Royalty

As the orange and yellow hues reflected by the setting sun seeped through the gold-embroidered curtains, the room emanated a luxurious and ostentatious atmosphere. Positioned at the center of the room was a grand double bed with a base adorned in brown tones featuring intricate gold leaf details. Additionally, semi-transparent curtains, elegantly attached to the ceiling, gently swayed downward, as if designed to enhance privacy and intimacy.

To the right of the room, there stood a brown-legged, gold leaf-patterned glass display cabinet. The cabinet showcased various golden goblets, necklaces, and emblems, and at its center, a porcelain doll with crimson hair and red eyes. Despite its eerie appearance, the doll was adorned in opulent attire. The white lace-adorned dress boasted intricate gold details, creating a dazzling pattern that shimmered with the reflection of light. The slightly widening skirt cascaded down from the shoulders, becoming richer with each layer.

Underneath the dress, the elegance of a tulle skirt became apparent. Gold embellishments adorned the edges of the tulle, while tiny pearls left a sparkling impression. The porcelain doll's feet were covered by white lace-detailed, gold-buckled patent leather shoes. The gold buckles on the shoes accentuated the doll's graceful appearance.

On the doll's head sat a swan-white hat, embellished with feather details and gold embroidery. A delicate ribbon completed the hat's elegance. These exquisite details presented the porcelain doll as if she were a princess. In the reflection of light, the gold embellishments sparkled, making the porcelain princess in the display case come to life like a character from a fairy tale.

Then, as if to do justice to a fairy tale, the eyes turned towards the area where the gold leaf windows were. Subsequently, upon hearing the sound of the door opening, the eyes returned to their initial position, staring fixedly towards the door, as if the crimson-haired doll's eyes had never moved. A moment later, as an elderly caretaker, appearing somewhat balding, entered the room, he experienced a brief moment of fear upon encountering the eerie doll. However, he quickly closed his eyes, placed his right hand in a fist over his heart, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself.

"Even after working here for nearly a decade, I still can't get used to this frightening doll..."

Later, the elderly caretaker squinted his eyes as he looked at the doll. It seemed as if the doll felt more alive to him lately. As if being observed by a foreign eye, a constant shiver ran down his spine. The elderly caretaker then scolded himself for getting carried away with his imagination and becoming paranoid. After all, in almost a decade of working here, he had not witnessed any abnormal behavior from the doll. Besides, as an elderly person, being afraid of these imaginary events embarrassed him a bit.

To conceal his embarrassment, he coughed discreetly, and with swift movements, he began tidying up the lavish room and wardrobe. However, his brown eyes occasionally drifted toward the doll, as if unconsciously checking whether the doll had turned its head or eyes towards him. The man did this subconsciously, and small beads of sweat formed on his forehead. The feeling of being watched had not diminished; instead, it had intensified. Afterward, in an attempt to finish his work quickly, he skipped over small details and headed towards the wardrobe. After organizing the luxurious men's clothing, he hastily left the room.

Later, the lifeless-looking red-haired porcelain doll's eyes shifted back towards where the elderly caretaker was, and the red-haired doll pondered to herself.

"This elderly caretaker has been quite suspicious and on edge lately; I need to be extra careful not to be discovered, but I also need to gain strength... It hasn't been long since I was reborn inside this porcelain doll."

Mary had been trapped inside this porcelain doll for about a week. When she opened her eyes to this world, she was quite surprised. She hadn't thought she had been kidnapped; who would keep her in such a luxurious room? Even if such an event occurred, if those who kidnapped her were so wealthy, they didn't need to bother with kidnapping her. They could have obstructed her work and life opportunities, driving her to suicide, or even killed her directly. Why choose such a laborious and absurd method?

Furthermore, she hadn't considered being kidnapped by an organ mafia or a serial killer because, if it were an organ mafia, they would typically abandon her in a ruined place after taking what they needed from her body. Or if it were a serial killer with a penchant for torturing and killing, why do it in such a luxurious and conspicuous place? After all, researching and exposing rental or property owners would have been easier. He could have tortured her in a dilapidated or abandoned place and killed her after finishing the job.

So, Mary had already ruled out these options. If she was kidnapped by a pervert, there was nothing she could do; there were many people with different fetishes. She could only blame fate for awakening the fetishes of a wealthy pervert. Mary then saw a window within her field of view and tried to open it to explore the room and find out where she was. However, she felt as if her arm couldn't move, as if it were weighed down by thousands of pounds.

Thinking that she was bound, Mary shifted her gaze towards her arms and was horrified. Her arms had turned into porcelain baby arms. As she swallowed, she looked at her other arm and her body, finding the same porcelain baby limbs and torso. Mary then stared ahead with empty eyes, and the thought crossed her mind, "What happened to me? Why do I have the body of a porcelain doll?"

Later, a blue screen appeared before her eyes, adorned with white borders. As Mary looked at the blue screen, she understood.

"I migrated to another world..."

Mary read the short information displayed on the blue screen. Unlike her previous world, there wasn't even a simple greeting message.
