Goosebumps sprang up all over my body as soon as I uttered those words.

“The opportunity to live again, how could I….”

Refuse it?

Come to think of it, the voice that reached me just before I died had clearly said, ‘Do you want to disappear like this too?’

Every time I mulled over the events of that day, the term ‘too’ had seemed odd, but if what I saw and heard in my dream was true,

‘I have a proposal for you, would you like to live the life you wanted once?’

Someone had turned back time, and if Rosebelia Winters had refused to regress and proposed to me instead,

“If I accepted that proposal and came here, it makes sense.”

Then who made that proposal to Rosebelia and me in the first place?

Is that person showing me something through my dreams? No, is it even a person?

I had questions about the scenes I encountered in my dreams. But if all of that was Rosebelia’s past, someone showing me her past life, that is, life before regression…

“What’s the reason for showing it to me? Does he want me to act differently from Rosebelia?”

I let out a long breath with a sigh, and the heaviness pressing on my chest was somewhat relieved.

Despite the confusion, a strange sense of relief flowed into me, knowing that I had entered Rosebelia’s body, who had refused regression.

An additional emotion suddenly added was awe towards Rosebelia. As two conflicting emotions wrapped around me, I shuddered again.

“Excuse me, can you hear me if I say it like this? Who are you?”

I addressed the empty air, waiting for a voice to reach me, but no voice returned.

Rosebelia must have spoken to the empty air as well, right?

I quietly pulled the blanket over my head, blushing with embarrassment.

“Miss, you are truly beautiful.”

“Everyone at the party today will fall for you.”

So said Ann and the maid who came to help with my dress. I was about to say that it was embarrassing enough, but my reflection in the mirror was undeniably beautiful.

The pale peach dress matched well with Rosebelia’s white skin, and I liked the form of the dress that fully exposed the shoulder line.

“But why did you choose such a dress?”

Rosebelia had insisted on a modest dress that came up to her neck for a while. Of course, the reason she chose a nonrevealing dress was simple.

She wanted to reduce the gazes pouring on her.

“Just… I wanted to try this kind of dress after a long time.”

In my previous life, I was always sincere about dressing up. I didn’t want to deliberately choose a less pretty dress when there was one that suited me better.

“You made a good choice. Miss, you look much prettier when your white skin is revealed.”

At Ann’s words, I was about to nod my head vigorously but restrained my chin.

“Really?”

“How about this necklace?”

The necklace that Ann carefully held up to my neck was the icing on the cake. As I looked closely at the brightly shining necklace with a large jewel in the center, I searched through Rosebelia’s memories.

This seems like the necklace Rosebelia received for her birthday….

Was it a gift from Lilliana?

“It’s nice. Let’s go with this necklace.”

As Ann was putting on the necklace, I checked my reflection in the mirror one last time.

This looks perfect.

The shimmering waves rippled as I slightly twisted my body from side to side. For a moment, I had the illusion that light was bursting from my body.

“Really… I can’t take my eyes off you, Miss.”

Ann mumbled in a dazed voice.

“Thank you all. I need to go now.”

I left the room and headed straight for the banquet hall. The noise that seemed to grow as I approached the hall stopped for a moment when I entered.

“My goodness.”

“Is that Lady….”
The gazes of those gathered in groups of threes and fives, conversing, all seemed to focus on me.

“Look at Miss Winters over there.”

“It’s no exaggeration to say that she resembles the Countess in appearance.”

“I’ve seen her at banquets before, but she looks especially beautiful today.”

Rosebelia often participated in parties only to leave shortly thereafter, and I finally understood her behavior.

Once the gazes had gathered, they obstinately followed me as if they would dissect every single move I made.

“My goodness, Lady Rosebelia?”

I turned to the voice filled with a joyful tone and saw Daisy, dressed in a pink dress.

“Lady Daisy?”

Why is Daisy here…

“You look so beautiful. I thought I was blinded for a moment by the sight of you, Lady Rosebelia.”

“Are you attending the Winters’ family party?”

“Yes. I received an invitation, is there a problem?”

It’s not a problem, but in the original work…

I unintentionally began to think of the original work but quickly shook my head.

“Not at all. Thank you for coming.”

Where on earth is Edwin?

If I had known, I would have insisted Edwin come to the party.

“Lady Rosebelia? Who are you looking for?”

As I scanned the hall, Daisy blinked and asked.

“Oh, that… Kaiden.”

“Ahh, the star of tonight’s party, Lord Kaiden? I believe I saw him near the central staircase earlier.”

“I see. Then I’ll be back in a moment.”
