I was just reincarnated in this strange world, and it seems that I still have my memories; I am not longer Leona; I am Fatima Iris, and in this new life, I am forced to live as a noble who is awful to the people around her, I can't do much until I restore my reputation and right my wrongs.
"Miss Fatima, are you ok? This isn't how you usually are," – The maid asked me again in a shaking tone.
"I am ok, as I said. And Dad, don't worry about it. I want to start training myself." - I looked at my dad after doing a few more pushups. In my past life, I was too ill even to do them anymore; my new body has to get used to all of this strain.
"What are you doing? This is something men in the military do, not fit for a young dy like you" – My dad walked up to me and pulled me up; I had already finished a good set of pushups, so it should be around 30 or 40, give or take.
"Dad, it's my choice. Maybe I want to join the military; who knows?" – My dad looked red angrily; that guy was boiling with pure rage.
"The army is only for men who can take the strain it puts on their bodies; a frail woman like you will not make it. No matter how much you train, I will not let you join the army. Have you forgotten? You are supposed to marry the prince of Wiefra in the coming years." - Ohh, right, it comes with strings attached. I knew something like this was up. I am a noble, but I must see how people treat me first.
"Still, it's my choice." - My dad smmed his fist against one of my room's walls, leaving me with the maids.
"What has happened to her?"
"Look at her bnk stare. She is pnning something."
The maids all whispered to each other.
I knelt in front of the maids; from the memories of this girl, these maids were mistreated by her. The head maid had letters sent by her husband and kid from the nation of Nanao; Fatima hid the letters somewhere in her room and teased the maid with them, making demands and humiliating her multiple times.
"What is she doing?"
I rose from my position and walked to one of my many clothing drawers and began to pull letter after letter in my hands, making a huge pile of letters by the time I was done; I carried them all to the head maid and knelled again, my head touching the ground and spoke.
"I am sorry for all that I did; I know an apology won't cut it, but is there a way to show that I have changed as a person?" - I didn't rise or do anything.
"What happened to her. Since that lighting striked her, she has been acting all weird. Why do that now of all times?"
"She has been a bitch with us this whole time and she decides to change now?"
"Finally grown a concience, you monster" – The maids spoke out loud to me
"Listen here, you, you… Why do all of that in the first pce, why torture me like this? What have I done to you? If you want to show us that you changed as a person, go through the same hell we gone through, be a maid and be in out position, can you do that?" - The head maid started to tear up and stomped her foot into the ground.
"I will take any punishment you see fit", – I replied sternly; the head maid took a step back.
"Starting tomorrow, I will help you all with the duties you have, I will be on the same level as all of you. I want to make it right, not just to you, but to everyone."
********************************************************
The next day, I started to do everything with the maids, and my dad was furious. I don't know why; he knew what I did but defended me for some odd reason. I tried to expin everything, but to no avail; I ignored him and his warnings and went through with it for a whole month; here are a few notable events:
It was my 2nd day of cleaning and cooking with the maids, and one of them decided to throw rubbish on the ground
"Come on, pick it up, maid!" - She grinned while throwing a rolled-up paper at my face.
"Will do" – I bowed and cleaned up the mess. I deserve this. It may be someone else in the body of Fatima now, but the pain she inflicted is very real; I need to repent for her; as far as I know, Fatima Iris is dead, and I reincarnated in her body, a fair treatment for someone like her.
Another event happened in the kitchen while I cut up some vegetables for soup.
"Hey, don't cut your fingers, rich girl" – The maid in the kitchen spoke to me in a derogatory tone.
"It would be a shame if this hot boiling water were dropped on you, wouldn't it?" – I know where this is going; I let them pretend that they tripped and poured the boiling water on me. I know how to control pain since I was in the military. It left burn scars on my left hand and my right eye, but nothing magic can heal. I only healed the right eye where it was more visible; Fatima has high healing skills for some reason.
The maid that just poured boiling water over me, I did the same to her; her face is burned, and also a portion of her body; her burns didn't heal.
"How does it feel!?" - She shouted at me
*Use skill: High Heal*
"That's right, heal yourself; you always think of yourself" – I enveloped us in the green light of healing magic. I only healed my right eye scar but left the ones on my left hand; as for the maid, I healed all of her scars. Behind those scars were beautiful scarlet eyes that looked at me, at first with pity, and then she looked in a mirror that was in the kitchen; she began crying and gncing back and forth between me and the mirror.
