I can't help smiling as I read what's on the newspaper today. They really made it look like that I am indeed the threat in Laura's life, well they are not wrong about that and since they kept doing things like this I might as well enjoy myself here.
Since I can't still find someone who can help me get out in this body, I might as well enjoy myself first while searching for a way to come back.
"Your Highness, His Majesty is requesting your presence in his office" Lyle said, I smirked and hand over the newspaper to Lyle as I stand up.
This is the perfect time for me to take my very first step. I immediately went to his place.
I wonder what kind of father he is to this woman. It wasn't that I don't know but I want to see and witness it. If this person can be any help to me or be useless.
I stopped to the door and Lyle knock on the door informing of my presence, after that he opened the door and I went inside.
"Greetings to the Noble Sun of the Empire, His Majesty" I greeted.
He didn't even look at me and just busy reading some files. I can help but to place a smile into my lips as I saw how this old man treating his daughter.
I was just standing here while waiting for him to speak. Don't tell me he called me all the way here just to make me stand here?
"When will you grow up and will stop harassing your sister?" finally after five minutes he spoke.
I can't help but to laugh as to heard what he said. Damn! This family has some problems, I can't believe that there's really a biased parents.
"I can't believe that someone great as you, Your Majesty will immediately believe some rumors and even to the point that scolding your daughter. Why is that?" I scoff and I glared at him.
"Don't you think that you should think before you make an assumptions? It is been going on since I can remember, Imagine people will talk about on how a father is favourable into his mistress daughter and treating like nothing his own daughter" I saw how he throw a sharp glare at me.
I take a step and lean towards to his ear "Since they build my reputation this much, Should I make it true?" I smile at him and left his room. I can help but to smile as I saw how he control his anger towards to me. This is so much fun.
"Lyle..." I called "Yes, Your Highness" I stopped and turn around to face him "Should I try conquering the throne?" Instead of answering he kneeled to the ground and placed his hand to his chest and look at me "I'm willing to be at your disposal, Your Majesty"
I laughed and laughed, this is interesting! This is more interesting than to be back into my world. I wonder how long it will take for me to see them pleading for their life, hearing their cries.
I went to my room and immediately study everything. For all the history of the Empire, to the nobles family, the temple and the commoners.
However, there's something telling me that there's something I need to look out and that is the missing information.
"Adeline..." I heard someone calling my name and I look around and found no one, I stand up when I saw that the background of my room suddenly changing up into a hospital room. I saw my old teenager self sitting on the chair beside of the hospital bed and I saw my sister.
I can't hear what they were talking but I saw myself holding a book and reading it to my sister. I saw her happily listening to what I am saying and then I walk toward to myself and read the title of the book. 'Who Owns The Crown'
I gasped as all of the memories flash into my head. The memories that I buried deep in my head, the very first person who died in my hands, Anneliese, my younger sister who were hospitalized because she was born weak.
My parents were too busy being by her side and forgot about my existence. They had never shown any support to me. All they care is Anneliese. All they do is to scold me about doing the things that my sister can't.
They prohibited me engaging myself to anyone other than to my sister. All I can remember is that the hatred and resentment that I felt toward to them. After the class I stayed at the hospital to be with my sister. She was smiling brightly whenever she saw me and she's always happy to hear the stories that I will told however, I have never feel the happiness or pitiful towards to her.
I saw her as an annoyance and a hindrance into my life. She's the reason why I can't have any friends and how my parents treated me.
I remember that she loves the most the novel that I brought with me, I was reading the book while she's listening. It was over and over everyday. While I was reading the book I remember clearly on how was I'm emerge into the story.
The story revolves around to the family matter story when Madeleine the labeled Villainess Princess tried to kill her sister Laura. She meets her tragic ending when she got executed for the attempted murder of her sister.
Now I understand what is the strange feeling that I had when I read the history of the Empire. The names that is all in the story and the names that I read and heard on this world is exactly the same as the book.
Which is indicate only one thing, I was in Madeleine's body and inside of the novel of 'Who Owns The Crown' I won't made the mistake that Madeleine did. I will not die.
"Highness..." I can heard a familiar's voice "Your Highness" It is Lyle's voice. I opened my eyes and roamed my gaze to find Lyle but I saw Aneira "Did you fall asleep while reading?" she asked I stand up and went to my bed. "Call Lyle" I said and she immediately call Lyle. I instruct Aneira to leave "Is there a talk about my sister's marriage?" I remember it now, all of the events that the novel brought up and who is Lyle.
"There isn't" He replied. So it means that the story hasn't been started, the story begins when Laura get married to the Grand Duke of Dewei who is the war hero and as the marriage proceed Madeleine entered the story as she harass and do evil deeds to Laura because she's in love to the Grand Duke and want to inherit the crown. Lyle is the only person who stays loyal to Madeleine as he protect her and hide her when the Emperor announce the execution of Madeleine. There isn't anything said in the story why does Lyle protect Madeleine until the end.
A very cliché story of a romance. A villain dying while the heroine's get the most sweet and happy ending.
"What if the Emperor announce an Imperial Order for my execution, what will you do?" I need to know why does this man is loyal to Madeleine who doesn't have any power in this place.
"I will protect and clear the way for you to hide and be safe." He plainly answered "Why would you do that? you know my situation and position in this place so why risking your life for protecting me when I can't even give anything to you." His stoic face held a very familiar expression to me and by seeing that I know the answer.
I smiled at him and didn't hear his answer because what his face say is more than answer to me.
His eyes and jaw were trembling. I thought he loved Madeleine but it is more interesting than that, It is Hatred.
I don't know the reason for his hatred because it is never mentioned in the book but it is enough for me to even trust him.
I stand up and lean into his ear "Abhorring someone is like waiting for the poison to be drank and waiting for that person to die..." I tapped his shoulder and looked at him
"I'm willing to be the poison" I can't help but let out a laugh this man never disappoints me. I wonder what they have done for Lyle to abhor them.
"How about we sleep first, let's talk tomorrow" I said and he forbids his goodbye and leaves the room.
I sit back in the chair and continue what I am doing before I fall asleep. Now that I have known where the hell I am, I think I am at the advantage, because I know that I will never be back into my world.
There's only one reason why I am here, in this body, and it's to give them the best ending in this story.
"I'll make sure that I'll live to the fullest extent of happiness and amusement in this world."
