In my previous life, I was an expert in perfume, shampoo, conditioners. I was an expert in creating stuff that could make anyone smell fragrant and beautiful. But now, ever since I woke up everyone has been cautious around me because they think I might throw a fit. I would but I'm too busy to do that since I'm getting ready to live for the palace. This is seriously nerve-racking. Ever since I stepped foot here, they don't have accessories that can make a woman smell fantastic. So, for the past two weeks ever since I woke up, I started ordering them to bring the tools and ingredients I needed to my room. Things that can create a sense of smell that can awe someone. I've been experimenting day and night. And finally concluded, I've made my first perfume bottle which smells warm and heavenly but yet unique.
In this world, there's not much perfume or anything that can make a human's hair smell nice and fresh. And I think I'm going to come up with a solution. A solution to this matter.
"My lady, what's that?" - I didn't realize Nanny entering the room. I was holding the perfume bottle still grasping it in my hand and running my fingertips on the lid.
"It's something that can make someone smell fresh and delicate. Something quite expensive." - In this world, perfume is rarely found so when there's a perfume for sell the price is quite expensive for commoners but nobles, it's just a little feather to sweep off. The last person in this world to make perfume died young in a landslide during my sleep and ever since then there have been no accessories that can make a person stand out. But now your new "smell good" expert is here to change that.
"Wow, is that so my lady?" - Nanny stared at the bottle intensive. Of course, it's because she does not believe me. I'm going to use it for today's meeting. She'll see.
"Of course. You'll smell it later when we reach the palace. Help me put on my dress." - I stood up walking towards my dresser. - "Prepare me something that's not too flashy yet simple."
"But my lady, you're going to meet the emperor. You need something beautiful since you just woke up." - Nanny started as if worried because of course. The Lady Vivienne they knew from the past loved flashy stuff that had a lot of jewellery stroked onto them. But I'm not that Lady Vivienne. I'm the new Lady Vivienne, the new Lady Vivienne that will change the old Lady Vivienne's fate and no one can stop me. Okay, that's enough I sound stupid right now.
"Nanny, it's alright. I know what I'm doing." - I opened my dresser to see the dresses they've bought for me last week. Everything looks a little too flashy for my taste. I went through all my clothes just to come across a white plain cloth with yellow pendant stocked onto it. I smiled.
"Nanny, I think this one is great!" - I examine it just to see if it needs a little more change.
"My lady, are you sure that's alright? How about the pink one? Or the blue one?" - Nanny started pointing at other flashy clothes which made me quickly respond to her.
"No worries! This one is perfect! It has the same colour as my eyes. Prepare a cloak and a mask, I'm not ready to reveal myself to the public yet. Please prepare my bath. We've got all the time we have to prepare."
"Yes, my lady." - Nanny excused herself.
After the bath, Nanny called the other servants to my room to make sure I look stunning when I get to the palace. At first, the servants hesitated but then when I told them to hurry up, they dashed around hurrying. I just don't get them. I'm getting nervous right now. To think I'll be meeting the emperor, it just gives me a headache. I don't wanna go but I have to since I have an important issue to discuss with his majesty the emperor.
"Nanny, is carriage ready?" - I asked while standing and looking outside the window.
"Yes, the carriage is ready my lady." - she bowed her head while speaking.
"Alright, let's go." – I sighed heavily before exiting the room and that just makes my stomach rumble. I don't want to go but I have to if I want to annual this engagement. I also do hope that that jerk (prince) won't show up. Face it, Vivienne! You can do this! Walking out of the mansion soldiers started looking at the figure with the white mask in front of the mansion. I got nervous for a second but then they started rushing to their places. One of the soldiers started towards me and held out his hand. It's okay though, I was looking forward to this trip anyway. It's time I step into this world and explore.
*Carriage running in the town centre and people crowding around the streets curious of how Lady Vivienne Hernandez of The Shire looks like and how beautiful the carriage is*
"Oh my! Just look at that carriage! Isn't the carriage of the Shire just beautiful?!" - one citizen murmured.
"I know right! It's so beautiful! I wonder if the person inside is as beautiful as the carriage." - one citizen murmured while laughing.
"Yeah!"
"Yeah!"
"I'm curious too!"
Ah, will they ever stop gossiping?! People these days. The carriage was a birthday gift from his majesty the emperor on my 5th birthday. It is the most beautiful carriage in the emperor only made for Lady Vivienne. Vivienne that spoiled brat! She could've just when for an ordinary one.
"I heard it's the Lady Vivienne Hernandez of The Shire!" - one citizen shouted.
"Really?"
"I heard she's a spoiled brat!"
"Yeah me too!!"
"I also heard that too! A few years ago, she made a big fuss in the town market just because they didn't have what she liked!"
"Isn't she a little too much! She's such a spoiled brat!"
"I heard she became that way ever since her mother died"
"Poor thing but still she needs to be taught manners!"
"I heard she fell ill and almost died and her father didn't care."
Suddenly the carriage stopped but I didn't care. The last sentence I heard almost knocked me off my seat. Because don't they know it was a hard thing for Vivienne to lose a mother? Even if she was a brat but still! Can't anybody stand up for Vivienne?
*I glance outside the window to the guards outside the carriage, but they just ignored me. They just let people go on and on. *
'Tch' If I get my hands on those guards I will –
'Boom'
"How amusing" - that voice, ...who is it? Me of course being the curious type wanted to know who it was, so I took a peek. And there I saw a guy with shiny blonde hair, blue eyes like the calming clouds, a well-built body with that smile of his which can melt any girl to their knees. But that's not what I'm focused on. The one thing I'm focused on is the person under his boots.
