Chereads / Who Owns The Crown? / Chapter 2 - Madeleine

Chapter 2 - Madeleine

"Your Highness, wandering around wearing your nightgown is not appropriate." There is not any hint of emotion in his voice and his eyes are just blankly staring at me. 

He escorted me back to my room and to my surprise, the maid servants were waiting and as soon as I entered the room they started taking care of me. 

They undressed me and showered me and as I lay in the bathtub a maid servant was giving me a massage and the other one was massaging my hands. 

After that, I saw the dress that I am going to wear for the day, it was a dark deep emerald dress, it was a simple fitted dress. 

A set of five maid servants were helping me to wear my clothes and after that I sat on the vanity chair and they all did their jobs, one was brushing my hair, the other one was putting some make up on me, and the other one was busy picking jewelry. 

After finishing, they all distance themselves and I just find myself staring at my reflection. 

Damn, this woman is stunningly beautiful. The dress was fitted to this body, and it was like, it was only made to be worn by her. 

These expensive things, how wealthy is she? This extravagant place is filled with unknown antique decorations, a room full of golden decorations and stones, the lingering scent of fresh flowers filling the whole place. 

The meals that they were serving to me were not ordinary course meals. They are high class set course meals that even I do not even encounter in my life in my world. 

And staying here for a week made me understand who Madeleine really is. 

Every night in my sleep I always see myself watching from her, and it was her memories, they are all now playing into me because I am not the owner of this body. 

"Lyle..." I called the name of the personal knight of Madeleine. 

He immediately bowed down to me "Yes, Your Highness?" 

I glance at the study room window as I see how nice the weather is. 

"I want to go to the Capital" as I read in the history book magical powers are here. 

If I met someone who had any ideas about this complicated situation, it would be a significant help to me. 

I am not ignorant about things; however, I still do not understand what and how it happened that I am here, and If I am here then is Madeleine on my body right now? 

"Your High--" I raised my hand to stop him "I already asked for my permission, I received the letter of my father's approval" when he heard that he just nodded at me and offered his hand to help me get up to my chair. 

This complicated life and situation makes me confused every morning I wake up as I remember the things I saw. 

Madeleine Ceres Habsburg, the second Princess of the Seira Empire, not only is she a Princess, but she is also called the Villainous Princess. 

People from the inside of the palace are all saying that she is always causing harm to the First Princess, who is her step older sister, Laura Iris Habsburg. 

From what I saw to her memories, that was not true, The Emperor, her father threw her to the Emerald Palace after she was born. 

She has been staying at that place ever since she was born and from her childhood, she has been a bold, wise, and intelligent person. She is a quick-witted one, that is why other houses want her to be the next ruler of the Empire. 

However, despite her being the Legitimate daughter and a pure-blooded royal, she is still titled as the Princess. 

Other people loathe her because of the rumor that she is implicating pain to the servants and harming her older sister, Laura. 

However, none of these rumors were true, besides Madeleine will always lock herself in the study room to read and learn. 

That is why I need to find someone who can help me, I need to understand and find this person's soul. 

To find that person I will need to go to this place. 

Even in my world I have never been into this kind of place, a temple. 

Ever since the Almighty God ignored my prayers to be saved, I have never stepped again into his place, and I cannot even imagine that I am now entering his place to seek someone who can help me. 

My three ladies-in-waiting are walking behind me while Lyle is walking beside me. 

I can feel the heavy stares that the crowd throws at me, yet they still bow down to me when I walk past them. 

How ridiculous it is that all they can do is to throw those stares and start baseless rumors, I like this now. 

I mean this kind of life is the same as mine, being loathed by everyone, looking at me like I am a monster, this is not new to me. 

I even laughed in my mind when these priests went to see me and even escorted me to my own praying room. 

When I entered the room, I could not help myself to be amazed at how beautiful this room was. A statue of their God and an altar for his sacrifices. 

I just stood there looking at the statue. "Even if you are different to God that I have prayed to, in this place you are the God, if I pray will you listen to it?" I laughed when I found myself believing once again in the person who will turn his back in the end. 

In this world, Madeleine was labeled as a villain without doing anything and he did not even help the child. 

"Ridiculous, is it not? That I would be here and asking for help, even in my wildest dreams it woould not happen, because God would not help and listen even if it was prayed for a thousand times." 

I turned around "No, it is my mistake to come here because I know that you would not listen, I would not beg you anymore." I know that if I pray to him nothing will happen, that is why I should act in such a way that I can find a solution to my situation. 

"Let us go." I said after I got out of that room. As I walk, I can still feel their gazes and their murmurings. 

I let a sigh, these poor people only know to talk shit behind people without even knowing the truth, that kind of people is what I hate the most. 

I stopped walking as I saw someone who I wanted to meet badly. Long golden hair, with deep yellowish eyes, fair and flawless skin. This is Laura Iris, my precious and bothered sister of mine. 

Now that I finally saw her in person, I cannot contain my happiness, this hypocrite bitch is the reason my Madeleine's image is ruined. Spreading those baseless and malicious gossip so that people will gain her trust and sympathy and become the next Empress. 

How pathetic. 

" What are you doing here sister?" This kind of person is the most disgusting. Acting innocent in front of people so that the other person will look like a bad bitch crumpling her. Let us see how well she behaves. 

" Why? Am I not allowed to go here?" She grabbed both of my hands and nearly tearing looking at me." Are you finally opening your heart and choosing to be on the bright side of life?" I laughed at her and harshly throw her hands 

I saw how her eyes widen as she is taken aback at what I did to her. 

"Are you telling me to live pretending to be a vulnerable and pathetic coward?" I leaned at her whose still in shocked " I will be the villainess that you and your mother created. Be prepared"
