How did I get here? The last thing I remember was falling asleep  
 after finishing the book: Trials Of Love. How did I become the villainess Camilla who has the same name as me?   
****************
Our female lead, Camilla used to be a very extrovert person who had many friends and was socially liked by everyone. However, after her parent's death, she was assigned to live with her Uncle and Aunt. Over time she slowly distances herself from her friends as she believes that she doesn't deserve happiness. She thought that she was the reason her parents died. Back then her parents died in a car accident when they were speeding toward the hospital where she was kept. On that very eventful morning, she had accidentally burnt her hand during food tech and was rushed straight towards the hospital. When her parents heard they too rushed over there hence they got into a car accident and eventually passed away. 

The only thing that would bring her happiness was the one book her parents left for her: Trials of Love. It talked about a young boy named Damian who grew up in poverty but eventually became the grand duke of the Thedo empire, named after the first King who founded it. Damian grew to love his housekeeper's youngest daughter, Eveline. The two had to go through many trials until they earned their happy ending. 
Of course with the occasional villainess ruining the happy pair. But who would've thought that our female lead ended up as the villainess? The character she hated the most. Camilla Rose Avery was the lost daughter of the present King and Queen. Camilla had been stolen when she was a year old by a maid. She was found by her older brother when he ran into her in an orphanage on one of his royal tours. Her love for Damian meant that she would try to kill Eveline. Because of her evil deed, she was banished to the eastern empire when Damian became the grand duke. He married Eveline and then the story closed. 
Ella transmigrates into Camilla. However, there is still time to fix everything. She will be kind to Damian in the hope that he will remember her kindness in the future. Our female lead has decided to change her destiny, so she tries very hard not to fall in love with Damian. However, the storyline seems to be changing. Why is the male lead running after the villainess this time?

The Villainess?

I've been watching Eveline ever since she entered the hall with Miss Lily-Anne. From the moment she left the hall, I also asked some of my guards to follow her. I am beyond curious to watch the next scene myself. The balcony accident happened on the last day of the masquerade ball so everything should be fine for the first two days.

"Your Highness," the guards gestured for me to take the paper. In the paper, it just noted that Eveline walked aimlessly out of the hall. She seems to be looking for someone or something. She was also clutching her heart for God knows what reason.

When she entered the room I noticed her scanning for someone and then went straight to the refreshments. Who exactly was she looking for? I soon found out she was looking for the Baroness.

"Princess, who are you looking at?" Miss Lily-Anne asked as I gestured for her to turn around. "Look it's your maid. Whose the woman next to her?" I asked. "That's Baroness Stylevanna, she just lost her daughter to measles," Lexi replied, "She's quite pitiful. But I heard rumours she's taken to drinking as she can't forget her daughter,". So this is the Baroness Stylevanna. She looks quite different from what I imagined.

"Looks like something is going on right there," muttered Ryan as we all turned to look over. It was very interesting, I walked over the crowd as everything was turning into control. "Since everything has been controlled then disperse everyone," I ordered. The music turned back on as people hit the dance floor again.

I momentarily ignored Eveline and turned to look at the people dancing. "My lady care for a dance?" Ryan asked whilst holding out his hand. I smiled and took his hand to the dance floor. As soon as the previous song finished the crowd moved out of the way for me and Ryan to pass by. He led me to the middle of the dance floor and placed one hand on my hip and another hand on my hand.

"You ready?" he asked as I nodded. The music began and we went with the flow of music. "I just realised you're my first partner of the night," I laughed whilst spinning around with the music. "I would be really glad if I was always your first partner at every event," he muttered.

My heart skipped a beat. What does he mean by that? God. Maybe I'm just thinking wrongly. Maybe his words are just something friendly. I shouldn't think much of it. Maybe I'm just overthinking.

As soon as the dance finished Ryan let go of my hand and bowed while I curtsied. He led me off the dance floor and over to where Lexi and Damian were standing. Whilst walking over I heard people whispering things about me and Ryan. "Those two look so cute together", and "The princess has excellent dance skills, the young marques lord isn't too bad either" Words like this entered my ears.

"That was an excellent dance," Lexi muttered whilst weirdly looking at me. Her expression looked like my friend's when she wanted gossip or something along those lines. Like gossip regarding men. Those expressions I've seen quite a few times already and to be honest I missed it. In my world, I had only one close friend, she was the only one who stuck with me through everything. God, I miss her. We used to gossip about all sorts of things.

As soon as we met up with Lexi she moved to me and mumbled "We have a lot to debrief about after this ball,". "Debrief what?" I questioned. "You know what," she looked at me with that sly look. "You sly old fox," I mumbled.

I finally got a chance to dance with her. And I meant every word of what I said to her. I wanted to be the first and last person to dance with her. i will make that come true.

When she danced with Damian it irritated me so much. Yet I couldn't even say anything. I think Lexi is now my new best friend. She is so right in saying Camilla and I look better when we dance together.
