THIS WORK IS FICTION. NAMES, CHARACTERS, EVENTS, PLACES, ARE JUST A DELUSION. PLEASE READERS BE WISE IN RESPONDING.

"Elise, where's Arlen? I feel like I haven't seen her these two days" I asked as I plucked one flower petal in my hand.

Whether since when to pluck one by one flower petals became my hobby when present in this world.

"Goodbye, Mistress! The flower is to be seen as her beauty, not to be damaged like that!" elise's nagging at me.

I used to love flowers, but not for now.

Because when I see flowers, I remember a woman who only had beauty, but was very weak when she was hurt.

As with flowers, their beauty is able to make the masters who see it stunned, but very fragile when picked like this.

They foolishly always show their beauty, but always do not care when they fall into the hands of the wrong person and end ill-fated.

"Mrs!"

I woke up from my daydreams, because here it was quite boring, my mind was always floating everywhere.

"What's up, Elise?"

Elise seemed to be breathing out. "What really happened to you, ma'am? You look always daydreaming, indeed you do look always dissolved in your own mind, but haven't you lately close to Master Duke? You guys should be better now, right?" the cerocos is long.

"Just answer my question, Elise," I cut off as I lifted my hand into the air.

"I've answered, but you don't listen to me" said Elise.

"Then, say it again," I still focused on a flower whose petals had been partially removed.

Elise looked a little annoyed with me, and I felt like I wanted to chuckle a little to see her annoyed while ruffled around like that.

"Mr Duke did not come out of his study from the morning, Madam. Maybe Master Duke is in the middle of a lot of affairs about his territory," Elise explained making me nod my head.

"Okay" I replied of origin. I'm so bored, I don't know what else to do.

And I felt a little lonely when his presence was not beside me.

If I want to ride and walk in the middle of the forest enjoying the still clear air, I can not ride.

If I want to go to the market and spend money, I don't know the way and what if I get lost?

Can runyam later.

"Then, Elise. You go back in and work, I'll go back to my room first, it's so cold outside" I said, then stood up and took a slow step into my room.

I threaded a thick robe wrapped around my body, then walked slowly into the mansion.

I could have walked into his study and disturbed him, but I didn't want to be selfish either.

So all I did was go back to my room, and look for something that could be used to eat and make time pass.

For some reason, today I was so uninspired, when she was nowhere near me.

Even to attract both corners of the lips, it feels reluctant.

...🥀...

When I was on my way to my room which was a good distance away from the new back garden and I visited, I accidentally ran into a figure that made me more lazy.

With a feeling of annoyance, I also walked quickly so that he did not see me or realize my existence, but it seemed to be in vain.

Because when I had just passed it a few inches, that figure had called my name with its deadly cute voice.

"Cassandra!"

Suddenly, I stopped. I turned my body to face him while letting out a forced fake smile.

"What's Anastasia?" my many. Please speak quickly so I can return to my room.

"Uhm, I just want to call you. Because I think we don't seem to talk much even though we live on the same roof," she made me desperately try not to roll my eyes.

That's not just you, it's reality. I'm too lazy to deal with a creature full of falsehood like you.

"Yes, maybe because our rooms are far apart at once because we are busy with our own affairs, we rarely speak" I replied with a sweet smile.

"You're right. Therefore, would you mind chatting for a while with me over tea in the living room in front of a warm fireplace?" bargained for.

Honestly, I just want to go back to my room right now. However, it seemed that his current offer was also acceptable.

Because I was curious, what things would he talk to me about.

.

The sun has begun to decline, indicating that the day has begun to twilight. The accumulated expanse of colored sunlight has now fused with the beautiful gray clouds in the sky.

A glass of tea had been imprinted on my long, white fingers, sipping it slowly, and I tried to wait for the woman in front of me to open her mouth to talk to me.

Don't forget about me acting so pretentious.

"Cassandra, actually I don't just want to make small talk with you as usual. Actually, I want to apologize" she said, looking down and squeezing her dress skirt.

Oh my God your skit is so great!

"I'm sorry? Apologize about what, Anastasia?" I asked with my brows frowning, as if confused.

Actually I was confused, but confused by what plan this woman will launch next.

"I-I.e.," the girls began to shed tears.

If you're not evil, maybe I'll be an admirer of your talent.

"I'm sorry, Cassandra.... Because a-I have become a barrier between your relationship and Arlen. I just realized that Arlen never loved me even though I forced him to marry me," she explained to me a little surprised.

So this is why the man married Anastasia and betrayed Cassandra? By compulsion? Oh my god this woman really is!

I stood up from my seat then approached this woman and clasped her hands gently. "You don't need to apologize, Anastasia," I replied softly, not forgetting the look on my face that was very different from how I felt right now.

"You weren't wrong from the start. I forgive you anyway, because you're still my best friend."

Hoek!

I wanted to vomit when I heard my own words, actually I was also a woman full of falsehood.

But in the depths of my heart, I never intended to do evil to others unless they really upset me.

"really? You really forgive me?" he asked like a crying child who was scolded by his parents.

"Yes, of course," I replied with a sweet smile, which invited a happy look on his face that was definitely fake.

"Thank you, Cassandra! I've also talked to Arlen, that now we've considered ourselves as friends as before."

