Why is no one helping me?
I'm in pain!

Helpme!
God, I won't argue so help me!
Stupid kid! Don't tell me you forgot what I said!
Daniela opened her eyes and swam to the water. God damnit!
Ella shouted loudly with a half-panicked face. "Dad, please save brother!"
Ella and Daniela's father just silently stood staring at the lake, along with the servants standing behind without daring to move.
Daniela's head emerged from the water then immediately inhaled in the air, trying to expel the water in her lungs using mana.
Ella who had her whole body wet, shivered in fear. "Sister, is brother okay?"
Daniela swam to the edge with all her might, even though her body was tired from the pressure.
Their father both walked up to Daniela who was already standing to the edge and dried her heavy skirt.
Daniela's father slapped her eldest daughter's face.
Daniela is not moving.
Duchess, screaming in fear while hugging Ella.
"What have you done to your sister?!"
Daniela touched her cheek and let out a long sigh. After her mother died, the father dared to bring the mistress in and become the duchess in her place.
The duchess who now had a weak body from birth and had to sit in a wheelchair for life, the duke guarded her whole heart. Unlike the previous duchess, Daniela's mother who died from the plague and was left for granted was even thrown into the pavilion.
Daniela since childhood turned her attention to the sword, in contrast to Ella who is a genius in academics. Because Ella was born out of wedlock, Vilvred's family did not allow her to use her surname until now.
The duke and duchess can only accept it while Ella who was born first to Daniella has to stare hatefully and call her sister to disguise her age.
"What did you do to your sister? I've done a lot of things and now this is the payoff?!" shouted the duke who was not bored repeating his sentence.
Daniela who had never been afraid of the duke, stared intently at the man who should be called father. "Duke, Ella is fine while I almost drown. Does duke hate me?"
Everyone was stunned by Daniela's answer. She was indeed known as a brainless dissident lady, liked to spend all her money at once just playing around with her sword. No one expected the lady to turn things around.
The Duke turned around without a word, bringing Ella and her wife and subordinates inside.
Ella cries next to the duchess' wheelchair.
Daniela took a long breath. In the past, he stared at the envy of his father's back who was away but now there was no envy.
There's a reason why his father let him drown in the lake. Wanting to stay alive or die, he would be known to try to kill his sister out of envy.
The position of a lady who lost to the concubine's son, became the subject of ridicule of the nobles. In his first life, he never used his brain and only had fun until he was unconscious of being the entertainment material of the people as well as nobles.
Daniela is now aware that the whole world hates her but the gods don't. It is God who created everything, so why should we fear the creatures of the gods?
Daniela suddenly remembered her previous life. If not wrong, later Ella will replace my position and then spread rumors I had an affair with a knight when changing clothes in the room.
The duke, duchess and Ella immediately walked into the party room and showed Ella who was saddened by being wet all over her body and was already covered in a duke's suit.
The crown prince approached Ella and worried, the nobles became interested in seeing the condition of the duke's second son Vilvred.
"There's nothing for Your Majesty to worry about" the duchess's smile.
The duke heaved a sigh of relief while Ella cried inside the crown prince's embrace who was not worried about getting wet.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. Brother and I are fine."
Everyone's bodies stiffened. They already understand how bad lady Daniela is about lady Ella.
"Lady Daniela is really outrageous."
"Duke, you have to punish him."
"Duke, separate the lady from Lady Daniela. We're afraid he's using his sword to kill."
"Hey, don't you see how the crown prince defends lady ella?"
"Ah, right. Too bad the crown prince was betrothed to lady Daniela. And Vilvred's second lady was a perfect match for the crown prince."
Ella makes a sour face. "Please don't say such hurtful things, if you hear"
"Second lady Vilvred is indeed very wise, unlike her evil sister. Duke, just punish the first lady so as not to be mean, pity the second lady or you can throw her into the temple."
"Ah, right. Temples today need a lot of followers of gods, maybe you can establish a relationship with the temple."
The idea was noted down nicely duke.
Duchess in a wheelchair touched her husband's hand. "Daniela is also the duke's son, don't think about throwing her into the temple. Better get married."
Ella looked at the duchess's annoyance. "Mother."
The duchess smiled innocently.
The crown prince was also concerned by the duchess' statement. "Duchess."
"The crown prince is Daniela's future husband, so must be happy with her. From the beginning you were also betrothed and we did not dare to disturb."
Everyone knows the secret relationship of the crown prince and Daniela's sister but no one is distrusting her or angry that they feel Daniela is not a good empress candidate.
Daniela loves the crown prince but the crown prince loves Ella more.
Everyone who surrounded them became tense. The Duchess asked for clarity on her daughter's relationship with the crown prince.
How courageous.
While above the throne, the empress stared worriedly at the entrance. Why did only his sister show up? Where's Daniela?
The emperor who saw the empress was agitated and repeatedly stared at the entrance, becoming wondering. "Empress, who's being sought? Are there any important guests?"
The queen chimed in on the emperor. "The empress is worried about the crown prince's fiancee?"
Emperor grunts. "Ah, that shameless girl."
"Emperor, please don't say that." The queen who sat to the right of the emperor, laughed amusedly. "Liar however, you should appreciate the duchy of Vilvred and Aelthred."
"Rather than the first lady, I prefer the second lady."
"I feel the same way as well, but as a member of the imperial family, we cannot break past promises."
The emperor snorted again then turned to the empress who was still staring anxiously at the entrance, she began to suspect. "The first lady will marry the crown prince, why is the empress anxious?"
The empress was about to say something, then suddenly saw the figure she was looking for standing in front of the entrance in a wet state.
