I Thought I Was The Main Character

Chapter 9

I woke up and was stunned at first.

A familiar space entered my blurred vision.

I was in my bedroom.

My physical condition was the worst, so I could hardly say anything.

'What is this strange sense of alienation?'

"My lady, are you awake?"

My dazed mind returned to reality at the worried voice.

I reflexively looked for the voice owner, and my eyes met the nanny, who looked at me with a sad expression.

"Are you okay? Are you sick anywhere?"

When I heard the question, my whole body was in pain.

"Nanny, urgh–"

I opened my mouth because I wanted to whine, but my throat was so sore that I had to shut up again.

'Why am I like this?'

"Please don't speak. They say the inside of your neck is very damaged."

She said so and helped me to drink water.

I felt hurt as the lukewarm water ran down my throat.

It was hard to drink more, so I shook my head, and the nanny cleared the cup.

When I swallowed the remaining water, the pain made me frown.

The nanny's fingers came up and rubbed them out between my forehead.

And I stayed still because I liked the hand that wiped my forehead with her palm.

With every touch of my nanny, my pain felt gradually disappearing.

All the strength left my body with my nanny's touch.

It felt more and more like a dream.

"Do you remember anything, my lady?"

'Huh? What I have to remember all of a sudden?'

My eyes were twitching, and I opened my eyes. The nanny's eyes were cautious.

While looking at my condition, I traced my memory, and I was able to recall the situation just before I collapsed.

"!"

The disgraceful situation when I vomited everything in front of Prince Luciano!

'It's must be a lie! Tell me it's a dream!'

My eyes widened with no voice coming out, and I desperately pursed my lips.

The nanny slowly shook her head with a sad face as if reading my thoughts.

'Did I really do that?'

"I went to the Imperial Palace to fetch my lady who's already collapsed."

My face showed an 'it didn't make sense' expression as my body lost strength.

The nanny was stroking my hair, but it wasn't comforting.

I couldn't believe it was all real.

I couldn't believe I did that in front of Prince Luciano!

I felt as if I had lost the world.

Was this the right way to die?

I overestimated the child's body.

It was foolish of me to believe that I would be able to persevere and endure like I did when I was an adult.
