———————————————

I looked at them with the same expression for a second before looking around the room and finally settling my gaze at the man in the room.

I faked a cough and looked at the man as a try to snap him out of his trance.

"May I know, Where the source of the banging noises is?"

I raised one of my eyebrows while asking and piercing the man with my gaze, but it seems to not be working..

Anyway, I was expecting my voice to sound nice and soothing, melodious if  you will but... the voice that I heard just now made me want cut off my vocal cords. It was annoyingly high-pitched, it sounded like those two-faced girls who pretend to be cute with their strained high-pitched voice but actually can talk normally and not make everyone want to go deaf

The man and the other ladies regained their composure after hearing my voice, well that's expected if you didn't regain your composure after hearing such voice surely something is wrong with your ears!

The man answered, "I wasn't expected you to be able to get out of bed after a week of coma, princess" In his sincere but cold deep voice. I looked at him and made a face that screams, What are you talking about? Princess? In a coma for a week? Did I get pushed down the stairs or the pond? Am I some sort of villainess?

Straight away, the women beside him that had red hair, waved a hand, signalling the four woman to leave. The four woman nodded and made a slight bow before leaving as the red haired woman commanded. After the four woman left and closed the door, the red haired women took a breath before bursting into tears and hugged me

"My princess, I am glad that you woke up!! I called all the best doctors to help you but you, you didn't wake up!! I thought you will leave this world!!"

Well, I did leave my previous world, so technically the previous soul also left the world..

I sighed, not wanting to be in her embrace I pushed this women away gently. I said to her in a cold tone, "I'm sorry madam, but I would prefer to not have any body contact with someone whom I have just met. If you could, please refrain from touching me, it would make me a lot more comfortable"

I stared at her with cold eyes. The woman immediately moved away from me after my resistant and my statement towards her action. She wiped her tears away and made an apology

"Forgive me princess, I was just overwhelmed by the fact that you have regained you're consciousness, I'm sorry I wasn't there went you needed help" The women said in a gentle tone, my heart was a bit touched hearing her apology...

I shouldn't have pushed her away with such coldness

The man then said to the woman,

"You should hold yourself back dear, the doctor said that she may experience a heavy memory lost due to her head hitting the rocky ground hard"

"And.. It seems like what the doctor said is true, remember, he advised us to hold back and watch our actions during her memory lost faze if it really happened, please control yourself, dear"

While gazing off in the distance, my head became very heavy all of a sudden. I couldn't hold it anymore..

I wobbled back a bit as I gradually lost all my strength and feel to the ground..

Afterwards it was a total blackout, so I didn't know what happened.

When I had regained my consciousness, I woke up in the same bed from before. But this time, I wasn't trembling or sweating.

Instead, I smelled roses, It seems to be the smell of the rose tea placed on the nightstand beside the bed.

On my left side, a man was talking with the red haired women from before. I lifted one of my arm to get the man's attention. The man was wearing a white coat and a stethoscope around his neck, so I assume he was a doctor. The man noticed my arm and immediately turned his way to me and started checking up on me.

After checking up on me, he turned his back again and faced to women. He reported my condition to the women, "Your Grace, this doctor had checked up on the princess. The princess condition isn't so good. The princess will need to go through rehabilitation for three months, in those three months she will need supervision, she's needs to build her body strength back up as well as her magic. She also needs to catch up to her studies as well, I'm afraid this doctor might not be able to supervise this princess personally" The red haired women only shook her head in response.

The doctor then excused himself out of the room.

The red haired women sat down on the bedside, sighed and talked to me, "Galassia Everly Cerene Este, the third daughter of the Este Emperor. A child from a fallen queen, looks like you're going to go through a lot this week. I wonder if that damn Emperor will compensate all of the medical bills?" She asked me, as she caressed my cheek.

I only stared at her dumbfounded..

Her face was gorgeous, her eyes were the same as mine. It was the galaxy on her eyes. She has healthy white skin and a bit of wrinkles, a sign of ageing. Her beauty couldn't lose compared to mine. As I stared at her dumbfounded, she continues to caress my cheek.

She then said, "Right, I forgot that you have a couple of screws lose with your head. Let me reintroduce myself to you, just like the first time, my name is Candace Everly Celestia Rose, Duchess of the Rose Household. I am known for my exquisite beauty and also my sharp mouth"

She paused a bit, looked at my expression and chuckled before continuing her sentence,

"I'm also your mother's sister, Sera Everly Cerene Arden Este, the first Queen of the Este Empire"

"I'm also kind jealous of her, to be able to keep our family name... Meanwhile look at me, I have to switch mine out for a flower name, I wish I could have kept my family name. It would be such an honour to keep mine but then again I'm married to a duke, my one and only duke"

She smiled sweetly and looked up as if recalling something, probably sweet moments with the duke.

"He's handsome, hot, smart..." And so on. She kept chatting for a whole hour. Which was useful to me, but also boring.

But, thanks to her sharp mouth and honesty, I managed to gain a lot of information, including people who I should look out for.

Apparently, from her. I'm the third daughter of the Este Emperor. I was sent away from the palace at the age of five to spy on the Colonna Empire. The Emperor chose to send his third daughter to the Empire neighbour because the queen had died aftee giving birth and he couldn't handle the queen's death.

So, just like every typical tyrant emperor, he decided to get rid and burn every information about the queen.. including me, the person she had given birth to.

Well, the actions he does is wrong, but it's kind of understandable, the queen died just a day after the Empress Dowager passed away. If I was the emperor and the two important people in my life died one after another, I think I would not be able to handle the sorrow and might lose my mind. But that's the Emperor problem not mine so let's just move on to another more important information about me.

As of now, I'm staying at the Duke of Rose residence. I'm studying at the Colonna Empire noble school.

From what Candace said, I originally stayed at the school dormitory, but I was bullied heavily, so the Duchess son I think he's one of the capture target, insisted that I stay at his place for the meantime. While he and his buddies take care of the bullies.

And just by that, I felt a bad discovery was going to come very soon.

After the duchess was done spilling all the tea, she stood up the room and head towards the door,

"I won't be against the marriage if you marry my son, In fact I will be more then happy to accept you. I hope you know how to repay debts"

The duchess smiled as the a maid that I didn't notice before came out of the corner of the room and opened the door for the duchess. The duchess turned her head as she head out and said her farewell,

"Third Princess of the Este Empire, I wish a good rest, I shall call your personal maid to tend you for the rest of the day"

After she left the room and the door was closed shut, I took a sip of the rose tea beside my bed and took the pen and paper near it. I wrote down all of the information I have just gain and summarise it. After writing down all the details. I have decided on a conclusion...
