1 Chapter 1

"They got married and they live happily ever after- EHHHH WHY AREN'T THERE ANY INFORMATIONS ABOUT CELESTINA?" Liliana is a 21 years old who love reading "The Duke Lives for Me". The story was cringe and overused but who doesn't like a little bit of heart wrenching romance? A duke chasing for a helpless girl and doing everything for her, showing up like a prince charming whenever she's in danger.

However despite the main characters having happy ever after endings and fluffy side stories, why aren't there any informations about Celestina? The author is seriously biased. Celestina is the sister of the bad villain who was there only to show the female lead's kindness. But her words in the novel throughly touched Liliana and instantly becomes her favorite character.

Liliana grumbles and quickly get ready to college. She crosses the road and guess what? The famous reincarnation truck hit her and her soul flew into the novel and now she lives as Celestina, a poor orphan who will be adopted by the famous duke, Duke Ashdown.

"Wake up everyone!" The caretaker wakes every child in the orphanage.

"Huh? Why are there people? Where am I?" Liliana looks at the beds surrounding her. There're 6 tiny beds in total in this small room.

"Celestina! Hurry up! Ms. Vivi will be mad if we're late!" Liliana's ears raises at the sound pf that name. Celestina? Where?

She looks around the room and doesn't see anyone else. She then look back at the kid and see the kid staring back at her.

"Huh? Me?" Why is my voice different? No- why is there Celestina at the first place. Where am I?

"Of course you! Come on faster!" The boy grabbed her hand and her blank mind comes back to her brain. Why is my hand so tiny? Then she accidentally looks at a mirror.

"Oh my god!" She stares at the mirror shocked. Why am I here? Who am I?

"Celestina? What's wrong?" The boy asks.

"W-what what is this..."

"YOU RASCALS! HOW MANY TIME SHOULD I TELL YOU NOT TO BE LATE!" A woman in her grey dress comes in suddenly and grabs both of their hands. She then roughly pulled both of them out to a cafeteria.

"Eat and come to my office." In the plate is a small bowl of potato soup and a glass of water next to it.

Liliana tastes the soup. It was awfully bland and has a weird taste to it.

"What's wrong Tina? They serve potato soup today! It's the most delicous!" The boy from just now says.

'This is delicious?' Liliana looks at the children in the cafeteria and realizes they all look happy to have the soup.

"Would you like another bowl?" She pushes the bowl carefully to the boy and the boy nods in excitement. She feels pity for these children who think these bland and weird soup is delicious.

"Celestina! Ambrose! Ms. Vivi calls for you." A child less than 7 years old comes and call for the two of them.

"Quickly! We need to go or she'll get angry!" Ambrose hold Celestina's hand and runs to Ms. Vivi's room. He knocks on the door timidly and quietly opens the door when Ms. Vivi says "Come in"

"Didn't I say to come here after you eat?" She sharply looks at the two children and asks roughly.

"We-we were still eating." Ambrose barely manages to say.

"Oh? You dare to defy me now?" Ms. Vivi slams her pen to the table and strodes to both of them. She then slaps Ambrose face.

"HOW DARE YOU DEFY ME! HOW DARE YOU-"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Liliana is shock, the woman slaps Ambrose with so much force that his checks are red and swollen.

"Oh? You dare to defy me too?" Ms. Vivi looks at Liliana and raises her hand ready to hit her.

"NO- NO ITS ALL MY FAULT! Hit me instead" Ambrose uses his skinny hand and holds the hand of Ms. Vivi that's about to slap Liliana.

Liliana opens her eyes in shock and looks at the shivering boy.

"NO! Please don't do this." Liliana begs when she sees Ms. Vivi drags Ambrose to a wooden door, she knows what she's about to do. But her tiny body is nothing compare to Ms. Vivi huge build.

Ms. Vivi pushed Liliana who is desperately holding to her leg hoping to stop her, Liliana's head hit the wooden chair.

When she manages to stand up, the wooden door is already locked and Ambrose's scream rang through the room.

"NO! No IM SORRY PLEASE! PLEASE STOP IT!" Her tears is unstoppable, she thinks of the selfless boy who was hit instead of her and her hit the wooden door with all her might. But Celestina's body is too skinny and she didn't eat anything earlier. She faints.
