I looked outside the carriage as we arrived at the market, the place was crowded and many people were walking and going for shopping.
"We should go in your favourite shop for dress my lady."
Bisnna said as she was sighing, she was against of me going out and insisted that we should just send someone to call for seamistress for the party that Emily is going to have tomorrow.
I nodded at her as she gives instructions to the coachmen on where to stop the carriage.
The people were looking on us when we get off from the carriage.
"Welcome in our shop Lady Devineris!"
I was greeted by a woman who was smiling widely at me.
Is she the owner?
"Madame has been waiting for you."
She said and I just nodded, so she was not the owner of this place.
"Oh, if it isn't my favourite customer, It's nice to see you today Lady Navia!"
The seamistress said as she was guiding me to a room which seems to be for those noble people.
"I heard you needed a dress for Lady Emily's party."
She said as she was calling some of her workers to serve me some tea and desserts.
"Miss Gracia, Lady Rowens has already arrived."
I heard one of her worker said as she looked at me and paled.
"Oh my, what do we do?"
I heard the owner said as she seems to be panicking too.
Everyone knew that Navia doesn't like Camila not just because of the crown prince, but because of her having a commoner's blood.
That isn't correct.
That day when she pushed her on the pond was not only because she admired the prince, but also she learned that her mother was a lowly woman who used to be slave who works in a brothel.
Which she can't accept that the prince like her who was of noble blood to someone who was lower than her.
Navia was stubborn and arrogant because she was used to be isolated by everyone, even in their home.
No matter how loyal they are to their house, but she always pushes them because of what Lady Morkis planted on her head, that she was nothing, but a disastrous brat.
A disastrous brat who knows nothing aside from tormenting people.
The door opened and a beautiful lady came out, but she was dressing up plainly like those typical good character.
"Lady Navia.."
She said as she looks surprised to see me there.
"Lady Camila.."
I said as I looked at her as she looked down on the floor.
"Lady Navia.. don't hurt my lady..."
I looked at the woman beside Camila and saw that it was her maid.
"And who are you?"
I asked her even though I know what she is to Camila, but doesn't she knew that it was ill mannered for a servant to just barge into conversation with noble people?
"Forgive Lena, Lady Navia she just concerned about me.."
Concerned?
I know how despicable the real Navia is but she never intiated a fight nor hurt anyone without provoking her.
"I was just concerend that you might hurt my lady after what you did last time.'
The maid named Lena said as she even rolled her eyes.
"Are you rolling your eyes at me?"
I asked as I stood up from where I was sitting and face the two of them.
"What are you saying, Lady Navia?"
She asked innocently, damned how rude.
"You're rude for a lowly maid."
I said as I looked at her as she gritted her teeth, I don't want to insult her for being low born, but since she isn't respecting me either I should return her the favor.
"Lady Navia, I know you don't like me, but please do spare my maid for being rude."
Camila said as she was looking at me with those pleading eyes.
Why is she being like this? I am just saying that her servant is rude and wasn't planning to do something and yet, it seems like I was the wrong one?
"Lady Camila, I am not going to do anything to your servants so don't make me look bad."
I said as I can feel my chest tighten as I remembered something.
Those people in my work place use to do this trick to me whenever I tried telling to the higher one's what they were doing, in the end.
"I am really sorry if she offended you, Lady Navia."
Camila said as she looks at me with those pleading eyes.
Is she for real?
I already told her that I am not going to do anything, in fact I even wanted to befriend her for the sake to change my fate as I know from the novel that she was good to everyone.
And yet, here she is making me look bad, and sounded like a broke plaque of music.
"Lady Camila, My lady isn't harming you and she already said, she's not going to hurt your servant."
I looked at Bissna who said those words to Camila as she looks calm while looking at the two in front of us.
"How dare you talk to my lady?!"
Lena yelled at Bissna who slap her.
"And how dare you talk to my lady too?"
Bisnna asked as she looked at Camila's maid angrily whow as now holding her cheeks.
"Forgive Lena, Lady Navia."
Camila said as she was supporting her maid.
As far as I know, Lena was the one who raised her as the Marquis new wife hates her for having a commoner's blood.
"L-Lady Camila.... H-here's the dress that you ordered last time."
The owner of the shop said as she interrupted as while her voice seems to be shaking in fear.
What?
Do they think I could spill some blood here?
After all I am still a child what can a child like me even do to them?
Camila took the clothes as she give some glance first, while her maid was looking at me with dismay.
"L-Lady Navia..."
The shop owner said as she was hesitating to approach me as she looks at me with those terrified eyes.
