SELENA’S POV
I already got back at the estate this morning, Flora jumped into me the moment she saw me at the entrance, the head butler cried out and can full a bucket. I told them that I want to go straight into my room because I still feel dizzy after a long ride. But, to be honest, that was just an excuse. When the carriage we were riding arrived at the estate, he said something before I got off.
“See you again, Lady Ascania.” He said it to me while giving me an evil look, it gave me a shiver through my bones, I immediately jump off the carriage.
What does he think he’s doing?! doing something inappropriate in broad daylight! He didn’t do that in the game! SO WHY?! it is so frustrating! AHHH! I keep on punching and kicking my pillows all around, when Flora came into the room she brought me some tea to make myself refresh and calm. I even ask her to wrapped in a bandage to where he bit me. is he a dog? why does he do such a thing if he didn’t have feelings for me? or is this a warning? Oh no!
“Milady did the crown prince did this to you?” Flora is moving her face towards me with a cat’s face. She somehow looks like a paparazzi in the real world. I got confused about what she is thinking about the mark on my wrist, I gave her a strange look and sighed.
“Stop asking a question and hurry. I don’t want anyone to see this mark on my hand. They might start a rumor again.” I said.
“Milady seems like the prince is finally showing interest in you” Interest? what do you mean interest? more like he wants to pin me down to kill me. This is not showing interest this is more like a warning!
“Flora, not a chance! I knew a lot of people and I know that he does not like me, not even the slightest, so stop that fantasy of yours because he and I will never end up together. Just like I said this engagement will soon end.” I said firmly.
“You know a lot of people milady?” Eek! I sometimes forgot that I am not Katrina.
“Uhm…yeah…I mean…at the academy, yes!”
“Oh, I see…” I pretend to laugh about it, while Flora is wrapping my wrist with a bandage, she seems to be down, but a while ago she is so energetic, but now…wonder what is the problem?
“Flora…?”
“I…I got so worried about you, Milady…*sob* when the duke and the young master came home without you and they were covered with blood…*sob* I’ve got so scared…they…immediately called our resident doctor and drag him to the palace…*sob sob*…the head butler said that you got injured…wahhh! ” That’s right, I made everyone worried about me, I was being too reckless that time, but…I couldn’t help it. Because of Yohan…he is…
“I prayed and prayed all day and all night to Goddess of Moon that you will be okay *sob sob* The duke and the young master were so worried about you, they didn’t sleep at all.” What? so father…he and Tristan…they were…worried about me…Impossible to think that Tristan was worried about me, he didn’t even think of me as her sister at all. He loathes me.
“Milady, *sob sob* promise me one thing, please.” I looked at Flora’s crying face that looked at me so seriously all of a sudden.
“Promise?…”
“That you won’t do anything reckless again. I swore in my family’s name that I will never leave your side and will serve you until the day I die. The day you opened your eyes and gave me a warm smile and treated me like your own friend, I told myself that I will never leave you or turn my back on you.” I was touched by Flora’s words. But her kind words are not meant for me but for Selena, if Selena knows how Flora cares about her, she might treat her well and they might become friends. My eyes are wide open and my heart feels like I am in the clouds. How could I deserve these people to be in my life?
“Flora…” I was touched but at the same time, I felt guilt, for taking the life of Selena and looking at Flora, I truly don’t belong here.
“People didn’t know the truth about you, but I know. you are a sweet, kind, caring, beautiful, and warm-hearted person. You are not what people think of you, they see you like that, but deep inside I know that the sweet, kind and lady that gave warm smiles that I met that day is still inside of you.” Did Flora meet Selena that was not mentioned in the game at all, is this even part of the game?
“I met you since you were a little. My mother told me that from now on, I will be serving the only daughter of the duke but I didn’t know what my master looks like. I went here and saw a little kid who is younger than me playing in the garden while wearing a flower crown on her head, and holding a yellow flower in her hand. I saw her back, her hair colors of violet that look so smooth and that shines brightly under the ray of the sun, then she turned around when my mother called her name, she shouted, Miss Selena. The closer that little child came to us, the more I was fascinated by her beauty. She introduces me to that kid, at first I thought that when you see me you will be cautious about me, however, that is not what happens. You gave me a warm smile and gave me the flowers that you picked. Then that moment, I was already captivated by you and swore in my family’s name that I will serve you for eternity.” I…I was speechless…I didn’t know that Flora and Selena had a deep kind of relationship. the moment that I got reincarnated at Selena’s body, I remembered all of her memories but looks like she doesn’t have any memories of her childhood, because I couldn’t remember what Flora was saying about their first meeting. How in the world…
“Flora…you…” Flora still crying in front of me and her hands are shaking and her body is trembling. I stretched my hand to her and touch her warm face and lifted it to look at me then I wiped her tears.
