Circumstances of Switching Bodies - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

The strong winds cast a tree shadow over the clothes that were on the carpet. The rain seemed to have stopped pouring down the roof.

Up until a few hours ago, the room was so gloomy to the point where you could not imagine it being a room where a man and woman were intertwining with each other.

By the time his regular sleepy breath rang in the room, I opened my eyes quietly.

‘Let’s check it out.’

I began to move carefully so that the man sleeping on the bed wouldn’t wake up.

Frederic Leiperse. The male protagonist of the novel, “The Cursed Prince,” and the Prince of the Leiperse Empire. The man who is the leader of the secret knights ‘Black Rang,’ (name of the knights) and was chosen by the Marong Sword. He was sleeping, revealing his muscular body.
I supported myself with trembling arms and moved little by little. A splitting pain came up to my waist.

Although I was not a crybaby, this strange pain automatically made me cry. Even though I said it was my first time spending a night with a man, he moved wildly the whole time.

I knew he was an inconsiderate and hard character. He was sent to a kingdom who was at war with the empire. He was taken as a hostage for negotiation, growing up alone for fourteen years.

But I didn’t know that attitude would remain. Oh my God….

‘Thank God. I would have been captivated by your beautiful face if you had been a little nicer to me.’

Even though it’s my second time being under the influence of the book, I was weak on my face.

His face looked particularly nice, so he had to be careful not to get upset.

I had a private meeting with him because today was the last one.

I moved carefully, holding back my groan. I was asleep with my back against him, and his body was slightly touching mine because the bed was narrow.

I think he was hugging me from behind before he went to bed, but he was lying next to me and not holding my waist.

It was quite a manly posture for someone who was passionate toward me.

“Wash up and get out.”

I didn’t expect him to hug me and fall asleep just because he had spent the night, but somehow I felt a little offended.

How much will his future woman suffer from this indifferent tone and insensitiveness?

“I still don’t see that all I want is your body.”

“I’m following you around like a dog.”

I remembered what Derek told me the other day, and my forehead frowned. Had I liked him at all, I would have been quite upset by his threatening low-pitched utterances.

But I didn’t care because I was deliberately approaching him to cure a curse.

I lifted the blanket very slowly and moved my body that was in contact with Derek to widen the distance from him. My body, which was gradually exposed from the blanket, was stained with his teeth and red traces.

After hours of suffering as his desires wished, his body was in tatters, but it wasn’t considered bad.

‘How upset would you be to know that mine and your messed-up body have switched?’

Now Derek would be more embarrassed because he wouldn’t know he’s cursed. When I thought of Derek, who would groan under the absurd but intimate pain, I almost cried with joy.

I was quickly eager to see that scene, so I pulled away from him. My head throbbed and my eyes closed reflexively.

When I opened my eyes, I was looking at the ceiling.

‘You really switched bodies, didn’t you? I knew it was possible, but it’s amazing to actually experience it.’

Except for my stiff waist, my body was surprisingly light. This was because it was Derek’s body, not mine.

I turned my face toward the ceiling to the side of the floor. My beautiful hair was rippling like the petals of a freshly bloomed rose.

Lashes long and rich enough to cast shadows. Attractive lips that are eye-catching, regardless of age or sex.

The body, wearing a white slip and a brush that was almost invisible, was clean, and the slender sensual body made my mouth water.

Irene Chandler.

The youngest daughter of the Duke of Chandler, praised as the most beautiful girl in the empire, lies beside me. It was originally my body.

‘You’re so pretty.’

I felt it every time I looked in the mirror, but my body was beautiful enough for me to hold my breath for just a split second.

About fifteen years ago, when I was a college student, I was possessed by Irene’s six-year-old body, I admired how I looked in the mirror.

‘I’ve been possessed by a book for more than fifteen years, so I can call it my own body now.’

Anyway, it was a pity that Derek didn’t fall for my fatal charm, but at the same time, it was also a ‘thank you’.

‘When the story of the crown princess reveals, I’ll naturally start shifting away. It’ll be annoying if I get more involved.’

I wished him a good night’s sleep. Otherwise, Irene’s body would hardly recover.

I want you to feel how painful it is for a woman to move freely early in the morning after a passionate night, Your Highness.

I thought to myself and got out of bed. I couldn’t screw things up when I was happy that the first step of the big plan fell right into place.

* * *

There was a reason for me doing something crazy, such as stealing the prince’s body and running away. To explain my situation, I had to first explain what happened in the novel.

