Chapter 3 - Beauty behind the reflection


    It has only been 4 hours since I woke up in her body and no one suspected anything off with her


    behaviour..................


    I think.


    My intention is not to get involved with the characters especially with Ariana and Damon, the two love


    birds who will be my end if interfere.


    I don''t n on staying here either., Daisuke is waiting for me to return and no one is going to get in my


    Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    way because if they do thest thing they will see is a knife through their throats.


    I''m definitely going to get home and out from this novel world.


    My n is to leave this ce before my execution that will ur in 3 months, find a powerful mage


    who is able to take me back to my world, ''the real world''. I will be able to leave this ce and go back


    to my brother''s side.


    Daisuke wait for me, I''ming.


    My thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door.


    "Come in" I answered in a bored tone, still ncing at garden.


    The door creaked open and the maids from this morning stepped in. Lilly the girl with the brown haired


    tied in a ponytail, Ste the ck-haired girl whose hair is tied in a it. They both had brown eyes,


    small figures but Lilly was a slight taller. Her face was covered in freckles and Ste had a mole under


    her chin and both have average faces and they looked like they are in their early 20s.


    Lilly and Ste are one of the reason to why she was executed. They both betray Diana from the very


    beginning of the story. The gossips and rumours of Diana were started by those two and she was too


    na?ˉve to think it was Lilly and Ste.


    It was those two who snitched to Damon about the cruel things she did to Ariana and that is a part of


    the reason to why she was executed. Diana believed that they were on her side the whole time they


    served her until the very end when she locked her icy blue eyes with them. Their devilish grins across


    their faces as they giggled behind their hands. Diana cursed them before herst breath was taken by


    a de.


    What a pity, even your maids were stool pigeons and you were too blind to see.


    ''Heh''. An evil grin crossed my face. ''but I''m not the foolish Diana you know''


    They bowed when they entered Diana''s massive and extravagant room but I paid no mind to them and


    continued to look outside the window.


    "Mydy your bath is ready" Lilly said with meek andzy voice. Her head was down the hall time she


    entered. In response I hummedzily as I got up from myfy chair. "Your ball gown has arrived as


    well mydy. Just like you asked".


    "ball gown huh" mumbling those words, the scene of Diana''s humiliation at the party in the novel and a


    major plot that would ur tonight, appeared in my mind.


    She was humiliated in front of the 3 kingdoms of Alphyria then to have her engagement with the Prince


    annulled. This outraged Diana, imposing her to p her sister using Ariana for seducing her


    fianc?? in front of the crowd making a huge scene. The emperor, Lyte Aurum, had  enough of her


    arrogant behaviour.


    She was sent to prison by the order of his majesty for the night due to harming the love of his son and


    ruining Damon''s birthday banquet.


    When she was released the next morning, Diana was the talk of the town. Wherever she went the


    whispers didn''t leave her ears.


    "Is there something the matter mydy?" I gave Lilly a side look, whose brown eyes darted right back


    at me with confusion. Something about her makes me want to p her face that even her crooked


    tooth would p back into ce.


    "Nothing"


    I bathed in the warm petal filled tub with refreshing rose scented steam. I sunk my head lower into the


    bath blowing into the water making bubbles rise to the surface.


    It''s a nice feeling but I miss my bubbly baths though. The foaming surface of the warm water and the


    fragrance of the soap. What I will give to be in that situation right now.


    On the first day of reincarnating into Diana''s life, it''s the crowns prince banquet. The ce where


    Ariana and Damon have their first dance together sparking their love before he dered annulment of


    his and Diana''s engagement.


    I don''t know how long I was in the bath when Lilly walked in with folded towels. "My Lady it''s time to get


    ready. The carriage would be here in 4 hours".


    I cringed from the words that escaped her mouth. How long does it take to get ready in the ancient


    times? Thest I was getting ready for a party for a mission with Daisuke, it only took me an hour and


    30 minutes.


    I rose up from the bathtub, water sliding down my skin and sshing back in the tub full of warm water.


    Looking down I saw my reflection, white fair skin so smooth and delicate, icy blue eyes that will freeze


    any heart and silver white hair to match with her eyes. The beauty to outshine all. Just like it described


    in the novel.


    Diana you''re a beauty but a shame no one sees through your horrid personality to see it.