“Thank you, Flora…and I am sorry for making you worried about me…all I did was to bring problems to everyone that I…please stop crying, you are making me cry too, Come here.” I hugged Flora and pat her back, then she returned my hug. We hugged each other in this big room. Two young girls are crying and felt so helpless. You must get hold of yourself, Selena, this is not the time for you to worry about the prince, you have given a second life and people to cherish. Let’s forget about what happened between me and the prince, let’s just say that because of the atmosphere that is why he did that.
Someone knocked on the door, and break our hug. Flora and I looked at each other and wonder who it was, So Flora opened the door and was surprised at what she saw behind the door.
“Flora, what’s wrong?” I asked.
“Y-y-young master!” Young master? Tristan? what is he doing here?
“I see that you already came.” He said, still having that poker and serious face, I still don’t know what was he was thinking about and always wearing that kind of face.
“Yes, young master.Thank you for visiting me at this time. What makes you visit me at this hour? aren’t you supposed to be at the Academy?” I bowed down and didn’t look into his eyes, because whenever I looked at his eyes he always frowns. So, to avoid making him angry at me, I won’t look at his eyes.
“Tch.” Tsk? did…he just click his tongue at me?…this little!
“You must not attend the Academy tomorrow.” Huh? EHHH!
“wh-what do you mean? I do not have to attend the Academy tomorrow?” I am confused about what he said.
“I mean what I have said.” He said. He didn’t explain what he means…ugh, this is getting on my nerves. I clenched my fist and my blood boils in irritation. Why does he like to be like this? keeping a wall between us as if I did something wrong, and didn’t give me a clear explanation whenever he opens his mouth, Like when he visited me at the palace, I asked about our father but he said the father was busy because of his endeavors, am I nothing to this house and in your eyes? I immediately got off my bed because I have to say the things on my mind, I have to do this…if this will make him understand me then I have to do this.
“Young master, I would like to speak to you before you leave.” I looked into his eyes with confidence and blazing passion in my heart, I stand firmly in front of him for him to understand what I about to say.
“Speak,” He said as if I am one of his servants.
“If this your way of preventing me from the public’s eye because I, once again tarnished the name of Ascania, then I repent about it, I will follow the penalty that is suitable for me, however, this all I asking for…to let me attend the Academy.” I looked straight into his and didn’t waver my feelings, I know that they know Selena as a brat and good-for-nothing daughter and spoiled brat of Ascania. However, I need to keep my future to have brightful tomorrow, I couldn’t control the changes that happen in this game but then, I wouldn’t allow myself to be killed again for some unreasonable death.
I want to finish my studies, by then, I will leave this place and have a life that is suitable for someone like me. So, to have a better future, I must graduate and take this opportunity that I have as a daughter of a duke. Selena may not be worried about her life, but I do and I am doing this for our life.
“What do you mean?” He said.
“I want to finish my studies at the academy, I will accept any punishment that you will be given to me but I wouldn’t agree if you will not allow me to attend the Academy. I am doing this not just for the name of our family, but also I am doing for myself. I will never let anyone stepped on me as if I am dirt of this family. I do not know why you are angry at me, but let me do this, please, I promise that I will never show myself to you at the academy if that is what you want and pretend that I do not know you, since you’ve been doing that to me since we were little.” I confidently said at his face, to be honest, I am quite angry at him because he acts as if I am not here, he pretends that he doesn’t have a sister, then if this what he wants then I will gladly accept it, but I won’t accept if he prevents me to keep on attending the Academy.
After what I said to him, he became so quiet, the room was filled with awkward silence. Oh no! did I just stepped on the mine? am I being too ahead of myself?
“What made you change like that?” He asked. when I looked into his eyes which I couldn’t explain what it is the meaning of that expression but for me, all I think about is he is worried or lonely. but why?
