Darcia! (Diana).

Inside the Empress chamber...

They were all patiently waiting for the Queen to awaken. Even though the elderly imperial doctor had assured them that it was going to be okay, they still didn't dare to move an inch from the room. Their heads were lowered before her as a sign of respect they all have for her.

They all make way on the arrival of elder prince Rowan and his daughter. Rowan deeply sighed when he saw the pale figure unconscious on the bed.

He gestured for them to leave after getting over to the side of the bed. And soon the room was empty. Only the two (Rowan and Mia) were together inside the room with Diana, who was still unconscious.

Mia's face was pale again at the sight of this. Her heart was fearing for the worst that could happen. She was thinking, what if she dies again?... Does that then mean she was going to be the one marrying off to an unknown guy?. She can't let that happen. She would rather die than witnessing herself get married to an enemy of the Kingdom.

"Fa... Father. Do you think...?".

Rowan doesn't know how to express his assurance over this worried daughter of his, he only strokes her gently on her shoulder before facing his unconscious brother's daughter.

Rowan went ahead and pressed his two fingers on her forehead. He sighed in relief after seeing that her condition isn't that of a big deal. She should wake up in no time. [Her wedding with the Lord was just in three days].

Luckily for them, the Lord doesn't know of the bride suicide attempt.

Diana unconsciously moved on the bed. It didn't take long before she opened her eyes. Actually, her body sensed some other people present inside the room with her. She doesn't know how that happened, but she could just feel it inside of her like it was something knowing and natural to her.

"Darcia!!!. You're finally awake!. I really thought I lost you again. I can't let that happen!. I don't want to get married to that freak in your place!". After realising her mistake just now, Mia covered her mouth with her hand, but that was already too late because Diana already had heard about what she just said.

Diana was first confused by the name, but what made her even more confused was the moment when she heard "Married that freak in your place". She doesn't understand what she meant by that.

Rowan hid the disappointment that he had for his nosy daughter. With the knowledge and elderly strategy that he had, Rowan tried explaining it the opposite way around to Darcia, but this Darcia isn't the same old naive young lady.

She already figured everything out in just one goal. "That means Darcia committed suicide just because of marriage?. Just how bad is the groom?. Is he perhaps worse than me?". She thought.

...

"Father. What do you think is wrong with Darcia?. Why did she send us both out of her room? She's behaving strangely, don't you think so?". Mia asked. Just a while ago when she tried explaining about the marriage to Diana, she just sent them out from her chamber.

Mia couldn't help but to wonder. The Darcia that she knew wasn't like this. As a Queen she doesn't even have full authorities of her own. Her Father was always the one helping out. She even considered Darcia as a gentle, innocent type. Who knew that she would change just overnight?.

Rowan didn't give a straight answer to Mia. He only told her that it was normal for her to behave like how she did. After all, it's really a graceful thing if she woke up from death. What more could they expect?. Rowan told his daughter, a price must be paid in return.

No matter how much Rowan explained it to Mia, she still didn't quite grab what he said. She only nodded in acknowledgement just to maintain the flow.

...

Diana was sitting back straight on the bed. She let her head relax on the bed edge. Her one hand was placed on her chin, even her brows furrowed.

With every passing minute seems like a nightmare to her. She could only wonder if all these were real. Diana loosened the hair bun, suddenly her hair scattered down behind her back and also in front of her face.

"Who did this to me?". Her face darkened at the thought of this. Diana isn't a dumb lady, so she already figured out that Karl was the one behind all of these. He must be the one that poisoned her in the hope that she dies. "That sly fox!". Her voice showed only anger and yet at the same time, it was like a melody that flows and sings right inside the ears of many.

Diana knew that now that she had transmigrated to another world, she'll have to blend in with the identity of the real host. Her beloved name Diana was now replaced as (Darcia). "What a nice name for a dark strong lady. Tsk tsk tsk. But too bad, you weren't strong enough".

Diana (Darcia) was lost in her thoughts. For the first time in her entire life she was ever troubled like this. She was lost in her thoughts but she was sure of one thing. She can't stay here at all, or even in this world.

She will definitely find her way back home and deal with that bastard that stabbed her in the back.

"There must be an explanation about this, and I'm going to find out exactly what that is!". Darcia (Diana) hand was clenched tight into a fist.

What pained her the most is that the very body that was now hers was vulnerable. How is she expected to survive in such a world with a weak body?. This thought still bothers her right till this moment. Seems like she doesn't have any other option but to start from the scratch.

Because of her great mindset, Darcia believed that everything was going to turn out just right, as the way she had planned it.

She took all the valuables inside the room and packed it up with a bag that she could find. Even though this body was weak, Darcia still has the mindset and both the strategy of Diana. (The lady Boss of Diana underground).