“The Cursed Prince,” was a so-called high-ranking, rated 19-gold romance novel.

In short, the prince, who was cursed by a wizard while living as a hostage in the enemy’s kingdom during the war between empires, fell in love with the heroine who released his curse after returning home.

And my family, the Duke of Chandler, was sentenced to extinction for treason before Derek’s curse was lifted.

The reason was, to put it simply.

Knowing that there is something wrong with his body, Derek calls in the imperial palace doctor and says he will punish him severely if he fails to fix his symptoms.

Not even knowing it was a curse, not a disease, that bothered him.

Sadly, my first brother, Cedric, who was willing to practice medicine, was an imperial palace doctor, and he was caught raising poisonous grass.

‘It’s a grass that is proven to be effective in dispelling a curse after a few years.’

Derek, who was half crazy about the fact that his body was not normal, sentenced Cedric to death for trying to assassinate him.

No matter how great the Duke of Chandler was, his eldest son was accused of treason and could not be safely handed over.

Our family was sentenced to extinction on charges of attempting to cause treason.

‘It would have been difficult to make a normal judgment because the mana would be in a nerve-wracking condition. And he doesn’t even know he’s cursed.’

The book depicts a very long scene of a rabid tyrant killing all the members of the Chandler family, cutting off the tongues of the siblings and enslaving them.

Funnily enough, the book’s heroine was supposed to heal Derek only after I and the members of the Chandler family were killed.

So I’ve been thinking about how to solve Derek’s curse ever since I fell into this world.

Thinking that the lives of me and my family were at stake, I remembered how the heroine solved Derek’s curse.

I could have prepared something else, but I couldn’t help myself from consuming a magic potion at the same time for fifteen days.

Elcion, who took Derek as hostage, was a kingdom that became stronger by embracing wizards. He hated magic and potions because he was fooled by wizards for a long time.

It was also impossible to explain the curse to him and to suggest an antidote. I didn’t have anything to say when he asked me how I knew about the curse.

After years of thinking, there was only one way to get him to drink the antidote at the same time for fifteen days.

‘Only after I take over his body can I drink the potion myself.’

So I deliberately seduced Derek from the moment he grew up and returned to the empire.

I felt sorry for myself, but I was also self-conscious and all-time insensitive.

If he had been so kind and helpless toward me, I would have felt remorse, thankfully.

After persistent temptation, I succeeded in making him accustomed to having me around him and his work.

It took me a long time to think of that vigorous man that glared at me shakingly.

Now, he was not pushing me away, even though he was wounding me with words, he sometimes gave me gifts as if he were acting kind.

Still, it was a remarkable development compared to the first time when I stuck my hand out toward him, and he looked at me with abominable eyes and laughed at me speaking coldly without even glancing at me.

I’m not happy that he had no sense of duty but I was a little bit proud of his efforts and achievements.

‘I can’t believe I didn’t get a word of thanks for releasing his curse.’

The difficult task was almost over now, as the palace was carefully designed so that no one could interfere with the process of the curse.

I was glad that I could finally shake my hand from this. Now I will be able to live my life without worrying about death.

When I switch back to my original body after completing my task, I plan to get closer to all the younger men who were like flowers to heal my tender heart that Derek had been poking up.

‘My father will be happy. He was afraid I’d become the crown princess.’

I started picking up clothes that fell on the floor to leave the room while Derek was sleeping. They were still in good condition as the day before, even though he had torn them off.

When I picked up the large dress and stood in front of the mirror, Derek’s body, which was illuminated by the moonlight, caught my eye.

There was no flesh in the enormous physique that stood up to the threat of assassination and countless battles. He was so sculpted that even passers-by would turn around to see him once or twice.

As I moved a little, the muscles that were wrapped tightly around his skeleton shook naturally, revealing a wide chest and thick flexion of the arms.

His blue eyes could be seen through his black hair. His eyes reminded me of a predator who survived alone and roared on a cliff.

He was a handsome man, even in the dark moonlight, and it wouldn’t be easy getting him to fall for this face, but Derek was a man who worked hard.

‘I’d rather keep my mouth shut.’

I frowned at the thought of his evil words that broke my heart. I opened my shirt and found a small fingernail mark on my neck as I tried to put on my shirt.

It happened a few hours ago when I scratched him, unable to bear the rush of pleasure.

“…”

The moment I mixed my body with him as if covering an ink bottle. The moment ate into my mind.

It all started when he came to my room.
