It has only been 4 hours since I woke up in her body and no one suspected anything off with her behaviour..................

I think.

My intention is not to get involved with the characters especially with Ariana and Damon, the two love birds who will be my end if interfere.

I don't plan on staying here either., Daisuke is waiting for me to return and no one is going to get in my way because if they do the last thing they will see is a knife through their throats.

I'm definitely going to get home and out from this novel world.

My plan is to leave this place before my execution that will occur in 3 months, find a powerful mage who is able to take me back to my world, 'the real world'. I will be able to leave this place and go back to my brother's side.

Daisuke wait for me, I'm coming.

My thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door.
"Come in" I answered in a bored tone, still glancing at garden.

The door creaked open and the maids from this morning stepped in. Lilly the girl with the brown haired tied in a ponytail, Stella the black-haired girl whose hair is tied in a plait. They both had brown eyes, small figures but Lilly was a slight taller. Her face was covered in freckles and Stella had a mole under her chin and both have average faces and they looked like they are in their early 20s.

Lilly and Stella are one of the reason to why she was executed. They both betray Diana from the very beginning of the story. The gossips and rumours of Diana were started by those two and she was too naïve to think it was Lilly and Stella.

It was those two who snitched to Damon about the cruel things she did to Ariana and that is a part of the reason to why she was executed. Diana believed that they were on her side the whole time they served her until the very end when she locked her icy blue eyes with them. Their devilish grins across their faces as they giggled behind their hands. Diana cursed them before her last breath was taken by a blade.

What a pity, even your maids were stool pigeons and you were too blind to see.

'Heh'. An evil grin crossed my face. 'but I'm not the foolish Diana you know'

They bowed when they entered Diana's massive and extravagant room but I paid no mind to them and continued to look outside the window.

"My lady your bath is ready" Lilly said with meek and lazy voice. Her head was down the hall time she entered. In response I hummed lazily as I got up from my comfy chair. "Your ball gown has arrived as well my lady. Just like you asked".

"ball gown huh" mumbling those words, the scene of Diana's humiliation at the party in the novel and a major plot that would occur tonight, appeared in my mind.

She was humiliated in front of the 3 kingdoms of Alphyria then to have her engagement with the Prince annulled. This outraged Diana, imposing her to slap her sister accusing Ariana for seducing her fiancé in front of the crowd making a huge scene. The emperor, Lyte Aurum, had enough of her arrogant behaviour.

She was sent to prison by the order of his majesty for the night due to harming the love of his son and ruining Damon's birthday banquet.

When she was released the next morning, Diana was the talk of the town. Wherever she went the whispers didn't leave her ears.

"Is there something the matter my lady?" I gave Lilly a side look, whose brown eyes darted right back at me with confusion. Something about her makes me want to slap her face that even her crooked tooth would slap back into place.
