Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 277

At a glance from the princess's handmaiden, a few soldiers circled around us: "Please, follow us to meet the princess."

Just my luck, bumping into the big shots.

Helen whispered in my ear, "This is playing with fire."

I nodded. "Aren't you here to protect me? Stir up some chaos, take out those snipers, so it'll be safe when my sister shows up."

Helen squeezed my arm, "Those guys? Mr. Hilton's on it, or your sister's probably already handled it. My gig is to keep you out of trouble."

As we entered the princess's auction room, I noticed two maids at the door pouring wine, their hands trembling. One of them, voice quivering, confessed, "I can't do this."

The other scolded her, "Useless, the princess will have her way."

Then came the clattering sound of wine being poured. Just as I walked past, they hurried inside before me, trying to act composed. The soldiers gestured for me to enter but blocked Helen.

I had no choice but to go in alone, only to see her lounging on a chaise longue just like my sister Lily, her legs adorned with jewels, a stark contrast to Lily's style. This princess had roses scattered all around her, ensuring her steps were always on rose petals.

Extravagance at its finest.

And there was my sister, casually playing with jewels on a couch next to her, her eyebrows knitting together the moment she saw me.

Even in this guise, she recognized me instantly.

"Lily, the last time someone dared to challenge me was you. I'm surprised someone's bold enough to try again after all these years. Just had to see if she's from another hidden dynasty like you."

As someone pulled back the screen, I stood before them: "Such familiar features, yet why do I feel I know you?"
