"Yes."

Meanwhile at the palace. *
"So, what you mean to say is that... there actually is a person called Damien from the Valentino Grand Duchy?" asked Sarah
"Yes. He is a relative of mine from my mother's side of the family. He has been a friend of mine ever since I was young."
"I see."
"Why do you have a sudden interest in him, Sarah...?"
"Fredrick... I promise you this, I will tell you everything once the Ceremony is over. Hiding things from you, the man whom I've fallen in love with is... Hard. I know it may seem unfair but, please give me some time."
"Alright, Sarah. I trust you with my life." said Fredrick after which he kisses Sarah
"Get some rest, Sarah. I know how rough things have been with yo
The first season will end in the next few chapters. I will be taking a short hiatus before which I start working on the second season. Thank you.
Previously -"Does anyone have anything they would like to say before I end this gathering...?" asked Aelius*Damien raises his hand. *"Is there something you'd like to say, Grand Duke Valentino...?" asked the emperor"Yes." said Damien in seriousnessCurrently -"I would like to use this gathering to my advantage and inform you all of my future plans. I am aware that almost everyone in this room despises the Southern Empire's Emperor for his foolishness and greed." said Damien"...?" The nobles stared with confusion at Damien having no idea what the consequences were of the words he uttered"I will be starting an internal revolt against the emperor." said Damien as he smirked"What is the meaning of this, Grand Duke?" asked the emperor"I am sure you all have your doubts about me, but you have to trust me when I say this...

"I wonder where it all went wrong? Is this death...? Goddamn it-..." said the girl as she placed her hand on her head. Those were the girl's final words. She was bleeding and crying in pain as she laid on the rough ground. An hour back. * My name is Sarah James (an average college student). The way I'm looking at it right now, my life was hell. I wasn't really the best nor was I the worst. I was just an average student. But, thinking back I suppose that my death was the shittiest part of my life. I remember being run down by a car that was driven by some loud couple, when I was on my way to look for a job. I can't say if it was the couple's fault for hitting me with their car or my fault for reading a novel on my phone without paying attention to my surroundings... Though, I guess the fault lies on both sides… I turned to my side and found the couple who were in a panic. I wan
Previously - "My name!? What is my name?"" 'Rubia Mary Albert Charleston' that is your name dear is everything all right...? " Now - The next day I opened my eyes hoping that all that happened was a dream and that I was not dead. Hoping that I would wake up in a hospital room. But unfortunately, it wasn't so. A maid enters the room. * "Good morning miss." Said the maid as she bowed down "Right... Could you please guide me by telling me my daily schedule...?" asked Sarah hoping to ease the tension in the room "Y-yes Miss... Normally as soon as you get up you have your bath, change your clothes, and join the master and Madam for a meal." "All right, Then I'll be in your care then!" said Sarah as she smiled gently at the maid Sarah's Pov – The maid was somewhat shocked well I can't blame her cause Rubia treated maids poorly There
Sarah's Pov - (Point of View) The events of the Novel take place in the Kennedy Empire. The Novel says that the Kennedy Empire is one of the most powerful Empires since they had a lot of magic support as well as their powerful knight forces... The male lead Fredrick Nicholson Lloyd Kennedy is engaged to the villainess Rubia Mary Albert Charleston (A political marriage or an arranged marriage) at the age of 19. The novel does not mention much about the crown prince's childhood except for the fact that his mother was a noble who used her pregnancy as a reason to get closer to the position of Empress. Apparently, the woman died when the crown prince was 4. The emperor loved his child, he just didn't show it much (the guy was probably a tsundere) and he wished for the prince to find his true love which is probably why he accepted the relationship between Fredrick and Catherine (the female lead).
