CHAPTER 2

...****************...

...HOUSE OF HERMOSILLIO...

...****************...

'Now let's think about this and try to remember what happened '

Agatha is in her room, thinking about what happened to her and how did she get back in time when she was in the age of 16 years old. She thinks that God was given her another chance to change her future, that's according to what she remembered before she woke up. She remembered that there's someone calling her name but couldn't know who it was.

"Ugh! this is harder than I thought..." Agatha seems having a hard time since she couldn't think any possibilities why Gods given her another chance, other than thinking the possibilities, she think about 'Kiara' and her schemes. "First, Mother agreed to adopt kiara, because she thought that she needs a family" Agatha's Mother and Father was out of town as of the moment, they were currently attending social gathering at the south.

*knock knock*

"Hmm? who is it?" Agatha replied.

'My lady, it is time for your lessons with Baron Yujin' it was one of the maid, informing Agatha that one of her instructors already came for the lessons, Baron Yujin Hertz.

'A newly appointed Baron at young age, He was given the title of Baron for he was able to graduate at the academy in just one year for his talents and for being smart, many of the nobles acknowledged his skills and abilities, that's one of the reason they want Baron Yujin Hertz be the tutor of their children . you may call him the young genius of the century for this. And I remembered that by the time I turned 18, Baron Yujin is already acknowledged as a chancellor and even work at the imperial palace all thanks for his creation and discoveries on such theories, especially on magic, bright future he has. Yes, magic does exist in our world, but now only few are gifted that can use magic and some are born without it, In my case, I can use magic but not that too much, which is I don't know why. Well, to Baron yujin, to think that he is only 17 years old right now, only one year apart between us...hmm...what did i do all these years? If I practice my magic, I would be great, right ? he...he... maybe I can use this opportunity since I am now get back in time? hmmm....anyways, well, I might as well ask him about something that he might know some answers, there's nothing wrong in asking some few questions, right? as if it's going to kill me, heh*shrug*' That's what Agatha been thinking so hard. without knowing that she is already got at the study room with Baron Yujin.

"wait...what if he thinks that I AM CRAZY?!"

"Don't worry My lady, I wouldn't think that way towards you"

"Wait, How did I-?"

"Even if you are 'one' I wouldn't dare to say such shameful words that would hurt my lady's feelings" he said sarcastically.

...AGATHA'S POV...

Did he said that sarcastically? Wow~ how surprising...

"So, My lady, for today's lesson-"

Given a chance to study various stuff is a very rare opportunity , not all noble lady like me would like to study like math, science and many more. For a noble lady they were given only arts and philosophy to study and have diffirent lessons for practicing how to be a wife of a noble man, That's discrimination. Hours passed by listening to yujin's lesson it is kinda refreshing to know stuff from the beginning, I mean in order to understand your real goal, you have to learn your beginnings or your basics.

"So that's the end for today"

"Finally~"

Should I ask him? or maybe not? Hmmmm what should i do???

"Is there something wrong, My lady?"

"ah? uhmm..." well, here goes nothing, I'll just ask him some few questions....

" Yujin, could you tell me something about prophecies?"

"Why would you like to know such trivial things like that?"

"Huh? ... well~ you know, just thinking out of the box, I read some book about it but still, I'm curious what would someone like you think about that, since you are young genius of the century"

Did I sound suspicious? crazy? why won't he answer me? did i make a mistake by asking him this? Oh no! what should I do?

"Thank you for your kind compliment, well,If you're talking about the Hermosillio's prophecy, I might know just a little about it."

"What? Our-?Hermosillio's prophecy?"

" Why? arent you asking about prophecies?"

"Oh yeah! haha, yeah what about it?" I didn't asked for our family's prophecy, though. Just because I remember something about that person's voice saying that 'I'm the chosen one' That's why, I'm asking about prophecies, it might relate to that, anyways might as well use this information about my family's prophecy.

