Luna, an overworked Engineer, had an unfortunate end. Her spirit, feeling wronged, fights Death for a second chance in life. Death grants her the wish, but with a catch.
She gets to live a new life in a new w...
I stepped back as the four girls circled me. They had fury on their eyes and the same hateful look that I had caught when the princes were talking to me. The Marquis daughter looked particularly livid.
"How come such a low birth thing like you think it has the right to monopolize the princes!" Said Raphaela as she moved close with her very sharp scissors.
It had an intricate design and if it was not now a weapon on the hands of a crazy girl I would have liked to keep it.
I knew they were not very bright or they wouldn't be making this scene, yet their brains only assimilated dresses and jewelry. To think that they blamed me for those troublemakers and that sly fox's own decisions was too much for my intellect.
The royal princes choose who they hang out with and no one, especially not these girls, would make them do otherwise. These dimwitted girls couldn't see past their own stupidity.
They moved forward and I moved back a few steps, looking around to see if there was any adult close by to avoid this debacle from continuing. There was no one in sight.
These adults were all useless shit...
"Maybe we should cut that ugly hair of yours." Said the girl on the left with a sneer.
For someone, who had such lifeless brown hair like her, to make a diss on my well-put-together hair (thanks to the efforts of Fanny) was an affront I wouldn't take. So I sneered back!
"How dare you! You don't know your place." Said another girl at the right end, shaking with fury.
"Maybe we should teach her place. She got pitted because of her pretty face... what if it was rearranged? And broken like her character?" Spewed the girl from behind with a dramatic laugh.
As in cue, they came forward a little more. I couldn't believe this stupidity! What did they think would happen if they indeed hurt me?! Even if what they said was true and I had gotten adopted because of my face, that didn't mean they wouldn't suffer the bad, very bad, consequences of doing it. Which in turn, made me realize it was all a big bluff. No one was that idiotic...
And with bluff, I could work.
"How could this rat think she can compare herself with Lady Jennifer, the true lady of Mountnero. Such a dubious person like her drags the name of Mountnero family to the mud." Said the Marquis daughter with pure venom in her voice, while she made the scissors dance on her hand.
Her words, while cutting and stupid, were indeed interesting, because I had heard something similar before. From a bitch princess.
Uhmmmmm.... so it was that hell bitch... Of course, it was!
They moved forward a little more, and I went back again, but this time my shoes made a sound and my feet became wet. I had been led to a small pound. The girls became hysterical, laughing at my "misery".
"Now let's start arranging that face." Laughed Raphaela wickedly, while she played with the silver scissors, opening and closing them in angry movements.
I returned her laugh, which surprised them enough to have them stop laughing and walking in my direction. Their surprise grew more when I grabbed Raphaela's hand.
"To think that the daughter of a Marquis would behave like that to a daughter of a Duke!" I said with a haughty and commanding tone, twitching the girl's arm, making her release a weeping sound.
My tone and my demeanor, way different from what she had expected, freaked her out.
"I will tell you and your friends something." I gave a warning look to those girls as well."I take shit from the mastermind behind this stupidity because she is a princess." The shock on their faces was way too funny to avoid a laugh. "...but I take no shit from someone beneath me."
The Marquis's daughter started to try shaking me off, but I grabbed her arm with even more strength, preventing her from getting away. Her weeping returned, however, I paid no attention to it. With a swift move, I made the scissors touch my face with enough strength to make a wound.
Freaked out, the girl pushed me away and I fell into the pound, becoming completely wet. The scissors fell as well to the ground and my blood starter to disperse on the wet grass.
The wound had been deeper than I had expected.
"You crazy bitch!" Yelled the Marquis daughter. Her countenance was now similar to a pudding... wobbly.
"Yes, I am a crazy bitch. I am a bad bitch called Lucreatia of Mountnero!" I said as I got up. Blood dripping from the cut and dirtying my dress. "And the wrong person mess with." I moved forward in slow steps as the other girls took now a step back. The Marquis daughter just crawled back, unable to get up.
The game had turned.
"Now I want to see if that princess of yours is going to help you when I tell everyone what you did! My bet is on the no." I said with an evil grin on my lips. Which made the girl's face fall. Some had now their hands on their mouths, their worry too big for words.
They thought I was serious, but I was just bluffing. I didn't want a bigger circus, a scare would be enough to have them out of my back. And others as well.
Anyway, my wound was too superficial to count as anything. It was more for show.
"Lulu?!" A panic voice called away from us.
Oh, this was not good.
I and the girls looked to our left to see Jenni walking slowly, tears forming in her blue eyes and her face full of consternation.
"Lulu!!!" Her despair made her yell so loud I was sure someone would have listened.
She came running and crying profoundly. When she reached me, Jenni hugged me, covering me with her body. Her tears poured over the back of my beautiful dress, as Jenni shook and continued to wail in sadness. The girls in front of me continued to be in a panic and in silence. Unsure of what to do.
Not long before, came prince Cedric and Francis with their aides. Their faces in shock at the scene and at the blood on my face. The silence that came after made me itchy.
This was not good... not good at all...