“I-I am not obligated to explain myself further with you young master, since both of you and I don’t have that kind of relationship. I already said what I want to say, I will speak to our father personally when he comes back. If you excuse me, I would like to rest, my body is not yet completely healed by the poison.” I instructed Flora that Tristan is about to leave and prepare me a warm bath. After our sibling confrontation, it seems like our relation as a sibling really fall out. I want to mend things between us, but it seems like it is impossible at this rate…haaaa, I must be getting ahead of myself having the thought that we stepped move forward but that is only my imagination. Ugh! why is this so complicated? I wonder what makes Selena’s brother hate her so much? I don’t see that Tristan as a bad person it’s just that, what is the meaning of his expression a while ago? this is so confusing. I know Selena has a temper but, I know she doesn’t have the will to hurt her flesh and blood, no matter how villain she became.
“Flora, where did Father go?” I asked Flora after she closes the door, still, the fear on her face won’t fade away.
“His grace was currently at the palace, I heard from Sebastian that his grace will be back tonight, why do you ask Milady?”
“Hm? Nothing, I should probably visit the library and open some books.”
“EHHH?! But, Milady you just arrived and you need to rest and recover your strength.” What a worrywart. I want to rest, but laying down won’t do me anything, Maybe this is what they called occupation disorder. well, back in the days in the real world I have nothing to do but to make sure to finish everything that my professors asked for, those deadlines, projects, assignments, and exams took me all night without sleep, ugh! remembering it makes my head hurts.
“You don’t have to worry Flora.” Now that I met the third male lead, I have to ensure my safety. Yohan is strong, a genius magician in the empire. While I was staying at the palace, Yohan treated my body every day and yet we spoke only a little, I was trying to converse in conversation with him but it seems like he is on guard whenever he is around me, well, I expected that already. Knowing the back story of Yohan, I understand why he is not fond of nobles. When he was little he was sold to slavery.
While I was reading the book that I was holding, I kept on thinking Yohan, I mean, he has quite awkward or shy if I say. I sighed and then Flora got worried again so she asked me if I want to rest, but I said I’m fine. I want to know more about Yohan, so asking Flora might answer my question.
“Oh, Flora, Do you perhaps know Yohan?”
“The genius and strongest magician at the empire? yes, of course, Milady, not only he is known as a magician but he was also known as one of the handsome men in the empire and many ladies are fallen deeply with that magician boy…why do you ask Milady? are you perhaps…?” Flora looked at me with weird eyes, I know what she meant by that gaze.
“It’s not like that, Flora…I was just curious about him, he was the one who treated me while I was staying at the palace, although he was the one who treated me we didn’t even talk that much and I didn’t get a chance to say thank you for treating my body…” Yohan’s past is something that I couldn’t imagine. He was sold to slavery, and nobles did some cruel things to him which I don’t know because the game didn’t explain what are those cruel happenings in his life except that scar, which made Yohan makes his anger even bigger not only to nobles but also to people that surrounds him.
I already told myself that I won’t be involved with those male leads, but how can I leave someone who is alone and in pain? and of all people I know how painful to be alone and to feel pain when no one knows your scars in your heart, I’ve been through what they been through, the loneliness and the suffering of people’s expectations and glares. I tried to avoid it but whenever I tried the more they come closer and catches me and holds me so tight with those dark and black terrifying hands and eyes and dragging me down to the deepest part of myself. Thinking about it, Selena and I somehow the same, we live to the expectation of others so in the end we are left alone.
“Milady, excuse me for my rudeness but, you have a visitor.” A servant came in at the library and told me that I have a visitor. That’s rare, I don’t expect any visitor at this moment, who that might be?
“She said that she was your friend at the Academy, she goes by the name of Julie.” Julie?! she is here? I immediately stood to my chair and ordered the servant to let her in and take her to the Drawing room.
“Bring her immediately at the drawing-room, I will be there.”
“Yes, Milady.” After the servant leaves the library, Flora looked at me as if she couldn’t believe that someone at the Academy will come to visit me, well, don’t look at me like that Flora because I am just like you, I was surprised too.
“Flora, prepare tea and biscuits at the drawing-room”
“Yes, Milady.” After I told her to prepare us refreshments, I immediately went to the drawing-room to where is Julie is. When I ran towards the room and immediately opened it, I saw Julie was sitting on the couch so nervously, Heh. Seriously, this girl what makes her so nervous to make her whole body shaking.
“Julie.” When I called her name, her face lights up, then she runs towards me and wrapped me with her arm, and cried, Deja Vu.
