SELENA’S POV
As the days pass by, today is somehow different from the usual, I feel like something would happen, but I couldn’t explain what is it. Last night, I woke up from a nightmare, I dreamt that Julie and the others were slowly fading away and I was dragging down by unknown dark stuff that is pulling my hand away from them. I was screaming for help but no one heard me and as I woke up, I was already sweating and was catching my breath so fast, I told myself that it was only a dream but somehow gave me an uncomfortable feeling. Why would I dream something like that?
“Miss? Are you alright? You said that you had a nightmare, would you like me to bring you to the infirmary to have fully checked on you?” Julie is concern about my well-being, she got worried about me because I didn’t take a bite this morning as we leave the dorm for I didn’t have any appetite.
“I am fine Julie. You could take your sit now” I said to Julie even though my visions are getting blurred, I must get hold of myself. Ugh, my head is spinning and it hurts. As my head is down to my table, Yohan Arrived looking like…angry? His eyebrows are frowning than usual and even angrier. Did something happen? Julie and I look at each other as we wonder why did he look like that? When I look at John, he somehow looks exactly like Yohan, he is somewhat angry same goes for Gin.
“I know the rumors are fast getting to your ears especially to this one. As you all know, Viscount Mondeu had finally found his long-lost daughter… Today, she will be joining us.” Viscount Mondeu’s daughter? Is she will be the one who will be the crown prince’s wife? Is that why they look so angry? I would understand if it’s John and Gin but Yohan as well?
“so, I would like to introduce to you Adelia Vina La Mondeu” Wh-what? A-Adelia? did I just hear him say, Adelia? that Adelia? the door opened and a girl enters the room with straight yellow color as the gold and shining like the stars above the night sky and her eyes color of the blue like a deep ocean blue and resembles the moon. As she was walking to the center, I know from what I heard not even looking at her, there is no doubt…she is the heroine!
“Miss? are you alright?”
“H- How did this happen? I- Impossible…” My voice is trembling, my heart is throbbing fast. I couldn’t stop looking at her because I couldn’t believe the heroine would appear at the academy which she shouldn’t. she was supposed to appear at the banquet celebration of the crown prince’s so how come she is here? I thought that I still have time to prepare then…why?!
“Miss?…Miss! Oh my goodness! you look so pale! I must bring you to the infirmary! ” Why does my vision getting more blurry? everything is spinning, I feel so weak…the voices of Julie, John, and Gin are becoming thinner and thinner…
“hmm…h-huh? where am I?” Is this?…
“You are at the infirmary, Selena.” The head doctor of the academy suddenly appears behind the white sheet that surrounds the bed. It seems like I passed out a while ago, I tried to sit up, but my head still hurts, the Head doctor helps me to make myself comfortable as I lean my back and put a lot of fluffy pillow behind me.
“Don’t restraint yourself. You lose your consciousness a while ago due to stress and fatigue. I heard from your friend that you didn’t eat your breakfast, didn’t you know not taking your meals is bad for your health? So I already prescribed you the medicines that you need to intake in case you feel like this again, but then again! eat your breakfast regularly! Even though you need to compose yourself because you are a noble doesn’t mean that you have to put your health in danger! do you understand?” That was a mouthful of sermons. Looking at the head doctor reminds me of the directress at the orphanage who takes care of us whenever we got sick. I want to say thank you to her but I still don’t know her name.
“Uhmmm, I wanted to say thank you, but I still don’t know your name, mind if you tell me? Oh! by the way, my name is Selena”
“I know, I just called you by your name, remember?” Oh, I forgot…
“Lea, my name is Lea.” Lea…huh…strange, why does she look so familiar to me.
“Thank you for taking care of me doctor Lea” I smiled at her and she looks suprised when I smiled at her, does my smile look weird? but then she smiled back at me. I thought that she find me weird, I guess people think my smiles are weird.
“Milady! Milady! Milady! MILADY!!!” is it me or there is someone is shouting at milady in the hallway? Then suddenly someone slammed the door of the infirmary as if this person could break it easily, doctor lea and I were surprised then the white layer that surrounds the bed flies away as that person shoved it so strongly.
