After thinking of the emperor before whom even Riana was a saint, she got so scared that she ask Haniel to stop calling her 'Mommy' and decides a way to get out of this predicament.

there is a long conversation b/w them after which Catherine come to know that she is not only the princess of the kingdom and the sister of the tyrant emperor but MC of the novel that he once read in her previous life.

But Haniel is such a cutie that Catherine can not stop but fawn over her and since she been a orphan in her previous life and in this life also she does not have any relatives, she asked Haniel to call her 'Mommy', this is the moment when haniel replied to her by asking her 'if she is her mommy?' At first she thought, this baby swan must also be one of the people Rania casted spell on but thinking about how small she was,she kind of dispelled that idea and then Catherine bought Haniel to her room and started to talk to her in order to get some kind of response from her.

Catherine was talking to one of her confidants when she saw our small and cute white swan,Haniel, who was lost.

Catherine seems to quite like her life as a swan as she is kind of a queen of all the animals who have grievances against Rania and all of them mainly live near a pond in the duke estate.This step-daughter has maintained a very good reputation in the estate and has spread rumors about Cathy being a witch and an evil character and also being the reason behind duke's death so that when she,Rania, tries to get the dukedom ,she may not suffer any kind of opposition and she also converts anyone who opposes her into animals like ducks,frogs ,fishes and swans.

Even though, she is technically not married but due to some political reasons,she is forced to take on the role of the widowed duchess by having a magic casted on her by one of her step-daughters,Rania, due to which she converts into a black swan as soon as its dark or moonlight falls on her.

so our MC was actually a zookeeper who died by drowning in the pond of the zoo she was working and then get reincarnated in the body of daughter of a baron household named Catherine (i think she is in her late teens or early twenties) who was sold by her step-mother after her father's death to a 40 years old duke but on the night of her arrival in the duke estate her husband died.
