Chapter Three: A Leap.

In the chapter, Daisy was confessing to her best friend that she could not choose between the men.
"They are not the same, and I love them all. If only I could split my body and heart and give it to them." Daisy confessed.
"But that is not the part they would love, because like you love them differently, they love you wholly." Gisselle, her best friend replied.
"But then if, if I still had my memories, do you think it would be easier to choose?" she asked, tears brimming in her eyes.
Daisy had spent weeks mulling over the issue.
'What if she had forgotten something that would help her have an easy time picking, or did she have to choose? If she asked for more time, would they give it to her, or would they plot other ways to make her love them more?'
She had reached her breaking point. Currently, she was avoiding all of the men, and if she could avoid Isaak, her Knight, she would, but he insisted on following her everywhere.
Daisy raked her platinum blonde hair then sighed.
"Daisy, you are smart. Ask them for some time or be honest with them," Giselle advised. "but to be honest, perhaps you can focus on the land you inherited instead, I know the King said that he would help set everything up financially but-"
"Right he did, do you think that he will hold it against me if I remind him?" Daisy asked.
"I don't think so, despite everything, he is actually very business-oriented and cares deeply for his people," Giselle explained, but Daisy wasn't listening to her.
Images of Kassian's, current King and one of her lovers, crimson with a greenish glaze filled her head, his dark silky hair and his sultry mouth. Daisy shuddered, he loved pulling her hair and forcing her gaze to meet his.
'Look at me.' He would say, in his deep rich voice, then he would call out her name. 'Daisy.'
Daisy bit her lip, and her toes curled in her boots. How was her head always on him?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Such a good line." I fangirled. "She has obviously made her choice, but…the other guys have a lot going on for them too."
My eyelids grew heavy before I could read another line, and I let the sweet slumber wash over me.
When I opened my eyes, deep green eyes stared back at me reflecting only pure hate and disgust at my sight.
Startled, I pulled away from him and took the sheets. I then covered my body pointlessly with it. As though it could shield me from his malice.
"Wh- who a-," before I could ask my question, he spoke.
"Are we done, my lady?" his voice was deep, just like Aruto's but nowhere near as friendly.
I nodded, wanting him to leave because I suddenly felt very unsafe with him.
The blonde-haired man stood from the bed, naked. When he did, his beautiful and muscular body was bathed in the moonlight, he grabbed a stray towel from a chair then wrapped it around his waist. The man then turned to the door and left, he was still hard. But he…
My hand trembled, but I decided to focus on something else, waking up.
Okay, this is... how the hell should do I wake up?
"Wake up, Annabelle!" I said to myself.
I closed my eyes and opened them again.
I dropped my sheets and slapped both palms on my cheeks.
"Ow!"
Why did everything feel so vivid? I still felt the wetness between my legs and a dull throb of pleasure that pulsed through me each time I adjusted my position.
I have never had such a dream, where I was fully conscious. I frowned, suddenly feeling uneasy.
As I pulled my hands away, my fingernails dragged a few strands of my hair.
-Black?-
-Why is my hair black? Did Mimo dye my hair? Why would she though?-
I took a fistful of my hair to examine it, black. All black!
I turned to examine the room.
The ceiling was different from the one I have, and so were the walls. The walls were dark, a deep purple that had vine brown-like structures that almost resembled the creeping roots of plants, while the ceiling was a deep brown while mine, had been white.
The sheets?
I threw the silky fabric beside me and quickly shot out of bed. My bedspread had been cotton and orange, not purple silk!
-What the…!-
I rushed to the mirror at the end of the room. I used the moonlight to gaze at my features.
Long black hair, purple eyes with a greenish glaze, clear skin, a tiny beauty spot under my right eye and a naked voluptuous figure: I was trim and petite, not shapely and tall, I had brown freckles on my skin, but they weren't there anymore. I touched 'my' face. It was beautiful, enchanting even, but it was not mine!
"This isn't me! This is not my body! Where the hell am I? Where is my body?"
Before I could stop myself, I let out a yell!
"MILO! MILO! What the…"
Men in heavy armour barged in yelling, 'my lady' 'my lady' then turning away when they noticed that I was naked.
"…hell is going on." I trailed in a low voice after the men barged in.
I was naked and screaming! I bet I looked like a lunatic but did that even matter? I shouldn't be here!
I covered my body or what I could with my hand, but obviously, that didn't have much effect on the situation.
"My lady!" A brown-haired maid swooped in and took one of my sheets from the bed then covered my bare body with it.
"My lady, are you alright?"
"N-no no, I am not!" I said, and everyone turned on high alert.
I leaned in and whispered to the maid, the only person who had dared to come near me.
"Who and where the hell am I?"
"P-pardon my lady?" she asked puzzled.
"Where the hell, and who the hell am I?" I repeated my question in an even lower tone, and she flinched as though she thought that I was testing her. That I would harm her if she did not give me a satisfactory answer.
"My lady…we are in Portburgh."
- Portburgh? Where have I heard of that name before?-
"Portburgh?" I repeated, trying the word on for size.
"Yes, my lady, you are Lady Vivanna Pursioe Rorei of Portburgh."
I am what now?!
"WHAT!" I yelled this and the guards, startled.
"Um, my lady are you okay?"
Immediately she asked this, I gazed at my reflection in the mirror again, and the words from the book, 'My last wish', that described Lady Vivanna came to my mind.
Purple eyes, deep black hair that often looked like the feathers of the crows of death and beauty so enchanting that it was hard to believe that she was downright evil.
Lady Vivanna Pursioe Rorei, Duchess of Portburgh.
-OH MY GOD! I AM THE VILLAIN OF THE STORY!!-
Undercover Ostrich.Please note: If you are re-reading this, I had to edit a few things out due to the new regulations on the site concerning the free chapters, but because the edit alters a few things in the future chapters I will clarify them here in a short summary: Annabelle woke up whilst she was having sex with the blonde-haired man. I have made the original chapter available in anystories, so if you have it, please read the chapter from there, it makes more sense, if not: please take it by faith that Annabelle believed that she was having a really vivid sex dream lol. Sorry for the inconvenience!

