Serena was still confused regarding the transmigration but deep down she was happy to be born into the duke family. The duke family was a powerful family after the imperial family, in the Ararin kingdom. Serena was confused and stay in the bed for a week to sort out the thought. She orders Mary (her maid) to fetch her books and asked a lot of questions regarding the place. Serena was in her room for the past week without going out.
In the room filled with coffee fragrance the duke of Enges was sitting in a chair and doing his paperwork. He was busy with his work when someone knock on the door. "Come inside" he commanded. An old man, Joseph Green, who was the butler of the duke family arrived. "Why are you here?" the duke asked. "My lord I am here to deliver the message from the royal family." The butler replied.
The butler carefully put the letter on the table and left, "How is that child, I have not heard anything in the past few days." He asked in a serious voice. The butler replied, "My lord she has not come out of her room for the past week. She is asking for more history books and has not caused trouble."
The duke, "Keep an eye on her." The butler nodded and left the room. The duke sighed and came close to the window looking at the big moon and then down to the red ring on the finger and murmured, "my love if only you were by my side then I." Sigh, he was hurt thinking about the past but he cannot blame other except himself. The night was long and the three people cannot sleep peacefully. Serena was still busy with the book. The duke had insomnia and was busy with work. Aleera Enges, duke and former duchess first daughter was busy with her experiment.
Next day...
Serena/Valeri had now completely understood the information. She was the youngest but illegitimate daughter of the duke of Enges. Her name was Valeri Enges. Valeri was super confused at first but when she found the setting regarding the name of people and characters, she cannot be more excited than this. She was in the novel she read 'my beloved Elanor.'
The world was different from the earth. This world was full of magic, mana, and rings. Each royal, noble, and commoner are born with unique mana and rings. They discover their ring at the age of 10 to 15. But the more capable they are, they discover their ring faster. The fastest person to discover the ring was the crown prince Fabien De Ararin, who discovered the ring at the age of 8. The ring was especially used to store the mana and is generated within the body and once it is generated, it is stuck with the owner for a lifetime. It is a part of the body and is connected to a heart so, until the host dye the ring will not vanish.
The main protagonist of this story was Elanor and Norok de Ararin. It was a pretty similar novel to Cinderella. Poor heroin and the second prince of the kingdom. It's just that the heroin was so powerful and came from the land of Lora, where powerful beasts live. She had a unique and overbearing power, the power to manipulate nature and understand the beast. It was a quite powerful character but she was so kind-hearted and always supported the second prince who was exceptional in the imperial family and was born without mana. He was the outcast for the entire kingdom. The villains were Fabien (crown prince) and Valeri (me) who were considered the genius of the century and the ending is the same death of the villain and the happy ever after.
Valeri POV, "I am the daughter of duke Enges. I am that prideful villainess" She was nervous and shaking looking at herself in the mirror but, "well what it has to do with me, I want to live a long and diamond spoon life and do not want to cross paths with the protagonist. I just don't have to involve myself with the main character and I can enjoy luxurious life." Ha... should I consider myself lucky or unlucky. Valeri was in her own thought when the butler knocks on the door, "My lady the duke wishes to talk with you." After hearing Valeri pose herself and said, "I will be prepared." She asked Mary to fix her hair and asked the butler to lead the way.
Valeri was nervous since she knew that the duke hates her. She was the illegitimate daughter, as well as she and her mother, were responsible for the death of the former duchess.
Valeri POV, Long story short the duke was drunk and believed to make a mistake and the maid ran away from the castle and gave birth and took care of the child alone. She died when Valeri was 5 years of age and the duke found out about the fact and brought her back, which pissed the former duchess to her death.
Hahaha...I really can be a writer if I passed such a story, there is no such story. The truth is my mother was a greedy person who slept with the duke and take advantage of him. The Duchess was a kind person so, she was generous to forgive her. My mother left the palace and was offered gold each month to take care of me, but she was so greedy and demanded more and more that, the duke imprisoned her and brought me back to home after knowing the truth. The duke may be a cold person but what he hates the most is if someone tries to touch his bloodline. The bloodline of Blaze, the fire.
