But, what kind of clothes are they wearing? Don't they look like a prince and queen in a kingdom or a nobleman in ancient stories?
Asraff, oblivious to the confusion that appeared on his sister's face, continued to chatter. Even though at that time Monna was still very busy with her own thoughts.
"Didn't I warn you to always be more careful around the lake?"
Monna feels scolded.
"I warned you not to go near the water because you can't swim. But what is this? You didn't hear me?!" Asraff's protests made Monna bow her head sadly.
"I'm so sorry." Monna felt it was normal for her to apologize for making everyone worry about her. But her apology took everyone by surprise.
"What? You just apologized to me?" Asraff suddenly felt a deep sense of horror when he heard the words that were too foreign to his ears.
Mrs. Shcoutz even touched Monna's forehead. And ask Dr. Stand to check his daughter back.
"Dr. Stand, please check on my daughter one more time," exclaimed Mrs. Shcoutz was worried because she felt her daughter was still not feeling well.
Dr. Stand obeyed. He returned to check on Monna's condition and said.
"Princess Cattarina is fine. She has recovered from her illness. And now, she was declared healthy." said Dr. Stand when finished checking.
The Cattarina family smiled happily and were relieved to hear that. On the other hand, Monna suddenly shivered.
"Ca-Cattarin??" Monna said in shock. She covered her mouth with one hand.
It was true! I am Cattarina Bourston. The daughter of the Count Bourston family, a famous aristocrat. Was the king's most reliable confidant.
Oh no! For God's sake! What kind of knowledge was this ?!
She was clearly Monna Rataliu. An ordinary administrative worker at an accounting firm. But what is this? Now she's turned into Cattarina Bourston??
Monna hastily got up from her bed. No matter how many pairs of eyes looked at her confused. She ran to the dresser and stared at the mirror.
Duar !!
Like being struck by lightning. Monna stared in shock.
Cattarina's Mother saw Cattarina's strange signs, immediately approached her daughter, and asked.
"Catty? What happened to you? Why is your face so pale?" asked Mrs. Shcoutz was worried.
Cattarina's father, Mr. Shcoutz approached too.
"Catty, are you all right?" he asked.
But Monna is not sure.
"Hey, kid! What's wrong with you again? Anything broken?" Asraff, Cattarina's brother joined in.
Even though Asraff already felt strange about his sister's unusual attitude once she realized it, Asraff still didn't know what was really going on in Cattarina's mind. He hoped that his younger sister's head would not get too much water so that it would affect the condition and performance of her brain.
Monna glares at Asraff as if she could read her brother's thoughts.
"My brain is fine. And I'm fine-nothing !!" Monna replied emphatically, staring fiercely at Asraff. Monna showed her defense.
Maybe because the two of them are only one year apart and have often been together since childhood, Cattarina could tell what was in the head of her bully brother.
Although of course Cattarina also knew that all of this was done by her brother not because her brother hated her. But somehow, the two of them both like to attack each other in certain situations.
"Thank goodness if you're all right. Then I'll go back to work. And you better rest again in beauty, my beloved sister. Don't let your charm just slightly diminish by soaking in the water for a long time. I'll see you later tonight," Asraff exclaimed as he said goodbye.
He bowed his head to his parents as well as Dr. Stand. Then walk out and leave.
Actually, Monna still wants to reply to her brother's words. But his attention was distracted by all the memories that began to appear clearly in her mind.
She glanced helplessly at the two parents she just met.
"Can you leave me alone? I think what you said was right. I need lots of rest," said Monna wearing a tired face. And both parents agreed.
"Alright Catty, we'll leave you here. But if you need anything, tell us immediately," cried Cattarina's father before he finally left with his wife and Dr. Stand.
Cattarina looked back at her reflection in the mirror. So pretty. Even more beautiful than she imagined. In the novels that Monna read, Cattarina was always described as the most beautiful state flower in Geraldy's country.
Not only Geraldy country. The neighboring country as well as most of the other countries outside of their territory, all greatly admired and adored the beauty, grace, and majesty of the magnificent beauty of the Bourston family's daughters.
Even now, no one could match Cattarina's beauty in the eyes of the world. All men would have fallen in love with her, whenever they saw Cattarina in person.
Wavy golden yellow hair that hung down to her waist. Blue eyes are like waves on the beach that roar with each other and do not compound. As well as the smooth, white skin that was as soft as cotton.
No one on the mainland could match Cattarina's natural, flawless beauty.
Her lips were even flushed red, even without wearing any makeup. And her long curled lashes. As well as her beautiful face. Making her known as the most desirable woman in the whole country.
Countless invitations came to her from all over to get acquainted with her. And not one of them was able to attract Cattarina's interest to accept her invitation because in her heart there was someone else already.
Belhart Dominic. The man with a million charms and courage to repel his enemies. As well as a man she has known since childhood. Until finally the man who succeeded in winning the heart of Cattarina completely.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work the other way around. Belhart Dominic never put his heart to her. Moreover, attracted to her.
Monna touched her cheek which was now like a plum. Chewy and smooth.
