New life

Yes, you might be right, I sure did hit my head somewhere ,so let's not make this hard for any of us , I just want you to tell me something after that we will be on our way , hmm, what do you say!" she said with a slight shrug of her shoulders.

They two men exchanged glances,and whispered something in low tones, after some minutes the one with a droopy eye spoke up.

" ok, Lady Camille , as you wis--

"Wait a minute, did you just call me Camille?" She interrupted

" yes my lady , that's your name" the redhead added

" Yes! Indeed, it's my name", she replied absentmindedly, is fate playing a joke with me? she asked herself, and signaled him to continue

" what do you wish to ask Lady Camille"

" I seem to forget some things about me, perhaps you can help jog my memory by telling me about the owner of this body, '' she said as the man's jaw dropped.

Recalling her mistake, tried to clear the air of any misunderstanding " I mean tell me more about myself" she said to the already confused men.

" Lady Camille, you're the first daughter of duke Gulley Andrews and Lucy Andrews duchess of the South your mother died while giving birth to you. Your father was forced by the Earls to take a new wife , and he married his concubine, now duchess Grace, who was then pregnant, to take care of you during infancy.

"When duchess Lucy was pregnant with you , on a rainy day a woman dressed in all black visited the Duke, and insisted on talking with your mother. All efforts to throw the woman out proved abortive because she stood rooted to the ground . after much deliberation your mother came out with your father to see the woman".

" She insisted on talking to your mother alone, and your mother for some reason agreed and talked to her , rumors had it that she was a witch, because she disappeared right after speaking with your mother".

" you were delivered on a full moon night, after delivering you your mother died immediately".

" It was rumored that you were cursed by the witch, and you killed your mother by sniffing the very life out of her.

" Some months after duchess Grace gave birth to the second daughter of the duke, at her naming ceremony a fortune teller was brought by the duchess to tell her future , but the fortune teller told yours instead and he was beheaded for that.

" What did he say, that got him beheaded" Camille asked with a prickled interest

" Am not sure you would like to hear this my lady" grinned the redhead

" Trust me, I've heard many times but my ears didn't bleed" She said for the redhead to continue

" he uttered blasphemous words against you my lady, saying you're the reincarnation of a sorceress and you will bring untold wonders to the four lands, these are the exact words he said that cost him his life".

" Since then , you've been sought-after by many to capture you ,others tried to assassinate you, but Duke Gulley locked you securely in your chambers, far away from the eyes of the people and that's his own way of protecting you ".

" But your father fell ill not long ago. Two nights ago there was a shooting star, and a phoenix was sighted outside the city gates, the duchess was afraid of your prophesied power awakening, so she paid us to deliver you to the duke of the sou--".

He was cut shot by Camille's sudden laugh , she laughed so hard that her shoulders were shaking, with tears at the corner of her eyes.

" It's been a long time since I've laughed out loud " , she said to the already confused men .

' Great , just great ,I transmigrated to a body that was reincarnated. isn't that great,? she asked no one in particular and continued laughing. After some minutes she stopped laughing and her gorgeous face turned serious again, she squinted her eyes and looked at the man who was terrified at her sudden change .

" You said my step-mother was afraid of my powers awakening right? that was why she she drugged me or should I say poisoned "

She said the later part to herself and asked him with a sharp gaze .

" Yes it seems that way, " he replied immediately.

" How then ,did you get me out of the city , if actually I was being guarded? ".

'" The duchess men drugged you and brought you outside the castle, and we paid a farmer to carry you on his carriage with his cabbages he's delivering outside the city gates" he confessed .

Camille sniffed her dress , she indeed smelled like cabbages.