Previously - "Mom yesterday you referred to an incident didn't you...? Can you tell me more about this incident...?" "Yes, dear but first eat your breakfast and restore the energy you lost We can talk about the incident in the study once your father arrives." "Yes, mom." Currently - "I'm back." said the duke "Welcome back... dad." said Rubia "Dad...??" Said the Duke with tears of happiness flowing through "Yeah, or must I refer to you as father...?" "No dear I'm overjoyed...!" Rubia's Pov - Hah... I know how to deal with these situations I kind of feel really warm around the couple I guess this is what they call parental love huh... In this life, I will definitely become a daughter they are proud of even if I am not really their daughter... "Where's your mum dear...?" "Ah. She asked me to invite you to the study wh
Previously - And the reason why Rubia always took her anger out on the maids was that she was shamed at almost all the tea parties she was invited to. She was mocked by the other ladies because the crown prince did not love her or pay any attention to her. Currently - "Right, Is it true that I have been engaged...?" asked Rubia "Yes, that is right... You have been engaged to the crown prince of the Kennedy Empire." answered the Duchess "I see. " Sarah's Pov - She did not mention that it was a political marriage probably cause didn't want to add to the stress after the previous incident. "If you wish then we could annul the engagement since you will probably feel uncomfortable being engaged to a person you hardly remember." said the Duchess Sarah's Pov - Well yes, I could avoid some major problems in the future if I annul this engagement out of m
Previously - "Thank you, miss...!!" Soon all the maids had joined in thanking Rubia. * "I am truly grateful that you have accepted my apology in the future I promise you that I will repay the kindness you all have shown me by becoming some worth of the 'Charleston' Name". said Sarah Currently - Rubia's memories start flowing through Sarah's mind. * She finds herself in an empty room with nothing but a line dividing two sides of the room. * "Where am I now..?" asked Sarah as she examined her surroundings "You've finally come. I was starting to get tired waiting for you. By the way, what's your name...?" said a familiar voice from behind Sarah "Ah. My name is Sarah James... You...! Rubia!? Is it really you...!?" exclaimed Sarah as she rushed to the other side of the line "You can't cross that line, Sarah." "Why not...?" "Only souls
Previously - "Alright... This is the last time we will be seeing each other like this... You will gradually start recovering my memories... Don't be scared... And also, you are free to do whatever with my body since it's yours know I hope you find someone who lo-." Sarah wakes up with tears overflowing. * Currently - "Good evening dad." said Sarah to the Duke "Good evening Rubia." said the duke "May I ask you something about the Westlands....? I have been a bit curious about the situation lately." "Well, it isn't that confidential but, it is surprising to see you want to know about it, Rubia.." "I just wanted to know more about the situation of the empire." "The Westlands have been the major suppliers of food grains and crops which are used to feed the commoners. But, there seems to be a problem with the harvest grounds. That's the reason why the emperor had asked me and a few

Previously -"Were there any other marriage candidates excluding me...?" asked Sarah"Hmm... There was the princess of the Southern Empire but, since her constitution is weak it is obvious that she cannot marry me. The other one was the daughter of Marquese Dinax." answered Fredrick"Dinax... I've heard about them.""They are a family known for their knights and their loyalty to the Empire."Currently -Six ladies from Noble families will come for the interview. I am free to choose at least three or four out of the six but, I doubt there'd be a majority of the ladies who are interested in the job.They may have hidden intentions like spying on me or seducing Fredrick.But they would have to be stupid if they thought of me as a foolish naive Lady. I will make sure I educate those who may intend to harm me in the future on how I am no 'Foolish Lady'..."Let the first group of Ladies in.,&r
Previously - Fredrick, I do not think I have ever be able to understand you but, I sincerely wish for you to live a good life. You deserve that. Since, I read not only the original story but also the Altered version of the story where Fredrick is not the male lead but, the villain and Rubia is never brought up. It is kind of Ironic to know that Me and Fredrick do not have the relationship of Villainess and Male Lead but, Villain and Villainess. Currently - Sarah's Pov - I liked the novel 'True Love' for a lot of reasons but, I also found it sad because the author never displayed the emotions felt by other characters excluding the Male lead and the Female lead. The feelings felt by Rubia when she was waiting for her death while the man, she loves gets married to the woman she hated. Those feelings were ignored and cast aside. The author of the Novel 'True Love' had made
Previously - "Since, your body was sensitive to magic after the poisoning incident so, I was asked to limit my usage when next to you by Sid. Your body's condition is getting better now." said Fredrick "I see... So, you’re saying that I can see Aura's when my body's cured...?" asked Sarah "Yes." "The only ones who have Aura's are the highest of nobility." Currently - An aura. It was a term that was never used in the novel 'True Love'. Fredrick has nothing to gain from lying to me and I trust him since I know my feelings for him. But, how could the author not mention anything about it in the book...? Have the events of the book altered because of me? Now that I think about it... My brother and Lady Margaret have recently started going out with the family's approval. This was not the case in the novel. Louis was someone who had absolutely no interest in anyone other than Catherine.
