'There's a strange ceiling above me.'

That was the first thing that came to mind when I woke up. In fact, when I took a look around, the whole room was strange. I seemed to be in an elegantly styled room that one would usually find in high class hotels, manors, or even a castle when looking online. It was pleasing to the eyes though since the color scheme was purple and silver, two of my favorites.

'But wait, shouldn't I be in a hospital?'

Thinking back I clearly remember being hit by a truck after pushing a little girl away from the road when she went to pick up her ball. So I should be in the hospital, unless I died and got reincarnated into another world. But there is no way that could happen to someone like me! All I do is work and stay home to read my books. I didn't even have a boyfriend even though I was 28 years old that year. So there's no way.....right?

Shooting out the bed, I ran towards the mirror that was on the opposite side of the room. I was gasping for breath by the time I made it over there so either I've been in some sort of coma or this body is out of shape. Pulling all of my courage together I brace myself and forced my eyes to look into the reflective surface.

A young petite girl stood in front of me with wide expressive green eyes and shining pink hair. The colors reminded me of some of my favorite anime characters and Sakura* blossoms. Raising a hand to my face, the girl did the same so I had no more doubt in my mind that I had been isekaied* into some other world after I died. Didn't this usually happen to people from Japan?! After all, they started the light novel trend of people dying and being sent to another world! Wasn't I supposed to meet God and get some kind of cheat power to help me out???

"Duke Bloodworth! DUKE BLOODWORTH!!!" I turned around to see a maid running form the room yelling at the top of her lungs. Maybe I really was in a coma when I came to this world..... Wait a minute, did she 'Duke Bloodworth'. As in the Duke Bloodworth that took over a kingdom with his daughter in a novel, Duke Bloodworth??? What the frick!!!! Doesn't that mean that I'm currently Lunastella, his villainess daughter that tries to kill the heroine and help her father!?!

What should I do in this type of situation? Even though I've been reincarnated I don't recall anything of my current life or who anyone else is. The novel didn't start until they were all in the academy and around 15 years old. Did my past life memories shove my current ones to the side? Was I a selfish spoiled brat even as child? What will the Duke think?

"LUNA!!!!!!" Speak of the devil.

A man came running into the room and swooped me up into his arms while crying. I'm assuming this man is the Duke since he has Silver hair and green eyes like the novel said but I don't remember him ever crying like a baby in it. It really ruins his ikemen* face and stoic personality. But seeing him like this gave me an idea on what to do.

"Um, excuse me, mister," I said while patting his face with my hand, "who are you?" Yup. That's right. I'm playing the amnesia card here. Although I'm not so sure I should have since the Duke just fainted with me still in his arms. The maids and an older butler that was in the room screamed and rushed to get me and the Duke to the bed. This feels like more trouble than it was worth. God, was being something close to a Neet* in my previous life such a sin that I became a villainess in another world? Is that why all of this is happening right now?

I fell asleep again while being held by the unconscious Duke and when I woke up once more he was sitting by my bed staring at me. There was love, concern, and helplessness shining in his dark green eyes as he watched me closely. I feel bad now but there was no other choice than to say that I'd forgotten him. Which, technically, it wasn't a lie. If my past memories really did shove away my current ones then I did have a type of amnesia, right?

"Do you really not remember me?" 

"...I'm sorry, mister." He had said it so sadly that I couldn't help but apologize.

"No, it's not your fault. You've been in a coma for half a year now so it's natural something was bound to be wrong."

"A coma? Did something happen?"

"Yes, but....let's leave that another time. Right now I just want to tell you some things about yourself so that you won't be so confused." He gently held my hand and told me many things. To summarize it all: My name is Lunastella Maria Von Bloodworth, just like I thought it was, and I am currently 10 years old. He is my father, Duke Sean Bern Von Bloodworth, and the milk brother* to the current king. My mother died when I was born and she was a princess from another country that fell in love with my father when she came to study at the Royal Academy. Baston is our family's butler and advisor while Mary is my nursemaid with her daughter, Lily, training to be my personal maid. 

I knew that I was accepting all of this way too easily, but I guess this is what happens when you were a bookworm like me and read nothing but fantasy books and light novels. Will I be okay in this life or will all the flags from the book come to beat me down when the plot starts?..... I need to learn more.
