Brunette hair with auburn highlights and green slanted eyes glaring at you for every second. The dangerously pallid complexion of his skin was vast.
She caught sight of an intangible but visible presence of a man inside her room after dozing off a bit. Be clothed in a royal mantle, and thick fur with diamonds as emblems welded on the clothing. Bent over her knees, and pegged her to the ground. As a result, she was unable to do anything.
She decided to cry out for help and utter its name. As it said, call his name whenever in trouble and CP would be there to the rescue. After a few times of verbalizing mad as a hatter, her voice became hoarse. Another trouble was His Royal Highness, Diakon Eliades Sardounis.
The words blurted out of her mouth soon burst out of his. Mimicking her without ceasing and her ears suffered the best of it in a twinkling of an eye.
CP as in Cutie Pie, I was calling that lil' robot of mine!
Its name doubles the trouble coming to her. She was just sleeping a while ago yet, this guy came charging in.
Dae Yeong Bank Institute, where Byeon Ah-hwa usually works over time, and surely loves being paid for being overtime. A workaholic without any disturbance from anything until the day before yesterday.
Her friend recommended her the novel entitled "A Baroness's Fairytale" which was written by Kang Soo-na, a popular RomFan writer from Gyeonggi, the most populous province in South Korea and therefore was nicknamed "The province surrounding Seoul."
RomFan is the combination of romance and fantasy.
She reads the novel on weekends. She also decides to leave when there is no specific work to be done and began binging the book for several hours.
Days ago, she was hooked up with some extra work and was taking morning and night shifts. Her boss gave her few loan application forms and her eyes felt exhausted by this sight.
In order to disconnect to reality, she requested for adding more and more until the work was finished, the sun has set and the moon has gone its way to the middle of the sky. As to see this sight, you would know it is already the time of midnight.
Both of them left without a single mouth wide open. When they were farther from each other, they yawned nonstop. They heard each other yawning as their heads turn back in sync and felt a slight awkwardness in between.
Whilst walking with a huge amount of drowsiness, she just remembered the novel which Jeong Mae-ri urged her to read while she was in a real fuss, working with persistence.
She said a lot of words, which certainly wasn't taken sincerely by her. Loads of work need no distractions and she wouldn't let herself be disturbed by some inconsequential conversation.
No offense to Mae-ri unnie...
However, she does recall its title and especially the writer of the novel. She has been a famous writer ever since the beginning of this year. This book is one of her latest and the most loved by people.
Nefeli Regas Bakirtzis soon became the Archduchess, the radiating beauty of the baroness wearing a white long gown, strode under the aisle. The aisle had vines around them. An enlightening flash from the vibrant colors of red clothed walkway.
Nefeli lead to the altar as the smiles of the people caught her eyes, which made her pause for a moment. Achilles gradually turned impatient. He approached her, and the bottom portion of the gown drifted on the walkway, carrying her in his arms.
So lovey-dovey! Kyaaah!
The skies soon cried, love surely do falls like rain.
After the grey skies turned blue, the priest thereafter announced Achilles Eliades Leventis and Nefeli Regas Bakirtzis to tie the knot.
Baroness Nefeli together with Achilles betokened as Archduke and Archduchess of Vadimir. She is now addressed as Her Majesty, Nefeli Bakirtzis Leventis and after two years.
"Acki oppa!" Calling out for the attention of Achilles, she screamed aloud. A face as red as a cherry and a smile pulled upwards to the cheeks appeared in front of His Majesty.
Instead of his husband getting her attention, the crowd did and asked following the etiquette- bowing before Her Majesty.
"Your Majesty, is Acki a new word for Honey?"
"It is His Majesty's nickname,"
"This may sound offensive to Her Majesty, cannot Her Majesty call His Majesty yeobo since Their Majesties are already married," she suggested, emphasizing the words set in italics.
"Well... then... Yeo- yeobo~"
"Yeobo~" He responded with an affectionate smile that made Her feel ticklish.
The Kingdom of Vadimir never had this peace over the years and this once, they felt rest assured with the two being their ruler. The citizens also had a fair share of resources in the Kingdom. The love in the kingdom was widespread and forever shall be.
A Baroness's Fairytale ends here, a novel written by Kang Soo-na. Edited by Cha Sul-hyeok from Citrus Publish, A Publishing House located in Gyeonggi, South Korea.
Flap- flap- She flapped the last two pages of the book and thump- placed it on the table. She had finished the book at midnight after she left the office with her boss.
