priest was decided. He was sentenced to death by drinking sulfuric acid inside the dungeon. For what happened to him afterwards, my parents didn't mention anything to me. Although I clearly knew very well about him.

The cries of joy and shouting from everyone inside the castle upon seeing my arrival was so loud that even my heart was moved. I missed everyone as much as they miss me. They only have their memories returned recently yet when they see me within only a few minutes, they already feel like they've known me forever already.

Yvonne and Margaret, including Jamaica all ran up to me and hug me in their arms, no longer care about their our status. Not that I care either. Jacob, Connor and Finny stand still as their eyes filled with emotions. Xavier can only wipe his tears with his handkerchief as he hug his wife.

That night inside the duchy castle, we threw a party to celebrate my return. Everyone is eating, everyone is drinking, everyone is drunk, everyone is celebrating and everyone is singing.

Connor lift his beer up into the air and start singing with Finny and the rest of the knights grabbing music instruments from nowhere;

Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the one that we lost on the way
Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back
Memories bring back you

The song they were singing almost made me cried in front of everyone. The song that was from earth also existed in this world. I can't help but sing along to the melody and lyric.

Midnight came and I was dragged to bed by none other than my parents. That night, I sleep on their bed with them. The night we once used to sleep together. Instead of telling me more fairy tale, they told me how much they missed me, how frustrated they were when I came into their dreams, leaving nothing but my silhouette, singing and laughing.

I began to tell them back of how much I long to see them and home. We ended the stories when we were about to go asleep. That night, when I was about to doze off, they whisper something to me.

"Soon, you'll be a sister...are you happy with a little sibling?"

I said nothing but smile while half-asleep.

Being an elder sister doesn't sound so bad.

---------------

Month after month pass, my freedom after that incident were getting smaller and smaller but nevertheless, I was still allowed to meet my friends.

Seraphina and Ezekiel already entered the academy before us. Despite being young, Seraphina was still accepted into the school. Whoops, I didn't make friend with the crown prince though. But we get along quite well after bumping into each other inside the palace.

Delaphina already began her sword lessons along side with princess Sofiana and Augustine. Her divine magic was already on the same par with Helios. In the future, maybe she'll surpass her father.

As for me, I still practice my magic alone with the help from magic books Augustine and Seraphina got me. We weren't able to see Seraphina much but occasionally, she'll visit us.

As for my family, we're gonna get new member soon!! More surprising news is that Margaret and Jacob are getting married soon. Connor is getting engaged to Jamaica. Finny is going to become a captain of a knight division soon. While Yvonne is married to the son of count Heybabe. But I'm still wondering how the hell did she meet with him...did I miss too much events during the time I went missing?

But if everyone is happy, so am I!

Everything is peaceful and perfect. I no longer worry about the novel plot that will break my parents and family apart. Even if the plot existed, it won't beat my existence and my friends.

After all, once an outsider step into the world of novel, the plot will bound to break apart.

I sneak pass the guards who are in an intense training ground where they were busy with swinging swords and practising their secret moves with Finny as their trainer.

Since I wore a short skirt, nothing could ever stop me from running, bwahahahaha. I ran up to the hill where many type of wild flowers are blooming, it's nearly winter yet the flowers are still blooming.

Good for them to be so strong like this. No one even take care of them yet, they managed to bloom so beautifully like this.

Bellamira stood by the willow tree, growing on the hill as she waved her small hand to me. A smile pop up on my face as I ran harder to reach where she is.

"Bella!!!" I jump to her as she lifts me and swung me around like I am a bag of potatoes.

"Jeez, I haven't seen you in while but seem like you have grown up!!"

"Of course I am!! I'm going to be big in the future!!!"

"Hahahaha, big as a dumbo?"

"I'll slap you."

We hang around like this for a while before Bellamira took out something from her cloak. And that was my King chess piece.

"I thought I've lost it when we went to the void dimension!" I happily take it from her palms as I wipe the dirt from the crystal chess piece.

"Well, I got it. This King chess piece once to symbolise-"

"The head of an aristocrat family, yeah yeah, blah blah, already heard about it many times now."

"That's right! And it's belong to you, isn't that right?" Bellamira clarified the possessor of this chess piece.

