Chapter 3

Seeing my lack of reaction after a while,

Daisy nudged me subtly.

"Alice, why aren't you choosing yet? There's a time limit for the quest!"

"By the way, I got some intel before coming in, they say both options lead to guaranteed death. You can't choose either of them."

She glanced around for a moment, her eyes settling on the servant.

"Sister, do you think it might be one of those people outside? They don't look like ordinary NPCs. Maybe that's the correct choice."

The comments furiously agreed with Daisy.

【Yeah, yeah, heroine’s sister is so smart!】

【Hahaha, the male lead is just so charming, you can spot him even if he’s dressed as an NPC.】

【Why isn't the heroine moving? Is she dumb? Listen to your sister!】

【He's your fated partner! He'll carry you through all future dungeons!】

I curved my lips, fanning myself with my feather fan.

"Sister, I don't think you're right. The system clearly wants me to choose one of these two handsome men~"

"That servant… he looks terribly ordinary no matter how I look at him."

I made to choose the white-clad young man.

Daisy was so anxious she nearly stomped her foot, whispering all sorts of dissuasions in my ear.

I then moved my finger towards the black-clad young man.

This time, she almost shrieked, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Her voice unconsciously grew louder.

"No! That NPC is a deranged killer!"

Oh, so choosing the black-clad one is the better option.

Most likely, he's the BOSS.

I covered my face with my feather fan, a mischievous smile playing on my lips.

"I choose you to be my husband~"

The black-clad young man curved his lips, lightly kissing the back of my hand.

His silver hair fluttered gently in the night breeze.

"At midnight, a carriage will come to take you, to share this beautiful moment with me, my love."

The white-clad young man drooped his eyelashes in disappointment.

"It seems Sister still prefers you."

Then, with a flash, he disappeared.

I breathed a sigh of relief. I survived.

Daisy stomped her foot in frustration!

"Alice, are you crazy?! You really have no fear of death!"

"Immediately tell the system you want to change husbands! Hurry!!"

The comments were also furiously cursing me for being a fool.

I looked at Daisy, a sarcastic smile on my face.

This was a role-playing dungeon.

I was the bride-to-be, and Daisy was my maid, Lil’ Daisy.

One of my causes of death in the past life: severe OOC, role-playing failed.

My identity was the Earl's beloved and pampered daughter.

How could a young lady, raised in wealth since childhood, marry a mere servant?

And how could she be bossed around by her own personal maid?

I raised my hand and slapped Daisy hard across the face.

"Impudent! A lowly maid dares to boss me around?"

"It seems I've spoiled you too much, forgetting your place!"

Daisy froze, staring at me in shock.

"Alice! You, you dared to hit me?!"

"Do you believe I'll tell Mom and Dad?!"

*Slap!*

*Slap, slap, slap!*

A few more slaps, and Daisy's face swelled up like a balloon.

"Insolence! Get on your knees!"

Daisy glared, gritting her teeth fiercely.

"Alice!"

*Slap!*

"Al—"

*Slap!*

"You insolent wretch! Guards!"

Two seconds later, two maids with skull faces appeared outside the door.

Yes, their faces were literally skulls.

"Oh dear, Lil’ Daisy, did you anger the Young Mistress again?"

"Mrs. Gable already warned you, if you don't behave, she'll have to teach you a lesson herself."

Daisy's face turned pale the moment they entered.

Her legs buckled, and she collapsed to the floor with a thud.

"N-no, please…"

The two maids paid her no mind, dragging her out.

The door opened.

Mrs. Gable stood silently at the end of the hallway.

As Daisy was pulled closer, her smile stretched, eerie and wide.

"Mi-Mistress, Mistress, I was wrong, please forgive me."

I waved my hand.

"Let her go. This time, I'll overlook it."

The old maid chuckled.

"Young Mistress, you mustn't spoil her anymore."

"She deserves some punishment."

Daisy panicked, biting her lip, and tearfully used an item card.

The maids froze in place, taking a moment to snap out of it.

"Lil’ Daisy, next time you misbehave, the punishment won't be this simple!"

I clicked my tongue. Daisy's item cards were really good stuff.

After the maids left, she glared at me, seething with rage, but dared not speak.

A few minutes later, the system's voice echoed in the air.

【Act One complete. Players have fifteen minutes of rest time.】

【During this time, players cannot harm each other, or they will be eliminated.】

The settlement screen appeared before me.

【Act One: Alice's Role-play Score 30 points, A-rank.】

【A very good score! An A-rank unlocks a snippet of info about this identity~ Keep up the good work.】

【You are the Earl's beloved heiress, pampered from birth, arrogant and demanding, but secretly sharp-tongued with a soft heart.】

【You and Prince Julian (the black-clad young man) grew up together, developing feelings for each other. He swore he would marry you. Ps: You are never arrogant or demanding in front of him.】

【Hehe, good thing you didn't choose the white-clad young man! You wouldn't die, but the dungeon difficulty would increase~】

I patted my chest.

It seemed choosing the white-clad young man wouldn't lead to a dungeon collapse either.
