" My Lady,What are you doing there?" a little brunette maid rushed to her as she helped her up from the chair
" you will get sick !"
" Cici?" Iliana looked at the little brunette and tested out ." Yes my lady?"
Iliana saw Cici looking her with a worried but cautious look and sighed .In the entire novel other than Cici no one treated Chelsea well enough .
" Cici; We're going back go and ask headmaster for a week leave "
" but-"
" Just go I will tell you the reason once you come back"Cici looked doubtful but still went out .Iliana looked at the closed door and sighed once again, in just a day she felt that she has aged by ten years .
The reason she asked for leave was simple she had to cancel the engagement between her and Rogue. From the looks of it the Fl had yet to arrive so instead of waiting for Rogue to abandon her with humiliation she should walk out with her head held high .
It didn't took long for Cici to come back afterall Chelsea was the daughter of the Prime minister even if she wasn't treated well she had the token of Kaisen behind her back . The head master was very amicable and agreed easily .Once Cici came back Chelsea started to pack up with the help of Cici ; don't look down on Chelsea , her entire room was filled with stuff and more stuff. It was difficult enough to grab hold of a particular thing .
While Iliana was rummaging around to grab hold of decent dresses and shoes a filmsy lingerie caught her eye .Once that lingerie fell in her eyes ; she felt her entire body go cold." Cici ! Cici ! What is this??" Iliana was so out of it she was nearly jumping like a cat on hot tin .
" Didn't you purchased this to seduce his highness the Crown prince; My Lady?" Cici tilted her head as she answered .
Iliana felt her heart drop when she heard Cici's response.
Seduce? SEDUCE ?????????
Her jaw dropped open as she felt her soul leaving her body ; No, No , No who ....The crown prince,???
" Cici ! Cici , please say that I didn't, say it I didn't do it !" Iliana was so anxious that she hurriedly grabbed Cici by her shoulders and started shaking her back and forth.
" No my Lady, You're yet to seduce his higness The Crown Prince; You said if you failed to get him accompany to the ball , You will have him cook rice with you* but why are you asking about it as if you don't know about it? "
(* Have bom chick bow bow )
Maybe the relief of not being humiliated by the crowm prince was a lot bigger than she imagined, Iliana ended up confessing to Cici about not remembering anything .
" WHAT-"
" Shh_"
Iliana hurriedly hushed Cici ;
Chelsea had done all kind of hoolabalo to get the attention of the Crownprince, She didn't want anyone to think that she was faking amnesia to get The Crown Prince notice her .
" Don't tell anyone ; They will think I'm trying to seek attention from them "
Cici looked a little bewildered but nodded earnestly, she has grown up together with Chelsea thus she more or less considered Chelsea as her sister , hence when she saw the crown prince treating Chelsea in the worst possible manner ;It made Cici 's heart ache .
" Miss Kaisen " a mellow voice called out from the outside before Iliana could talk more with Cici . The voice was gentle and charming , Iliana tried hard to recollect the owner of the voice but as usual nothing popped up thus she could only ask Cici to open the door for her to see who the visitor was .
" Sir Jones" Cici 's voice was polite on the surface but Iliana could hear the stiffness in it . She subconsciously frowned who made her maid to act like that?
" My Lady , Its Sir Jones ; The help of his highness Crown Prince "Once Cici cleared the identity of the visitor ; Iliana's frown deepened , Yes; Now she got it . Harry Jones, The right hand man and the butler of Rogue Kellington ." Miss Kaisen , I hope you are alright, The Crown Prince is deeply regretful about what happened the other day, it wasn't his intention to ignore you but the work of Imperial Palace made him quite 'busy' " .
With his Caramel hair and eyes ; Sir Jones had a very gentle demeanour but Iliana wasn't fooled .
' Busy?'Haha , don't make her laugh . She was quite certain that Rogue Kellington only sent Sir Jones to pacify Chelsea ; at the most she was his fiancee in name and as the Crown prince he could never be rude to a woman much less a woman who was his own future wife ." there is no need for the apology ; it was my fault . Knowing how busy the Crown prince usually is I shouldn't have tried to meet him "There was nothing wrong with what Iliana said but the bright smile that Sir Jones had slightly stiffened . Making Iliana smile a lot sincerely than before; apology? More like humiliation .Rogue Kellington wanted to humiliate Chelsea .He didn't cared about her life and death , her life was so small in his eyes that even the smallest matter of the Palace made him busy? He was still seventeen a student in magic academy what matters could he have?It was true that Rogue was built on the typical loyal tyrant Ml but Iliana felt a sudden rage ignite in her heart for Chelsea . No matter how arrogant she was at the most she treated Rogue to the best of her abilites , yet he left her alone to sit outside his dormitory much less it was raining so heavily!" Cici see the guest out ; My head hurts "" My Lady this bouquet-"" Take it back Sir Jones or if you're too scared to ; then throw it away .You and I both know how busy the Crown prince was in reality , yet he left his own fiancee alone in such a heavy rain until I got a fever high enough to make me faint , now does his highness thinks that a flower bouquet will be enough to be an apology or may be it is because my life is not worth even to those flowers is it ?"
