Chapter 17: The Purpose
I've been stressing out too much since Alicia glaring at me intensely. Then I start to think about the reason why do they come to this town in the first place.
Why do princess Alicia and the crown prince come here?
How did the prince even know how Rose Bennet relation with the princess?
Is it a sly plan from the crown prince again?
This is definitely the crown prince plan!
I kept frowning while thinking about all the reasons for their arrival at this place. Prince Vincent noticed that I feel troubled and decide to take action.
"Hey, Sasha! Can I talk to you privately?", he said to me with a smile.
" Yeah, sure!", I replied to him while holding my grudge against him since I knew that this is definitely is his cunning plan.
[AT THE GUEST ROOM]
I kept glaring at him with dead eyes intensely until he tells me the reason why he comes to this town.
"Sigh, fine! I'll tell you all the details so stop piercing me with your glare", he decides to tell me the reason after that.
Apparently, the Queen seems to recognize my appearance as Rose Bennett but since my death was confirmed by my brothers and the first prince, she just thought that I am just a doppelganger of Rose Bennett.
She knew that the princess is shutting herself in her own room because of my death since I am her best friend.
"The Queen is the one who planned this so that the princess doesn't shut herself in after seeing you", the crown prince said.
"Hmmm, What did you and the Queen tell her about me anyway?", I asked with a suspicious and concerned face.
" Oh, that the Queen told me to convince the princess to believe that you're Rose Bennett", the crown prince replied with his proud-looking face.
This is mean this life is basically the same as my previous life as Rose Bennett and I will maybe attract some unwanted attention and become a target among aristocrats.
I began to feel panic and fear that I repeat the same fate as my previous life. The crown prince who thought that this is a perfect plan then sees my expression as I became pale and knew that something is wrong.
"It's okay though, maybe people will respect you because they think that you are related to the House Bennet", he tried to comfort me.
But his words give me the opposite feeling, I began to tremble uncontrollably and can't think straight after he said those words. The crown prince sees that I'm in distress then try to lend his arm to help me.
When I look at his arm, it reminds me of the first prince on the day of my last day as Rose Bennett. I jolted and hit his hand with my pale expression.
" Get out! leave me alone! Go away, NOW!", I shouted at him as my eyes filled with tears.
He then left speechless and the feeling guilt after what he did and left alone in the guestroom. After he left, my leg weakens and start to cry with my face close to my knee because I know that the same fate is awaiting me.
[THE RESTAURANT]
The crown prince left the room with confusion and guilt after what he said to me. He started to think very deeply about what has he done to make me angry like that.
"Brother, did you have a fight with Rose?", Alicia asks him when he returns with that expression.
" I'm not sure if I did something to offend her", he answered with a headache.
Alicia knows she was being selfish and immature but she is worried about what happened that made me upset.
