Celestial Esme Damanor is the villain of a novel that has been making a lot of fans lately.
She is a character who always treats the female lead so badly, even trying to harm her.
But at the end of the story, she was supposed to be dead in her own room because the place had a big fire. She was locked in there and no one remembered her. It was an ending that I thought was very good because it was her karma.
But why did I become her? How could I suddenly wake up and become a Celestial?
Was it just a dream because I had just finished reading the story? Or am I now in a dying state?
I really don't understand.
The last time I just fell into the fountain, I suddenly woke up in this place as a villain character in the novel I was reading.
Does that mean I will end up dead like her?
"Celest, why have you been silent all this time? The Healer is coming here to check on you. You don't have to worry about anything anymore," said a man who called himself Lexion.
Now I remembered that he was one of Celestial's older brothers who hated her very much. It was even this man who proposed to lock Celestial in her room when a party was going on.
But why was it that at this moment he looked up at me and called out to me softly. Saying that everything will be fine.
There was still another Celestial's older brother, and I was sure he would be here soon.
And sure enough, the door to the room opened and a man who looked so similar to Lexion entered the room. The only thing that distinguished them was that he had a difference in eye color which was emerald. While Lexion has purple eyes like me, Celestial.
He is Lexion's twin brother, Roxarion.
"Celest, how are you? I heard from Odette that you don't remember anything. Did you hit your head when you fell into the lake?"
I fell into the lake? I don't remember if there was this story before in the novel. What happened until Celestial finally fell into the lake? What kind of time was I actually in? Because this was very different from what I had read.
"I don't remember anything, can you tell me, what did you hear about what happened to me?" I asked him.
"I don't know the details myself, but I heard from Odette that you suddenly fell into the lake in the park." Roxarion explained what happened to me earlier.
So when I fell into the fountain, at the same time Celestial fell into the lake? Was the fountain connected to this lake and sent me to this place? But how did that happen?
He held both my shoulders, and looked at me with a worried gaze. "Tell me that you didn't throw yourself into the lake! You don't intend to take your own life do you? If you have any problems you can tell me and Xion too!"
He shook my body a bit, until Lexion finally released him from me.
"Stop it Arion, you're hurting her. I'm sure Celest wouldn't do something like that. But if she did it because someone hurt her, I'll make sure that person dies at my hands," the man said with a look that was so cold and also terrifying.
This was really strange. The twin brothers who should have hated Celestial, their own younger sister, now seemed to love her even more. This was not in the novel I read because they should have been unhappy with Celestial and preferred a girl who was their step sister.
Right... She, where is that girl?
In the middle of our conversation, there was another knock on the door, now a white-haired man who introduced himself as the royal healer.
"Good afternoon, Master Lexion and Master Roxarion. I heard Master Lexion call me," he said politely.
"Right, I need you to check on Celest again. Maid says there's something wrong with her."
He nodded his head and approached me to do some examinations. He finally came to the conclusion that I had amnesia before he left the room.
I wasn't amnesic, but I didn't know much about this story.
"But is it true that you don't remember anything? The healer said it was probably because you were just in shock. So you still forgot a few things about us."
"Never mind Arion, let Celest rest and don't keep pressing her with those stupid questions again!" Lexion looked very stern and very overprotective of me.
While Roxarion, on the other hand, looked rather childish and full of curiosity.
Not long after, the servant who had first met me after I woke up came in carrying a tray with pieces of cake and tea.
"I brought you rose tea with Lady Celestial's favorite chocolate cake," she said and Lexion took the plate of cake.
The cake looked so good that it was even luxurious with strawberry slices in it. I've seen something like that in a mall with a very expensive price, it must taste very good.
"Let me feed you, you're still sick so it's better if we help you," he said, thrusting the cake he cut with a fork into my mouth.
"N-no need, I can eat it myself," I said but he insisted.
This was the first time a man was willing to do this for me, but if I were the current Celestial, he would be my older brother. Since I couldn't refuse him, I ate the cake from his mouthful. So this is how it feels to be spoiled by my own brother.
It was really good, and so soft. The chocolate on this cake melted in my mouth.
"Do you like it? I asked Odette to bring it for you. I knew it would make you feel better!" Roxarion smiled at me, he was also very considerate.
While I was enjoying my chocolate cake, the door opened again to reveal a couple who seemed to be the parents of Celestial. That means they are the Duke and Duchess of Damanor. Apparently they still looked young.
As they approached, for some reason I felt wary that they would say something bad. But this turned out to be beyond my expectations.
"Oh my daughter, are you alright? I was very surprised when I found out that you fell into the lake. I didn't expect that to happen," said the middle-aged woman who was none other than Vanessa, Celestial's mother.
She looked very worried, looking at me when she found out that her daughter had fallen into the lake. Not only her but her father, Henry, also looked so worried.
She hugged me and rubbed my head, I could feel her body trembling from worrying about her youngest daughter.
I tried to act normal because I didn't know what to tell them.
"I'm fine mother, I'm just still a little tired from swallow a lot of water in the lake. So far I'm fine," I answered her.
She nodded with a smile on her face looking very relieved when I said that. It was a facial expression of a mother I had never seen before.
I could see in her eyes that she loved Celestial very much, so what happened that they ended up hating her.
"I'm sorry that me and your father just came now. There is someone we have to meet because it can be said that he will become part of our family," said the father, which made me start to remember that there would indeed be one person who became part of the Damanor family.
I saw Lexion and Roxarion's expressions, which did not look happy with the news. But they were forced to accept it, for reasons I don't know. Why did they adopt the girl? But in the novels I read they ended up loving her very much.
"Come in, you can see her now," Father said and the door opened to reveal a girl with pink hair and blue eyes.
Her face was so small and pretty, as was her smile. And she was the protagonist of the novel I was reading that I ended up trapped in.
"Meet your new step sister. Introduce yourself."
She walked towards us, then smiled so sweetly and introduced herself.
"Greetings from me, my name is Eleanor Sophia Damanor. I am your new step sister." She bowed, saluting us so gracefully.
That's right... Eleanor, the beauty who was so gentle and loved by everyone.
"I hope we can get to know each other well as siblings."
