Chereads / The Duchess and her Prince / Chapter 2 - Rewind

Chapter 2 - Rewind

Yukino arises and looks at herself in the mirror.

[ I- I don't understand, I'm alive and it seems that I've gone back 3 years before my death.]

Yukino sits and tries to write down all the events that happened and all the mistakes she made during her lifetime.

[It seems that the gods have answered my prayers and given me a second chance at life! I won't allow the atrocities that occurred to happen again and I will live a happy, quiet, and peaceful life from now on!]

Yukino was determined to take the second chance that was given to her. After gaining her resolve, a woman bursted through her door.

[ Yukino! It's time for you to get up and start your training!]

The rude maid bursted through the door and intentionally disrespected Yukino. Yukino suddenly began to think to herself-

[ It's always been like this, no one has ever treated me with an ounce of respect in this house. No one has any regard for me or my well being! They only either see me as inferior or as a tool to gain what they desire but I won't let this kind of treatment slide any longer!]

Yukino gets up and slaps the maid

[ Maria, who is the future heir of this household?]

[ Y- You Yukino...]

The maid answers quickly while trembling in fear and confusion.

[What happened to this girl! She used to be a pushover and now she's slapping me ME! HOW DARE THAT BITCH!]

The maid wonders how such a sweet, naive, and idiotic girl turned into someone like this! Malice began to pour into her heart as she thought of ways to ruin Yukino.

[ Maria, I am the future head of this household so you have no right to burst into my chambers at anytime!]

[B- But Yukino I was only trying to wake you..]

[SILENCE!]

Yukino, having grown tired of hearing the maids excuses screamed at her.

[You are not allowed to call my name with such disrespect! You shall call me Madam and only that and from now on have another servant wake me up in the morning!]

[Y- Yes]

[Yes what???]

[Yes Madam]

The maid reluctantly and angrily bowed her head and as she was about to leave Yukino had another request for her to fulfill

[ Oh Maria before you go I would like for you to bring me my ladies-in-waiting]

[Y- Yes Madam]

[Maria says softly as she leaves the room]

Yukino jumps back into her bed and stares up at the ceiling

[ This is going to be more amusing than I thought!]