Sir Jones face changed as he opened his mouth to retort but Was interrupted by Iliana." Close tbe door Cici "
The CrownPrince might be the future Emperor but Chelsea was her master thus Cici could only follow Chelsea's order and shut the door blocking both Sir Jones and the flower bouqet .
'Humph ; what did Chelsea see in that petty bastard?"
Iliana snorted and took hold of the currently hidden lingerie .
At first she wanted to keep it but the more she thought about the reason for its purchase the more dissatisfied she became .'Its better to burn it ' .With that she threw the filmy lingerie into the fire place and began packing ." Isn't she?" " Did she got herself suspended?" " More like kicked out" " Shhh she will hear you " " I can hear you " was what Iliana wanted to shout out but somehow restrained herself . She just couldn't understand the reasom for this long ass path between her dormitory and the entrance , what was the point? She has been walking for atleast twenty minutes yet the entrance was hardly in sight .While the long walk didn't annoy her the constant staring did.The original owner was narcissistic enough to consider her beauty the cause of the constant staring but Iliana want that shameless , not only their were staring was quite unnerving ; the constant whispering was annoying too. People were really funny, they whispered loud enough for the other party to hear them but at the same time they were scared of being heard? Quite hypocritical if you ask her .'Sigh ' Once Iliana reached her carriage she let out a long
After Chelsea was done throwing tantrum in front of her father and brother; she was too embarrassed to even leave her room . ' Why did she do it?' She wasn't the original Chelsea; instead she was just a random stranger who was substituting in place of the original Chelsea. So why was she so mad at Rubious and that poor excuse of her father? " Miss; Butler Hubert is here to call you for dinner " " Tell him , I'm going to eat in my room " Dinner? hah ! She wasn't going and why should she? to be scorned? Nope.This lady isn't thick skinned enough to sit at the FL seat at the dinner table and endure all the taunts thrown her way .Cici looked at her young miss who has bundled herself in her blanket . She didn't know what happened but ever since being left out in the rain by the crown prince ; her master has changed . But as a servant it would be a dereliction of her duty if she tried to pry into her young mistress's matter , thus she co
While Sir Kaisen was busy worrying about His messed up emotions.Chelsea finally finished cleaning her room .Looking at the now half empty room she couldn't help but feel a little out of place . ' ???? ' How could this be wasn't Chelsea an arrogant spendthrift? Then how come her room only had this much stuff? " Miss what should we do now?" Cici looked at the things piled up in the corner and felt her eye twitch, her mistress didn't even leave a single hairclip from being thrown into this pile ." What else ? Send it father now that I'm no longer engaged to the Crown prince how can I a woman of lowly status claim ownership to these noble things?" " What if his highness Crown Prince send your gifts back as well? " this was what Cici was worried about the most afterall her mistress was indirectly slapping the Crown prince face ." Burn them " "What!" Cici looked at Chelsea and felt the sudden murd
" Thank you God " Chelsea looked at the annulment contract and felt as if a huge boulder was lifted of her chest . Cici saw the ' I can just kiss you' expression on her young miss face and sighed ; if she remembered correctly ; Chelsea wasn't this happy even when she got engaged to the Crown prince. As a matter of fact she thought it originally belonged to her , so instead she behaved that the matter was ought to happen .Chelsea on the other hand paid no attention to Cici ; she was happily day dreaming about her future life ; In the novel Chelsea died because she was a hindrance between the Ml and Fl . As long as she stay away from the Ml and Fl ; she will be able to live up to her old age ! Haha, now she doesn't have to die of execution in five direction! Wasn't it a joyful matter ; oh she was so happy , she could fly!!!" Oh ; did you get those things I asked for?" Chelsea turned to look at Cici and asked ." Yes " Cici was a little hesitant ,
" I'm asking something ! Did you or did you not hit Chelsea , Answer me !" Though Sir Kaisen 's voice was a lot calm and he spoke in a reasonable tone ; Lady Marie couldn't help but shiver . She was very clear about her husband's character the calmer he was the more dangerous he became ; this was one of the reason she never threw a tantrum in front of him after he more or less abandoned her in this marriage . " I ... It's not that I wanted to hit her so hard but My lord you know how unreasonable Chelsea is ; she was a little disrespectful towards me and I ... I as a mother just taught a lesson to her " Because this matter was publicised by the third son , Lady Marie couldn't wash her hands off ; she could only throw the responsibility at Chelsea with the hope that her husband will let her go ." So you mean to say that , this is the first time , you raised your hand at Chelsea?" " Yes that is of course !" What a joke ! She wasn't a fool , why e
