So Uhm...
This is awkward.
The only odd ones out are the assassin and I. The rest are all main characters in the book... I'm tempted to run away with the pretty assassin now.
"Oh? A commoner? Don't you think you should mind your own business?" The crown prince spoke up.
"Oh please, your highness. This is hardly your business as well. Screw off." She said as she flipped him off...
What happened to my pure innocent heroine?! Is everyone just changing now?! Also what does she have against the crown prince... at this stage, she shouldn't have started hating nobles yet...
"Oh...? Need I remind you that I'm royalty? My status is higher than yours, you see..." Yikes... he's mad.
"Nobles are all the same. Narcissistic and arrogant. You're not needed here." Where did she learn to talk back?!
"Uhm... guys.. maybe it's better to deal with the assassin first before..."
"Man this is awkward... I'm leaving." Ah, great. The assassin's just going to leave like that. Seriously, why would anyone hire such an assassin?
[Countdown: 0 minutes 0 seconds. Question status: Complete]
Oh, no wonder... Well... I suppose I should focus on the situation in front of me right now... As for the assassin... Wait shes actually leaving?! You can't abandon me to the three tyrants!!
The villainess grabs my hand and starts dragging me off to who-knows-where.
"Hold on, Lady Alphonse. I believe we're not done here. I have something to discuss with you."
"If it's about the engagement, tell your father the emperor that I refuse."
Engagement...? Refuse? Their parents weren't meant to set them up together until a few years later! What's going on?!
"How troublesome. In that case, I still have matters to discuss with your servant."
"..."

And that's how we all ended up in the royal palace.
"Your highness... if I may inquire... what is that commoner doing here?"
Elise stared at the young heroine, innocently sipping on her tea.
"Oh, don't mind me... I'm only here for Y/N."
Yeah she's only here for- Wait what? What happened to the crown prince?
The atmosphere here is tense... I sense a cold aura exuding from each of the main cast. The crown prince is obviously annoyed by the two 'extra guests' in the room...
"So... Y/N L/N, is that correct?"
"Uh.. yes.. that's me."
Leonas calmly places his tea cup down and made eye contact, ignoring the other two characters from the main cast.
"I'll be direct..."
Oh great, the sooner we're done, the sooner I can get back home-
"...Join the royal family."
Uhm... isn't that way too direct-
"She's refuses."
"I believe I asked Miss L/N, Lady Alphonse."
"I-"
"She refuses."
No one spoke a word after that.
I just wanted to go home... with the three characters of the main cast having their attention in me... this sure is awkward... this is not how I expected this to go...
"So, Uhm... your highness.. What do you mean by 'join the royal family'...?"
He turns back to me.
"Ah, it seems at least one of you here have manners. That's right, I've heard about your powers from the head of the Alphonse family."
Oh, well... I did mention it to them because I saw them as my own family... but for this information to reach the crown prince's ears...
"That's right... I can tell the future..."
"I see. Splendid. So join the royal family. I can promise many rewards if you do."
Uhm... I don't think that's the issue...
"Your highness, I'm Lady Alphonse's personal servant... I believe it's wrong to join another family..."
"Is that so? It's fine. I'm royalty, just a few paperworks and I'll get it done."
What have I gotten myself into...
