Acantha arrived a little bit late at Lady Roys tea party, when she arrived she saw many won are already sitting on a long table and were happily eating and drinking their tea.
The won stopped from laughing when they notice that she was coming, Acantha looked at the table and she saw Noraya was also present at the party.
She saw that everyone who was there eyed her from head to toe, like it was odd that she was also present there.
"L-lady Acantha, y- you're h-here?". One lady asked as she was stuttering, seriously? is that their hobby to stutter?
"Why? Am I not invited?", I asked as I raised my brow's and saw everyone gasped and they make face like I did sothing terrible.
I heard everyone whispered as I asked, "Lady Acantha you are here, " Noraya was the one to break the silence as she looks at and smiled sweetly.
"Why of course I am invited to this tea party, Lady Noraya," I said as I answered her with my sweetest smile.
I saw how her face turned dark just for a second and the she plastered a sweet smile on her face, damn, I knew it from the beginning that there was sothing wrong with the novel and how the author portrayed the heroine, now I was wondering what cos on her mind on making Noraya as the heroine when even in the novel she did so many mischievous things?
"I didn't an to offend you Lady Acantha I was just concerned that my presence would make you feel uncomfortable, " She said as she made a sad face.
Everyone went to comfort her, but I notice one girl who was just bowing her head, she was just looking at her plate as if it will disappear anyti.
And where is lady Roys? why is Noraya sitting on the hostess seat when it was supposed to be lady Roys who should sit there?
"Lady Acantha, why are you always being rude to Lady Noraya when she forgives your humiliating her the last ti," one of the lady who was comforting Noraya said as she was looking at with distasteful look.
"And who are you?" I asked as I looked at her from head to toe just what she did to awhile ago.
These people I was trying to be nice but their getting on my nerves, what I lack the most is my temper.
And, why is she even crying now? I didn't even said a thing about her? and what does this lady ant that Noraya forgave ? I should be the one to forgive her not the other way around.
"I'm Lilian Dorkinya," She said as she looked at and I saw a hint of fear on her eyes as she was trying to look brave in front of .
"Well, lady Dorkinya. I wasn't being rude to lady Noraya, I was just saying that Lady Evangeline Roys invited to this tea party," I said as I flash my smile at her.
Everyone looks at each other and nodded agreeing to what I said.
"B-But-"
"Lady Lilian! Lady Acantha was right, and beside there's nothing wrong with what she said a while ago,"
Lady Dorkinya wasn't able to finish her sentence when soone stood up in my defense. The woman agrees to what she said.
She went near at and she guided to seat near to the lady who was just still listening to us while looking at her plate.
"Thank you lady?" I said as I smiled at her.
"I'm lady Dreanna Constrin," she said as we settled on our seat.
We continued having so of our tea, but I can sense the death glares that Noraya and her friends were sending at my direction.
"Lady Constrin, I was wondering where is hostess for this tea party?" I said as I road my eyes around, I've been here for a couple of hours and the hostess still hasn't arrived.
Lady Constrin didn't answered but she looks at beside and point the woman beside . I was a bit surprised that this lady beside was Lady Evangeline Roys.
But, if she was the hostess then why is she sitting her instead of sitting where Noraya is?
I slightly lean near lady Constrin to ask her, " Why is she sitting here instead there?" I said as I pointed the seat that Noraya was occupying.
Lady Constrin also lean and whisper," Lady Noraya wanted to sit there and Lady Roys was still new to this kind of party, and besides everyone insisted that Lady Noraya should sit there as she was the crown prince's fiancée," Lady Constrin said as she was looking at where Noraya is who was now smiling and laughing.
I straightened my back and I looked beside , "Nice to e you lady Roys, " I said as I smiled at her.
Lady Roys raises her head and she looks surprised, " I-I are you talking to ?" She said as shyly as she was stuttering.
I nodded at her and smiled again, she reminds of my best friend when I was still Lucille, "N-nice to et you too l-lady Acantha," She said again shyly as she blushed.
I talked to her and Lady Constrin the whole ti and was still pissed at the thought that Noraya was using her position as the crown prince's fiancée to be the center of attention.
---------------------------------
Mildred was the one to welco when I went ho that night, the tea party was terrible as it was like Noraya was the hostess of the party instead of Lady Roys, but I'm glad I t so new people aside from the maids here and Mildred, and oh the knight last ti whom I didn't have the chance to get his na.
"Mildred w-," I was about to ask but I stopped knowing that it was useless to asked for sothing I already know but I was still confused.
"What was it my lady?" Mildred asked as she was combing my hair as I just finished my bath and was to go to sleep since I don't have any appetite to eat dinner as I am so tired from the tea party.
"Nothing, I was just about to say I was glad to have you here with ," I said and I ant what I said.
In a world that I don't think would be possible and knew no one in here, no matter how smart am I if the things here are different what I know it was still hard for to be here.
Mildred just smiled at through the mirror as she finishes combing my hair.
She left after saying good night, and I was left here alone.
Maybe, I should work on my temper if I want to avoid dying this life, and I should avoid retaliating Noraya and avoids her.
But, I was already trying my best to avoid them but why it seems like everywhere I go she was always there, and it was like fate was telling no matter how I avoid them and leave peacefully It will always end like what happened in the novel no matter how changed I tried to make.
I sighed as I rember that I still need to face the crown prince when he cos back, I fell asleep thinking what will happen tomorrow.
