I ONLY HAVE TRICKS TO DEFEAT MY ENEMIES

BELLE’s P.O.V

“Good morning my lady.” May, my personal maid said as she pulled the curtain in my bedroom. A ray of sun hits my face, oh it’s morning again.

I greeted her back then walked to my mini table where a glass of water is put every morning.

I sat down and observed her, she’s now arranging the books that I’ve been reading since last night. She’s the one beside me the moment I open my eyes in this strange place. She takes good care of me and acts as if she’s my mother despite our two years age gap, she’s really mature for her age.

May’s also my personal tutor, I’ve learned a lot about this place with her help. At first it’s hard for me who came from another world to just wake up in a strange place, new people, new place, new environment and even the way they dress freaks me out. If you’re wondering what I’m saying, let’s go back to the day I first opened my eyes in this place…

Ouch… My back hurts…

“The...”

“-and...”

I feel like there’s someone talking but I can hear them clearly.

“I think...”

The noise is hurting my head more, what are they talking about? I tried to open my eyes a little, they’re also aching…

“My…lady…” Someone’s talking.

I force my eyes to open, I want to see what’s happening around me. At first my vision’s blurry, all I can see is a white and gray. The next thing I saw was a woman's face…

“My lady!” Her face changes as she calls for someone. Who is she calling? Why is she looking at me?

My vision became clearer and now I can see her face, she looks worried… Who is she?

“My lady! My lady is awake!” She shouted.

I tried to roam my eyes, I can’t remember coming here. Where am I?

There’s furniture that I only see in historical dramas, is it gold? How much is it worth? I tried to move my body but it hurts a lot!

The last thing I remember is I’m on my way to my house when suddenly a truck appeared out of nowhere, a beam of light appeared then people screaming in the background. Next thing I knew, I was lying on the ground and everything went black.

It’s really confusing me, so I’m not dead right? But where the heck am I?

My eyes look at the woman, I want to ask her.

“My lady, I’m glad you’re awake…” Is she referring to me?

She wipes her tears and sighs, she’s weird.

A week has passed and I can now sit and talk. I’ve learned that the woman who calls me “My Lady” is May, she is my personal maid and I’m an illegitimate daughter of a Count. My name is Belle Stefano, a 16 year-old with a weak body and an uneducated child. I’ve been living here since I was born and my personal maid is the only one who’s taking care of me, no other maids here in this mansion. Truck-kun really isekai me huh, and to a worse family too.

May thought that I’ve lost my memory because of the incident, that's why I’m behaving like that. Well, I fell into a coma for almost three months because someone put poison in my food. May found the same symptoms to what her mother had and immediately searched for herbal medicines. Thanks to that I recovered little by little.

Back to the present, I had to adjust to this strange place so I asked for books. The first time I read a book May looked shocked, girl I’m shocked too! I can read the book because it’s written the way we wrote it in my past life but of course she cannot believe it ‘cause I’m an uneducated child.

Thank God I’m an honor student in my past life.

“Self study.” Is all I said to her and shrugged.

After reading some books, that’s where I realized that I’m really in a different world. Does someone pick me up from Earth and throw me here? How about my body there, Am I dead?

There’s a lot of questions but what I’m sure of is I’m now a different person.

I’ve been neglected even before I was born, my first maid was May’s mother but she died a few years ago, thankfully her daughter was the one who replaced her. May worked here even though I’m an illegitimate daughter, she doesn’t get the salary she deserves and she does all the work night and day, see what happens to illegitimate children here in this world? It sucks for real.

Another shocking revelation for me is that my so-called parents didn’t even check me even once or ask their servants to check on me or this house, that’s why this house looks more like a haunted mansion . Thankfully May takes good care of the furniture so it doesn’t look that old.

One time when we’re taking fresh air from the veranda I asked her.

“May, can you tell me more about my family?”

She paused for a minute, unsure if she would tell me.

“Your father is Count Bourbone Schwarts, he is a well known businessman, your mother, Leonna is her mistress who works at a hotel in the city. She died giving birth to you, you have three siblings from your father but they don’t care about you.” Ouch… Was she always this savage? My family from Earth’s not like that, but I can’t tell that they really love me. I’m an orphan after all.

I’m an orphan until I reached eight years old. When I got adopted I did my best to look good and make them proud, I worked hard to be on top of my studies. They seem proud outside our house but cold when inside.

“Your father’s wife also doesn’t like you, that's why she asked your father to throw you away, but due to your father’s love for his reputation, he decided to buy you an old mansion and make you live there.”

“That house is this house?” I ask her.

She nodded and continued, “your father’s wife is Fionna Heidy Schwarts-”

“Pft!”

She turns her head and looks at me as if asking what’s wrong with me.

“HAHAHA!”

Fionna, that’s a good name! Like Shrek’s wife!

“What’s wrong my lady?”

I can’t contain my laughter, tears start to come out my eyes and my stomach starts hurting. Oh gosh…

“N-No nothing, please continue.” I said between my laughs.

She sighs.

“As I was saying, she is your father’s wife as well as…” She looks like she’s thinking.

“As well as?” I asked, raising my eyebrows.

“-as well as… your father’s wife.” She stated.
