6% Lady Toni's Great Escape / Chapter 3: Celestine von Trier, You Dumbass!

Chương 3: Celestine von Trier, You Dumbass!

Yes. I transmigrated. How? I don't know how. Ask the lord. Beats me how you'd ever do that, though. I have yet to talk to him. If I did, I'd give him a piece of my mind.

Where did I transmigrate? Go back to the first chapter. Remember that recommended novel in my reader app. Yep. That one. The Princess Knight's Rival. I transmigrated in that one. Okay. I did like that novel. Loved it, in fact. That doesn't mean I want to freaking live in it. Goodness gracious!

Who did I transmigrate into? Before I answer that, let me give the owner of this body a beating first.

Celestine von Trier. The only daughter of House Trier, which is a renowned house of magic knights that the kingdom of Resse has. Her father, Marquis Claude von Trier, is known as the Protector Marquis. He was strict and just, albeit a little aloof, even to his children.

Her mother, Marchioness Carissa von Trier, was the epitome of a genteel and graceful lady, albeit a little biased to her sons. Not that she could be blamed. After all, their house was known for its great magic knights. Her husband and sons, the best examples of these said knights, gave her a bragging ticket to high society.

A daughter could not do that unless she married another renowned bachelor.

Their family name rings a bell, no? Of course, it does. It's the family name of the male lead, Carlisle von Trier. Yes. It is as you have guessed, dear readers. The host I have transmigrated into is precisely the sister of the male lead.

Don't congratulate me just yet. It's not a happy thing. No. You got it all wrong. It's a tragedy. Celestine von Trier was one of the villains. What's wrong with that, you ask? Well, it's all good and dandy that she was a villainess. I could live with that. Except for the fact that she was just a small fry. A third-rate. Nothing worth noting.

In fact, she was one of those irritating characters that I cursed endlessly at for throwing a wet blanket during the crucial romantic moments of the main protagonists. Do you get my point?

Celestine was a bro-con. She was obsessed with her brother and tried to hog his attention all the time. Well, she does that with her parents, too. But the degree that she does it with her brother is phenomenal. And this has caused their originally good relationship to go sour. It reached a point where no one in the family wanted to associate with her.

This worsened her initially meek personality. She became almost non-existent. Which made her pathetic death tragic in a pitiful way.

How did she die?

She died due to asphyxiation caused by a severe allergic reaction.

Translated into simpler words, Celestine choked to death.

The culprit? A cookie. A cookie was gifted to his brother by the female lead, Adelaide. Celestine stole said cookie, went back to her room, and ate said cookie because she did not want her brother to eat anything another girl made for him, not knowing that it was made from nuts, which she was allergic to. And the rest is history.

I was being euphemistic when I said her death was pitifully tragic. In truth, it was a pathetic death. What made it even more unfortunate was that if her grandfather, the only person who treasured Celestine, had not arrived the next day for a visit, no one would have known that she died.

Her existence in the Trier estate then has become null. Everyone did not want to see even the shadow of this irritating attention whore. Her father and mother felt shameful due to her actions, unbefitting of a young noble lady of society. Her brother could no longer tolerate her antics and stalking tendencies. Yes, even the maids did not deign to acknowledge her anymore.

So, it was not a surprise that no one knew she died before her grandfather discovered her corpse. The author, after Celestine's death, couldn't be bothered to tell what happened after. She was just a cannon fodder whose death is a mere comic relief, after all.

And I, Bai Feng Jiu, am now expected to live as that very same comic relief. I am unresigned!

"Celestine von Trier, you dumbass!" I shouted indignantly.

"A dumbass. Yes. You are quite right. That is a very apt description of me." An amused, melodious voice answered my frustrated cry.

"The f*ck?! A ghost?" My eyes widened in surprise while I looked left and right, searching for the source.

"I am not a ghost. Technically speaking, I am a soul right now. I am over here at your back, by the way." The voice answered. I turned around and was met by the very same figure I saw in the mirror before I passed out.

"Celestine von Trier." I murmured with furrowed brows. Then I scoffed before retorting.

"Aren't ghosts also souls as well? What's the difference?" Celestine giggled at my snarky question. A playful mirth was present in her jeweled eyes. Something I only saw in her childhood memories, which later faded into oblivion as she grew up.

