Like the nonchalant Human Embarrassment I am, I gently pushed Everly away once the hug ended. I have to admit, she's a very sweet girl, but honestly, I'm not really fond of hugs or any physical touch from random people. It just...makes me...uncomfortable.
"Is this how she repays Mistress Everly for her loyalty; by driving her away and rejecting her affection?" The servants seemed to notice me casually pushing Everly away from an embrace.
"That entitled brat should be at least more grateful the Duke continues to include her into the family!"
"Isn't that kid an outsider? She's not even the real biological daughter, yet she still holds her spoiled attitude..."
"Selfish... Greedy..."
I can hear the servants whispering about me through the slightly opened door, while Everly tried to comfort me after what had just happened to me a few hours ago...
'I didn't wish for my first day to start like this...'
I was so overwhelmed that I barely registered what Everly was saying, left dumbfounded and disoriented for a moment...
After a couple of minutes, Everly finally left the room, wishing me a proper rest to help my head heal.
'But wait, that's not what's supposed to happen!'
In the game's flashbacks, Everly DID go to Reagan's room to check on her, only for Reagan to YELL at her to leave. But this time, instead of reacting as in the game, I stayed silent and ignored Everly's concerns. I clearly didn't give a d*mn about what she was saying, even though I had been playing as her in the game... It was a small change...but a notable one...
'Huh... Here I thought the game's Canon Events would force me to replay all the scenes of the storylines, but it didn't..... I guess this world just operates differently unlike the video game.'
"Ouch... That was quite a painful fall." I touched my sore head and felt the bandage wrapped around it. Deciding to let it be, I chose to rest for a while.
'I've just woken up, and now I'm already exhausted...'

"...ɯɥꓵ"
Oh, great. I'm asleep...and dreaming. Wait- no. Lucid dreaming?
Looking around, I realized I was in an endless abyss of nothingness. To my surprise, I was still inside Reagan's body. I had expected to be in my previous life's body in this dream and.....perhaps encounter a random powerful god or spirit character (who could only talk to to me inside of my dream) like in those Isekai animes...
"Oh my~ Another one?" I jumped when I felt someone breathing near my neck. Turning around, I saw a strikingly beautiful pale woman with long, dark hair, dressed in an elegant black gown... She scrutinized me from head to toe with her glowing, snake-like eyes.
"Oh!" The mysterious woman then raised her right hand to her mouth, appearing visibly surprised.

"Yes, you're correct. Given your tone, it seems more than just a lucky guess. Reagan Spencer-Churchill is your name, isn't it? Or should I say...

She then gave me a sinister smile, one that suggested she had found another intriguing creature to amuse her.