She felt asleep and decided to go to bed. The cricket's chirp was the loudest noise she had ever heard since then. Her arms and body just flop onto the soft cloak blankets and cottony pillows for her head to land on in a daze.
She had slept soundly.
The sun rays slowly filtered through the windows, softly infuriating her eyes, she shoved the curtains against them. It was unfortunate that the curtains were translucent. Her eyes opened and bags were under them. They were indeed deep.
She swiftly put on her slippers and went for a wash in the bathroom. Got the toothbrush from the upper shelf at the right corner of the wall and squeezed on some toothpaste in a shape of a pea.
Not a perceivable size...
She added some more and missed the spot by mistake. The toothpaste from the brush fell off. To the ground it went and was smudged on the ground by her feet's restlessness.
She squeezed the toothpaste again, assuring the most perceivable size, and looked into the mirror. Her bags weren't deep but deeper than the ocean's floor. She took a quick bath and put on her clothes for work.
Grabbed the door knob and propelled the door to the back. She welcomed the sun after opening the door. Heads down as the sun rays were infuriating her eyes.
She held her bag by the handle on her shoulders while her hands were placed somewhere on her forehead. She headed to her workplace by foot and miraculously arrived on time. She felt relieved that the tardiness was away.
She settled down on her seat nearby her desk. Jeong Mae-ri handed her a cup of coffee as she drunk her cup of americano.
It was quarter past seven as the hands of the clock said. She felt asleep again which caused her to slap herself a hundred times. She snoozed for a bit since her boss has not arrived yet.
"HI!"
"I AM CP!"
She discovered herself dreaming about a robot and abruptly tried to find a mechanism inside the robot because she taught it was an acronym for cellular phone.
"AN ACRONYM FOR CUTIE PIE!" it yelped. She was shocked for a second and at the next moment, she laughed aloud. Her stomach was dying from the wonderful laughter.
"YOUR DEATH HAS YET FETCH YOU,"
"SOON,"
An ominous yet weird silence wandered around them. The atmosphere changed so sudden that the little robot said its last words before she woke up.
"CALL MY NAME WHENEVER YOU ARE IN TROUBLE AND CUTIE PIE WILL BE THERE TO HELP YOU!"
She was still stuck on her own world and got herself startled when Cutie Pie spanked her buttocks and there, she returned to reality. Awaken by a sudden move from Mae-ri, who was on top of her desk.
Reading another RomFan novel entitled "Marry Thy Opponent" written by Kang Soo-na as the cover implied. It was the second season of Parallel.
"Sleep if you must. You overworked yourself last night."
Mae-ri aid her mind with touching words as she pat her head gently and caressed her hair with her fingers from the end to her scalp. Byeon Ah-hwa already knew her state. A half-awake and half-asleep condition and thus, she continued to sleep as long as the boss was not present.
She bolted up from a deep slumber as her ears pricked up the usual voice you hear in the office. The branch manager has appeared rather late who she called the boss from the beginning.
"You guys can take a week off," he abruptly said.
Workers were indeed very aghast by the sudden overwhelming event. It was eight in the morning howbeit it seemed peculiarly dark as if she showed up unreasonably early.
She regards as this as a heavenly blessing because she have yet to grip on at least a single beauty of sleep since adulthood came in.
In conclusion, she was aware of being sleep-deprived for the past few days. She planned to sleep until she set foot on her final destination.
The deathbed...
Dun—
—Dun
Dun—
—Dun
Just kidding!
As much as she can recall, she took a leave for a few days and then, a week off is going on.
All of a sudden, the branch manager asserted another financial business overseas and employees must provide a clear understanding of the upcoming seminar on the web.
Oh...
An improbable sanity was her reaction.
Banking would be ongoing and transactions would be conducted electronically via the internet. The bank workers merely had an access to a brief astonishment and it was also mere seconds for them to get rid of.
She graduated from college just recently and the degree which she had taken was finance.
A bachelor's degree in finance is usually the most common requirement to pursue a career in this field of work. This degree must be performed for four years and can also prepare you with the basic fundamentals, which are considered essential factors in being a finance professional.
Obtaining your bachelor's degree in finance also allows you to further your education to advance your career later on if you choose to do so. After completing a bachelor's degree in finance, you are qualified to pursue a master's degree in finance. This degree takes two years to complete and expands upon the fundamentals of finance by focusing on specialized areas of finance.
There are several reasons for Byeon Ah-hwa to take this degree in her last eight semesters. These skills you acquire can help you grow on both a professional and personal level.
