The Obsessive Duke Desires Me
Chapter 3 - Transmigration
Liana Brekker (Young)
O-Ouch...
I held my head, the sunlight blazing over my head.
Martin
This is not the time to be looking at the sun, My Lady.
At least I don't feel as hot today.
I looked forward and suddenly, my eyes went wide when I saw a man rushing towards me, a wooden sword in hand.
I flinched and waited for impact, only to open my eyes to see him standing above me, much taller than I thought he'd be.
Martin
I have delayed this training long enough for your body to fully cope with it.
Martin
To be an assassin, one must move swiftly in the shadows, unbeknownst to anyone.
Martin
They must strike powerfully in a single blow, too perfect to miss or to be parried.
What is he going on about?
Martin
That is your duty as the Young Lady of the Brekker Duchy, the heiress to the fortune and prestige that your family name carries.
Martin
You have been sent to me to train as a weapon, as an asset to the Brekker lineage.
Martin
You, Liana Brekker, shall one day become the first Duchess in history to ascend a title without a spouse.
Martin
It is my duty not to disappoint your father, the Duke.
I thought it was a dream, but after training all day with the man supposedly called Martin, my sore muscles the very next morning were indicative that this was not a dream.
I really was in the world of the novel created by Rell herself... and I had become the protagonist, my namesake, Liana Brekker.
The woman who is tortured and imprisoned before getting executed by her fiancé for "betraying" him.
After realising that this was my life, I began writing everything that I remembered from the book.
The smallest details, even the small role characters.
Everyone, I needed to remember everyone's role so that does not happen to me.
In order for the Duke not to become obsessed with me, I just needed to convince my father when the time came not to kill his mother.
I needed not to get engaged with the Prince and above all, I needed to go through with the assassin training.
As years went by and I matured, I strengthened my mind and became the weapon hidden within layers of tulle and frills.
During the day, I had tutors teach me management and etiquette and every necessity to becoming a lady of high society.
In the evenings, I was dispatched on missions and sent to gather information depending on what my father needed.
Slowly but surely, the prequel chapters of the novel were becoming less and less relevant, and the main plot of the story was fast approaching.
But there were plot-holes in Rell's story.
My father died of a heart disease when I was only 15. That part was NOT in Rell's original novel.
But instead of inheriting the title, it was passed onto my uncle with the condition that he cared for me like his own daughter.
A pretense that I quickly understood to be a way to hand me off to another master. However, unlike my father, my uncle was kind and preferred to destroy his adversaries with information, not knives.

As stated in the contract I signed when I became Duke, you're identity as my niece will only be revealed on your 18th birthday. Until then, I ask that you remain in the country house honing your crafts.
Alophos Brekker
I don't see you as a tool. You may leave at any time, Liana.
My life had already been turned upside down by my transmigration, and I've devoted years of my life training to be strong enough to protect myself.
Perhaps it's my dislike of people who quit half-way, but I don't want to stop.
And so, I became part of the information warfare that my uncle had dived head-first into and unlike my father, he never forced me to kill.
And that is how I became an assassin with a kill count of exactly zero.
