"Holy fuck where am I?! Didn't I die earlier? What the hell happened?' She thought to herself as she scanned the wide room filled with nothing but horrible designs. Not only is her wardrobe broken, everything inside might collapse soon!

"Here's your water, better clean your room yourself. God, no wonder no one wants to become your maid." The woman in a maid outfit said as she put the basin filled with murky water at the side of her bed.

Everything was dirty! It doesn't scream the typical noble daughter filled with riches! And the maid's attitude towards her is making her feel mad. Of course, Rachelle is confused about her situation, but this woman feels like a reigning queen somehow.

Clearly Rachelle could tell that she is a noble. Judging by the maid, it seems that her family is powerful enough to hire a maid.

"Oh and one more thing, the master called you." The maid said and left her room with the door banging loudly. She couldn't help but squint her eyes at how loud the maid shut the door. Are people here doesn't know what manners are?

Still perplexed at her situation, she stood up from laying on the bed and went to the vanity mirror that she saw. It was musky and had a lot of dust in it as if it wasn't clean for like a week now. she tried to wipe off the dust that was covering the whole mirror.

Once it becomes clear enough for her to see, she gasps at the sight of a beautiful woman in front of her. With red hair that resembles the colour of an apple and green eyes that glints whenever the sun ray's hit her face. But what appears to shock her even more was how malnourished the woman is.

She's literally the definition of stick and bones!

"What...?" She uttered, yes she couldn't deny that the woman in front of her that might be her now is beautiful. But the fact that her question still lies in her mind didn't make her appreciate the beauty in front of her.

"But wait... Why do I feel like someone familiar." She muttered to herself as she keeps on observing the woman who is her now. Dating back to what she read, the description of the evil woman suddenly popped into her head.

'Red hair? Green eyes? Abused and mistreated? It's definitely Felicia Vivianne Del Montague!' Her mind expressed, shocking all of her nerves. Oh no, she felt tense at this point. Felicia died at the end of the novel, of course, who wouldn't be scared?

"But wait. The novel didn't mention that she was this poor. Felicia in the book was rather glamourous and a bit tacky in fashion." She murmured to herself. She then glanced at the murky water the maid had sent to her.

"Really? I read lots of stories with villains lavishing themselves with their riches and I end up being a broke villainess?! With an unloving family, used and beaten by my step-sister and now with death waiting for me? Am I fucked up?!" She couldn't help but yell out her frustrations.

"Why am I so unlucky? First I read a novel that defines bullshit. Second I died because I didn't pay my rent, and now lastly I'll die because of some plot and schemes? Oh hell no I won't allow that!" She added to herself, hyping herself.

"Let's see. I do not know why the Duke is calling for me. But since I'm living in the annexe and someone keeps on stealing the budget resulting in Felicia's lack of care, then I should also strike him a beating. If I do remember it correctly, he hates Felicia's gut." She muttered, didn't bother to use the murky water to wash off her face and instead grabbed anything in her rotting wardrobe.

Or course to appear very troubled and of course, to create the first misunderstanding, she needs to ruin this dress to appear like being mistreated. One thing that the Duke hates is belittling the lineage of his family, even if that person is hated by him, he cannot allow to show off her with rags.