    I stepped out of the tub and walked away, with a every step leaving behind wet footprint on the wooden


    floor. I brushed past her taking the towel from her hands without even looking at her.


    I gazed in the mirror at my reflection while Lily and Ste styled my beautiful locks of silver hair. "Wow


    mydy, your so beautiful" Lilly said trying to lighten the awkward atmosphere between us before


    tucking away thest lock.


    "Mm" I hummed in a bored expression. I''m not stupid. I know you''re trying to tter me so you could be


    on my good side the same tactic you used on Diana the past 10 years you served her, gritting your


    teeth quietly wishing you served Ariana instead.


    I stared at my reflection in the mirror in front of me. Those wistful blue eyes staring right back at me


    admiring the beauty she possessed.


    I looked at myself then to my hair. It was styled in a half braided ponytail with strands of wavy silver


    locks dangling down my sides.


    I turned my head to the side to admire the back of my hair, wavy silver hair pinned together with a navy


    blue crystal floral hairb adjusted to the middle to go with my navy blue ball gown. They did a great


    job with the hair but it''s a shame they won''t be doing such thing sin the future.


    I stood up from my dressing stool and carefully made my way over to the tall mirror beside my vanity


    desk, trying not to trip over thece. This dress was so hard to walk in and the corset is so tight I feel


    like my lungs are going to burst. I felt like i was walking around like a disabled penguin.


    I scanned the dress I wore. My first impression on the dress is....... ''Hideous. Just hideous. What kind


    of style did you have Diana? It''s like a whole pile of shit thrown together into one to make a whole pile


    of dump.''


    The skirt of the gown had white floral patterns embroidered with beads within theces of the skirt to


    the waist then corset then to the hoop. Bows and ribbons were sewed around it to make loops in every


    side of the skirt. There seemed to be hundreds ofyers sewed on the skirt, the sleeves were puffy,


    ugly and hot. And what is with the bow in the middle of my chest.


    I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed in annoyance. It''s either her sense of style is horrible or the


    designs in this world is horrible.


    I may not be a fashion designer or have an idea about it but my mother was a fashion designer. She


    wasn''t famous however her work was bing well known around Japan. I learnt a few fashion tips


    and other things rting to clothes, so I know quite a little bit about fashion. Looking at this


    overwhelming gown of shit, I''m having second thoughts of walking into the ball dressing like Lady Gaga


    in the 18th century.


    "My, what a stunning dress you chosen for the crown''s princes banquet, my Lady. I''m sure he will love


    to see you dressed so beautifully" Lilly spoke trying to enlighten me with her sweet ttering words


    thrown at me. ''Yeah what a beautiful dress this is, mind telling me who made it so I can praise them for


    their awful dress designing''  I rolled my eyes at my thoughts.


    "Mydy is there something wrong with the dress? Is it not to your liking" Ste asked as she observed


    my expression, she was quite offended from my eye roll but tried to hide from yet i could see right


    through. Looking at her from the reflection of the mirror, she was standing beside Lilly like a child


    attached to her mother.


    "Ste how long time do we have left before the carriages arrive?"


    Ste and Lilly gave each other looks of confusion.


    "the carriages don''t arrive until the sun sets and it''s not half way yet but since you ordered to arrive


    early at the ball your carriage will arrive probably around this time"


    I sweat dropped staring at them with deadpalmed expression. ''On what level of obsessed are you on,


    Diana, to see your lovey dovey Prince so early on his birthday party.''


    I stared at my dress in mirror again, titling my head as i observed what i was going to do.


    "I don''t have time to get a new dress but if I mend it a little to my liking it might work however with


    limited time I have, I don''t think I could get it done by the time the carriages arrive" I mumbled to


    myself.


    "What was that my Lady?" I looked over to where they were standing side by side each other, looking


    at me with confusion written all over their average looking faces and that''s when an idea sparked in my


    mind. I grinned.


    ''Heh guess you guys are pretty useful to me. Maybe I can keep you until I satisfy myself with your help


    then kill you in the end and make it look like an ident.''


    "Lilly get me scissors. Ste get me the sewing kit." They flinched from my sudden bark of orders.


    Crossing my hands and arching my eyebrow up, I red at them making them shiver in terror. "What


    are you standing around for. I don''t have all day" I said coldly.


    They quickly gave each horrified looks before bowing quickly and running off.


    Ste and Lily be prepared to feel my wrath.
