She returned to her bed, her mind racing. It felt like Holina's old memories were fighting with Hannah's new soul. At dawn, the maid's voice broke the silence: My Lady, wake up... morning has arrived.
Hannah answered with a cold, tired voice: Your annoying voice is enough to kill birds in their nests... Get out of my sight!
She got up after the maid left and went to bathe alone. She had promised herself that no human would ever touch her body again. She spent an hour under the water, then dried her hair. The maid had already brought food: fragrant carrot soup, buttered meat, warm bread, and a glass of grape juice. She ate in strange silence, put on a simple blue velvet dress, and sat on her sofa to plan her escape.
Suddenly, a glowing blue window appeared before her eyes like a digital system:
Name: Holina
Age: 19 years
Magic Power: Locked
Intelligence: 70 | Agility: 30 | Strength: 30
Reputation: -0
She whispered in shock: What is this? This was never in the novel my friend wrote! Where did this system come from?
At that moment, her two brothers burst into the room. George, with black hair and icy blue eyes, and Leo, with blond hair and an arrogant look. George shouted angrily: Holina! What do you think you are doing? Hitting people as you please? You have gone too far!
Hannah's eyes were fixed on the window, which suddenly changed its message to warn her: You are forbidden from responding. You are forbidden from hurting main characters. You will face a harsh punishment if you break the rules.
Hannah laughed sarcastically at the window: Are you challenging me now? Then she turned to George and said coldly: And what do you care? You didn't even ask for the reason. You only care about your image. George was shocked into silence, then Leo said: Tell us the reason then!
She pointed to the door and said: I won't tell you anything since you already decided I am wrong. Get out!
Suddenly, she felt her throat tighten. Her voice disappeared as if the system was forcing her to be quiet. George moved forward angrily, grabbing the collar of her dress and lifting her off the ground: Listen carefully, your actions will bring us scandal! She tried to speak, but her voice was gone. In a bold move, she raised her middle finger at him to show her contempt. This made George lose his mind, and he slapped her across the face so hard the sound echoed in the room.
The Duke and his two wives entered at that exact moment. Everyone waited for Holina to cry as usual. But Hannah slowly raised her head, her eyes burning with madness. She gritted her teeth and thought: No one has been born yet who can hit Hannah! Since I was fourteen, no one dared to touch me... and now, it's your turn.
She moved like a wild cat. She grabbed George's collar, pulled him close, and punched him so hard it broke his nose and sent blood flying. Suddenly, a bright red window appeared: Punishment will start immediately.
Hannah felt her right hand go numb, and a terrible headache ripped through her head, but she did not stop. She laughed bitterly and said: You want to force me? Fine, I'll show you who Hannah is! With all her strength, ignoring the flashing window, she pulled George's head toward her and smashed her forehead into his with a horrifying sound.
George fell to the ground. Blood was also dripping from her own forehead, but she laughed. Before she lost consciousness, she managed a victorious smile: No one... controls... me. Then she collapsed, while everyone else stood in shocked silence.
