Replying...
Intro. I never imagined that life could have so many layers. One day, I was just myself, living between memories and dreams. The next, I woke up between the pages of an old book, feeling each word pulsate like reality. I reincarnated. Not as a heroine, not as a princess, but as a maid to Emperor Claude de Alger — a powerful, cold man marked by the pain of loss. His daughter, the young heiress, grew up under his strict gaze, but never under his love. Claude did not treat her well, because he saw in her only memories of his deceased wife, shadows of a past that consumed him. And there I was, invisible to the eyes of the royal family, watching, learning and living each day with my heart heavy for what I could not change... still.
