2 Chapter 2: This is Only a Dream

Soft, like a cloud. I never felt so relaxed in my life. My body felt like I was sinking in clouds, it was perfectly warm and comfy. Which is weird since my bed was much more stiff last time I remembered.

I rolled around, before I came to a sudden realization- my bed wasn't big enough to roll on! I snapped my eyes open, only to be met with a ceiling I didn't recognize.

A warm peach colored ceiling with a giant chandelier. The chandelier was crystal, with 4 rainbow-colored gems in the center. Majestic. Wait- since when did I have such a pretty ceiling? I sat up abruptly looking around me.

It was a medieval looking room, with marble floors, a large desk, 3 loveseats colored light pink, a fancy vanity with flowers in a vase. The room had a balcony and even from my bed I could see that the balcony had a gorgeous view of a garden and the sky. The room looked expensive, one piece of furniture I doubt I could've afforded with my life's wages. The bed I was lying on was king sized and had large white pillows with soft light pink blankets. The bed also had a canopy, veil-like curtains surrounding the bed with fake white flowers pinned on them.

I laughed, "I've finally gone crazy, huh? This is quite the dream, I should be a writer with this big of an imagination."

I looked to my side, their was a humongous closet and a full body mirror next to it. "Wait a minute-" I got up and looked closely at the reflection.

It was a teenager girl with long silver hair to the chest that was covering her face. I tucked my hair over my ear and gasped, in the reflection I could now see soft rose colored eyes. They were a pale pink color, large and youthful, with long lashes framing them. She had a petite and curved nose, with rosy cheeks and soft looking lips. Her frame was slim, she wasn't exactly tall or short. She-or rather I- was wearing a white silk nightgown. The girl was gorgeous.

I gaped at the reflection, then reached up to my hair. The reflection followed my actions and as I looked closely I realized that my hair had a soft tone of pink in it. "Oh, my gosh...."

The door opened and a woman around her 20's entered. She was dressed in an uniform that was a black dress that went to her feet with a white apron tied on top, her hair was in a tight bun. She had brown hair and green eyes, the woman had potential, but wearing such simple clothes hid her beauty.

Her clothes looked strangely like a maid's uniform from the medieval manhwa I used to read. I guess my dream was about a noble woman (me) and this lady is her maid.

"Lady Celeste? Are you up early today?" The woman asked, she walked towards me.

I froze, "Excuse me- what is your name again?"

The maid's eyebrows furrowed, "My lady, are you alright? It's me, Marie, don't you remember? I've been with you for your entire life." Oh. So her name is Marie, and mine is Celeste? I'm pretty sure I've heard of the name Celeste.....eh, probably heard it on the web. I know that Celeste means heavenly in French, but wow, this dream is detailed. "Oh, sorry Marie. I'm just feeling a bit weird since I just woke up." I apologized, making up an excuse.

She nodded, "Lady Celeste, after you dress up we will head down to eat. After you eat with your cousin, young master, and your father, Lord Irenos, we can do whatever you'd like."

"Ok-wait did you say Irenos?" I halted, my eyes wide, why was I surprised? This was a dream, it made sense that the name of a dukedom from my favorite novel popped up here. Now that I think of it, wasn't there a character named Celeste? No, I'm sure I'm just overthinking things. I probably read so much isekai, that I got worked up about a simple dream.

Marie didn't hear me as she was busy finding things from my walk-in closet. "Aha! Here it is, would you like to wear the white one or pink?" She pulled out 2 dresses, the white one was long and had intricate lace on the top and on the collar a large gem, the skirt-like part of the dress was different shades of white, with a lace layer on top.

The pink one (this dream was really all about pink) was a soft pastel shade, it was sleeveless and the top was like a tube-top, the dress part was to my feet, the bottom laced with flower patterned lace. It had a fake flowers with gemstones in the middle lined up on the edge of the tube top thing. I pointed at the pink one. She hummed as she stripped me, I covered myself immediately, she didn't notice my discomfort and continued to tie a corset around my waist. This dream was way too realistic...

It took a bit to pull on the many layers of the dress, but once I did I slipped on cherry blossom heels. Marie led me to the dining room where 2 other people already sat.
