It’s been a few days since I’ve realized I was in a different world. Of course, I didn’t dare say a word that I was not their daughter, since I was indeed their daughter. What I’m trying to say is, it seems my soul has taken over their daughter’s body. But, that does not concern me at all. What I’m more concerned about is whether their daughter is really dead?
From my observation, it seems I am the only daughter of House Adolphus. My father is one of the three dukes in the empire as well as the commander of the second battalion of the imperial army.
I was so shocked to find out I belong to such a prestigious family, but little did I know there was more…
Not only is my father a duke, but my mother was said to be a princess of another country. I have still found out which country it is since I was not concerned about that. What’s more, my older brother Noah, is a member of the royal knights and a commander of a battalion as well.
Who would have thought I’ll become someone so important all of the sudden.
From what my nanny told me, House Adolphus is the most powerful duke family apart from the Grand Duke of the Empire. It is said that our dukedom is one of the most lush and fertile lands in all the empire.
The old lady brushing my hair at this moment is my nanny, named Silvia. She’s the one explaining everything to me including how I ended up almost dying. She told me I accidentally fell into a lake which led to my death.
‘Bullsh*t.’ That’s what I want to say, but of course I can’t.
I may not be the original owner of this body, however, I gained access to her memories of the past as well. And, the story that I fell into a lake, is full of crap.
What happened that day is all thanks to a beautiful yet devious noble lady. Jealous of who I am, they were the real cause of everything. But, what can I do since I have no proof of that event apart from the memory of the owner’s body.
Anyways, thanks to the original owner’s memory. I completely understand why those ladies did something which they shouldn’t have done. I mean, I am a daughter of a duke and a princess of another country. What they did is punishable by death.
But, what can we do when those ladies are head over heels over my fiance, the crown prince of the empire.
Most ladies see me as a treat since I am engaged to the crown prince. Unlike those ladies, the owner actually has no feeling for the crown prince nor does he even see him fit to be her partner.
The only reason why she is engaged to the crown prince is thanks to his Holiness’s prophecy.
Actually, the so called crown prince is only a child of a Queen and actually not legitimate to be the next ruler. As to why, it’s because he is not the child of neither the Empress nor the Queen consort.
Trust me, I was confused as well.
The Emperor is allowed to have an Empress by his side and a Queen Consort. The reason for this was many in case the empress is unable to give birth to a son. At the same time, since both his royal wives have royal duties to uphold. Thus allowing the emperor to have at least two to three concubines.
However, at this moment, there was an exception in regards to the crown prince’s mother. Since both the Empress and especially the Queen Consort come from high rank nobility, they cannot just throw them out like some scapegoat or something. Plus, divorce does not exist yet in this era.
So, they had no choice but to give the title as Queen to the crown prince’s mother. But, of course, she may be a queen, but she has no power at all.
Of course, I too am not interested in such a family nor do I wish to be married to such a man.
So, my biggest mission at this moment is not to find a way home, but to find a way out of this engagement. If I do so, I’ll have the freedom to find a way out of this world.
“Young Lady, is something wrong?” Silvia asked who was done brushing and arranged the girl’s hair.
“Hmm,” she shook her head and smiled, “Everything is alright.”
“Very well,” she replied as she assisted the girl to get up from the chair and back to her bed. “You better get some rest.”
“Silvia, would it be alright if you bring me more books to read?”
Silvia has been curious as to why the girl suddenly had great interest in reading. After the day she was declared death, she did not do anything but stared blankly. Then, the next day she suddenly asked for a book.
Of course, they didn’t know what book she wanted to read so they gave her a fairy tale book. But, after scanning a few pages the girl rejected it and asked for another one.Until now, they have no idea what book the girl wants to read, so all they do is bring different books from the library and leave on her bedside desk.
“No worries, I’ll bring them later. For now, get some rest.”
“Alright.”
As soon as Silvia left the room, the girl sat down on her bed and started checking on the books that were brought earlier.
After checking almost all of them, the girl gave up and sighs heavily, “Nothing, why the heck are they bringing all this fairy tale for. Don’t tell me this girl does not do any ounce of studying…”
Thinking back, the girl realizes that the owner actually loves to read fairy tale books. Since, it gave her the freedom to dream of a life something more better than hers.
“Is she out of her mind.” She sighs annoyed about how the owner has lived her life. For clouding herself with all this fairy tale won’t solve her problem.
What she needs is information about events where someone like her has transmigrated into a different world.
