Let's get startedddd
The cold breeze caresses Diona's face
Diona
*did i forget to close the window?*
Diona
*Wait! How am i thinking? Aren't i dead? Or was it a dream?*
She slowly opens her eyes to an odd but familiar looking old clock
She looks around and is flabbergasted to see a room that looks like it came directly out of a historical novel.
Diona
What kind of dream is this? I need to wake up and find Cal. I can't let him die because of me!
Servant
Lady Diona! I must inform master that you are awake!
Servant
Pardon me but im not quite sure who you're referring to...
Diona felt a little dizzy
Diona
Cal! I'm talking about Cal! My husband!
Servant
MASTER!! SOMETHING HAPPENED TO LADY DIONA!
And he stormed out of the room leaving Diona all alone with her thoughts
Diona
Have I finally gone insane?
Diona
What do you mean he's alright? He is clearly struggling to breathe. Do you not see him suffering?
Janice
Why are you so worried about him, Diona? Its not like you love him. Or have you fallen for this man?
Janice
This is not the Diona i grew up with
Diona
Jane, it doesn't matter if I love him or not! What matters is keeping him alive.
Janice
He'll be alright. Focus on yourself, it hurts to even look at you nowadays.
Janice checked Cal's temperature and left the room
Diona sat on the couch with a novel
After reading for a few minutes, she fell asleep
Diona woke up to a loud sound of someone trying to break the room's door. She looked at Cal, who was already looking at her.
Diona
Who do you think it is?
But before she could open the door, the person broke the door and filled the room with gas
Both Cal and Diona started coughing and eventually passed out
Mrs. Hans
HOW IS DIONA? ANSWER ME!
Janice
She's sleeping, Aunty. She'll be fine.
Mrs. Hans
AND CAL? HOW IS HE?
Marcus
I'm sorry Mrs. Hans.
Janice
He was taken out of the hospital to bury by his family.
Diona heard it all but she couldn't open her eyes
Diona
*No it cant be... Cal can't die.. NO!*
Marcus
Did they catch the intruder?
Mrs. Hans
Its wasn't an intruder. It was Lance.
Mrs. Hans
He said that he couldn't stand to see Diona living that life
Diona opened her eyes and got up from her bed
Everyone was shocked to see her running
She ran straight out of the hospital to find Cal
But just as she ran into the street, a truck hit her.
Leaving her lifeless body red with blood.
Episode 2
Diona doesn't remember anything of what happened after. Besides the fact that she is indeed not dreaming.
Diona
Have i been so hard on myself these past 7 years that i have developed such mental disorders?
Count Ruths
So, you are awake.
Diona stopped herself from finishing her sentence
Diona
*lets go with the flow*
Count Ruths
The grand duke is waiting for us in the hall. Get dressed and come downstairs.
Diona looks at him dumbfounded
Diona
*What in the historical manhwa is this man talking*
Count Ruths glares at her
Diona has no idea what is to happen to her but she jumps out of the bed and stands up.
A young girl dressed in a beige dress with an apron walks up to her and bows
Count Ruths
Be downstairs in 5 minutes
Count Ruths leaves the room
Ella
Which dress would you like to wear, my lady?
Diona
Excuse me, who are you talking to?
Ella
I am talking to my lady, my lady.
Diona
*Am i seriously reincarnated or something??? *
Diona
*But why is my name still Diona? *
Diona
Ah, yes. Which ever you choose, i guess.
Diona held her head with her hands
But she remembers something
Diona
*If i was reincarnated into a novel when i died, is Cal here too?*
Diona
Or am i hoping for too much?
Diona didn't realise that she said it out loud
Diona
Do you know someone named Cal here?
Diona crosses her fingers and hopes for the best.
Ella
Cal? I don't think so, my lady.
Diona's hopes shatters into pieces
Diona doesn't quite hear her
Ella
By Cal, you don't mean Duke Callahan. Do you?
Diona's eyes widens. She hardly manages herself from losing her balance and falling face first into the floor
She knows who Duke Callahan is.
Draft
Diona stared at her own image in the mirror
Diona
*I look the same.... but more alive*
Ella
You are ready to go, my lady.
Diona walks out of her room to go downstairs. Her palms start sweating more with every step she takes. She is nervous.
But she is also reminded of what happened a few minutes before
Diona
Isn't Duke Callahan the Grand Duke's son?
Ella
That's right my lady.
Ella
That is why the Grand Duke is here today
Diona
What do you mean by "that is why" ?
Ella
To discuss your transfer to the Royal Palace.
Ella
Do you not remember anything, my lady? I guess it will take time since you badly hurt your head.
Diona does not pay any attention to what Ella says
Diona
*Duke Callahan, the Grand Duke's son, transfer to the Royal Palace... all this means that... *
Diona
*I was reincarnated into "Reviving My Husband"*
Diona
*And, I am Diona Ruths*
Diona
*That explains why I'm still Diona*
She is Diona Ruths, the daughter of Count Raphael Ruths and Countess Ruths.
But well not a biological daughter of the count.
Diona
*And so is Cal. Could he be Duke Callahan?*
Ella
Shall i get you ready, my lady?
Diona snaps out of her thoughts
Diona hears firm voices coming from downstairs.
She is accompanied by nobody as she walks down the stairs. Because no servants or any other workers could listen to whatever conversation they are about to have.
Diona trembles under her dress
But manages to bow to a man who looked less like a grand duke and more like a president of the United States.
Diona
*This must be the grand duke*
There was another man sitting beside the him.
Diona
*His right hand man, Carlen*
Carlen
She looks very much like you, Count Ruths.
Diona stopped a chuckle from leaving her mouth.
Diona
*How can one look like her step father*
Grand Duke Vascov
So, Diona, you've grown up quite a lot.
Diona felt a cold shiver down her spine
Diona
*He may not look like it but he is The grand duke*
Carlen
Its not like she can just not grow up with time.
Carlen laughed at his own joke
Carlen is the Grand Duke's right hand man. They have known each other since their childhood. Because Carlen's father was the butler of the Vascov house when the Grand Duke's father was alive.
Diona looks at Count Ruths to make sure that she addressed him correctly
The Count was busy talking with Carlen
Diona
*Right... I can't rely on anyone here "
Count Ruths
Right, Your grace. You should have brought Callahan as well.
Count Ruths
Delilah has been waiting to hear from him.
Diona almost fell off her seat.
Because she had forgotten that Count Ruths' second daughter, Delilah Ruths was engaged to Callahan Vascov.
