'Where the hell am I? As far as I know I was stabbed'
I furrowed my brows as I remembered what happened before I passed out.
'But why can't I see things clear? My eyesight are not good. It's blurred everywhere I look'
'Did I perhaps got beaten before that guy left? Is he not contented of just stabbing me?'
I almost sighed but I held it in then tried to look around by miving my head. Of course, I still can't see things clear but there's a vague image enough to distinguish that this place is not mine. This is not my house
'Did I got kidnapped? Did that guy took me here?'
Is he not satisfied by trying to kill me? And make me suffer by bringing me here?
As I was wondering about the purpose of the person who stabbed me, I heard a soft, affectionate voice whuch contradicted of what I expected.
Obviously, the tone and voice is unfamiliar for me since I never had a someone use that kind of way of speaking.
"Princess this world is too cruel for you. You don't have a mother who'll guide you nor a father who'll give you a warm look but I'll make sure to let you live full of love just like what I promised to the late empress so please be strong" I looked at the side where the voice is coming from and there, I saw a blurry girl in white.
I can't see her features but she seems kind.
Wait--- this is not the time to think about her attitude
But she's not talking to me right?
Yeah. I'm not a princess after all
I feel assured by my own words. But it immediately faded away when she spoke once again
"Oh, our princess is smiling. Aw our baby is so cute"
Again, I heard the woman's affectionate voice once again while my body felt a warm embrace that made me relax and forget how strange the situation is
But then, that moment was immediately interrupted when Ielt my body floating upward
Of course, I came to a conclusion that same time.
Someone lifted me and I can feel it!
I almost held my breathe because of that but fortunately, I did not.
Anyway, how? How can she lift me? I'm a grown woman just like her. Is she a weightlifter?
Freaking out, I tried to get away from the hands that are holding me but as I was trying to do some little 'berserk', I saw my hand faintly
But, why is it tiny? Like a baby?
In doubt, I waved my hands infront of my eyes and there, I confirmed it.
'it's really small and chubby'
Don't tell me, did I really became a baby?
'Oh my G!'
This is impossible.
This is horror!! If I'm dreaming, please wake me up. This isn't funny anymore
"gsnksosknwh" [I'm not the princess!!]
I tried to speak to let her know that I'm not her 'oh so called' princess but nothing came out of my mouth aside from a cute groan
'I can't even speak!! What kind of dream is this??
What the fvck is happening?? I'm so confused.
A YEAR LATER
One year had passed since I got transported into this baby body. This day is my birthday and of course the death anniversary of my mother.Of course, I had a really hard time accepting the reality infront of me but as time goes by, I didn't had a choice but to do so. Yes, that's for the better.
Logically speaking, I'm inside of an abandoned princess, so there's no celebration.
Yes, I'm a princess but is living like a beggar. This is all the fault of the current ruler so obviously, I have a grudge toward him.
'That damned emperor!!'
Anyway, this is to be expected since I am Princess Lalaine Ledecia
Yes, I am inside the body of my favorite villainess.
I understand that by just knowing that I got reincarnated as a baby is unimaginable already but what's even more surprising is this fact.
As far as I remembered, I freaked out the first time I heard my name. And still, I had doubts. But when she mentioned my father and mother's name, that's when I died of frustration.
Though, I think that this is God's deed. And the compensation he gave me.
Yes, compensation. Duh, I just died miserably without experiencing real happiness.
Of course, when you think about it, you'll be discouraged because this compensation is more of a 'punishment' since I still have to prevebt this body from dying.
As you know, this is a villainess body so it's meant to die for the main characters to achieve their happy ending
I remembered a year ago, I promised myself that I'll treasure this life and live happily.
That's why I thought of several ways to change my fate
The first one is to run away. With running away, I won't need to suffer anymore. I'll just be a commoner and live freely. No restrictions, no need to follow etiquette and I don't have to worry about me dying.
'But I don't think I can live alone at this age so it's not really my first choice'
Then the second one is to try my best not to cross paths with the main characters. I'll avoid them until they met their happy ending and will do my best to do good things.
I don't have to interfere with their life.
