Oh! My Empress

"Young miss, I shall call the physician anyway. I think you are a bit muddleheaded still," Anna, who had resumed her kneeling position, got up again. She looked at her miss doing all these weird actions for no rhyme or reason. Had her miss gone mad by any chance?

"P-Physician?" Kim Su Won panicked when she heard Anna was thinking of bringing a doctor. She could not reveal herself before the public right now! She had not taken upon real Emmeline Whittemore's mannerism!

From what she remembered of the novel, the businesswoman lady had spent quite a few days just in adapting to how Emmeline Whittemore behaved. This was especially required for her, who was a crown princess candidate. What if the crown prince would hear of her weird behavior and break off the engagement? She could not let that happen, absolutely not!

"I- Anna! I am sorry. I was just so scared of drowning that day, I feel like it's a miracle that I am alive," Kin Su Won made up an excuse, making a very pitiful face. She almost face-palmed herself, how much more lame could she be?

However, the reaction she got was in complete contrast. Anna immediately sat down by the side of her miss, grabbing her hands by force, her eyes glistening with tears. "Oh miss, I apologize. It is all my fault. Let's not recall it if it pains you, okay?"

Well, as long as Kim Su Won's purpose was fulfilled. At least no doctor was coming in to check on her.

Now, the next thing was to convince this maid that she had somehow forgotten everything. And that she needed training in becoming herself.

"Anna! I need to tell you one more thing, I hope you'll help me keep it a secret," Kim Su Won acted mysteriously, putting the poor maid through a lot of emotions in one moment.

A secret? Help her miss? Of course, was that even a question? Why did it feel like her miss was about to announce something terrible though, something like a terminal illness?

"Sooo~, I think after the incident my brain was so traumatized that I have forgotten everything," Kim Su Won revealed slowly to her unsuspecting maid.

Anna, the poor girl, who was waiting for some extremely terrible news, heaved a sigh of relief. "Oh, it's just amnesia. I thought something big happened," she clasped her hands together, almost as a ceremony of joy.

Kim Su Won tilted her head. Amnesia wasn't a big thing? What was then?

"Miss ah! Even if you forgot everything, your body would remember. Don't worry, I will help you out. You remembered my name after all," Anna stoked her chest with confidence. She had a touched expression when she said the last sentence out. Even if her miss forgot everything, she still remembered her! She had already helped her miss learn everything from a young age. Anyway, she was just twelve years old kid. It was not like there was anything to be afraid of. The kids learned fast.

Moreover, her young miss was the seventh miss of the household. Although she had a luxurious castle of her own in the estate, no one really cared about her. Her own mother was busy promoting her first and second born, the second young miss and first young master of the family.

And the master of the household was busy enjoying his fortune and expanding his harem. Even at 50 years old of age, he was fathering more and more children. His two youngest concubines, both were pregnant at the moment. Anyway, she was a completely neglected child.

Even if her mannerism changed, no one would really notice. That was a relief. So, there was no harm done. Thus, Anna was quite confident. She decided to keep this information from her young miss though. If she had forgotten everything, it would be better for the poor kid to not know that her parents did not care about her.

Both the ladies in the room were busy thinking about the future plans when a grumble was heard. Kim Su Won looked at her stomach and coughed in embarrassment.

"What is in the lunch?" she asked.

Anna hit her head lightly. "My apologies miss, you must be hungry since you have not eaten anything in so long. Let me bring you chicken soup to warm you up. I will help you get ready afterwards. If you do not want a physician, it would be better for you to take a walk in the garden."

Kim Su Won nodded. She felt the body and the muscles indeed had gone stiff. Anna left as soon as she spoke, leaving her miss alone.

Kim Su Won still could not believe herself. She was just going through so much pain yesterday and today, she was in a completely different world, with a second chance at life. And it was going to be great because she was finally free from the influence of parents in her life. Having read the novel, she already knew that both her parents did not care about her at all.

Then, she would not be suffocated unnecessarily by different demands and she would be free to pursue all the hobbies she ever wanted in life, without getting scolded at every point. Since she was given a second chance, she had to take full advantage of it. Since she already knew the archaic tongue of this novel, which was actually quite different from Korean, her native tongue, she could hire teachers to teach her. She just needed to plan everything.

She took off her blanket and tried to get off the bed, only to feel dizzy and plopping back into the soft cushiony mattress. She realized she had no strength in herself at all. Well, she did not really have had anything to eat or drink for past week, of course she was bound to feel weak.

She was about to lie down in her bed when she heard a commotion outside. Someone barged into her room loudly, "Sister! Are you okay?"
