In my past life, the only thing that mattered to me was to get good marks and maintain good academic status, despite caring about anything else.
Running behind the meaning less progress. Hiding your notes make you the villain of the whole class. you consider everyone as your enemy,
and everyone considers you a bad person.
cause you consider yourself in a race where everyone wants to stand out in their places, No one wants to be left behind. left behind means death and no one wants to die.
But, now everything is wrenched up in this life, and the whole scene is different it's a real-life and death game.
As these things are in my head a maid slightly peaks into my room door when she saw me sitting in my bed. She rushed entered through the door and came to me with tears falling from her freckled cheeks.
"Are you up princess? did you need anything? " she asked
"no thanks but, Can you bring me a glass of water" I answered
When I asked her she was stunned like I said something weird she suddenly, "yes, princess"
she poured water into the ceramic gold platted jug that was placed on the side table beside my bed.
and handed me a glass, I looked at her without a second thought, and I smiled at her and said "thank you" I noticed my voice also change become quite lighter and softer
and take the glass of water from her the glass was so light that, I thought I might break it if I hold it too tight.
I scarcely hold the glass with my both hands, and slowly drunk it feels so invigorating and somehow lightens my mood.
she was looking at me like of kind of exotic when I looked at her and asked
"anything wronged"
she nodded momentarily.
I didn't ask her again caused I might know the answer, my discourse doesn't sound like a Leroy, they are way too full of gratitude for the maid, and in the novel, she used to report every Leroy act to her mother.
I should be cautious in my discourse.
she excused me and go from my room.
I stepped onto my feet, amazed by the light figure weight of my body and the protracted delicate finger of my hand, I stretched my body to stimulate my body tissue.
'knock knock' heard in a room
I replied "yes come in"
the lady from earlier again shows up this time she orders the maid to prepare a fragrant bathtub for me.
asked the other maid which I had never encountered before to bring a dress for me.
she then asked me" do you need anything, my child?"
I said "no, thank you so much but am good"
she then put her right hand on my cheek and said with a smiling face
"let me know if you need anything"
"yeah sure" I replied
she said "princess come for dinner after getting ready"
I just nodded with a big simile on my face.
I was astonished by the dress, I was so fascinated by the dress it was a long vintage gown of caramel color laced with caramel color.
As soon as, I put on the dress the maid from the earlier started to praise me and slightly pulled me and made me sit on the stole that was placed in front and then starts brushing my hair.
I can do it myself am not a little kid but she softly brushed my hair and then slightly bind my hair into a braid then style my hair with laced and hair accessories.
.
.

the maid guarded me and pulled the huge extravagant door.
At this point, I was about to lose my nerve, I don't know which part of the novel am in.
I took a deep breath and tried my best to calm myself down.
there were already three people sitting at the huge luxurious dining table.
A handsome guy with blonde hair but lavender eyes approaches me and asked me for my hand to escort her.
'I think maybe he is Leroy's brother Claude, who stands with her till the end he was so good-looking, I need to be his wife not his sister in this god damn world'
he asked me "how are you feeling now"
I replied "am good, so good never had been that good"
'damn I need to control my emotions he must think of me as insane for replying to him like that.'
he replied to me; "good to hear that princess"
As I reached the dining table he slightly pulled the chair I sat on the chair
The decent middle age man looked at me and said "princess how are you feeling now?"
I replied "am good thank you"
I realized by his statement that I was at the start of the novel and how his father said that he said yes to the crown prince's proposal and they are going to their mansion in a week to fix the date for their engagement.
sucks that this can't be true I wasn't prepared for this, it needs to stop.
Until now in this novel, the female lead (Briatta Zimire) also doesn't meet the crown prince and he didn't have any reason to say no to that proposal.
I must have to take a step now to save my beloved Unnie Leroy de Delphine.
" dear, why aren't you eating anything" the lady from earlier,
'she must be her stepmother(SPOILER ALERT! only her father knows about that in the original novel, and she accidentally heard that) she was the one who forced her to marry her to that jerk crown prince'
I then look at my plate the scrumptious steak is untouched
I didn't say anything, I just dig into my plate. and try my best to enjoy this appetizing dinner fully.
"Emperor wants Leroy to marry crown Prince," said Leroy's father.
I heard this news I forget to breathe for a second "cough cough"
Claude pass me a glass of water and asked "are you okay"
'I was about to cry, I don't want to marry that dirtbag'
I simile at him and say "am okay, thank you"
mother was amazed by his statement and said did he really ask you that?
without listening to the answer she again asked "what did you say to him?
"Ostensibly, how could I object to Emperor desire," said father
mother pleasure could be seen on her face, she look quite relaxed after his statement.
"but I do object, it's my life decision, how could you fix my marriage without my permission and I don't want to marry the crown prince," I said out loudly putting my hands on the table and standing up.
"princess, behave; you should take back your words" the mother exclaimed
father was looking at me in complete astonishment, but didn't say anything, but furiousness could be seen in his eyes.
"I apologize, I can't take my words back and that's my final decision" I utter those words with the tear holding in my eyes
At the time, I can apprehend the pain my precious Leroy go through alone.
