Transcending Fate (Transmigrated to an Otome Game)

Morning After the Party

The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow across Alaric's room. He lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, the events of the previous night replaying in his mind.

The party, the tension, the kiss with Cederic—it all felt like a whirlwind. He couldn’t help but blush at the memory of Cederic’s lips on his, the heat of the moment leaving him breathless.

With a sigh, Alaric sat up and decided to write in his journal. He needed to sort through his tangled emotions about his emotions for Cederic and Prince Lucian and also the attraction he felt for Gabriel.

Like in game it's ok is it ok to like multiple persons in real life

As he scribbled down his thoughts, the image of Elias's intense gaze and Julian's calculating smile kept resurfacing, adding to his confusion.

Later that day, Alaric met up with his close friends Mark and Luke at a cozy café in the heart of the capital.

Mark, ever the fashion designer, was animatedly discussing his latest designs while Luke listened with a bemused smile.

As Alaric joined them, Luke greeted him with a wide grin. "There he is, our handsome prince! How was the party last night?"

Alaric hesitated, then took a deep breath. "It was... eventful, to say the least."

Mark leaned in, curiosity gleaming in his eyes. "Do tell! We want all the juicy details."

Alaric recounted the party, Julian's antics, and the unsettling presence of Elias. He paused, biting his lip, before mentioning the kiss with Cederic.

"You what?!" Luke nearly choked on his coffee. "Cederic kissed you?"

Mark’s eyes widened in surprise. "That’s... wow, Alaric. How do you feel about it?"

Alaric sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I'm not sure. It was intense,(blushed)but also confusing."

Luke placed a reassuring hand on Alaric's shoulder. "You need to talk to Cederic. Clear the air. But what about Prince Lucian? You seemed quite taken with him before."

Alaric's cheeks flushed. "Lucian... he kissed me too, at Prince Elias's birthday party. I think I've been trying to ignore it, but now everything is so mixed up."

Mark nodded thoughtfully. "You have feelings for both, don’t you? ".

" Maybe yes and then there's ....Ahh!!! It's so confusing to like someone and is it normal to like multiple person at a time "asked Alaric.

"It’s okay to be confused. Just take it one step at a time and as for liking multiple person you need to listen to your heart and decide and even if you like them all it's ok."said luke.

"And it's not like, dear, that there aren't people with multiple partners in our kingdom. Some men have even given birth too,(Might delete this line later)" added Mark.

(##"I’ve added that line, but I’m torn. Should I keep it simple or add the whole male pregnancy thing? Ahhh! I’m as confused as Alaric.
If NOone has issues with the Duke and Prince not extending their lineage  as it should be in a real life senerio in the kingdom, I’ll keep it simple. So, what do you think?

Comment 'Simple' or 'Malepreg.' I’ll go with the majority vote!".
My mind saying Simple.)

Luke smirked. " But seriously, you need to figure out what you want. And be careful around Elias. He gives me the creeps."

Alaric chuckled, feeling a bit lighter. "Thanks, guys. I appreciate your support. I’ll talk to Cederic and try to sort things out. And also with Lucian. "

Mark grinned. " Sounds like our Alaric is quite the heartthrob. And while you’re at it, let’s get you looking fabulous. You never know when you might need to make an impression."

The rest of their meeting was filled with laughter and light-hearted conversation, easing some of Alaric’s worries. They gossiped about the latest happenings in the capital, sharing stories of nobles' embarrassing moments and outrageous rumors.

Luke leaned in conspiratorially. "Did you hear about Lady Belinda's latest escapade? She accidentally spilled wine all over Count Darian's prized painting at his art exhibit. The poor man nearly had a heart attack!"

Mark snickered. "And did you see Sir Reginald at the last ball? His wig was slipping the entire evening. I thought I was going to die from holding in my laughter."

Alaric laughed, the tension from the previous night melting away. "You two are terrible. But seriously, thanks for cheering me up."

Luke smirked. "Anything for our dashing Alaric. Just remember, if you ever need to talk—or gossip—we're here."

Mark nodded, his eyes twinkling. "And don't forget, I have plenty of fabulous outfits waiting for you. We need to keep you looking your best, especially with all these potential suitors."

Alaric smiled, feeling grateful for his friends. "I’ll definitely keep that in mind."

As they parted ways, Alaric felt a renewed determination to confront his feelings and navigate the complicated relationships that lay ahead.

As Alaric walked home, he couldn’t help but feel grateful for his friends. They had given him the courage to face his emotions and the tangled web of his heart. Now, it was time to see where this path would lead him, and whether his heart would find clarity in the midst of the chaos.
