[Scene: Celestia’s chambers. The air is heavy with the lingering presence of King Lucien. The door has just closed behind him, leaving her alone with her thoughts.]
Celestia Vaelmolt (Archduke's daughter)
(thoughts): Okay… deep breaths. Don’t panic. Just… assess the situation.
*[She stares at her reflection in the ornate mirror again, taking in the delicate yet sharp features of her new body. Dark, wavy hair falls past her waist. Golden eyes—so piercing they almost glow—stare back at her. Her skin is flawless, her figure elegant and regal.]
Celestia Vaelmolt (Archduke's daughter)
(thoughts): No wonder they called her the "Beauty of the Era." She looks like she walked straight out of a fantasy painting.

Celestia Vaelmolt (Archduke's daughter)
[Muttering] But she was also the most hated woman in the empire.
*[Memories of the novel flood in. Celestia Vaelmont wasn’t just a spoiled noblewoman—she was a cruel, obsessive villainess who tormented the original female lead.]
Celestia Vaelmolt (Archduke's daughter)
(thoughts): If I follow her path, I’m doomed. I have to change the story. Survive. That’s the goal.
[A sudden knock on the door interrupts her thoughts.]
Maid
(hesitantly): M-My lady… may I enter?
Celestia Vaelmolt (Archduke's daughter)
[Straightens] Come in.
*[The door creaks open. The maid steps in cautiously, hands trembling slightly.]
Celestia Vaelmolt (Archduke's daughter)
(thoughts): She’s scared of me.
Celestia Vaelmolt (Archduke's daughter)
[Softly] What’s your name?
Maid
[Eyes widen] …Pardon?
Celestia Vaelmolt (Archduke's daughter)
Your name.
Maid
[Still hesitant] I-It’s Anise, my lady.
Celestia Vaelmolt (Archduke's daughter)
(thoughts): In the novel, Celestia was known for mistreating her servants. If I want to survive, I need to change everything—starting now.
Celestia Vaelmolt (Archduke's daughter)
[Nods] Anise. I’d like some tea. And… thank you for taking care of me.
Maid (Anise): A timid but kind-hearted maid serving Celestia.
Anise(Maid)
[Stammering] O-Of course, my lady! At once!
[She rushes out, nearly tripping over herself.]
Celestia Vaelmolt (Archduke's daughter)
(thoughts): Okay, step one: Don’t be an awful person. I can do that.
