The next day I opened my eyes hoping that all that happened was a dream and that I was not dead. Hoping that I would wake up in a hospital room. But it unfortunately, wasn't so.
A maid enters the room. *
"Good morning miss." Said the maid as she bowed down
"Good morning. Could you tell me my morning schedule?" asked Sarah as she hoped to ease the tension in the room
"Y-yes Miss... Normally as soon as you get up you have your bath, change your clothes, and join the master and Madam for a meal."
"All right, I'll be in your care then!" said Sarah as she smiled gently at the maid
Sarah's Pov –
The maid was somewhat shocked... Well, I can't blame her. Rubia treated maids poorly. There isn't much mentioned about Rubia in the novel, but the novel does mention about her ill-treating the maids and the female lead to paint her as the typical Villainess.
While changing her clothes. *
"What is your name?" asked Sarah to the maid
"M-my name is Sandra, My Lady."
"Alright, Sandra. Thank you."
"Yes, my lady?"
Sandra's POV-
I had heard the rumour that said my lady had lost her memories. When I heard of it, I felt a sense of relief since the lady used to vent out her anger on us most of the time. But after seeing how the lady has treated me today is it all right to say that she has changed...?
Sarah enters the Dining room and takes her seat. *
"Are you alright, Dear?" asked the Duchess with worry
"Yes, Mother. I am fine." answered Sarah
"That is a relief. We were all so worried."
Sarah's Pov -
A 'relief'. She must have been genuinely concerned for her daughter's health having no idea that her daughter had passed away. I'm just a fake, but if I had a mother like you, I... It doesn't matter.
"I haven't seen father. Is he busy?" asked Sarah
"Your father had meeting with the emperor last week so he has gone to report the condition of the west lands to the emperor." answered the Duchess
"I see."
Sarah's Pov -
The emperor. According to the novel, it seemed to be as if the emperor had displayed a kind and innocent face in public, but he was quite sharp and befitting of the title. As expected of the Male Leads Father, he was the one who issued death by the guillotine to the villainess Rubia who poisoned the innocent female lead Catherine, who was the love of his son's life.
And about the family of Rubia I remember that the duke wished for a daughter while the Duchess wished for a son. The couple was blessed with a son a year after their marriage and were later blessed with a daughter three years after the firstborn child.
"What of my brother?" asked Sarah
"Your brother wished to come back to the duchy immediately after hearing that you collapsed, but Henry asked of him to not do anything reckless."
"Where does brother study...?"
"He studies at the royal academy."
"I see."
Sarah's Pov -
The royal academy. If I remember right, the male lead of the novel 'Fredrick Nicholson Lloyd Kennedy' who is the crown Prince of the Kennedy Empire, studied there before met the female lead.
"You referred to an 'incident'. Could you tell me more about this incident...?" asked Sarah
"Yes, dear. But first eat your breakfast and restore the energy you lost. We can talk about the incident in the study once your father arrives." answered the Duchess
"Yes."