It didn't take me long to realize that silence was the best option. It was made especially clear when my butler, Erden, had rushed three well-known physicians to the mansion even before dawn. I was now participating in my last check-up with the physicians, and I have to say, I was really close to being sent away and declared mentally unfit.The only way to stay alive long enough to figure out how to exit the book was to be quiet."Everything seems okay, my lady. Did you perhaps ingest something that did not agree with you?" The middle-aged man kneeling before me asked. He was from checking my pulse with his stethoscope, or something that looked like one, and he was currently packing it away."No, no, I know that I gave everyone a scare yesterday, but as I said, I am fine now. I momentarily forgot myself, that is all." I smiled.Like hell I am, I want to go home! Milo…Oh shoot! Milo will be so mad if I am late tomorrow."My lady, that in itse

The fact that I am receiving an official summoning must mean that the White Winter ball is near.Fuck! Why do I have to go through this?I didn't even know that I was fucking a Knight and it was more like he fucked me, I didn't even get him anywhere!-That's hardly a proper defence but still. - I sighed. -And I'm not Vivanna! I'm just a sex-starved, I mean was, I was a sex-starved lawyer who just went to sleep!-Maybe if I had gotten laid when Milo had suggested I wouldn't have easily been convinced that it was a sex dream!"Are you not going to open it? My lady?" The maid asked jolting me from my thoughts."Oh!..uh" I gazed at the letter again.In Envia, it was customary for someone to open a letter, especially an official one, before a witness for it to be considered read."What is your name?" I asked the brown-haired maid, and she frowned.-Did she frown because I am supposed to know her name, or because

"You, pick my outfit for the day." I pointed to the maid with the timidest looking posture."y-yes!" she said, and I recognized her voice as the one that had stammered outside my door.The girl had long brown hair held in such a tight bun that I was almost sure it would peel right off her scalp. Her outfit was so stiff, it was like she had starched it for longer than the recommended duration. She looked like a walking box.-I don't even think the wind would affect the dress.-Was it her first day here?Or is she acting like this on purpose?"Stay here till I come back from my bath, you alone shall dress me," I said, and the rest of the maids had stiffened."Yes, my lady." They replied nonetheless, but they each sent her an apologetic look.The 'new' maid's green eyes filled with tears, as though she had truly expected the worst. But I didn't comfort her after all, I didn't know her side."Let's go." I said to the t

I had worn the spiceberry coloured gown that Mary had picked out, and then afterwards, I had forced her to change out of her ridiculous box!We were now about to leave the estate but not before she had shown me Vivanna's office.It had been a gorgeous space; the walls were literal bookshelves while her desk sat in the middle. There were two golden furnished couches at the centre of the room. The couches sat opposite to each other and between the couches, was a globe alcohol holder with in-built cooling stones that produced a cold mist indicating the degree of coolness. On the opposite side of the room from where Vivanna's desk sat, there was a wide and lavish golden fireplace with a large beautiful painting of the dutchy sitting above it.I know that the duchy is going bankrupt, but I don't think that I would be willing to part with anything in that room. The clothes and jewels were fine, but that room. I would leave it like that.Speaking of jewels, I co

