She inhales and exhales, then she’s thinking of how she is going to tell them the truth without hurting them.

‘Man, why these people are so kind... It’s so hard to do this, it’s so better to paddle someone in the head. That’s so easy for me! Or kill them wisely... augh...’ Hennah’s brain was struggling with what she will going to say. ‘Whatever I’m about to say, I knew they will be hurt, emotionally for sure. It was their eldest daughter they love the most after all.’

“Umm... Fa... father and mo... Mother. There is something I want to tell you about, and I know if you hear it, I know it's not easy to believe me. But what I’m saying is, I assure you with my soul, of what I’m going to say it’s all true.”

She inhales again and slowly exhales, then she added, “Nothing will lie's”.

The duke, who was silent and listening to her eldest daughter dearly spoke, “I will believe it, without any doubt my love and I know your mother will believe it too”.

The duchess who was also silent and just listening to her spoke, “Is it this, my beloved? The one you told me last time?”

“I guessed it was my beloved dear” the duke replied.

“I’m still not prepared yet, I guess so my beloved” the duchess said while starting to sob.

Hennah who was standing there, listening to their conversations was kind of confused.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

The duke hugs the duchess while patting her gently on her back.

“I told you, we’re still lucky she woke up and is still healthy.”

“But... But”, the duchess started to cry.

“We need to be strong, you already cried out a lot of this last time”, the duke smile warmly at his beloved wife.

He added, “I don’t want the twins will see your swollen eyes again. And you knew them, they're smart, and the twins love you so much if they see your eyes are swollen because you cried a lot. I am sure, they will attack me with a lot of questions”, the duke cupped the cheeks of the duchess and kiss her on the forehead.

“You need to calm down, and I guess we need to start to listen to our eldest daughter what she’s going to say. Am I right my love?”, the duke turns a side where Hennah is standing near at the door.

“I am so sorry my beloved and my love Zenniah. Your mother is kind of emotional person”, the duchess wipe her tears with a plain dark pink handkerchief that the duke gave her.

“Did you already know about your daughter?” Hennah asks directly to them, “I mean while listening to your conversations it’s sound like that. Am I wrong to understand it?”, she added.

A couple of seconds of silence, then the duke spoke.

“It sounds like that, but not accurate my love. Let us hear your story first and then after that, it will be us. Is that alright?”

“That will be better”, she said. She starts to tell them about her soul that enters their daughter’s body. Her physical appearance is Zenniah but the soul is not hers. She tells them her name is Hennah Von Richett, daughter of a famous dangerous clan.

“When I was eight, I was trained to be a successor to the clan. I had a twin brother, which is so very opposite to me. He has a fragile body, and that’s why my father chose me to be his successor. On my nineteenth birthday, my father handed me to be the leader of the whole clan”, she stopped talking and observes them.

She just saw them listening intently to her then she continued telling them about what happened to her, about the ambush, about her getting shots. She saw the duchess gasped when she mentioned she got shots. She remembered losing blood and then she collapsed.

“That’s the time when I open my eyes, I thought I was still in the scenes, but I woke up in an unfamiliar place and that’s the room of your eldest daughter Zenniah. Also, I am already inside her body.”

She saw the duke inhale deeply, then exhale slowly. Then the duke spoke.
