Check
Currently, I am walking back after I buried the kittens' bodies and threw away the trash.
'Once again thank you god for not letting me meet anyone who knows Jenny'
I walked into the apartment with various questions in my mind
I looked around…
'It's almost 6 in the evening, a five-minute break won't hurt…ill arrange everything later'
I sat down on the couch, now that I am alone..
*Note to readers, the whole thing is just her talking to herself*
"I can finally voice my thoughts out loud!!"
"First question, how did this happen???....more like why did this happen"
I took a random notebook that was lying around and started scribbling
"If my soul is in Jenny….where is Jenny?"
There were a few possibilities
"1. Jenny soul is inside me
2. Jenny and my soul merged
I saved the worst for last
3. Our soul swapped…if so,
I feel bad for Jenny, good luck to her for dealing with my terrible family and Scandalus reputation and not to mention she knows no etiquette! Surviving that place without etiquette??? Those greedy nobles will rip her apart"
"Dear moon goddess, bless her with my muscle memory and my memories"
And the last question of the day
"Why am I here?"
*sigh*
Let's get back to cleaning!
I went to her bedroom. I needed to start the real cleaning from there
The moment I walked in, the first thing I noticed was a misaligned Pink book tossed onto her bed.
The book really looked out of place in the worn-out, colourless, dead apartment of hers…
I ignored it and started cleaning. There was nothing much to clean in this room either way…
Still, the book bugged me, so I took it with me and set it down on the dining table I had already cleaned
I started wiping the windows clean until they shone…
It was hard at first, being the duke's daughter, I never did such work..but back in the mental clinic, I was punished for all sorts of things…i had to clean up after I ate (which was new for me), walk in lines for food…it was all new, but the harsh handling I received from the nurses in the clinic taught me one thing: as long as I am powerless….I don't get to yell
'Phew….father would shit his pants if he saw me right now!'
By night I was exhausted…my stomach started crying long, long ago…
But my body was filthy..
'I'll eat after i cleaned up!
I took a 1-hour-long bath….or that was my plan at least!
I stepped into the shower and realised there was no bathtub here, still I turned on the shower and let the water run down
'Such ways, back in Asteria, rooms were illuminated with magic; here, according to Jenny's memories, they ran on electricity, then the water....'
I let my thoughts run wild….but as soon as my mind was calming down and I realised
'i can't use water like this, I will have to pay the water bills! Shit'
I immediately got dressed and walked out….
There was a packet of instant ramen on the kitchen counter top
'This house had a one room a, cramped living room, a small balcony, a bathroom and a kitchen attached to the living room…really i never thought i'll get to live a life like this'
I lit the stove and cooked the ramen…
After a few minutes i sat down and ate…finally i decided to go and sleep
But that pink book still bugged me..
'Reall Illiana? You are exhausted, what can't we just go to sleep??'
I stubbornly lay there for a few minutes
'Ughhhhhh…. Fuck this'
The time was 12: 30 in night….or like morning…. whatever!
I picked up that pick book from the dining table,
Milly went to sleep after I fed her some of the Pedigree (for cats)I had here. I was happy that it had not expired
(although I had to throw away her cushion, but it was beyond recovery, looks like i'll have to buy newones!)
"Kingdom of Devotion"
'What kinda name was that??'
Regardless i opened the book and read it
"For every saintess who unknowingly awakened a prince's hunger."
'What the fuck?'
