Maiden walked back and forth in her small room. After a couple of days of recuperating to heal her head, she can finally get out of her bed. However, she hasn't gone so much outside of the room and chose to remain in it the entire time. She doesn't even bother to welcome the sun outside even though it's tempting her to the extreme.
When she woke up in Pheia's body back then, she tried to find in Pheia's memories who Pheia was and the people around her. Maiden is definitely confused about how to recognize herself. Whether to call herself Maiden or just accept that she is now Pheia.
She sighed while sitting at the edge of her bed and whisper to herself, God knows how many lies I tried to con just to save my real identity.
She tried to seek whether what happened to Pheia. What caused her death, where was her soul, and why was her soul is replaced, instead. Because as far as she is concerned, she is way more certain that she transmigrated into Pheia's body. Lest, the odd of science.
A moment later, she heard a knock on the door. It was probably Pheia's mother. She opens the door and came to invite a beautiful young girl instead of Pheia's mother.
The beautiful young girl has curly auburn hair and a white complexion, which seems fair though. The young girl looked at Pheia with sparkling eyes, run, and hugged her in the process.
"Pheia-sama, I missed you. I thought you died. I'm sorry it's my fault. I shouldn't have told you to get my little cat at that stupid tall tree. I'm really sorry Pheia-sama. I told my sister, Alani the truth. Like you always said "Truth can set us free." But it doesn't Pheia-sama. I just felt more guilty as Alani-sama scolded me for risking your life without even looking at your capacity to climb a tall tree with your heavy weight and...." Her eyes bulged through her eyelids as she realized she must have said something she shouldn't have.
From what Maiden hears from her long rants. Speculations are true by what she saw in Pheia's wound. She must have bumped her head with a hard thing causing some fracture in it. And due to the fact that Pheia, in heaven's sake was merely 300 pounds. The fall must be heavier than expected. More damage as well.
As Maiden scanned Pheia's body this morning. She had bruises on her butt, legs, and arms. Which should say, it's definitely a tall tree.
The girl in front of Maiden started to say she doesn't mean to actually mean Pheia's weight. Which Maiden found cute enough to forgive her. Even though she doesn't even know who the young girl was the feeling she felt for the little girl says no harm.
The little girl stayed a little longer in her room and Maiden found the least trickery of asking her, the young girl's name without her knowing. Then to her success, the young girl's name is Alira Aswel, daughter of the cook in the manor, who has been friends with Pheia's mother. Alira said also earlier that she's the sister of Alani, the one who rescued her or Pheia rather.
I will never get used to this. How am I going to call myself? Pheia? Or my real name, Maiden? Arghhh confusing me as much as it bothers the heavy fat that keeps on bouncing with me. Arghhh.. God!
Way back when Maiden was in her previous life, she was never fat yet never as thin as to see someone whose ribcages can be seen. She always trained herself together with her Uncle Brook and exercised so often that she got a much leaner physique. Although, because of her physique, she often looked fragile but she was really strong and has stamina/endurance that can surpass three men in one go.
She sighed again remembering her past life. And it was like a mental torture to her yet she has to live the life she had now. She has to live as Pheia. So the first thing she will do as Pheia is to change her physique and diet. She should return her body and trained herself again. She doesn't know what's going to come to her life in this Medieval time. So, it's better to be ready than to have the same fate as her previous life.

Alira later went home as her mother must be out of the castle soon and should have been home.
As Maiden was about to climb to bed to take a nap. She hissed as a sudden jolt of pain screeched right through her head. It's like tons of tons of pictures playing a reel through it. She shouted as more pain comes havocking her brain.
The memories of Pheia.
Pheia's mother came dashing through the door looking at her worriedly.
"What's wrong Pheia?" She asked eyeing Pheia worriedly and painfully.
