The Other's

I just found out that the water in this lake is warmer than I thought. Thank goodness, I'll die in warmth.

But for some strange reason, questions were running through my brain as my body began to sink. Such, why did Hayden hate me so much? When did I sleep in the same bed with another man and give birth to a baby with blonde hair who obviously didn't have a drop of blood from the Royal Family? Because, for the Royal Family, which always produces offspring with jet-black hair, the presence of my baby has certainly caused uproar. But really I was curious, when and how did I slept with other men when I clearly remember that Hayden was the only one with me?

And, how come Sarah and Hayden have already met? Yet if they follow the plot of the book, they have only met a few years later since Fuschia's exile.

But then again, compared to all the curiosity that crept in my brain, my desire to die was much greater.

My chest is burning. The tips of my fingers seemed to have gone numb. But never mind. I'm happy because this is my own choice.

'Mama will be coming soon, baby'

Just when I thought I could go after my baby, a pair of hands pulled me tightly in his embrace. I feel as if my body is wrapped in another warmth. My body floats back to the surface. Even if I struggle, its strength surpasses mine.

'Wh-who? There's a mermaid here?! Don't pull me! Don't pull me up you idiot! '

My body felt a strong urge. Without warning, our lips are more than brushing. He blows air into my mouth. Repeatedly. And when I opened my eyes, only darkness was presented. And that's my last sight before waking up.

"Miss Fuschia! Miss.. Miss... Your Highness the Crown Princess, hng-" Merri's body trembled. Her shoulders heaved in time with her loud cry. Beside her were two guardian knights who were equally absent-minded about fixing my position.

After that incident in the green lake, Fuschia devoured some peanut bread from the palace's kitchen. Even though she knew very well that Fuschia was allergic to peanuts, she still devoured them even when her breath stopped. But when she felt that her life was nearing the limits of life, Fuschia woke up again.

"Ha! Haha..hahahahaha… hahahaha!"

Fuschia's roaring laughter left those gathered in her room dumbfounded. Not only Merri, Sophie and Laura, but the doctors, knights, and servants of the Jasmine palace - the residence of the Crown Princess, were just as shocked. The reason is, they have served Fuschia even since she was still the Crown Prince's fiancé. And they didn't expect Fuschia to laugh out loud with his mouth wide open. In contrast to her soft and classy image that reflects the elegance of a noble.

'I should have known better that I couldn't die here. Hahaha… ha'

A series of unfortunate events of the Crown Princess immediately shocked the entire palace. Starting from catching a fever after a wedding party, crying saggingly for days in the room, the incident of drowning in a lake, even unconsciousness due to allergies. The news was widespread among the servants. The sprinkling of artificial spices made the news even spicier, from mouth to mouth.

The next day, Her Majesty The Quees summon Fuschia into her residence, the Eddelweiss Palace.

"What's wrong with you, Crown Princess?" The Quees sipped her tea, her thin pink lips and beautiful face still looked seductive as if she had not been eaten by age. With dark brown hair curled up as high as her status in this kingdom.

"What, what's wrong with me?" Fuschia replied.

The Queen gasped. Fuschia understands very well that answering questions with other questions is a presumptuous act especially in the presence of people of higher status.

"…. Hmm. Apparently you still need to learn a lot. "

"Yes, I feel the same way"

The Queen frowned. Followed by both Fuschia's lady-in-waiting and the Queen's lady-in-waiting. They gasped.

Her Majesty the Queen put down the teacup as soft and neat as possible so that there is no sound.

"Hmm .. you're still sick, huh. Even so, you still have to maintain your attitude. I know you love the Crown Prince, but crying and locking yourself in a room just because you miss him is such a shame, Crown Prince. Especially until you slipped in the green lake, haaa. You are already a Crown Princess, so let go of your spoiled nature and be more careful. You have to maintain the honor of the royal family's name, correct? "

'Ah .. so the rumors that spread were me, a spoiled Crown Princess who missed the Crown Prince so much that I locked myself in my room. Then I fell into the lake because of my absentminded? Hahaha… they're cute tho'

"Hmm, that's why I often tell the Crown Prince not to spoil you too much. But apparently my words got no strength. Regardless of age, when men blinded in love they often act childish, I guess"

Fuschia almost vomited.

"And isn't it about time you could stand up on your own, Crown Princess? When I was your age and became the Crown Princess, I was able to contribute to-… so you-… should- "

Blah blah blargh.

"Hoa~ m"

"Your Highness the Crown Princess!" Marchioness Bellrose, one of Her Majesty the Queen's lady-in-waiting snaped at Fuschia. The other maids were furious. Fuschia watched their eye muscles bulge as if they were about to explode.

If not for the influence of Her Majesty the Queen behind them, they would not have dared to rebuke a Crown Princess who had a higher status in front of the public as it is today.

Klotang. Her Majesty the Queen put down the cup quite hard. It is a sign.

"Really, what's wrong with you, Crown Princess?" asked Her Majesty with a worried face as if she cared.

'Madam Bellrose and the Queen's other ladies-in-waiting. They were the one who burned my tongue with hot iron in prison by order of the Queen, even when I didn't do anything wrong. They also the one who gave my baby rotten milk, how dare they! '

"Ah, pardon my impudence, Your Majesty the Queen. Looks like I still need time to recover. But having received an invitation from your esteemed Majesty Queen, how can I refuse? Under any circumstances I still have to attend, isn't that correct?" Fuschia's warm smile shutting their mouths tightly.

It was no secret that Her Majesty the Quees didn't like Fuschia because she came from the Duke of Mountravven, the political rival of his family, Duke Callilarie. Even when Hayden and Fuschia got engaged, she still arranged a meeting beetwen Hayden and her niece, Eden Callilarie. But thanks to the support of the King and the Crown Prince, Fuschia was chosen to be the Crown Princess.

'Hiii .. it's disgusting when I remember that I used to have a nerve battle with Eden for the position of a Crown Princess. If I knew what a jerk Hayden was, it might be better if I gave in to Eden '

But the rice has become a porridge.

'Hmm, if I can't die here, should I just become a villainess as they claimed me to be? After all, it's not that hard to become a villainess'
