okay na

. "Curfew is at 11 pm," she noted as glanced at a nearby wall clock

, "Okay, I promise I'll be back before then." . I reassured her

. "I'll do anything within my power to ensure no one notices Lady Clementine's sudden disappearance "she said with full of determination

"How cutee"I thought "like kittens"

Kitten?

"Excuse me, Radia," I began, my voice laced with curiosity. "I've heard that Eriol has a twin brother. Could you tell me more about him?" Radia let out a sigh, her expression hinting at annoyance. "Ah, prince elric," she said. He is prince eriols complete opposite - playful, arrogant, and downright rude and irresponsible."

Why did you ask lady clementine??

I think It's best to steer clear of Elric, as much as possible."I thought

"prince Elric and prince Eriol have quite a strained relationship. They hardly get along," Radia explained. "Especially that humor is that the 1st prince posess dark magic," Radia added, a hint of unease in her tone.

"That's why he always has this air of mystery surrounding him. Surprisingly, the only person he seems to converse with is Eriol, despite their rocky relationship."

"How about my relationship with Eriol?"I asked

"Your relationship with the prince? Well," Radia paused, choosing her words carefully. "To put it bluntly, it seems quite one-sided. I've never seen him so much as glance at you, let alone acknowledge your existence."

Radia's words struck a chord with me, and they made me ponder a harrowing thought. I wondered if my spirit hadn't accidentally slipped into Lady Clementine, would she too have had to endure all the pain and loneliness? Would she have known the feeling of being unwanted and discarded?

"Radia..." I called out in a hushed tone, as I stared at myself in the mirror “What kind of person was I?" She glanced at me as a gentle smile played on her lips.

"You were always kind, optimistic, and you smiled a lot."

My smile turned bitter as I responded, "I'd rather hear the truth from you, rather than from others."

. "The tryth is...You have been a spoiled girl lady clementine "

"....."

.Radia's expression turned pensive as she continued, "You horribly exhibits rudeness towards lower-class citizens even towards your cousin princess catherine and you’re willing to utilize any means necessary to achieve your objectives. You would even stoop as low as physically abusing not only the palace servants but also nobles and you have no remorse about resorting to underhanded tactics, such as manipulating the queen to make her engage Eriol to you."

"Your harsh remarks about the commoners' noise and breath annoyed me to no end," Radia explained. "When you saw that someone exuded a pleasant scent, you exclaimed, 'How dare you make the prince attracted to you!' You constantly complained about others' loud steps and went into a frenzy whenever anything irritated you.

" everyone referred to you as a witch," Radia gasped and hastily apologized, "I apologize, Lady Clementine."

"im sorry i just want to give you a detailed description..but i got carried away

"It seems like many people must have wanted to drown her ," I pondered. "That could be the reason why Eriol holds such strong resentment towards her," I said softly.

"I can sense their coldness towards me. Everyone seems to despise me, even in this other life, don't they?"'

I was a spoiled and unpleasant girl who had no problem mistreating and taking advantage of other people even towards catherine who is nothing but kind to me….. Is that correct?"

'it is becauee they dont know what you are really like''radia said

but you do?

''ofcourse i do''

''i have been sevring you since we left the academy...i know that you alhave a warm kind hart and youre incredibly smart'''

"Once you've set your mind to something, you make sure to achieve it," Radia confidently stated, her cheerful tone lifting my spirits.

"You've often felt inferior to Princess Catherine," Radia continued, "that’s what you said when I asked you how you felt about it." I braced myself, expecting you to become angry, but instead, you responded with a smile and said that Princess Catherine is always doing her best and im proud of her " Radia continued, holding my hand tightly,

"Before your accident, you and Lady Catherine had a big fight. I asked you what happened, but instead of sharing with me, you kept pushing me away," Radia recounted.

A sadness appeared on her face as she continued, "I could see the pain in your eyes. You shed tears in front of me, and I knew you had been suffering all by yourself."

"It was because Eriol was openly affectionate towards another woman," she added.

"This woman wasn't always lonely after all," I whispered to myself, "She has someone who understands her."

, "This woman?"

I quickly added, "I was just saying I'm not lonely thanks to you." Radia blushed slightly, shyly responding, "You flatter me."

Frustration and annoyance gnawed at me as I grappled with my current situation. Why, out of all places, was I trapped in the body of Clementine, a woman whose life seemed to be plagued by endless drama and misfortune? It felt so unjust, as if the universe had dealt me an unfair hand.

I couldn't help but feel that I deserved better than this predicament, caught in the midst of a tangled web of someone else's tragic tale.

"Radia...just get a good night's sleep," I assured her, "I will definitely save you. Now you sleep in my bed, just in case Catherine checks on me." Radia nodded

"She's so sweet," I thought to myself as I patted her head. "I'll make sure I won't get caught for your sake," I promised

A sly grin spread across my face as I took the makeshift rope I had prepared earlier, made from blankets, and secured one end to the balustrade. I then dropped the other end of the rope over the edge and quipped,

"Well, this reminds me of Rapunzel." With a smirk, I grabbed the rope and swiftly leaped over the balcony, using the rope to descend from the castle.

I had no knowledge about the Nightshade, but I was determined to gather any information I could about it. After all, I wasn't going to find any answers locked up in the castle. So, I decided the best course of action was to sneak out and search for information elsewhere.

I cautiously dropped down to the ground, my pulse racing as I dashed through the hallway, constantly peering around to ensure no one had spotted me. Just as I thought I was in the clear, a familiar voice suddenly echoed behind me.

"I don't recall seeing you in the palace before," the voice said abruptly, causing me to freeze in my tracks. "Crap, it's Luca!" muttered under my breath. "What is he doing here?". Panic surged through me as I slowly turned around to face him.

"Looks like you're not familiar with this place," he said, his tone somewhat mocking. "Allow me to show you around, then."he offered
