Before Rache can decide, she's ambushed in her bedroom by the princess' guard. Knowing how dangerous the black hearted prince of Sidera is, the princess declares she's forcing her maid to go in her place due to the maid bearing a striking resemblance to her own rare features, while the real princess goes into hiding until her parents can find a way to get untangled from Sidera's web.

The Villain's Cannon Fodder Bride

Her breath was a frozen cloud in the air as she walked.

That feeling didn't fade. That feeling that there was something - someone - watching her. She could feel it on her, feel it deep in her gut.

She could feel her heart racing in her chest. She was starting to worry.

It had to just be her imagination, she told herself firmly. Just her own fear.

There wasn't anyone else in the forest beyond the guards who were on her side.

There was no way an assassin could hope to find her out here, and even if they did, the guards would protect her.

A creepy feeling because she was out in the forest at dusk with no one visibly around.

Anyone would feel it. Anyone would get that same shivering feeling that there was something else in the woods with her, something that she couldn't see. That she couldn't find no matter how much she tried to scan the surrounding trees.

It was probably some animal or something, anyway.
