"WHAT? DID THEY STARVE YOU FOR A WHOLE MONTH? How dare they do this to my daughter?" Dad yelled, shocked, and got up.Fuck. Look at what I have done. I need to control my mouth or I'm going to get in trouble."No, dad. Don't worry. No one dared to starve me. None of them have such an obvious death wish," he sat down again, still confused. "I was just thinking out loud. I didn't starve, I just felt like that because I woke up so hungry." He sighed.Val stared at me as if he didn't believe a word I said and knew I was lying. "For Mikla's sake, Tasha, don't scare me like that! I can't even imagine what I would do if anyone dared to harm or starve any of my children," I sided-looked at my mother, and she gazed back at me arrogantly, but I could see how she gulped at my father's words.And again, Val noticed that too. Although he didn't say a word about it. "What kind of dream did you have that made you wake up so hungry, Tasha?" Ha, you don't want to know that."I starved for about a

ANOTHER GOAL I NEED TO ACCOMPLISH is to make my dad choose an archery tutor for me as fast as possible, because back in my previous life he only had this idea about four months from now, claiming that once I had already mastered swordsmanship, I should try mastering the bow and arrow. And although I was outstanding in fighting with literally all weapons before I died, I am not sure if I can perform just as well in this body as I could in my twenty-seven-year-old one. And especially if that's possible, I will need an excuse for my archery skills. Because I don't think they would believe in me if I said that I learned that in a dream.Moreover, the reason for me to 'learn' archery, is because I always had the desire to kill the 3rd Imperial Prince using his weapon, and once I couldn't do that in the 1st timeline, I'll do the impossible to kill that fucker if needed. And he will pay for having tortured me.I still remember vividly the sensation of him taking my eyes out, the pain. How

"OH, THAT'S TRUE. I DID CHOOSE HIM ALREADY, but I think everyone knows about that," Octavian rolled his eyes and Val nodded."It's that annoying boy that dad and the Captain took under their wing, Isn't it? So predictable," he spoke full of sarcasm."Asher is a great kid, very skilled for his age, and one of the youngest kids to become a Knight in the Empire's history," father spoke with a proud smile. "I and Thorin both taught him well," now he's overestimating himself.Ash was taught by almost Sir Thorin alone. My father just gave him protection by announcing that he was his apprentice. But if he never had enough time for his children, imagine for his apprentice."You should be more like him, Tavian," brother got bright red in anger and both me and Val smiled at his reaction. "He always takes his duties seriously, is clever and skilled." Dad turned to meet his eyes, making it impossible for him to look away. "Maybe if you had spent more time with him, you would be as skillful in

WHEN I WAS PREPARING MYSELF TO LEAVE, I remembered what I had forgotten to speak with my dad about. Thankfully, I recalled that just in time. After I finished the cup of grape juice, I looked at my cleaned plate without a piece of food left and took four cookies that were in front of me, catching their attention as planned.Although I was indeed putting the cookies on my plate because I'm still hungry and want to eat them. It's been ages since I ate one of those. Especially being made by Yoostaf, once he also cut ties with our family after Val and my parents died, just like Sir Leon. I just don't know where he went to.Either way, I took a bite and it was delicious! "You are going to get fat, if you eat like that, Natasha!" Mother pointed in a mean way as if waiting for me to get offended."Don't get me wrong, mom," I started when I finished that one, already with another on the way to my mouth. "But the training I undergo makes me able to eat as much as I can without getting fat.

KATE HAD THE BASKET OF COOKIES with her already when we met, so we didn't stop at the kitchen to talk with Yoostaf about it. That way, we headed straight to the training grounds, where Sir Thorin and Asher were sparing as usual. And it didn't take long until their heightened senses warned them about my presence and they came to me as if I had summoned them both. The other Knights around greeted me as always, respectfully."Good morning, Your Royal Highness," Sir Thorin, my swordsmanship master, said while bowing respectfully. As polite as I remember him to b. Oppose to others, he died but it was while fighting in the war."Hey, Nat," now Ash spoke as relaxed as always, without bothering with titles, which is quite comforting. "I'm smelling the scent of cookies," his eyes landed on the basket that Kate was holding. "Mhm," his honey eyes turned to me, suspiciously, "You brought this to us? Are you coming to ask for something?" Well, he knows me better than most people."Morning, Ash,

"THAT'S CALLED STUPIDITY," Asher exclaimed annoyed. "Now, let's stop beating around the bush, little dragonfly," until now I still don't see the resemblance between me and a dragonfly, and neither will I ever understand how he came up with this nickname, but anyways. "What's the second reason for you to come here? Because every time you come bringing us some sweets like this is because you need something from us. Well… usually from me! And I don't think it was related with the Knighthood Oath Ceremony." Growing up with me, of course, he would be straightforward like this."It's nothing complicated," I started, stealing one of the cookies from Sir Thorin's basket and Asher followed my bad lead and did the same. "I need to go out now, Kate is going to come with me, so I wanted to see if you can come too. Because it would be good to have a Knight with me, and once our master is unsuitable to do that because of his position, you're the only one I trust to do this," he smirked at that, ma

I STARED AT HIM ANNOYED, "Did you only pay attention to that part, dumbass?""Come on, Nat, you have to agree with me that this name is ridiculous. And why repeat the 'Beats' three times? What's the meaning behind that name? And why name a jewelry store, of all places, like that?" I do agree with him and I confess that I thought the same when I first heard it, but there's no way I'm going to tell him that.Rolling my eyes, I explained to him, "The owner has a little daughter who's still a kid. She named the place and for loving her, he let it be like this. Try not to judge such a thing that easily like that, Ash," kind of hypocritical for me to say that when I did the same. But no one has to know."Okay, I won't do it again. I mean… I'll try. But I still don't think I'll be able to say this name and still take myself seriously. It's too-""Childish," Kate blurted. "As it should be if it was a child who named it. Besides, I think is rather adorable that he didn't deny or threw away

"WELL, I WENT AFTER A TRUSTFUL INFORMANT and the person told me about all of it," at least, I could come up with a lie beforehand. "And no! I can not tell you who is it," I declared when Asher was about to say something."But if this crafter is so capable like you said, why isn't he famous?" He pointed, suspiciously. Pfft, he must be getting annoyed at this point."Do you think that he can be famous for having a jewelry store in a bad state and located on the outskirts of Theolia?" They understood my point.The answer was no, of course."Still, do you think those jewels he craft are indeed able to block any type of mind magic, Princess?" Kate questioned, skeptical.I can't tell them that I know how effective they are because I come from the future. And even if I said that they wouldn't believe me anyway. Then I just have to use the power of my word as a Princess this time. "I do! And I believe they are. So, if you guys have any trust in me, you will also believe it, okay?!" Sighi
