Wearing a light blue vintage style gothic dress, I looked at my current self earnestly. Patting my cheeks, I chanted few words. “Kiaria, you are now Hershey Almonds.”
Without finding out any clues on that mysterious woman, I have no option left but to take over Hershey’s position temporarily. Practicing and adjusting my mind to take the current situation could help me think clearly. For now, I am the current Hershey Almonds not Kiaria – this book’s author.
Thankfully, I had this subconscious knowledge of every corner of the place. Maybe it’s because this place is where this body has lived for twenty-two years.
Our physical appearance even has some similarity, almond shaped eyes, pale lips and an oval shaped face. In real life I have black hair and eyes with no freckles while having a Midtone-Asian complexion. The current me has sand blonde hair and light brown eyes. My current complexion was fair and I have a natural shiny straight hair. I also had to admit that the current me has a nice figure, everything seemed to be well proportioned. My freckles were not as thick as Joy so it was not so obvious, not unless one was in close range.
When I went down for lunch, the three people of the Almonds House where already seated. I could tell that all pair of eyes was focused on me. The Duke seated at the center has similar sand blonde hair to mine. He looked a little bit chubby but still pleasing to the eye. I guess the freckles where from Hershey’s mother.
“Hershey, you’re here.” The duke spoke as he noticed my gaze. “If you would really like to join us, please take a seat.” There was a hint of warning in his voice.
Oh right! From the scenario I made, Hershey never joined the table and would only cause commotion whenever she appears during meal time. This was solely because her real mother was not the woman in the dining area.
The original wife – Sugar, left the Duke after Hershey turned seven, saying she has already fulfilled her duty. The duke then remarried and wed his childhood sweetheart – Pepper, giving birth to Minte.
The woman at the Duke’s right side still looked like a young madam. She has brown hair which was styled in a simple high bun. She doesn’t wear any accessory and her dress was light colored matching her temperament well.
Finally, this woman seemed to match what I’ve written!
Pepper is extremely sweet to his son and husband and she only stayed within the house premises. In the passing, she would always try everything for Hershey to like her. She dislikes parties as she would always be a topic of discussion.
Being soft-hearted, every time Hershey made a tantrum and harasses her, she would just cry in the Duke’s arm. Once her son was targeted, she would just take Minte away after asking Hershey to hate only her. She stayed in her belief thinking that Hershey would eventually accept them in the long run.
Nodding slightly, I pressed a small smile – making Pepper all teary.
Sigh, in the book, this woman would even be implicated when Hershey helped the princess run away…
“I am sorry for startling and worrying you D-Father. I am completely fine.” After a short pause, I politely bowed down. “With Sun God’s Blessing, I finally have woken up… M-Mother, I am sorry for my wrong doings too, truly asking for your forgiveness.” I then looked at the teenage boy. “To Minte too, big sis is truly sorry.”
Looking at the surprised expression of everyone present, a small smile appeared in my face. I move towards the duke’s left side to take a seat.
Ufufu, using Sun God’s power should be justifiable for my sudden change.
I suddenly felt hungry looking at the sumptuous feast. Devouring the food in fast speed, the duke laughed merrily while Pepper worriedly advised me to slow down. I only nodded in between of wolfing down the food.
After this, I should compose myself and start to finalize my to-do tasks. First thing should be on how to address this two elder.
Noticing someone’s gaze on me, I turned my head only to find Minte, who was curiously looking at me with his big eyes, I can’t help but chuckle.
I passed him some sweet pear, I’m now fully satisfied with the meal and craving some sweet. This fruit should be considered as dessert. I am too worried that the cookies would be tasteless so I completely disregarded them.
Looking at the young kid munching down on the pear without a second thought, I truly feel happy. This would also be the first time I’m having a brother.
In real life, I only have two elder sisters. Ai, they were both married so no need to worry about them. My parents should also be fine, they were currently travelling around. Remembering them, I was suddenly hit with a timeline.
I’m supposed to move in my villa and I only have two weeks left. My parents would also be back in two months time… Hopefully, I would be able to find the culprit before two weeks have been over.
