"I can't believe they had made a illustrated version of the Duchess and her two lovers, I thought I would never see this day come. And for my happiness, both Klein and Drax, was just like I imagined them." I sighed closing and putting the manga away.
"It's time to sleep, tomorrow I will read it one more time." I can't tell how much I loved this story when I was young, though the end had make me cry for 3 longs days and nights.
The fact that the Duchess couldn't be with either the prince or the knight, and wasn't even able to avenge her poorly son.
"That queen was truly smart.." I looked up at the ceiling of my room, and slowly closed my eyes, falling in sleep no long after.
When I opened my eyes, I was a little confused why my alarm didn't go off. And when I looked to the side, I was so surprised that I jumped of the bed.
"AAAAAAAHHH" I screamed the highest I could.
"What's this?" A man, with a perfectly light skin, short ginger hair, and the most beautiful green eyes I had seen, not talking about his damn hot body.
"Oh god, oh god, where are your clothes? Can't you just put some clothes on? Actually, why are you in my room?"
"What are you talking about Melissa, we slept together last night, as always." Melissa? That's what he said.
"Waaah." A baby cry startled me.
"Look what you did, with all your scream, you waked Daniel up." Daniel, Daniel who?
I turned to a mirror, and for my suddenly surprise, it wasn't myself, it was...
Melissa Prain. The Duchess of my favorite story. There's no way I would got it wrong, mom always told me about her appearance, The long brown hair, the dark skin, and of course, the thing that caught everyone sight, her golden eyes. A rarity I must say.
"Then you must be..Drax..?" He looked at me with a baby in his arms.
"Did giving birth make you go crazy or something? Of course it's me." Hah, I read it so much that I might be dreaming... Right?
No wait, I read about it sometime, but wasn't it supposed to be fiction or fantasy? The whole thing about isekai.
"I think I'm going to faint.." I sat on the bed and looked at the baby in Drax arms,a curled ginger hair and lightly golden eyes, there's nothing wrong here, this is Daniel, the poor heir of the Prain family that had been poisoned by the queen. Still.. he's truly young, so it might me truly afar for this happening.
"I must protect him.." I murmur to myself.
"He needs to eat.." Drax looked into my eyes. Oh no, he isn't expecting me to breastfeed him, is he?
"Here Melissa, I will leave you alone, I know you don't like it when someone looks.." He just pulled the baby on my arms, then leaves the room without saying any other word.
"How am I supposed to breastfeed a baby, that I don't even remember of giving birth to?" I looked into his eyes, was him almost 8 months or something? Sleeping with his parents, what a lucky boy.
"Well.. I should just.." I lowered the strap of my nightgown, and when I put him close to my chest he just bit it, making me feel a shiver go up my spine.
"Is that what my mom went through?" Is this a instinct of the baby doing it all alone? Argh, I don't know, I Just want it to finish already.
After sometime he just started crying.
"What's this? Did I do something wrong? I'm not a mom you know" I sighed.
"Oh, like my mom did to my little brother, let's try the another one." I changed the side, and he grabbed it again, this time he really was drinking it.
"Ma'am I'm here, where's the little..." A maid entered the room and looked at me. "Lord.." At her hand was a Baby Bottle. Wait.. wait...
"Was it supposed to be to Daniel?" I asked pointing right at the baby bottle.
"Yeah, didn't you tell me last month, that you would stop breastfeeding him...?"
"Did I?"
We looked at each other, then laughed.
"I can't believe it, what the Duke was talking about is true, you are really strange today. Even letting a servant laugh at yourself" I sighed one more time.
"Let's make this that way until him have at least two years. My mom told me that breastfeeding was important, is a vinculum between the mom and the baby."
"Ma'am, I thought you didn't like talking about your mom, because she sold you. That's what you always say." I bitted my tongue.
"Although I don't like waht my mom did, there's some things that a appreciate learning with her."
"Okay ma'am."
"Excuse me, but can you remember what's my husband age?"
"Twenty-three years old, ma'am." It's means that I have eighteen and the crown prince nineteen... We are almost five years away from Daniel's murder scheme.
"Thank you.. what was your name?''
"Eleanor ma'am" The name hit me like a knife. She's the mother of the girl that helped the Queen murder Daniel.
"Eleanor huh.. I think Daniel's full now, can you take him?" After she takes him I started to prepare myself.
Actually.. why did the Queen hate the Duchess and Daniel so much..? Was it because of something Melissa said..? No wait, I'm forgetting something.
Why did the king want to marry Melissa with his knight, when she was supposed to be his concubine? I need to find out, I can't let myself fall in disgrace with Daniel death, as him is the only son of Melissa, and the heir of her house.
After his dead, I remember very well, her reputation was attached to a bad mom, and a cursed woman, every other noble stopped inviting her for
the tea party or anything else, so she closed her self to the world. And that's why the crown prince falled in love with her.
He never had seen her before, so it was love at first sight. And because of that love, the Duchess was killed by the Queen.
"Why is this queen always in my way? Thank God I've been hearing about it from my five years until now. There's nothing about this story I don't know"
The Duchess was sweet, and easy to fall in any trap, that's why everything happened that way, but with me, it will be different. If the Queen is a villainess in this story, so it's mean that I just have to be more evil than her.
