Chapter 11
After reading the letter, duke left in hurry saying that the king has summoned him. The duchess followed him out. Daniel went to his room to study. Even the servants got scattered. People who were left in the room were Alice, Stella and Emma.
"Sister, is something wrong?" Stella asked her sister who was staring at the envelope with wide eyes.
"Nothing" Alice said to her with smile.
"Emma, take me to my room" she called Emma.
She hurriedly got up and left the room. Stella looked at the envelope curiously, read the contents written on it. She could not help but wonder about her sister's sudden change in her attitude.
Inside her room, Alice sat on the bed as the difficult truth was digested inside her. She looked around the room and her eyes fell on the mirror. She ran and stood in front of it. The girl in the mirror, the beautiful girl in the mirror, she remembered where she saw her.
As she put her palm on the mirror, trying to feel her reflection, her eyes calmed and she swallowed hard as fear engulfed her.
"Emma. Is my last name Etkinson?" she asked Emma standing beside her.
Emma who was wondering why she hurriedly left the dinning hall, and had such a perplexed expression, as if she had seen some ghost wondering around, and saw her calm down only after seeing her reflection, understood.
"Yes, milady" Emma said.
Did she remember anything, perhaps?
She remembered the duchess clearly mentioned not to talk anything about her past, and if she remembers something, she should immediately inform her immediately.
"Is my name Alicia Etkinson?" her master suddenly asked her.
"Yes" Emma answered, shaking.
Milady remembered her name. I should immediately inform about it to her highness.
"You... you can leave" Alice said softly as if she was hit by the truth badly.
Emma swallowed hard and walked out of the room, leaving Alice alone to sought out her own thoughts. She was still looking at her reflection when she heard door being closed by Emma. She suddenly felt that her legs lost their strength and sat down. She looked at the girl inside the mirror and clearly remembered her face.
In her past life, she once collapsed due to overwork. The doctor told her to have a bedrest for a complete week. Being someone who was used of being busy, she could not help but think about her company. Her secretary, irritated, suggested her to play otome game that she played for fun.
Its name was "Love in Europe".
It was an interesting game, set in mediaeval Britain, in the fantasy kingdom named Keletish. The heroine was the adopted daughter of the Earl. She was a cheerful young lady who always helped others in need. On her sixteenth birthday, she comes to the capital for fun, where she encounters male leads.
There were four capture targets:
1. Kendrick Keletish, crown prince of Keletish kingdom
2. Stuart Etkinson, son of the prime minister of Keletish kingdom.
3. Blake Herlane, son of the head knight of Keletish kingdom
4. Cyneric Byrde, son of the Pope.
And on every route, there was one villainess, Alicia Etkinson.
She was the fiancée of the crown prince, Prince Kendrick Keletish, sister of Stuart Etkinson, cousin of Blake Herlane and childhood friend of Cyneric Byrde. She was a villainess, who humiliates the heroine, the adopted daughter of the Earl, for her unknown origins and loses her sympathy against all the male leads.
And now she became that villainess.
