...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Aisha Steiner was the youngest daughter of the Steiner Counts. She was charismatic and noble, loved by everyone. At home, her parents were proud of her, as her mother strove to give her the best education, just like her sister, although the latter didn't love her. On the contrary, Briana Steiner envied her younger sister, Aisha. Since they both became aware, Briana began to feel jealous of Aisha because she was loved by everyone. But the main reason she hated her the most was that Aisha was chosen by the young Duke's father, Oscar Gutman, to be Oscar's betrothed. And of course, Oscar was enchanted with Aisha when he saw her at her debut and didn't hesitate to dance with her, while Briana didn't have that same "honor" when she debuted a year earlier.
Seeing that her younger sister was happy with the man she loved, she devised a plan, one that went perfectly well. One night, during a party, she lured Oscar to a secluded room, assuring him that Aisha was in trouble. As soon as they entered the room, it was filled with an aphrodisiac essence, and the next day, Briana and Oscar were found together. This devastated Aisha to learn that her fiance had been with her sister, and although he swore it was all a misunderstanding, Aisha refused to believe him. Oscar knew perfectly well how Briana was with her and all the evil things she had done to her, yet he dared to be alone with Briana to the point of spending the night with her.
Due to this event, Oscar was forced to establish an engagement with Briana, as he had tarnished her reputation by taking her virtue. The Counts lamented the event, but they couldn't do anything. Briana could become pregnant and needed to marry the one she had spent the night with.
The engagement party took place. Briana was happy; she had taken the man Aisha loved. This event was known throughout the kingdom, as everyone knew that the engagement had been agreed upon between Aisha and Oscar, but suddenly, it was Briana who would marry Oscar.
Knowing that Aisha was the betrothed and that suddenly Briana would marry Oscar, people started talking, until the information leaked and all of society knew about it. Briana had been with her younger sister's fiance, and to cover up her dirty trick, Oscar was being forced to marry Briana.
This caused Briana not to enjoy her happiness because she was seen in society as a "whore" who had been with her younger sister's fiance, and they called her envious and an upstart. Meanwhile, everyone felt sympathy for Aisha.
Aisha, oblivious to what was happening, had left the kingdom. She went to the countryside with her grandmother, who was furious about what Briana had done. There, Aisha meets Helios, a dark elf, an attractive man who, through living with Aisha, falls in love with her, and Aisha wasn't indifferent to him. However, before a relationship could develop between them, Oscar arrives looking for Aisha, seeking her forgiveness, assuring her that even though he knew Briana was malicious, he fell into her trap because he was worried that Aisha was really in trouble.
Aisha didn't want to accept his forgiveness. Besides, Oscar was engaged to Briana, who was quick to get angry when she learned that Oscar had gone for Aisha.
Briana devises plans in which she wished to kidnap Aisha and let her be sold as a slave. Meanwhile, Helios watched as Aisha and Oscar's relationship flourished again, causing jealousy in him. Unable to bear it, he begs Aisha to choose him, because he would never betray her. But Aisha rejects him, accepting that the one she really loves is Oscar, so Helios simply withdraws with a broken heart.
While Aisha and Oscar are returning to the kingdom to confront Briana, they are attacked by bandits, and Aisha is kidnapped. Oscar seeks Helios's help to rescue Aisha, and Helios doesn't hesitate to help him. After some difficulties, they manage to save Aisha, and upon returning to the kingdom, they find evidence that it was Briana who sent the bandits. Briana is condemned, Helios returns to his home, while Aisha and Oscar finally have their happy ending by getting married, having their children, and becoming the new dukes.
And now, there she was, Felisa, who, without knowing how she had gotten into this situation, had now woken up in the body of Aisha, the protagonist whom she hated because she ended up with the man who let himself be deceived by her sister. While he acted under the influence of the aphrodisiac, he knew perfectly well that Briana was not a good person. Aisha had told him the evils that Briana did to her, and he himself had witnessed how she treated Aisha, and yet, he followed her without questioning. He could have gone to Aisha's parents to tell them that Briana had told him that she was in danger and then go together to help her, but no, he stupidly ran after Briana.
Meanwhile, Helios was different. When he meets Briana and she tries to make Aisha look bad in front of him, Helios reproaches her, letting her know that he knows perfectly well that she was envious, and that because of that, she will never be happy, because she may marry Oscar, but she will live knowing that Oscar only touched her because he took advantage of a drug, and that was not love, it was the act of a desperate and begging woman.
