Luna, an overworked Engineer, had an unfortunate end. Her spirit, feeling wronged, fights Death for a second chance in life. Death grants her the wish, but with a catch.
She gets to live a new life in a new w...
"It is my duty, as your tutor to set you on the right path. And Lord Joshua is willing to help as well, so the best course of action is to have you accept Lord Joshua engagement proposal and head to the North. Where the Dutchess, a lady of great stature and faith will help you turn into the best lady possible." bitch finalized this stupidity with a laugh, that I wished to punch out of her face. Unfortunately, my strength was short and I needed to preserve it, so I satisfied myself, partly, with an evil side glance to her.
The bitch was crazy! I would never accept that arrangement! Neither would the Duke! When that man found out he would kill her and then march to the North to fetch me. With or without me agreeing, and no matter the consequences. It would be chaos in the Empire if the two of the greatest families fought.
She was out of all her marbles... where do these people in this book get these shitty ideas?! I mean, one would think these people would be a little smarter about this, instead, I am surrounded by evil morons!
"The archbishop Ferabiniche will be officiating the ceremony." great, another moron! "Lord Joshua is coming as well." said the bitch as she went again for the cabinet, taking something out of the first drawers. "You will just need to sign this paper."
A yellowish tainted paper appeared on her hand, and very soon she pushed it to my side of the table with a pen. In shock, I looked at her and asked myself how was this possible. To officiate a family member of a great court, they needed the Temple, the father (or any other responsible) and the royal family approval (yes I did pay some attention to those shitty classes!). Moron Fera something and moron bitch Beatrice did the first two, but not the last... ah... now I was the one being stupidy... we all know who it was.... of course.
I turned to the bitch, who stood as if she owned everything in the room, even myself and with a beaming smile said "No"
No way in hell I would sign that shit. No way in well I will go with that moron junior. Not even if the pigs went flying in the kingdom and the Emperor was a cow wearing gold. No way.
NO. FUCKING. WAY.
My refusal for sure didn't sit well with the bitch as I saw her back straighten and her smug smile vanish. What I saw next in response was cold eyes, what I felt was a sharp pain all over my cheek.
"You... evil girl. Only thinking about yourself... always! It's because of you that he cannot look at me! You poison him against me!" the lady out herself, carved her nails on my arms shaking me ferocity.
I looked at her in shock for the nerve of this idiotic, moronic shitty shit! My fault??? Who poisoned who you bitch?!
He doesn't, nor he will ever want you, you fucking moron! Not even laced with gold or if you put on a grey wig and golden lenses. NEVER!
I was on the verge of saying everything to this shitty shit, and crave my teeth on those hands, but the poison was taking its toll on me and my head was now too heavy to even look properly. However, I did recognize someone knocking and entering. One of the Templars, though I was unsure if the same one that took me to this place, as they always covered their face.
Bitch turned to him in a happy mood.
"I supposed you have come to say the archbishop has arrived, soon we will be ready. The fragrance is about to kick in her system." she told in a now more even tone.
"No, Lady Beatrice. It is not the archbishop who has arrived, it is his royal highness Prince Francis and his aide Lord Fridh." replied the Templar with a secure voice, while I noticed the bitch become eerily quiet. I was sure she was cursing under her breath at such an unfortunate visit.
On the other hand, was dancing with happiness. The fox has come! YES!
Lady moron bitch, having recovered from the shock, left in a hurry with the Templar, closing the door behind. With that, she left me alone with that nauseating smell, that infested me. I had to leave. Before it started to take a bigger toll on me. And the big window in front of me, with the vast garden close by was the alternative and the way to my escape.
I got up, as fast as my poor body allowed and went to the salvation in form of a window. Not before ripping the shit out that yellow paper. Now, at least, shitty shit didn't have a paper for me to sign.
In a big effort, I managed to reach the cabinet that was settled below the window, climbing it with heavy breaths. Checking if it was closed, I realised that Lady Beatrice was less moronic than she seemed as she had it indeed closed it, and while not hard to unlock it, it was still from my reach. So I did what my drippy brain thought was a solution for that problem. With a help of a candle holder, that sat lonely in the cabin, I managed to unlock the lock of the window by beating to the side. When I finished it, I pushed the window forward, breathing the scent of roses that alleviated my nose a little. With the sun shining on me, I leapt to the green ground.
But something must have gone wrong because what I saw next was blood. Blood on my dress, on my hands, on my shoes.
Or was it real or an illusion of that smell?

So the plan of lady Beatrice is known now.... and it is a stupid plan (hence the title XD)... But there is a reason why she thinks it's a good one. I will go there in future chapters.
Some talk of the present and future plot next (I won't spoil anything, but you don't need to read it if you like to be completely in the dark over it)

Dear readers, I hope you liked the chapter! I have been unsure today when I was editing the chapter... I understand that Lulu may seem more like a damsel in distress in this Act... I do not enjoy those plots and I do not feel very comfortable with them... but (and sorry if I am justifying too much) I feel there is a good reason why she can't do much in this act... In the first act, she went against those she could fight with, children with less power name. Here, is a ploy of adults trying to undermine children... even if she is not a child (her body is though). However, I actually understand the concerns, which is why I am addressing them!
I wanted to show that this world is pretty and that she may have money and power, yet, that can be just an illusion as she is still a child without control. And whatever help she gets, it's gonna be reciprocated.
In Act 3 she will be more in control and able to defend herself much more, but for that, she (and others too) needs this Act 2 to be able to grow and understand that are some things that name-power and money cannot guarantee. Also, I believe she needs to understand that she has weak moments too.
Sorry for the big text! I feel since Act 2 still has at least 16 chapters to end (with several different points of view besides Lulu) that I should show a little my idea.
I listen to all my readers, they are very special to me!! And I did think of changing stuff, but I wanted to see it through (the whole book) and then see what you guys say. In future edits, I could incorporate any changes that may benefit the plot.
Besides I am also growing as a writer and all your inputs and nice words help me to become better.
If you have any questions please be free to ask me! :)