" Hermosillio's prophecy, it's been a long time since I encounter that on the books or heard it to the mouth of the nobles, did you know my lady that your family's guardian was the Phoenix."

"well, i'm aware of that, since our family's crest it has crimson red phoenix on it"

"Yes, that's correct and did you know that before-"

*knock knock* in times like this, what could it be?

"Sorry for interruption, My lady. But you have to prepare for your next activity for today"

*sigh* Since I don't have any choice, I better ask him next time.

"It is a great pleasure to learn new things with you, Baron yujin. If you excuse me, I must go on now"

"The pleasure is mine, My lady" and that was our end of conversation, I am very curious to what he is about to say, to the fact that, I don't know our family has a prophecy, no one ever mention that to me, hmm...

"Eli, what could be the next activity?"

"My lady, for your next activity, Lady Jane Regondola's gathering at the Jade's villa"

"ugh~ do i have to go to her tea party?"

"Yes, My lady"

Jane Regondola the only daughter of Marquess Regondola, I am not quite fond of her because of her personality and character, even in my previous life, she's one of the type of a lady that loves to keep spreading nonsense rumor about someone, degrading people, to be exact. As far as I remembered, She even told a rumor about kiara, then I got angry to the point that I humiliated myself by protecting someone that has nothing even related to me, I was foolish that time to believe all those lies .

*knock knock*

Is the carriage already here? No, wait Eli just left awhile ago at times like this, it must be her, it's about time, I guess...

"Who is it?..."

At that very moment when the door opened, I saw a girl,that has a dark-haired color and green eyes, wearing one of my dress, colored in red with ruffles and laces and jewels around her neck and left hand. didn't even imagine that I could see this person again, I've almost forgot that 'she' is the reason why I am here, the moment she opened the door, she came to me and hugged me so tight and look at me so dearly and calling me sister but all of this affection...is fake. She is no other than Kiara Ginger, My adopted sister. As a matter of fact her physical appearance only shows that she is not part of the House of Hermosillio, because all of our ancestors even my grandfather and great-grandfather, all of them have the colored red-haired like a flames of the phoenix and eyes that yellow golden like the sun even my brothers have the same physical characteristics , the proof that we belong to the House of Hermosillio.

"Sister! Thank goodness you're still here, I'm wondering if I could accompany you to the tea party? you...know I want to learn more about the nobles since I'm-"

'Since you are a Hermosillio' is that what you are trying to say? You, Kiara Ginger, to say such shameful words even after you killed me and planning to kill my family, after all those years we shared and the love we gave to you, you just burned it just a piece of paper. Fine, let's see how long will I'm going to be your playmate, but this time, I'm going to play fair and square.

"Do as you wish" I am not the sister that you knew, I am not the Agatha that you knew in the past, I'll make sure that whatever you want to happen will not be given another chance at all. For the sake of my family.

"o-okay, I'll just wait for you at the carriage" then she left. In the past everyone knows that I love kiara so deeply and I would give her alot of affection that she need. This time will be different, I'll show how to play properly and let the game begin.

When kiara left the room, Eli got back and she was shocked to see kiara left my room, Good thing that I prepared that since I don't want to catch some attention at first, but since this will be between me and kiara, I have to make sure that people of this empire knows the true colors of kiara.

"Eli"

"Yes, My lady?"

"Could you please tell to the head butler to prepare my carriage and opened it at other side of the gate." Maybe Eli is confused to what I have requested, she isn't speaking at all.

"As you wish, My lady" Eli was smiling with delightful eyes, is she not angry?

"Eli...you."

"I know already, My lady. Even without you explaining any reasons, I'll do whatever you wish"

I was quite shocked to what Eli have said to me, Truly I don't deserve someone who have a kind heart like her. In my previous life, Eli was very silent with regards with kiara, she kept that to herself, I know the fact that she doesn't like kiara, She even told that kiara is not worthy of the name Hermosillio, We got in an argument because of that, For i loved kiara deeply in the past, I was very naive, you could say. Eli, for her, following orders and serving kiara is such a disrespectful for her family. Her family is been with our family since the beginning of our generation, for they make an oath that should never be broken no matter what, the oath which they will serve and follow their master in Hermosillio family,until it's last breath.