Without a doubt, Helios was the one who really deserved to be loved, but no, stupid Aisha chose Oscar.
Upon waking up for the first time in that strange place, she was confused. She didn't know how she had gotten to that room, which was obviously not the hospital room. The last thing she remembers is crossing the street and seeing a pair of lights that blinded her. She stood up looking for the bathroom, and when she entered it, she was impressed by how huge it was, so she approached the mirror, noticing that that face was not hers, which scared her a lot.
Could it be that her face was so unrecognizable that they had to do extreme plastic surgery? What was happening? Suddenly, a headache attacked her, and she saw her life pass by, mixing with the memories of that body. Little by little, everything became clear, and she realized that she had reincarnated into Aisha Steiner, the stupid and weak protagonist of the novel she hated the most.
"Don't fuck with me..." she shouts as she looks in the mirror, pulling her hair.
She really looks like a protagonist of an old novel, with a cute and angelic face, brown hair, and blue eyes, with that childish touch. That appearance, although it was cute, she didn't like it. She hates the idea of looking like a childish girl.
Aisha returned to the room and sat on the bed while she thought a bit. She needed to remember at what point in the story she was now. Her thoughts are interrupted when the door opens. It was an older maid who smiles when she sees her.
"Miss, you're awake..." she peeks into the door. "My lady, the Miss has awakened."
Aisha didn't have time to say anything, as suddenly her alcove was invaded by an older woman, her maids, a somewhat chubby but charismatic-looking man, all happy that she had awakened.
•••
Apparently, Aisha fell off the horse during a riding lesson. Of course, Briana was present, and suddenly, the horse got spooked and threw her, causing her to be unconscious for an entire afternoon and night.
The counts were happy to see her awake, but they didn't even suspect that it was their eldest daughter who caused the accident to their younger daughter and that, because of their daughter, she probably died and that is why she was now in that body.
The doctor arrived to examine the girl and apparently everything was fine. He asked her questions about her name, her age, the date, and so on. Luckily, she has all the memories of the real Aisha, so she answered everything correctly.
"Thank the gods my child is well, thank you doctor," the countess says excitedly.
The count leaves with the doctor, while the countess stays in the room, tidying up, while telling Aisha that to celebrate that she woke up and was well, she would have a dinner prepared with her favorite dishes.
"Mother, I don't want anything... can I be alone?" she asks.
"Alone? Are you sure? I thought you would be happy to eat something delicious," the countess worries.
"I will be, but for now I want to rest, I feel my body tired, maybe from the blow..."
"Oh, alright, if that's what you want, let's leave the dinner for tomorrow. I'll have them bring you soup later and the medicine the doctor left," the countess replies.
"Yes, I appreciate it, Mother," she lies down again.
The countess closes the curtains and turns off the lights, closing the door as she leaves. Seeing that she has left, Aisha gets up to go to the bathroom and wash her face. She needed to think about what to do with her life now because she definitely doesn't plan to follow the story. Or maybe she should let it advance until the moment she leaves with her grandmother? Once that happens, she can start changing everything, go on a trip, and that way when Oscar goes looking for her, he won't find her. She must also prepare to survive in that world full of dangers.
During the night, a maid had gone to leave her dinner and gave her a letter, which the maid said came from the Gutman duchy.
"The young duke must be worried about you," the maid comments.
"If I were worried about someone, I would go see them the same day of the accident and not send a letter. How would I read it if I hadn't woken up yet?" she claims.
How absurd, wasn't he so in love with Aisha? And he can't even show his face, anyway. Aisha just threw the letter aside and sat down to eat, while the maid was surprised to see that the girl didn't even bother to read the letter when before, she was excited to receive one.
"Are you feeling well, Miss? If you like, I can tell your mother to call the doctor."
"I'm fine, I'm just hungry," and she doesn't plan to waste that delicious dinner.
The maid retires and says that she will return in an hour to remove everything and prepare her bath.
.
.
.
The next day, upon waking up, the maids help her bathe and dress. After finishing, she was guided to the dining room where her parents were already waiting for her to have breakfast, but, upon entering, there was one more presence, a young woman of elegant appearance, she was beautiful and with hair similar to hers, she looked at her with contempt.
