"What the hell?"
Latrice said when she saw her appearance in the mirror.
Wavy long silver hair, fair skin, sparkling emerald eyes, and a beautiful face that everyone describe as " the face of a goddess" along with her slender body that everyone admires.
Yes, she is now inside the novel and she is inside the body of Crown Princess Estelle Estridsen, one of the daughters of Emperor Victor Estridsen XI as well as the villainess of the romance-fantasy novel she has been reading for 4 years, "The Saintess' Journey is Extraordinary'.
"Am I dreaming?"
She asked herself but she was able to immediately grasp the situation. To confirm it, she went out of her room in her pajamas to look for the emperor but the empire's palace is...
"What's with this gigantic and luxurious place!"
Latrice panicked and thought. She got lost while being astonished to the high quality of arts incorprated in the perfectly built palace. When she finally saw a woman in her forties in maid's clothes, she immediately asked for assistance.
"Um... excuse me. May I--"
Before she could finish her words, the maid apologized while trembling.
That is when Latrice remembered. The original Estelle Estridsen is a villainess that physically and verbally abuse anyone that irritates her. That is why she is widely known as "The Tyrant Princess" from the commoners and nobles of the empire. She is different from the emperor who is widely known as "Descendant of Goddess Althea" as he has the kind heart for the poor, wise, and most importantly a face that is considered as one of the empire's treasure. He also has the perfect physique and divine ability that is in par with Goddess Althea. Because of the difference in hair and eye color of the emperor and the princess, some of the nobles and commoners question whether Estelle is really the emperor's daughter and this is the main reason why Estelle has inferiority complex on her appearance which she hides for the longest time.
"P-please forgive me Your Highness! I will immediately bring your clothes and breakfast!"
The maid begged and run-off as if she saw a terrifying ghost.
Latrice sighed and got stressed in the situation.
"I am really the villainess of this novel...!"
She thought and while lifelessly striding her feet, she luckily went back to her room. She laid down in the bed and just blankly stared in the high ceiling.
"Am I going to face death again?"
She unconsciously mumbled.
When the maid get in her room to deliver her clothes and breakfast, Latrice realized that she must not lose hope so she got up from her bed.
"No!", she exclaimed.
The maid was startled and even misunderstood her.
"I-I'm sorry again Your Highness! I-I will immediately tell the c-chef and the t-tailor to c-change--"
Seeing the trembling of the maid and to prevent any further misunderstandings, she hugged the maid just like she always do when Kate have her anxiety attack. of
"That's not what I mean"
Latrice tried to explain but the maid became more scared so she let go of her.
"Um... what I mean is... this one is my fave! Tell the chef that he did a good job!"
She said as she grabbed the food and eat it and even sends a thumbs up to the maid. Latrice hate the taste of celeries and carrots but she gobbled it up to ensure the maid that she liked the food.
"Oh! And this dress is so beautiful! Tell also the tailor that I really really like the design and the color! Wow~!"
She beautifully commented on the dress that was hung near the wardrobe after she finished in a minute her breakfast. She gave another look at the red dress that seems to be so heavy because of the diamonds. Latrice wants to cry as she do not want to wear such dress.
"Y-Your Highness...",
The maid had a confused look in her face.
"And... thank you for bringing my breakfast and my dress. Is it okay to know your name, Miss?"
Latrice asked that the maid was so shocked since the Crown Princess never asks anyone's name except for one person.
Because of the awkward silence, Latrice did not insist to get a reply from her.
"I think it is not okay to ask such thing... but it's fine. I just want to genuinely give my gratitude back to you".
"Let's just do it like this. Tell me one wish you want to be granted. In the name of the imperial name, I, Crown Princess Estelle Estridsen, will grant it no matter what!"
Latrice confidently said without thinking how much hatred the maid has for Estelle.
"T-Then... please step down from being the Crown Princess"
The maid courageously replied despite her fear of losing her life.
