Cough! Cough! Sophie opened her eyes but the things welcomes her was blurry visions. she squinted her eyes and blinked many times. She feel her head aches so much and it makes her dizzy all of a sudden.

"Jenna! Are you fine?! Who did this to you?" A man with curly blonde hair said in a worry. He focused at the girl in his arms. He slowly supported her to sit down. Looking at her wet clothes and her delicate body he can't help but feel more worried. She is his beloved, how can he take it?

"Your Highness..." a lady in purple dress said. She is Angelina Weston, Jenna Norsz's friend. They both attended the banquet but something unexpected happened. Lady Viviana Caster called out and invited her friend to go outside in excuse to appreciate the flowers under the moon. She knows that Lady Jenna and Lady Viviana were enemies. Lady Viviana was the Prince's fiancé and Lady Jenna is his beloved. Everyone knows how the Prince gave importance to Lady Jenna. So she was worried that something might happen that's why she called out some noble ladies so that there are witnesses if Lady Viviana would do something again. As expected there is, they saw both their clothes were wet and they seemed they fell in the pond. Everyone was shocked and because of that many gathered outside and it reached to Prince's ears.

"What exactly happened?" Prince Gerald ask calmly but you can see that his expression is scary. His eyes screaming killing intent. Angelina felt her body got cold all of a sudden. Her face turn pale.

"I, I, I..." she stuttered. She was too afraid and it's her first time to talk to a member of a royal family. He is the Emperor and Empress' only son, and likely to inherit the throne. His future is bright.

A noble lady stepped forward and helped Angelina out. "Greetings to Your Highness, pardon me for intruding but may I speak?" she confidently said. Everyone's gazes were at her but she stood there dignified and looks very noble.

Prince Gerald looked at her in a cold manner. He scanned the lady in front of him then he finally speak. "Speak." he indifferently said.

The lady swallowed her own saliva before speaking. "Your Highness, we don't really know what exactly happened. When we went outside and went to the garden, we saw them sitting on the ground and their clothes were already wet." she carefully explained. She bowed her head as if she want someone to agree with her. As she expected there is. Everyone nodded in agreement especially those young noble ladies who went with them first.

"Your Highness, what she said is right. We only saw Lady Norsz and Lady Caster's dress were wet at that time but we don't know what happened before they looked like this." she paused. "And... We never expected that both of her Ladyship will be in state of unconciousness." her voice is getting lower and lower. She immediately bowed her head.

Everyone bowed in unison. They know how Lady Norsz weigh in His Highness' heart. Though he looks charming in normal days but if he get furious that would be another story.

The atmosphere is getting tense and the silence made their heart beats faster. They can not afford to look at His Highness.

"Ah... My head hurts." everyone was jumped out their hearts out. They wanted to find who made that noise and praised for her bravery. Those nobles search who it was.

"Cough! Cough! Ah, I think my head got some water in it." Sophie said and she patted her head numerous times. She stood up and patted the unseen dust on her dress. She felt that someone is staring at her as she felt goosebumps all over her body. Sophie raised her head and the thing welcomes her was unfamiliar foreign people, weird dresses and elegant jewelries. In short renaissance vibes.

"What?" she said confusingly. Though she heard their conversation but it had nothing to do with her. Their stares are like they staring at a suspect of a crime! She felt sudden uneasiness and guilt.

"You can still act as if you're an innocent!" Prince Gerald said in anger. Sophie was surprised at first but she immediately turn it back to normal. She was astonished at her sight. Those curly blonde hair like plates of shimmering gold! His eyes looks very charming but now though he is angry you still find his attractiveness. But her eyes fell on the lady in his arms. She had hazelnut hair, she looks very charming and innocent even though she is just there lying.

"I wish when I sleep I look like that." Sophie thought. She sighed in her heart. She remembered in her school days when they where at the bus she unconciously fell into slumber. Her friends took a picture of her, unknowingly. Remembering that she felt ashamed and want to kick their *** off!

Prince Gerald followed her gaze and it fell upon the lady in his arms—Lady Jenna. Looking at her state... wet clothes and unconcious. His anger raised up again. He fiercely look at his fiancé. She became more and more vicious. Her jealousy affected innocent people. He doesn't love her and he was forced to take this arrangement. He agreed as per his mother's request.

At first he didn't mind that lady—Lady Viviana Caster. But now he never expected to meet someone he love now. He is now making his moves to cancel the engagement between them. He is still considering her position as his fiancé. They never had intimate encounters though they met when they were very young those are just in form of etiquette, as if he was just meeting a guest. He never thought that his fiancé indeed inlove with him and forced him to do something against his will under his mother's orders. He know that his mother and Lady Caster are close.

