QT: The Secondary Character Counterattacks (Obey Me! characters x Reader)

Arc 5. The Unfavored Daughter Chooses an Unlikely Backer (Mammon x Reader) 1

I was so happy to read everyone's guesses and analyses on the recent chapters. correctly deduced that Before Everything and Mistaken are not narrated by the same person based on the (? x Reader) and (?? x Reader). But another clue were the contradicting lines: "Flower nor jewel *nor star* could compare" (from Before Everything) and "Your eyes shine *like stars* when he talks. Why won't you look at me the same way? What do I have to say so you can smile like *the sun*?" (from Mistaken).

I was so thrilled with everybody's enthusiasm and replies that I am so tempted to write more, but no, I can't. It takes away half the fun.

Okay. I kept you guys waiting enough.

LET'S BEGIN THE NEXT ARC!

Chapter 1: Hello, Fake France (or is this England?)

[Host extraction successful.]

You were brought back to the White Space without issue. Thank God.

[Congratulations on completing the world of "Even When You Don't Want Me Anymore"]

[Mission grade: SS]

[Junior Transmigrator reward points: 1200]

[Hidden task bonus: 100]

A twenty percent raise. A sad 100 bonus. No expectations and yet still disappointed.

[Host, I have full access to the after-story.]

"No need," you muttered.

[What?]

"Despite that...'bonus,' I got a double-S grade, so obviously, Maya lived happily."

[I suppose, but are you not curious about Levi's future?]

You scratched your neck. "No."

The system watched you dubiously. [Are you sure—]

"Get me to my next mission."

[I understand, Host...] The system sensed irritation in the Host's voice and decided to stay quiet lest it be flogged.

It contacted the Main System and soon, a lady whose off-white nightgown was tainted brown with blood hovered towards you. Her hair was matted and her spotted face was smeared with snot, blood and tears.

[Synchronizing souls...]

[Sharing character memories... Sharing webcomic details...]

[Reminder: female pronouns will be used on both the supporting character and our MC]

This romantic comedy is set in a vaguely 1700s Western European-inspired nation named Promethea and centers around the life of Prudence, the ironically named chirpy and free-spirited daughter of Viscount Leonard Leopold (yes, that is his name) and his deceased viscountess.

To real-life people, this is a casual, light-hearted story about a young lady who loves to read but does not know embroidery, dance, etiquette...well, let's just say that, at least in-universe, she is better defined by the things she does not know more than the things she does.

She is mildly considered a misfit due to her ditziness, but is cute and charismatic. So charismatic, in fact, that Prudence catches the attention of MC's fiancé, the crown prince of their kingdom, Cyril.

Setting aside his disloyal ass for now, MC is the only daughter of the Earl of Rosewater and whose interactions with Prudence are limited to polite conversation in parties. She's been engaged to the prince since she was a fetus, as her mother and the prince's mother were close friends. Her mother died from childbirth (how original). Her father blames her for his first wife's passing and remains to be a distant figure in her life. He eventually remarries, to the widow of another earl, and MC ends up with a stepmother, three stepbrothers and two stepsisters. In terms of narrative, that's all there is to know about MC. After the prince broke off their engagement, MC is never mentioned again.
