16. First Go! (16)
Maximilian was staring at Ally—his gaze was terrible! Ally turned away. Eventually, the Muscle Overlord opened his mouth.
“…You managed to read my next action… Hmm, what an interesting woman.”
If the one who said those line was the previous, normal, First Prince, then, perhaps, her heartbeat might have quicken—however, as of now, her chest was swarmed by dread…
The only thing that flashed within Ally’s mind was—“he and my former fiancé are the same person?”
—if there’s a noble lady who could withstand the sizzling aura this man emanates, then quickly come forward! I want to see you!
“Still, Stila seems to be quite fond of you. As her brother, I shall offer you my gratitude. You’ve protected Stila well, even if it has only been for a week—your name, what was it again?”
“Eh? Uhm, my name is Ally Crunea…”
“‘Ally’, huh? What a good name, and for some reason, it also feels nostalgic.”
Maximilian narrowed his eyes as he repeated her name once again, ‘Ally…’.
The way he smiled, it was as if he were standing before his prey …she totally couldn’t share his joy at all.
“Ally, what is your title?”
“Ah, I came from a baron family…”
“Baron family? Well, it’s fine as long as you’re an aristocrat. Ally, you should come to the West Wing as well—the place where I shall live with Stila from now on.”
“Huh!? N, no, I absolutely can’t do that. The maid who works in the vicinity of the crown prince should at least be above the rank of viscount…”
Ally hugged Stila and shook her head, expressing her adamant refusal.
The closest man standing behind Maximilian stepped forward with a reassuring smile.
“His Highness Crown Prince, Maximilian, who has just returned after his two year period of training in the mountain, is in the process of recruiting servants to work in the West Wing of the royal palace—for some reason, he doesn’t have even a single hand who is a woman.”
Well, that’s only natural—Ally remarked in her heart.
Ally studied the man in front of her from top to bottom.
Geoffrey Levis, the second son of the Prime Minister, whom was also a duke. As the duke’s son, it was already decided that Geoffrey would succeed his family. His current title was that of a count.
Geoffrey’s blond hair shouldn’t only be fair, but also flowing down his shoulders—now it’s standing up grandly as if it’s a sentient being!?
He also had a cold and nasty personality, not only that, there should also be glasses perched on top of his nose—which he would often push up the bridge of said nose—
—okay so where did you drop those glasses!? Those glasses were basically your identity, man, so where did you drop them!?
“Using our connections, we managed to gather some maids, but they are all old women—if a young woman like you were to join the West Wing’s maids, wouldn’t that be a gorgeous addition?”
Martin Bryce, the third son of the knight leader, also stepped forward.
From the beginning, that guy looked like a stupid muscle idiot, but now that he had inched even closer to her, the size of his muscles had basically doubled!
Overall, it was too disturbing of an image, her eyes were ready to fall off.
“His Highness is very heartbroken by Lady Stila’s current predicament. In terms of an educational environment, this palace is too inappropriate for a princess.”
Stephen Cole, the marquis’ only son, smiled.
That man always had a very docile and sensible attitude. Due to the thinness of his presence, he was always the man who shouldered the role of gathering information from the social circle. Too bad, it seemed that he would have to abandon said role now that his muscle mass was that conspicuous.
“The West Wing of the royal palace was built afterwards. Therefore, you needn’t worry, because it isn’t connected to the place of His Majesty the King and Queen. We shall protect Lady Stila with our lives!”
Chris Olson, a renowned-genius baron, put his hand on his chest as a form of salute.
The man used to write a lot, and his hands were not only pure white, but also thin like fish—
—now, his fingers were thick and stiff, she worried about the safety of the pen those hands would clench…
“Hey, Ally, let’s move there together? I love my brother, but I love Ally more! Let’s be together, always!”
Stila, while still within Ally’s arms, lifted her face and peered into Ally’s eyes—
—as if she could refuse when stared at with such glittering eyes!
***T/N: My waist… my waist…. I had a giggling fit at every description the muscle pack get… basically, they were all muscles with names, now…
—if there’s a noble lady who could withstand the sizzling aura this man emanates, then quickly come forward! I want to see you!
Phoenixir, I CHOOSE YOU!
Omg that’s perfectly it! Standing silver hair with muscly body.
They all be super saiyan ?
HIS HAIR IS STANDING UP BY ITSELF! ??
I never expected this story to be so JoJo’s. I love it!
