It wasnt uncommon encountering people moving urgently during rush hour. However, it wasnt until I saw soone rushing down the stairs that I sensed sothing amiss.
When that person bumped into my shoulder, my body tilted sharply. I panicked since my hastily stretched hand couldnt reach anything. With nothing to grab on to, my body fell.
Is this how Im going to die? Just like this?
I dont want to die!
My body tumbled down the stairs and crashed on the floor. An excruciating pain erupted in my head and throughout my body. With blurred eyes, I stared at the person who had bumped into but he just avoided my gaze.
His evasion made it seem as though nothing happened. I could even see a couple of people hesitating and attempting to avoid this place.
Ambulance! Call an ambulance!
What happened?
A woman fell down the stairs.
The loud voices around were growing farther and farther away. Despair welled up in as my hazy vision beca darker and darker until it was imrsed in complete darkness.
I dont want to die
Who would want to die? I didnt want to die. It was unfair. I felt like I was going crazy because it was completely unfair. However, my body turned cold, betraying my will to live.
Gasp!
She took her first breath, trembling as though she was drowning, and had just surged to the surface. Heaving, she opened her eyes and saw the face of a crying person grow bright.
Young lady!
Haa, haa, haa
People gathered around her while she tried to bring her heavy breathing back to normal. She frowned when she realized she was lying on a soft bed. The rooms appearance didnt look like she was in the hospital.
I was in the subway. Did I lose my consciousness?
She thought she died in the subway. She blinked, then sighed, realizing that her eyes were quite swollen, as if she had been crying a lot.
The young lady has woken up!
Soone who left the room shouted to the people. She thought sothing was strange, when she heard that. It was the way they talk.
Why did they call young lady?
Its an ambiguous honorific, and the emotional tears that were shed around her huh?
Whats with those clothes? Is it from a foreign historical drama? dieval?
She looked up at the won, who were all dressed in maid outfits, which were usually seen in Arican dieval tis. Sothing must be wrong.
She observed the interior of the room as well as the bed she was laying on. She couldnt believe that it was like a nobles bedroom.
Whats this?
There was a sudden thought in her head, and the novel she had been reading on the subway as she commuted passed through like a panorama view.
A novel?
The mont she realized it, her sore eyes rolled over. Her already weak body could not overco the shock and fainted. The maids, who had been shedding tears of joy at the sight, were taken aback.
Young lady!
They scread, but she couldnt open her eyes again. At least, for a couple of hours.
That ugly thing!
Upon hearing the news, Marquis Montague gritted his teeth. The councillor had inford him that his daughter died an hour ago. The Marquis was more afraid of the aftermath of her death than his daughter.
His daughter, Celia, was supposed to marry Duke Leonis Cardian today. It is already ti to send her to the carriage.
Celia already had a fianc, but it was useless.
The Emperor granted Duke Cardians wish to marry whoever he wanted in exchange for the imperial curse. Celia was the one Leonis had chosen, using that authority.
He had seen her at a ball, and would co to know that she had a fianc since they were never apart. The Marquis didnt believe that the blood-soaked demon fell in love at first sight. However, it was true that he desired Celia.
Leonis told the Emperor that he wanted Celia Montague. The Emperor broke Celias engagent and ordered her to marry Leonis. Celias engagent was political, but they loved each other. At least, on Celias side.
Celia didnt want to marry Leonis so she told him that she wanted to run away. Fabian, her ex-fianc who was delayed in giving a response, suddenly sent a letter today to give an answer.
He was afraid that Celia would run away on her own, which was what had brought her to this point. It would be a problem for her ex-fianc as the bla would fall on him.
Marquis Montague first took the letter and read the la excuse before showing it to his daughter. Since it was a rejection letter, he thought it was a good idea to discourage Celia. However, she committed suicide by ingesting poison after reading the letter.
She didnt give in and marry the Duke, instead, she gave up her life.
Marquis Montague was furious but fear had taken precedence. If he reported this to Duke Cardian, hed be outraged and kill the whole family. The Emperor could not harm Duke Cardian no matter how angry he was. He was afraid of his power, but if he did sothing wrong and the Duke died, the curse would be passed to the Imperial Family.
The curse of blood.
The curse was aid against the Imperial Family rather than Duke Cardian. It was known that if Duke Cardian died without leaving an offspring, the curse would be transferred to the Imperial Family. Thats why the Emperor grants whatever Duke Cardian wants.
