Karen tremblingly looked at her father's serious face, gritting her teeth with hatred as she gazed at the smirk on her enemies' faces.
Then she shouted with unwillingness, "It's not fair, Father. You're biased. I didn't push her, she did it herself. She framed me!"
Lara, dressed in a stunning gown that matched her eye color, spoke with authority, "How dare you twist the truth, Karen!"
Bystander 1 chimed in, "We all saw it with our own eyes."
Bystander 2 added, "Yeah, we saw you push the third miss. Nobody here is blind."
Karen in desperation, "Father, believe me, it's her scheme. It was not me."
Count Herot, with anger in his voice, said, "Enough with your lies. Guards, throw this woman out of the mansion gates."
"No! No, Father, it wasn't me!" Karen screamed as the guards dragged her away.
As days went by, In the slum area, old and worn buildings are common, and on its walls, traces of time can visibly be seen on its walls.
In a secluded passageway, karen is laying on the ground surrounded by three individuals with white and darker skin tones and thin body shape. They were beating and kicking her without stopping.
"Oh my, the Famous Daughter of Count Herot, oh no, my mistake, the Fake Daughter of Count Herot." A man with darker skin tone, black eyes and hair said. His thin physique makes him easy to mess with.
"Someone help..help..me.." Karen said as she struggled to drag herself forward but a sudden stomp of her back, pinned her to the ground.
"Nobody will come to save you because nobody likes an arrogant and ungrateful daughter like you!" After he said that, the white skin man with brown hair and eyes, removed his foot on karen back.
Then he added, "I heard, before and after your identity was discovered, your father gives you many chances to change your ways but you ignored it because you thought you would be a noble lady forever as they always give in to you."
"Do you recognize us, Eldest Miss, hahahha..." A white skin man with brown hair and blue eyes said.
"We are the commoners you humiliated, branded by you as a thief just because we return your fallen broach." The man with dark skin tone, black hair and eyes said.
The man with blue eyes looked at her crawling on the ground, struggling to move forward, and said, "Because of your cruelty, our sister died."
"We kindly return your broach but you repay us with death." The man with brown hair and eyes looked at her pitiful look and thought in his mind. If others do not know her past deeds and saw her struggling on the ground. They will definitely think that she's pitiful but for us, it's not enough to wash her crimes. The way she beat our sister with no mercy and ordered her guards to beat us. She deserves no mercy or forgiveness.
"All the people staying in this area, hate you so much. There will be more of this.." The man with dark skin said as they walked away, leaving karen on the ground, with no pity or regret doing that to her but satisfaction for avenging their dead sister that died young at the age of six because of her.
Karen looked at the trio distant back with hatred, she cursed them in her mind and vowed to get even.
I remembered them, they are, the disgusting and dirty commoners, I encountered while shopping , four months ago.
A dirty and smelly girl, in front of me, handed my lost broach. The nerve of her, smiling while touching my expensive broach with her dirty filthy hands. She deserves her death.
Karen weakly stood up, then slowly walked on an unsteady pace towards her rented house with blazing determination of revenge.
Crossing the road to another street, a carriage suddenly hit her, she fell to the ground, then lost consciousness.
On a dark and smelly dungeon, karen with chains on her hands woke up with a surprised look and a panic emotion was growing inside her.
Outside the iron bars, she saw a man sitting on the chair, his face cannot be seen completely as it was veiled by the darkness but a hint of familiarity can be felt.
Not anymore, if I knew the truth early on, I wouldn't be a slave of you, I wouldn't have done many things that defile my principles. I am a fool for not recognizing my savior." The man said with regret and self blame.
"You're nothing but a fool." Karen looked at him.
Then the man, walked towards her cell door and opened it. He stopped in front of her and grip her chin with hatred. Unveiled by the dim light, his handsome face can be seen, smooth white skin with no pores visible, blond hair like the dazzling sun and blue eyes like the sapphire skies, his mature yet angelic face can charm many women within a mile.
His appearance was comparable to an angel but for karen, his the embodiment of evil, because she knows, she's in a dangerous situation, as his revenge for what she has done to him, will start any second.
"In this mansion, you were raised and here lies your grave." His words made karen blood run cold.
Seeing karen face filled with unhidden fear. The man smirked and said, "You will never see the sun again." Then he turned around, walked towards the cell door and closed it, then he disappeared, leaving karen, in the dungeon alone and scared about her future days.
He has definitely recovered his memories. Karen fearfully thought.
Days passed by...
"Let me out!" Karen screamed but nobody heard her. The disheveled, messy and dirty look she once hated had become her reality.
Then the sound of a door opened can be heard in the silent and desolate dungeon. Karen expectantly waited because she thought maybe it was the rescue, she had been waiting. But her hope was dashed, Camilia appeared in front of her wearing her favorite green gown
Karen looked at Camilia with anger and said, "It was you!"
"Yes, it was me." Camilia smiled
Karen: One day, Father will know about the things that you did to me and you'll suffer the same fate as I have.
Camilia: That day won't ever come, I will make sure of it. Moreover, I told him that you married a suitor, with the status of a commoner, who loves you very much and does not despite your wicked past and together with him, you left the empire. So, he won't ever worry about you because he thought, you live happily ever after. But in reality you're here in the dungeon, all alone and suffering, day by day, until you die.
Karen: Death won't silence my rage and even if I become a vengeful spirit after my death. I will haunt you forever.
Camilia: What's the point of turning into a vengeful spirit, even as a human you can't even defeat me.
Karen wanted to say more but was distracted by the sudden appearance of the man, she currently feared the most.
"Great, You're here. Time for me to go, so that you can reminisce about the past." Camilia said as she looked at theo, standing beside her.
She turned around to leave but before she could take another step, Karen shouted at her, " Why did you do this to me! Camilia. I never done anything to you except replace your identity."
Hearing Karen's words, made Camilia grit her teeth, she turned around in anger and said with blazing hatred, "Never! How dare you say such words. The nerve of you to say never. Don't you remember me, look at me."
Camilla looked at Karen, waiting for her response, but all she received was silence.
Camilia smiled at her and said, "An expected Answer. I know you don't remember me, because to you, lowly commoners are not worth remembering. I am the skinny, dirty and smelly girl, you hated. I am your savior but all I received was not a word of gratitude but a slap on my fragile face and a 1 month of prison time. Despite my fragile body, I risked my life to save you from the robbers because I thought, it's not worth it for a pampered lady like you, to die in an unfortunate place. Unfortunately, I saved an ungrateful white eyed wolf, and you even have the nerve, to pretend as his savior, exploiting his value until he dried. This is what you deserve, karen, and don't blame me, I'm just taking revenge, it's your actions that brought you here, suffering till you die." After Camilia said that, she left the dungeon with tears streaming down her face, washing away her pain.
She felt a sense of liberation when she knew that she had taken her revenge.
In the dungeon, Theo and karen were left.
Theo: You know, we hate you to death.The things you did to us, are not without consequences. So, don't let your imagination run wild, fake eldest miss, that we can't torture you, just because she cried. You're wrong, we're serious and we're not the type of person to just forgive and forget. We're the type, who show no mercy when we fight back because by being magnanimous to our enemies is being cruel to ourselves. Prepare yourself, fake eldest miss. You're suffering has just begun there's more to come.
