After thinking about it all night... I think this place is truly a novel. Otherwise, I wouldn't be a woman and my eyes wouldn't be silver.
Squeak
“Oh… Miss… You’re awake.”
This woman... is my dedicated maid, Sia, whom I introduced yesterday. She says I took her in when she was young, when she was beaten in the slave market during an outing with Duke Leos. But I'm not Yeonhwa. I don't remember.
"Uh... Sia... was it..."
"Miss, you must be polite to me. You must not use formal language."
"Yes… No, yeah…"
"I heard the Confuciuses are coming today. How about changing into indoor clothes and waiting?"
“Ugh… I don’t know when you’ll come, so it’s better to prepare in advance.”
Sia pulled a neat, yet not-so-flat dress out of her closet and put it on me. It was my first time dressing someone up, so it felt so awkward.
I put on the indoor clothes that Sia had made for me, sat at the table, and drank the tea that Sia had poured for me.
"Wow, it smells good. What kind of tea is this?"
"Thank goodness! It's chamomile tea, the kind you liked even before you lost your memory. I guess the body remembers."
This is tastier than I thought, I thought as I sipped chamomile tea.
Now, let's summarize the contents of the novel that I remember.
First of all, this place is made up of one large continent, and the name of that continent is'Biceaterie'AndBishatt, Cheha, Azenka, Tdef, Likan, Eseren. It is divided into six empires. 《Emperor's Flower》 takes place in the Azenka Empire. The male protagonist of 《Emperor's Flower》 is the emperor of the Azenka Empire, and the female protagonist is a commoner.
And there were 15 noble families, one of which was Hong Ji-soo's family, and eight of which were on Hong Ji-soo's side.
"And the story begins in the year 946 of the Imperial Calendar… a month and a half after the beginning of winter…"
"Huh? What did you say?"
“Huh…? You didn’t say anything.”
In the original story, Yeonhwa died, so I, that means Yeonhwa is alive before the story even begins.
"Sia, what year is it?"
"It is the year 945 of the Imperial Calendar, my lady."
"One year left... Whew... It's complicated..."
Smartㅡ
“Huh…?”
"I guess the Confuciuses have arrived."
“Uh… come in…?”
Bang-
"Yeonhwa!!"
"Sigh."
Ah, I let out a strange noise in surprise. Outside the door, one, two, three… oh my… 13 people were standing there. They all wore brooches with tiny jewels on their chests, and they were all different colors.
"Yeonhwa..."
A young boy, about my age, calls me. He's wearing a yellow brooch. With a yellow brooch... Since the female protagonist and I are the same age... The sub-male protagonist who was the same age as the female protagonist... Could it be... Lee Chan of the Lowe's family...?
“Rouse… Lee Chan…?”
Ah, I see. Everyone's eyes widened in surprise when I called his name. That's right, the ill-fated sub-boy. Thinking that, I took another sip of chamomile tea. The reason he's called the ill-fated sub-boy is because Lee Chan belatedly discovers Yeo Joo and falls in love with her, but Yeo Joo doesn't even know him. Lee Chan continues to suffer inwardly and eventually gives up, but he's accused of trying to poison Yeo Joo simply because he liked her.
“Yeonhwa… do you remember me…?”
"Yes... I remember a little bit about everyone's family, name, and age... that he's Lee Chan from the Lowe's family and that he's the same age as me..."
“I’m glad you haven’t completely forgotten… Since we’re the same age, feel free to talk to me!”
"Then, can you tell me who they are one by one?"
"Yes. Soonyoung from the Raeger family… Yeah.. Oppa, Myungho from the Jis family… Oppa and Junhwi… Oppa, Jihoon oppa, Seokmin oppa, Chan from the Rose family, Seungcheol oppa and Hansol oppa from the Raig family, Mingyu oppa from the Ibis family, Seungkwan oppa from the Bylet family, Jeonghan oppa from the Ian family, Wonwoo oppa from the Daul family… and Jisoo oppa from the Leos family."
Ugh… I can’t get used to being called oppa… Except for a few of these people, they’re all younger than me, but I have to call them oppa instead of hyung… Seriously…
But I think it's true because I gathered all the memories I didn't remember and told them. To be honest, I could tell the family crests by the color of the brooch.
“I really thought I was going to die this time… Again… That bitch…?”
Hansol-oh… asked in a voice full of murder. That girl again…? In the novel, Yeonhwa died of illness. But again…?
“Again… that girl…?”
"hey."
Jisoo oppa smiled and spoke to Hansol oppa. Her smile was incredibly pretty, but it felt cold and there was a murderous aura, like someone had sprinkled ice on her… In a word, it was scary. Then Hansol oppa said, Ah... right... I'm sorry.He quickly apologized. “I should know too… I feel left out…”
“Oh, but… what about my parents? I haven’t seen them since they woke up…”
I was genuinely curious. The novel didn't mention the Leos family's circumstances, and I hadn't seen them since. Suddenly, the atmosphere grew cold, and everyone avoided my gaze. Did I say something wrong? Where did my parents go?
“... Yeonhwa… your parents….”

Haha! Regular fanfics are hard.., ㅜㅜㅠ
I'm sorry for the short contentㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ
First, I'll introduce my family since you might be confused!
This is Seventeen's (let's call them Seventeen for convenience!) family!
The shape of the brooch is the same, but the color is different.
Ta-da! This is the family crest! Each family's flag is also included.
I tried to draw it... but I gave up! (Hae-mak)
