My Novel Antagonist is My Husband
Chapter 4. Knight Lucius

Virindan Village, Glassheight Kingdom.

"Young! Ohwaa!"

"Congratulations, your baby is born. She's so pretty!"

This where? Who's the new lahiran? Who was that the one who congratulated?

My view why is this blur?

"Owaaa?"

Why can't I speak fully?

"My son, so beautiful ... ."

Huh huh? Wh who?

"Oh, look, he seems confused. Try to hold her hand, Eloise!"

The eloise? Who the hell is that?

"Here, honey, hold Mama's hand ... ."

This ... .

My hand is like grasping something ... What is this? My eyes are still blurred, but if I feel well, how hard is the tip like a fingernail?

Is it, there is a human whose one finger is so big that it does not fit in my grasp? I'm not in front of a giant, am I?

A finger so big in a small hand. I remember when I gave birth to Dimas. My fingers looked huge in Dimas's small--to-small hand

Uh, wait. Who here had small hands? Me, right?

This ... is impossible, right?

I can't be a baby, right?!

"Youngoo!"

"Cup cup, Honey ... Alisa ... ."

Only the sound of crying could come out of my mouth. No way, I'm really a baby?

Now my body is rocking, just like when a mother calms a crying baby.

"You named her Alissa? Ah, she looks agitated. Try to rub your head to calm down" said someone to the woman holding me. The woman also said, my forehead rubbed by her.

I'm being a baby. Have I reincarnated? But into whose body? What is the person I don't know at all? Alissa's name is familiar to my ears ... .

"It was supposed to be this kid named Alissa Valcke."

Alissa Valcke's? Valcke?! His name is similar to the important figure in my novel Knight Lucius ... .

"Edma, can you take care of my baby? I don't feel strong anymore ... ."

The edma? Isn't that the name I gave to the auntie who took care of Alissa Valcke as a child? Can't be right, if I go into my own novel?

"Geez, Eloise! You've had a lot of bleeding!"

My body moved a hand. Suddenly the mood panicked. Some people entered the room when this man named Edma cried out for help.

"Are any of you able to summon a healing animal?" ask Edma.

I am more convinced that I have entered into my novel entitled "Knight Lucius", because in my novel, all of its citizens can summon - aka summon mystical animals. It's like a dream, but I don't know if I'll ever wake up from all this.

I can't see what those people are responding to. However, a second later Edma sounded angry.

"Aren't any of you able to cure Eloise?!"

I no longer look at the state of the room. I remember Mas Dion and Dimas. I really left them, and now I'm in a fantasy world that I created myself.

That means, forever I won't be able to meet the two of them again?

Mr. Dion ... Dimitri ...

"Relisa ... Ohwaa!"

"Cup, cup, Babe ... You know, if your mother Eloise is dead? Don't worry, yeah, Aunt Edma will always look after and love Alissa ... ."

***

"Well, Alissa's good at walking, yeah!"

The look on Aunt Edma's face came as soon as I showed her the results of my walking practice for the past month. Of course I can actually walk. I'm a 25-year-old trapped in a one-year-old baby. I just need to learn how to walk in balance using my new body.

After decades of running smoothly, I forgot that all humans started from scratch like this. I think I went back to being Dimas when he was a year old.

Dimas ... I can no longer see the development of my son's growth ...

"Alissa, why daydream, honey? ask Aunt Edma. I looked at him and shook my head.

"Maybe he's hungry. It's lunchtime. Have you fed him?" ask Uncle Krish, the husband of Aunt Edma.

"Already, even along with Penny!"

Aunt Edma carried me to my lap. "You want to eat again, Alissa?"

I'm shaking. Then, I pointed to the bookshelf that was across the room.

"... c. .. uku!"

My point is, I want to read a book. I'm slurred so instead of wanting a cute ass. However, like a baby who is not fluent in speaking, my mouth makes a stammering sound even though in my heart I say the sentence smoothly.

"Oh, Alissa want to read a book? Yep, we learned to read!"

Aunt Edma picked up a book and placed it in front of me who was sitting cross-legged. From the doorway, Penny - the daughter of Aunt Edma and Uncle Krish - walked into the room and joined me.

"I want to read a book too!"

Penny shouted out loud. He's two and a half years old, just like Dimas was. Here, I consider him as a big brother. Though, actually in my heart, I was always anxious at her adorable puffed cheeks. Even now, if I look in the mirror, I also have the same cheeks as it seems.

"Okay, let's read it together! Commence, yes. One day ... ."

***

Two years later. Alissa is three years old.

What's so fun about reincarnation to your own novel? I already know the story, of course. I created the world in this "Knight Lucius" novel. I know all the characters I created. I also know where the story of Alissa Valcke will end.

"Knight Lucius" was the novel I wrote back then to win the men's novel race on the platform I was working on. As per the title, the main protagonist is named Lucius.

In the novel, it is told that the throne of King Alan was overthrown by his own power-hungry right handman named Eric.

King Alan remained silent. In this novel world, everyone has summon magic, which is to summon mystical animal spirits from the spirit world. King Alan's magic is a black phoenix summon that can cast curses and foretell the future.

Before the last breath, King Alan threatens Eric, that there will be a baby boy born, capable of far more powerful than Eric's offspring. That person will succeed in eliminating Eric and his family in the future.

Shortly after assuming the throne, Eric's descendants were born and named Darren. The crown prince was detected to have such a huge mana.

However, feeling threatened by the words of the late King Alan, King Eric recruited people who had mana-detection magic. Then, King Eric orders the team to go across the country, search for male babies born with greater powers than Darren, and then finish them off.

Lucius was detected to have a mana larger than the crown prince Darren. So, he was sent to an orphanage. Unfortunately, after his parents managed to leave Lucius, a soldier King Eric knew the plans of Lucius' parents. Their lives were wiped out under the pretext of rebellion. Lucius is rescued after being hidden by the head of an orphanage in a chimney.

Lucius learned of this when he was an adult, and then planned for revenge. He joins forces with Prince Rion, King Eric's illegitimate son, who has the same fate as Lucius, who is hunted for his immense mana. King Eric did not know he had two sons. Accompanied by Lucius, Rion kills King Eric and all his descendants, and Rion becomes the next king, and Lucius becomes his right-hand man.

Rion has absolutely no love in her heart, thanks to the background of a lonely life. He was forced to become an adventurer and fight ferocious monsters. He was also often made a slave by other adult adventurers. Rion hated everyone and trusted no one, especially among King Eric and his supporters.

After becoming king, Rion hunts down all the nobles who once supported the family of King Eric and Prince Darren. The Valcke family was also one of the targets.

Alissa is the illegitimate daughter of the Valcke family who becomes the victim to marry King Rion, so that the Valcke family is not finished off.

Alissa is married to Rion. At the palace, Alissa meets Lucius who has become Rion's right-hand man, then falls in love with each other. The climax is, Rion learns of Alissa's betrayal and kills her.

Yep, the story of Alissa will end in the hands of Rion, one of the antagonists in the novel "Knight Lucius". I've known the end of my life in this world as Alissa Valcke, the figurehead.

Right now, I'm sitting cross-legged. At my age of three this year, I concentrated fully, gathering mana within myself and being able to possess summon magic faster than other people.

In this world, in order to be able to perform a summon, the mana particles in the body had to gather and form a mana sphere. When naturally awaited, it will happen when a person becomes a teenager.

However, as the creator of this world, I know the real mechanism. If the mana particles in the body were collected faster, I could perform magic even at my current age.

In order to avoid my death, I should be able to stand in the way of Rion's murder of me. That means, I have to become stronger, far more than Alissa in the novel!
