Chapter 2: Chapter 2

When I realized that I had been reborn in a novel with a tragic plot, and that there was no turning back, I had to summon all the remnants of my courage to stay sane.

Because to realize and accept what happened to me, in fact, was very difficult. It would have been easy to get depressed, but I was able to stop myself from doing so.

I would still need these powers for the upcoming battle. And for what and with what... Only the future would tell me.

Having traveled back in time ten years before the main story of Blood Camellia began, I also found myself in a completely alien world that I knew nothing about.

The Zeroth "before" and "after" Razor's takeover was a completely different kingdom that was never mentioned in the novel. Other people lived here, and there were different rules. What could we say? Life itself at this time was different from the one in which the main characters fought for justice.

Now, Zeroth was a completely peaceful state, where conflicts rarely arose, and wars even happened once in a hundred years. Leriana Ashford's time was very different from what was coming in the future.

On the one hand, I should have been happy about it. But on the other... I knew perfectly well that the worst was yet to come.

The starting point of all the tragedies that would happen to the country and the main characters would be the Royal Academy. It was there that the conflict that had arisen on the basis of love would develop into a real war.

But could I change that?

I didn't know that answer, and I was honestly afraid to think ahead.

The two days I'd spent at my family's Ashford estate had passed too quickly for me to keep track of when my father and the staff were escorting me to my train.

Henry Ashford, the current Duke and my father, was a plump man with blond hair who looked very much like the kindly fat man in fairy tales.

The Duchy of Ashford was one of the most powerful in the kingdom, and Henry had been its head for the past twenty years. Although he looked harmless on the surface, he actually had a solid core that allowed him to hold on to power for so many years.

Leriana was his only daughter, so it wasn't surprising that he loved her so dearly. Ten years later, when he received the news of Leriana's death, he could not stand it for long, and died of a broken heart just a year later.

So looking at him now, I was a little sorry that in the original story this happened to him.

The train was less than ten minutes away, and we were about to say our goodbyes. And all the while, my father was sobbing on my shoulder, because it was the first time in his life that he had let his daughter go so far and for so long.

"I can't believe it's time to say goodbye," tears blurred the man's eyes as he looked at me. "Lea, you're already so grown up. But just yesterday, I still carried you in my arms. "

Despite the fact that, in fact, we had only known each other for two days, the memories of the real Leriana involuntarily penetrated my head, and I knew in absentia that we really had a very warm relationship.

Leriana loved her father as much as he loved her.

Therefore, rather than mine, the voice of the girl herself came out of my mouth:

"Dad, you'll see. These months will pass very quickly. I will definitely come home for the holidays! "

"My daughter..." As we hugged, he squeezed me so tightly that I thought I was going to break. "Lea, be sure to text me if anything happens."

"I'll be fine," I smiled. "After all, I'm your daughter, aren't I? I can definitely take care of myself."

I was lying a little when I said that. In fact, deep down, I was shaking terribly with fear.

Before I could fully adapt to this world, I was immediately shoved into the local purgatory. That was the word I used to describe school.

Not only would I have to study subjects that I had never encountered before, but I would also find myself in the midst of future tragic events, where the flag of death would most likely be hung on me.

And who said that after death came rest?! My main difficulties were just beginning here.

As soon as my father finally let me go, I said goodbye to all the staff who had come to see me off and finally boarded the train.

This means of transportation was discovered in the kingdom, and in general, around the world, only recently, and was still considered a great rarity. Only very privileged people had access to it. Apart from the royal family, there was only one place in Zeroth that had its own train. And it was...

The Royal Academy.

The academy's train took its students back and forth several times a year.

It was very convenient. Especially since the academy itself wasn't located in the capital, and the usual carriage route was only a few days' journeys away.

When I found myself in a carriage filled with my peers from different layers of the aristocracy, I was at first confused.

I had no idea how I should behave in such a company. But I hope I don't have time to make trouble until I learn the etiquette and rules of local aristocratic communication.

Carefully ignoring the appraising stares, I quickly slipped between the compartments, looking for at least one empty one.

Fortunately, one of them was completely empty, and that was what I decided to take.

I slumped into the seat and leaned against the window, still trying to stop my knees from shaking.

As far as I knew, the journey to the Royal Academy would only take a few hours, and after that, I would definitely have to do something to protect myself from the terrible catastrophe that was coming.

The main goal of my stay in this world was to survive past twenty-seven. I decided to live a quiet and peaceful life, so as not to become a dead person in ten years.

Or, to put it simply, I decided not to meet Prince Philip and his brother in order to prevent a repeat of the tragic future described in the novel.

On the one hand, I knew that this was a bit selfish, because in this case, Leriana's children, or rather, the main characters Britney and Josh, would never be born.

But on the other side...

Wouldn't it have been better if I saved the world in the first place, and there was no need for a female lead afterward?

A lot of innocent lives were taken because of Razor's rebellion, including mine, so I decided that it would be unwise to continue following the plot of the novel.

It would probably be difficult, but I would try not to meet them.

After all, Philip and Razor would be able to live in harmony for the rest of their lives, remaining best friends, and this country would never suffer a crisis.

As for me... Unlike my previous life, which was not very rich, I was reborn as the daughter of a very well-to-do man, and now I was going to use it to the fullest.

I planned to live my whole life in a carefree way, which was quite possible with my kind father. I didn't think he would be going to insist that I ever get married.

This was exactly how perfect my plan was when it first matured in my head.

Only the most important problem remained...

How exactly could I avoid running into these two? Especially since I didn't even know what they looked like?!

In the novel, Razor was portrayed as a man of mature age, so I had no idea what he looked like in his youth. And as for Philip... I didn't know anything about him at all.

Since neither Philip nor Leriana were active characters in the novel and died before the events began, their appearance was described only by the most basic characteristics.

So all I knew was that Philip was a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes.

But these descriptions were too vague to follow.

After all, if I avoided all blonds, I would definitely be considered crazy!

This was the main problem that I had to solve.

I had to figure out their identities and deliberately avoid them until I graduated from the academy.

It was the only way for all of us to stay alive.

And while I was thinking about all this, I didn't immediately hear a knock on the door of my compartment.

"Excuse me, is this place empty?"
