Caught Between Two Worlds

All Celestine ever wanted was to be someone powerful so that she won't be looked down upon. That was what she wished on a blissful night. And that very wish made her life go downhill years later ever since she came across a sacred pendant. When an invitation lands on her lap to the most prestigious university of Adrian, nothing could stop her from going there. That is until her life gets entwined with two men, the cruellest foes of each other which she wishes to escape from. But the universe paints a different picture. On a dreary day, she falls to her near-death and finds herself in the ancient land of Vitalis. With an unintentionally committed crime to her name, she must face the justice of the place where mercy is invaluable and death is inevitable and of little value. And so her trial begins at the mercy of the tainted hands of the Masked Tyrant. Alastair Arden Waldorf. Ruthless, cold-blooded and faceless. When things turn for the worse, will she be able to return to her land and not be involved in a terrifying history? Will she save, kill or escape from the tyrant to the other two men when he shall come for her? Shall love prevail between the two or will they stick to their time to avoid an inevitable curse? ~ WARNING: Mature Content (18+) Cover Design: imagineTishaD (Webnovel) Image Credit: fromKITnoc (DeviantArt) Want to support and interact with the author?

~ 103: A Place With More Foes Than Companions - Part 2 ~

The melancholy of living in this era was the amount of lack of privacy, especially with nobles, where the ladies-in-waiting always tagged along with their mistresses. Besides that, there was a lack of respect for women, who were only seen as materials of beauty and housework.

Such was the situation I was in. I couldn't persuade the maid to leave my side when she was dripping wet. I even told her that if it was His Highness's order to stay with me regardless of the situation, it would be better to have another handmaid attend to me.

But this woman was too stubborn to heed to anything I had to say. Sometimes, it felt like Miss Hansley could give me the space I needed. I could take care of myself well enough except for this sudden illness that came and went whenever the temperature seemed to drop around me.
