Adeline

I cannot help smiling as I read what is in the newspaper today. They really made it look like that I am indeed the threat in Laura's life, well they are not wrong about that and since they kept doing things like this I might as well enjoy myself here. 

Since I still cannot find someone who can help me get out of this body, I might as well enjoy myself first while searching for a way to come back. 

"Your Highness, His Majesty is requesting your presence in his office" Lyle said, I smirked and handed over the newspaper to Lyle as I stood up. 

This is the perfect time for me to take my very first step. I immediately went to his place. 

I wonder what kind of father he is to this woman. It was not that I do not know but I want to see and witness it. If this person can be any help to me or be useless. 

I stopped at the door and Lyle knocked on the door informing me of my presence, after that he opened the door, and I went inside. 

"Greetings to the Noble Sun of the Empire, His Majesty" I greeted. 

He did not even look at me and was just busy reading some files. I can help but to place a smile into my lips as I saw how this old man treating his daughter. 

I was just standing there while waiting for him to speak. Do not tell me he called me all the way here just to make me stand here? 

"When will you grow up and will stop harassing your sister?" finally after five minutes he spoke. 

I cannot help but laugh as to heard what he said. Damn! This family has some problems, I cannot believe that there is really a biased parent. 

"I can't believe that someone great as you, Your Majesty will immediately believe some rumors and even to the point that scolding your daughter. Why is that?" I scoffed and I glared at him. 

"Don't you think that you should think before you make an assumption? It has been going on since I can remember, imagine people will talk about on how a father is favorable into his mistress daughter and treating like nothing his own daughter" I saw how he throws a sharp glare at me. 

I take a step and lean towards to his ear "Since they build my reputation this much, Should I make it true?" I smiled at him and left his room. I could not help but smile as I saw how he controls his anger towards me. This is so much fun. 

"Lyle..." I called "Yes, Your Highness" I stopped and turn around to face him "Should I try conquering the throne?" Instead of answering he kneeled to the ground and placed his hand to his chest and look at me "I'm willing to be at your disposal, Your Majesty" 

I laughed and laughed; this is interesting! This is more interesting than to be back into my world. I wonder how long it will take for me to see them pleading for their life, hearing their cries. 

I went to my room and immediately studied everything. For all the history of the Empire, to the noble's family, the temple, and the commoners. 

However, there is something telling me that there is something I need to look out for and that is the missing information. 

"Adeline..." I heard someone calling my name and I looked around and found no one, I stood up when I saw that the background of my room suddenly changing into a hospital room. I saw my old teenager self-sitting on the chair beside the hospital bed and I saw my sister. 

I could not hear what they were saying but I saw myself holding a book and reading it to my sister. I saw her happily listening to what I was saying and then I walked toward myself and read the title of the book. 'Who Owns the Crown' 

I gasped as all the memories flashed into my head. The memories that I buried deep in my head, the very first person who died in my hands, Anneliese, my younger sister who were hospitalized because she was born weak. 

My parents were too busy being by her side and forgot about my existence. They had never shown any support to me. All they care about is Anneliese. All they do is scold me about doing the things that my sister cannot. 

They prohibited me from engaging myself to anyone other than to my sister. All I can remember is the hatred and resentment that I felt toward them. After the class I stayed at the hospital to be with my sister. She smiled brightly whenever she saw me and she is always happy to hear the stories that I will tell, however, I have never felt happiness or pitifulness towards her. 

I saw her as an annoyance and a hindrance in my life. She is the reason I cannot have any friends and how my parents treated me. 

I remember that she loved the novel that I brought with me the most. I was reading the book while she was listening. It was over and over every day. While I was reading the book I remembered clearly how I had emerged into the story. 

The story revolves around to the family matter story when Madeleine the labeled Villainess Princess tried to kill her sister Laura. She meets her tragic ending when she gets executed for the attempted murder of her sister. 

Now I understand what the strange feeling that I had when I read the history of the Empire is. The names that are all in the story and the names that I read and heard in this world are the same as the book. 

Which indicates only one thing, I was in Madeleine's body and inside of the novel of 'Who Owns the Crown' I will not make the mistake that Madeleine did. I will not die. 

"Highness..." I can hear a familiar voice "Your Highness" It is Lyle's voice. I opened my eyes and roamed my gaze to find Lyle, but I saw Aneira "Did you fall asleep while reading?" she asked I stand up and went to my bed. "Call Lyle" I said, and she immediately called Lyle. I instruct Aneira to leave "Is there a talk about my sister's marriage?" I remember it now, all the events that the novel brought up and who is Lyle. 

"There isn't" He replied. So it means that the story hasn't been started, the story begins when Laura get married to the Grand Duke of Dewei who is the war hero and as the marriage proceed Madeleine entered the story as she harass and do evil deeds to Laura because she's in love to the Grand Duke and want to inherit the crown. Lyle is the only person who stays loyal to Madeleine as he protects her and hides her when the emperor announces the execution of Madeleine. There is not anything said in the story why does Lyle protects Madeleine until the end. 

A very cliché story of a romance. A villain dies while the hero gets the most sweet and happy ending. 

"What if the emperor announces an Imperial Order for my execution, what will you do?" I need to know why this man does is loyal to Madeleine who does not have any power in this place. 

"I will protect and clear the way for you to hide and be safe." He plainly answered, "Why would you do that? You know my situation and position in this place so why risk your life to protect me when I can't even give anything to you." His stoic face held a familiar expression to me and on seeing that I knew the answer. 

I smiled at him and did not hear his answer because what his face said was more than an answer to me. 

His eyes and jaw were trembling. I thought he loved Madeleine, but it is more interesting than that, it is Hatred. 

I do not know the reason for his hatred because it is never mentioned in the book, but it is enough for me to even trust him. 

I stand up and lean into his ear "Abhorring someone is like waiting for the poison to be drank and waiting for that person to die..." I tapped his shoulder and looked at him 

"I am willing to be the poison" I cannot help but let out a laugh this man never disappoints me. I wonder what they have done for Lyle to abhor them. 

"How about we sleep first, let's talk tomorrow" I said, and he forbids his goodbye and leaves the room. 

I sit back in the chair and continue what I am doing before I fall asleep. Now that I know where I am, I am at the advantage, because I know that I will never be back into my world. 

There is only one reason I am here, in this body, and it is to give them the best ending in this story. 

"I will make sure that I will live to the fullest extent of happiness and amusement in this world."
