“Miss... miss... miss!!” A faint voice of a woman called her out, breaking through the silence.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBqRTgTrAb
Ugh… five more minutes... she groaned, curling deeper into her bed, unwilling to wake.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJOV6uS5Vm
“Miss... You need to wake up, miss...” The woman’s voice was gentle as she softly patted her shoulder, urging her awake.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFDOqdFgpB
Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the door, jolting her from her drowsiness. "I'm awake! I'm awake..." she muttered, sitting up quickly, wide-eyed.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Uku2qasbb
"Lady Arwenzylle, this is not the proper conduct for a lady," the woman said firmly, her tone unyielding.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbS50LUCWI
"Huh? Wait... where am I?" Arwenzylle's eyes darted around the unfamiliar room in confusion. "Am I dreaming...?" Her gaze landed on the lavish furniture, the sparkling chandelier overhead, and the gold accents decorating the walls. "Wow, this dream feels so real..." She sighed in relief, her heart racing. "I wish I’d never wake up..."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJcJ2N9n6l
"Lady Arwenzylle... Are you alright? Do you still have a fever?" The woman, now dressed in a maid's uniform, asked with concern, her voice softening.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0DouZCcGA
"Wow... I even have a maid... Hehe, this is breathtaking," Arwenzylle smiled, enchanted by the luxury around her.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Bi9FOp51
"Lady Arwenzylle Thalamus," The woman stood at attention, her posture perfect, eyes sharp with an air of authority. "Your etiquette class starts at 9 a.m. Don’t be late!" She glanced at Arwenzylle’s disheveled hair and the untidy bed, shaking her head slightly. "And please, sleep like a princess, not like a baby." With that, she turned and left, her footsteps fading away.

3 hours later
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJZmSeRcKc
"Ugh... This is surely not a dream!" she muttered, sitting in her chair and slipping off her shoes.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AR7Wzoevk
Wanna know what really happened? To make it short I died. And what's even worse? I reincarnated. Well, I’ve mostly read reincarnation novels and always wished to experience it, but this... this is on another level! Why did I even reincarnate?! I don’t even know the novel! I only read the first part! So why?! Why?! Why did I reincarnate into this novel?! And what's even worse is the plot!
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg555aI281
My friend recommended this novel, Wish for Your Death. It has such a captivating title... but with a horrible plot!! She said it’s a love story with a twisted plot, but all she told me was, "The protagonist you think, isn’t the real one." Huh? Fudge! Why?! Why did I reincarnate into this?! I didn’t even finish reading the novel... or even start it properly!
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEpYwh6KO6
I mean, seriously, how does this even happen? One moment I’m living my life, minding my own business, and the next thing I know, I’m stuck in a story I barely even know. What kind of reincarnation is this? Is this some kind of twisted joke from the universe?
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYgN0Xesgc
I should’ve at least done some research or finished reading the novel my friend recommended! But nooo, I was too busy with other things, thinking "It’s fine, I’ll get to it eventually." And now I’m here, playing the role of someone in a story where I don’t even know the full plot.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9H7YCjGdd
All I know is the main character is supposed to venture on a journey to the three of life and some messed-up love story, and somehow, I'm... I might be involved in it. I have no clue what's going on. All I can say is, if this is what reincarnation is like, someone really needs to fix the system.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN7Zupna7B
I mean, is there a way to get out of this? Maybe I can just find a way to avoid being part of this messed-up love story even the world is messed up! Who knows this well end today! Even tomorrow!. But wait... if I change anything, won't I ruin the whole plot? I can't even trust the characters in this story nor knowing them.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsFMlKp30Y
Ugh, I'm not ready for this kind of mess. "Well, here we go," I muttered, taking a deep breath, bracing myself for whatever insane turn my life is about to take next.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaICrTyfNVy
Just as she braced herself for whatever came next, the door swung open again, this time more gently.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97wVerNN3n
"Lady Arwenzylle," a calm voice called from the doorway, "Your breakfast is ready."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Um4mcpBku
Arwenzylle turned to face the maid, who entered with a small tray of delicate dishes. Her stomach growled in response, reminding her that while the world around her was falling apart, her physical needs were still very much intact.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJta08RE70F
"Thank you," she said, trying to mask the frustration in her voice. "But really, can you tell me more about this place? Why does everything feel so... surreal?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMOAdr3iWo
The maid set the tray down on the table beside her. "This is Windhurge Empire, Lady Arwenzylle. And this is the mansion of the Thalamus family." She paused, watching the young lady with a concerned expression. "You’ve been unwell, but I believe you’ll be fine now. You are the daughter of the Duke Gilbert Alexander Whales . Your role in the empire is important, and I assure you that you have everything to live for here."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns2XN4jQNv
Arwenzylle’s mind raced. The last name Whales it had some ring to it. She couldn’t place it. But why did it sound so familiar? Was this part of the novel too?
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaHLVXP8j6
The three of life, she remembered with a shudder. That was part of the plot of Wish for Your Death the mysterious, ancient tree that held the power to alter the fate of anyone who reached it. But what did this mean for her now? Was she supposed to go on a quest for it? Was that her purpose in this world?
