Armana Frauleins

"Princess, wake up. We've arrived." I heard Charles's voice.

I popped my eyes open and got up and bumped my head on the carriage roof.

Fuck my head!

"Oww!" I groaned holding the spot I just got bumped.

Charles looked at me like I was a crazy person. Understandable sir!

I got out of the carriage and saw many maids, butlers and Fiona standing on the entrance. It look really elegant. I feel special.

"Lady Armana!" Fiona held my hand suddenly. "I was waiting for you. I'm so glad you reached safely." She said with her cute face.

"I'm also pleased to meet you again, Lady Fiona." I smiled at her softly. She's like an angel.

"Lady Fiona, it is best if you address the Princess with some respectful manners like a real lady would." Charles said harshly.

Right. He was also rude to Fiona in the novel because he hated someone who wasn't rightful and dutiful.

"It's alright. I prefer it that way. I will feel comfortable if Lady Fiona calls me by my name." I looked at Fiona who's eyes filled with tears.

"Lady Armana is such a kind hearted woman." She said. "Thank you." then she looked at Charles with a sad face but it didn't work on Charles because he was looking at me.

I'm sorry Fiona because this man is literally testing me with every movements I make. I should be the one crying in the corner!

Charles signalled the maids and butler and they all bowed to me and said, "Welcome to the Royal Palace of the North." They all said in rhythm.

Everything is really well managed here. I love that.

"Thank you all." I said loudly and smiled.

They all looked at me surprisingly again. This may take some time to adjust but alright.

"You may take some rest now. For today only, Astraà will help you with everything but from tomorrow you'll have your own maids, princess." Charles informed. He is really a well maintained guy.

He introduced me to a old aged woman who's hair was brown mixed with grey. She had wrinkles on his face which already proves how long she had worked here.

I smiled at the lady but she didn't say anything. She just looked down as if she was forced to serve me.

"I thank you for your great hospitality, Sir Charles. Thanks to you I still haven't found discomfort ever since I arrived." I smiled like a lady would.

I have to show him I'm worth it.

He stared at me for a few moments then nodded, "Please feel free to come to me when you need something." He said. "I shall take my leave now."

I nodded and he left without looking back. He walked like a noble would. He is really a gentleman I see unlike my husband...

It's awkwardly silent because Astraà isn't saying anything so am I.

"How long have you been working here, Astraá?" I asked trying to make a conversation.

She looked at me like I was the most annoying person she ever met, "I started working way before His Highness was born." She still replied as she was forced to.

Should I continue? Because I really have nothing to do. "So you must know all the things Lorenzo likes or dislikes right?"

She gave me a look then nodded.

"Then please help me win his heart." I chuckled and she cringed. Obviously, I would've done the same. But my only goal right now is to show how much I love and care for Lorenzo because that's the only way I can overcome my lies.

"I would like to take a bath before Lorenzo calls for me. Can I?" I asked politely.

"That won't be necessary, Your Highness. Because, His Highness will never plan to call you." She smirked, making me feel like a fool desperately in love.

If you don't want to treat me right, at least pretend to. How long do I have to live like this? It's been only few months since I reincarnated and I'm already at my limit.

"But I'd still want to bath, Astraá." I gave her a big smile and she hesitated.

"I'll prepare the bath for you." She said calmly and left the room.

_

"Ahh, it feels great!" I squealed my the warm water touching my body.

I told Astraá to go because it would be really awkward if she keeps on watching me. But as far as I can predict, she is here to spy on me. Probably Charles or Lorenzo set her up with me to spy on me.

This is worse than my previous life. At least I had something to do but here, all a princess do is, eat, sleep, walk, kind gestures etc.

In my previous life, my boyfriend cheated on me with some girl even he doesn't know of and I never planned to get married with someone I don't love. Steven and I were planning after he gets a decent job but he was always the playboy kind. Funny of me to think, I could change him.

No woman can change any man. This should be written somewhere so people knows.

Knock. Knock.

I hear the door knocking as soon as I got out of the bathroom. Apparently, Astraá said she would be here but she's nowhere to be seen. This world doesn't even have a hair dryer which means I'll have to go to sleep with my hair wet.

Knock. Knock.

Fuck. I almost forgot.

"Come in!" I said loudly.

A small cute head popped out from the door, "Lady Armana...I-I mean princess Armana, may I come in?" Fiona said.

"Please come in, Lady Fiona." She came inside and closed the door, "And you are allowed to call me anything."

"But Charles said..." She was on her way to speak but I sighed.

"Forget what he said. It is his duty to maintain formalities. But I'm the one giving you the permission isn't it?" I smiled.

Her face lit up, "You're really kind, Armana!" She put her hands together.

First name basis? Alright. I thought she'll call me Lady Armana but I guess it's fine.

"I'm sure you're much kinder, Fiona." I said smiling sweetly.