“M-m-MILADY!!! I am so glad you are alright. I was so worried about you when I heard about what happened at the Palace. I wish and prayed that you are not involved in any harm but sir Johaness confirmed that you got…got…AHHHHH!!!!” my ears are ringing. But, I let Julie cry for a while then I suggested that we should take a seat for us to have a decent conversation because at this rate she might pass out from crying, Even when we sat down she is still crying and couldn’t herself from crying so hard, she is like a whimpering infant.
“Julie, I am fine. You could stop crying now.” I comforted her at her back and yet her tears won’t stop.
“I went to the palace…even though I know that only authorized people are allowed to enter the premises…still, I tried…I was so worried about you…sir Johannes told me that you already opened your eyes and I was so happy that I could die from happiness…Miss, Thank goodness…thank goodness…you came back” She holds my hands while she is shaking. I could tell how worried she was when I was bedridden at the palace. I heard that, after the incident, they didn’t allow anyone to enter the palace, only those who are authorized are allowed to enter and have a purpose for the emperor.
“Julie, I am very sorry if I didn’t get to tell you” She kept on crying and I don’t how to make her stop. her eyes are starting to swell. Oh! I know, since tomorrow I will be going back to the Academy, might as well, take this opportunity to go outside. Since it’s been one week since I was lying on the bed and my body started to sore, I need some exercise.
“How about this Julie?”
“Hm?”
“Let’s go together at the plaza and buy some stuff, this will be our first date.” She tilted her head at me and I just laugh about it. When we are already inside the carriage, Flora is with us as well, although bringing her along and making her agree to let us out make us so difficult at first.
well…Before going out…
“What? Milady, you just got back and you already want to go outside? the doctors already said that you mustn’t restraint your body too much, what if there is something that happens to you while you are outside? what if you got stabbed or what if you collapsed and what if-!” -Flora
“Floraaaaa, stop for a while and let me speak. We are just going to have some fresh air at the plaza, And besides Yohan told me that I can move freely although not too much. And another thing, you are coming with us. Take this as my compensation to you and Julie, how about that?” -Selena
“But the Lord said-“-Flora
“We will be back soon, I promise. please?”
Then that’s it. I used my charm to charm Flora to make her agree in going to the plaza, although I said that I will be fine and be alright. After we arrived at the plaza, there are a lot of people roaming around and buying things and food. I feel like I belong here. We went to a different store and tried different tasty sweets. I had a great time with Julie and Flora. Time passed by it is already afternoon and the sun will soon be set, but here we are at the La Créme Sweet where the famous and delicious pastries are found. While I was playing the game this is one of my wish to taste one of these pastries and I feel like I am in heaven! oh God! this is so delicious! especially this Choco Caramel Pudding! kyaaa!
“Miss Selena, I truly want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for this day, I never had one like this.” Julie is again exaggerating things while she is saying those words her eyes are sparkling and both hands are together like praying to some God, well not only Julie but also Flora. They somehow put me in an awkward place, although this is not bad at all, I have friends to lean on, talk to, and have fun together.
“Well, well, what we have here? Lady Ascania.” Someone just broke our peaceful moment and I wonder who that might be, When we turned our direction at the right side we saw a lady wearing full red from head to toe dress as if she is on the red flag, and I got distracted bout’ the ornament on her head, is that a red feather? She is smiling at us, and I already know who this might be, Madame Red.
“A brightful afternoon to you Madame. My apologies if I didn’t saw you there. forgive my lack of manners. I am still learning” I gave courtesy in front of her as well as Flora and Julie for they also know Madame Red is someone precious and yet elegant noble lady in the high noble society, she is an important noblewoman, people called her the Gem of Ruby for her love for the color red. She was mention in the game as one that helps Adelia on becoming the empress. I don’t want to make a problem between us in the future or even now. Even she looks so serious and gave a devil smile to the others, deep inside she has a very gentle and nice personality, which makes her husband fall over heels to her.
“Oh my, It is alright. How are you? I heard what happened at the party.”
“I am quite alright, I was just here with my friends spending my time with them.”
“Oh my, how lovely. The rumors I heard about you seem to be wrong.” Well, it is not entirely wrong, Selena has a temper that no one could handle, and at the same time, no one knows how lonely she is and no one could understand her. If I want to redeem myself in the public, I must start with Madame Red.
“What you heard is not wrong, Madame,” I said.