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsUTcOCfFE
"Ugh, this is so messed up," she muttered again under her breath, before taking a deep breath and picking up her fork. There was no use complaining. The reality of her situation was far stranger than anything she’d ever imagined. If she had any chance of figuring out what to do next, she would need to learn more about this world, its rules, and possibly its plot.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7R8AdpzVH
Maybe, just maybe, she could find a way to look through this twisted love story and avoid her inevitable death or so, just like in the novel. But was it possible to change fate? She wasn’t sure, but she had no choice but to try.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l4vEtnhf3
"Lady Arwenzylle," the maid’s voice cut through her thoughts, "His Grace, the Duke, wants to see you in his office."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBHhJTtcic
Her heart skipped a beat. The Duke? Was that... her father? And why was he calling her now? Was it time to face the consequences of her reincarnation? She could only hope it wouldn’t be as painful as the last time she faced someone she didn’t fully understand.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA59MITs9aa
"Okay," she said, setting her utensils down and standing up. "Let's get this over with."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblHyIFg5Ff
Taking one last glance at the luxurious room around her, she steeled herself for the next chapter in this chaotic, unpredictable life that was now her reality. Who knew how this day would end? Or the next?
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRgcrzCDf2
With her heart pounding in her chest, she walked toward the drawing room, determined to make it through whatever plot twists came her way.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zoQX6BrQn
"What's this?" she thought, her body trembling, her heart beating so fast it made it hard to breathe. "This... This isn't my emotions..." Suddenly, the creak of the door opening echoed, and she saw a man sitting on a chair, facing her direction. His eyes pierced through her. As she walked into the office, each step made her knees tremble. "These emotions... they're from the original Arwenzylle. She trembled like a scared puppy abandoned by her mother," she thought.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyymn0CyAhj
"I heard you recovered," he said in a cold voice.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8J4DofWhN
"Y-yes, father," she replied, her voice trembling. I can't breathe... Why is Arwenzylle so scared of this man?
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldlWbExGR4
"If so, why don't you tell me what happened in the royal palace, in the prince's garden?" he asked. "Your sister, Aelita, said you pushed her, but you drowned in insistence," he continued, his voice stern.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG4OuBgrZu
"I... I..." she stammered, struggling to find her words.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWrzInsUiZ
"And the prince helped you, instead of your sister, his fiancée. Now tell me, Arwen, did you and the prince... did he give you something?" he asked, his curiosity evident.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDkHX8JM5u
"N-no, father," she replied, her voice trembling. How would I know that the original Arwenzylle and the prince met... and even exchanged letters?
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqRxWQ2WdR
The duke showed her the letter. Arwenzylle's face turned pale. "How will you explain these letters?" he asked coldly.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMp5bBhHdX
Suddenly, Arwenzylle knelt, crying and begging. "Father, I'm sorry! Please forgive me!" she begged, her body shaking. Huh? What's this? I can't control my body... Is the original Arwenzylle still alive? Why is she begging as if her life depends on it? She trembles so much...
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG42zQaAoMT
The duke stood up from his chair and walked past her. "Pit," he said, his gaze cold, and he left her kneeling on the floor. A knight dragged her away as she continued shouting until they reached the pit—an underground basement. The thick, dark walls and the smell of blood and chains filled the air. She was chained and placed in a chair, while a black magic circle surrounded her.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr9Uf718mn
"Let's start reading while giving your punishment," the duke said with an eerie smile.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG8E3TZ30N
"F-father... I'm begging you..." she pleaded.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2S18gNDbc
"Dear prince, I'll cut my greetings short with a small favor to ask, which I dare say your highness, a favor to help me escape the Whales mansion," the duke said. "This is quite a bold favor, Arwenzylle," he added.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchGLXNG5Wz
Suddenly, the magic circle glowed, and Arwenzylle felt a strange numbness spread through her entire body, as if a knife were piercing her, cutting her in half and absorbing her light.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAOC6Y8QtR
"It hurts... It hurts so much... Please... Please stop this... Please!" she begged until she lost consciousness.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPifkjA2gT
The duke left his conscious daughter in the pit.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfufscJ47Dv
Meanwhile, Arwenzylle woke up in a strange, empty ocean. She was standing in the water, looking at her reflection. There, she met the original Arwenzylle, who was also gazing into the ocean. She approached her.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvmXKsXNhl
"You know," the original Arwenzylle said, "they say eyes are windows to your soul. And that soul determines whether you're good or bad... But how can you see that soul if you don't have one?" She turned to face Arwenzylle.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqhsTnvqQz
"Are you... the real...?" Arwenzylle began to ask, but the other Arwenzylle cut her off.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWD48TboXz
"Arwenzylle," she said, smiling at her. "Your soul is brighter than any other, and she chose the right person for it," she said with a smile.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ0pvNrdXY
"What? I don't understand..." Arwenzylle replied, noticing the scars and bruises on her body. "Why? Why didn't you fight back?" she asked.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcVbd1OX9W
The original Arwenzylle smiled and held her hands. "Nothing would have changed if I did. Besides, I waited long enough, and this 'enough' is enough for me to let go."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUuohoeeek
"What do you mean?" Arwenzylle asked.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBjGID3ECG
"You'll know soon enough. Good things will come, so endure, have faith, trust, fight, and love, my dear Arwenzylle," she said. Suddenly, her body slowly started vanishing.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy69Jd8JzIB
"Wait... you can't go yet! I have so much to ask!" Arwenzylle cried out.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedd1oe2PSg
"Try to remember, Arwenzylle nyur Whales," she said.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL4sQAkqBV
Arwenzylle gasped as she woke up in her bed and realized she was back in her room. "A dream?" she whispered. But as she attempted to stand, her body ached. "Ughh!" she groaned in pain. "Yeah. Definitely not a dream," she muttered.
