* Unedit Version *

Days have passed, it was a relief that the Duchy did not received of any single invitation for gatherings. She was afraid that she can't perform her duties well if ever one has come and due to this slowly she became relax, making her mind eased up and relieve her worries.

These days all she did was to think about what should be done. She concluded that the only thing she has to do was to not make any contact with the characters involved in the story especially the main characters as they are red flag. Thankfully, the story's timeline was months away from now giving her enough time to prepare.

As she jots down in her note, she started recollecting her information on the story.

'It was at the banquet of Lady Mireille, the Marquis Owenbridge's daughter and at the same time, the niece of the Empress that the heroine has made her first appearance. She appeared like a fairy that when she smiled, she entice the hearts of many, male and female alike, and one of those captivated is the timid daughter of the Duke del Roma, Luxiana.

The lady was immediately swarmed by many people that Luxiana couldn't even take a glance at her anymore and being her timid self she does not have the confidence to approach or even push her way through the crowd that is why she has given up on meeting the fairy that time, hoping that she will be able to meet her again.

The next day, the name of the lady was made known to the public, Lady Siren, the sole daughter of the Baron Nocturne.

Many have made their commentaries on how did the Baron hide his daughter from the public.

Some says such beauty should not be kept hidden instead should have been shown to the world, yet, others especially ladies feeling insecure, couldn't hide their distaste for the lady, but Luxiana is different, she hope that someday she would be able to greet the lady whom she admired. And it seems that her wish has been heard because the next banquet she attended she have made aquaintance with the lady. It was a clumsy meeting in the garden of the royal palace that she became friends with Siren.

After months, they became so close. She liked her to the point that when Siren asked for something she would easily give it to her even if she really liked it or when she learned that Siren was in love with the Crown Prince, Alistair, whom she had feelings for, she immediately diminished that tinge of attraction she had and supported Siren fully.

She did everything for Siren that she has been called by the nobles her dog. The daughter of the empire's hero who was previously a victim of the noble's verbal abuse, became famous as a laughingstock. She did mind it but she doesn't want to let go of the only string that is making her happy, that is why she turn deaf to what they are saying to her. Even if her father told her off, she did not listen.

She proceeded in doing what she wants to do.

Her efforts in making Siren and Alistair a couple did not go in vain because not long after, the crown prince has developed feelings for Siren too.

The two became happy and she was happy for them too. She did not regret what she did because even if she did not help Siren she knows that Alistair would still fall for her.

Who wouldn't like her? She's pretty, kind, and lovely when in comparison to her, she was nothing but a plain jane. That's why she decided to give up and not to put up a fight.

Slowly, the heroine captivated her fishes, one by one.