"That is true. Well, I shall not go into the systematics of it. Even I do not know as much." She answered smilingly. I raised a brow at her.

"So, what is this situation? How come I could talk to you?" I asked neutrally, my lips pursed.

"Oh. How strange. You are awfully calm about this." She said, rubbing her cute chin in thought.


Chương 4: Prophetic Dream

"Oh. How strange. You are awfully calm about this." She said, rubbing her cute chin in thought.

"Far from that. I'm actually holding myself back from beating you up." I replied with gritted teeth. Celestine laughed. It was like tinkling little bells. It would have been pleasant to hear if it was another day, but not now when I am utterly furious.

"I see. I guess I do deserve a beating. I am the one who put you into this situation, after all. A thousand apologies would not make up for that." Her laughing face was replaced with an apologetic one. I sighed at this with an evident exasperation.

"Care to explain then?"

"You are really kind, Miss Bai Feng Jiu. No wonder so many people like you in your world." I didn't answer her compliment and waited for her to elaborate on the situation. She stared at me for a while before a forlorn smile appeared on her lips. It tugged on the strings of pity in my heart, to be honest. That's the advantage of a beauty. Everything they do just gets to you.

Annoying.

"You know my story. You know how I ended up. I saw in your memories how you cursed me and laughed when I died." She paused and turned to my horrified and guilty face. Damn... She knows about that. How awkward! She smiled teasingly at me.

"I don't blame you. Even I thought that way when I saw that future. It was a genuinely pathetic sight. But, unquestionably, I would have ended up that way had it not been for that prophetic dream." She continued solemnly.

"Prophetic dream?" I asked tentatively. Celestine nodded at me in affirmation.

"You are aware that in my world, magic exists. If you could sift through my memories even more carefully, you would realize that I am a genius in this aspect. A one-of-a-kind genius. I am not tooting my own horn with this. You would realize that soon enough." She said with an undeniable proud smile on her face. Right. Not tooting her own horn, is it? Yep. I could see that, alright.

"The Trier family is known for its magic knights capable of utilizing the elements and combining them with the Trier and Imperial swordsmanship. My elder brother Carlisle and younger brother Clarion inherited that. But my abilities, I got them from my mother's line. The Liszt Family is renowned for its expertise in arcane magic. I am adept in that aspect. But there is one more. A legacy that only my grandfather remembers to this day." Celestine paused and saw the look of intrigue on my face.

"The Liszt House has Eashen blood. One of our ancestors married someone from the East. A woman with great divination and soul powers. The ability thinned out over the years. It was a difficult magic to learn and master unless one is born with enough talent for it, after all. My grandfather is the only one from all the following generations who emerged with enough accomplishments with it. He hid it, though, for safety reasons. But it aided him in stabilizing the family and leading it into an even more prosperous era."

I nodded in understanding. "So, you're saying you are also a genius in divination and soul magic?"

"Quite," Celestine answered succinctly.

"And this is what made you have your prophetic dream? But why is it that you didn't have this dream in the novel?" I asked curiously. If she had such powers, why did she end up in that sorry state?

"I wonder... If my assumption is correct, that novel represents one possible future. What you have read is merely a possibility at this point. Except for the fact that I seem to be treading that very path, my divination magic showed this future to me as a warning. You see, Miss Bai Feng Jiu, magic is not merely a tool. It is a part of one's nature and one's self. It will always try to safeguard its being." Celestine patiently explained like an eager teacher.

'Okay. So we're having magic lessons now. Go on, Celestine-sensei. Carry on.'

Though I was thinking along those lines, I didn't voice it out. It was painfully evident in Celestine's blissful and excited expression just how much she yearned for someone who would just sit down and converse with her like we're doing now. The strings of pity in my heart were tugged again. Beauty aside, she was, in all facts, a neglected child.

"I see. So then, what's my significance in this whole situation? How did I end up in your body?" Celestine gazed at me with sorry eyes. I could feel the creeping danger when I saw that look. I thought it would devastate me, so I tried to brace myself as much as possible.

"Well, after seeing this horrid future, I became desperate. I didn't want to end up that way. So, I tried to divine a way out. But I paid a great price for it. No wonder the solution pointed to you."