Chelsea on the other hand had no idea what was going on in the northwest wing ; In the Kaisen palace each family member had their own wing or corridor. The Wing solely belonged to them , Chelsea was given the south wing which was farthest in the back unlike Lilian who still owns ( despite being absent) the east wing which was a lot closer to the main palace .But this was the best for our protagonist . With the help of magic ; Chelsea finished her first edition of manga in a few days and was currently working on the last panel . ' Sigh ' ; magic was truly wonderful .If she had magic in her previous world then she wouldn't have to spend nights being awake . "To be continued; " " What are you doing?" " Jesus fucking christ !" Chlesea internally screamed . There was no sound of footsteps nor anyone made an announcement of his arrival but somehow ; the sneaky Robin ; the second brother made his way behind her ." Second brother; you
"What?" The brown haired sixteen years old girl trembled in fear , while her friends encouraged her from behind . Chelsea on the other hand had no idea ; why they were behaving in such a way , what she didn't know that her slightly indifferent look made her look more cold and arrogant ; even her voice that waw filled with indifference sounded as cold as a devil to these young girls ." I - I want to pursue the Crown prince, I - I , Now that Young miss ; is no longer ; his finacee you cannot i- interfere !" The warning might have been a little threatening if not for all the shuttering ; the girl did ." Good luck " Chelsea on the other hand couldn't careless ; yes it was amusing but She didn't have time for it ." Yo- You can't-" however before she could continue Chelsea passed by her ." What just happened?" " Did she really said good luck? " " Oh my !" The girl along with her freinds were co
" Are you okay ?" seeing that the group of troublemakers were gone Chelsea turned to ask The silver hair lady about her health . She didn't know much about these kind of bullying because her school in her past life paid severe attention to these kind of situations , if bully anyone the student will be kicked out of the school at once .But seeing how ths young lady nearly got burned she knew the lady might be frightened ." I- I'm okay, Thank you for saving me . I'm Rebecca Levis " Rebecaa gave a curt bow and introduced herself ." Ah sorry ; I'm Chelsea Rosalie Kaisen " Unlike Rebecaa who gave a ladylike bow , Chelsea did a gentle man bow making Rebecca blurt out laughing ." I mean ; oh no wait I will do it correctly "Chelsea tried to redo but Rebecca stopped her " Its alright , your curtsy is right considering the situation after all lady Kaisen saved me like a knight in shining armour " Rebecca chuckled a little joyfully making Cici
Chelsea walked out of the Kaisen mansion, beside her was a young knight who was humming a funny tune . Listening to that annoying tune , Chelsea nearly lost her mind " Have you played enough, Wilson Clodis?"The young knight laughed and snapped his fingers , the apperance of Brown hair and emerald eyes morphed and was replaced by Wilson's true apperance , he shrugged innocently and clicked his fingers once again , so as the handcuffs on her wrist loosened and fell on the ground ." You sure were having your fun " said Chelsea rubbing her wrist as she looked at Wilson who somehow have gone through incredible changes, before he was a gloomy sort of man , whose expression was brooding but ever since he surrendered in front of the high priest , who secretly returned back to the Empire .Wilson has changed greatly , his eyes were twinkling and he looked refreshing and sunny ." O
" See ! Lord Kaisen now what do you have to say?" seeing that the golden string was tied to Chelsea's wrist , Count Clodis forgot his previous fear and jumped up , pointing his finger at her , while he looked at her father with a maddening gleam " I always said that half bloods like these should never be allowed to have the right to be brought in the noble household, yet you were the one who opposed me , now see what this dirty mutt did to your own daughter , to her own sister ! She attempted to murder her !"" Hah , so I attempted to murder my own sister ?" Chelsea let go of Rogue's hand and stepped forward , her eyes cold and icy . ' Dirty mutt ' , ' rotten bastard ' , ' slut ', ' whore of a mother ' , when she was in the prison , these nobles made it their daily habit to come to Abarcus and insult her on a daily basis , for months she had listened to the nobles insulting her and she has always been patient regarding them but now , she can
Unbeknownst to both Lilian and Chelsea, Felix heart had taken a turn for the worst . However, neither of them had the power to peek into someone's mind and had no idea about what was going in Felix's mind as he let his hand fell down limply by his side .Chelsea gazed at the pair of rings that now tied Lilian and Felix together for all eternity and looked away , she couldn't watch it anymore . It was done and yet she could only watch as a passive onlooker , however , this wasn't the end .Lilian has played her part now it was her turn , her eyes grew cold as her gaze lightly drifted over to Agnis , who was already looking at her . Agnis 's gaze was soft yet the contempt and jeer hidden in them could no longer be masked .She was looking at her as if she was looking at someone who was already dead , Chelsea arched a brow and smiled comtemptously at Agnis , whose brows furrowed as her gaze darkened .