"Oh, wow, little sister, I see you finished your show to gain pity," she expresses with disdain.
"Oh, wow, sister, I see you're still bitter," she replies with a sly smile.
The counts are surprised by her response, since Aisha has never done it before. Briana frowns, but before she can say anything to defend herself, the countess asks them not to argue.
"Mother, you know very well that my sister is the one who starts it. I think her etiquette classes aren't working," Aisha expresses calmly.
"What are you saying? The only one who needs manners is you," Briana replies angrily.
"And anger management, are there teachers for that?" she asks.
"Enough you two, I want to have breakfast without hearing my daughters attacking each other," orders the count.
Briana lowers her gaze at her father's scolding, while Aisha just continues to enjoy her breakfast. After finishing, the countess walks with her daughters to a room, where their teachers are already waiting for them. The two had the same classes, although, this time, Aisha seemed so disinterested in everything, contrary to what she usually is, since she is always attentive to learn.
"What's wrong, Aisha? You seem very distracted," the countess asks.
"I just don't feel able to concentrate, maybe it's still from the blow from the fall," she complains.
"It could be, go rest for today," the countess asks her.
Faced with this, Briana is quick to complain because Aisha is being privileged, but the countess scolds her for not being considerate of her younger sister.
Aisha for her part went through the library, because she remembered that in that place there was something special, and that was the use of magic by forming a contract with a magical beast. Before Aisha didn't have the interest to learn magic, even when her father came from a family with an excellent level of mana. She will read everything about magic, so when she leaves with her grandmother, she can start practicing.
Arriving at her room with the books, she left them aside, to review the notebook where the night before she wrote down some events of the story, and, she knows that soon, will be her debut in society, because she is already 18, yes, in that world, they debut at 18 and not at 15 or 16 as it usually is. And it is that in the kingdom, there is the rule that women can present themselves in society, ready for marriage and although their families already have a marriage pact, it becomes official after their debut.
Everything was so complicated in that kind of era, but at least, she is not a 15-year-old little girl who is being presented as a steak to all the men.
"Are you really planning to read all that, Miss?" asks the maid when she sees her passing with so many books.
"Yes Marcela, I will read everything, I want to know more about magic." Arriving at her bedroom she leaves all the books on the floor near her bed.
"Magic? You never paid attention to that before," comments Marcela.
"It's never too late to be interested. Come on, can you bring me snacks and juice?" she asks.
"Of course, Miss. I'll be right back."
The maid leaves the room to bring what the young woman asked for. Aisha checks the books, which explains that to use magic, they must invoke a magic beast, with whom the contract is made, each beast has a special power, there is from healing magic, as well as fire, water and so on. The beasts can be from a small being to a huge beast.
"This is interesting, I need to practice as soon as I leave this place," she murmurs excitedly.
The days went by, Aisha adapted to this new life, and although she had not debuted, her mother took her to tea parties, although for this new Aisha, listening to gossip where they only criticize other women was boring, can't they talk about a more important topic? Even her mother joined in on the gossip and surely when she wasn't around, they also talked behind her back.
Aisha went in search of a snack, but a small group of girls accompanied by Briana approached to surround her, what was a bad day, had become worse.
"I heard that Miss Aisha had a hair fall, I thought she was perfect in everything." One mocks.
"I was already quite an expert in riding since I was fourteen." Another presumes.
"That explains why you have three children with different fathers, you love to ride." Aisha replies.
But those who heard her immediately began to murmur, because nobody knew that girl had children, although of course, it was not true, but apparently it was easy to make others believe in something.
"How indecent."
"Children? And her mother brags that she is a decent lady."
"What a shame, three children and with three different men, what a slut."
"They shouldn't let that kind of shameless woman pass."
The criticisms did not stop, causing that girl to leave crying and her friends after her, Briana who had stayed, observes Aisha with anger.
"What? Next time, I'll say something about you..." she whispers.
"Y-you..."
Aisha only takes a plate with snacks and walks away from the place, she doesn't need that Oscar to defend her. Briana follows her and when she notices that nobody was close, she takes the opportunity to push Aisha, but she dodges it causing Brian to stumble and fall right into a small lake.
"Help! My sister fell into the lake!" Aisha shouts.
