Les Marionnettes || ONC 2025
Ruhani has one goal in life: to unveil her mother's secrets. But what about an unforgiving world that believes in trading them rather than plain old stumbling upon one? When she travels to 1940s Rangoon, she must fulfil her responsibilities as a marionette, but everything isn't simple enough when everyone is busy tearing her skin apart to hide their own scars. In a desperate attempt, she ends up signing a deal that asks her for more than she could ever fathom. The worst part? She proposed it. Keiyoushi Monbatsu, promisee of the said deal, is out to get her under his thumb and extend Japanese ambitions despite the political developments between India and Burma. In the geopolitics of World War II, the one who controls all secrets begins treading on the path to become one himself.𖤓 Open Novella Contest 2025𖤓 𖤓 Prompts 31, 110, 126 𖤓::♛:: Featured in Blue Bird Awards | "👁️ Mindbending Mysteries 𖦹ׂ ₊˚⊹⋆ "The story is available exclusively on Wattpad, and remember that plagiarism is illegal.…
