It is already dark when Celestia regained her consciousness, her back aches but the soft mattress made it a little comfortable and bearable.
Everything that happened poured on her head as she slowly opens her eyes, it adjusted to the dim light of the room, beside her is an empty pile of gauze, dextrose and a basin of warm water that leaves traces of being cold before.
The sound of the grandfather's clock occupies the whole room, it is 7 o' clock in the evening but what is the day? She searched her barely used cellphone and is in shock when she saw the date, it has been two days since her fight with her stepmother!
"The lobsters!" Shocks, for sure it is already spoiled or if not already founded by the maids. She impulsively went up from her bed, she is supposed to be running down the stairs if not for the dextrose that stopped her tracks.
Instead of caring about the quarrel that happened, all that she's thinking of is the lobsters and fruits in the tote bag!
Little footsteps ran through the hall and a maidservant in early 20's has creased forehead while walking hastily.
Anna drops the clothes she is holding with her jaw wide opened when she saw her master trying to pull the dextrose from her arms, "Celestia! What are you doing?! You need to rest!" she nags as she restrains her master.
"I need to get out of this house immediately! It suffocates me, Anna, I'm done living here!" her timid master speaks as if she's another person, is this really her unassertive master? Surely her master loves going outside and sneaking from time to time but she was never courageous enough to retort back.
What happened? What changed?
Did she reborn? Swapped places with another woman? Did she come for revenge?
Anna shakes her head, this is the result of reading too much web novels, webtoons, and webcomics.
Going back, she's already having a headache again, what else can she do but follow her master's orders again?
After recovering from the shock, she decided to help Celestia removed the dextrose and to her surprise a warm hug greeted her, "Thank you for everything Anna and sorry for causing you a lot of trouble, you out of most people understands me most and for that, thank you, I will probably come back after a week or two, tell them that it is my choice, I can't stand to be here after everything"
She can't stand looking at the evil woman sharing the same oxygen is too toxic for her.
Celestia started packing her things slowly because her back still made her feeble, she did not bother to bring her Victorian and custom made dresses but settled for those comfortable ones, jeans, skirts, shorts, t-shirts, and some dresses.
Princesses are not allowed to wear those but she still has things like this because she buys them with the little savings she has when she goes out in town.
She can be a queen wearing just those because for her, any dress will not make you a princess nor a queen but what your character is what defines your destiny.
Her stepmother may wear large pieces of jewelry and beautiful hand made dresses but it will never hide her hideous nature.
Thanks to Anna, she uncovers her stepmother's true nature, a murderer.