"Yeah, it belongs to me. My parents gave it to me."

"Seem like someone is going to be the Grand duchess of the Beresford." Bellamira smirked at me.

"You bet I will!!" I return her smirk with a smug shit-eating grin of mine.

"Even though you're gonna have a sibling?"

"That's depends on their capabilities as a fighter and leader. I'm confident in my leadership. I'll become the greatest female duchess who used magic in the Valentine history!"

"I'll cheer you on then!"

We stayed with each others till late noon, that's when Bellamira parted ways with me.

"Where are you going to go now? Return to being god or stay here as a saintess?"

"My duties as Artemis haven't been fulfilled yet so I'll have to return to the god realm. No worries, I'll make sure to often send you letters and....we'll meet each others soon, ehe." She winked at me but I only cringed at it.

Nevertheless, I bid her farewell as she jumps into the portal to god realm. I grip the chess piece in my hand with a smile on my face before heading home with happiness overwhelmed my heart.

Of course, I picked up four different color of daisies along with me. Pink, purple, red and white mixed with pink.

Surprisingly, no one noticed I went missing for the whole afternoon. Haha, I have horned my sneaking and lying skills so how can anyone notice so easily? My dad will but he won't witness it.

I dash to the garden where my mother is. The orange leaves fell down as I stepped on the leaves, leaving crunch sounds from behind.

My mother stood with back facing me as she talked to a man who isn't my father. I raised my eyebrow but still ran to her.

"Mommy!!! I have finished my lessons for today now!!!"

It's true, I did finish my lessons...since 11AM.

"Adele, good timing! I want you to meet my cousin! Adele, this is Adonis, my younger cousin brother." Aphrodite smiles softly as she introduced her younger brother.

I stood still in my place as I can feel my jaw drops. Long white hair tied in a loose neat ponytail, resting on his back. His dark purple orbs shone like amethyst were covered by fluttering long white eyelashes. I stared at my mom then him then mom and then him.

What-?

"I have never seen your daughter before, she really looks like you, sister."

"You think so? Well, Adele is my daughter so of course, she'll look like me..." Aphrodite hides her blush as she giggles.

Liar!!!!! You literally saw months ago!!!! Mom!!! This man is a big liar!!!!! He's one of the people who drag me into this world but I'm thankful!!!!

I glared at him as I hide behind my mom. He shoot me a cunning smile as he received me blowing raspberries at him and of course, my middle-finger in return.

We chatted around until dad comes back from the palace. I immediately ran up to him as he lift me into his arm.

"Daddy, daddy!!!" I kissed his cheeks and I received tons back.

"Aphrodite, this is...?"

"This is my younger cousin, Adonis Hilton. He went on a long trip overseas and only have returned recently. He is an heir of marquis Hilton."

"So you're the rumour young master of the Hilton. Good afternoon to you, young lord."

Ares hands out to shook with Adonis.

"It's nice to meet you, your excellency. I believe it's time for me to leave, I will visit everyone soon again. Then, shall we meet again. You too, little Adele."

He shot me another smirk but I secretly sent him my middle-finger.

Tsk, so any gods who have finished their duties can descend down to human realm? Why does he have to be my uncle anyway?

"I made us some macaroni, shall we head inside?"

"Mhm, careful with your step."

"Alright, alright!"

"Dad, carry mom."

"Should I?"

"I'll slap you."

I didn't forget to shove those daisies into my father's pocket that evening.

----------------

5 months later

"Your excellency, breath! Breath, your excellency!!!!"

"I breathe, now what?!!!"

"Daddy, why are you being placed inside a much more difficult situation than mom who is inside the labour?" I gripped dad's arm as he hugged me anxiously.

He walks back and forth and chants the same thing;

"Everything is gonna be alright, we survived when Adele were born so we should be fine too..."

You weren't even present when I was born.

We waited and waited for hours until the door burst open with no noise of baby crying and a nurse, holding a baby in white fabric.

I lifted my eyebrow but none of my five senses are telling me something worst is going to happen. We moved closer to where the baby is as we only found him opens his shiny ruby eyes and stare at us with a smile.

Strangely, that smile was directed to me.

I immediately burst into tears and quickly get a gist of what the situation is.