“F-Flora?” was it Flora who keeps on shouting in the hallway?
“What are you doing here?”
“What do you why am I doing here?! We’ve heard that you’ve got sick and fainted so the duke and I rushed here to check on you, thank goodness that you are alright! are you hungry? do you still feel uncomfortable? do you still feel sick? oh no! doctor! Milady is still feeling weak what should we do?! we must bring immediately the doctors and magicians to check on you! Oh, Milady, don’t you worry! Flora is here so you will be fine! and-“
“Flora!!! stop for a moment, did I just heard you right? the du- Father is here?” What in the world did just happen? Wait, I remembered that before I faint-! Adelia! The sequence of the game changes again, how can this be? the prince hasn’t been arrived then why is she here and on top of that, she becomes the viscount’s daughter. While I was thinking so hard about the things that are kept on changing we heard a knocked on the door.
“Your Excellency” Doctor Lea said while looking at the door and now, as I look at the entrance door I saw Fa-father?! I was too suprised to see him here in flesh, but what is he doing here?
“Your excellency, what business did you come here?” Doctor Lea asked but why does her expression seem to be disappointed, then why does she look like that to father? did they know each other?
“What my business here is none of your concern, you just have to treat people because that is your role anyway” What a cold way to say that! she just treated me you know, she treated your daughter and that’s how you show gratitude to someone who treated me?!
“Uhm, Fa-father, what are you doing here?” I asked.
“To fetch you” Eh? fetch whom?
“Flora, get her things now” Father ordered Flora, but I have to stop him for a moment!
“Yes, duke” Flora just agreed.
“wait, father! I don’t understand why you need to fetch me, did I do something wrong? please give me one more chance, I’ll promise I will not do it again. If it because of what happened to the garden it was because of those ladies who-” before I finished my sentence I was already interrupted by my father.
“Selena! haaa…please leave us alone for a moment” It caught me a surprise when he raised his voice suddenly, He asked them to leave the room, well, I did some unnecessary things towards those ladies, they may perhaps send a letter to him about what happened, so then he decided to return me to the estate.
“Selena, tell me what happened, don’t leave even small detail” I was confused when he told me that, but I don’t have any choice so then I told him everything that happened that day on how they hurt Julie, and how they destroy the garden. As he instructed me, I didn’t leave even small details. As I finished what I was saying I see that his fists are clenched and trembling his veins are showing to his hands, is he angry?
“I apologize for using the name of Ascania as I please, I just got angry that they hurt my friend and destroy the place I cherish” Come to think of it, I noticed that I keep on apologizing for all of my actions, was it because of my past?
“Selena, you don’t have to be sorry for everything, if they look down on you, straight up and be more confident in yourself. You are not just an ordinary person in this society. You are not just my daughter, You are an Ascania. You can do anything as many as you want, you can protect anyone whom you want to protect. As your father, I know I don’t have any right to say this to you, so if there is someone who needs to apologize, It is I” The duke is apologizing to me? his eyes…are sincere, I can see that he is truly sorry about me but about what,? why does he apologize to me?
“I left you alone for a long time, I thought that If I leave you alone you’ll be happy, Then slowly, I didn’t notice that we already grew apart. after your mother died all I did was to make myself busy to momentarily forget how painful it was to see your mother died in her bed and hearing her saying her last words. I promised to her that I will fulfill her dying wish but it turns out I didn’t” The voice of the duke trembled as he speaks every word that comes out of his mouth, it must be too painful seeing losing the woman he loves the most. Mother…I never think of it the moment I got here to Selena’s body, I saw her memories but not even a single thing that shows her mother. I wonder what does she look like?
“What is mother’s dying wish?” I got curious about that so I asked the duke about it.
“…” He reached out his hand and touches my right side of my face and look at me that makes me want to cry, by just looking at the duke at how painful he is.
“…She told me to give you love and happiness that you deserve” Selena’s mother…my mother said that?