'Yeah. This is the most suitable way to live'
And the last one is to gain someone's power. I'll look for someone who can protect me and bring that person on my side.
'But how can I do that when I'm living in this isolated place'
This is too tiring. I love princess Ledecia but not to the extent of sacrificing my own
Anyway, since the best solution is the second one, that's what I'll do
Good luck to me
Few months after I found that book, I realized how much time I had wasted before having a relationship with Calix but now, it no longer matter as we are about to get married already. Of course, this is a national wedding since it involves me, the crown princess. 'Finally, we're getting married' Just a month ago, I felt so bad to my lady in waiting and dad's aide because of how busy they had become due to to my wedding but I can't just help but apologize because I myself is well aware that I need their help because if not, I won't be able to get married to Calix. I was still being prepared by so much people while Calix is already at the biggest church of the empire. Usually, Imperial princess like me is required to get married at the Palace but I tried to convince my father to just let me have a normal but expensive and great wedding in the biggest church in the Empire. Luckily, both him and Calix didn't had a problem with this issue and and instead, they just
Today, I came to the library to put back all the books that I got to study how to rule the empire but since it is no longer needed by me, I decided to finally put these things back. There, I asked my lady in waiting and maids to put the books where it is places last time.while I just reminisced a bit. I had a lot of memory in this place actually. Whenever I felt like I don't know about something, I will always struve hard to find out what I needed to know using this big library. Somehow, it feels amazing to be back here.Calix is currently not here as he went to go to their duchy since there was an emergency. He was even getying mad while hearing the words from a knight drom the duchy and I fekt bad for his aide so i just asked him to go for now since I had to do some things as well like this.There, I walked through in between of two big shelf and looked through books. As I was doing that, I saw how many times I spent in here as most of the books here are familiar wit
"Lalaine? Why are you spacing out?" Calix askes a she look at my face Coming back to my senses, I looked around me again and the office that I've seen a while ago is now long gone. We are now walkimg to the hallway while I am thinkim gof what had happened last time. It seems like he noticed how I spaced out while walking as he held both of my shoulder and gently shook it. "Hey? Are you alright?" he asked again and looked closely to me. Of course, as soon as I felt the knights eyes, I immediately smiled at him brightly saying that it's fine. It's just then that he cakmed down he must have been so worried that he acted a little rough I think today is the right time to give him the answer that he needs to hear "Calix, should we go and stroll to the garden. I just want to have a breathe of mind" I said as I look outside. Since we're at the second floor of the main palace, we can overlook the garden from here properly Noticing my mood, he wrapp
"It's not like I don't want you to be the next empress and ruler of this empire because I knew very well that you are a competent person so I'd like you to heat me out first before puttinf that kind of expression in your face. It feels like I betrayed you" Dad said'But really.. Why?'Not like I am sad about it because honestly, that job is too burdensome for me as well. Aristocrats fughts and succesions right. Those are just too tiring for me to even do but it's juat too sudden for me so I don't know how am I supposed to react. Hearing his words, I tried to think more but when I saw that he's still staring at my face,I cleared my face and mind while I give my full attention to what he's about to say."You know, since both of you are now grown up and I know sooner or later, you will get married. I figured out that it'll be hard for you ti managed the duchy as the dychess and the whole empire so K decided to delay it for now and wait until.you final
As I was thinking what she meant about it, a knight called me from the outside of my room"Your highness, his majesty is aaking you to come to his office" and so, after hearing the knight speak, I immediately moved to stand. As you know, I have been worrying for a lot of minutes now and I felt like if I don't go now, I'll definiteky die wonderng what is the reason of their so ling talk.There, I bid goodbye to.my lady in waiting whom I didn't has a long talk with and immediately got escorted by a knight towards dad's office. Of course as I was walking I became even more nervous and my heart beated like crazy.Soon, we reached his office. Before finalky entering, I tried to eavesdrop first to hear some talk inaide byt i didn't heard any and the knigts aroynd also looked at me strangely. They are pribabKy wondering qhy I am acting like this so I withdrew my head from the door.and fixed myself. It will be bad if my dignity got ruined here. I even made that for year
