Below is the prof that I have the consent of the author to upload this novel here in NovelToon.

"So that's the end!" Rylie said closing the book she just published. "So? What's your favorite part?"

"Nothing. I hated it." I uttered. Probably because I can't even remember a scene from her book except for the part where Freya was killed and by that they lived happily ever after of some sort.

Her eyes widened in shock. "Girl! Appreciate me!" She exclaimed.

"Freya was just a victim, why did you made her look the villainess?" I questioned her.

She sighed. "Because I want to... I know she isn't but still she made the heroine suffer, so that makes her the Villainess." She explained which made me give her the look.

"Listen Rylie... She worked her ass off only for everything to get taken by some stupid bitch everyone barely knows." I stated my point.

She rolled her eyes. "Whatever, true she worked hard for it but doesn't mean she had to ruin someone elses life."

Im literally gonna beat her up, I took a deep breath before I start to state my point as well but I suddenly find it hard to breathe my chest started to ache as well.

As soon as she noticed she quickly ran out the room. "Nurse!!!" She yelled.

A few seconds later I felt sleepy and soon my sight started to blur and turn dark.

She opened her eyes meeting the gaze of a handsome man infront of her. She quickly sat up questioning who the man is.

"Freya, you're awake!" The man exclaimed hugging her.

Freya? Who's Freya? Before she could say anything to the man, the fancy door suddenly opened and a Tall, black haired man with dark brown eyes entered. Now who's this?

Where am I though? This is definitely not the hospital. The man who entered didn't seem to be glad to be in it, he looked rather forced.

"Who are you?" Finally she managed to say something.

The man gave her a confused look. " I'm your Fiancè, Zavier Beldevere, the crown prince of the Rhoden Empire. Have you forgotten?"

Zavier Beldevere, hmm... Seems familiar. She stared at the ceiling searching inside her head where she had heard that name.

A minute later, the light bulb was lit. It was the name of the Male Lead of her bestfriend's Novel.

Wait... Am I seriously in her novel? And I'm Freya?

Great.

She led out a smile to the Prince infront of her. "I'm sorry, how can I forget."

Looking unto the man who just entered she had a hint that it was Freya's brother, Felix Luem Yeovil.

In the Novel, Freya's brother Felix didn't like her, it was stated that he hated Freya for many reasons. That no matter how hard he tries their Father will always favor Freya. jealous àss.

"Brother?" She called unto her brother who just glared at her, which confirmed that it was indeed Felix.

When the Prince finally read the room, he turned to Freya. "Why don't you rest first?"

Upon hearing what the Prince said she found it great as she was indeed tired and wanted to get some sleep. "Alright."

The Prince tucked her in under the blanket not minding the people who are in the room.

It'll be fun being Freya. I will do my best to make great decisions and do the things I haven't done yet in my previous life!

The next day Freya decided to walk around the Duchy and tour herself for her to be familiar of the place.

Upon reaching the indoor garden she felt happy at least, it was a long time ago before she had taken a stroll as she was always stuck laying on her hospital bed.

"What's my dear sister doing in here, when she hated this garden the most?" A voice of a man said behind her which was clearly her brother.

She turned around to face him.

He was right, Freya of all people hated this specific garden. In this garden an unpleasant event happened in her childhood. I forgot she hated one specific garden but how am I suppose to know that?!

"Why does my brother care?" She responded with a blank expression.

"Now now, no need to be cranky, I was just curious on Father's little princess' unusual behavior." He said crossing his arms.

What am I suppose to say to this crappy guy?!... Im just gonna ignore him then.

Freya then walked towards the entrance of the garden where her brother is standing, she just walked passed to through him.

Walking around the halls made Freya ecstatic as she always wanted to feel like a princess. I wonder where the kitchen is?

After an hour or so of walking attempting to find the kitchen, Freya was already exhausted and hungry.

This place is so big, like, don't they get lost?! She looked around in need of help, as soon as she saw a maid in the distance her face brightened.

"You." She called unto the servant. "Bring me to the Kitchen." The servant led the way without saying a word. Have I scared her?

Freya got some quite of a reputation in the whole Empire to have great temper and a snob to people she dislikes, even though she was like that the crown prince still dealt with her as she was the most suitable candidate in the whole Empire.

Reaching the kitchen made the Lady smile so brightly that it made everyone in the kitchen look at her in disbelief.

"Please, cook me something delish." She said to the cook who's holding a spatula in one of his hands.

"Y-yes milady." The cook hastily rushed unto getting the Ingredients needed which bugged the Lady.

"Take your time, no need to rush." She added which made everyone shock.

Some servants started to murmur and it made Freya insane. She stood up making everyone flinched.

"Everyone, leave. Except for the cooks." She said in great authority and made all the other servants leave the Kitchen.

She sighed after settling down, taking deep breaths. She and Freya got this similarity but unlike the old Freya she does not throw a fit and throw things across the room, she may want to be cruel but only to those whom she dislikes in the Novel.

And they are; The crown Prince, Aurelia, the heroine, The ladies she forgot the names of and last but not the least, Felix, Freya's brother.

She swore that if they don't change or try to even go near her, she will be much much more cruel than the old Freya.

But for now, she is thinking of filling up her stomach with the food this great cooks are cooking.

The lady's eyes sparkled seeing the meal that was cooked specially for the lady.

