"David! Get the carriage ready!" shouted the Red-haired Duchess, while walking on the long hall, she saw Achlys going out of her room. "my dearie!" the frown of the Duchess turn into a smile as she saw Achyls coming out from her room. Hurriedly, the Duchess approach Achlys, she crouch down and said "Good Morning my dear, did you have a nice sleep?" her voice was gentle, she feels familiar and saw her mother in Carmellia, Achlys simply nodded, 'how adorable', the Duchess grins, "I'm very sorry my dear but I have urgent to do, I can't tour you around the mansion, but" a simple pause, the Duchess stand up and look around and saw a little girl in the corner, she signal the little girl to come, "this is Audrey" Achlys turn around and saw a long blond hair with a blue diamond eyes, wearing a cute blue dress and a big ribbon tied up half of her hair, it was beautiful, "Audrey, this is Achlys your new little sister!" the Duchess said happily, Audrey smiles and approach them " Hi! nice to meet you" she lift her skirt a little and bow down, greeted Achlys, 'No, it must be coincidence right?' she thought, "great! now, now, Audrey, your new little sister is still confused" she signal her and Audrey immediately "yes, mother I shall teach her things".
The Duchess get in the carriage, and as she waved her hand goodbye to the 2 girls, Audrey and the others bowed their heads, as Achlys is still thinking about the coincidence, her name, the Duchess's name, Audrey, and the crest, the crest had a lion with a cherry blossom flower on its mouth, the lion represents the bravery of the Anatollius family through the history, and a flower represents the peace and life of the Dukedom.
Audrey immediately changes as the carriage of the duchess is now gone, she flips her hair and rolls her eyes at Achlys and leaving the girl confused, the head maid approach Achlys, "you must be hungry, shall we go to the dining table?" she once again offers her hand and Achlys accepts it.
...
Years have passed, and Audrey is nothing like when the duchess is around and the duchess was not. She acts like she was kind, a saint, and the perfect little girl you could ask for when Carmellia was around, but when the Duchess was not around, she was rude, mistreating Achlys and a villainess, the maids said, she throws a tantrum, she gets easily angry, she destroyed everything she saw, and slapping, punishing, or worst she even trick Achlys playing hide and seek and left her hiding in the garden shed for almost all night, Lilith was scared to death as Achlys was missing, "not my problem" and sitting in her room as she hears the maids and workers outside is panicking. Luckily, the Gardener saw Achlys hiding in one of the boxes. Achlys was a naive, stupid, innocent, and pure child. Meanwhile, Audrey was a villainess, and heartless, mostly people in Dukedom hate her, she was two-faced.
One day, Achlys upset Audrey as she accidentally falls and the cupcake she was holding landed on Audrey's face, it was a tea party with Audrey's friends, Audrey suddenly grabs Achlys hair and got to the nearest fountain and forcedly dip Achlys head in the water, almost drowning her to death. It was a very traumatic experience, the duchess was blind when she comes home and saw Achlys was beaten on her face and arms, Achlys always said that she falls, but now the Duchess thinks Achlys was a clumsy girl.
...
As the novel still progresses in its original plot, the Duchess is secretly keeping prisoners and tormenting them for fun. The Duchess fell sick, Audrey turns to 15 and Achlys was 14, it was a coming of age ceremony for Audrey, the Duchess suddenly fainted as she make a toast to everyone, Achlys was not allowed in the party because she had a fever, she did not know what happened after she recovers, she heard the news about Carmellia getting sick and been sleeping for days and as for Audrey, she was engaged to the crown prince, Delroy Heinrich.
'It's not a coincidence, I'm inside the novel' Achlys thought.
As she remembers, there's chaos in Audrey's coming age of ceremony, the duchess fainted, the duke of west and north and the duchess of the south were there, the news was known all over the country, doubting the Dukedom will fall any second. Audrey is known as a Villainess and rumored she poison the Duchess, and the Female lead was fallen to fever was clueless.
Achlys smirked.