She give me some couple of designs from her collection, and when I chose my dress, Bisnna and I went back to mansion again.
-------------
"Where have you been this afternoon?"
I looked at the duke ask he was eating his dinner, he just came back from I don't know where.
"Bisnna and I went to look for dress."
I said as I looked at him, I still feel uncomfortable around him.
"You had many dresses in your room, what do you need one for?"
He said as he put down his utensils as he looked at me with those emotionless eyes.
"You already know that there are many people who were starving outside because of the draught last month."
He continued as he wiped side of his lips.
I never knew...
I wanted to voice out, but since he was here and seems to judge me already what's the use telling him ?
I sighed as I loose my appetite.
Who would like eating when all you can hear was him judging you without even asking your side?
"Are you done?"
He asked and I nodded silently.
I looked for Bisnna and saw that she wasn't there so, I walk straight to my room and there I saw her fixing my bed.
I looked around inside the rooom, the room screams luxury and so the house, but why this house is suffocating me?
Like I was in some kind of prison and has some chain on my neck.
Bisnna helps me on taking a bath and getting myself dress for sleeping.
I sighed as I lay down on the bed,
This bed is comfortable, and yet I can't relax.
I close my eyes, as I feel very drained.
I am alone in this world, and just like in the past I am still alone.
I had a family now, but I am unwanted by them.
I need to focus on how will I survive in this place without relying to someone.
I just wanted to live a longer life without getting taking advantage by people around me, all I need to now change my fate.
I just want to live a peaceful life in here, not as the villainess of this story who was painted as selfish and self-centered.
I looked at ceiling in my room in here as I closed my eyes and sighed deeply.
-----
I woke up in the morning as I could hear the birds chirping from the window.
"My Lady your bath is now ready."
Bisnna said as she looked at me while she was opening the curtains of my window.
I walked my way to the bath as Bisnna was assisting me.
"I can take care of myself."
I said as I looked at her, but just like the first time she assited me Bisnna refuses.
"You're still a child, My Lady."
Bisnna always said whenever I tried to protest at her.
I was used in past life that I had no one to rely, not even my brother who always extorts me with money as he was addicted to gambling and women that whenever I tried telling him to go find a work he will just beat me like what my co-workers always did whenever I tried telling them I won't do their jobs.
I was startled when Bisnna took my hair in her hand to put something on it.
The usual things happened after that she dresses me with the dress that we bought yesterday since Emily's birthday willl be today I bought some dresses along with my dress for the party.
Navia's dress were a little bit dark and to bright because of the designs on her gowns which is not so nice, If I remember it correctly.
Navia's dresses were supervise by her Auntie from her father's side, a distant relative to be exact who loves coming back and forth from their house.
After the incident with her teacher that time she can remember the real Navia's memory like they were her own to begin.
Bisnna and I went out from my room after we are done as she wanted me to eat breakfast, even though I didn't want too, but I don't have the heart to say No,
After all Bisnna was the only people who didn't tormented me, though every servants in the mansion didn't dare to defy me, but I could feel their aloofness towards me.
After I ate my breakfast I went to my class, since the teacher was the wife of a count who seems to be warm at me whenever she was teaching me, she didn't slap me, nor hit my hand for doing things I never did in the first place.
I stayed the whole day eating, and reading some books which is odd since I was used to have loads of works, but in here I never have any work except for learning, eating and sleeping.
The afternoon came Emily's birthday will be in the evening, my father said to a messenger who came this afternoon that he couldn't accompany me, but my older brother will do.
W-wait...
My brother has been staying in the border in the south and -
No... If I remember it correctly... Camila and Navia's brother will meet in this very even and so do Emily and---
This is a mess, my brother will fall in love with Camila, and Emily will meet Declan for the very first time, but I had long known that she had a feeling for my brother more on admiration, and in her party which she will meet him..
Emily will fall for him at such a young age.
No... I needed to saved them from their ill-fated fate.
I wanted to leave peacefully here, but I just can't stand, knowing what will happened to Navia's only real friend because of this sickening love pentagon?
Yeah, pentagon because there are five people involve.
Navia was in love with the prince, the prince was in love with his childhood friend Camila and sho was she, Declan was in love with Camila who didn't feel the same way, Emily was in love with Declan who never showed her any love.
What kind of situationship is this?
I needed to think of a way to distract Declan witthout disturbing the main leads here as I remember the prince will also attend the party with Camila.
I sighed at the thought as I look from far away and heard someone's coming.
I looked at the person who was coming and then-