First of all they were distant cousins and her father is a Marquess which is in the Empress's side—his mother. He hate this situation of his and what happened now made his anger worsen. He wanted to burst it out but he was unable to. He is the prince of this empire and they are in a royal banquet. Fortunately, those higher rank nobles or close to the royal family are in seperate hall. It includes Lady Caster's parents, Marquess Gideon Caster and Marchioness Genevieve Dulvan Caster.

"Viviana Mari Dulvan Caster! I, Prince Gerald is calling our engagement off!" he said straight without pausing and looks very determined. He doesn't care about what his mother and this nobles will thought. He can't take it anymore, is it like now or never.

"Err... W-what?" Sophie was confusingly shocked. Wait? She was just called Viviana? Then the one they are talking earlier was her!? Or they are mistaken?

She looked around hoping maybe he was talking about was somebody close to her direction. But no one was around her... She is very confuse and her mind went blank for a moment.

"What the f*ck is going on?" she whispered to herself. She want to knock her head maybe she is dreaming right now. "Ah, ah, ah!" she screamed in her heart. What the hell? Just like what the hell is happening!?

After what the prince said those nobles starts to whispered. She heard some sympathy and ridicule towards 'her'.

She wanted to explained herself. Her mouth was about to open when she heard someone calling. "Vivi! Vivi!" nobles turned their head to that sounds came from. They were shocked at first seeing Marchioness Genevieve Caster running towards her daughter and behind her was Marquess Gideon Caster. He looks very upset and worried. Sophie looked at them when she saw they are going towards her she stepped backwards. Afterall her name is not 'Vivi'!

Seeing this the couple gets more upset and worried. They were little bit shocked seeing her drenched clothes and messy hair. Mrs. Caster was about to faint luckily Mr. Caster has good reflexes and he was able to catch his wife.

"Servants! Take care of Her Ladyship." Mr. Caster said. Servants nodded and supported Mrs. Caster whose weak.

"B-but dear..." Mrs. Caster said. Though she is weak because she is pregnant but the most important now is her daughter. They were in the special banquet with high rank nobles and no servants can easily entered without permission. Their personal butler came in a hurry and reported of what happened in the other side of the banquet. They both hurriedly came out without saying any consent to the Emperor and Empress.

"Your health is the top priority here. Don't worry I will deal with it." he said. He saw that his wife is convinced and got in the small carriage that they brought. After they heard about what happened they are worried that their daughter can't walk by herself because of her state.

After he saw his wife was put in a small carriage he faced his daughter. Sophie was startled. Now she was called 'Viviana' and obviously they went here just for her. She is afraid that this 'father' of her might be strict. She felt guilt in her heart.

"F-father..." she called out. She felt uneasiness and it's very awkward to say this because originally it's not her 'real' father. She closed her eyes and bowed her head. "Ahh! I look like a kid whose getting to be whipped in the butt!" she thought.

He stepped forward shielding his daughter to those gazes of others especially this prince. "What happened Your Highness?" he politely said in a calm manner looking straight to the prince eyes. The prince gave him the same look. He won't backing out now.

"Why don't you ask your daughter? Lady Viviana Caster." he said trying to be polite. Mr. Caster—Gideon stared at him for a moment. He knows what his daughter's attitude is like. He is still doubting but he needs to deal with this matter.

In her surprise she was not getting any punishment. She was curious of what's happening. She slowly opened her eyes and welcomes her was a broad back of a man. She looked up closely and she recognized it was her 'father'. She was amazed at first but she shook her head. She smiled secretly because this 'father' of her is kinda sweet.

He finally sighed and turn back to face his daughter. She looked mess and seems she's shivering. He took out his coat and put it to her body gently. Sophie was shocked she even flinched because totally they are strangers. She still not figured out why she seems in different body and time. But she smiled in her heart because this body's father is actually sweet and caring. She let him do what he's doing because she really feel cold in this wet clothes.

"What happened?" he asked looking straight to her face. She avoided the gaze and she felt awkward at the moment. "Argh! It's not me! How will the hell can I explain this?! Should I pretend I lost my memories..?" she thought.

Everyone is staring at her so intensely. She feel pressured and frustrated. Her mind went blank not knowing what to do. "I, I..." she stuttered. "Ahh! What the hell will I tell!?" she scream in her thoughts. She tried to peek at this father of hers. He seems very serious... and scary. "Aish! No other options! More importantly I can't make a lie, who knows who will backstab me!?" she thought.

"Sorry, b-but... Actually... I don't know exactly what happened!" she said in a very low voice. She bowed her head and looked at the ground avoiding their gazes.

