Chapter 2 - Fate : Arrival

"Violet, Are you okay?", a voice sounding seemingly anxious draws nearer.

I am very confused, where am I? That does not sound like my mom.

I'm lying on a huge bed that's not mine. What should I do? My heart is beating so fast. I'm scared.

The door opens and a worried woman throws her arms onto her.

"Violet honey, are you okay? What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"W-Who a-are you? I don't know who Violet is"

"What nonsensical words are you spouting off? Did you hit your head or something?"

"N-no"

"I don't have time for your acts. Get ready, you have a tea party to attend in an hour."

"Katie, look after Violet, dress her up in the most beautiful gown, she must look pretty", the woman commands the maid and walks off the door.

"Yes, Your Grace", Katie bows.

"My lady, it would be great if you step out of the bed before the Duchess yells at you"

"K-katie, right? Who is that woman? Can you please explain?"

"My Lady seem to be upto a lot of tricks nowadays, perhaps I'll just go along to it", Katie talks to herself.

"That woman was the Duchess, Catherine LeClair, also your mother"

"ahaha I-I see, is Violet my name?"

"Yes, My Lady"

Rory, now Violet, gets out of the bed quickly and looks at herself in the mirror.

"W-what? Why am in the body of such a young girl?!", Violet screaming.

"My Lady, you are a young girl", Katie sighs.

"Katie, h-how old am I?!!"

"Eight, my Lady"

"Eight, eight...", Violet sobs as she murmurs to herself.

***

I am aghast. This is despicable. How did I end up like this? Is this my true real life or was THAT my true real life?!

Was that a dream or is this a dream?

I am perplexed.

W-WAIT THIS POSSIBLY ISN'T MY REAL LIFE. I KNOW NOTHING OF THIS LIFE.

Gosh, I need to take deep breaths.

****

"My lady, are you okay?"

"Ah uhm y-yes"

"Katie?"

"Yes, my Lady?"

"Could you please tell me everything about me and my family?"

"I will, my Lady, if you wish me to tell you"

"thank you!"

"My Lady, I'm sorry if I seem like I'm being nosy, but is this another trick?"

"uh yes, Katie, this is a new trick, I'm going to act like I've lost my memories and see the reaction of my family"

"Do I have siblings?", Violet asks Katie with eagerness.

"Well, my Lady, you're the only daughter of the Duke and the Duchess".

"I see!", nodding her head.

"Now, my Lady, I believe you would look wonderful in this dress"

"hm? Looks pretty fancy"

Violet puts the dress on and tries walking.

"My Lady, that's not a how a proper noble lady walks", Katie sighs.

"Lady Violet has been acting quite strange this morning, I wonder if this is part of her act", Katie talking to herself.

Katie doing Violet's hair while Violet is getting tired because it's taking too long.

"Katie, how long is it going to take? I'm sleepy", Violet yawning, complains to Katie.

"In a minute, My Lady"

"You've been saying that for the last twenty minutes"

***

I should find a way to understand what's going on, *Yawns* I feel like I'm familiar of this scenario. I should try to get used to it and grasp the truth behind all these ruckus. I can't believe that I really ended up being in a whole new place.

***

"My Lady, it's all done"

Katie pops Violet's bubble of deep thinking.

"Ahh yes, thank you"

***

"Violet, Are you done?! If you are, better come down quickly"

"Yes, mother, I'm coming"

Violet goes down and her mother advises her to be more ladylike and not to cause any ruckus.

****

Seems like this Violet lady is a troublemaker. *sigh*

***

"Sweetheart, you look beautiful! I hope you have fun", the Duke with excitement hugs Violet.

"T-thank you, Father"

***

Seems like the Duke loves Violet terribly a lot. *Sigh*

"Albert, stop hugging Violet, you are getting your tears and snot all over her dress!"

"I'm sorry, it's just that my daughter has grown a lot", sniffing his nose on an handkerchief.

"Violet, move along and get on the carriage, you cannot let Amelia Blaise waiting for you! Hurry up!"

"Yes, mother!"

***

Hmm, Violet has a very strict mother and well, his father, he seems like he adores his daughter a lot.

Well, now I'm going to get on the carriage and just wait till I get to Amelia Bl-, wait wait Amelia who?