If he is really that buff then maybe his duck doesn’t need to be mummified
well might drop now if she doesn’t continue her training just because she’s at his courtyard
I can only think of Gon when he became an adult ?? he had his hair standing up and was full of muscle hahahahahahahhahahhahhahaha that’s the only picture that’s comes to mind
Ever heard of pollnaref
Why everytimes i read her muscle description, i can only see Dio and hear Jojo theme song in my head
I see, increase the muscle = go Super Saiyan mode, no wonder their hair is standing up XD
I can only imagine the bunch as a group of huge and overgrown bears and are clumsy like Hulk but yet have nice hearts
I’m sorry. I’m sure it’s supposed to be all jojo references, but reading their descriptions, all I can think of them is summed up in one song:

Thank you for sharing this storg
If their muscles became that big from their training, then they’re clearly doing in wrong. For the muscles to swell that much means that they’ve only been training their biggest muscles, which includes only around half of all the muscle fibers in the body. This method creates the most obvious changes, but not the most practical, so it can be recommended to bodybuilders who only want to show off, but not to true warriors who really want to unlock their bodies’ true potential…
Hmm then how to unlock? ?
Train EVERY muscle…
It is possible to get that much bulk by eating a lot of quality of food think a whole lot of good protein and using the appropriate loading weights and technique. Think of crossfit athletes who specialises in Olympic weightlifting. Although achieving it in 2 years time is questionable but.. Its fiction.. So ??
Will Ally and Stila join them in their muscle training?
Oh god. I can’t wait for them to jojo pose.
Thnx for the chapter!
Reading the synopsis I wasn’t that gung ho about her ending up with the prince that abandoned her, but he’s so freaking different and hilarious that I can see him as a totally new person LOLLL
I’m starting to see it…
Stila is a princess like Marietta, and Ally is the maid…
Ally and Stila will fall in love with the beefy muscles…
and then the muscle god.. I mean God of War with his magnificent muscles descends upon them to give the blessings of physical strength….
STOP IT! STOP IT BRAIN!
I know a certain lady, ejem Marietta ejem, but she married already with her “muscles”
Hmm… could it be that their muscles enhanced their values? Magical muscles must be amazing. More importantly though is their figures, it wouldn’t do to just have them all be Tank types after all. Now about their characters. These guys, could they actually be nobles with sense and kindness…? N-no way! And they’re hot too?! I’m amazed. I never thought I’d see the day!
Now if only I can read a story about a chubby noble lady who isn’t obsessed with losing weight, that would be perfect.
Phoenixir sounds happy hahaha.
Btw i read in a light novel, that there is a term “White Marriage” or something? In which you can basically divorce your spouse cause u haven’t consummate it yet and not suffer the consequences of being a divorced woman? Does that rly exist?
You’re talking about annulment. An anulled marriage is more damaging to the male side and a divorce more damaging to the female side. Why call it something like, “White Marriage,” though? That sounds like that thing where you agree to not have sex with your spouse and adopt any children. Huh. That was a really specific simile
Idk i think the author invented the term herself.
Oh. So just a fancy word for Anullment. You know what would be funny? What if someone told her that that’s what they called Netorarase, or contract marriages back in the middle ages. Interestingly enough I think their actually are colors related to such arrangements.
The story itself is really discomforting… I hate story that glorify rape and abuse as love the most.
the male lead treated the femlead like shit for years after their marriage–BECAUSE SURPRISE SURPRISE, HE LOVED HER!!!! (assholefuck, no, your actions didn’t SAY THAT AT ALL.)
so when the girl can’t bear his neglect and harsh words anymore, she bring up white marriage WOAH DUDE INSTANTLY CHARGE INTO HER ROOM AND RAPED HER “NOOO YOU STAY WITH ME. NOW THAT I’VE DEFLOWERED U U CANT DIVORCE ME ANYMORE I WONT ALLOW IT”
Yo, legit. What the fuck?
I didn’t say that right when.
WHAT THE FUCK IN THE SEVEN HELLS IS WRING WITH THAT STORY?! NO. 70² NO! JUST NO!!!
It’s ironic how that story has similar plot with Ally.
After she got pregnant, dude brought along a really beautiful woman to take care of her baby, and she herself doesn’t get any chance to ever see her baby. then she was shooed to a really faraway, secluded villa, while the duke himself stayed with the baby and this beautiful woman.