When Gideon saw this his heart aches. He know very well his daughter. She never bowed with anyone and she never say the word 'sorry' as if it was a taboo. He heard that his daughter found unconcious near at the pond and her clothes were wet. He felt relieved seeing his daughter gained conciousness. But why it seems she lost her memories..? It's like this daughter is like someone else. He clearly know about her manner and attitude. She always has strong bearing not letting herself suffer a loss. If something trouble happened she will hug his arms acting coquettishly and saying it's nothing to do with her and throw a tantrum.

She tried to peek and saw that this father is in a deep thought. Was he convinced?

When the prince heard this he wanted to laugh at her acting. Is this her new trick to get out of trouble? He was about to open his mouth to refute but he heard her voice.

"Ugh..." because of this sound everyone's attention shifted to the lady in His Highness' arms—Lady Jenna Norsz.

"Ah! Lady Norsz! Finally, you're awake!" Lady Angelina exclaimed happily. She wanted to go and supports her but the prince already did that. She can only watch her closely being supported by the prince.

"Are you fine? Do you feel cold? You should change your clothes." Prince Gerald asked in a worry. Lady Norsz shook her head and stand by herself. She doesn't want to make more trouble and especially Lady Caster was his fiancé. Thinking about this her heart aches.

She distance herself and said. "Thank you for Your Highness' concern but I'm doing fine. I have Lady Angelina by my side so don't worry any further Your Highness." after hearing it Lady Angelina go by her side and support her best friend.

Gideon face became gloomy seeing this scene. "Your Highness worry too much at Miss. Don't you have a fiancé here?" he sarcastically said. Nobles' starts to whisper and he saw those awkward gazes. He frowned and look back at his daughter. Sophie avoided the gaze. Well he doesn't know about what happened about the engagement that this blonde hair guy said. She sighed, she doesn't wanted this father of hers to look ignorant and fool.

"Well... His Highness said earlier that he called 'our' engagement off. He announced it and said it out loud in front of this people before you arrive." Sophie calmly explained as if it was not her who was engage. Gideon was shocked and immediately looked at the prince. He is too much!

"You! You're not considering my daughter's position!? You just blatantly cancelling your engagement?" he furiously said. Though he knows what his daughter's manner but he can't just casually cancelling the engagement. It might hurt her daughter's feelings.

"Whose cancelling who..?" a voice rang out. Everyone looked where the sounds came from and the person welcomes them is Her Majesty! The Empress.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." everyone bowed and said in unison.

"Greetings to Your Majesty"

"Marquess Caster, you left the banquet without telling me why." the Empress said looking at him. She has black hair and blue eyes. Her eyes looks sharp. You can see that she is little bit old but her beauty is still there. Sophie was stunned for a moment because of her gorgeous dress.

Gideon bowed and said. "Pardon me Your Majesty for my impoliteness but when I heard about my daughter's situation, I can't help but rush out without telling. I hope you could forgive me, Your Majesty." he calmly explained. The Empress looked at Sophie. When she saw her dress and hair she can't help but feel dissatisfied. If she is not her distant relative she won't bat an eye.

Sophie can feel her dissapointment towards her. It can't be help this previous owner is a brat. By looking at their stares you can see how many haters she has.

"Could you explain what's happening here?" the Empress is still looking at Sophie. Sophie feel tense and she subconciously held the coat tighter. "My son?" the Empress turn her gaze at her son and looked at the lady whose close to him, Lady Jenna Norsz. She once warned this woman because it might affect her plan for her son's future. She knows how her son valued him in his heart. That's why she doesn't take any scheme against her but only warn her to know her place. She requested to cruelly rejected him and leave him but what she witness now made her more furious. She is clearly dissatisfied at Lady Caster because of her spoiled personality that she patiently endured but this woman came in her son's life and make things more worse. Though the Empress has hatred but she did not show it. She kept her stern and indifferent face.

The prince stepped forward and bowed—covering Lady Jenna to his mother's observing eyes. He looked straight at his mother and said. "Empress mother, I cancelled our engagement between me and Lady Caster——"

"Is it because of this woman?" the Empress interrupted him and looked behind her son, Lady Jenna. Though this lady is being covered but her stare is really piercing. Lady Jenna feel terrified. She was once warned by Her Majesty to leave her son, she tried but the prince is still not letting her go. But this happened and it's very frustrating to her. She is stuck in a situation that is not in her control.

"Empress mother——"

"Enough!" Empress said in a loud voice enough to hear by bystanders. She looked at everyone one by one letting them know her authority. Her eyes fell on Lady Jenna whose head facing at the ground then at Marquess Caster. "I apologized for my son's recklessness. I will make sure Lady Caster won't suffer." she took a short glance at Sophie.

