Chapter 10 - Demure

She put on the dress and smiled when it fit perfectly. She spotted a full length mirror and wanted to see how good she looked in the dress.

"Ah!" she screamed horrified when she saw her reflection in the mirror. "What's wrong, Miss?" The young girl enquired.

The reflection in the mirror scared her straight. It had her same facial features and body structure no doubt, but straight red hair and then... blue! Her brown Hazel eyes had been replaced with blue ones. Frantically she examined herself. It didn't smell like dye and it didn't seem like she was wearing contacts either. Finally it hit her, she had ended up in someone else's body. "Transmigration?" she thought to herself. Wherever she had ended up it didn't seem like she was in the 21st Century or much less any century for that matter. Was she even on earth?

"Quickly take me to see the Emperor!" she clutched her chest. "Sire!" a guard saluted and opened the door of the drawing room to allow Sasha in. She wore a simple white gown which gave her a more delicate and charming look, the flowery embroidery also added her elegant and demure appearance. And then he realised... "What are you wearing?" he glanced and then asked totally ignoring her freaked out expression. "Huh?" she scanned herself.

The dress... it belonged to the Late Empress" he explained. "Oh! I'm sorry, I'll go change this instant."

"It's okay we don't have much time." It should have irked him. His father's mistress adorned in the same clothes worn by a woman he once called 'mother' but strangely he didn't, actually it looked better on her. All the other times he had encountered Lorianne before she had been adorned in extremely extravagant and unflattering clothes that made her look like an over sized doll and her eyes had been hollow and dead. But looking at her now... could it be that this was the true Lorianne could a person change so much after losing their memories.
