Chapter 1

Princess Roseanne was a "villainess"

•

Who was hated by all

•

No one cared or showed sympathy even when she died...

I hated this ending as a reader, I hated the villainess's character, if she would have been a little open to others... maybe she wouldn't have had ended up like that...

•

I wish I could change the ending

•

I wish I could could change the character similar to me...

•

That's what I thought before jumping off the cliff... and somehow ended up in the novel, "blood stained roses".

•

In the novel, princess roseanne was an adopted child of the imperial family.

The day she was adopted the empress died. The whole kingdom blamed her for bringing misfortune and soon rumours started to spread about the "devil's child".

[ Devil's child is the nickname given to Roseanne ]

All kinds of nasty rumours spread about her. And the most nasty thing of all was that the emperor didn't even bothered to take actions against those rumours. It was as if he had taken Roseanne responsible for her beloved wife's death.

•

Soon after, she was sent to the emerald palace far away from the imperial palace and the emperor.

She lived upto the rumours and became no less than the real devil's child. Once she attended a ball and gouged out a person's eyes because she didn't like the look in his eyes. That person was an important noble and his familly took matters to the imperial court.

Princess Roseanne was sentenced to life long prison and died a silent death.

It was known later that she died of an incurable disease. No one knew about her condition.

•

That's that... but now the main issue is, I have somehow ended up in her place...

Why a second chance of life to me?

•

I chose death at my own wish...

•

I was tiered of that shitty life, those fake people, those fake expressions, that fake world...

So why? Why did I end up here? It's not like I wanna live...

•

( knock, knock )

" Princess it's me, Emma "

Emma? Roseanne's personal maid...

" Come in "

" I brought you breakfast. Or would you like to wash up first? "

" I would like to take a bath. "

•

In the novel, Emma was the most close to Roseanne and the one who slowly poisoned her with every meal she ate. Roseanne's health kept getting worse with each day passing. But she didn't once suspected Emma.

•

Roseanne was a fool that was hated by all.

•

I wouldn't make the same mistake as Roseanne, to think she trusted that maid...

•

I took a bath and was dressed by the maids but refused to eat. For the rest of the day, I thought of a plan. I would steal some gems from the emrald palace and would live a quiet and peaceful life in the countryside, travelling. Something I had never thought of in my previous life let alone implement it.

By evening I was getting hungry...

I had to eat before I die of malnutrition. I decided to take a look at the shops in the kingdom.

•

Emma called to me, " Princess, are you going somewhere ?"

" Yes, I will be back soon. "

She insisted for me to take a gaurd with me but I refused. I didn't want to get assassinated.

•

I put my robe on and left.

While exploring the shops I found many delicious snacks. But while walking I suddenly felt a pain... it was so painful as if my nerves and intensities were about to burst.

I coughed blood...

And the next moment I felt dizzy and lost my balance but someone cought to me just in time. I fell unconscious.

That's what I remember before waking up in a bed next to a bonfire.

I saw an old couple taking care of me. Of course, They didn't recognised me as the adopted princess because Roseanne's face was never officially revealed. I thanked them and was about to leave when I realised my legs won't listen to me.

I couldn't stand up...

The old man said to me, " kiddo, take it easy. I think you should rest for a while. "

" Sorry for troubling you. "

" No worries ", he said

•

I dozed off again...

•

When I woke up the old woman made me porridge and I happily accepted. It had been a while since someone had treated me so kindly...

" Oh! you woke up? ", someone said standing at the doorway

I looked confused towards that figure, it was a boy around my age.

The old lady told me that he was the one who brought me here and took care of me. Turns out that boy was the old couple's grandchild.

I thanked them and apologized for the trouble and left.

When I returned to the palace, Emma showed her fake concern

" Where were you? I was so worried about you. I even asked the gaurds to search for you by they were not able to find you. You haven't eaten since morning, do you want to eat something? You must be hungry right!? "

This time I decided to be real.

" No need for such formalities. "

" What do you mean Princess? "

" What I mean to say is that you don't need to show fake concerns as a formality. I am tierd now, you can go. "

Emma hesitantly, "...ye-yes princess, I will be taking my leave now. Rest well. "

•

The next morning I was woken up by Emma's voice.

" It's morning princess. Wake up. "

She came in and suddenly screamed

" What's with the screaming? ", I said annoyingly

She pointed her finger towards my pillow. I soon realised...

I had coughed blood... again

It was one of the symptoms of spinocerebellar ataxia, the incurable disease owned by Roseanne.

Unlike the novel, the disease was progressing rather quick

•

" B...b...blood!! "

" Don't scream! It's no big deal, "

" What do you mean it's no big deal? You coughed blood!! "BLOOD"!!, I will call a doctor right away. Don't move princess. Take rest. Don't worry. It will be alright. "

" No!!! I don't need a doctor. I am fine. Don't concern yourself with me and I told you this yesterday also but I will repeat myself again, no need for formalities. "
