Luella followed Shuna out of the bedroom, lost in thought.
How long can I hide the fact that I’ve lost my memory?
But wait, do I need to hide it?
Although it was because of a strange premonition that I shouldn’t be found out, pretending as if it’s not a big secret suddenly seemed ridiculous.
“Shuna.”
So, I considered honestly revealing my situation but hesitated.
It would seem strange to suddenly say I’ve lost my memory after pretending nothing was wrong until now.
Now that it has come to this, I feel like I need to create an incident that would justify losing my memory.
Luella entered the dining room and sat at an empty dining table.
I was alone again today, just like yesterday. Is this a ghost house or something? Why am I always alone? Did everyone go on a trip?
Or do they not have a family?
Unlike yesterday, when I was in shock and confused, I became curious about everything now that I had grown a little accustomed to it.
I glanced around.
There was no hint in the paintings on the walls or the surrounding scenery to tell me what kind of family this house belonged to.
I didn’t want to, but it seemed that I would have to pretend to have amnesia in front of the maids.
Luella looked down at the soup in front of her.
“Hmm….”
But if I say I lost my memory while eating, they will think I’m crazy, right?
“Is the food not to your taste?”
Shuna asked worriedly when I just stared at the food.
“10 points extra.”
“What?”
That she can say something like that even after being scolded earlier.
Whether it’s professional pride or simply being too kind, I liked it anyway.
Luella was in a situation where she didn’t know who she was or where she was. So, she had to observe people’s behavior coldly and evaluate them to distinguish between those who could help and those who couldn’t.
Luella stared at the translucent square window that kept appearing in front of her eyes as she ate.
But what is this thing anyway?
A red horizontal line drawn in the bottom left corner and small blue circles lined up beneath it.
There was a clock in the center, and two lines of empty spaces in the bottom right corner.
I tried pressing this and that, but nothing changed. But it couldn’t be just a picture since the clock was ticking in real time.
Once again, I randomly pressed the empty spaces, and Shuna cautiously approached.
“Is your arm hurting?”
“My arm? Oh!”
Luella, pleased with the question, asked,
“You mean the spaces in the bottom right corner? Are they usually empty?”
Shuna answered with a confused expression.
“Windows?”
“The one floating in front of my eyes.”
Shuna turned pale.
“Miss, do you see something that’s not there?”
“What?”
‘Could it be that this window doesn’t appear to others?’
I hadn’t thought that it was something only visible to me, as it had been naturally in front of my eyes since I could remember.
While I was flustered, Shuna asked with a face full of worry.
“Are you not hurting anywhere? I’m worried that you might have been so shocked by this incident that you’ve hallucinated.”
“You don’t see anything in front of you?”
“I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”
Luella observed Shuna’s expression and then calmly looked down.
“I don’t see it anymore. I must have seen things overlapping because of vertigo.”
“Are you really alright?”
“Yeah.”
She calmly answered and picked up her fork.
The fact that the screen in front of her eyes was only visible to her was scary. She had to find out what this strange square window was.
But finding out about a screen that other people couldn’t see wouldn’t be easy.
I would remember about the square window when I regain my memory. I had to find out what had happened to me through others’ mouths, even if I had to reveal that I had amnesia.
The thought that I couldn’t stay like this made me hurriedly finish my meal and get up from my seat.
What should I do first?
I don’t even know what I usually do.
Yesterday, she had eaten breakfast and returned to the bedroom. Time quickly passed as she rummaged through her room, shocked by the unfamiliar environment, and by the time she collected herself, she was on her way down for lunch.
And she had prepared to go to the party at the maids’ urging.
Luella tried to recall the memories of the past few days, thinking if there was anything she could discern about her current state or the window in front of her.
But nothing came to mind.
Thus, she wondered if she might have lost her memory because of this window.
What to do?
She heaved a slight sigh and glanced around.
If she were outside, she could simply say she had lost her memory from an accident, but how could she lose her memory in such a refined and elegant dining room where there was no danger at all?
The deeper her worry, the larger her sigh grew.
“Miss?”
A puzzled voice full of curiosity came from Shuna.
Luella hastily stepped away.
Now that things had come to this, there was no other way. If an accident didn’t happen, she’d make one.
Having made up her mind, she walked confidently towards the door.
Bang.
“Miss, what are you doing here…”

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.

She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
