King Joseph was forced to accept Duke Sebastian's directive. He worries that if the south's power weakens, Marques Camelon and other noble families will seize the chance to wreak havoc and usurp his position of authority. He was aware that the Astrid dukedom, which at one point ruled the empire for centuries, was where the Carlyle royal power originated.

Thus, the King publicly announced the annulment of the engagement between the crown prince and Rachel. The engagement of the crown prince and Ara Monchy Clavel was announced by the King the day after their engagement was declared invalid. The announcement of her humiliation, which caused a great uproar in the Monchy household, came to her in her senior year.

What is more surprising was that the child they supported and took care in their home betrayed their daughter Rachel. Even the influential house of Monchy can't do anything about the annulment as they knew that the order is back by the Duke of Astrid. Who would oppose the Astrid's powerful dukedom? The Astrid's holds the political and military power of the empire behind the scene.

Since Rachel believes that her lowly cousin is beneath her family's status, she didn't get along well with her. Despite being a spoiled brat, she complied with her parents' request to stop bullying Ara. She treated the latter as if she didn't exist.

After hearing about the engagement, Rachel went to the library and slapped Ara.

"Traitor! A normal person will not bite the hands that feeds you. You are something! Did you intend to steal my fiancée all along?". She kicks Ara in the stomach after slapping her once more.

When the Crown Prince saw Rachel's abusive behavior toward Ara, he slap her hard in the face.

"Presumptuous! How could you possibly harm the future crown princess's body? Your actions are treasonous. I can instruct the imperial guards to imprison you and your family for damaging the future crown princess's body".

"Prince no it's not what you think, please believe me. She did this! She seduced you and convinced you to annul our engagement. You see she's not the person you think she is".

Rachel cried so hard and pleaded with the crown prince to believe her. Her opponent is a poisonous snake.

"Guards! Grab the lady of Monchy out and make sure she will not step in the academy. Anyone who failed to follow my order will face death as their consequence". The crown prince gave a deathly stare to Rachel and carry Ara in his harms lovingly.

The crown prince has never looked at Rachel that way in the four years they have been engaged, so Rachel can't believe what she saw. Every time they spoke, he would ignore her and respond with a simple "yes" or "no." Every time she was present, he exhibited extreme disinterest on his face.

Her parents learned of her academy expulsion after she arrived back at home. She spent the entire day fasting inside her locked bedroom.

Due to the big scandal that happened in the academy, the house of Monchy received a huge backlash from the other noble families. They were avoided as if their house committed a heinous crime.

As she intends to take revenge on Ara, she asks her maid Corine to get in touch with a Sorcerer on the black market. She will not tolerate the humiliation that vile woman inflicted on her and her family.

Rachel's hatred for Ara motivates her to ask the Sorcerer for poison as she plans to kill her because she won't let her have the happiness that she took from her.

Her scheme was exposed when the agent she had paid for information revealed it to the Crown Prince. Though the witness is not that strong due to her slave status, Rachel Lily Monchy was sentence to exile due to her crime for attempting to poison the future Crown Princess.

Due to a lack of more convincing testimony from a noble witness, Rachel was spared the death penalty. Instead, she was stripped of her title as lady of Monchy and banished to the northern kingdom.

Her family's standing hasn't changed because of their wealth and influence in the southern kingdom.

'Whoa! What an intense recollection of the scene when she watched this series in her previous world.'

Okay Elsa (her real name from earth life), calm down. You were exiled not executed or your neck was chopped.

This is light punishment. The royal family gives you this exception due to your family's influence in the south.

As a result, this vessel was banished, took her own life, and she's supposed to be dead. However, this vessel is still alive because of her soul transmigration. This implies that I have the freedom to live my life as a commoner. Although I believe this to be a severe penalty for the nobility in this time and place but for me this is acceptable to live free of stress and drama until I return to my world.

I want to set my entire hair on fire when my soul transmigrates into this useless vessel. 'But no, this hair is just too gorgeous.'

What can I do with this beauty? Tsk tsk tsk, if this beauty could be teleported to my world, you would be so wealthy and well-known that all the men would be at your feet.

I have no idea what the futures hold for this unfortunate vessel because your character died in the first episode of season 2. Your death caused your mother to suffer from depression, and your father joined Marques Camelon in his uprising before being put to death on the death row.

Your brother Luther colluded with the Demon King to start a bloody war in the South, and Duke Sebastian brutally killed him for it. What a terrible outcome for the Monchy family. My death set off the chain reaction that led to the Monchy family's demise. Let's keep our spirits up and send Rachel's mother a letter.

What will I do here then? For a commoner like me, the house is pretty well maintaned and above average. It even has a garden. This reminds me of our manor in my previous world. She grinned broadly and thought of something.

Wait! I've got an idea! Why don't we establish a business here and enjoy an independent life for the time being? Now let's consider a possible business venture. How about constructing a department store here?

Since this is a post-medieval European setting with magic and manas, I'm confident that no one came up with this business concept.

Yes, let's carry that out. Corine and I will go to the center tomorrow to inquire about the conditions for starting a department store. In this era, this will be the first department store. She therefore goes to bed smiling, anticipating a better day ahead.

Corine, her personal maid sighed in relief as Rachel slept soundly. After attempting suicide in the lake, her lady underwent significant change. If she rescues her even a minute late, she is incapable of continuing to live. Her lady changed a lot from her mannerisms and words she's spouting that she hasn't heard of like OMG, BFF and LOL.

She became a sweet and kind person, and her beauty shines brighter as she no longer uses heavy makeup. Her lady is very happy these days and she found her different face reactions so cute. She can't believe that her lady wakes up from death and becomes a different person. She's no longer the previous lady that she serves who's always angry and ruthless. It seems as though she is carrying another soul inside of her.

"Perhaps you will turn out to be a good person after you come back from death." This is how Corine felt, and she was glad to see her lady return. Her lady was kind to her and treated her like a sister. I'm her BFF, just like the lady said. She gave her lady a smile and tucked the blanket around her.

The following morning, while they were in the government building waiting for the permits, she bumped into a woman with glistening blue hair.

"I'm sorry I ran into you; it was foolish of me not to look in the direction I was going."

Rachel collected the papers in the ground while sincerely giving her apologies to the lady.

"I myself also was not aware that you are there and collided with you".

The lady accepted her apology, but when Rachel looked her in the eye, she almost gasped in amazement at how stunning the woman was who she had run into. A tiny face, with sparkling ash blond-pink hair, crystal blue eyes as bright as the sky, supple red lips, and a fragile body.

When Rachel smiled, she almost gasped for air. She looks familiar. Where have I seen here?
