Chapter 126 - INSIDE THE RED DOOR (2/2)
6. And lastly, please do your best to give a very entertaining performance for our majesty, the King.
When Luo Jin read all those, he cursed once again. His eyes were stuck at rule number one. He couldn't care less about the others. All he could see was that he couldn't go out of character. Meaning, he should act like a shy and weak-willed boy crossdressing as his twin sister? Does this game hate him or something?
First, it chose a gnome as his race. Now it's even forcing him to cross-dress and act in a way that was totally opposite of his character?
Then he heard a knock from the front interrupting his inner tirade of game loathing.
”Young Miss, are you alright?” called a voice. It's probably the driver.
Luo Jin was about to answer back when he remembered that he shouldn't go out of character. He gritted his teeth and then soften his voice. ”I'm fine.”
He sighed. The mystery would probably happen at the castle. After all, he'd chosen 'A castle of dreams for the wicked' out of the five choices presented to them. Which led him to the red door.
The reason why he chose it was actually pretty stupid. It's because he subconsciously thought that his brother would be attracted by the word 'wicked'– having that hidden dark side and all – and thus would also pick the same choice. It's baseless but Luo Jin just couldn't help but choose it.
Well, if his brother was not this door, then he'd just log out. There's no way he'd spent the rest of the night wearing a dress when his brother was not even here.
Soon, the carriage he was riding stopped. The carriage door opened right after and one who looked like some kind of footman. He raised his hand towards Luo Jin. He resisted the urge to slap it away. But then remembered that he shouldn't go out of character and so reluctantly put his hand on the footman's palm. The footman helped him climbed down the carriage.
Luo Jin raised the silk fan he was holding and covered the lower half of his face with it. That's when he noticed that his line of sight was still slightly lower than in real life. Meaning that this character's current height was still lower than his real one. Also, his arms were thinner. As if all the muscles he'd worked hard to develop these past years suddenly disappeared. No wonder this body could cross-dress as his twin sister.
He looked up at the castle in front. It looked like any other castle aside from the sinister atmosphere surrounding it, that is. Probably because of all those scary looking spires.
He was about to walk towards the castle when another carriage stopped just behind the carriage he travelled in.
A tall, willowy woman climbed down. Her black hair was arranged in a complicated French knot, surrounded by expensive looking pearls. She was wearing a black dress that perfectly showcased her curves. The black of her dress highlighted her satiny white skin. She must have noticed his gaze before she looked over in his direction.
And his gaze collided with a pair of indifferent black eyes.
A certain image of a pink haired pixie overlapped with the woman in front of him. And suddenly, the thought of logging out if his brother wasn't here just completely disappeared from his mind.