“I just wanted to do what your mother would’ve what me to do, But I…all I did was left you all alone. I don’t deserve to be your father” While at the duke that is in front of me shaking in remorse, who am I to accept this? All he did what he knows what’s the best, but your real daughter is no longer here. I am not Selena. I wish that she could hear you saying that, those days and nights that Selena waited for you to open up the door and call her name dearly, you could’ve been better if Selena is still alive, but that’s impossible. I just want him to know his daughter even if I am the one who is currently on her body
“…For those times that I was longing for the warmth and love of a father, I get used to it that no matter how hard I tried, no matter what I do is futile. I couldn’t forgive you, even looked at the window and look up, seeing how the birds are flying so free and I thought that I just wanted to be like them. I wanted to be free, I wanted to find somebody that would let me feel the warmth that I was looking for. To tell you the truth, I was planning to leave the estate and live on my own…but, Leaving you alone like how you leave me won’t make me feel better. I was just waiting all along and I guess you made me wait for so long, Father.” I was tearing up as if this was what Selena is feeling, the love for her father even he left her alone. The duke was tearing up in front of me, the stern and strict father figure that he holds in front of other people are now crying like a child in front of her daughter. While talking to the duke, the space from my heart that was left for a long time is slowly filling up now by this moment that we have. Was this also what my parents feel back when I was alive in my world?
“I know that you couldn’t forgive me that easily, but let me take this chance to be your father again, Selena” I was a bit surprised by that, then I smiled at him because I am glad that he is willing to take the chance to be with his daughter even if it is me. Haaa…now, another dilemma comes after one is done. The heroine is here. Adelia, The viscount’s lost daughter. But it seems weird because, in the original story, Adelia was not the daughter of the viscount. I was thinking deeply when the duke noticed that I was frowning and made him worried. I told him that it was nothing and asked him to leave now because the sun about to set, I didn’t notice that I was sleeping here for the whole day, I even skipped class, haaa…
” You must go back home, your health is what I am concern of” Oh God! please! I am fine, it is nothing, this is too fast, he becomes concerned about my health after our talk, I know that he wants to give himself a chance but, I am still a student and we are here at the academy, as we were walking out, he even asked one of the knights to carry me but I told him I am perfectly fine now, what happened to the stern duke before?
“Are you really not going with me?” we finally reached the outside, the carriage is behind him and the students outside are looking at it and I feel embarrassed about it. Looking at him, he looks like a whimpering dog
“Father, One more time, I am perfectly fine…” I was smiling at him but my smile says otherwise. I know I make him worry about my health, but leaving the Academy after knowing that the heroine is here, well I cannot idle anymore.
“I am fine, I will write you a letter. Oh, before you leave father I just wanted to ask something” He looked at me while his eyes are sparkling, did I just saw a tail wagging?
” what is it? ask me anything! go ahead!” Oh, God…
“I’ve heard through a rumor that is circulating here. Viscount Mondeu was said that he finally found his daughter, I find it hard to believe but isn’t the viscount married yet? then how did he-” I was finishing my question when I looked straight to the eyes of the duke with serious eyes.
“Selena, this matter will soon resolve, I wasn’t planning to tell you this but it seems like rumors are fast even at the academy” You bet it is, Why is the father doesn’t have a plan to tell me about this?
“for the meantime don’t get involved with that Mondeu’s daughter, do you understand? As much as possible keep your distance from her” This is the first time that I saw the duke with a very serious expression yet with concerning eyes.
“Of course, Father, I will,” I said while smiling. Before he leaves I asked one more question about my mother, Selena’s mother.
“Father, I’ve been curious about mother. She left us after I was born, I didn’t get a chance to know her, even her face, so I was wondering how she looks like?” When I was fidgeting, because I was thinking if it’s alright to ask that because I might add salt to his wound. Then suddenly a hand landed, on the top of my head, patting it gently, I felt the warm big hand of the duke when I looked at him, he looks like he is not offended by my question rather he looks at me with gentle eyes and smiled at me. I was mesmerized by the duke, this was the first time that he looks at me like that.