Both degrees can lead you to positions in investment banking and corporate finance. MBA programs have a broader management focus with an emphasis on leadership, while an MS degree enhances your knowledge and skills in specific areas which then, in turn, enhances your career and job potential in that specific area.
A career in commercial banking provides a variety of financial services such as savings accounts, checking accounts, and multiple loan options. There is a lot of room for growth within commercial banking as many begin their careers as bank tellers and move up to become branch managers.
And...
Money!

A Baroness's Fairytale
mjanwu2008xin
The average payment for each bank worker varies, as they had chosen different spots in commercial banking.
As for bank tellers, Byeon Ah-hwa is being paid for three to four million Won a month. An estimated price range in the US would be three to four thousand dollars.
If we're talking about annual payment in their province in Korea, Gyeongsangbuk would mostly pay up to sixty to seventy million Won, equivalent to fifty-three thousand dollars in US currencies.
You would prefer Byeon Ah-hwa as herself in reserved times, being silly and stuff. Without a doubt, nothing would ever reform her self-indulgent nature. However, she would do so if and only if it was for such situations.
Just when she got her hand a grip on the handle of the door, the entrance and was also the exit of the Dae Yeong Bank Institute, a gloomy sky welcomed her beforehand.
The branch manager was also about to get out hence, she stepped aside and bowed. As it happens frequently, he left right before she even stand up and pose a ta-ta.
Set foot upon the grounds, the clouds began falling tears which they may have kept for a long time by themselves. Cry as you can!
In an instant, she thought the drastic side of hers sensing such novelty. She raised the zipper, and exert some pressure for it to unfasten.
As she inserted her hands inside her bag and dug through her goods and chattels, she got a hold of an object, felt as flat as a pancake.
It was an unduly familiar feeling, causing her to wonder whether those were some paperwork. Burying those tiresomely habitual thoughts away, she tried to look for an umbrella inside her bag if there was any. She knew she brought one since she has been used to the daily life in Gyeongsangbuk.
The climate widely corresponds to Central European weather conditions. It is cold and wet, few beautiful summer months happen during the year. Due to the warmer temperatures, the best time for traveling is from June to September. Nearly unattractive for tourists are the cold months from November to March.
It's the month of May, the fifteenth of May to be exact. May is the fifth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the third of seven months to have a length of 31 days.
Under the grey skies of Gyeongsangbuk, the clouds were indeed deeply immersed, while she perceived the inadequacy of hers, building such empathy in-between nature and man.
She went ahead the path she took to her house and glanced at the back, the houses were somewhat farther away despite them being within one's reach. She just concluded altogether that the frequency of hallucinations was increasing rapidly once in a while, because of sleep deprivation.
She faltered on the road, as she exhaust herself trying to look for the keys inside her bag. Her head was about to explode from the recent occurrence of stuff related to work and her lifestyle. She is well-informed of events and casual affairs, as the branch manager was as well. He had worked for dozens of hours in the office, analyzing and checking their client's accounts.
She leaned over the door, reversed her pose to carry her bag behind her back from being held by her shoulders. She struggled to unlatch the door of her house and in spite of that she unlocked it finally after finding the right key.
Earlier, she was at a loss for being capable of finding a bunch of keys from her bag right away. As to clumsily let the first key she saw, unlock the locked doorknob and was hardly paying attention to the other keys, she struggled because of that.
The first key was the key to her bedroom and the third key which she attempted to use for the door of her house was the key of destiny. Simply saying, this key and the door of her house matched.
I was stupid.
She got inside her house and slam shut the door behind her. Loads of work are up ahead!
She unlocked the latched door, arming the first key at her hand, and settled down on the seat beside her desk. Propped her chin into the palm of her right hand withal.
Laying her right hand above the sloped surface of the writing desk, her work surface typically comes with drawers containing pens, papers, et cetera.
She crossed her legs. Her left leg underneath her right leg. Placed my chin into the palm of the other hand. She drragged the drawer open and grabbed her laptop. She set it onto her table and waited for it to load as it was shut down for a long time.
As the screen appeared and welcome the user;
Ding!
어서 오십시오!
[변아화]
She felt an intense radiation and covered her eyes with both hands in an immediate response. She rubbed it because of pain rushing through the nerves inside her eyes. She glanced at a mirror by chance, it was red. It was bright red!
Despite it, she continued to click an icon on the monitor with the mouse by her right.
Click!
