Chapter 9 - Escaping My Reality - Bitter Memories

The sun woke her up, she felt dizzy and her throat was dry.

What happened yesterday?

I remember myself singing with Zane but I guess I passed out?

Passed Out.. Passed Out..

She remembers the embarrassing moment when she puked at Zane Leo's shoes.

I want this bed to swallow me whole.

She covers herself with the blanket as she thinks of the ways she's going to apologize for what happened that night.

She quickly gets up in bed but she feels strange.

Everything is so bright..

When her vision completely adjusted she's back to Serlina's room.

"WHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTTTTT????????????"

Why am I back here?! What is happening?

With all the confusion, she's thinking all the logical reasons.

This is a dream, right? Is someone messing up with me?

She suddenly slaps her face and it hurts her once again.

"Ouch!"

As the maid heard her screaming they came right away into her room.

With a worried and confused look, Larissa said.

"My lady, you're finally awake!"

"How long was I sleeping this time?" Serlina asks.

"A day! The doctor even came to examine you, but he said due to exhaustion that you did the other day, your body collapsed."

"I still don't get it.. Why is this happening to me"

"You should rest, My lady. You should not stress yourself since your body is still healing."

With a huge sigh, Serlina said.

"Fine, please get me a glass of water"

Larissa handed a glass of water to Serlina.

As she's drinking Larissa informs her that Aizen went to visit her.

She suddenly spills all the water she drinks.

"Really?! That guy?!"

"Yes, he even left with the flowers. It's right there on the side of your bed."

Larissa points out the flower in the vase.

"Throw it out."

With a confused look Larissa asks, "But why? My lady. You like these dandelions and it's from Aizen."

"Just throw it out!"

Due to the irritated look on Serlina's face, Larissa hurriedly took the flowers and left.

'Does he think he can lure me out with flowers? If my past self fell to that kind of guy, then from now on, I'll remove all the feelings that are left.'

There's a lot to think about. Since it comes to this, my conclusion is that every time I fall asleep in the future, My body and mind go here. When I fall asleep in this world, My body will wake up in the future. How about I'll try not to sleep here, I wonder what will happen? Only if I can fight myself who likes sleeping.

Serlina wrote a letter to Xavier to invite him to their Mansion, to discuss the designs of the furniture, as well as the progress of the new stocks.

She also asked Larissa to keep her in check when she's sleeping, For Larissa it's a strange request since Serlina wants to be alone most of the time.

'I have to take a rest for today, maybe this body will collapse due to exhaustion if I force myself to work today.'

The letter on her table caught her eye.

'It looks like an invitation to a party, but I don't know who this person is?'

"Larissa, who's this Abigail Regan?"

"Ohh, you also forgot the daughter of Marquess Regan? I think she's one of your closest friends, everyone said that she's charming and gorgeous."

"Really? and Why i--"

She's experiencing the throbbing headache again, with a memory flashback at the same time.

In front of her is Abigail Regan, A gorgeous and appealing face with black hair and purple eyes, wearing an extravagant dress. Though she looks charming, her mind is full of evil thoughts.

"I can't believe you're still following Lord Aizen, are you his stalker?" Abigail asks.

"No, I- I'm just following my brother."

A sinister smile appears on Abigail's face.

"What a cute excuse."

She gets the wine from one of her pears and pours it to Serlina's face.

Everyone laughs, while Serlina is drenched in wine on her face and dress.

With a sarcastic voice, she said,

"I'm sorry, my hand must have been so tired that I accidentally poured my wine to you."

Abigail pulls her closer and whispers,

"That's how you make an excuse, if I caught you stalking Lord Aizen again, who knows if wine is the only thing I'll pour to you."

She pushes Serlina away.

She's trying to hold herself back from crying and she runs away from them.

She regains her consciousness while catching her breath.

"My lady, are you okay?" Larissa asks with a worried look.

"Ah- I'm fine, can you get the medicine for the headache?"

"Of course, My Lady"

Larissa hurriedly left the room to get the medicine.

She bites her lips in anger, she can't believe how they treated her in the past.

She laughs so hard while trying to calm herself down.

'What a match made in heaven, you can have your Lord Aizen all for yourself. That arrogant freak and evil witch like you is the perfect combo.'

After taking the medicine, she checks her wardrobe to see what to wear for the party.

"There is nothing to wear.."

Serlina said with a disappointed look on her face.

"This is all your clothes, My lady"

"Yes, I see.. How about let's go shopping then?"

"We should ask for permission from Master Connor"

"Is he here?"

"No, he left in the morning because he has a meeting with th-"

"I see, then let's tell him later"

Serlina smiles at her while Larissa starts to get scared.

They went to the plaza after eating lunch, They searched for the best dress for Serlina in every shop, but it seemed like they were having trouble finding it.

"My lady, slow down! We've been to all the Dress Shop in this plaza and you still can't find your dress."

"They're all common in my eyes, I'm picky you know?"

Larissa can't seem to remember that Serlina is being picky, because in the past she accepted every dress they showed to her, even though there was damage and it didn't suit her taste.

"Are you tired, My lady? We need to take a rest even for a bit."

"No, Shopping is a stress reliever for me."

They arrived at the last Dress Shop in the plaza and someone caught her eyes.

"Who is that handsome swordsman?"
