KINA [ORPHAN| FL]

DESMOND SINCLAIR [FL'S BOYFRIEND]

KINA [ORPHAN| FL]

KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
Wait what did you say?
DESMOND SINCLAIR [FL'S BOYFRIEND]

Kina felt the world crumble from beanth her feet.
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
You're joking.
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]

DESMOND SINCLAIR [FL'S BOYFRIEND]

I can't do this anymore. This relationship is suffocating.
DESMOND SINCLAIR [FL'S BOYFRIEND]
DESMOND SINCLAIR [FL'S BOYFRIEND]

Kina kept quiet for a second, staring at Desmond.
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
Have the decency to tell me the truth.
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
Who is she?
DESMOND SINCLAIR [FL'S BOYFRIEND]
What are you talking about ~ Nervous ~
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
Tell me the truth.
DESMOND SINCLAIR [FL'S BOYFRIEND]

KINA [ORPHAN| FL]

Shock filled Desmond's face, and seeing this, Kina laughed a painful laugh.
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
Ha.. I knew it.
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
You're to are both dogs that deserve each other.
Kina takes her drink and splashes it on Desmond before leaving the restaurant.
It was late at night and Kina walked to the bus station waiting for the next bus home.
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
I can't believe this.
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
My best friend and boyfriend.
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
Augh....Man are such dogs
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
This day can't get worse than this.
Kina phone vibrates signaling a notification.
❗️The King's concubine has updated ❗️
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
What updates are only on Mondays.
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
Whatever, I won't complain. Reading will cheer me up.
In the Kingdom of Azart lived a cold king who had no care for his people. His palace overflowed with luxury, and his harem was filled with the finest women from across the lands, yet none of them ever caught his eye.
A woman from a faraway, destroyed kingdom stepped into his court, carrying nothing but silence and secrets. From the moment he saw her, the king became consumed and obsessed in a way he had never known before.
But she was no ordinary woman.
Behind her beauty burned a single purpose: revenge. She had come to kill the very man who had brought ruin to her homeland.
What began as a meeting of strangers soon turned into a dangerous game one woven with hatred, desire, and something far more complicated.
Caught in the crossfire of this twisted tale were the Archduke and his duchess.
The Archduke, brother to the king, had been reduced to a lifeless shell after the Great War feared once, now nothing more than a man trapped in his own body. Cold even in silence, he lay unmoving while his duchy fell into ruin.
His wife, however, was anything but helpless.
A cunning and heartless woman, the duchess seized control of the duchy’s wealth during his coma. She drained its coffers to adorn herself in jewels and to entertain her many lovers, while the people she ruled over starved and suffered
But power never goes unanswered.
When the heroine rose to become queen, she wasted no time in delivering justice. The scheming duchess was sentenced to death.
Fate, however, had one final twist.
A week before the execution, the Archduke awakened.
The duchess, desperate and certain she would be spared, clung to hope, but it was misplaced. The man she had betrayed felt nothing for her. Without hesitation, he upheld her sentence and ordered her execution himself.
After her death, the Archduke took her sister as his new bride.
And so, balance was restored where the wicked met their end, and the rest found their own version of a happy ending.
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
Finally, a good ending!
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
That villainous cheating ass of a duchess deserved her ending.
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
She was such a problem.
Suddenly, Kina heard a loud honk and saw a truck coming straight for her on the sidewalk.
KINA [ORPHAN| FL]
What the f-
Kina collided head first with the truck. Her body flying till she hit the ground hard.
CHAPTER ONE
The sun rose slowly, shining over Vicount Revest's manor.
JONES REVEST [FL'S FATHER| VICOUNT]
Stop being selfish, Lousia!
Louisa suddenly takes a loud breath in, holding on to her neck as she coughed loudly.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Oh my gosh. Where am I.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Didn't I die?
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Ahh, I did. This is the afterlife.
JONES REVEST [FL'S FATHER| VICOUNT]
Lousia!
Lousia ignores the screaming, getting up and looking around the dining room.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
This place is so medieval. It kinda rocks.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
But I must say. The person who decorated has questionable taste.
Lousia picks up a candle stick inspecting it carefully.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Is this real gold?
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
~ Bits into it ~
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Ouch! It's real omg the afterlife has gold.
JONES REVEST [FL'S FATHER| VICOUNT]
LOUSIA!!
JONES REVEST [FL'S FATHER| VICOUNT]
Lousia finally turns around to face the man shouting and points the candle stick at him.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Lousia!
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Lousia!
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
LOUSIA!
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Why is it you do not understand Lousia is not here? It's just you and me in this room.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
In fact, who even are you?
JONES REVEST [FL'S FATHER| VICOUNT]
Your father.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Pffttt... I'm an orp- wait. Are you my dad, dad, like I thought you abandoned me in that orphanage? It turns out you died.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Did mom die to?
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Is she here somewhere?
Louisa asked, looking around the room.
JONES REVEST [FL'S FATHER| VICOUNT]
Lucia, for goodness sake, no matter how crazy you act, you are not getting out of this marriage.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Marriage?
JONES REVEST [FL'S FATHER| VICOUNT]
Augh. Let me remind you that you are to marry the Arch Duke of the empire.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Arch Duke?
It finally dawned on Lousia
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
I can't breathe ~ out of breath ~
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
This can't be happening. I'm dreaming that's it right now. I'm sleeping on my comfy bed, and I am NOT Lousia.
JONES REVEST [FL'S FATHER| VICOUNT]
Lousia, stop the drama. This isn't a theater.
JONES REVEST [FL'S FATHER| VICOUNT]
Think about your elder sister. She is frail and sick. How is she supposed to marry the comatose duke?
JONES REVEST [FL'S FATHER| VICOUNT]
I wouldn't ask you for this, but we really need the money their offering to keep our house afloat.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
No....n....no ~ mumbling, holding her head, pacing up and down ~
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
JONES REVEST [FL'S FATHER| VICOUNT]
Plus, it's the duty of the younger sister to take care of the eldest sister.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
That saying is the other way around!
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]