Sophie was amazed yet terrified at her. The Empress is so cool in her opinion. She has an aura of a queen. Her speech and presence made everyone think highly of her.

"I thank Your Majesty's kindness but the His Highness affected my daughter's izzat and witnessed by the esteem nobles here. He might be well respected but His Highness' faults can't be ignored. I believe I'm not asking too much? Right, Your Majesty?" Mr. Caster said. The Empress face turn gloomy.

Sophie is in awe knowing his braveness. He refuted the Empress' words publicly.

The silence creep out the crowd. It's very obvious that Her Majesty is protecting the prince. Lady's izzat is very important in social circle. Her fianceé is shamelessly announcing their engagement being called off without legal process or a definite reason but because of a woman, she was replaced by the other. That would be a new topic and could attract many people. Lady Viviana—or Sophie will be affected by it. Knowing she was cast aside and she is even depicted as a villain by everyone's eyes her reputation is clearly will turn into ruin. Mr. Caster won't let this go smoothly, both sides should suffer a loss even though him and the Empress are relatives.

"I understand your concern Marquess Caster." she noticed that Mr. Caster is very determined in order to save both images and to be a role model, she finally decided and said. "Well then, I forbid Prince Gerald for going out in the palace for one month. I will cover the other necessary damages that my son cause." she firmly said. Prince Gerald is very upset not because he is now grounded, but because his words are seen now as useless.

Mr. Caster only bowed and walked out without looking at the Empress. He pulled Sophie with him. She was startled and hurriedly followed him. She even forgot to bow. Empress was offended because of disrespect towards her, a ruler. She let them be because it's her son's fault and as a parent she needs to cover it atleast. As it's her only son, and the possible successor for the throne. She must protect it.

Everyone is silent and their heads are facing at the ground excluded the prince. The Empress starts to walk out the scene and go back to her own palace. After coming here she lost interest going back to the banquet.

She stopped and said not looking back. "Everybody should enjoy yourself at the banquet." after that she starts to walk.

"Farewell to Your Majesty" everybody said in unison. Because of this unexpected incident not one of the nobles have any interest to go back at the banquet. It's very awkward they witness something that they shouldn't. Though Her Majesty doesn't warn them but because of the conversation between the Marquess and the Empress...

The other young nobles starts to go back at the banquet and act as if nothing happen. Some of them starts to depart respectively.

"Jenna... Are you fine? You must feeling cold." Angelina said and looked concern. Jenna smiled not saying anything. This cold is nothing to her but the thing she is bothered because of the Empress' stare at her. Her heart starts to beat faster.

"We should go home now." Angelina saw her face looks very terrified. She knows about the Empress' warning.

Jenna nodded, afterall she can't be ill as there are matters she needs to handle as she is from a merchant family, and currently she is the one whose handling the family's business. "Then I'll trouble you." she held Angelina's hand and let her to support her.

"What happened between you and Lady Caster? Why your clothes are wet and you fell unconcious when we arrived here." Angelina wondered.

"I..." she doesn't know how to explain.

She really feel weak because of what happened earlier before she lost conciousness. She was called out by Lady Caster to go in the garden outside, she's not stupid or anything but she only want to severe the ties between them and the prince. She wants to explain but before she could she was confronted by Lady Caster. She can't refute at that time and only received her harsh statements and insults towards her. She has the right to do so as she is the prince's fiancé and she(JN) is nobody but an outsider who meddles on their relationship.

She was warned by her that she will destroy her family's business and her being a nouveau riche has no rights to meddle with vieux riche's affairs. She is nothing but lowly. She ignored her insulting statements but only focus about their family's business. She is from a merchant family and their business is the only source for them to survive. She tried to plead but she was shove because they are near at the pond she tumbled and subconciously pulled Lady Caster with her, resulting both of them fell.

She knows how to swim but the only problem was the dress she wear was too heavy. If she move she only dragged down herself. She saw Lady Caster is drowning she swam to save her. Even they are enemies she's still a noble and her identity being the prince's fiancé is a great burden to her if something happens at Lady Caster, considering how Marquess and his wife valued her she can't escape their hatred. Lady Caster become riotous that's why she was knocked by her roughly. She luckily pulled her up but she(VC) was unconcious. Then she(JN) fell senseless because of exhaustement.

She recalled what had happened but the only thing she wants now is to avoid the prince. She is getting in more unecessary troubles because of him. Her life will only turn into miserable if she keeps getting in touch with him.

Angelina noticed her silence and she did not dare to open the topic again. She only support her quietly into the carriage. Angelina notice someone is going in their direction she turned around and bowed not looking who it was because she already know who. "Greetings to Your Highness. Is there anything could I help you with?" she raised her head looking straight at the prince.