We went inside the bedroom with only the four of Valentine in. Mom is holding the baby as we smiled at each others.

I let the baby hold my finger as I said;

"Welcome to the Valentine family, Childe."

------------

"Slow down!!! I can't run faster than this!!!"

"Who run while climbing up on the hill, you dumbo?"

"No, you!"

"I am a very intelligent species who only born once in a million year, rarer than the person who possessed both six eyes and Limitless cursed technique."

"Why are you talking about Gojo clan again?"

We laughed at our stupid jokes as I hold Childe's hand to the daisy hill. Our parents were walking far behind us as they waved their hands to us to go first.

"They're still haven't flirting even though we already got here first?"

Childe clicked his tongue at the sight of our parents being a lovely-dovey. Jeez, this 5 years old kid getting salty at his own parents.

I grabbed his hand and dashed to the end of hill where we can see the duchy.

"Magnificent, isn't it?" I breathe in the fresh air of spring at evening but my heroine mood were ruined again.

"We saw this like....this morning?"

"I'll slap you."

The past 5 years of my life were hectic yet fun. Growing up with Childe by my side is the best thing I could ever asked for.

"Tonight is the festival of springtime, do you have any wishes?" Childe asked me as he stared at the stars.

"Yep! I wished that I will get to spend every year, month, day, hour and second with you and our parents and friends. I won't waste any single second."

"You sound cringe."

"I'll slap you."

We laughed as we rolled on the grass, admiring the stars on the sky. When I was in Canada in the town I lived, there were no such scenery like this due to the light pollution around the area.

The twinkling stars and the daisies, growing all around where we lied down and the chattering crowd from below.

"Let's go to the festival tomorrow." Childe suggested. I nodded my head in agreement as our hands interwine.

It was a fun journey and this journey isn't going to stop right here. I will keep moving forward and tatakae-

It's a blessing to be born into this world with my friends and family surrounded me. I always used to think how lonely my life when I was Rias. But hey, look at me now. I'm all grown up well, living with a happy family and have a decent skill in socialising.

How I think it was lucky for me to be born, how I think it's such a blessing to leave that lonely place where I have no family.

The journey I started from zero. The journey where I strive so hard to live on.

The memories of my kid self, planning stuff at 2AM on how I should live inside a reverse harem novel world reappear. I always wished and pray for my family to never be apart after the original heroine appear.

But, seem like I didn't have to try. The plot is bound to fall just as when the three of us woke up inside this world.

Even if the plot continues like the novel, I will do anything to twist it. I won't allow anyone to block my path.

Whether it's the heroine, villain, male leads or Villainess, they all can't stop a reincarnator.

Not even the author.

You shouldn't care about who is the protagonist or Villainess, you are the heroine/hero of your life. You shouldn't fear a heroine just because she has plot armour. You shouldn't fear a Villainess just because she is evil. And you shouldn't fear a male lead just because he's powerful and strong. In my point point of view, I am the main character of the story life I written on these invisible pages.

No one but me can be the main character in my life. I'm nothing but a side character in other people's life. But this is my story, not theirs.

I'm not only a main character with nothing but being a happy-lucky-going idiot, my main goal of this story is to become the first female grand duchess of Valentine.

So, have you written anything about your life yet?

----------------

CLAP CLAP CLAP!!!!!!!

I'M SO THRILLED FOR THIS!!!! IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!!!

Adelliana's main journey ended here (╥_╥)

I am really happy for her!!! I like how I make her mindset still strong.

Her characteristics about not giving a single shit about heroine or protagonist is the most lovable part about her. Instead of thinking how the main characters of this world are the heroine or male lead, she simply doesn't give a fuck.

If this was a romance story where she is the Villainess, I'm sure it will be more than chaotic.

I'm so happy how I wrote her character even though there are some flaws ;-;)

Thank you for following me on this journey! I still remember how I wrote this book with smile on my face as I laughed my ass off when referencing those meme.

This is my second book to be completed with total chapters of 72.

Even though most part aren't edited but some chapters are edited by my wife PotatoeWolfie and the chess idea was from her.

The cover is also made by her, credit arts to O_nl44

Thank you again for following me on this smooth yet bumpy journey.

Q&A will be closed by Saturday next week!
