Having maxed out my Battling Skills, my fascination with magic led me to delve into Divination Magic. I had already tested it discreetly on Sally, but I was eager to explore its potential further.
After the crown prince's visit, I retreated to my room, locked the door, and prepared for my ritual. I took one of the potions I had crafted, poured it into a small bowl on my coffee table, and began meditating.
As I invoked Memory Magic, the candles I had set flickered and went out, casting the room in intermittent darkness. An intense energy surged through my fingertips as I closed my eyes and focused deeply.
"Ȼⱥꞩꞩⱥꞥđɍⱥ Ꞩꝑēꞥȼēɍ-Ȼħᵾɍȼħīłł'ꞩ ᵯēᵯꝋɍɏ..." I whispered Reagan's mother's name and, as I opened my eyes, I was met with a vision...from 6 years ago.

Cassandra Spencer-Churchill's POV:

"Idiots..." I muttered, gritting my teeth in frustration as I hid the documents under the mattress. "I'll just burn them tonight."
"No one needs to know about this..." I said to myself, heading downstairs for tea with the brat.
Reagan was born from a brief affair with someone I loved, not the Duke. When I discovered I was pregnant, I saw it as a chance to manipulate the Duke and gain his favor.
I could even use this child to become a queen someday and secure her wealth for myself.

"Ugh, Mom! I can't believe Prince Archie would choose a servant over someone like me!" Reagan exclaimed, kicking her feet under the table.
I sighed. "You need to make that boy fall for you, sweetie! Don't you want to be a queen one day? Imagine having control over an entire kingdom and living a life of luxury. Plus, you'll have a handsome prince by your side!"
"Prince Archie has such a gentle heart! Even when I make mistakes, he always forgives me. He's so charming!" Reagan blushed, twirling her silver hair with her fingers.
I need to make sure this child becomes queen soon. She doesn't need to know she's not actually related to Duke Maximilian. As long as no one finds out, I can maintain my position as Duchess.
--
I couldn't believe it! A maid's daughter had discovered the papers hidden under the mattress! Maximilian was furious, scolding me for my lies and misconduct as a duchess.
I know I made mistakes, but they won't thank me for keeping those documents hidden; about the Duke seducing a maid and fathering a child!
In my anger, I lashed out at the maid named Ana. Before I could strike her, the guards intervened, restraining me and escorting me to prison for my deceit and disgraceful behavior as a duchess.
