The morning of breakfast with the emperor, I decided to get up early. But it was a morning far from refreshing. Since receiving the invitation from him, I have been nervous and have not been able to sleep well.
I feel so tired. In the end I couldn't sleep properly for two consecutive nights.
My head was heavy. I blinked blankly and sighed.
Damn this breakfast with the emperor!
Just in time I heard a knocking sound.
"Come in."
Elle and May along with two other maids stepped into my room and said their greetings to me.

It has been a week since Alistair left the palace for the monster subjugation. Meanwhile I've been busy with my study, potion making, and also with my music in between.I was a workaholic in my previous life. So, no matter how much I loved to give myself a break, I couldn't really stay still and do nothing for too long. I'd end up getting anxious if I do so. So I just did anything to keep myself busy.But still, as a woman from the 21st century, it was very hard for me to adjust to this medieval environment without electricity, cell phone, or internet.Bored. That was my worst enemy.Do you know what girls in this era usually do in their free time? Painting, embroidery, reciting poems, hostin
The person standing in front of me looked so unreal, with hair that glistened like pure gold in the sunlight and golden eyes that reminded me of the sun. It made me wonder if someone painted him using the blood of Gods.If that was the case, would that man standing in front of me be the result? His face really is the work of art. Sharp features, clear skin, pink lips, and a jawline that could cut-"Are you okay, my lady?"His voice snapped me back to reality.I was so grateful that I was wearing a hood, or else, he'd see me blushing. It'd be super embarrassing."Ehm, yes. I'm fine."
"What did you mean by my other identity?" I asked calmly, despite my pounding heart."Ahh, I’m sorry for my presumptuous question. I was just curious because this is the first time I saw such an interesting soul."She took a step closer, her expression was gentle, yet I couldn't help but be wary of her."Maybe I should change my question,” she mumbled to herself, then she leaned forward to whisper. "Is this perhaps not your first life?"My eyes widened in shock."How did you-""I thought I saw incorrectly. But as I expected, I wasn't," she spoke.
Three days passed since my last mental breakdown at the temple and I've been coming every day ever since.Visiting the temple to help with the restoration has become my new routine.Let's say that spending time outside the stuffy castle, listening to Priestess Elena wise and kind words, meditating in the temple and helping the orphan childrens was my self-made therapy to cope with depression.But of course, just when I thought 'what possibly could go wrong', destiny surprised me again with its own ways.Surprise, surprise... I have been invited by Empress Sophia to have afternoon tea with her.Elle was quite worried, but she did a great jo
The way he causes misunderstandings is really beyond meHis blunt method of speaking made it easy for other people to misconstrue his intentions. And, as expected, Princess Adellia and all the attendants gasped.The attendants traded glances with each other, wondering if this might be a sign of a romantic affair while Princess Adellia glaring dagger at me.But I, the one receiving his comment, did not misunderstand at all. Well... It was because I read the book and I have lots of knowledge specific to him.This angel. Wait, an angel? What do they say about Lucifer again? Ahh, they say Lucifer had the prettiest fa
"My Lady, please be careful."I ignored Osiris's warning. The moment May informed me that Alistair had come back from the monster subjugation, without thinking I abandoned the piano I was playing and ran as fast as I could to the entrance.There, I saw him. Alistair, still in his military uniform, got off of his tall white horse befitting a prince. His silver hair blown by the wind moved graciously, a perfectly sculpted face as beautiful as ever. It was like a scene from some ethereal illustration, or an amazing painting of some angel.My heart was beating wildly due to excitement. He's back.. My strongest shield is back."Brother..." I called out.
Imagine how surprised I was when I woke up in the morning and suddenly received a message that I was summoned to the Sun Palace.I was even more surprised when I was brought to the royal garden instead of the dining room. I was asked to wait alone so Osiris was not with me.'What am I supposed to expect here?'My brain hurts from thinking too much.I just sat on the sofa and enjoyed the tea prepared for me. It was a black tea and honestly it didn't suit my taste. But who am I to complain, right? The snacks look delicious, but I didn't think I could stomach it right now.I waited for a while, deep in my own thoughts that I didn’
Eomma visited me for the inevitable confrontation after my last escapades. I was supposed to be hospitalized after I injured my leg. The doctor even told me that I should rest for at least three weeks for my leg to heal.But of course it was not an option for someone like me who always had a packed schedule. There’d be a lot to lose if I miss even only one of my schedules.So, eomma only granted me one day off, and it wasn't after she emphasized how much she cares for me that she even allowed me to have a day off even though it made her lose a lot of money.My manager thought it was ridiculous and so did everyone who heard that.It was a spur of the mom
