"Madam, I apologies, it's all my fault!"
"the last batch of coffee wasn't filtered properly, which could be the reason for difference in taste."
"I have brewed this fresh cup of coffee as per your usual preference. Please give it a try and see if it suits your pallet." The butler said while placing the cup on the table in front of her.
" Madam, Please don't fire me, I really need this job." Talia's voice sounded piteous while saying this to Hayfa with a sorry in her eyes.
Hayfa glanced at the cup on the table then looked at Talia, with a glare.
She thought with displeasure, "What a façade! If only I could stop her from ruining my coffee with her daily soap drama. If this were my palace, I would have banished her for life immediately."
Hayfa, the princess of Syrion, who grew up in a palace full of thugs and harlots. She had witnessed so many of her father's concubines, and their unceasing tactics to win favors.
The ugliest of those tactics was to pretend weak and victim, just like Talia here. So she could clearly see through Talia's intentions.
At this moment, a voice echoed in Hayfa's head,
"Don't forget your identity in this story, here on this planet you are Sienna Celebi a villainess side character here, not some princess from Syrion."
"Here, in this world, you schemed against the male lead, drugged him, forced him to marry you after getting pregnant.”
"After finally becoming the wife of the wealthy businessman, you despised the male lead's first love and repeatedly plotted against the female lead, only to end up with a swollen face from her retaliation."
"You were relentless on your path of causing harm, and in the end, you were discarded by the disgusted male lead and spent the rest of your life in prison. This is the tragic life script of you as a villainess here in this world, But now, there's also a chance for you to alter your fate, your 'host' body, which could become a loyal servant to the male and female leads. And as long as you play your part well, you'll gain a brilliant and joyous life script, keeping your destiny within your own hands. The woman Talia in front of you could be female lead of this story and the future love interest of the male lead, so you should be nice to her."
The Voice chattered on and on, saying all this. However, Hayfa didn't take a single word in her mind, she was utterly peeved by the continuous chatter, but her face turned stoic as she spoke, "So noisy, shut up."
Upon hearing her, the butler standing aside shuddered, instinctively stepping forward to protect Talia, afraid that the madam might hurt Talia in her anger.
In the eyes of all the servants, Sienna was truly a bitterly malicious woman. Ever since She married Barisan Celebi, their lives as servants had become unbearably miserable. They found her to be irascible, temperamental and easily angered. She would often explodes over the slightest issues, so they serve this madam with extreme caution.
No wonder why Mr. Celebi hardly come to the house to stay ; after all, any Man would find it hard to tolerate such a volatile wife.
Moreover, it is a well-known fact that Barisan Celebi holds no affection for this wife. Of course, isn't it natural? Sienna had landed this spot only because she was carrying Barisan's child. That was the sole reason he Married her.
Sensing Sienna still seemed to be angry, Talia nervously bit her lip and took a brand-new lipstick out of her pocket.
She approached Sienna, gingerly grasping her hand, and stuffed the lipstick into it. "Madam, accept this as a token of my apology . I beg you to forgive me this time..."
Hayfa simply had no patience for the young girl’s acting. She was disgusted by the idea of taking token in exchange of forgiveness, something she never witnessed in her royal palace. She coldly pushed away Talia’s hand, "Get away from me, do not touch me."
Talia took a step back, stumbled and fell on the floor, knocking her forehead against the table leg, causing an instant swell on her temple. Tears sprang from her eyes as she was overwhelmed by the pain. Seeing this, the nearby maid jumped in fright, quickly helping Talia to stand up.
They were horrified by the swollen, noticeable bump on her head and found their mistress even more daunting.
Hayfa gave an apathetic look towards Talia and thought to herself, "with her acting skills and tactics, if she were to vie for favor in the imperial harem, she'd definitely be the first one to die".
The Voice, witnessing Hayfa lose her temper, frantically reminded her
" you need to be clear about the situation. You're not a princess right now, you are Sienna, Your job is to kneel before the male and female protagonists to change your fate and find a survival into this new world, how do you dare to push the female lead, what on earth are you doing!"
Hayfa couldn’t be bothered by the The Voice, nor did she want to do anything about the annoying girl. She decided to head to her bedroom to find a corner where she could peacefully recollect and organize the memories from previous owner Sienna's body .
Having just transmigrated, Everything around her seemed to look blurry and it was giving her a headache. She was not able to process the people and circumstances around her and it was making her act irrational. She had to quickly become familiar with this world and adapt the environment to survive. Otherwise, some pesky people would always be plotting against her! just like this man and woman with something called a cup of coffee resting in front of her.
"I am tired, I'm going upstairs to rest, and no one is allowed to come up to disturb me."
she stood up and climbed the stairs hurriedly .
The servants saw her with their face frozen, he couldn't believe that how the lady left the room without creating any havoc this time, as opposed to her normal routine.
Seeing the lady going back to her bedroom, the servant hurriedly called the man of the house and reported that the piano tutor hired for the young master had been injured by the lady again.
**************
When Barisan returned to the house, it was very late at night.
Entering the master bedroom, he found the room lit without no trace of Sienna.
He unloosened his tie, took off his suit jacket and carried it on his arm, while stepping ahead the sound of water splashing reached his ears.
His gaze lifted towards the bathroom door,
Inside the bathroom, Sienna was looking at things she had never seen before, unsure how to proceed.
An attempt of turning on the shower, soaked her along with her thin dress.
She became a little annoyed and stormed out of the bathroom, preparing to call someone to bathe her and help her change clothes.
Just as she stepped out of the bathroom, she ran into a strange man.
She looked the man up and down, who was handsome but had a cold face, giving people an intimidating sense of authority without effort.
The man looked at her indifferently, expressionless.
Hayfa, without giving a thought of who is he said to him in a commanding tone, "Good timing, come serve me for my wash."
Upon hearing this, Barisan furrowed his brows in puzzle, he gave Sienna a strange look and said,
"Sienna, what game are you playing now?"
Although, he married this beautiful woman but he never liked this brainless woman serving as mere an adornment in his house.
Sienna was very beautiful but she was vile at heart. And as much he knew her, her gentle and virtuous pretense in front of him was all an act, he always wondered how long she could keep up with this act?
Ever since he married her, he had always been indifferent and uncaring towards her, he could not treat her kindly because he could never forget the reason why he married her.
Hayfa raised her chin and said "How dare you, my name is not something for you to address casually, Has it slipped from your memory that i am a princess."
Hayfa said delusionally forgetting the identity of her host's body, Sienna.
Hearing her, Barisan was taken aback for a moment, and then a sarcastic smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth.
He stepped forward, each step closing the distance between them, with an icy aura on his face, overwhelming her.
Suddenly, his hand reached out and tightly grasped her chin, his cold eyes examining her exquisite features.
He laughed with a teasing tone, "Well, well, well.....A Princess?" Huhh??

NOTE:
'The Voice', which keeps directing Sienna is a 'cloud feature in her alien soul'. Inspired by the philosophy of an existing cloud computing The Voice in quantum and cosmic space which is called ' Akashik Records' . Since Hayfa is an alien from a planet Syrion, superior in technology and more advance in intelligence, so that's how when Hayfa become Sienna through Transmigration she was still able to access the cloud feature in her brain through ' The Voice'.
