Chapter 2

I sat down the soft couch and placed my shoulders on top of my knee, covering my face with my palms.

I was shaking. I was afraid.

'How would I... live on as this woman?!'

I thought that I lost all my charms, I could no longer seduce any man, I could no longer use my authority, and I could no longer socialize.

If I ever meet her friends... her husband... I would rather die than do so.

'But I just can't be cooped up in this weird mansion...!' I thought with my gritted teeth. This will soon kill me for all I know.

"I can't stay like this." I said and stood up, gathering all my strength to my feet.

But then, I remembered something.

'OH.'

I can't run away. I don't know how They speak, and what's the laws and rules in this world. Because if I go out without any knowledge, I could be beheaded by the emperor.

"Oh please... not that..."

Of all the times I have been a daughter of an official, I saw a lot of execution of criminals who disobeyed the law.

And their heads falling off from their body was... the most horrible.

I sat down once again shaking my head in confusion. I want to ask someone for help they may think I've become crazy.

"And I... if we're a commoner...I'm doomed!" I gasped. If I was a commoner, I will suffer hardships and discrimination. I thought I needed to confirm it soon, so I stood up and looked everywhere.

My feet then took me to a place... a perfect spot... the window.

The fingers of my hands started to lift the curtain away from the glass window and my eyes saw a huge road. There were moving... what was that?

"Are those... horses?! Enemies...?! Oh no, I have to call this body's mom!" I panicked. I didn't know what to do. There were a lot passing by, and we are being seized!

I don't have my sword with me, so I picked up a stick in the corner of the house.

"M-mama...!!" I called out as I trembled calling the pet name of the mother of this body. I have to admit, it was cheesy for me to bear.

I heard rushing footsteps from upstairs and I smiled greatly. She would know the cause!

Perhaps, she could help me defeat these warriors riding a strange horse!

"J-jin-ah! What is it…?! Are you alright…?!" She asked and cupped my face, looking at me, checking for any wounds.

I pointed at the window and glared.

"We are being attacked. Those horses keep on passing by! We can't stay here, we're going to end up being killed!" I shouted.

I was so fired up, forgetting I am in the timeline 2000+ years from my original time.

A small laugh escaped her lips. She smiled at me and sat down.

"Are you really alright? You see them everyday anyway..." She said and laid her back on the couch.

Every day? Is this how weak our household is?

"Don't we have soldiers to fight for our household? Knights, where are they...?! Can't they move and protect the capital?! And why are you so relaxed...?!" I shivered. This place is crazy. Do they not care for their lives anymore?!

She then slowly frowned, and a clear worry showed in her wrinkly face.

"Jin-ah... are you alright? Are you sick? Have you forgotten everything? Those are not enemies... we don't have knights.. Did you read too many fantasy novels at night..?!" Her voice sounded angry but I know she was worried.

Why?

"Fantasy novels...? Are you telling me all those wild horses running are normal carriages...?" I asked and felt my hands loose from my strong grip to the stick.

"Why are you calling those horses and carriages? Those are called cars. they're used for travelling. Hey, do you need me to take you to the hospital" She asked me as she stood up and held my forehead, checking if I have a fever.

Cars? So they're technically carriages?!

"Oh! So they were carriages after all!"

I saw her sigh and shake her head, hopeless.

Huh?
