Ella sighed as she looked at the same garden she had been seeing for the past eleven years. She still couldn't believe that she had transmigrated and was inside a novel she had read for 11 years and now she was a sixteen-year-old woman. A lot of things have happened in the past eleven years. At first, when she started her class with Baroness Ivy, she hated how much she couldn't understand every word she wrote on the paper or the ones she was asked to write, but gradually she became close to Ivy and she also started picking up the words which were surprisingly a lot easier to learn. Every day, her brother would sneak inside the classroom and try to stay with her, but because he was a grandduke in training, his master would always find him beside Ella and he would drag him with him while Henry looked at his sister pitifully. Ella sighed again as she remembered when she was introduced to baroness Ivy's son. It was the second month since she started being serious in her lesson. Baroness Ivy came late to class that day and with her was a young boy of six or seven who looked so much like Ivy. His brown hair and brown eyes weren't Ivy's because Ivy has black hair, but his face was Ivy's. At first, when he was introduced to Ella, the cute little boy glared at her and didn't say anything else. He stayed in class glaring at Ella, which made her so uncomfortable, and at the end of the lesson, when Ella requested to go to the garden with the baroness, William glared at her and held his mother tightly. That was when Ella understood what his glare meant. He hated her because she was always with his mother every day. Although Ivy and William weren't mentioned in the story and she didn't know everything about them, Ella knew that a child would always need their parents' love, but William's father died, so his mother was the only one who was with him, but because she needed to study, she had taken away someone's else mother. So slowly Ella started getting close to the young William. At first he always glared and ignored her, but he always, called her ''stupid or i***t'' whenever she makes a single mistake in her lesson or whenever she does something that seems simple to him and fails. Slowly they started being close, which of course angered Henry at first, but he later became best of friends with William, who again was not in the story. ''Am i changing the flow of the story?'' Ella asked herself as she lay on her bed, as the grand duke's daughter, who died at the age of five. She sure made a lot of changes in the novel. She didn't die at the age of five and her brother became friends with someone who was not mentioned in the novel. ''All of these are only because of that darned god!'' Ella yelled on top of her voice, although it had been eleven years she still hated the god for bringing her here where she always goes to sleep in the morning because of her fear of dying again. ''Boo!'' Ella rolled her eyes. She had been expecting that and here it was. Every day William would hide somewhere in her garden and then he would startled her. At first she was so scared of it, but now she has gotten used to it that it has become so boring for her. ''Oh my gosh, I'm so scared that my heart feels like it will burst.'' Ella pretended to feel scared even though she felt bored by the same thing that William always does every day. Her thoughts drifted as she remembered her two friends, Jacob and Sophie. At first, when she met Sophie, who was athletic and was living with her single mother, she thought she had become friends with her because she was a celebrity, but the latter was the case. Sophie loved her for her and the one thing she loved about Sophie was her courage. Her father died, leaving her and her poor mother. She started learning how to swim and run and do everything an athlete could do. She was supposed to see her running for the nation but she died before the day she would run. The second is how everything about them was similar. Their taste in clothing, their choice of colour, their taste in books and every other thing, and there is Jacob, who had no interest in the world, he always acted like he was an alien who fell on earth. Ella tried thinking about how she and he became friends but nothing seemed to pop up in her mind. ''I miss them.'' She absent-mindedly said without noticing the look on William's face. ''Who do you miss? Do you even know anyone outside this mansion? i mean you have never gone outside of these walls before, so tell me, who on earth do you miss?'' William asked while smirking. Ella turned and looked at him. She opened her mouth to say something, but decided against it. Rather than replying to him, she gave him the middle finger and stood up, ''stop coming inside an unmarried woman's room.'' she walked out of her room. William smirked and followed her. He had seen her doing that gesture with her hand and it did not surprise him anymore. Even when she was being yelled at by her sister in the past, she always bent down her head without saying anything, but immediately her sister turned and walked away she would do the same gesture with her hand. ''Then you mean if you get married i should start coming over to your room?'' he chuckled at his question. As Ella opened her mouth to reply to his question, someone called her name, ''My lady!!!'' as she turned to find out who that was, she saw something like a small tornado coming towards her. She flinched and wanted to run away but when she looked closer she noticed it was her maid who was running and was causing all the dust to form. ''My lady, my lady! a letter.'' Jane screamed in excitement. When she reached where Ella was standing, she held her hand, ''You have an invitation from the palace my lady!'' she screamed again while holding Ella's hand. When Ella heard that she flinched, 'The palace? why?' although she had longed to see the male protagonist of this novel, she still did not want to see him before he fell in love with the female lead, she gulped because she felt uneasy.