"How is she?" he ignored her indifference towards him and asked her directly. Lady Jenna is his concern. He tried to peek at the carriage but Angelina only stepped forward to blocked his view. The prince saw her movements and looked at her.

"She is fine for now but if His Highness keeps hindering us, I'm afraid her treatment will be delayed and she might get ill." Angelina said indifferently. "Then if you may excuse us." she bowed and get stepped into the carriage.

Prince Gerald could only watched the carriage passed by until it can't be seen. It's his fault making the situation more worse. It might affect their relationship because of his reckless behavior.

One of the Empress' servant came out and walked at the prince's direction. He bowed and said. "Greetings to Your Highness. Her Majesty ordered to summon you to go to her palace now."

"Now..?" he scanned the servant infront of him. Now the banquet is ruined because of this incident lots of nobles left earlier than expected. Those who tried to stay felt there is no fun and was affected of the majority's mood so they left too. What happened earlier surely will spread in nobility and common folks. They will become the number one topic tomorrow.

"Yes, Your Highness. Her Majesty said if you don't go now she might do something unexpected to that lady."

The prince face turned cold. He nodded and the servant ushered him to the Empress' palace. The servant knocked twice at the door. The door was opened by a maid. There are several servants inside and they get out and closed the door leaving the Empress and the prince behind. The Empress is sitting on the sofa while elegantly drinking the tea. The prince walked where the sofa is. He stood there watching his mother drinking tea. After drinking the tea she putted it down not looking at her son.

"What nonsense did you said earlier?" she said while looking at the tea on the table. "Are you being reckless because of a mere woman?" she said looking at him fiercely.

"Mother, she is not a 'mere woman'. Lady Caster caused too much trouble, and she is not fit to be in that position." he indifferently said.

"Then do you think that nouveau riche is more fit?" she said with sarcasm. "Do you think love is more important? You are deluded by her."

"Mother, I'm not. I'm the prince and only the Emperor's son. Whom I marry is not the problem here. Whatever her status in social circle might be is of no concern." he expalined seriously. His eyes very determined and made the Empress more annoyed by his uncontrollable behavior.

The Empress slammed the table causing the teacups shattered on the floor. The servant heard it and knocked at the door asking if the Empress is fine.

"You must remember that His Majesty—the Emperor is still not giving you a title of a crown prince." she wiped her hands by the handkerchief. "You must reconcile with Lady Caster and to curry favor with Marquess Caster after the punishment. Lady Caster is inlove with you so asking for forgiveness will be easy."

"Mother, you know that I don't want to——"

"This is an order." the Empress said coldly. "Now go, reflect yourself for a month."

Prince Gerald find himself helpless. He feel useless because he is still under his mother's control. He clenched his fists tightly and bowed unwillingly. "Then, farewell." he strode away not looking back. If he only has enough authority—no if he only has his own power he would not suffering now. He is like a puppet being controlled. But the fact that he is not crowned as a crown prince made him think he is impotent. He even wondered though he is the Emperor's only son he did not seem to be favored.

The Empress watched the receding figure of her son. The servants came in and cleaned the floor. She picked up the letter that she wrote earliervand look at it for a while then she gave it to her personal maid. "Send this letter without anyone noticing." the servant nodded and grabbed the letter.

"I warned her but she never learn her lesson. Let's see, if she tried once again meddle to my son's affairs... I'm afraid what will I do to her." she smiled evily. She can only let the matter go once but if it repeatedly happened, she has no patience for it. Afterall her concern is her son's succession. She will get rid who goes on her way. Even it means to kill who he cherish.

After three days a lot of things happened in just a short span of time. The Empress sent a doctor and sent many gifts at Caster's mansion. There are lots of gorgeous dresses, jewelries and rare collectibles but father rejected them all saying "How could Her Majesty compare my daughter as an object!? Did Her Majesty think we are gullible?! Did Her Majesty thinks we lack these kind of stuff?" and because of that those servants from the royal family did not dare to come again. They will lose face if they keep bribing the Marquess. Her father is like a wall when his daughter is being wrong. To be honest he spolied Viviana too much that's why she become unruly and selfish causing her to hate Viviana in the novel.

Sophie is now outside the garden enjoying tea by herself. She already acknowledge them and accepted that her identity is Viviana Mari Dulvan Caster. At first she didn't realize though the name rings a bell but she couldn't figure out that time because her mind is in chaos. Her identity is a villain of her favorite novel titled: My Heroine, Please Love Me!.

The story is all about Jenna Norsz whose from a merchant family. Her family recently acquired the title of a Baron because they contributed enough in social circle. Her family's business is struggling because they have many competitives. Jenna is not a social butterfly but she needs to attend banquets to gather nobles and sell her products. She is very independent in such a young age of eighteen but the heroine is too kind for her own good. On her journey saving her family's business she met those male leads in the novel.

