I apologize for confusing grammar, I have yet to learn proper grammar as English is not my first language.

"this... How am I back to the past?!"Athanasia panicked, "wait..if this is the past.. then that means I have a chance to avoid such horrific death!" Athanasia lit up, "I'll start planning now!..... I need to figure out how many years I have until then" Athanasia stood up, walking towards her door until...

The door swung open revealing an fair skinned brunette. "Princess!" "lily?" Athanasia asked "what's wrong?" "We need to get you ready! It's almost time for the ball!" Lily said “so I got sent back to where Jeannette had first appeared huh.., it's Ironic how I used to be so excited excited for this moment..“

she frowned at the thought of having to go through such humiliating moment again. "Lily, is it possible for me to not go?" Lily stared back at her shockingly, her reaction was inevitable as She, Athanasia had practically begged her to let her join the ball. "Princess, is there an particular reason on why you wish to not join the ball?" Lily stared at Athanasia with concern in her eyes

"Ah.. it's just I feel sick today.." Athanasia lied. She felt guilty for lying to lily but she really doesn't want to deal with all the stares and whispers towards her when Jeannette was introduced it was tiring.. Lily stayed silent for a moment before speaking "Ah... I see, Alright you should rest here if you feel sick I'll take care of the rest.." Lily left the room leaving Athanasia alone in her bedroom

Athanasia walked towards her desk, She picked up a pen and paper as she started plotting a plan on how to avoid her death “I need to lay low after Jeannette is introduced to avoid Rumors spreading..” She spent almost the entire day planning, She was left with three choices. Plan A. gather all the golds she could find inside the ruby palace, Plan B. Try and get revenge or C. Live quietly inside the ruby palace with Lily until she dies

Athanasia stretched as she glanced over at her window it was almost time for Lily to come in and give Athanasia her Dinner, Her usual meals in the palace were shabby, it was not fitting for a princess, but it was surely fitting for an Outcast And forgotten princess as herself

Athanasia waited for a few more minutes before hearing knocked at her door, Athanasia quickly hid the paper  containing her plans, behind her “Come in” The door swung open revealing Lily with a tray of food, She placed it down on her desk "Eat well, And how are you feeling now princess?"  Lily asked as she backed away from Athanasia "I feel a bit better now, Thank you" Athanasia picked up the spoon and fork and started eating, "That's good, Ah! right! I'm sorry princess, but I still have some work to do please eat slowly I'll come back and get the tray once I'm done, for now I'll excuse myself" Lily Left her bedroom As Athanasia nodded

After a few minutes She finished eating, She stood up from her desk And went over to her bathroom, The ruby palace was lacking maids so she had to ready her own bath,
After she took a quick bath then she puts her nightgown on and left her room, She wanted to take a walk out in the ruby palace's garden

She walked out the Palace and into the garden After a few minutes of walking, Her thoughts were filled with her plans to survive, she was so focused on her thoughts she didn't notice that she was now far away from the palace, she only noticed when she stopped walking and looked back she could no longer see the palace, she was in a place she didn't recognize, "Had I walk too far?" She asked herself looking around She ended up in the middle of a forest..

She continued walking, hoping to somehow end up at the Ruby palace again, After awhile of walking she noticed something behind a bush.. She slowly walked towards it.. she moved the bush slowly revealing a.... person? “what kind of person sleeps in the middle of the forest?” She thought as she kneeled down to get a better look of the person it seemed like They were sleeping