"My head..... it hurts." She said as she saw twinkling stars and darkness started to envelop her
--------------
The first thing she feels when she wakes up this morning is the heavy thump of her head. Yesterday, she knew she saw visions, well, the memories of Pheia.It showed how she was, as a person. And as far as she was concerned, they are way too opposite. She's kind, she's helpful, generous, and all good characteristics of a lady. While Maiden couldn't even compare to her goodness. She can't even make good friends before. But one thing that she knew she outweighed Pheia was her confidence.Pheia was not at all confident in herself. She couldn't even take a single glance at her body without being upset. She often bowed herself in front of many people because she was so fat, even though people around her would hardly comment on it. But she still felt upset and discriminated against.Don't worry Pheia. I will bring
Today is the seventh day of Pheia's training. And still, the man has not been in his conscious state. The healers often visit him but not as much as the first consecutive days.Even though they put some spell for his healing, the healers didn't have much power to absolutely heal the man's wound. But if ever they happened to be a light attribute user, then it would be pretty easy for them to heal him. In this world, healing magic is scarce even more so are those with light attributes. Thus, the recovery period for those with illness, injury, or disease is slower than with the light attribute user using his own allex(the mana/qi affiliate in this story).But, Pheia, on the other hand, does not bother herself about those things. She doesn't bother herself about possessing any magic. She feels that what she has now is enough for her. Especially being with her mother. She knew and feels that it is her bliss. A second chance of
After realization hits Maiden, after she convinced herself that she is in an otome novel that was once written by her mother, she feels comfortable and weary at the same time. Comfortable, because this is her mom's work, imagination, and ideas. Her emotions are in here. And weary, since these specific events did not occur in the story. And it makes her worry about their safety, especially since she was the one who saves this prince.Soon after the healer left, she sensed her mother who seems to be thinking seriously."Mother, what's wrong?" her mother's worried face turns to her and then tried to smile."Nothing Pheia. It's just... I think we're in danger." She said while grabbing Pheia's hands and holding them firmly."I think keeping the Prince here can cause danger in our lives. You know how dangerous it is. We cannot afford to lose our lives just by protecting that Prince. And
Minutes, and hours passed until Maiden and her mom finished talking about the things that has happened in the past and their great resolution for this upcoming dilemma.Maiden found out that her mom, aside from being a writer, was once a military personnel. She's part of the team that rescued several people from terrorist attacks in their country before. But when she met Maiden's dad on one of her mission, they hang out and developed feelings for each other.It's just funny that her mom was the one who proposed to her dad for marriage. Well, of course, her dad agrees because if he didn't, he'd be a lump of dead meat. Her mom's coercion brings them to a prosperous marriage. She also found out that her mom didn't know that her dad is a multi-billionaire and when she did find out, she was shocked and decided to cut ties with Maiden's dad. But of course, Maiden's dad will not let it happen. It turns upside down, her mom's c
She stared at the injured prince as he continued to cough until she see some red blood in his mouth. Pheia gasped and the first thing she said was."Why are you here? You're supposed to be healing!" He glared his eyes at her as if saying "You're supposed to say THANK YOU!"Maiden then recovered herself, looked at him, and said, "Thank you for saving me."Then she walked towards the wolf who's been frozen to death and pulled out her knife that was frozen too. Even though she exerted more effort, she couldn't pull out the knife from the wolf's flesh. She struggled and even guided her feet as an anchor of strength to pull the knife but still, nothing happens. And for a while, she became frustrated and ends up stomping the frozen wolf.The Prince who had been
Pheia ran hurriedly inside the forest, not minding the twigs that left blood in her exposed skin, like the arms and thighs.She grab her knife tightly as she imagined all possible scenarios of the Prince today. Maybe he was eaten by a pack of wolves, a pack of hyenas, or even bitten by some poisonous animals.Maybe he was now paralyzed and is just waiting to be eaten alive by the beast, or worst, he was now a piece of fleshless bones scattered on the earth's grass floor.She might prefer seeing him paralyzed than just bones, at least she could watch him die... No! No! I am not an assassin anymore that enjoys killing. I am now Pheia, a virtuous young lady, who is generous, helpful, and a lively person. Besides, the prince helps me earlier so I just have to return the favor. But is it him who has paid the favor? So we're quits and even now. So why should I help him? I should have let him die. But my mother
"Do you know how worried my mother was back then, seeing you heavily injured? As if you're her child and not me? She continued to attend to you and stopped when she realized that you should not be there. And we're in danger. Do you know my mother cares about people around her here? Do you----""Can you please stop your nagging? I know, okay. So stopped." He butted in and was annoyed by Pheia's ceaseless nagging.Pheia sneered, You should be!Seeing him annoyed was a satisfaction to her, and knowing that he couldn't reason with her, the prince tsked and surrender. He climbed down very skillfully from the tree leaving Pheia there staring at his, already at the ground, self.How about my effort?"So what now? You're not going to climb down and go, or what?" He asked plainly. He look at the vines in Pheia's w
A couple of days passed since, Prince Steel escaped from Pheia's home and then, was brought back. And for these passing days, all they did was to plan for Prince Steel's escape towards House Minders.Every night since that day when Pheia found the Prince wounded inside the forest, guards of House Edame's are patrolling around the area. And was asking people for any peculiar movements.Thankfully, people around the area are all close-mouthed about the fact that the Calibers did bring someone wounded but were now gone out of their Kingdom. That--- is what they know. They do not know that the wounded man was still inside Pheia's house. But nonetheless, those people are thoughtful enough to not drag them to the issue between royalties.Now, guards heavily guarded the vicinity and the borders, that is why it took them days to plan and put things properly. Although Pheia and her mom will just send him to the border, it will still be very difficult considering the person's identity.Once Prin