*knock knock*

"My lady, The carriage is here" that was the head butler knocked on my door. I stepped out of my room and went outside and ride with my carriage, what I'm riding right now is my personal carriage, unlike what kiara is riding on that was only for the maids and other workers, they only use it when they run some errands at the plaza, I was thinking on riding that since I don't want to attract some attention, But it seems like it is useful anyways. Let's see how will Kiara will act upon this one. On the way to Jade's Villa, I kept on thinking what happened on my previous life, how it was a nightmare for me, that night that still gives me fear, the fear which continues to repeat on my head, the fear that someday what happened in the past might happen again this time, I'm trembling right now, I don't know what kind of face I'm wearing right now...

"My lady, Are you alright? you're face, you look so pale, do you want to go back to the estate and take some rest?" Eli...I must not know fear, I promised to myself that this time I have to protect what I have to protect, but aside from that, I am very determined to never, ever repeat the past, whatever happened that time remains that time. And I make sure to make Kiara pay to what she have done to me and to my family.

"I'm alright, Eli. You don't have to worry about me" I smiled at Eli because I don't want to make her worry.

"Don't you worry, My lady. I'll do my best to protect you and keep you away from harm, all those who going to say bad things about you, I'll smack them at their face and I'm going to tell them that 'Who are you to say or do such things about My lady?!' " I was stunned to what she said and kinda worried to Eli because the people we're about to meet are the daughters of some nobles, thank goodness we're inside the carriage, she might get arrested for committing blasphemy. But Eli was right, I must not worry on such trivial things. On the moment that I'll step on that place, I'll show them that I am not the Agatha they knew before, I am Agatha Aglaia Hermosillio and This will be the beginning of my revenge.

...HOUSE OF HERMOSILLIO...

...****************...

...KIARA'S POV...

...****************...

'oh my, look its lady kiara coming'

'what are you even saying, she is not even a noble, why do you keep calling her 'lady'

'is it true? that she isn't officially announced?'

'you're right, she doesn't even deserve to be here'

'shhh-! she might hear you'

"Oh my, I didn't know that you maids have alot of free time to talk someone else behind their back, what would you think will happen if I'm going to tell the duke that there are workers in this estate paying to clean and do their job properly, but instead they are blabbering nonsense "

"La-Lady Kiara, we're sorry, we'll be on our way" then they run away from me like a scaredy cat, These pest! keep talking behind my back, who do you think you are? you are just a worthless piece of trash here, I am now part of Hermosillio, How dare they-!

"Sorry for interruption, My lady. But you have to prepare for your next activity for today" Is that? The Lady-in-waiting of my precious sister? what activity is she speaking? seems like my dear precious sister is done for her lessons. How frustrating it is! How could she take some lesson now with the most well know scholar in the Empire! While me, no one would dare to teach me anything! I am now part of the Hermosillio, for God's sake! they still treat me like nothing!

"Eli, what could be the next activity?"

"My lady, for your next activity, Lady Jane Regondola's gathering at the Jade's villa" Lady Jane?! isn't she the Daughter of the Marquess Regondola?! How could she have an invitation for tea party, while me I don't receive any of those! Why does she take everything?! Why does she have everything that I want!

"ugh~ do i have to go to her tea party?"

"Yes, My lady" Hmm...Since I want to go, why not go with my precious sister? and then I could use that opportunity to introduce myself at the ladies of the society by then, they will acknowledge me, praise me and no one will dares to step on me, NEVER! All I have to do is to please my dear sister to let me accompany her at the tea party and tell her that I have to know some people, since I am now a Hermosillio.

