150 2.1.1: The Faux Noble
When Xiao Yunhua woke up, she felt the hot sun burning her head and causing her body to be drenched in sweat. She lied down on the soft grass near the river, trying to catch her breath. The information of this world began to fill her head.
The current body she was in belonged to Juliet Marilla Eleanor, an orphan that was dropped in Hillwood Village as a baby and raised as a servant. She served the infamous village tyrant, Evelyn Warring, who was the same age as Juliet—seven years old—but a terrible brat. Although the villagers did not know who backed up Evelyn, they still knew that Evelyn had a powerful backer they could not afford to offend. Hence the little girl took pleasure in annoying the entire village with her shenanigans and they could do nothing but hold down their words.
As for Juliet, she had been so bullied that she had died from being exhausted and overworked by Evelyn, who constantly ordered her around. And to make matters worse, Evelyn always made sure to remind her that if they hadn't taken her in as a baby, she would be homeless, so Juliet needed to pay off her debts.
The current world was very similar to what Xiao Yunhua's world would consider as historical Europe, but here, it was divided into two countries: Ayrelie and The Great Kingdom of Yuvet. Juliet, along with Evelyn, both lived in The Great Kingdom of Yuvet—or shortened as GKY—which was more agricultural based rather than Ayrelie that was known for their militaristic ideals. Both countries had their flaws, yet were balanced to the point that neither could overpower another.
GKY was ruled by the Delavan Royal family and Ayrelie was ruled by the Castile Royal family. Even though Ayrelie had the Castile Royal family, everyone knew who truly held the political power in the nation: Prime Minister Xavier Drexel Monte-Phelan. His name was long, but it matched the Monte-Phelan family's long history of controlling the country of Ayrelie behind-the-scenes. This didn't mean that the Castile Royal held no authority, but at anytime, even the peasants knew that they could be taken over. Strangely, they weren't and were allowed to stay on the throne, but nobody knew the real reason for that.?Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

'Wait, who is—'
"Juliet!" An elderly voice called out impatiently, "Where are you? Evelyn is calling for you!"
Xiao Yunhua recognized the voice—according to the body's memory—as Ingrid Abbot, an old woman who took care of Evelyn as she was given a job to work for the little girl. Evelyn has no parental figures in her life—like Juliet—but Ingrid was hired to take care of her. Ingrid found her very annoying just like everyone else but didn't dare to disobey her. Xiao Yunhua figured that Ingrid was probably the only person who knew the powerful backer of Evelyn in Hillwood Village hence why she did her bidding too.
Xiao Yunhua didn't answer until Ingrid found her and began to scold her. "Juliet, what are you doing? Do you want to make Evelyn angry? She wanted for you to bring a pail of water from the river and you're out here being so irresponsible! Child, do you want to cause trouble for yourself on purpose?"
Xiao Yunhua wanted to refute but the words that came out of her mouth were the complete opposite. "No ma'am. I'm sorry, I'll bring it for Evelyn immediately."
'Taotao what is this? Why did I say something completely different than I intended.'

'But I wasn't restricted in my last world?'
> Xiao Taotao explained meticulously.
So something like this existed... Xiao Yunhua was shocked to find out but was glad she was told this earlier on in her missions.
