"My debut..?" I muttered. I forgot about that for a moment.

"Oh right....you probably don't know much of these type of things. Well at the age of fourteen, all noble ladies will make their debut into society and when you debut, you'll be able to get engaged!" The duchess paused before adding, "Oh we must get you prepared! Your already started late because of your illness, so we need to get on your studies immediately! You'll be the prettiest girl on your debut party!"

The duchess seems like a quiet person but once she starts talking to me, she doesn't seem to want to stop...

When the duchess was talking about my future, I merely smiled and nodded.

'My debut huh....'

I remember my past life's debut. My debut went well, and it was that time where the announcement of my engagement with chase was made.

Evelina is 14, and she already made her debut. I don't remember anything about her debut as no one went up to talk to her, and she didn't really stand out.

I think she wore a light blue gown, with a bow as the centerpiece. The dress was basic and too simple for a debut.

She was criticized by the other noble ladies, but I didn't feel pity for her. It's true she was ignorant, she called everyone "sister" even if they were extremely below her status.

There only two families that could match up to the royal family, it was the Bailey household and the Skyler household.

So Evelina made a fool of herself on her own debut party. I used to think she was just dumb, but now that I saw the real her, she might be doing that on purpose for some reason.

"argghhhh... whatever!"

"Miss?"

I've been reading so many books these days that my eyes hurt. But there is a reason on why I'm doing this. It's about time I make a move.

"Um miss!"

"Oh.. what is it.. Marie?"

"Miss should sleep more early as the duchess has arranged miss some tutors, so miss has to use more energy tommorow."

"Oh..she did...."

' that's a lot faster that I thought...I still have a year before my debut..but I guess the duchess must think I need to catch up on my studies'

"Marie I would like some warm water before I sleep"

"Oh! Yes of course miss!"

Marie quickly ran out of the room to get me some warm water. Soon Marie came back with my warm water.

As I was drinking the water, something came to mind.

"Is the work to hard for you Marie?"

"Um.. no? Why miss?"

"I've been thinking about getting a new maid.."

" Ah! Miss wants to replace me..!?"

"What..!? Oh no! I just thought you might need some help...and it's only appropriate I have more than one maid!"

".....so miss isn't gonna replace me...?"

"Well..of course not!"

"...yay!"

Marie who was just in tears a second ago now had a cheerful smile on her face.

"Pfft...oh Marie..."

*****

"Argghh! be quite!"

I couldn't open my eyes, I felt like I was suffocating.

Someone was screaming at me, but I couldn't reconize who the voice belonged to.

"You useless piece of crap! Can't you do anything right!?"

'who the hell is talking!?'

It felt like the grip on my neck was starting to get tighter, I felt like I was losing all my energy, then suddenly it stopped.

*****

"Ss....miss...miss!"

I opened my eyes to find myself laying on my bed with Marie by my side.

"Miss you need to wake up now or else your gonna be late!'

"Oh...uh yeah"

*****

After I finished getting ready I headed down to a study room where my teacher was waiting for me.

I opened the door to find a familiar woman with light red hair and yellow eyes.

It was countess Elvrod.

Countess Elvrod, or Melissa Elvrod became the countess ever since both her parents died in an accident during a fire.

She was 17 when she received the title of countess. Although she was quite young, she was praised for her mannerisms and is also known for her talent in embroidery and literature.

In my past life I met her when she was 19 year old, she was someone I regularly talked to in banquets.

Well it seems now she is my teacher.

"Good morning lady Angelina! I am Melissa Elvrod and I will be you manners teacher! It is a pleasure to meet you"

"It is a pleasure to meet you too Countess Elvrod, please take good care of me"

"...hmm...well it seems you already know the basics of greeting! That makes my job easier!"

The countess had a happy smile on her face, somehow she reminded me of Marie.

*****

After 3 hours of manners class, I was finally done. It was a little boring being retaught of the same things I knew, but it felt a little entertaining being taught by melissa.

I was passing the hallways and I heard whispering in one of the locked rooms.

Then I heard the door open, so I quickly hide, and the person who came out of the room shocked me.

Blonde hair and blue eyes, it was Evelina.

Evelina's expression was cold and calculative.

'What the heck was she doing!? I didn't know Evelina could have that expression...'

She soon turned to a corner and disappeared in the dark hallway.

I was confused, however I only had a couple of minutes before I had another class, so I didn't want to waste my time on Evelina.

Evelina's POV

"....."

Evelina was walking to her bedroom and she met her personal maid in the hallway.

Her personal maid followed behind her.

When Evelina entered her bedroom, she ordered her personal maid to lock the door and close the curtains.

"Argghh! Those idiots!"

Evelina was smashing vases and desk clocks.

"Miss! Please be careful you might hurt yourself!"

"......."

Evelina gave her personal maid a very cold stare and she then said with a cold voice.

"Clean it up now."

"Uh- uh yes miss!"

The maid went and bend down to clean the broken glass.

The maid was gathering the broken pieces when Evelina stepped on the maid's hand.

"Ahhhh!"

The maid's hand was pressed against sharp broken glass and started bleeding.

As the maid was shouting in pain, Evelina stepped on her hand harder, but after a while she stopped.

The maid was in tears, yet Evelina's face was emotionless and cold.

Evelina placed both her hands on the maid's face and pulled the maid's face closer to her face so the maid couldn't avoid eye contact.

Slowly Evelina's cold expression disappears and is replaced with a caring smile.

"Carol..why do you look so afraid of me..? Your making me sad... Oh no it seems your bleeding really badly... You should go get treatment."

"....i- i.........ye- yes....m-m...miss"

As soon as Evelina let go of her grip on Carol's face (the maid) Carol dashes out the room crying.

Evelina stares at the door where Carol left with her emotionless expression.

".....useless dog!"