The arlen? Did he really trust this woman full of falsehood?

Indeed Anastasia is her little friend as stated at the beginning of the novel, but I did not expect it turns out she can still be eaten by the falsity of Anastasia.

But yes, that's it. I also have no obligation or obligation to forbid it.

"So you don't have to worry, because I've completely eliminated my feelings for Arlen! Therefore, that annoying man will be yours entirely!" as he chuckles.

Heh? Is it really like that? That easy? Aren't you so obsessed with that guy?

No matter how you speak or lie, I will never believe you either.

As sweet as any words that come from your lips, I will not be eaten easily.

...🥀...

While singing my favorite song that has a poignant meaning, I also stared out the window that was still covered in thick snow.

Since when have I become this melancholy? My heart is currently struggling with a prolonged loneliness.

Though only two days I did not meet him, but why do I look like a crazy person like this?

Does it hurt so much when you miss the person you care about? You are near him, but he is not beside you.

I hugged my knees while thinking about how my fate would be in this world.

And actually how did I get here? Where is Cassandra La Devoline's soul?

Is Cassandra la Devoline really gone so that her body is empty and I accidentally fill her body?

What if I lose my life in this world?

Will this body be filled with a new soul? Will he fall into the arms of another life?

What about my body that is in my home world?

Can I go back to my home world?

All the questions began to fill and made my head seem overloaded.

My heart was also made to pain when this sense of disrelief was rampant.

Until I didn't realize there was a necklace of hands surrounding my body.

A head I could feel landed on my shoulder, and a warm breath touched the skin of my neck.

This comfort, belongs to the figure I'm waiting for.

This warm feeling fortress, has been held back for hours by the damning loneliness raaaa. As if I didn't want to take it off even for a second.

"I'm so tired of cluttering the files that pile up on my desk. And you have the slightest intention of visiting me?"

"A-I'm afraid I'm going to bother you," I stuttered as my heart beat started racing.

His closeness to my body makes me crumble. And warm too.

"You'll never bother me. Because you're the source of my happiness," she replied, making my lower lip unable to bear to bite.

Why is he so romantic?

"Okay," I said of origin.

"I just heard you singing a foreign language song. What language is that?" her tanyakan made me look straight at her.

"Oh, it's actually a foreign language song that I don't know what it means either" I ring with a smile.

He raised his eyebrows next door. "You can sing it but you don't know what it means?"

My laughter spread in the air. Somehow his tone sounded like it was humbling me. That must be my feeling. "Haha.well, that's it."

"Actually, there are things that have been bothering me lately" he said.

"Do you want to tell a story?" The worried look on my face could not help but appear on my face. My hand is holding her hand slowly.

Arlen shook his head slowly. "No, it's not really a big deal. But, I need your help."

"Tell me."

"If you can speak a foreign language, is there any chance that you can speak Greek?"

Both my eyebrows raised. "Greek? Yeah, I can do a little."

Because when I was still abundant in treasure, I went abroad often, and I also learned a little foreign language.

He looked surprised at my statement, is there anything strange about that?

This man reached into his pocket and pulled out a small notebook and thrust it at me.

A piece of writing I can see on the surface of that old paper that was slightly yellowish in color.

"Do you know what this writing means?"

I looked carefully at the writing. "This text reads Megalos..," I muttered with a chin. "That means great."

"Megalos?" He asked and I nodded as a true sign.

"Why did you suddenly ask about this?" manya curious.

He seemed to think for a moment, but it was not the answer to my question that popped into his lips.

"There's nothing, I just want to know," she pissed me off a little.

"I have to get back to work, you better take a break." He quickly stepped away from me.

I became more confused with all his attitude. It was like something was hidden, but he was too afraid to tell me that.

And, Megalos?

I don't know why I seem to have heard those words.

...🥀...

Right now Elise is helping me wear the clothes I'm going to wear to go to the party at the palace.

The bright sky-blue dress, accompanied by a large ribbon of rhythmic tone that concerned my long brown-robed mane.

This necklace that strangles the neck but is beautiful is also perfectly attached to my neck with a little lace-shaped decoration of roses as a sweetener.

When she was done, Elise said words to praise me.

"The color of this gentle dress fits perfectly with your personality, ma'am," he praised me with a proud smile.

"Of course, I look really pretty right now, don't I?"

I can see Elise grinning her smile. "Somehow I regretted praising you" he mumbled to me chuckle.

"Thank you, Elise. Has helped me wear this very troublesome shirt to put on" I still faithfully look at my reflection in the mirror.

A mask that covered half my face was wearing because it was the concept of this party.

Now only my nose, lips, and my balls are visible when this mask is perfectly placed on my face.

"No need, Madam. That's my job."

When I was still looking in the mirror, I felt my arm being pulled. "Madam, stop reflecting! Hurry up to meet Master Duke, he must be waiting for you!" elise made me a little nervous.

Will he be happy to see my appearance?

Not wanting to linger, I obeyed what Elise said.

I walked down the stairs with my small steps, and when my steps reached the bottom floor, I saw the figure.

The smile slowly faded away.

I forgot that I'm not the only one here who's Duchess Floniouse.

So that this aggravation must inevitably be swallowed. This dislike I must accept.

At first I wanted to be alone, but in fact, there was still a third party that disturbed my pleasure.
