The maid bowed her head.
Maid: "D-Duchess."
Alia looked at her and tilted her head.
MC: "Who?"
--------------------------------------•☆•-------------------------------------
Alia tilted her head and looked at the maid, who bowed until her head reached her waist, her hands placed below her stomach.
MC: "Uhm...who are you again?"
The maid finally lifted her head slightly.
Maid: "M-My apologies, Princess. My mouth must have slipped and called you Duchess instead of Princess."
The maid's hands began to shake as she spoke.
Maid: "It's just that you look very similar to your mother, the Duchess."
Alia stared at the maid, wide-eyed.
MC: "Can you tell me who I am?"
The maid bowed again.
Maid: "You are Sheila De Grazion, the first princess and the—"
Alia cut her off.
MC: "No."
The maid flinched at the sudden "no."
Maid: "N-No?"
MC: "No, I mean—who am I, really?"
The maid jolted, her eyes darting around the room as she intertwined her fingers, trying to find the right words.
Maid: "Sheil—"
Alia’s eyes widened when she heard that name again.
MC💭: "I think I remember that name...but where?"
The maid continued talking about how great Sheila was, but when Alia finally realized who she was, she got off the bed.
Maid: "Princess?"
Alia walked to the mirror and grabbed a lock of her hair. Ah, yes, this hair—the soft blue-cyan hair and sharp purple eyes. This is—
MC: "Nahhhhhhhhh!!!"
Alia grabbed the mirror with both hands, holding it at either side, shaking it wildly.
Maid: "P-Princess??"
The maid probably thought Alia had lost her mind. Who in their right mind would shake a mirror like that, especially not the Princess, if she was already crazy?
Alia pressed her forehead to the mirror and thought.
MC💭: "NO WAAAAAAY! NOT THE D*MN VILLAIN! NO! NOOOOO!"
The maid began calling other workers, who quickly came and grabbed Alia away from the mirror.
The maids gently placed Shila back on the bed, and one of them spoke.
Maid 2: "Please don't hurt yourself, Princess!"
The other maids nodded eagerly in agreement.
Shila began to squirm, but the maids held her arms, legs, and head.
Suddenly, the door opened, and a woman with dark brown hair and gray eyes appeared.
The maids noticed the figure and immediately released Shila, bowing to her.
Maids: "YOUR HIGHNESS!"
Shila sat up and glared at the maids. She then looked up at the figure, her gaze softening as she recognized her. She bowed her head.
Shila: "Mother..."
The Queen nodded and dismissed the maids.
Queen: "Leave. I need to talk to my daughter."
The maids quickly left, closing the door behind them, leaving Shila alone with the Queen. The Queen walked toward Shila and placed a hand on her shoulder.
Queen: "Do you still feel sick?"
Shila stared at the Queen.
Shila: "N-No."
She thought the Queen's face looked very similar to her mother's in her world. Shila swallowed and smiled at her mother.
Shila: "I'm fine, Mother. Thank you for worrying about me."
