Audrey 2.0

When Audrey and her huge cat Nero arrived at the entrance of the Lee clan's courtyard, the sun had already taken a deep dive at the western horizon. The moon which was in the shape of a sickle was now hanging high above the sky and was shining brightly at the dark night. Likewise, countless stars had already littered the vast night sky as though thousand tiny needles had punctured their way through them.

Also, the massive cat started to shrink and became as small as a kitten. But given everything that she had witnessed so far ever since she accepted that she transmigrated to another world, Audrey was no longer surprised to see Nero perform a transformation right before her eyes.

Audrey was more concerned by the fact that the gate of their residence was tightly closed and there were two muscular men standing guard at its entrance. Left with no choice, she decided to approach one of them.

"Who are you and what business do you have with the Lee clan? The clan head is not available for the meantime so I suggest you better go back next time."

Said one of the guards without even giving the lady before her a proper glance. It seemed like they were instructed to turn down all of the guests for today and that did not sound as good news for Audrey. She did not know what to say anymore. If she failed to enter the residence, then where the heck would she spend her night?!!

She knew nothing next to that darn place!!!

"Err,----", Audrey trailed off as she tried to come up with something to say. Then she deliberately cleared her throat and imitate the 'Audrey' she has in her memory.

"Am I not allowed to enter my own residence?!"

Audrey sounded awkward but the guards seemed so terrified to even notice that.

Who would not????

The troublemaker young miss that they used to know was standing right before their eyes, and not just only that, she was even dressed in blood-soaked clothes!

"Y...you...young miss???"

With a quivering voice, the guards gave Audrey a salute.

"Quick, go tell the clan head that young miss is back...and call the doctors"

One of the guards instructed his colleague as he hurriedly walked towards Audrey.

"Please forgive this servant for my ignorance. We fail to recognize young miss."

The guard made a ninety-degree bow when he talked to Audrey, afraid that he might incur the ire of their young miss. Meanwhile, Audrey was not sure how she should respond so she just nodded her head slightly to acknowledge the other party.

Soon dozens of people came running out of the residence to welcome Audrey. They assisted her as they go back inside the residence. For the first time in her life, Audrey got to feel how to be treated special. She even had attendants to take care of her. As soon as she reached her room, there was already a hot bath waiting for her.

"Young miss, this servant will be staying just outside your room. If you will need anything just call me."

Audrey remembered the owner of the voice as someone that came by the name of Sabel.

"Sabel, that is your name, right? I have something to ask you."

Sabel was startled when Audrey called her name. But she was quick to recover. Her young miss never called her by her name even once, but despite her surprise, she was still able to respond to Audrey in the nick of time.

"This servant will answer."

"Tell me. Where is your Lady Selene right now? And also, do you happen to know her whereabouts while I was away?"

"Young miss, Lady Selene just came back this morning. She was currently being treated by the house doctors as she came injured. She claimed to get ambushed while following you. The clan head was so furious and worried for both of you that he sends out troops to look for you. They might be back any minute now."

Sabel answered without hiding anything. This maidservant also knew that the two young misses had animosity toward each other.

"Injured? Well played, Selene."

Audrey scoffed and she was once reminded about the scheming personality of this cousin of hers.

She must admit, Selene was truly cunning. She even planned out her alibi very well. Turning herself into a kind-hearted lady as she used to be. She made it looked like she was just genuinely concerned for the well-being of her willful cousin and thus she followed Audrey without minding her own safety. Putting all the blame on Audrey if anything bad happened after. Perhaps she was even anticipating the news of her cousin's death from the guards that were sent to scout the area once she returned.

"Too bad, she will get to see the new Audrey this time."

A smirk broke out from Audrey's face when that thought crossed her mind.