The brunette approaches Briana to grab her hair and pulls hard trying to get her out of the water, Briana screams in pain from those tugs until the other women and some guards arrive who help Briana out, since, by herself it was difficult to get out due to the heaviness of the dress.
"She pushed." Briana points to Aisha. "She wanted to kill me."
"Briana! How can you accuse your sister like that?" The countess shouts.
"Sister... why do you blame me? If I wanted to do something so horrible I wouldn't have asked for help." She expresses sadly.
Aisha covers her face with both hands pretending to sob, and is consoled by other girls, who accuse Briana of maliciousness, for blaming the one who has saved her life. The countess also calls Briana's attention for wanting to blame Aisha, who not only asked for help, tried to help her while help arrived.
"Mother, she almost tore my hair out, she did it out of pure malice." Briana complains.
"Enough, no matter how, she kept you afloat while the guards arrived." She holds her arm. "We're leaving, at home we have to talk about that way you always want to bother your sister."
The countess apologizes because they must return home, she drags Briana followed by Aisha who asks not to scold her sister, that perhaps she only acts like that because of the excitement of the moment.
"Miss Aisha is so good, asking in favor of her sister after what she said..."
"I couldn't, I'd be very angry."
"Miss Briana should be grateful that she has such a good sister."
"The countess has so much patience with her, I would have already sent her to the convent so she can learn what education is."
Everyone continued talking about that incident, in which in the eyes of all those present, Aisha was brave to save her sister.
In the mansion, Briana receives the scolding of the countess and as punishment, this month she will not have her allowance, because she must learn not to be acting with malice against her younger sister.
"I don't know why you're like this, both of you receive the same, attention, affection and luxuries. Even if you don't get along with Aisha, at least avoid causing her problems." The countess scolds her.
"It's not true, since she was born, I'm less in this family, they always take her side." She claims.
"And what did you expect if you are the one who hurts her? If Aisha did the same to you, she would also have her punishment." The countess replies.
"It's not true, just now she threw me into the lake and I've been punished." She expresses angrily.
"Enough Briana, I'll let your father know this, your tantrums are getting worse every day." The countess orders the maids to close the door.
Briana complains when she is locked up, but the countess tells her that she will not leave until her father returns, because she will let him know what happened, since every day the attitude of Briana towards Aisha becomes rougher.
Aisha for her part, hears everything, well, at least this time Briana is right, she made her fall, but on other occasions, it is Briana who has made her fall, stumble or has broken something important, so she deserves the punishment.
Later that day, Marcela came to Aisha's room to tell her that she had a visitor, which surprised Aisha, but her maid looked very happy to tell her about her visitor. Aisha goes down and is guided to the visitor's room, upon entering, who was in that place, was an attractive red-haired boy with brown eyes, with an elegant suit and a bouquet of white roses.
When he sees Aisha, he stands up, greeting with a radiant smile and hands her the flowers, while Aisha processes a little what is happening, remembering that that boy, was him, the young duke, Oscar Gutman. Well, he was cute, but not to her liking, he seemed silly.
"I heard what happened with your sister, I'm sorry you had a bad time." He expresses with concern.
Aisha leaves the flowers on a table and sits down on the small armchair, she doesn't want the redhead to suddenly move to her side. Oscar noticed that she was not excited about the flowers as she usually does.
"Are you okay? You seem a little strange." He asks.
"Y-yes, just... you know, the fall... and all that made me reflect a little." She looks away.
"I'm sorry I couldn't come to see you during that accident, but I sent you a letter, did you receive it? I waited for your answer and..."
"Ah! Of course, the letter... but you know, I was bad, how was I going to have the head to answer a letter?" The tone of her voice was full of sarcasm.
"It's true... I'm sorry... I hope you're feeling better, your debut is soon and you must be perfect for that moment."
"It's true... the debut..." she startles. "Of course I'll be fine, I can't miss it." She says with false joy.
When it's her turn to dance with Oscar, she will step on his feet and with desire to that silly cheater.
"I hope you allow me to be the one who escorts you to the ballroom." He keeps his smile.
"What? But if the hall is crossing the garden, why do I need an escort?" She asks. But seeing Oscar's surprised face, she coughs falsely. "Y-yes... yes, of course, I'll be happy if you escort me."
She lets out a fake giggle, while Oscar seems to observe her with some doubt, but, expresses how happy he is, to be the one who accompanies her on that special day.