I went back to my room and dress up, all of the dresses that I have right now, they are already used dresses of her, why they couldn't buy me new dresses and besides these dresses looks so plain to look at, if I want to make an impression to those noble ladies, I should be that star of the event and I just found the perfect dress for it, I just have to make myself, presentable and refined lady of Hermosillio.

After I dressed up, I went to my sister's room, then on my way I encountered her maid, Eli. Every maid in this house bow to me to give respect, since I am now an Hermosillio she should bow down before me, Now give respect to your master, but that's what I thought, she just passed me by, how dare she! Unforgivable!!

"Hey you!"... No response at all. She didn't respond! she really getting on my nerves!

"Hey you, lowly maid! didn't I just call you or are you deaf? How could a merely maid that is deaf staying here working at the Hermosillio? you should be fired already! you don't belong here!" Then she stopped. Huh! now, apologize to me ! you should give respect to your mast-!

"Even if I'm just a maid, I am still a dignified maid that serve and follow orders to My Master, which is My lady Agatha and The Hermosillios, For I and my Family's name shared an oath to them."

"Wha-!"

"Lady Kiara, Let me share to you my family's belief 'Obey who are worthy to obey' ...Now, if you excuse me, I have to prepare the carriage that My lady is going to use, have a pleasant afternoon." Did she interpret that, I am not her master?! and did she said that I am not worthy of her obeying my orders?! Just because I am not officially announce as a young lady of this house?! Who cares about your stupid belief! she just left me here, Urgh! this makes my blood boils! just so you wait, you lowly maid, the moment that they announce my name in the high noble society, I'll be back for you and I'll be the only young lady of Hermosillio, mark my words!

After our confrontation of that maid, I went ahead already to my sister's room, if I plead to her, she won't refuse, how easy to manipulate these people into my palm.

*knock knock*

"who is it?" I knocked at her door, then I opened it and went up to her and hugged her so tight, But that's weird, whenever I hugged her like this, she will put her hand at my head and carelessly pat me, but she didn't do it. the moment I released my hugged at her, I looked at her but the way she looked at me, is it not the same as she looked at me with affection before, what is going on? no, I must not be fret, hold yourself up Kiara!

"Sister! Thank goodness you're still here, I'm wondering if I could accompany you to the tea party? you...know I want to learn more about the nobles since I'm-" why does she looked that way? Her eyes is somehow different, it's like piercing through my soul, what's with her?!

"Do as you wish" huh?... heh! I knew it, she couldn't resist my charm, I still knew she's deeply affectionate by me.

"o-okay, I'll just wait for you at the carriage" Before I left her room, I encountered her maid again, heh! hear that? I'm going to the gathering, I smirked at her like proud young lady. After that, I straight ahead to the carriage, what I notice to this carriage is very outdated and non-class carriage, I mean why does she wants to ride on this one? hmph! when I got my own carriage, I will never ride on this one, but for now let's set it aside.

I'm already inside the carriage, but still no sign of agatha, where is she?!

"Hey, Stephen!"

"Y-yes lady kiara?"

"Where is my sister? isn't she going to the tea party?"

"uhmm...lady kiara...my lady is already departed to Jade's' villa"

"What?! but isn't this the carriage that she supposed to ride?"

"y-yes but...awhile ago, I saw my lady's personal carriage, going to the other side of the gate..."

"What?! then didn't you tell me?!"

"eek!! w-we-well, you didn't ask lady kiara"

"how am i supposed to know if I'm right here inside the carriage, you rat! hurry! let's follow already!"

"y-y-yes, lady kiara"

That, bitch , What's going on inside your head agatha?! weren't you supposed to bring me with you, why are you leaving me? No, I can't let Agatha do this to me, I'll let you know who is more powerful on both of us. I cannot turn a blind eye on you to whatever you want to do, I'll be the one that will be standing on the top, not you Agatha but me!