“Hm?” She must be testing me while looking at me as if I am an ant. Well, I won’t let my fear overcome me, I face this gaze back in the days, that’s why I am used to it. Those eyes judge the person within through its heart and soul.
“To be honest, I do not know if I deserve the forgiveness of the people, I know I did a lot of mistakes and will continue to make mistakes and made people suffer and cry. I wasn’t aware of their feelings, I was being selfish and at the same time, childish. Then, I realized, that is not what kind of life I want. I want a life that full of happiness, full of adventure, and full of love. People may not believe me but that’s alright, I know the reason for that. And I know that there are people who won’t forgive me for my actions before, but I am glad that there are people who still want to trust and forgive me for what I did to them, that’s why I want to cherish them.” When I said the last words I look at Flora and Julie and smile and they smile back at me. What I said was the truth, I don’t care if they won’t forgive me but what is important for me is to prove to them that I want to change and gave me another chance to redeem myself, to redeem Selena. That’s what all matters.
Madame Red stood in her chair and went to our table while holding her fan that is also color in red. I don’t know what she will do to me she was just standing at the side and then she slightly raised her skirt by her right hand and her left-hand place on her chest, she gave courtesy that usually that kind of gesture is to give respect to any royal family and holds a high status but…to someone like me? It brings me to surprised by what she did.
“It is an honor to meet such a young lady like you Lady Ascania, I will send a letter myself to the duke and I hope I received a positive reply, I can’t wait for us to meet again, Milady.” What she did in front of us brought uproar at the whole place where surrounds a lot of noble ladies from different houses. Madame Red was not just Gem of Ruby for no reason, she is a noblewoman who holds an extremely strict disposition with regards to manners, etiquette, and elegance of a noble lady. Some said that she was the one who taught the last empress how to be a proper empress and serve people of this empire and I heard at the Academy, that they tried to ask countless times for Madame Red to become their teacher but she firmly declined, for the reason that I don’t know. But her last words before she left brought me to curiosity, what does she meant by she will deliver a letter to father? What if I said something that is not right and she will go to tell the duke about it, OH NO! MY PEACEFUL LIFE!
“Oh my! Milady did you see what did Madame Red did?! she was the noblewoman that only bows in front of the empress, even though that she is strict with regards to etiquette, she wouldn’t just bow down or gave courtesy to anyone.” Flora’s eyes are sparkling like a star which same goes for Julie.
“She is right, Miss! a lot of noble ladies tried to ask for her hand but no one could ever win over her. She holds a strict disposition and yet she manages to compose herself as elegant as she could. It’s been a while since she will be teaching a noble lady and that noble lady is you, miss.” Julie and Flora are amazed by what Madame Red did, but how about me? I think my red blood will flow through the ground because she will send a complaint to my father. ahh, I already see my soul flying towards heaven.
“Lady Ascania, What a surprise to saw Madame Red gave courtesy to you, she must be close to you, are you going to be Madame Red student?”
“She must be, she is the highest candidate for the seat of the empress.”
“Madame Red’s teaching is very strict and…”
Ugh! After what happened at the store, a lot of ladies came to me that I didn’t even once converse a conversation not even when Selena was alive. Ugh!
“Lady Ascania, Madame Red must have seen a potential in you, so she must be willing to teach you, awww~”
“I heard that the Madame Red’s house was the one who took care of the previous Empresses and Madame Red was the one who taught the Previous Empress before she seated at the throne.”
“A lot of ladies was eager to make Madame Red be their teacher, but, she always firmly decline and never accept any lady after the last empress passed away.”
“Lady Ascania as the next empress, wow! how surprising! I heard a rumor that the lady and the crown prince are already engaged and soon to be married, Lady Ascania is it true that you and the crown prince have a serious relationship?” What? I cannot keep up with these ladies. At first, they were talking nonstop as if they were chirping birds, opening their mouths, and saying the things they want to say, they were sound like my alarm clock back when I was alive, waking up early in the morning to attend the class and now they are mentioning the prince, seriously these ladies. I want to get out of here that what was I am thinking of.
