The figures red flaming hair swayed beautifully under the moonlit night. Her beauty was overwhelming, enough to make one think that she was a goddess, that she belonged to the heavens. Her smooth luscious skin put the beauty of the red flower to shame. No mortal could compare to her splendor. It was as if everything around her dimmed a little to make way for her presence.
The red-haired beauty stood in front ofRihannanwith a deep smile.
Its been a while,Rihannan, said the beauty.
Leticia her younger sister had appeared in front of her again after six years.
Rihannanlooked at the curvaceous figure who stood close to her. She was as beautiful as everred luscious hair and big eyes rose-tinted cheeks and features that reminded one of a bloomingflower. She looked no different from the girlRihannanknew in her past life.
Rihannanstared back, eyes in disbelief.
Leticia lowered her gaze and bowed deeply.
I apologize, she said humbly, I forgot. You said never to call you by your name. Then Your Majesty. Is this fitting instead?
How did you get
Leticia smiled. An invitation. It had been quite difficult getting one, you see.
Leticia had once received the protection of her father despite her illegitimate status. But he had long passed away, never to come back in this life.
Rihannanwondered how Leticia received an invitation to Duchess Saphias banquet
Looking atRihannanscurious-filled face, Leticia laughed sweetly.
Youre probably wondering why Im here though Im not of noble blood, right? Well, the truth is Im married.
Who did you marry?
Gaith. My husbands name is GaithOlbach. You may know him as ViscountOlbach.
GaithOlbach.Rihannanhad seen that name on the guestlist before. The nameLeticiaOlbachwas written next to it as well.
Youre LeticiaOlbach?
Leticia nodded. Of course. They call me ViscountessOlbach.
But I heard the viscount remarried several years ago youd have been too young to marry back then.
Leticia smiled.
It hadnt been long since you returned, so Im sure youd be less informative about the happenings here inArundell, but I guess my speculation was wrong. Thats right. My husband remarried several years ago to the madam I was serving. After she passed away, he remarried me. It happened several months ago.
Rihannanopened her eyes wide as she looked at the red-haired beauty.
It made sense why Mrs.Cessleyknew nothing of Leticia it made sense. Mrs.Cessleywas too preoccupied with renovating the Queens Palace around that time.Rihannanfigured that shed not willingly go as far as to remember the names of the wives of the lower-ranking nobles. To Mrs.Cessley, they were but a mere speck of ants not worth mentioning.
In any case, this was completely unexpected. I didnt think youd remember me. Youd only seen my face once and that was long ago.
Leticias eyes lit up in wonder. She was genuinely curious.
Just as Leticia said,Rihannanhad only seen her face once. However, she did not know thatRihannanknew every single, every detail about her. On the surface, Leticia wore the appearance of an angel-like goddess, but the truth was that a devil awaiting to break free laid dormant inside her.
Have you been well, sister? Leticia asked once more.
Rihannanshowed signs of fluster, but her turbulent aura immediately calmed and she returned to her normal state of mind, her senses coming back.
There was no need to linger in the past nor did she need to be afraid.
The Leticia of this present life was not the daughter of a count nor a sibling who enjoyed the affection of the king. She was a simple wife married to a low ranking noble.
She was no longer the LeticiaRihannanknew but the Leticia of this present life.