She finds this story good and not boring. Originally, this is a korean novel. It's been a long time since the last update. When she browsed, it is said the novel is near in completion but the problem is there are no enough translators that's why it's in hiatus. She spoiled herself through the internet she only know that there are three male leads but the translated novel she read there are only two. So she is very excited but she fell asleep, still she doesn't have a clue how she got here in the first place!

Sigh, but the problem is her role in the novel! The character named Viviana Mari Dulvan Caster is the only daughter of Marquess Gideon Caster and Marchioness Genevieve Dulvan Caster. Her father is the first cousin of the Empress in earlier generation. The Empress' grandmother has younger sister which equal to the Empress' mother's age. That made her grand aunt and she is married to the late Marquess Caster and gave birth to the new Marquess Gideon Caster. That's why they are related but they are distant relatives. The Empress' mother married to Earl Lionel Schawenger which is below to the Marquess in nobility.

Viviana's mother, Genevieve Dulvan Caster was married first to Viscount Harold Dulvan but he died when Viviana was five years old. Her mother became widowed at such an early marriage but she was remarried to Marquess Gideon Caster after three years of mourning. The law here stated if your spouse died you still carry his surname even if you get remarried. Her mother was able to get the dowry and few lands of the viscount as a compensation. The only successor at that time was only Viscount Harold, now he died the title is on hold and the title is still on a debate in court. The Dulvan's are now in chaos because the viscount title and it's rank in nobility is reasonable considering the wealth of the household.

Her mother is able to get remarry to avoid the Dulvan's struggle for the title. Luckily, it was stated at his last will that he will gift her mother few riches so that she won't suffer and could remarry in the future. She is not related by blood to the Empress and her son, the prince of this empire. The Marquess title is below the Duke and it is even combined by the late Viscountess which is her mother. That's why the Empress give this marriage importance. The Marquess is even her distant relative that will be good to gather relative's power as one. More importantly they are in her side so there are less possibility that they will betray her.

Sophie frowned by knowing the novel's villain's background. She doesn't want to get more in trouble and want to severe the engagement but it will take her great efforts to do that. This character is known being insanely inlove with the prince they will doubt if she suddenly severe it. She needs to think for more opportunities, if possible she will help the male lead, the prince. For now, the prince is grounded for a month. If she recalled correctly the story goes that the heroine—Jenna Norsz will meet the second male lead which is the distinguish noble businessman named Sione Huntsman. The prince's absence for a month will make the two meet.

She could get idle whenever she wants afterall she's the daughter of a noble. She even pretended that she lost her memories though she know the character and the plot still she can't act like a brat.

The news between her and the prince is still on going that's why she is forbidden to go outside until the gossip subsided. Her father forbids to talk about what happened three days ago in the mansion. Viviana has lots of enemies including the servants of the household because of her unruly behavior. She accidentally heard the gossip of the maids while she is on her way in the garden.

That she, Viviana is very shameless and all that she deserved that etc. She only sighed and let them hate her. Even she the reader of the novel got annoyed at Viviana—the character. With this one month span of free time she will try to fix her image. If she want to avoid trouble she needs to lessen atleast the enemies around her.

She putted down the teacup and finally decided. She already pretended that she lost her memories even the doctor said that she knocked her head hard so there is a possibility that what she said was true.

The maid behind Sophie startled because she putted down the teacup with little force. The tea residue is still on Sophie's hands without her knowing. The maid noticed it she pulled out the handkerchief in her pocket she was about to step forward but one of her colleagues held her hand and shook her head. The maid only smiled and walked beside Lady Viviana. She heard that she lost her memories because of the incident. The servants in the mansion is still in doubt because Lady Viviana spouted many excuses in order to get out of trouble. If this is true or not she is still their master. "My Lady your hand is wet, let this servant wipe it." she said politely while showing the handkerchief. She want to test her master so she gambled this time.

Sophie looked at her right hand and true there is a tea residue. "Oh..." she exclaimed. She was in a deep thought earlier so she hasn't notice it. "Oh don't trouble yourself, let me do it." she smiled and get the handkerchief in the maid's hands. She starts to wipe it off while continuing her thoughts.

Those maids were speechless and shocked because of what they witnessed. Lady Viviana thinks she is very noble and always finds fault to those servants. She rarely let her maids touch her without permission but wiping by herself... If there is a single stain in her body she will get angry and will not wear the dress again.

Those maids exchanged glances they were little convinced that their master might really have an amnesia. They secretly wish that she will remain like this, forever. Sophie has no clue what they are thinking about her, she is focused on her situation how to change herself for the better. Little did she know that she already left a good impression.