She was trying to find the link if it was sent on the group chat or their page online. Scrolled down the screen until she got a concentrated aim on something.
https://www...[text]...
The link for the upcoming seminar on the web, as mentioned by their branch manager earlier. She clicked on it as fast as a peregrine falcon would fly and another page popped out immediately.
She turned off the cameras and the microphone to be able to listen to the hosts and not interrupt their discussion on financial businesses. The host wasn't presenting yet perhaps they were waiting for another group of people to join the meeting online.
After ten minutes or so, the hosts began presenting their screen to the audience watching and listening online.
The meeting was being recorded as she saw a red bar with that word inside on top of the screen. The chat column was instantly flooded by lots of greetings, such as a good afternoon, an utterance of hellos from multiple people, and more. The screen presented an attendance chart which you may consider, a bar graph.
It was split into different categories, SK National Bank, Hayan Standard KB, Dae Yeong Bank Institute, and Woo Shin Financial Group. There appeared a link called menti.com and asked them to click it.
A line of numbers was visible under the screen, inside the chatbox, it was the code for them to be able to attend and be recognized as present. Dae Yeong Bank Institute's bar has increased one worker, as she submitted her attendance online on the website of menti.com and so does the other financial services.
She noted every single thing heard from the discussion, summarized, and analyzed them all together once the meeting finished. She dozed off a bit then, slapped herself to avoid being affected by her lethargy. The chatbox once again overflow with sentences and phrases from attendees, implying farewell.
She uttered farewell as well.
The raindrops on the roof were soothing to hear, it seems less heavy than earlier. It was merely a slight drizzle, which lasted for a short amount of time.
She squinted at the mirror behind her seat again and thoroughly observed her eyes with the innermost beliefs triggering a nugatory uneasiness.
Traced her wrinkles and lines beside her eyelid and beneath the glands of my eyes. She stretched her eyelids downwards to be capable of taking a peek inside her aching eyes. She noticed that her eyes were red even until now.
She rushed up to stand and get a hold of her comb above her work surface. She combed her frizzy hair and indulge her scalp by the teeth of the comb. Be surrounded by harmony, her dark brown hair got inside of her mouth by accident.
She was chewing and licking every strand. The dirty hands of hers were sandwiched between her tongue to eject her hair from the inside and placed it back where it was and should be.
Success!
She had placed it back outside. She put down the comb on her work surface after fixing her hair. The wind was definitely at its limit for she felt colder which caused her to wrap herself up in thick cloth. The fleece blanket by her hand as she lied down the bed and slept.
She suddenly heard a knock. She opened the door immediately to take a peek at who was there. The windowsill was somewhat hazy because of the rain which was dripping from the sky, causing her to be unable to see through them.
Jeong Mae-ri was there, she was as drunk as a skunk. She ambled tipsy to her and faced her with her lips reaching Byeon Ah-hwa's.
Such a gross scene...
She summoned her to go outside as to guide her while she was intoxicated. A shot of alcohol were drunk by her, as Mae-ri's hands were not willing to leave and she kept on offering her another after another.
She kindly accepted it until they were both dead drunk. Her sight was blurry on the way to Mae-ri's house. All the other in between remained unknown.
It seemed someone was carrying Ah-hwa though she was incapable of recognizing him. She snored and felt her throat longing for life. The alcohol had a very strong flavor.
It was a pretty marvelous sight to be seen.
Chandeliers were dim, emitting an orange-like light. A bed as huge as the living room she had. The curtains were down to seal away the sunlight, and she was curled up in a ball in the middle of her bed with her back to the door.
The wall was just like a depth of water, only colored in extravagant creme and the width was very clear and wide.
I wasn't comfortable at all...
Wearing a tight dress, it was short and was revealing her fair skin. She was flustered by the fact that she had fair skin.
A man came up to her and faced her. He suddenly disrobe himself and said "My queen, are you ready?"
He approached Ah-hwa with a grin on his face and stopped.
"Hmm... where should I begin?"
He put his robe onto the clothes valet and placed his chin between his fingers, ogling her body.
She was blankly staring at the ceiling voids of the room, confused as he began linking his lips on her neck. The words inside her head were unable to exit out of her mouth. She was incapable of sensing such a strange hunch.
The Second Crown Prince Of Tuvinid, son of the Archduke Cletus Fotos Sardounis, His Royal Highness Diakon Eliades Sardounis!
On the end, she was no longer Byeon Ah-hwa since she wished herself to be her.
