2 We looks the same..

In the middle of the day, I was still lying in bed, I managed to open my right eye and took a peek, the sun was still shining dazzingly in the sky, it must be noon. I hear footsteps around the room and opened my eyes to see who was the intruder. While sitting down, I felt a sharp pain around the lower part of my back it reminded me of what happened last night and I cursed that man deep in my thought. I looked down at myself and saw the bruise on my milky skin along with red marks of his bite. I quickly took the blanket and put it around me to hide those disgusting marks. While trying to get last night's image out of my mind, I felt a slight pain on my lower lips after a moment because I didn't notice that I was bitting on it. Frustration filled me up, I was angry, humiliated and felt disgust toward my own body. The need to wash off all the impurity from my body became urgent and as I looked up I saw the intruder before my eyes with a nightgown on her hand she said,

"I thought that you might need a long and warm bath my lady, so I prepared it in advance."

Weirdly as soon as I locked my eyes on her, her name came out of my lips on it own. She was the maid that followed me from home after my wedding.

"That was thougthful of you, thanks Luna."

She smiled and handed me the nightgown. Not without difficulty I stood up from my bed and went toward the bathroom. The bath was steaming hot and it felt great on my body, I washed off all the unpleasant feeling from last night and relaxed my mind. As I was washing my hair, the similar hair color from my past self made me feel like I was the same as before, but looking at my weak and thin arms, I shook my head in disbelieve. I was a general, commanding hundred of man that respected me and believed in me. But on an unfortunate day, I died and the weird part is that I don't have any recollection from that day, I can't seem to remember my murderer's face. And after dying, I woke up last night in the body of this weak girl and on top of that, in the arms of this man who call himself my husband. Though, I should feel happy that the man wasn't ugly on top of been a bastard without manner. If I think clearly about my situation, I don't know much about what's going on and the man hates me and wish that I disappear. Well, I would happily do that, it is not like I have any feeling for him anyway but I don't think that it is as simple as that. I must ask that maid to updates me on the situation of this girl I am now impersonating, do I even know her name?!...sigh, I will just say that I momentarily lost my memory. I got out of the bath and put on the nightgown before heading out of the bathroom. There was clean towel on my bed, it must have been left there by Luna. This girl was like a fairy that knew all of my need, if this continue I will end up depending on her. She came back as I was drying myself while walking around the room so that the pain from the lower part of my back would dissipate. She put a tray full of food on the table beside the sofa, and the smell of the food made my hungry belly growl. She giggled and said,

"It is lunch time my lady, please help yourself."

"Humm...I was getting hungry, the bath was perfect thanks Luna."

I dig in the food and savoured every bit I took. 'Who know when I will suddenly die, life is short so let's just enjoy it.' I thought and quietly ate my lunch, Luna was looking through the wardrobe for a dress and the thought of wearing a dress depressed me. I was used to wear pants for my outing and no one judged me because I was a respected general. But I suppose, in my current state it is better to stick to the tradition and wear a dress. After finishing my lunch, I put on the dress with the help of Luna, and when I looked at myself in the mirror, shock made me freeze on the spot. The reflection that I saw on the mirror was the spitting image of myself before waking up in this body. The eyes color that looked like the clear blue sky, the familiar long and white hair that shone like a diamond. This beautiful angelic face was the only thing that nearly restrained me from becoming a general before. Yes, we look identical apart from the fact that she is weaker and thinner than my past self. With my eyes still locked on my reflexion on the mirror I asked Luna,

"Luna, since last night I have a hard time remembering a lot of things, like this engagement for example. Can you tell me my name?!"

She looked at me with a shoked and worried expression, than replied after grasping my hand,

"Why? are you feeling unwell? did something happen?"

It looked like, this young girl died from poisoning and looking at her personal maid's expression, she didn't seem to have noticed the change, even that crazy guy didn't notice it. I pinched my cheek and looked at her through the mirror while smiling to reassure her,

"I am fine, but like I said I just forgot part of my memory, don't worry I will tell you how this happened later."

She still didn't believe my words and wanted to quickly call for a doctor out of concern for me but with a sigh of frustration she replied,

"I know that when you have something in mind, nothing can convince you otherwise. But you have to explain the situation to me..okay?!"

"I promise!" I said while putting up my hand at the lenght of my heart like a knight who pronounced his vow.

Luna laughed at my exaggerated acting and finally answered with a warning eyes,

"You will better not lie to me miss, or I will leave you and return back home."

"No way, I will never survive alone here without you my dear Luna...." I said with a whimpering face to act like a child.

We both burst in laughter together at the over dramatique acting and she said after clearing her throat,

"Your name is Tatiana Mias Artemis, daughter from the most prestigious family of the empire the Artemis duchy. You are married since a few days ago to the duke Alexander Mikhaïl Ophelius who is the emperor's only brother and a prince."

"It is a little similar..." I muttered without noticing it and Luna hear it and asked,

"What do you mean by similar?!"

"Ah, haha! nothing, so the asshole's a prince....oups I mean my husband."

'tch....I can't seem to get used to call that awful bastard my husband, if I was like my old self I would have easily defeated him.' I thought with a disgusted expression on my face. I looked at myself again in the mirror and my expression darkened even more, that looks always got me more problem than blessing. Before I woke up in Tatiana's body and in this crazy duke's castle, my name was Titania Mias Artemis, the fact that our middle name and family name were similar must mean that we were from the same family but I never hear of a girl who had the same features as me. Also, Luna said that Tatiana was the daughter of the Artemis family but the only daughter at the Artemis family had always been me Titania. What's more, I don't remember the emperor having a brother like him, he had a cousin but not a brother. That's how I figured that something was wrong, and the world I got myself in at present times was no longer the same one I used to know.
