An unfavored young miss

The next morning Remi woke up shaken, out of breath and had sweat glistening on her forehead. She clearly had a nightmare but she could not remember what it was about. Could it be that in this life, she would still be unable to sleep for more than 4 hours without taking some pills first? She frowned, she really did not have time to go see a therapist every week, perhaps she should go try to purchase the pills at some local pharmacies.

It was still a little dark outside but she did not want to go back to bed, she could only sleep a little more peacefully once she got her revenge anyway. The sooner she had her revenge the better, with that thought in mind, she jumped off her bed to go take a bath.

Still unaccustomed to her new body, her cheeks flushed as she cleaned her body in the bathroom, it felt very weird to touch a young woman's body even though it was her own now. The abrupt switch up from a man to being a little girl was going to take some time to get used to. When she was done, she was disappointed to find no pants in her wardrobe, the main wife always said it was unladylike to wear pants like a man so Remi had never owned a pair of pants before.

Looking at the few dresses in the wardrobe, she frowned, the idea of walking around investigating his case in a dress didn't sit right with her at all. Having no choice, she still skimmed through the limited options, for a girl born in such a wealthy family Remi's wardrobe was pitifully lacking and most of the clothes seemed a few years old.

After trying on a couple of outfits, she finally settled down with a light green jean dress with a small black blouse on the inside. After examining herself in the full length mirror, the dress seemed pretty short and tight around her chest but it was one of the few that still fitted her so she had no choice but to take it. Walking around with it, Remi couldn't help but rub her legs together every once in a while, she felt very exposed!

'How can women walk around like this and feel comfortable?' she complained inwardly and sighed.

She made up her mind to go shopping once she got her hands on some money.

Not knowing how to fix her long hair, she unwrapped the gauze around her head and tied it in a messy bun. She also made a mental note to cut her hair short otherwise it would be troublesome to take care of it everyday.

After getting ready, she went to the kitchen and found the servants scurrying around to make breakfast, upon seeing her they froze while she just picked up 2 apples and headed for the door minding her own business. Upon reaching the door, she heard an all familiar soft and sweet voice call out to her.

"Sister ? You..you are awake" Ophelia said with a light smile gracing her lips.

When Remi met her gaze, she felt an influx of complicated emotions at the same time. This woman who was supposed to be his bride in his previous life was actually his sister now, what a twist of fate.

"Am so relieved that you are fine, but where are you going so early in the morning with our fruits?" She asked with the same sweet smile as she approached her and snatched the apples from her hands and casually took a bite.

Remi stood rooted to the ground, she really didn't know how to feel, on one hand as Orion he felt deceived, was this the same gentle and composed woman he was supposed to marry before? On the other hand as Remi, she felt unbridled rage...this woman killed her once, accident or not it was undeniable that she still killed her! And now she was acting as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened, she could not even sense a trace of remorse in her tone.

"Mother says you can't eat if you don't deserve it, tell me, what have you done except worrying everyone the past few days?" She said slyly with her eyes curved from the sweetness of the apple fruit.

"We even spent a lot money for your medical expenses you know and all you did was sleep for days." - she leaned closer to Remi, their faces only inches apart - " l know you were pretending to be unconscious to get me into trouble with father, tell me sister, did your plan work?" She whispered.

Remi's breathing became irregular, she couldn't even discern the words Ophelia had said as her mind buzzed. She subconsciously stepped backwards, her heart picked up its pace and moisture formed on her forehead.

Seeing her irregular reaction, Ophelia sneered, as expected of that useless timid sister of her's. She was quite pleased with herself with that reaction but still felt like she hasn't had enough fun yet so she provoked Remi further.

"You gave me quite the scare earlier, pretending to be dead and all, I think you didn't learn well from your lesson that day." With that said she stretched out her fair hand to pinch Remi's cheeks.

"Le-leave ...me alone" Remi muttered softly with her fists tightly clenched and her body trembling slightly.

Ophelia paused, puzzled by her abnormal behaviour but she didn't think much of it, thinking that it was only natural for Remi to fear her so excessively after she nearly killed her last time. Feeling very smug, Ophelia looked at Remi in disdain and pushed her luck.

"What was that ? I didn't quite get you little sister" Ophelia said as she fiercely pinched Remi's cheeks.

Remi had lowered her eyes earlier, otherwise Ophelia would have been able to see that the distant and hazy look in her eyes suddenly disappeared and Remi's eyes looked fierce for a moment as she reacted to the pinch.

" I said...leave me THE F**K ALONE!!" Remi screamed as reflexively delivered a roundhouse kick to Ophelia's thin waist.

"AHHHHH!!!" Ophelia screamed as she crashed to the ground.

The servants had originally ignored the two at the beginning, since they were already accustomed to the eldest young miss bullying the youngest young miss. Even after what happened to Remi last time, they still chose to ignore the confrontation between the two sisters, mostly because their first madam had already warned them to not interfere in the family matters. The meaning to her underlying words was clear 'dont save Remi if my daughter is teaching her a lesson' they were already prepared to tend to the youngest miss injuries after the eldest young miss was done with her.

Which is why they were greatly shocked to hear the screams of the eldest young miss instead, so they hurried to get to the main room. Once there, they could hardly believe the scene in front of them. Several of the servants thought they were seeing things, but even after rubbing their eyes a few times the scene did not change.

'eh ? Did the sun rise from the west today? If not...then what was up with the situation In front of them?'

The servants stood rooted to the ground not knowing what to do.

In front of them, Ophelia was laying on the ground wailing as she held her waist while Remi was standing up staring down at her. At first she was confused after she heard the scream, as her eyes cleared she realised what was going on. Her pupils shrank and she took a few steps backwards in shock.

"T-this.... It followed me ....to- to this life too?" Remi stuttered as she looked down at her shaking hands.

"Are you all waiting for me to die? Call my mother quickly!...ouch am in so much pain...catch that vermin!" Ophelia barked orders then continued to wail.

The servants were brought out of their stupor by Ophelia's words and quickly divided themselves into three groups to call madam, help the eldest young miss and catch the youngest young miss.

The ones heading for the youngest young miss looked at her apologetically, they were just following orders afterall, it was not their fault the youngest young miss was not favoured.

Seeing this, Remi didn't waste her time and quickly made a run for it, she had way more important things to do than to get involved in such petty issues. Remi's body was not fully developed yet and coupled with the fact that the kick she performed weakened her body,she felt that she was the slowest person ever at that moment, the chasing servants would surely catch up to her sooner than later.

As Orion he was a pretty athletic guy with a great amount of stamina, thinking of his well built body she felt a pang of heartache, he had worked so hard for it after all.

As they caught up to her, she skillfully out-maneuvered them with her nimble body and made it to the gate, she was already out of breath but she couldn't afford to stop.

The guard at the gate seeing so many servants chasing after her, also joined in and effortlessly caught her. No matter how much she struggled she couldn't shake off an adult man with her weak body.

She stopped her futile attempts and sighed in disappointment.

'i should really do something about this body'