“She looks exactly like you, beautiful as you are” After what he said to me, I lost my word and I feel my cheeks are a bit hot.
“I’ll show you your mother’s portrait when you got back. By then take care of yourself, Selena” After that advice, he then left as well Flora. I feel kinda happy and warm for the first time for a family member. This time, I have to step up. I need to move on, remembering my past won’t do me anything. As the game is constantly changing, then I must keep up, I need to change my pace I cannot drag people around me, I need to be strong and be confident, I am not alone.
Adelia…I am sorry father, but I need to look closely at the heroine, there is something wrong and things don’t make sense to me. Adelia’s arriving so soon was not part of the original story. I thought that I could have some time to prepare but she gave me no choice, I don’t have to idle and get worried about my fears, what I wish to do is to make sure that we never bumped each other, that is what I am hoping for, regardless of any circumstances but that seems to be impossible. Our fate will surely intertwine no matter what I do because I am the villainess of this game and she is the heroine.
It’s been four days since Adelia become a student here at the academy, people are gathered around her and we’re mesmerized by her look. Well, she is the heroine for no reason. The gentle, pretty, weak, and soft bunny appearance is appealing to the people around here.
“It seems like people like her a lot even though it is only four days,” Julie said while looking in the direction of the heroine.
“Well, she is pretty, looking at her golden yellow hair makes you even fall deeply in love with her,” I said while fixing my things then suddenly Julie looked at me with concerning eyes, I get what those eyes look like.
“Milady! In my eyes, you are the most beautiful” Alright, thank you Julie but I am not competing with the heroine.
“You are so sweet Julie, Let’s go and eat our lunch, I am very excited about what kind of dessert you will be giving today”
“Leave it to me, Milady! I will serve you the best dessert and biscuit!” Julie is fired up so she went ahead to the garden and I don’t think she notices that she left me here. Well, I am glad that her usual self is back. Come to think of it, I notice that John and Gin are not here, did they went somewhere? As I was about to stand, I saw someone came to me, I looked up and saw the curly golden yellow hair flowing down through her waist, it was Adelia.
“Lady Selena Ascania? Right?” She came to me and asked me if I am Selena, although looking at her, she already know who am I, she is pretending not to know me.
“Yes, I am”
“Oh my! it is a pleasure to meet you in person!” She said.
“The students here are talking about you and I’ve heard a very interesting thing about you,” She said, why is that every time she opens her mouth feels so uncomfortable. As if her words are holding me so right that makes me so suffocate. I want to leave, I want to leave, I want to leave. It repeats on my head over and over again. Then all of a sudden I felt that she is near my ears whispering words through my ears.
“Lady Ascania~ I am here now~” As I immediately heard her words saying my name, I stood up while panting, I was catching my breath and the students were looking at me and murmuring in their places. Get hold of yourself, Selena! you cannot be dragged down by her. First, I need to get out of here and away from her.
“Excuse my rudeness, Lady Mondeu, but my friend is waiting for me, I need to go now. Have a pleasant time” I left the room and run as fast as I can away from them, as I was running, I was thinking that it is wrong with her but I cannot get hold of what it is. Her words are somehow poison to me, her presence is something that triggers my heart that I cannot explain clearly.
Was the corridor were vast like this? why do I feel like I was running forever? I am nearly losing my breath then all of a sudden I bumped into someone.
“Ow ow ow…” I am holding my head because it seems like I bumped into this person’s chin, both of us are down on the floor. I opened my eyes and saw that the person that I bumped was a girl as well. Oh no! it seems like I bumped her that hard.
“Oh my gosh! I am deeply sorry! are you hurt?”
“HUH?!!! Did you just asked me if I am hurt?! I wouldn’t be in pain if because of you! who in the right mind will be running in the corridor that fasts then you are asking me if I am hurt?! Huh?!!!” Wow! what rage of anger she felt, it must be hurt…wait a minute isn’t she Lovina Ackerman Von Kallisto the eldest daughter of Duke Kallisto? Oh no, I seemed to be bumped into someone big trouble this time…
