I Was The Real Count's Daughter

I had lived my entire life as a maid for the Count's family.

But one day, I ended up swapping bodies with the household's resident troublemaker, Lady Diana.

Just as I was about to reveal the truth...

The Count dropped the news of Lady Diana's engagement to Prince Kair.

"Until the wedding ceremony is held, our Lanchester family cannot afford to have even the slightest blemish on our reputation. Even a single ant must be completely pure. Do you understand?"

To survive, I hid behind the lady's mask and stood by the prince's side.

But he utterly despised me—or rather, the Diana I was pretending to be.

"I have absolutely no intention of marrying you."

And the feeling was entirely mutual.

'What good is a handsome face when his personality is absolute trash? I'd be better off crushing on a stone statue.'

But when did it start?

A searing heat slowly began to seep into his once ice-cold eyes.

The man who used to coldly draw a line and push me away was long gone.

Eventually, tossing aside his very arrogance, he confessed.

"Must I fall to my knees and beg just to make you look at me?"

But he didn't know.

That the woman he was pleading with wasn't a noble Count's daughter, but merely a lowly maid who would eventually have to return to where she belonged.
