Sister-in-law of the Heroine in a Childcare Novel

(1st person pov)

Question: What should you do when you wake up from a coma one day and realize that the supporting villain in the book you read at some point in your previous life is 'I'?

Answer: I was dragged into putting on makeup because my fiancé was coming without time for me to wake up and think.

The only princess of the Hamastion Empire, Titania Solite Hamastion, fell from a balcony on the second floor of the palace three days ago and fell into a coma.

And she only regained consciousness today. Realizing the memories of her previous life intact.

Here's how I feel right now. I was about to die, and when I woke up, she really tasted death.

'Wow, I’m going crazy.'

I took a deep breath and looked at the mirror in front of me. It was far worse than I had expected. Either way, I was a sick woman who had just woken up from bed.

A pale face and shriveled cheeks. Blunt eyebrows. Splints on limbs that are dry like firewood... A newborn baby would be healthier than me.

I stared blankly at my left arm. On this hot summer day, with bandages wrapped around it, it felt cramped just to look at it.

'Are you telling me to wear makeup and greet my fiance after seeing this? Heartily?'

Yes, I am well aware that the significance of Titania in the imperial family is nothing other than being the 'fiancé of Duke Castrine’.

As soon as I stroked my forehead with my intact right hand, I felt a stinging pain. My forehead must have resembled the pain in my arm.

All of the members of the rose palace were sent by someone. I also know that no one cares about Titania.

But it's amazing. Are they crazy? Why should the woman who is hurt put on makeup?!

“No need to worry, Princess. You are very pretty!”

Sara, the maid in charge of my makeup, spoke.

Instead of answering, I narrowed my eyes.

Another maid, who had glanced at me as she looked at the gauze and bandages wrapped around my body, gently opened her mouth.

Her name was Mary, and she was mainly the maid who took care of my hair.

“Shall we call the priest?”

She listened to Sara as if it was a good idea.

“If you ask the Second Empress, you will be able to avoid showing shame in front of the Duke of Castrine.”

Heh, well played.

When a person rolled in bandages on this sweltering summer day to the point of sweating, they didn’t even bother calling the priest. But now that I need to meet the Duke, they mentioned that.

It was so obvious. A sign that the Duke of Castrine should never find out that Princess Titania is being neglected.

It's not that he likes Titania, it's that they don’t want to give him an excuse to criticize.

Besides, not the 1st Empress, but the 2nd Empress? I clenched my teeth flawlessly.

You guys are really cruel to Titania.

Empress Elaine never sided with Titania. It was a fact everyone knew. If I wanted her to call a priest, she would’ve told me to call one myself, or she’ll give an answer that she doesn't care.

Then the young Titania would have been hurt again.

I glanced into Natalie's eyes. She was the maid of honor who took on the role of general manager of the Rose Palace, and her attitude was simple.

So, the former Titania believed in her and treated her like a grown-up to follow, but…

“If you order, I will send someone right away.”

Natalie, who spoke dryly as if it was not up to my opinion, is a person of the First Empress.

If the second empress refuses to send priests, the first empress would be 'merciful' and have an appearance with Rayman.

That’s what she would recommend.

Titania, who was rejected by her biological mother, must have been easy to pass over by Natalie's breath that she was the only one who cared about her. In the first place, Natalie had made a fool of me by hiding the fact that the princess, me, could call a priest myself.

She just smiled emptily at me.

Everyone was waiting for my answer. I was quickly turned down by my mother, and was pressured to ask the Empress to call a priest to restore this messed up body.

Those eyes had no doubts.

Haha, do you think I'll do whatever you want?

"The duke goes to the frontlines every winter, so he sees a lot of people getting hurt and sick, right?"

The maids responded obediently.

"Yes, that's right."

“So this won’t be the first time he has ever seen a sick person like this. Is it not?"

The pupils of the maids enlarged.

Yes, I knew it was bullshit.

Although Princess Titania was a beautiful woman, she was not a beauty that stood out because she could not wash properly and was like a tortoise that always crouched over.

I said refreshingly as I fluttered in my flimsy, loose-fitting one-piece pajamas.

“Then let’s go like this!”

“Woah, Your Majesty the Princess.”

Mary's voice trembled. The eyes of Natalie, who had been holding onto her expressionless expression, trembled faintly.

"Why?"

I tilted my head. My hair, which normally would have shone brightly like the sun shining on a crystal glass, was loose and droopy.

“I’m pretty no matter what I do, so he shouldn’t hate me.”

“…”

Please taste the karma of the bullshit that you guys have been instilling in Titania.

Young Titania was truly a complete being. She wasn't properly educated, and she didn't have anyone to correct her.

Recalling that, I smiled.

Sarah interrupted hastily.

“Yes, however, Your Majesty the Princess. Didn't you say that you'd always show the side of yourself that you're not ashamed of?"

“Are you ashamed of my appearance?”

When I asked, Sarah said, "Oops!" and closed her mouth. At least, the sound of 'pretty' to the princess has been engraved on the eardrum. It was also true.

Be content with pretty things like this, don't read another book, understand your treatment and topic, and don't talk nonsense to the little duke.

“Or, you mean that Raymon doesn’t like me?!”

At this point, Natalie glanced at Mary as if she had given up. Mary also swore inwardly in her eyes and managed to put a smile on her lips, then came to me and trimmed my hair.

In fact, there was little time left. She must have already had the priest waiting in the palace of the First Empress. After she pretended to send someone to the 2nd Empress's palace, who would refuse, the merciful 1st Empress sent a priest instead!

It looked like she was trying to do that...

Then what would you say? ‘The princess says she doesn't need a priest.’

Sarah managed to clear her voice.

“Hey…the princess is also true. He'll like it when you show off a simple side like this. I said this because it is a pity that you look so beautiful even if I just fix it up a little.”

But I'm sure you said that because it was obvious that Rayman would dump me if I’m someone who was not worth looking at.

But well, it's fine. No, I'd appreciate it if he rejects me. I swore in my heart as I received minimal help in getting ready from the maids reluctantly.

‘Break off the engagement!’

The goal is to break up.

The previous Titania was miserable.

After writing letters countless times, when she meets him, she would ask why he treated her so badly. She would then get angry.

She was obsessed with chasing his every move, including all the other things she can't even put into words...

In truth, she was the perfect stalker.

I didn't think about it when I read a couple of lines in the book, but since this is now my business, I feel like I'm going to die of embarrassment.

‘…If it were me, I would just say to the royal family that we should break up the marriage.’

Reflecting on the dark history with a sad heart, I picked up a blanket.

I boldly moved forward.

"His Excellency, Duke Rayman, has arrived."

And I smiled brightly.

“Welcome, Duke Rayman.”

As if he was a moving sculpture, he was walking in a perfect state without a change in his expression...

“…”

...Then my fiancé stopped walking, as if he saw something impossible.
