    “You look hot,” Sophie said after Gerald disappeared. “Let’s get something to drink.”

    “And food. I haven’t eaten anything. Kevin will be so proud of me.” Katarina eyed the mountains of meat. With Sophia there, Kevin couldn’t say she had disobeyed him.

    “Refreshments first,” Sophia replied, knowing exactly what Katarina was thinking and what Kevin was worried about. “I don’t want you to collapse from the heat. While we refresh ourselves, I can tell you about what I have been reading. It’s such a romantic bad-boy book.”

    As they walked toward the punch bowl, Sophia began. “There’s a scene in it that is just like this moment. The hero, Prince Alexandros, leads his love interest, the #virtuous Katherine, to a bowl of punch, just like this one, complete with an ice swan. Isn’t it lovely?”

    Katarina admired the sculpture. “Then what happens?”

    “He gets them both a drink in #Champagne flutes just like these. They intertwine their arms and sip from each other’s glasses. Want me to show you how? It’s a divine scene.”

    Katarina nodded and took the glass that Sophia offered her.

    “Cross your arms like this. Good. Now sip. Kampai!”

    The position was embarrassing, but the drink was sublime. Its gentle sweetness embraced her mouth, and the bubbles tickled her nose. Looking over the flute's edge she noticed it had lovely multi-colored sugar rimming it, and Sophia’s face, which had turned a cute shade of pink. She made a silent toast: “I’m glad I have friends like this. Sophia’s the best.”

    “You liked that,” Katarina said.

    “Yeah,” Sophia replied, turning even redder.

    “It was so nice, and I love the bubbles.”

    “I could tell. You drank that fast,” Sophia said. “Let me get you another.”

    The second glass followed the first while Sophia sipped slowly on hers.

    “It’s so good!” Katarina said getting a third.

    “You should sip that,” Sophia warned, but it was too late; that glass disappeared too.

    “Sophia, the room’s dancing.” Katarina spun spilling some of the #Champagne cocktail.

    That’s what happened in the book, too. The girl wasn’t used to alcohol and started acting silly. The bad-boy prince swept her off her feet and whisked her out of the ball to unknown places. She left her selfish fiancé fuming and her frantic friends behind.

    “That’s so… romantic.”

    “Shall we?” Sophia asked. “I could be a bad-girl. I’ve read lots of books with bad-boys and know what to do.”

    “Let’s,” Katarina said as Sophia led her away.

    “Encounter with Gerald: Part II

    #FanFiction #MyNextLifeAsAVillainess! All Routes Lead to Doom! (#Bakarina #Hamafura)
    #Wss366 (Old word)

    [Continued from “Encounter with Gerald: Part I”]

    The duel of sharp-edged glares may have been interrupted, but it didn’t stop the drawing of dagger’d words, with the prince drawing first blood.

    Keith grimaced and bowed. “Many people who wish to bid her a joyous new year, so please refrain from taking her away from the main room.”

    Gerald smiled and swept Katarina onto the dance floor. He nodded to the orchestra, and they increased the tempo. What had begun as a stately waltz had become a whirling dance requiring both extreme grace and stamina. Only his skill kept his feet from being mashed by his partner, who was forced to hold him tightly.

    For her part, Katarina found herself clasped close to the prince. His whispered voice tickled her ear. “At last, I have you to myself. You really shouldn’t make me work so hard for this. We are to be married. Being with you is all I have ever wanted. Isn’t it the same for you?”

    “Hmmm, actually, I was hoping you’d take me to the dessert table. Wouldn’t that be better than dancing?” Her muffled reply reached him through the lace of his shirt, and he sighed.

    “My Katarina. So cute, sweet, and innocent. I will have them bring some to my room for us to enjoy.”

    Her heart fluttered. Gerald was always so kind. “And cake.”

    His clothes had been lightly perfumed with a soft musk, but it didn’t hide his natural scent. “It’s kind of nice,” she thought. As she breathed the scent, it filled her head. Her mind spun faster than the waltz. “It’s like a #gyro-copter,” she thought. “We go round and round. Or whipped cream, yum!”

    Prince Gerald swirled the couple to the tempo of the fast waltz that was playing, and her mind spun in time with the whipped delights she imagined.

    “I feel faint,” she finally said, unused to dancing. Her last thought before passing out was, “Keith will be pleased that I fainted.”

