Chapter 29

"What the hell? Why is it even this bastard's face?" I said annoyed. I really didn't plan to think about him. However, my brain seemed to have camouflaged because the image of King Zavier naked on top of my body actually made me even more excited

I even imagined what it would be like if his penis pushed into my body, would it feel much more pleasurable than working with this finger?

"Oh..." I screamed softly as the fluid from inside my vagina gushed out like a waterfall. 

So fucking good, it feels really good. Is this how women feel when their partners do this? Is that why few of them want to reject it?

I opened my eyes with a feeling of relief and also a strange feeling. Imagining that damn king's face actually made me even more motivated.

"No, this isn't true! It should be Princess Minka. What I imagined was Princess Minka, not her annoying brother! Agh...damn...! I must be crazy, I wouldn't possibly do that with a man , I don't want to...!" I shouted in frustration.

"Ella, are you awake-"

"Aaagh...!" I screamed when Emily suddenly came into my room before trying to knock on the door first. Spontaneously, I immediately pulled the blanket to cover my body.

"Oh my God, what are you doing? Why are you naked in bed?" 

"I just woke up and you suddenly came in without knocking on the door first!"

"I'm sorry, but there's something I want to tell you. It's very important!"

"There's nothing more important than knocking on the door first before going into someone else's room, Emily!"

"I'm sorry! But this is more important!"

"Yes, okay, tell me what's more important? I hope it's not about mother's nagging about last night's incident and that ugly bastard's useless nonsense!"

"No, it's not about that but it's a little related!"

"Oh yeah?"

"You got letters from two different people!"

"What? Letters?" 

Emily crept towards the bedroom door only to lock the door. It seems like this is so secret that no one is allowed to know about it. 

Emily showed two letters that she had hidden behind her body and for some reason this time I wasn't interested in the letters. 

"Here's the letter!"

"From who?"

"ADV and King Zavier."

"What?"

"You got a letter from ADV or what I suspect is Duke Aiden De Velgmegeur and also King Zavier who openly put his name in the letter envelope."

I was stunned for a moment, trying to digest this situation which seemed to feel increasingly complicated. I received the letter that Emily gave me and sure enough, ADV and Raja Zavier De Velgmegeur were written on the envelope.

"Are you sure these letters are for me?"

"Who else in this house is Eleanor Marquitas if not you, Ella?"

"But why would they send me a letter like this? I have nothing to do with them!" I said denying it. As much as possible, I denied the fact that those two people were so obsessed with me. 

"I also don't know what your actual relationship with them is, but this letter clearly shows that you are involved in a scandal, Ella!"

"What? What scandal?"

"Scandal with His Majesty the King and also his half-brother!" Emily said while putting her hands on her hips. She looked as if she was judging me for a mistake that seemed impossible for me to make.

I don't know anything at all because as far as I remember, I am a man and I have never been involved in romantic affairs with men.

"I know you're trying to deny it in your mind, but Ella to be honest, I've known this for a long time from your attitude and also the letters you often receive from noble men, especially Duke Aiden."

"Emily, listen to me! I know this may sound very strange to you, but I have no way of remembering what really happened and what I actually did. I don't know, so I beg you to believe me!" 

"Yes, actually I believe your denial a little because now you are completely different from the Ella I have always known. You have become a little better."

"Can you tell me something?"

"What?"

"Actually, what was my character like before I was found drowned in the lake?"

"Your character?"

"Yes, my character. What was my character like before?" I asked. I really want to know what the true character of this woman named Ella is like before I enter her body. I'm sure she's not the typical kind and elegant woman like most noble women in general.

Emily stared at me for a moment, it was clear she was a little confused by my question. But because I showed a convincing expression, she just sighed.

"I understand, now I believe more and more why you said that you couldn't remember anything. Ok, I'll tell you what you were like before. You are a very selfish woman, very stubborn and also very manipulative. That's why Jannet hates you so much because she often becomes a victim of your manipulation, Ella!"

"Really? My nature is that bad?"

"Yes, your nature is that bad. But actually it's not entirely your fault."

"What do you mean?"

"Erika, our married eldest sister is a witness to why you can grow into a woman like this."

"We have one more sister?"

"You don't remember Erika?"

"Who's she?"

"Oh my gosh, our family photo is on a big display, Ella! Didn't you notice it? Besides, can't you really remember anything?"

"I told you, I can't remember anything!"

"Yes, okay, I understand. I'm telling you, Erika always said that since you were born, mother had luck that she never imagined in her life. Mom was a woman who really believed in fortune telling and every month, mom would visit her favorite fortune teller to ask about luck or what misfortune she will face over the next few weeks."

"Are you serious? That witch believes in fortune telling?" 

"Not only does she believe, but what choice she will make depends entirely on the prophecy. Before you were born, the fortune teller told the mother that the daughter who would be born next was a jewel that would make the Marquitas family rise in rank. Our father at that time was only a noble with a low status, didn't have much wealth. Father only had a vineyard which often experienced crop failures. Because of this, our family was often looked down upon and very rarely got party invitations. Before you were born, Erika, Jannet and I often exchanged the same clothes to save money. But after you were born, this family's life really changed. The harvest never failed, mother got a sudden inheritance from her grandfather, your beauty and intelligence since childhood made many people pay attention to you since childhood, neither did you have you ever experienced exchanging clothes with your siblings because mother always gives you new and very nice clothes. Even though Marie had been born, she didn't have the same privileges."