The report that Celia had committed suicide distressed Marquis Montague. He thought about sending his step daughter, Lily instead. But Leonis already knew Celias face. This trick was not going to work.
While he was trembling in fear, he received a report. Celia, who had been inford that she had died by the councillor, was alive. This ti, though, he reported she was in a bad condition and had lost her mind.
You cant stop the wedding! You can wake her up and get her dressed! The safety of the family is at stake!
The servants quietly bowed their heads at Marquis Montagues outburst. She had died once after ingesting poison, and would need dical treatnt, but the Marquis seed to still want to send her to Duke Cardian.
They cant help it even if they feel sorry for her. They were in no position to disobey Marquis Montagues order.
She was unconscious, but she was still breathing. They carefully lifted the fainted lady, washed, cleaned and dressed her.
Celia, who ca to her senses while makeup was being put on her, appeared confused.
Where am I. Why am I?
Hang in there, young lady.
Phoebe, her maid, said that and swallowed her tears. Celia looked around as if she didnt even recognize her. They were careful not to ntion the wedding, in case they would provoke Celia.
Can I take you to the carriage?
What if you faint at the ceremony?
Under the orders of the Marquis second wife, Ramona Montague, Lily, Celias stepsister, was locked in a warehouse.
Even if it was an unwanted marriage, it was her daughters wedding, so she didnt want to see the half-blood siblings. Ramona ordered that but she didnt show up.
It was because she didnt like her soon-to-be son-in-law Leonis Cardian.
At the Emperors command, Ramona only blad Celia, as if it were her fault, though the wedding was held under the acquiescence of the Marquis.
You should have taken the Crown Princes heart instead!
Celia just bowed her head with her mouth shut. Ramona simply didnt push her for a day or two. It was because she was well aware that no matter what she said, it would be ineffective.
As she looked around, Celias gaze was drawn to the mirror. It was sothing shed already noticed as she moved out of the bed.
The length of her hair was different. She knew sothing was wrong when she noticed her hair reaching her hips.
That. who is that?
Celias face turned pale at the sight of a beautiful woman with cotton candy pink hair. She quickly realized that the figure that was following her was actually her form.
Who the hell am I?
The maids were also embarrassed by her question.
Youre a young lady. Celia Montague, Marquis Montagues child.
Celia raised her hand and touched her face as the maid answered her with a frightened face. The last na Montague was sothing that she could not forget.
It was Roos last na in Roo and Juliet.
Romance fantasy novel with the last na Montague
There was a rated 19 novel nad, The Castle of Detention.
Argh!
Celia Montague was clearly the older sister of the female lead, who committed suicide after receiving a rejection letter from her ex-fianc the day before the wedding.
She was Ramonas daughter and the only person who loved Lily Montague in the novel. The na Lily was also given by Celia.
Lily was a brave girl who had co to ask for Leoniss responsibility after Celias death.
Leonis realized that Lily possessed the sa power as Celia, and decided to take her as a bride instead.
Lily tried to take revenge on Leonis with a misunderstanding in mind that Celias ex-fianc, Fabian, was working with the Duke to send a rejection letter, when it was actually the work of the Emperor.
Because Celias suicide was on the day of her wedding.
The maids looked at her with frightened eyes as Celia looked at them and asked.
Is today my wedding?
Wasnt that so sort of expression? It was a questioning look. The maids were relieved to say that they werent as distracted as they had been.
Yes.
They could not say that she should be in the carriage soon. They were concerned that she would faint again. Celia sighed and closed her eyes.
The groom is Leonis Cardian?
Yes, my lady.
Phoebe answered her and looked at Celia, whose hand was trembling. Her throat ached as if it were burning.
I, water water.
Yes, here you go, my lady!
It was a young lady who barely saved the parliantary and healers of Marquis Montegue. Her body had recovered, but her energy was depleted, so the councillor said that the wedding planned for today would be impossible.
My lady I feel sorry for you.
That cursed monster would not have left her alone. Her eyes welled up with tears when she rembered Celia, who had attempted suicide but failed, would be spending her first night with a weakened body.
Gulp.
When the water went down her throat, she thought she would live.
Knock knock.
The knock shattered the silence in the room like thunder. Celia glanced around while pushing a cup of water. As a maid looked at Celia, she nodded.
The door opened, and the servant addressed Celia.
The Dukes carriage has arrived. It is ti for the young lady to depart.
The words rang as if it was her ti to die.
