AMANDA (Colleagues)
Oh-Hi Donna. Sorry but Peter left a moment ago. He didn't text you?
DONNA

CLAIRE (Mordern World FL)

I started walking out of the building and call a cab but I didn't know Donna followed me.
DONNA

CLAIRE (Mordern World FL)
Really Donna? I don't know.Why don't you try and call him instead of pestering me. I'm tired, I'm going home.
DONNA

CLAIRE (Mordern World FL)

MAIDS
Oh no, what should we do? I'm sure the Duchess and the Duke is arguing again. Young Master Luciano fainted again while Our Lady is still suffering from high fever. 😭
MAIDS
if this continues, the Dukedom of Alexanders will suffer in the future. A weak Duke and Fragile Princess. The our empire will eat them alive.
MAIDS
it is said that the young Master Inherited a terminal disease from the Duchess's Family that can only be passed on to male heir. Poor child.
Why is it so noisy in here? what are they talking about?
MAIDS
quick! call the Duke and the duchess! then call a physician!
LUCIA (Young FL)
Wh-Where am I?
CHAPTER 2
It's been a week after my transmigration in the Novel: Dearest Lady Flower. And I, I am Lucia Rose Alexander, the only daughter of the Dukedom of Alexanders and the twin sister of the SECOND MALE LEAD. I very much know this Novel since this is one of my favorite novels. It's a story about an orphan girl who is actually the lost heiress daughter of the Northern Duke. The timeline is a little confusing tho since there was only a very brief background about the childhood of the Leads in the first 2 chapters of the novel.
One of the maids said that I'm only 9 years old and turning 10 next month on the 8th of September. In the Novel, the second male leads 10th birthday is one of the highlights of the childhood moments of the second lead since this is the time when he will be officially declared as the Duke's Heir - but now that I think about it, it was never mentioned that he has a sister and a twin to mention.
MAIDS
My Lady, would you like to take a walk outside?
I looked at her and nodded. I think it's time to leave this room and go check what's going on outside. I haven't seen anyone aside from the maids and doctors that checks on me. Tho, one of the maids said that my parents visits me at night to check on me while I am asleep unlike my brother who's never visited me once.
LUCIA (Young FL)
t-this is where we're going to take a walk? Are you sure we're allowed here!?
MAIDS
hahaha, of course my Lady. This is your home, of course you're allowed anywhere ☺
LARRISSA (FL's MOTHER)
Lucia?
LUCIA (Young FL)
👀(turns around)
MAIDS
Your Highness, Duchess! (bows)
Eh!? that's the Duchess?! 👀♥️
LUCIA (Young FL)
Y-Your Highness! (copies the maid)
oh no! I can't call her mother, can I? I mean, even if she's my mother. she's THE DUCHESS!
LARRISSA (FL's MOTHER)
(stunned) 💭 "Your Highness? " is she still unwell?! then why is she out here!?
LARRISSA (FL's MOTHER)
My Dear Lucia. Are you still unwell? why don't you call me Mother 🥺
LUCIA (Young FL)
I-I'm fine. I'm sorry your hig--I mean Mother
LARRISSA (FL's MOTHER)
May I join you in your walk my Princess?
LUCIA (Young FL)
Y-Yes of course.
Mother asked the maid to prepare a tea in the greenhouse while we walk around the garden. Now, it's just the 2 of us.
LARRISSA (FL's MOTHER)
Lucia...
LUCIA (Young FL)
Yes, Mother? 👀
LARRISSA (FL's MOTHER)
Mother is so sorry for not being able to take good care of you and you're brother. How are you feeling My Princess?
She must've been really worried sick. I heard I was unconscious for a month while I don't here any news from what happened to my brother.
LUCIA (Young FL)
I'm okay now,Mother. But...
LARRISSA (FL's MOTHER)
...?
LUCIA (Young FL)
I'm worried about brother... Can we visit him?
LARRISSA (FL's MOTHER)
Mother is sorry my Princess. We can't visit him right now. we have to wait until he's completely okay.
It must be heartbreaking. Not being able to visit his own son.
LARRISSA (FL's MOTHER)
But don't worry, he'll soon get better ☺
LUCIA (Young FL)
Alright 🙂
Moment passed by as we talked to each other, I learned about a lot of things from mother that wasn't in the Novel. I learned that my brother Luciano and I was born healthy but not until we turned 5 years old. She said unlike me, brother get sick more often and most of the time he gets bedridden for months. Doctors and Mages were summoned from all over the Dukedom but no one seems to know the cause of the illnesses that me and my brother always caught.
it's so frustrating how fragile this body is. 😮💨 I feel tired by just thinking about it.
LUCIA (Young FL)
Ugh 😮💨 I can't sleep. Maybe I should go get some warm water, no need to bother the maids at dawn.
LUCIA (Young FL)
Maybe I will also get some cookies, I'm craving for sweets anyway 🍪🤤
LUCIA (Young FL)
Mother? 👀 (hides)
why is she standing outside the kitchen door looking like that?
LARRISSA (FL's MOTHER)
(walks away)
LUCIA (Young FL)
(approaches the kitchen)
MAIDS
There has been rumours going around the capital that the Duchess and the Duke are getting divorce.
MAIDS
what? is it because of what recently happened to the young master and young lady?
LUCIA (Young FL)
👀‼️‼️‼️‼️⁉️ (listening behind the doors)
MAIDS
It's rumored that Her Highness the Duchess was the reason of all the chaos that been happening in the Dukedom.
MAIDS
That's right. She's even forbidden on entering the Young Master's bedroom because they said his condition may worsen.
LUCIA (Young FL)
👀‼️‼️‼️⁉️
HOLD UP! Is that why Mother said that we can't visit Lucio because she's actually forbidden to enter his room!?
MAIDS
They also said that it's because of the curse that has been hunting the Duchess Family.
MAIDS
The Curse where all the Young Male Heir of the Family will die before they turn 21 of age.
LUCIA (Young FL)
👀‼️⁉️⁉️⁉️
WHAT NOW?! THERE'S A CURSE RUNNING IN OUR FAMILY BLOODLINE!?
MAIDS
I feel sorry for her. She's being blamed for what happened to her children. It's not her fault, she never asked this for her children.
MAIDS
Now, the other Nobles are saying how incompetent and failure as a Mother our Duchess is. It breaks my heart. She's now being forbidden to leave and attend any gathering as well.
MAIDS
How can the Duke be so cruel... 🤧
so it was the Duke who's forbidding the Duchess. but why!? and divorce!? how bad is Luciano's condition? I have so many questions that I don't know where to start! 😣
MAIDS
hush. be careful with your words. someone might hear you.
Don't you think that's a little too late for that now? tsk! I better head back to my room before someone caught me. I'll handle those gossiping maids early by tomorrow.
LUCIA (Young FL)
👀 [looks up to the standing man behind me]
LUCIA (Young FL)
👀‼️⁉️⁉️⁉️
LUCIA (Young FL)
holy sh---
MAIDS
YOUR HIGHNESS THE DUKE.!
LUCIA (Young FL)
👀‼️‼️‼️‼️
