The employees did not know what to do with a newborn child. It also wasn’t the right moment to ask the Archduke about it. Meryl had also been pregnant at the time when they were searching to get a nanny as soon as possible. She was on a long leave to have her child. By the time she had finished her leave and came back, her lady, the duchess Rachel had died and the baby, who knew nothing, was crying until she was breathless.

Meryl, who saw everyone washing their hands off the child, got angry and left the duchy with the crying baby in her arms. That was how Meryl became Audria’s nanny. The death of Rachel, his everything caused the Duke to lock the gates of the Duchy for more than a year, as he fell apart in his grief.

In the meantime, Audria grew up in the hands of Nanny Meryl, like a pile of ashes that was forgotten by everyone. Ever since Rachel died, the Duke has become dead inside. He was like a bird of prey that wanted to hunt with bated breath during the harsh winter that could freeze everything.

Later when the buds bloomed and the animals came out of hibernation, he still remained frozen. It was just natural that as Audria grew up, she grew to be timid and flinched at everything. The interior of the mansion was so austere and the young child had no choice but to look at it.

From the moment that Audria learnt that Rachel had died while giving birth to her, she considered that everything to be her fault. She even thought that it was wrong that she was born or that she should have died instead.

As time went by, Audria withered more and more and soon was unable to come out of her room and preferred to stay in it. Although she was still young and was not at the age to debut in society, in the aristocracy, where everyone valued the connections from childhood, children of the same age moved back and forth from each other’s families to hang out with each other.

However, Audria had no friends like that. This was what she had heard about the Duke’s youngest daughter Audria Trudy in her previous life. She still didn’t know how and why she came into this body.

According to Meryl and Yella, Audria did not come out of the bed like every other day, that day.  Because there were many such days, Meryl and Yella didn’t consider it strange. However Audria remained in the bed from morning till evening.

It was only when Meryl approached Audria to make her have her meal that she found that things were strange. The room was cold and different, so Meryl had lifted the quilt even though she knew that it was disrespectful. And found two pillows placed vertically sided by side instead of Audria who should have been there.

Soon, there was a frenzy to find Audria and shortly afterwards she was found. Audria had collapsed under the fence after she had escaped from her room. After this, Audria suffered from high fever and did not wake up. Until the moment that ‘she’ opened her eyes instead. At that moment, a hypothesis came into her head.

‘Audria Trudy was dead’. It was possible that she stopped breathing when she was suffering from high fever. And at the same time, she died and entered into her body instead.

And then she wondered ‘Then what about me? I wonder what happened to my body.’

Then maybe after she fell off a cliff, her body was drifting somewhere in the sea, hung on a rock or a branch, slowly decaying as it was and becoming the prey of beast or was found by someone else instead.

Either way, she couldn’t confirm things right then. After waking up from a high fever, if she suddenly wanted to find about a merchant who had the same name as her but no other connection whatsoever, it would be strange and surprising for everyone.

First of all, she needed to adapt to this body. From a poor and working class merchant, she had to become Audria Trudy, the abandoned daughter of the Duke, who believed that she was the cause of all misery.

After thinking of these things, she sighed. What Audria was hoping for wasn’t a wealthy family. She felt that it was good to be poor. The life she wanted to live was a contented life with her beloved family in a warm home.

However, though the world gave her the opportunity to live once again, it did not give her the opportunity to live happily with a family.

She had to live abandoned by her family again. This fact was quite dreary. Except for the fact that she was the daughter of Duke Trudy, Audria’s situation was not very good.

Though she was born as a child of the Duke, she was thrown away due to resentment and had never got everyone’s attention and care. And then she isolated herself in her room. In such a bad situation, Audria had to adapt to her new body and her circumstances where all the information she knew was based on hearsay and rumor.

She doubted that there was anything that she could do with her body. Until then, she had always stayed in her room and talked very little. It was said that she was talkative if she spoke more than one sentence a day. What could she do as such an Audria Trudy?

In retrospect…. The first time that she opened her eyes, it was really strange that she was unable to talk. Now she realized that it was because, she had not spoken for a long time before she had gotten sick, which had caused her throat to become blocked.

She spent some time thinking about the Audria Trudy who became more silent with each passing day. The more that she thought about it, the more that she felt that it didn’t make sense. She couldn’t wait to see whether she could do it? She thought that she has to somehow do it.