The town looked vibrant, and the people themselves looked cheerful. But that was probably because I was looking from a distance. The route to the club was not at the heart of the dutchy; it was on the hill that overlooked the town.I could see why the club failed, who in their right mind would like to travel up a steep hill when they were pissed drunk? No noble would bother with such a club, but perhaps it had been tailored to suit the townspeople.The road winded up the hill, a route which had way too many potholes. Each time the carriage shook, my body was forced against Erden's rock hard frame.I had to grip the seats at some point for stability but this, in turn, caused my hand to continuously graze his muscular thighs.For my last stunt, I stood in the jerking carriage wanting to sit next to Mary, so that I could successfully re-recite my celibate vows, without too much stimulation. But the driver had hit a pothole so deep that I smacked my hea

He had pushed her too far.Erden sighed.He hadn't had a choice, she was acting differently, and he hadn't known why. Ever since morning, had she lost her mind? Or was it a new drug this time?Still, he had expected her to tell him to see him in her 'office' or rather, her playroom.The pain she usually inflicted did very little to Erden, he didn't mind it. Hell, maybe she even allowed him to hate her. It was oddly relaxing.It was an odd feeling. Erden had never met anyone that he could hate more than himself, but…Vivanna always surpassed his expectations.Erden swore his loyalty to the prince because he admired him. The prince shone in Erden's eyes, his ideas were bright and revolutionary, but in the shadows there lurked too many corrupt nobles who thrived in the old system. He needed hands and legs, and Erden had vowed to be them. Especially to their most significant threat at political stability, Portburgh.The prince was n

"You look uncomfortable, Viva," Bea said my name as though it was a weapon."Do I?" I asked straightening my posture. "I wonder why?""Me too, your family saved a life, you know." She smiled. "As I'm sure you know, twins are akin to taboo among the nobility, and so one of the twins lived her life in a wine cellar, among rats and smelly water. Fed stale bread twice a week, on good days.""Should we name the girls?" Bea asked then plopped her legs on her desk in the most unladylike manner.-Seriously, she behaves just like Milo…- I gawked. -I should probably leave though…-I turned my gaze to the door, uncomfortable by the conversational direction."My lady, it's storytime. Don't leave." She smiled. "I desperately need to hear your answer because that will depend on the level of partnership.""Partnership?" I frowned, and she stilled."I want to help you, and in the same way I need your help.""Yet I am the o

"The more the girl read, the more Beatrice brought books, until finally, she brought her homework books, on politics, economy, you name it. The girl read it and summarized its contents to Beatrice, who in the evening would recite to 'mama' and 'papa'. Fun things really." 'Beatrice…Milton?' Said."The girl loved the books, and Beatrice loved the attention she received from her parents. So when the girl in the cellar said that she wanted to go outside. Beatrice's first response was… 'Don't! There are monsters out there'…"I had leant forward in my seat, following every word 'Beatrice?' Uttered."So Beatrice expected the girl to go, 'Monsters! Oh no!' but instead the girl asked, 'what's that?'.""Beatrice began explaining what monsters were, but they were not enough words to convince the girl to stay in the cellar. Well, except one phrase. Beatrice looked at the girl in the cage and whispered. 'You', 'you are the monster. That is w

Your Last Lie to Me! {Book One} Final Author's Note of Book One
I know, I know, I promised more Vivanna and Kassian, but as I was writing, the Envian arc turned out bigger than I thought it would. {Please don’t stone me, I am a terrible planner} So, I decided to focus on background information that will play key roles in book two. Though I wanted to add more Envian adventures, it wouldn't be fair to do so burned out; that way, I can give more thought to their relationships and the flow of the story. This is a great place to end book one and perhaps take a breather before I start planning for book two. So far, you have met or 'heard of' (ahem) the major leads, and now book two will be centred on: Daisy, Erden, Kassian, Bryant, the demon, a bit of travelling to different continents with Isaac and more of fierce Vivanna, lol, unfortunately, the bumbling and uncertain Vivanna dies in book one and comes back far more villainous in book two. I’d also like to thank you so much for reading.

“Wake Field Dutchy, ran by the Mint household, has acres and acres of farmland where we plant various kinds of tea….”The meeting went on in that fashion until finally, Augustine called on me.“I’d like to hear what Portburgh has to offer?” he said.Snickers filled the hall as whispers of ‘country bumkin’ and ‘harlot’ surfaced.“Well, this is a surprise,” I said, then stood from my seat, letting the white dress flow freely from my body.“As you know, Portburgh is on the south of Envia-,”‘Is she giving out geography lessons to stall?’….-Yes, I am-‘Probably reminding herself of its existence.’-Give it a rest.-“…and North-east of Cursix.” I cleared my thoughts, and my mind flashed back to the map of portburg in Vivanna’s office, “ You said that Aquellia and Dia were l

That way, I can limit the suspicions.“So? What the hell do you want.”Was I coming on too strong?“The prince says that you do not need to attend the seminar.