Agnis sudden apperance took her by surprise , Chelsea for a while didn't know how to deal with this so suddenly , Why was Agnis here ? This woman was clearly someone who naturally dealt in the dark arts , why was she with Priest Rudolf ? and why was Priest Rudolf walking along side Agnis with so much ease ? Being the follower of Lord Etah priest Rudolf should have easily decipher her mana .If priest Rudolf was walking beside Agnis it could only mean that Agnis was really good at hiding her true essence which was almost impossible given that Priest Rudolf was a priest of high calibre then it only left one reason-Priest Rudolf was colluding with Agnis !Chelsea closed her eyes and clenched her teeth , in her past life even though she wasn't allowed to have any contact with the outside world . But she knew that without the church's agreement , no one could execute her . She trusted
" Its seriously annoying " growled Chelsea sounding like a cornered animal " will you just look at the way they are watching me. If I didn't knew myself better I swear I would have thought I am standing here in my night wear "" Mistress , please calm down and stop drinking " Cici took away the fifth glass of champagne from her but Chelsea simply rolled her eyes and took another one from the passing waiter making Cici hiss indignantly " Mi'lady "" Calm down " said Chelsea, her mind wandered to the magical floating tables that were revolving around the ball room with apparent ease , On the left , their father has magicked a vineyard and orchid where the nobles were clustered around joking and giggling , once in a while they would look at her way and Chelsea would raise her glass in a mock greeting to them .On the right were the fluttering jasmine bushes , that shimmered like tiny
" You still haven't given up , my dear " said a man in white silky robe that flickered with rainbow lights quite similar to the one that shimmered when oil and water mixed , he was sipping on his tea and , every time his robes moved a new living being was born first it was a canary then it was a rabbit , one by one small creatures kept forming and he was surrounded with a bunch of animals like snow white ." I will never give up, Never! " replied a voice in a snake like croon , he was standing a bit farther away from the man in robes, his body completely distorted with nothing left other than black mana that floated around like smoke . He tried to materialize in a human form and for a while he succeded , a man with light blue hair and golden eyes appeared but only for a second , the next minute he doubled over groaning and coughing slowly dissolving in the black mist once again ." You could have bee
" Wilson! Wilson!" Jezebel screamed at the top of her lungs , a sense of fear rising in her heart . She could deal with just anybody just not the high priest without Wilson and his contacts , there will be a huge mess left for her to clear up " If that happens , how will I become the Empress!" shouted Jezebel flinging everything off from the table near her , sounds or broken glass and china resonated inside her room .She was afraid and angry , she wanted to kill Wilson for abandoning her in between but she knew that without his help , she wouldn't be able to ascend as the Empress ." This - Wilson ! How dare you leave me !" she screeched at the open window hoping to see any signs of Wilson but nothing happened , he was gone and left her ..Abandoning her in the middle of everything .Jezebel bit on her thumb nail an extremely malevolent expression on her face as she muttered furiously under her breath . She knew that her actions
" Your majesty , be as it may ..the second lady Kaisen is rumoured to be the child of the devil , how can we let this rumour circulate?" demanded Count Clodis , his smarmy eyes flickered with disgust as he took Chelsea's name . In his eyes taking the name of a half blood was as bad as stepping on a pile of cow dung ! That too when the woman was born by a prostitute , to say that woman 's name was a huge blow at his pride ." Count Clodis , pay heed to your words who said that my daughter is a devil's child ? She is born and raised by me !" shouted Lord Kaisen though he had always behaved in a gentlemanly way but when he daughter's life was concerned he could no longer control himself . To be claimed as a devil's child , dear Lord, he would have to use the blessings of his seven generations to get Chelsea out of this predicament, if he failed , No ! There was no , way he could fail , there was no option other than to fight till death !
" Chelsea? Chelsea ? can you hear me ?" Rogue shook Chelsea by her shoulders but she seemed as if she couldn't hear him at all . Her body was shaking , and she was writhing in pain , the deadened look her eyes became even more profound as she clutched her neck and screamed ." Chelsea! speak to me ! " he wrapped his arms around her but Chelsea didn't respond , she turned silent all of a sudden , too silent as if she was dead staring at him with no emotions , no light in those dark blue eyes and that scared the shit out of him . His heart twisted in agony and if he wasn't worried about Chelsea so much , he too might have lost his head ." Chelsea ! Come back to me " cupping her face he made her look right in his eyes hoping to see some kind of flicker of recognition, but nothing ." I can't " she murmured sticky like a doll reciting its line " I don't want to die , not , aga