There is a lady sitting on a sofa. She saw Sophie through the window. "Is she really my daughter? The daughter that I spoiled too much?" she said out of the blue. After three days her daughter changed so drastically she even can't recognize her. When the doctor came and checked her condition that she really knocked her head enough that there are possibility she might lost her memories. Her and her husband feel unhappy of what happened and they put this matter in secret, even the Empress does not know.

The personal maid who attended Mrs. Caster—Alisa sighed. Even she can't believe what had happened with the young lady. They don't know how to react if they are happy or not, specially those servants who were mistreated by Viviana. She is spoiled when she was very young before she came here in the Caster's mansion. They treated it like normal kids will do but her attitude had gone worse when she get older and older. Luckily Mr. and Mrs. Caster have a long patience and endured her behavior as they are only their daughter. Now that Mrs. Caster is currently pregnant she wondered if the favor will shift to this baby. How will their young lady will take it? Could she still act unruly? She doubt that their lady's lost of memories is an act, that's why as servants they keep watching their young mistress' movements and will immediately report it to Mr. and Mrs. Caster.

"Your Ladyship needs to rest and don't worry anymore. Let the doctors cure Young Lady's illness." Alisa said while she starts to clean the embroidery set that her master used.

"What about the doctor's prescriptions? Is she taking it regularly?" Genevieve asked in a worry. She blamed herself not taking her daughter well and lost her memories. She feels that she lack something.

"Your Ladyship don't need to worry. The maids said that she drink the medicine under the doctor's prescription." she paused. "Ah, Your Ladyship it's time for Young Lady to drink her medicine." she suddenly remembered and blurted it out. She's the one who is assigned for the Young Lady's necessities so she know her schedule when the medicine should be taken.

"Let me deliver it to her." Genevieve said in enthusiasm. She want to see her daughter drink it in her own eyes so she will feel relieve.

Alisa noticed her expression, she can't help but get worried. "Your Ladyship let this servant do it. Your health is the utmost priority."

"Get the medicine now. If I won't do it by myself I will just get more worried." she said firmly. Alisa nodded and left.

Alisa came after few minutes holding a tray with bowl of medicine. Genevieve stood up supported by a maid and starts to walk to the garden. She carefully walk and reach her destination. She saw her daughter sitting in a daze. Those maids who serve Viviana saw Genevieve they about to bow but Genevieve waved her hand to stop them and leave them alone. Those maids left quietly leaving behind Mrs. Caster and Viviana with their personal maids.

"Dear, why are you in a daze? Did something happened?" Genevieve asked in a worry. When Sophie heard it she suddenly stood up and spilled the tea on the table. Everyone was shocked of her sudden reaction, she looks very nervous. On the other hand Sophie is still not use to her current life and if possible she seldom talk to everyone. In real life she is introvert that's why she find herself awkward in conversation, because in her case it ended up too quickly. Though she has friends but she is still getting isolated and ignored most of the time.

"M-mother..." she forced a smile. She fixed her posture and regained her senses.

Genevieve only smiled back and gesture the maids to clean the table. They waited for a while then she held Viviana's hand to sit down. Sophie followed her."How are you feeling? Is still your head hurts?"

"It does not hurt that much but I'm fine really." she assured her while holding her hand. She feel secured even though she is stranger to her.

"Aish, as your father and I told you to get bandage and rest but you still here outside doing a tea party on your own." she complained but she sounds more worried. Sophie's heart melts because of her warm. If just Viviana—the character in novel is like an angel like her own mother that would be good. Viviana's mother is just too kind resulting Viviana's unruly behavior which is very opposite to her parents.

"Ah, I brought your medicine here. It's still warm you should drink it." Genevieve excitedly said. Alisa stepped forward and gave the medicine to her master. Sophie gulped so hard seeing the medicine color like a moss and in her eyes it looks gross. Telling the truth she tried once to drink it yesterday while her eyes close. The bitter flavor is so strong that even she woke up the other day she still can taste it. That's why she's drinking tea hoping the taste will go away. She even throw the medicine in the morning secretly and told them a lie that she did drink it when her mother's personal maid name Alisa came and asked. The problem is her mother personally delivering it to her!

"Ah... T-thank you mother. I will drink it later." she said while forcing a smile trying to hide her disgust. The medicine looks too gross!

"I personally delivered it to you because I'm worried about your health. So that I can rest assured." Genevieve said feeling aggrieved. Sophie saw this she can't help but surrender her heart melts seeing this scene. She read the novel and she knew about her motherly love towards Viviana.