“Ladies, I truly appreciate your opinion, but Madame and I just met now and nothing personal relationship going on, with regards of Madame Red being my teacher, that, I don’t think so, I didn’t send a letter to Madame and I don’t think of myself as worthy as being Madame Red’s student. I am still learning and I still have more lacking, As you said, Madame Red is strict and I am nothing compare to Madame Red’s elegance. If there would be suitable for Madame Red’s student that is not me. If you excuse my rudeness, we must go now, the sun about to set and I hope ladies we will meet again, by then, we must go. ” Flora, Julie, and I left the store just like that, and thank God I escape the hellish mouths of the blazing birds. We went straight ahead to where the carriage is, where the coachman and a knight from the estate were waiting for us.
“What a surprising event we encounter,” Flora said with a joyous expression.
“R-right? I-I can’t believe that I would see Madame Red face to face. I usually heard about her that she has a strong charisma and elegance in every movement she moves, but looking at her like that, she more than that! what do you think Miss?” Julie followed and asked me, while I was just curious about what she said a while ago. Though, I know thinking about it won’t do me anything. I must get this over my head. I have a lot of things going on with my head, especially having peaceful life and away from that miserable fate.
“Milady?”
“Miss, are you alright?”
“Hm? ah! yes…what were you saying?” After that, Julie told us that she will be alright on her own because her place was near the plaza, so I bid goodbye to her and said that we will see each other tomorrow, while Flora and I went home, inside the carriage is filled with silence at first but Flora seemed to be worried about me, she kept on looking at me and here I am pretending that I don’t know that she was looking at me. But I have to talk to her, she looks like someone bullies her.
“Flora, could you please stop digging a hole into my face?” I said.
“I-I am sorry Milady, it’s just that…I am worried about you…”
“Me? What do you mean?”
“Well…Ummm…nothing Milady” Her words and expression aren’t the same. I know what she was thinking, but…
“I got hands full of everything as of the moment, and being the crown prince’s fiance and becoming the empress of this place is too much for me. So, I decided to give up on that dream.” I slightly smile at Flora but still, her eyes are full of worries.
“Even the Crown prince?” I stopped by her words, my eyes, my mind, and my heart froze and as if it stings within my soul when she said that.
“Yes, even the Crown Prince,” I said coldly.
I am not angry with Flora more, I am angry with myself. I, for all of the people, know what will happen if I end up being with the prince. But, why does my heart says differently?
“Milady, we are back.” I didn’t notice that we arrived at the estate. Outside of the carriage, Sebastian was waiting for us.
“Did you have a nice day Milady?” He asked.
“Yes, I did,” I replied.
“That’s great. The Lord is waiting for you in his workroom.” Did father come back? Sebastian lead the way and I asked Flora to prepare for my bath, I need to refresh myself with these wavering thoughts of mine. When we arrived Sebastian opened the door and the duke was sitting on his chair and doing his work at his long and big brown table with golden designs on it. He looks so serious.
“You called for me Father?” I asked, he lowers his feather pen and stopped writing. The more I stay here the more I get nervous, but there is nothing I should be nervous about, I didn’t do anything wrong this time. So, duke, fire it up! say whatever you want to say to me! if you want to curse me then curse me, if you want to slap me then slap me, I am ready! You can do this Selena!
“How…how is your body?” Huh?
“Uhmm, it is already fine all thanks to the young magician.” Well, that was unexpected. I thought that he would be angrier at me after what happened.
“Good…”…after he said good nothing comes next to his mouth but just total silence….uhmmm duke even in your silence I feel like you are killing me with your stillness.
” I…I…haaa, you may go back to your room and get some rest.” What? that’s it? it seems like he wants to say something to me, is he shy? or he still doesn’t know how to communicate with your daughter, seriously this father of mine. Although I don’t know what you are going to say, I am just having a hunch about it. and just by looking at your eyes, he didn’t sleep, looking at those dark circles under his eyes makes me want to hug him, but if I did, he might get angry at me, so I must take this slow first.
“Father…I deeply apologize for making you worried about me. and thank you. I must go back to my room.” I turned around and grabbed the doorknob but before I left, I looked at my Father and then…
“Get some rest too, Father. Goodnight.” I smiled and the face of the duke was lifted with relief, then eventually I left the room and go back straight to my chamber. Flora already prepared the bath then I dived in. wahhh~ having this warm and comfortable bath, makes my worries lessen somehow. what heaven is this? After I took a bath, I told Flora that I will be fine so she could get some rest and leave me be. I lay down on this enormous comfy and soft bed of mine then while laying down I felt that I becoming sleepy and slowly my eyes are closing, then I didn’t know that I completely fell asleep.
