I wish to be an empress!

"The next morning"

Winter thoughts: ( alone in the room) This room is extravagant. I always wanted to have something as vintage as this.. I can tell just looking at the red curtains and purple bed sheet that she is the daughter of the must rich and powerful family of this empire the duchy. But according to the story she is the daughter of first wife who was poisoned to death by the mistress who is now the duchess. Even if Rosanna was not aware of this..that was clearly mentioned in the story that she was a mere puppet of her step mother. She has 2 step brother one of which is 10 named Rile and the younger one Roman. Both of the step brothers despise Rossana because of her being fragile and puppet of her step mother. The Duke never looked at Rosa because she didn't have any brain and usefulness other then being finance to the illegitimate prince who is not going to rule the empire. But that prince will be the head of rebellion and rule the empire and marry the lead of the story lavender. And because of my foolishness of being jealous of her and poising the next empress I was executed by the prince. And to think the poisoning was also the work of that evil step mother marigold. I should prevent my death and get rid of this evil step mother..And get out of the way of this prince who is like a beast.

I was the head of a new start up company and the business was running smoothly.. at the young age of 26 I was recognized as a new rising power the the business world. I was really intimidating as my colleagues said and I never had interest in boys and getting married. I never want to live being a fragile girl in the shadows of men. I was building my own empire in business and now I am dead.?? And in this life I am not even the Female lead but the villainess, who is childish and died young. I will never let that happen. Let me write the future events in a diary so that I won't forget it and plan my future ahead. Every reincarnated person tries to run away from the future but I will became the empress. Even if the prince falls for the main lead, I will prove that the empire needs me as the empress.

But first let me enjoy this richness and facilities. When my parents died I was living in the slumps with my younger brother. I didn't even received clean drinking water. But later on I discovered my parents property and started the real state business and quickly climbed up the stairs. I was finally having a better life. I have a lot of property left for my younger brother and he is exceptionally well in business studies so he shall probably be fine.

From now on I am not winter I am Rosanna and I am not going to be the puppet of any one and I am not going to die young. I am the oldest daughter of this family and I am the legitimate first child. I shall be treated like the princess that I am. Lets establish an image first.

Rosanna: 'ANNE!! Annne!!' (Loudly)

Anne: (after a while)'Did you wish for my assistance Rosanna? '

Rosanna: 'first you didn't even greet your master in the morning and now you are addressing me by my name?'

Anne: 'I have always called you so young lady?'

Rosanna: 'Every one in the empire knows the how to address the one and only princess of the duchy. You dare call me by my name! '

Anne: (intimidated) 'As you wish young lady. Could you please tell me why you requested my assistance young lady?'

Rosanna: 'Where is my breakfast?'

Anne: 'You are not permitted to join the family breakfast by the duchess so you are provided with breakfast after the family breakfast is over. '

Rosanna: 'Ohh I see..that's the case. Anne prepare a dress that shows my ankles and wrists and it shall not be flowing and the distasteful pink dresses. find something moderate.' What a laugh you just didnt want the duke to notice my scars you bitch. Let me teach you a lesson.

The breakfast time is around 7 so I shall get ready quickly.

(After a while in the breakfast hall.)

Servents: 'lady Rosanna delivered a message that she will be joining the breakfast.'

Rosanna: (calm and confident with a beautiful smile) 'Greetings to the duke and the duchess may you live 100 years more. Greetings to the young masters the light of the duchy.' (Gracefully sat on the table)

Duke: (shocked by her modest dress) 'You never joined the breakfast Rosanna what changed your decision?'

Rosanna: ' I didn't want to ruin the breakfast environment due to my clumsiness and certain someone advised me not to join the breakfast.'(glancing at the duchess)

Duke: Oh. ( She looks just like her mother that's why I never want to see her face,it reminds me of her.)

Duchess: 'Whats with this behavior Rosanna? You shall have informed me earlier.'( Distressed) why is she wearing clothes that are not childish?

Rosanna: 'Pardon, my rudeness I didn't know that I shall be informing you to join our family breakfast duchess.. in fact I am also a member of the family and family shall not receive an invitation to join for something as small as breakfast..don't you think so MOTHER. '

Duchess: (cough cough) ' umm yes..you are right Rosanna you can always join the breakfast according to your liking.' (what's with this girl today?? She is confident and mocking me?? I shall teach her a lesson)

Rile:'You look good today.'(mocking).

Roman: 'Yeah you look different Rosa.'(innocent).

Duchess: 'Ohh! my hand slipped!' (pours the wine glass in Rosanna's hair by 'Mistake')

'I am sorry Rosanna it seems you shall change the dress immediately otherwise it will stain. You can join the breakfast tomorrow you can go in ur room for today.'

Rosanna: (This is exactly what I was aiming for) 'ohh my..my hair' (lifts hands to show the scars)

Duke: (shocked by the scars) 'Rosanna!! What's with the scars in ur wrists. Do you wish to ruin our family name(angry). Who gave you this scars and why is it not treated yet??!!'

Rosanna: 'Do not worry my lord, Its nothing more then the love I receive in the duchy and my maids cared for me enough not to inform you about it.'

Duke: 'Duchess what is she talking about. Did you dare harm my child for your benefit? '

Duchess: (fidgety) 'No !..no believe me duke I will never even think about such violence. '

Rosanna: I know that even if the duke didn't care about me he cares about my beauty cause he shall present me to the prince. 'Pardon my rudeness I shall change my dress. Anne please bring my breakfast in my room for today. My lord I will join the breakfast tomorrow.'

Duke: What..why is she not addressing me as father? She always cling onto me..now she is finally giving up? And why does this hurt my heart? 'Do as you wish child. I will send a doctor for your care and you can manage your maids from today onwards.'

Rile and Roman: (glancing at each other "She seems different today")

In the room:

Rosanna: Today's plan was success now let's rest and wait for the duchess to act.