The purple patch of discolouration on the King’s neck was proof of poisoning, yet he could stand before me, before all the nobles in the room and pretend that there is nothing wrong with him.Patricide, in nobility, is not rare. In fact, when I was reading about his death, I didn’t particularly find it shocking that his son was poisoning him, however seeing it with my own eyes…“Child, your father would be proud to see you stand here today.”I doubt it. The glimpse of him from my nightmares told me that I could do nothing to make him feel proud.“yes.” I smiled.“I heard that you lost your concubine.” He sighed, “sometimes things like that happen, but I hope that you will be careful in wrapping up this matter.”“Even though he is a fallen prince, he had allies.” The King whispered to me, “If it is not handled well, this matter could cause a nationwide war.&r

“…and now, I declare, you, Lady Vivanna Pursioe Rorei, the official dutchess of Portburgh and an official part of one of the two dutchy households in the kingdom of Envia.” The King, a frail white-haired man, announced before applause filled the room.The event was more exquisite than I had imagined. If Kassian hadn't gifted me a white and red gown to wear to the event, I probably would have been embarrassed.Still, it's ten a.m, and everyone is in dresses rather than pyjamas. I can't really say that I favour the culture of this world…‘This world’…My world?That stupid mage, saying shit like that then paring it with ‘the people involved in the reincarnation spell, ‘including you’, had their memories distorted and gave something up because what we did was against all known laws,’So, according to him, I owe a whole lotta people but have no recollection of it.

READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. SENSITIVE TOPICS ARE DISCUSSED “Okay, last question, Why did you want to assassinate the prince of Envia.” “I didn’t.” I shrugged, “I just wanted to hit him. That can’t be classified as an assassination attempt. I mean, for god's sake, his face is soo….” I sighed. “I..wouldn't have tried to if he…if he didn’t look so much like Rodrick. Basically, it was a momentary loss of ….” I sighed then my lips sealed themselves shut before the next words could flow from me. “Hmm, are you going to proceed?” “If I don’t want to, does that mean that we can proceed with my questions now?” “Well, yes, but I do intend to pay in kind.” He shrugged, and I rolled my eyes. “When…” my voice broke, I never in a thousand years thought that I could confess this…untold tragedy to anyone. The full day’s events were a secret that I had vowed to take to my grave, but at this point, what

“Where am I?” I asked, my voice sounding groggy or was it lazy? All I was certain of is that my body felt weak and I, myself, felt weary. -Why, why was I throw into the past? Why do I keep coming back as Vivanna?- “Wow, you don’t even want to know who I am?” I was in the same dress that I had gone to the ball in, only barefoot. I made myself more comfortable by sitting cross-legged on the ground. I stared down at the floor once more, or rather the cosmos then sighed. Even if I were to search for clues…this situation is way beyond my control, and frankly…I am tired. More than just physical exhaustion, I think I have just had enough. “Neiwei? Is he alright?” I asked, and the man frowned. In fluid movements, probably because his legs had turned to inky smoke, he flowed to me, then with his sharp claws oozing his essence, he tilted my chin. “Ah… I see you had erased all the bad things that the goddess made you relive?” -The goddess

“What's this? A peace offering?” I asked, frowning at the cheap trinket she offered “No, you idiot, this is a birthday gift from me.” “I mean, I prefer money, but….” I said, then reached for the trinket. As soon as my hand touched the object she held, her pink eye turned golden, and as though that wasn’t bad enough, it began glowing. A chill crept up my spine, forcing me to still in my spot. The sounds that often framed nightfall were silenced, and even the air’s stillness could be felt. -The hell is going on? I can’t…move my body? - “Isn't it about time you wake up?” Milossa spoke in a voice that did not even sound like her own. Her lips were moving, yes, but they did not match her words. “Vivanna, or should I call you Annabelle?” the voice said, “You know of the tragedies that will befall you next. Last time your emotions were deeply disturbed, you had many people around you whose energies you could absorb, but right

“So…what? Do you want to take me out or something?” I joked.Well, my version of a joke anyway.The sound of the flickering of a lighter caused me to turn and face Monet, who already had a lit cigarette placed firmly on her lips.“Are you allowed to do that?”“Maybe not, but does it look like it changes anything?”“I never pegged you for the pessimistic type.”“Hmm…” she replied, then exhaled.The smoke pooling from her mouth framed her face, obscuring her dejected expression for only a few seconds.“I am dying, Annabelle.”“No shit, though I have to admit, this is the first time I am seeing a person die because of a disease.”“That’s rather cold-blooded, you brat!” she chuckled, then continued, “But, unfortunately for you, I am not ill, so I guess your goal has yet to be achieved?.
