"WHAT!" Mi-ji now Vivian screamed, after she had made the resolve of living differently, she thought she might as well see which point of the novel she's in, so min-ji decided to go to her father, Duke Neptine's study to ask, as she was about to step out a maid burst in.
Maid- "My lady, where are you going in your nightgown?"
Vivian- "to see my father, Duke Neptine..." just then, Vivian thought that she doesn't need to visit her father anymore, she could just ask the maid what the year is.
Vivian-"what year is it?"
Maid-" my lady, it's year 238 of the imperial calendar, why do ask?' as the maid answered, a realization dawned on Vivian, this wasn't everyday Korea where she could just barge in on her father, she needed to schedule an appointment with him because of formalities
Vivian-"no reason, however, schedule a meeting for my with my father at the fastest time possible."
Maid- "yes, my lady" as the maid exited the room, Vivian's knees felt weak, she collapsed to her knees on the soft mat below with a soft thud then exhaled a long sigh. 'haaa....' "to think i need to make an appointment with my own father to see him... and did the maid say the year was 238 on the imperial calendar? If that's the date, and the novel's plot begins in year 243 at the crown prince's coming-of-age ceremony, it should be about 5 years before... WAIT- 5 YEARS BEFORE!" before Vivian realized she had scream, her voice rand through the entire hallway, she covered her mouth as the servants began to whisper among them selves.
"has she finally lost it?" one of the servants said, "is her lady alright?" as another continued.
Anna, Vivian's personal maid, also who she had been conversing with earlier told all the gossipers to mind their own business and shut up, as Anna did that, Vivian let out a small chuckle before she could realize, everyone froze on the spot. It had been years for them since the original Vivian smiled, they we're all mesmerized by her beauty.
Anna came over and told Vivian that it was time for her bath, and before Vivian could even think about it, a group of maid rushed her to a washroom to help her bathe. An hour later, after Vivian had finished to bathe, se sent everyone out of her room, sitting down on the desk she took a pen and paper to write about what she knows of the novel.
