"How could this happen?" Anya wondered, her fingers pressing against her temples in a desperate attempt to quell the throbbing headache that mirrored the turmoil in her mind. She cast a wary glance around the dismal prison cell, where the other inmates leered at her, their hungry eyes assessing her perfect blonde hair and pale pink gown that clung to her like a cruel joke. She was the sister of a Viscount, and today was supposed to be the day of her union with Duke Alistair Cavendish-but instead, she found herself shackled by fate and circumstance.
The thought of marrying that vile old Duke twisted her stomach into knots. Alistair Cavendish was everything she abhorred: arrogant, ruthless, and devoid of any semblance of kindness. She was supposed to be in a church, adorned in an elegant ivory gown, surrounded by love and celebration. Instead, she was trapped in a dingy cell, unjustly accused of murdering the man she despised. The irony gnawed at her, a bitter reminder that the very union meant to secure her future was now the source of her darkest nightmare. Each breath she took felt heavy with the weight of betrayal, not just from the world around her, but from the twisted fate that led her here.

The Duchesses
Aurora opens her eyes only to feel the agonising pain in her body. That is to be expected when there has been an accident. It's excruciatingly painful. Aurora groans in pain and pulls off the blanket, taking in her surroundings. It is more appropriate for a hospital interior design to look to the mediaeval era. Not shabby, but more on the extravagant side. The nurses' attire, on the other hand, appears odd. Someone said out of nowhere, "Her Grace, please wake up! Call the doctor right away!" Aurora approaches the mirror and looks at the woman with deep red eyes in it. The woman had blonde hair that, while a little messy, flowed perfectly over her shoulder. Her fair complexion lends her an ethereal appearance. Not to mention that her outfits make her look like a noblewoman from a historical series. She pinches herself, only to realise that the blonde woman staring at her is herself. A thought struck her mind, as she utters her first statement in this world, "Fuck me". Medea has finished her work, but she is still unsure how to fix all of the messes. She hasn't been herself in a long time, and it's bothering her. The throne seems so far away, and the weight of the burden grows heavier with each passing day. A letter from the Imperial Palace has arrived, instructing the Duchess to look after the House of Smith's Duchess of Light, Natalie Wilson Smith. As an evil scheme was about to unfold, she smiled wickedly. 'This is my new card.' p/s: I can't find the original owner of the photo of the cover, if you know or you are the owner of the cover.
