The second female lead Dual Cultivates

Meeting her fiancé and his family was different than what Maria had thought it would be.

Her fiancé, Nick, had chosen not to spend any time in her company at all. Every time he saw her, he chose to change directions and pretend as of he had never seen her.

The blond-haired child was often nearby as well, often staring at Maria in contempt. She was not sure what she had done to warranty that start.

So, she tuned it all out in favor of paying attention to her companion, princess Neah.

And Neah really was a beauty too. Long and soft black hair framed her light blue eyes. Even her figure was well-developed for her thirteen years old body.

It was not difficult to see that she would become an outstanding beauty soon enough. She was someone Maria might have a crush on in the real world.

But not here, not in her new life. Maria could not afford to like her because she was promised to another. She could see but not touch.

Neah painted a beautiful picture, standing right there in the garden full of flowers and butterflies. She looked like a princess right out of a fairytale, a moment frozen in time.

Maria felt a little lost at that moment and tuned out. She needed to process a few things in her mind.

She had been dumped into this world by a higher being and she had agreed to this so Maria had no reason to complain.

What she did not like was her lack of knowledge about the circumstances. Maria had been told spare information before she had been sent off. Mainly because her original body had been dying at that moment and the pain had blinded her.

What Maria did know was that she was the oracle, the one who could foretell the future. She also knew it was a harem game and she had landed herself in the role of the ‘childhood sweetheart’ who became the MC’s reason for moving forward.

But would soon be forgotten once more and more females joined the MC’s harem.

This all would not happen for a few more years so it meant that Maria still had time on her hand. Time she could use to enjoy life and not have any regrets this time.

She also needed to set up a trust fund once she would be forgotten. She was rich now but it was all thanks to the royal family and their support.

Once the prince shifts his focus to someone else, Maria would have nothing left for herself.

“We should start heading back now. The sun is about to go down” The sun was going down now and it would not be long before it would really set.

“Awww, do we have to? I was having such a good time with you here” there was a moment in her lap and Maria felt something touch her inner thigh under her dress.

She looked down, only to find a pair of light blue eyes looking back at her.

When had the princess lied down? How long did she have her head in Maria’s lap? And how had Maria missed all that?

Maria moved and then she heard the crash. Her sudden moment had caused the princess to crash into the ground. Maria felt her heart leap up in her throat as the painful yelp escaped the princess.

“I’m sorry. Are you alright? Can I do anything to help?” Maria felt her heart as that painful voice reached her ears and she was instantly kneeling in front of the other female.

The wound did not look too bad and that made Maria finally calm down a little. The princess was alright and she had not messed it up somehow.

“It hurts. Can’t you see it and make it all better? Don’t you have that power?” the princess asked in a hurt voice and Maria felt pale.

There was something like that? Surely not and the princess was just joking. But she could not be sure about it as well.

She needed someone to tell her whether it was the truth or not.

It could all be done later. Maria had an emergency on her hand right now. The princess was hurt and something in her told Maria that Silyva would kill her if something happened to the princess.

The princess currently had one hand on her head and seemed to be rubbing it with a pained expression on her face.

This was not good. Not good at all.

“Calm down. This is no big deal so please don’t make that face. I don’t think I can handle it if you cried with that cute face of yours. But there really is something you can do to make me feel better” the princess spoke in a soft voice.

Her expression was no longer pained but was twisted in a sly smile.

That face gave Maria goosebumps but she could not help but agree with the princess. After all, Maria was the one who had hurt the princess here. It was all her fault.

“Good, then come here and close your eyes” Maria did as she was asked to.

And then there was a soft feeling on her lips. It was a brief but unmistakable brush against her and it confused Maria.

Had the princess just kissed her? Surely that was not the case?

It was over as soon as it had begun but the phantom feeling of lips was still there. Maria could feel it on her lips as fresh as a day.

Her eyes opened in shock but the princess looked as if she had not even moved at all. Maria could find no evidence of what had happened and bringing it up would just be humiliating now.

“Y-You! Are you feeling better now?” that was not what Maria had wanted to ask but her empty brain had decided to take over for her.

The laugh she got in return was unnecessary but it did make Maria feel better. The princess was not mad at her for her actions.

“Oh, I’m feeling so much better now. Let’s head back now” Maria did not disagree with the princess’s words.

The prince and her blond companion were in the room already when they arrived. The blond still had her eyes glued to Maria with an intensity she had never known but the prince was frowning at her.

And he turned away as soon as Maria’s eyes met his own.

“Maria, don’t you have something to say?” Maria felt her body stiff at her mother’s voice. It was clear to her that her mother, or rather, the mother of this body had some kind of control over it.

She was not sure what the woman wanted from her but Maria only had one option available to her.

“Thank you for your time. I hope you visit us again” she got an approving smile from her mother and instantly felt the pressure leave her.

She heard the faint ‘coward’ from the crown prince but chose to ignore it in favor of princess Neah’s small and encouraging smile.

The day had been hard enough but hardships were still to come.

But as long as Maria had this healthy and this second chance, she was not going to give it up easily.