    Encounter with Gerald: Part 1

    #Wss366 (New word)

    [Continued from “The Party Flag”]

    “Keith, it was kind of you to escort my fiancée.” Prince Gerald Stuart said from behind the couple.

    Keith jumped and turned toward the prince. The stern yet loving expression on his face faded and was replaced by something colder. “It is my duty. As her brother, I must protect her from all dangers.”

    The two smiled at each other, like swords crossing before a battle. Their eyes hinted that neither would give the other quarter.

    “Gerald, I’m so pleased to see you,” Katarina said. “Keith was just talking about you. He was worried I might get ill and embarrass you. He worries about you.” There wasn’t a trace of irony or sarcasm in her voice. “With both of you looking after me, I’m sure nothing bad will happen. I have Pochi as well,” she said, referring to her dark-magic familiar.

    The pair of men blinked, their bladed looks pausing midair.

    “Indeed,” the prince began again. “I am grateful that your brother looks after you so well. Ah, but the first dance is about to begin, and as your fiancé, it belongs to me. Not even your brother can begrudge me that. I promise to take care of this precious jewel in your absence, Sir Keith.” He handed his rival his half-finished #drink and concluded, “And if you would be so kind.”

    The Party Flag

    [CW: Chapter three contains drunken dubious consent. The interpretation is left to the reader.]

    “You are not to go to the #buffet without Maria or me accompanying you. I think I can trust Maria.” Keith was giving his sister, Katarina Claes, a last-minute lecture before they entered the Magical Ministry’s New Year’s party. “And under no circumstances are you to be alone with Gerald. If he corners you, faint—wait… No, no, no—only if there are other people around. But absolutely do not faint if you are alone with him!”

    Katarina cocked her head, giving Keith a puzzled look. “He’s good-looking, but I don’t think I would faint. My heart sometimes flutters oddly, but no, I won’t faint.”

    Keith sighed, thinking, “At least she was listening. No, wait—her heart flutters! That’s not good. Not good at all! Why are you such a dunce about this kind of thing?”

    “Just don’t be alone with him. Can you remember that?”

    “Of course, dear brother. ‘Don’t be alone with Prince Gerald.’ Got it.”

    This being a Ministry party, things were more casual than at castle balls, and they entered without introductions. The Ministry assumed everyone knew each other at these events. They were there to have fun, not to maneuver socially.

    That didn’t mean that it was a cheap affair. The buffet instantly drew Katarina’s attention with its mounds of tender roast beef carved by white-clad servants; honey-baked hams; roasted goose; pâtés; salads; exotic and #locally raised fruit; potatoes prepared in a myriad of fashions; and a line of tables groaning under their burden of sweets and pastries. It was the last of these that riveted Katarina’s attention.

    Keith sighed again and held his sister’s arm tighter. It was going to be a long evening.

  7. #Review: My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!
    #LightNovel Satatoru Yamaguchi
    English Pub: #JNovelClub
    Rating (1-9) 6 (Good)

    Like most long series, this one is uneven with the first few volumes being the best. (13 volumes released in English and 14 in prepubs.) It’s a well-used plot Katarina Claes suddenly remembers her prior life and realizes she is the villainess in an otome. The first few volumes are excellent with a good dose of blatant subtext yuri. When Katarina (Bakarina) survives all the game’s death flags, winning the hearts of all the characters on the way, the author loses focus on what made the series good to begin with. I almost gave up on it. Then the author picks up the tone again, and the series regains its footing. Bakarina, through charisma, luck, and lots of friends: surviving adventures, surmounting death flags, and all the while remains clueless. Yuri, unfortunately, becomes a faint echo of the beginning.

  13. ICYMI: I now have a #Ream! Ream is like Patreon but specifically for authors and readers with an amazing built-in ebook app!

    Right now, you can get full backlist access plus I've been releasing tons of bonus content!

    Additionally, I release two episodes a week of my #Sapphic #Otome #Isekai serial! Disappointed that #Bakarina didn't end with Maria and Catarina OTP? THE LAST PAGE has all the magic and suspense but with 100% more disaster bis.

    My Ream allows me to keep writing and also afford my medical bills as a struggling, #disabled author. Thank you to everyone who has already signed up! 💜
