Reborn As A Duke's Daughter
Guilt

That night Audrey quietly came out and left only a letter as a message. Audrey had set up a magic portal of the highest quality so that it could reach a distant place, it only took two hours to reach Lottea Kingdom. Audrey arrived at a fancy restaurant, walked in and headed for the private room she had prepared for her. A woman wearing an elegant red dress was sitting casually on the sofa staring at Audrey.

“ You have been waiting for long? “ Audrey sit down and take off her cape “ No problem, I can't believe you're an eleven-year-old with that body of yours “ Audrey chuckles softly “ I'm really eleven-year-old Miss Maria or to be more polite I should call you Countess? “ smile staring Countess Maria “ No need, call me Miss just to be more relaxed. I've read your letter, what business do you really mean? “ Audrey with friendly smile sweet “ So we'll get to the point. I want us to be business partners, I wish you had enough land in Viscount Graham's territory and you intend to sell it right? “ Countess Maria nodded somewhat confusedly from where did Audrey find out she was going to sell the land? “ How do you know I'll sell it? “ looked suspiciously at Audrey “ No need to be suspicious, before I sent a letter to Miss Maria, I was already eyeing the land so I investigated it first. I suggest you not sell it to others because you will regret later “ Countess Maria more confused “ Why should I regret? It was just infertile and arid land better sell it “ Audrey shook her head and began to explain everything.

Countess was quite surprised by that despite slightly disbelieving it “ Why are you so sure about that? “ Audrey leaning on the sofa “ I've said I investigated it first, after all it's not the most important now. Before Miss Maria signs the land title with the Viscount it is best to cancel the plan to sell the land. After you agree we will discuss the real business oh and do not forget you only have two days to think about it. Then I will go first “ Audrey leaves the confused Countess alone, while away from the crowd Audrey immediately activates the magic portal.

Inwardly he hoped that Countess Maria would become his business partner. Arriving at the forest lake near the duke Audrey's palace immediately ran towards the duke's palace and returned to his room, exhausted Audrey instantly fell asleep. The next day at noon Audrey got a message, a letter sent from the Kingdom of Lottea. Slightly nervous Audrey read it and smiled brightly ‘ Very good ‘ keep the letter in the box, Audrey walks out the room to meet Arcel who is practicing sword. Waiting at the resting place while looking at the increasingly stable Arcel sword training process.

At rest Arcel immediately approached Audrey “ Brother, how do I practice? The better, right? “ full stare binar on Audrey “ Yes you're getting better. Is it time to rest? How about relaxing in a normal place? “ Arcel with a nodding spirit.

The two of them walked together towards Audrey's favorite shade tree, sitting on the grass and enjoying the coolness of the angina. It did not even take long for the two to fall asleep by leaning against each other. In her dream Audrey saw the figure of a woman who had been fracturing and then disappeared, and another smaller figure called out to her while crying hysterically trying to reach the slowly lost body. Surprised Audrey woke up looking at the orange-colored sky, somehow her chest hurt to see the scene in her dream. Adjusting the breath Audrey tried to calm down, then woke Arcel who was still asleep “ Arcel woke up “ Arcel slowly opened his eyes, Audrey invited him to come back.

After taking a bath Audrey still remembered her dream this afternoon, Audrey tried to forget about it but failed. “ My head is dizzy, maybe I am not feeling well I should go to bed early “ walk on the bed and lay his body on that soft bed. Again, in her sleep Audrey dreamed the same thing and it made her wake up again. Until the morning before Audrey was unable to fall asleep quietly and ended up with a black office in her eyes. Just washing his face, the butler came in a hurry and told him that the duchess was dying. Audrey runs to Devina's room and finds Devina dying.

Audrey approached him and crouched down beside the bed, clasping Devina's hand tightly. “ What is going on? Why did you get to be like this?! Where's healer? “ Audrey somehow felt angry and concerned to see Devina's condition. The servants were silent, the duke was in another kingdom as an envoy and had not heard this news.

In the afternoon the funeral of the duchess devina was held with the absent duke. When everyone was gone, Audrey was still faithful in front of Devina's tombstone. Audrey's genuine feelings really made her sad and devastated. As the day grew darker, the butler and Caesar asked Audrey to go home. In Devina Audrey's own room and recalls Devina's words before she died. Audrey took a town from inside the drawer and opened it, there was a necklace with emelard-colored pendants and a letter.

“ Dear sorry I can only give you this. Actually I was planning to give it to you when your debutante was later, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to. So, I'll give it to you right now. That necklace is a precious necklace for Mom. I made it myself specifically for you, there is a big enough mana in it that will be useful for you later. I know since you were born your median has been broken and not functioning normally, but I can't do much. I left some medicines and others, I hope they're useful to you. I hope you'll always be happy, I'm sure your daughter will be very strong someday. When I was pregnant, I always looked forward to when you would be born and your father, when I first held you it felt like a dream, seeing you grow up healthy I was so happy. Rey Mom loves you so much “

Audrey's gaze was blurry, tears kept dripping nonstop. Audrey hugged the letter and grasped the necklace very tightly. ‘ I-I am not your daughter, your daughter is dead she.she is gone you will meet her. Forgive me for seizing your daughter's body, I also don't know why it happened ‘ guilt started to grow in Audrey's heart, seeing so sadly Devina to the real Audrey, too, while Devina was sick, Gabry, who had become Audrey, did not care about her. Last night Audrey cried in Devina's room hugging the letter and the necklace. At midnight the necklace pendant let out a dim light and then extinguished. In the morning Audrey woke up with red eyes, she still felt devastated by Devina's death rather feel guilty for not being able to play her daughter at the last moment.

Not wanting to slump any longer, Audrey prepared to meet Countess Maria. The necklace Devina gave him wore and hung nicely on his neck. Going to use the magic portal that he had prepared, Audrey soon arrived near the restaurant when she first met Countess Maria. His face looked stiff and serious, making Countess Maria a little confused, they talked about the plan regarding the management of the land and what was stored in it in detail for hours. Countess Maria was a little surprised by what was stored in her wasteland, grateful she had not sold it and inexplicably grateful to Audrey. After discussing everything for the initial stage plan, Audrey went somewhere but did not return home.

Wandering around in the Kingdom of Lottea to appease the heart was Audrey's goal. Away from the crowd standing on top of the high wall staring at the crowd below. Her heart felt guilty considering that Devina was related to her dream back then, she was sure that the woman who slowly disappeared in her dream was Devina and the crying girl was the real Audrey.
