2 Chapter 2

He pampered Liezel because she's the youngest but his attitude changed after knowing that she's the fake. However, he also didn't give Hazel Tancongco a very good treatment.

Hazel Tancongco sighed and started her plan on how to survive in the Old Mansion of Hunter Family. The car reached the old mansion and she stepped out of the car. She didn't bring her things as those things are not even hers to begin with but Liezel's spares.

"Young Mistress, I'm sorry!" The driver said as an apology. Hazel waved her hand. She has forgiven the driver. Anyway, they are already outside the gate of the mansion.

Hazel Tancongco looked up to the old mansion and, felt the good vibe and harmony of the old mansion. She put her point finger on the gate. The gate vibrated like a musical instrument but only Hazel feel it. The mansion recognizes its owner.

She smiles towards the old mansion.

"So, you are waiting for me, huh?" Hazel Tancongco mumbled.

"Miss Tancongco, these are the deeds of the old mansion and the territory around it. Old Master Hunter took care of it and named you as the owner of the land. This is to make sure that Miss Tancongco is comfortable in living on your own territory" the driver said and took out the documents.

She turned her back to the driver and looked down onto the documents. The folder stated its purpose.

[[Transfer of Ownership of the Tancongco Forest]]

Hazel Tancongco opened the documents and smiled when she saw the new name of the territory - Tancongco Forest. It was called Imperial Forest.

Everyone thought that the owner of that mountain exaggerated the name but they never know, it was because of the Imperial Heritage that only the Crown Prince, their ancestor knew.

Yes, the territory is the huge mountainous forest at the border of the city. It is the most biggest and huge mountain filled with greeneries with maximum territorial size of 200 million ha from the border of the city to the ocean, 50 nautical miles long, 500 km wide, including the sea grounds.

The Hunter Family only knows that the Hunter Family is most wealthiest family in the country but they never know that the Hunter Family was the descendant of Imperial Family way back three hundred years ago.

When the people sought after democratic rights, they rebelled against the Imperial Family because of the Imperial Family's sins, except the Crown Prince who supported such rebellion and declared the country as Democratic and Independent after serving for twenty years of transitions.

They seiged the territory and wanted the Crown Prince to lead the country as they somehow thought that the country is not yet prepared for Independence but the Crown Prince temporarily lead the country for five years in order to settle scores with the noble families.

The noble family heads were shocked after knowing the Crown Prince's might and let him do as what he wanted. Then, noble families were history.

After ten years of his temporary reign, he gave up the seat to the people of the country after declaration of Independence and built the democratic government to let the people choose their own ruler through votings of the common people, ranging from fifteen years and up.

After that he went to his territory, built a mansion, have a family and descendants until he died there.

After two hundred years later, the people forgotten the Imperial Family and they lived as one of ordinary families. The previous head of Hunter Family even erased their historical records as Imperial Family in the historical books of the country by fire to accomplish the Crown Prince's wish, his ancestor. Lastly, he renovated the mansion for his successor and descendants. He was the Third Head Master of Hunter Family.

However, after three generations, the Sixth Head Master sought after power and wealth. So, he went to the city with his descendants and lived there as one of the most wealthiest family in the country until in this generation.

Currently, Old Master Hunter is the current Ninth Head of Hunter Family. He still didn't pass down his title to his son, Hazel's biological father, because he is looking forward to his grandson, Lucas Hunter.

The mansion still stood there after many years but with one look - anyone could tell that the Hunter Family has a long history.

Hazel Tancongco smiled. If Old Master Hunter didn't initiative this to give it to her, she will certainly think that no one in the Hunter Family cares for her.

However, Old Master Hunter's arrangement made her think twice.

"He's too generous. No wonder. He decided to give me the mansion. The Hunter Family thought that I am prisoned by Old Master Hunter. But they never know, he only cares for his real granddaughter - Hazel Tancongco" she chuckled as she also couldn't believe of what the Old Master Hunter did for her. Didn't he really care for Hazel - his biological granddaughter? No, he still cares for her but his heart ached for what his son did. This sin couldn't be easily forgotten nor erased by mere apology.

"Also, they thought that the wealth of Hunter Family is based on the business industry but it's not. The real treasure of Hunter Family is this land. Once the land is given to the owner, no one can get it back even the previous owner" she laughs heartily and enters the mansion.

"Welcome to the Tancongco Mansion, Young Mistress of Tancongco Mansion" all new maids and butlers are warmly welcoming their new master with a respectful bow. Hazel Tancongco and the mansion is now called Tancongco Mansion.