CHAPTER TWO
The sun shined on a boat far away from the capital towards the north.
Inside the boat in one of the rooms was a girl regaining consciousness.
Louisa brought her hand to her head slowly opening her eyes.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Augh, my head hurts.
Just then, a basin hits the floor, making a noise.
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
Young Lady, you are awake!
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
It's been weeks! I thought you were never going to wake up.
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
Lousia stares at the maid in shock, struggling to comprehend all that was happening.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
I'm sorry this may come off as rude, but who are you and where am I?
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
The last thing I remember was being in some fancy looking dining room, and the craziest thing happened. Some man kept calling me Lousia.
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
Um, that's because you are Lousia.
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
I'm your maid Tessaphine, you probably forgot my name again.
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
We are on our way to the north about a month to go before we arrive.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
What?
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
~ In shock ~
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
WHAT!
Tessaphine immediately bows on the floor, apologizing alot.
Lousia looks at the kneeling Tessaphine in shock, waving her hands frantically.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Girl, why are you on the ground? Get up.
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
I must be punished for my mistake.
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
~ Bangs head on the ground ~
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
[💭: Oh my gosh, what is happening?]
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Just then a tall masculine man enters the room.
Seeing the scene before him of Tessaphine kneeling in front of Lousia.
RAGOTUS FRONTION [ML'S HAND]
~ disapproving look at Lousia ~
RAGOTUS FRONTION [ML'S HAND]
RAGOTUS FRONTION [ML'S HAND]
We are about to enter the northern sea. The sea is violent and rough riddled with a monster, so we advise you to hold on to something and keep silent.
The man leaves the room without giving Lousia a second glance.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
~ Distressed ~
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Tessa, for fu-cks sake, get off the floor you're making me look bad in front of strangers.
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
So...Sorry mama I won't do it again
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Tessa stop apologizing and get up.
Lousia helps Tessaphine get up by extending a hand.
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
~ Surprised ~
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]

TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]

LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]

TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
Lousia Revest, youngest daughter of Vicount Revest's family.
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
Well, technically speaking, you're Anderoa, but
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Tessaphine focus.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Now tell me, how am I here? I remember being in some sort of dining room
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
Well, Vicount Revest decided to put you on the ship while you were unconscious, so you wouldn't make a fuss
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
They put me on a ship unconscious. The next time I see those sh×t heads, it's gonna be a fight.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]

TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
We are going to the northern duchy.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]

TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]

TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
[💭: So I actually transmigrated into a book as the cliche Villainess]
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
This is ridiculous. ~ mumbles ~
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
I'm getting out of here. I'm not cut out to be a female lead unfortunately.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
I refuse to be one of those transmigration books female leads who have to go through alot.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
I'm not doing it.
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
What?
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
~confused~
TESSAPHINE [MAID|FL'S FRIEND]
[💭: She really hit her head hard]
Lousia jumps off her bed, heading for the door when something catches her eye from the ship window in her room.
She feels her heart pounding fast.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Wh....at is that.
LOUSIA ANDEROA [FL| ARCH DUCHESS]
Lousia nervously points to the window staring at the monster in shock.