"Thank you sooo much!" The lady said after holding the fork ready to take a bite of each and every food infront of her.

Everyone especially the cooks were a little bit worried that the lady might dislike their cooking, looking at the lady taking a piece of beaf into her mouth they closed their eyes.

"This is..... The best!! Great job everyone!" Freya said appreciating the cooks.

Everyone cheered on as to finally the lady enjoyed their cooking, it had never happened before.

"Please cook for me often now." She said looking like a child who ate food after a week or so.

"Yes, we will milady!"

Freya sat down on a table in the balcony of her chamber drinking tea, she felt like somethings missing.

Then she finally got it, she was missing a Lady-in-waiting. She wondered why the lady does not have a Lady-in-waiting.

Then she remembered that in the Novel the old Freya refused to have a Lady-in-waiting as she found it annoying to have someone follow her around.

She's stupid, ladys-in-waiting have its benefits, But what do I expect. She stood up and went to find the Duke's Office to ask for a lady in waiting.

Now which way. The lady wandered around hoping to find where the Duke is, she walked passed by the training grounds where she saw her Brother bleeding, still pushing to fight the Head Knight.

She hid behind a bush spying. Does this always happen to him? It wasn't mentioned in the Novel about her brother Felix's experiences.

"Hahaha! I expected a lot from the Duke's heir, until now you haven't even improved a single bit." The Chief of their Knights laughed as he insulted Felix.

Freya's hands formed into a fist as she was fuming with anger ang frustrations. She couldn't just hide behind this bush, seeing someone getting berrated.

Felix didn't reply to the chief instead he lunge at him full force. In that situation Freya thought of saving her brother but she held back as she hoped that her brother shall take his revenge on his own.

But just one kick from the chief her brother was on the ground looking helpless.

Should I help him? Not that I can do anything if a sword was on his throat. The chief pointed his sword at her Brother, She rushed to help his brother who's laying on the Ground helplessly.

"Who do you think you are?" She yelled to the Head chief looking at it with much hatred.

"Oh look, it's the little princess." The Chief whispered to Felix which Freya heard was offended by what the chief said, it made her grab the sword near her and pointed it at him.

"I would appreciate it if you stop pointing your sword at my Brother." Deep inside Freya was shaking, she knew that the Head Chief could easily pin her down if he wishes to.

The Head chief glared at her before dropping his sword to the side, Freya felt relieved.

"Listen Princess, this is part of your brother's training, will you please let us be." He said in a pleasing voice.

Everyone knows how the Duke himself values and loves Freya, they wouldn't dare make her mad.

The Duke is a very powerful man, as he is the Head Chief of the Empire's Knights.

Freya grew tense, seriously he thinks I don't know?

"Does the Head Chief thinks Im stupid?" Freya helped her brother get up, putting half of her brother's weight unto her so they could leave.

"Head Chief." She called. "Please watch your words because next time I'll make sure you won't be able to talk anymore." She said glaring at the Head Chief before they left.

Felix never said a word to Freya even after they received help from the servants around the Ducal.

"Get my brother a Doctor, now." She ordered to the a servant.

When her brother was on his bed groaning in pain she sat next to him, none of them said a single word out.

Really? He isn't going to say 'thanks for saving me' Freya is upset because her brother didn't acknowledged her. He could've just made me leave earlier.

After the doctor treated his wounds they were left in the room, Felix looked at his sister who's frowning with her arms crossed.

Why did she saved me? Did I looked so helpless there? Felix questioned his sister's action earlier as he knew his sister would never do such a thing, or so he thought.

He was hesitant to even look at his own sister in the eyes. He never knew he would utter the words 'thank you' to his sister whom he hated his entire life.

"Freya" He called unto his sister.

"What?" She said looking like she's expecting something out of his brother's mouth.

"I-" He sighed. "Thank you, but your help was unnecessary."

Freya's left eye started twitching feeling annoyed and disappointed at his brother, I definitely hate him.

Freya stood up and whispered. "So ungrateful." Before leaving her Brother's chamber.

Felix hated his own sister for the reason that she is their Father's favorite, Felix does not want the favorite title for himself he just wants their Father, the Duke, to acknowledge him.

After Freya's suffering in walking she finally found the Duke's office, hoping to see the Duke.

She knocked and the Door opened immediately, a man opened the door. Freya is very excited to get to see how the other characters look.

The man had ginger hair with hazel eyes, he smiled brightly at the Lady. At that moment Freya knew who he was, he's Theodore Shapiro, a loyal servant of the Duke.

"Sir it's Lady Freya "

"Let her in." She heard to what seemed to be her Father's voice.

After she entered the office, he saw her father on a large desk wearing reading glasses. Just like Felix's appearance, the Duke also had Black hair and dark gray eyes instead of Dark Brown.

Freya couldn't help but appreciate her Father's still looking young despite the age of around 40 unlike other men. Giving me daddy vibes, probably because he is my Father now.

The Duke finally lifted his head and looked at Freya. "Is there something that you need?"

Freya came back to her senses as soon as the Duke spoke. "I wanted to ask for a Lady-in-waiting Father."

The Duke showed a confused and rather slightly shock face.

"Why is that you want a Lady-in-waiting now?" The Duke Questioned.

Can't he just give me one already?

"I... I'm very lonely Father."
