After getting hit by a distracted truck driver, I thought I was finally free, finally dead. However, that all changed when I woke up in a room that was not a hospital and found out that I was the villainess of an otome game, surprise surprise, the s...

The aromatic smell of jasmine tea wafted throughout the garden as bluebirds and jays flew gracefully in the air, their wings glittering occasionally under the warm sunlight as trees and flowers covered their sight, shielding them from view. The wind blew exceptionally mildly that day as flew clouds floated into the sky. Flowers bloomed delightfully as they all rose upright, all of them appearing more lively than a child on a warm summer day.
Trees were planted only a few feet away from one another, though their leaves and branches were enough to conceal anyone below from being unpleasantly heated whenever it was warmer than usual. In the heart of this wondrous garden was a Tea Table adorned with various desserts—finger sandwiches, scones, cakes, marble balls, and of course, the tea itself.
The table was marble-made with a pure white table coating over it. However, there was only one seat near this table on which upheld the weight of a fellow woman—(Y/n) Lionheart.
Gracefully savoring her tea, (Y/n) planted down her teacup onto her saucer, bringing a dainty hand over to one pastry as she carried it up to her lips, nibbling it. 'Oh, how much I would wish to eat ordinarily, but I can't eat with them around.' Taking a side glance at the still maids that stood waiting for an order a far distance away from her, (Y/n) cried in her mind.
'Being proper is so hard!'
Letting out a restrained sigh (Y/n) placed the pastry on a napkin, losing her appetite already. Anticipating an advising human (Y/n) raised the teacup to her lips and took a sip, closing her eyes peacefully as she awaited for the man to arrive.
"My lady, a message from General Luke."
Letting her teacup go on top of her saucer (Y/n) hummed. "What does General Luke wish to disclose to me?"
"You are to await the arrival of Prince Aysima in the meeting room."
Clutching her teacup with more strength (Y/n) nodded. "I see. Is that all?"
"Yes."
"Leave. Inform my father that I have received his message and will follow his orders shortly."
"Yes, my lady. If you may excuse me."
Taking notice as the man walked away (Y/n) got up from her seat and let go of the teacup, smoothing out any wrinkles on her silk dress as she strolled away from the Tea Table, walking through the garden steps towards the door heading into the manor. With a relaxed expression on her face (Y/n) lay both of her hands on top of her dress, her head raised high with her eyes as sharp as ever.
