The Two-Faced Duchess

Vol. 1: Duchess of Another World, Chapter 3

"Am I the Duchess?" she said the word out loud with a flushed face.

The man and the maids whom were around looked at her with such confusion.

"Really? What in the world is going on?" she mumbled silently to herself.

The man became even worried upon seeing her pale face. He looked up at her and asked, "Are you really okay Her Majesty?"

[ How in the world should I respond to that? I think I'm a duchess so ... how should I act in front of them? Ughh!! I don't know anymore. Let's just think all about this tomorrow. For now let's get the hell out of this situation first ]

Doesn't know what to do, she acted like she's in serious pain ( With all of the cuts around her body, of course she's really in deep pain. Just that she's used in having such wounds. ) and said, "The duke! My husband! Huhu!" she placed both of hands in her face and faked a cry. She even teared up.

She took a peek and the man becamw flustersd and started panicking as he doesn't know how to calm her down.

[ A duchess crying. They can't do anything but to worry right? ]

It's not her intention but she caught a glimpse behind the man and saw some disdainful eyes fixed towards her. She can't help but pondered.

[ Is the owner's body being disrespected by her subjects? Isn't duchess a high position just like a prime minister? Why are their gazes like that? It's so provoking. ]

Trying to console her pitiful state, the sudden commotion upstairs caused the entire mansion in distress. One of the knights who rushed upstairs shouted, "Butler Ian! It's bad! The duke, His Majesty ...!"

The man who were a butler named Ian, jolted up in an instant and anxiously said, "What happened to His Majesty?!" his eyes widen and his lips began to quiver.

The knight lowered his head, "His Majesty is ... dead" with such despair.

Hearing those words as signal, she immediately acted her part. She also jolted out of her seat and with a stuttered voice; she speaked, "What?! Is it true?! Is His Majesty ... really ... dead?!"

Acting in despair, she cried herself out and faked a faint. Trying to feigned everything she heard, she began her impromptu act.

"No ...! It can't be!" she took a step forward and knelt on the floor. "His Majesty ... is dead?" after that sentence, shw slowly leaned her body sideways and slowly closed her eyes as she faked a faint.

The voice of the butler loudly entered her ears. He was really worried but there's nothing that she can do. With her eyes closed, she can hear rushed footsteps and panicked voices from her surrounding.

[ I don't also really understand what is happening. Sorry but ... this is all I can do for now. ]

And while she's pretending to be unconscious, she really did sleep soon after. Probably because of fatigue.

After a few days, she woke up and slowly rose from the bed. Feeling fazed and confused, she fixed her bedhair and wiped her drool as she blinked her dry eyes several times.

The reality didn't struck her yet. She thought that she went back to Earth and assumed that she's in a hospital.

"Am I back to Earth? What a weird dream" what slipped her mouth as she rubbed her eyes.

Fully awaked, the evidence of being in another world were laid properly in front of her. Feeling dejected, "Ah ... So I'm still here huh?" she was disappointed.

Right after waking up, she assessed the whole room and the unbelievable situation that she's in.

The room was in full red wallpaper. The bed was king sized. The carpets looked expensive and everything in the room were fancy and luxurious.
