[Y/N] a normal teenager who just happens to read the manhwa "The Abandoned Empress" the night before has mysteriously wake up to find herself in the manhwa. She didn't die but was reincarnated through other means. Will she be able to help Carsein a...
I'm now currently crouching in the corner not meeting anyone's eyes. Not that anyone was looking at me. I could hear everyone calling out to Aristia or Tia. I knew this would happen and I knew I couldn't stop it. I'm not even that attach to this girl anyways, but why do I feel so mad at myself?
Is it because she was someone Carsein cared about even though he knew he wouldn't be liked back? Or is it because of the original [Y/N]? I can hear people calling Aristia's name with joy and relief now. But...I'm too ashamed to even look at her in the eyes. I can't even protect someone who I know the future of. How can I be sure that I'll be save in a world where I don't know what will happen to me.
Suddenly I feel warm arms hugging me and I can't help but to start crying. What is wrong with me? I usually dislike people hugging me because it's weird but...I don't dislike it at all. In fact it reminds me of my family back home. Even though my siblings and I fight till our mom beats us with her slipper. The warmth and laughter in that house is something I miss. I slowly bring my arms up and hug Aristia tears streaming down my cheeks staining her dress. Is it weird that I just know it's Aristia that's hugging me without even looking up?

"I'm fine now [Y/N]." I hear Aristia whisper into my ears as she pats my head.
I take a deep breath and nuzzled into her neck more before replying "Yeah...I'm glad".
⌠THE NEXT DAY⌡
"You're looking much better. Do you feel better now Tia?"
"Yes, I'm sorry for making you worry fath-" Aristia pause "pa..papa"
Yes, that's right I'm currently eating sweets while father is making Tia call him papa. Yep that's right I've started calling Aristia, Tia! It actually started during our bonding session yesterday, during teatime. I was asking questions of what I would do before I feel off the stupid tree. And she had told me to call her Tia since that was what I used to call her.
Anyways enough of the flashback, I took a peek at Tia just to see her already looking at me with a look. I had to hold back a laugh while looking at her face it was a little funny.
"Anyway, I'm relieved. By the way Tia, [Y/N]."
"Yes?" Tia replied. I just look up and gave a "what-is-it?" look while stuffing my face into the cupcakes on the table.
"Can you tell me what happened at the temple?" father asks.
I quickly swallow my food. "I'm afraid I don't have an answer to that question as I wasn't present at that time."
"Well..." Tia started but has a troubled look.
"While you fainted, god sent a new oracle. The royal palace was quite busy thanks to that." father started speaking. "The oracle granted you a new name. And so...the emperor wishes to see you, Aristia." father ends the sentence with that.