Previously - "My name... Its Sarah." said Rubia as she looked at Fredrick with her hands clenched "...!" "Sarah James." "It is a pleasure to meet you, Sarah...!" said Fredrick as he smiled Currently - *The couple arrive back at the palace after their date. They have their meal and take some time to talk about the Empire. * "Is it safe to say that the nobles have decided to heed the emperor’s warning to them...?" asked Sarah "I am sure you know that the noble's and aristocrats hate making choices or decisions that bring them a great loss. The nobles who plotted along with the Southern Kingdom were just trashy Counts or Barons who were about to become fallen nobles." "Of course, I am aware of that." "The one thing every noble fear is making a rash decision which may lead to the Family's downfall in the near future. They who have been labelled with th
Previously -"I had figured that you have been hiding something from me ever since long time. But I kept silent because I knew that it would be a hard topic for you." said Fredrick"...!"Currently -Rubia's Pov -He knows...?I have pictured this situation in my head countless times and the only solution I could come up with was try to evade the question somehow.But why the hell am I so nervous right now...?Am I scared... that he will leave me after knowing that I am not the real Rubia?My heart tells me to tell him the truth hoping he accepts me for who I am. But my mind tells me to think about it rationally."Before I try to answer your question could you answer my question, Fredrick?" asked Rubia"Okay." said Fredrick"When did you start having these thoughts... about me hiding something from you?""Ever since I heard from the emperor
Previously -The imperial bloodline has 'That' curse within us... I am certain that it was not a dream but, a vision that even a saint or saints could never be able to see.I know it is selfish of me but, I want to know how Rubia would react to the story.Currently -Rubia's Pov -A play made by Fredrick. Ah! I'm so curious but, I what type of play it could be... an educational play...?That sounds like something that Fredrick would make but, the expression on his face tells me that it isn’t.I'm quite excited!"These are our seats. Wait for me over here. I'll meet with Jonathan (the playwriter)." said Fredrick"Sure but, you don’t want me to come with you?" asked Rubia"How about after the play? I'll take you to meet him.""Sounds good. Thanks, Fredrick!""Of course." said Fredrick with a smile on his face*Fredrick enters th
Previously -The only question in my head is what the female lead is doing right now?Isn’t something supposed to bring the Male lead and the female lead together?The prophesy will be declared soon and the thing I worry most about... May indeed happen.But my selfishness exceeds each coming day.Currently -"Rubia... are you sure you can accompany me? You do not have to push yourself..." said Fredrick in a depressed tone as he looked at RubiaRubia's Pov -The thoughts I had from yesterday have proved to be a real pain in my neck. Today was supposed to be a day where I and Fredrick had a chance to be together and talk about each other's past... But I'm ruining it. Hahn..."I am sorry, Fredrick. I had a few things on my mind but, I do not want to throw away this chance!" said Rubia as she closed her eyes and let out a laugh"Hmm..." said Fredrick as he turned his flu
