Mari walks inside with a letter in hand.

"What's up?"

"You have a letter from Lady Selene..."

Lady Selene...

Where have I heard that name?

Finding me confused Mari asks, "Are you alright?"

"I am. Anyways what does it say?" I ask.

"Ah...I don't know..."

"Okay read it for me"

"Uh Duchess..."

"Yeah? I just asked you to read it for me"

I find Mari tilting her head in confusion.

"But Duchess...I can't read-", She answers.

"Oh-"

Shit, how could I forget this-

Servants of this era aren't educated enough to read or write!

"Okay I'm sorry- Just give it to me" I rub my temples.

"Yes sure," Mari hands me the letter.

As I open the letter, Mari finally states the obvious

"You are acting rather strange today..."

"Am I...?"

"Yes, when I mentioned your aunt, Lady Selene's name you acted as if you heard of a ghost! And even now, you asked me to read the letter when I haven't learnt how to..."

Fuck...How can I be so careless!?

Aunt...That's right! Selene must be Rosetta's aunt!

"Ah...it must be because I have just woken up! That is the reason why I am slightly confused hahaha..." I laugh nervously.

"Oh, that's alright. I'll be taking my leave now, let me know in case you need anything." She bows down and leaves.

What the hell man...

Mari comes off as a stupid, clumsy girl but it looks like she's quick at catching certain things, especially when it comes to Rosetta...

Which is bad, because at this rate I might end up getting caught!

I need to remember Rosetta's memories...

They come to me like flashbacks or vague dreams...

It must be because I'm new to this body...

These memories are hazy...

Just like the dream I had a while back...

I guess it was back when Rosetta's father, the former Duke was still alive.

I remember the voices in my dreams...

Rosetta voicing out her opinion in a soft yet firm voice...

"I would never be able to think of that man as my husband, father. Even if we get married, and he inherits your title as the Duke of this manor, he will never be my husband."

"Afterall no matter how shiny, imitations can never compare to real gold pieces of jewellery"

Then followed by the loud voice of her father, piercing like glass shards...

"Do not forget he's the son of my closest friend! If I have decided on your marriage with him then you will get married to him and that's final!"

How could he marry Rosetta to a disgusting man like that??