"Mother I'll drink it so don't worry anymore, okay?" she said and get the bowl. She hesitated for a second and drink it in one go. Genevieve laughed seeing this scene. The maids around them smiled seeing this scene between mother and daughter.

"W-water..." Sophie said in a hurry. She can't endured the taste.

"Servants get some water and Alisa get my sweet snacks." she ordered and those maids nodded and left hurriedly. "Does the medicine tastes so bad?" she asked while laughing. Her daughter's face looks so awkward not so lady-like but she find it lovely.

"Yes, I hope mother will allow me not to drink this anymore. I'm really fine." Sophie complained jokingly but in her heart she really wished it too.

"You won't unless the doctor said so." Genevieve smiled whole heartedly she like the new her but she still miss the old Viviana. If she just raise her carefully her behavior might not become unruly. Whatever her behavior is good or bad she still loves her.

"Mother, ask the doctor to lessen the bitterness of the medicine or make alternative flavors so everyone could drink it without problems." Sophie requested out of the blue. Because in modern times there are several flavors she was a kid, and her favorite was grapes at that time.

"Flavors? It's the first time I heard that you can add some flavors to a medicine. All the medicine I know are bitter or bland." Genevieve wondered. If the medicine that usually made have some flavors that would be good specially for children. Other parents will have no troubles to force their children to drink it. "Your suggestion is good! I'll tell your father about that. Your father has a friend that who own a hospital in the capital." she smiled while holding Sophie's hand.

"I-I was joking! Ha-ha." Sophie became nervous. She know in this ancient times medicine is still evolving and she blatantly blurted that out about flavors. If her mother tell it to her father he might inquire more and she can't explain it clearly it might arouse their suspicion.

Sophie nervously laugh and she saw Alisa walking forward behind her are several maids holding each tray. "M-mother they are here!" she pointed at their direction. Genevieve looked and didn't try to inquire about her suggestion. She can just tell it at dinner later.

"Your Ladyship." Alisa greeted them and gestured those maids to put all the foods and drink at the table. Sophie was astonished when she saw the snacks they are cute and beautiful. Genevieve smiled seeing her reaction. They waited for a while and the table is set.

"These are my snacks that I personally made. Try it, it will lessen the bitterness of the medicine." Genevieve smiled pointing the mini cupcakes that she made earlier. Sophie drooled and immediately took a cupcake and shoved it to her mouth. It's so fluffy and the chocolate melted. She took and tried several flavors and her favorite was the strawberry cupcake that tastes like strawberry shortcake in modern times. She is happy because the bitterness is gone leaving only sweetness in her mouth.

"Eat it slowly no one will take it from you." Genevieve said laughingly. She notice that there are few stains on her mouth. She stood up and used her handkerchief to wipe her mouth. Sophie was startled and awkwardly letting her be.

"T-thank you..." she said nervously. She waited until she was done. Genevieve took a step back scanning if there are still stains.

"You should eat carefully, not so lady-like! You can only do this at home, okay? Or else you will get bullied and it will make us worry." she scolded her. Though Sophie was scolded she can still feel her caring warm towards her. Why Viviana doesn't treasure her angel-like mother?! Thinking about that it made Sophie more annoyed at the character.

"Your Ladyship, it's time for your afternoon nap." Alisa interrupted and reminded her master. Her master is pregnant that's why they are more careful.

"Oh..." Genevieve looked at Alisa then at her daughter. "I can't accompany you anymore." she sighed.

Sophie smiled and said. "Mother, let me accompany you until you reach your bedroom. Is that okay?" she stood up and walked beside her holding her arm.

"Then I'll trouble you." Genevieve said while smiling. Sophie and her both laughing on the way. Those servants can't help but look at them being intimate. Others felt relieve and some are suspicion. It's very weird because Viviana usually ignore her parents when something does not go in her way. Now look, they are both having fun.

Sophie can't help but look at her mother's belly. There is a small baby bump. She remembered about the story after one month of absence of the prince he was finally released but he become more mature. He ignored Viviana at that time and he is setting his new goal to obtain power not through marriage alliance. Viviana became furious and requested to meet the prince she even visit the palace to see Her Majesty. Empress agreed what her son's doing and temporarily ignored Viviana. At that time Viviana was very frustrated she feel easily irritated and her mother tried to appease her but Genevieve was pushed so hard and fell on the ground. Her belly was hit so hard that cause her miscarriage.

"We are here." Genevieve said and looked at her daughter who was in a daze. Sophie get back to her senses and smile. "You rest too. Let's meet at dinner later." Genevieve said while waving her hand. Sophie only nodded and watch her mother to go inside.

She bit her lip and promised to herself that she will take care of Viviana's mother. Even the original plot of the novel change it course.