Aloong the way, her carriage got robbed, and she remember the first gift he had ever given her during their marriage–a FUCKING dagger. and dude said it totally not ominously too, “this is for you to protect your honor.”
so when the bandit wanna rape her, she recalls those words of him and think he was telling her to suicide to protect her honor.
then she got reincarnated, and became his maid, and although she hates him, she LOVES him.
So…. what you’re telling me is, that this is one of the stories that perpetuate abuse through reincarnation, and we’re supposed to somehow sympathize with the Terrible Male lead?
It reminds me that one story on webcomics where in the first chapters the MC’s husband cheats, abuses, and hates her because she wasn’t a virgin, and he wanted to be with her sister who is in jail. We’re supposed to see something that he’s being manipulated by her evil sister,he took her first time, and he’s falling in love with her, as that somehow redeeming him but….all it does is make me want to kill him.
Love doesnt justify shit.
Y know what. After her dead the male lead oh so grieving HE 100% NEGLECTED HIS CHILD
…. okay. Let me get my dimension rifle. I’m sniping this piece of shit.
At first when I read the description about the male lead being an ice prince, I was like HMMM THIS IS MY TYPE.
but thank god I read it first. Otherwise jesus Christ, I would be scarred for lyf.
Is the medieval life really that harsh…
Hm… in the middle ages, chivalry was actually viable. Men respected women, wives were to be cherished, mothers to be respected and obeyed. They couldn’t hold government or military positions, but they held equally important positions socially. Sure women had to be subservient to men, but it was also understood that husbands had to respect their wives, and men had to show courtesy to women. Then there were the dark ages where women were property of men only 2 or 3 Levels higher than cattle.
Phoenixir! You dabble in writing, yes? I think I saw your story.
The other day, yea… I was reading a story in wattpad. Her character is brunette, hence she keeps referring to her as brunette. But then things start to feel off when she starts referring to a silver haired character as ‘silvette’.
I was like ‘oi i never heard such word before.’
Then as the chapters progress…. As if she is the new mother of english, the words ‘caramelette’, ‘silvette’, and ‘ORANGETTE’ are now being used without hesitation.
Wdyt phoenixir, is making up word like that acceptable?
Which one? Hopefully not the isekai I wrote when I was drunk and sexually frustrated? I’ve heard of Orangette before which is kinda acceptable because it kinda works. But no. Someone with caramel hair is either a blonde or a btrunette. Silvette? That legit sound like someone’s name. Actually it sounds exactly like what my wife named her computer. For hair color…no. However if it’s in a fantasy world that could be excused by those being words commonly used in that world. But then again people use things like bluenette all the time.
Phoenixir is married already!?
The one with shiomiya carol. Only a glimpse. Hahaha.
Oh good. I’m okay with that story. It was actually incomplete till I got around to finishing it a couple months ago. I’m struggling whether to take the sequel in the misunderstanding direction or the direction where the kind of love the two leads feels for each other is different.
And yes, I’ve been married for over a year now. I legit can’t believe it’s been that long.
Phoenixir, you a f or m? …pardon me if i am wrong i was assuming you are a woman.
You’re not, I’m a woman.
Ooooh i see!
“Eventually, the Muscle Overlord opened his mouth.”
THE TITLE! THE TITLE!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! IT SOUNDS STRONGER THAN A DEMON LORD!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!
“If the one who said those line was the previous, normal, First Prince, then, perhaps, her heartbeat might have quicken—however, as of now, her chest was swarmed by dread…”
Now her heartbeat is quickening for an entirely different reason.
“Geoffrey’s blond hair shouldn’t only be fair, but also flowing down his shoulders—now it’s standing up grandly as if it’s a sentient being!?”
Is this a reference to Hunter x Hunter’s Gon????

I CAN’T STOP WHEEZING………THE DESCRIPTIONS……THE DESCRIPTIONS……BLAME IT ALL TO THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE ENTOURAGE…..
Isn’t that guy blond? I thought the author was making a Dragon Ball Z joke.
Gon was the first one that came to my mind cause it says sentient being.
Their defining trait were all muscles now…
I think it is time to change the title from “I am a duchess who has rewound time nine time, but my tenth life seems to be reward mode” to “I am a duchess who has rewound time nine times, but my tenth life seems to be muscle mode”
Any plan to cook pancake again gabe
No plans for now. My schedule is filled up with my appointments with Mr. Sleep, I can only add cooking rice to my to do list. I like cooking but my laziness is over powering it
I had banana cake today
