Now I am the Villainess of the Hourglass.

"Aria, this is Jessie, she will be your personal maid."

The earl introduced us, Jessie seemed quite nervous and bowed saying: "It's an honor to meet you, Lady Aria."

"It is an honor as well." I said making one too, but the count laughed a little at this.

"Oh my dear, you don't need to bow to her, you are now a Count's daughter." This man's friendly skirt is making me too angry, I just nodded for him to continue talking. "Now, Jessie will take you to your room, she will put you in a beautiful dress and she will show you the house."

I nodded again with a shy smile, because I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by this experience, although it had already been five years since I became Aria, I felt that this was still too soon. I tried to disconnect my mind from the past a little to be able to follow Jessie, she guided me to the room where I would live for the next few years, it was exactly like the manwha and without a doubt beautiful, I left the book on a desk while I looked at the walls, I wonder which of these was the one with the secret passage.

"The bath is ready, Lady Aria." She told me leading me to the room, my God is almost as big as my apartment in my old life, the bathtub was the size of my bed, who needs so much space? "Here I have a selection of aromas, please, choose the one you like the most."

I look at some bottles of the same style, but with liquids of a different colors inside and bits of plants, flowers or citrus fruits, I didn't consider myself a fan of this kind of thing, but if I'm very picky with the smells that I like, I was about to ask Jessie to choose for me, when suddenly I see two bottles with purple liquids, one was lavender and the other was jacaranda...

"A hurricane of jacarandas~"

Ah~ I love that song, what I miss the most is being able to listen to music with my headphones all the time.

Sorry, I got off topic.

The jacaranda is my favorite flower, whenever I could I stole one from the flower shop where I worked so I could always smell it, I ended up having a collection of dried flowers in my room, that smell was my safe place. Since I got here, I haven't had the opportunity to smell that flower again, the most I have had is a dry petal that I found on the street, it almost had no smell, but I used it as a bookmark, I grabbed the bottle and held it up to my nose. The smell was so calm, I haven't felt so relaxed since I was reincarnated, I feel like I could cry right now.

"My lady" Hearing Jessie's voice come back to reality, I turned around and I could see her face of confusion, but still she kept her helpful demeanor. "Do you want to use this?"

"Yes, please."

Immediately, the maid took the bottle from my hand and poured it into the water, then she turned to me and asked my permission to undress me, as soon as she had it she carefully took off my dress, letting out a gasp of surprise when she saw my thin limbs and how my ribs and spine were marked against my skin, as a result of not having a good diet, I began to feel a little uncomfortable and simply got into the tub.

I couldn't help but let out a gasp of relief as I felt the hot water surround me and my whole body relaxing, since I got here all my baths were limited to every two weeks with warm to cold water, because my mother and her coworkers had priority due to limited resources. I was so comfortable that I didn't even notice when the maid approached the bathtub, she carefully began to caress my skin with a sponge, cleaning my arms and back, it seemed that she was afraid of breaking me, when she poured water on my shoulders,  she did it slowly, it almost looked like a watering can. She started untangling my hair using some oils and then brushed it completely straight, well...technically speaking, now it is because of the water.