She closed her eyes and took a heavy deep breathe. With a glint of her eyes, she declared to everyone.

"The Tancongco Forest is now closed and not accepting outsiders even those from Hunter Family, except the Old Master Hunter and Lucas Hunter! I will kill whoever disobey my word!" and her body exuded a dangerous aura from hell. This made the servants shivered, but not only with fear and horror but also excitement.

Everyone: Finally! A capable master!

Meanwhile, outside the Tancongco Forest. The world is still tainted red. No one noticed that the red clouds are not gathering around the huge mountainous forest nor nearby. As if, it is afraid of being beaten up. Fortunately, there are no residences near the huge mountain.

Hazel Tancongco feels the warm of the old mansion like it is welcoming its new master.

"Young Miss Tancongco, I'll guide you to your new room" an old woman, who is wearing a different color but with similar style of those maids, said with respect. There's no signs of contempt nor ridicule to her tone and eyes. This made her smile towards the old maid.

"You are..?" she tilted her head and contemplating. The old woman is a maid but she never saw her before in her first lifetime.

"I am Antonette Aquino, the Head Maid of this mansion. I was one of the Old Master Hunter's personal maid but I preferred to stay here when he traveled there" she introduced herself and curtsied. Just any usual ancient times greetings, as they believed that it is one of the Old Mansion's rules and they cannot go against it.

Hazel Tancongco's eyes widened her eyes as she stared at the Head Maid. Now, she remembers. Once in her first lifetime, she heard the maids in Hunter Family that an old maid angered Liezel Hunter to death she asked where the Old Mansion was located.

However, the Old Maid didn't reveal the location of the old mansion and stayed silent. When Old Master Hunter heard that Liezel somehow knows about the old mansion, he was angry and nagged at his son to educate Liezel to behave herself. The Old Master Hunter even once said that if he heard someone mentioned about the old mansion, they will be fired or kicked out of the family. Immediately!

Surely, Liezel couldn't help but be curious as to why the Old Master Hunter forbids anyone to talk about the old mansion.

"The Old Mansion? It is a prison mansion for the family members of Hunter Family who committed a treason against the family. If a member of the Hunter Family threatened its family to death, he/she must reside in old mansion. Only the Family Heads of Hunter Family have the rights to use that authority" he lied, without batting an eyelid. But it was effective because it shocked the entire Hunter Family, even the other family branch and never mention the old mansion again. Only she, who doesn't know about the old mansion and accepted the documents as the new owner while weird gazes are on her.

Before she transferred to the old mansion, Liezel secretly told her about the old mansion, just like what the Old Master Hunter implied. She asked forgiveness from Hunter Family and, specially, to her grandfather who arranged it. However, only frowns showed on her grandfather's face.

This lead to her being depressed, scared, despaired and hated everyone including her grandfather until she died in her sleep after three days of residing in the old mansion.

Anyway, she already tried to be connected with them but they refused. However, in her second lifetime in another world - The Cultivation World. There was also a similar forest and old mansion.

What bewildered her the most was that it just recently changed into Tancongco Forest and it was already three days passed since the change of names. It was also already three days since she died in her first lifetime and reincarnated in her second lifetime.

Because she lacked of familial love from her parents in the first lifetime, she treated her master as her own mother. She was an orphan in her second lifetime.

Her master even said that she has no soul when she took her to the sect and always muddle-headed for thirteen years. When Hazel suddenly speaks like the any other girls, her master embraced her tightly and stared at her brilliant eyes.

From that day onwards, Hazel becomes her only core disciple and taught her everything she knows. From alchemy to medicine. From Blacksmithing to Array Formations. From Taming Monsters to Cooking.

Every field her master have known, her master taught it to her without reserved! This shocked the whole sect. There were times that other disciples tried to bully her but was beaten by her until their masters couldn't recognize them anymore.

However, she died during her tribulations to step on Saint Realm. She was not beaten by her own tribulations but was betrayed by her own sect brothers and sisters because of the Sect Head Master's declaration that Hazel will be the next Sect Head Master if she successfully went through her tribulation and reached Saint Realm. Wasn't that the same as sowing discords between her and sect disciples? Hypocrite!

If it happens, she will be the youngest Saint in the whole realm at the age of 30. Because of their envy, jealousy and greeds, they killed her with the Array Formation which also killed the Saint Realm Late Stage - The Blood Sucking Array. However, she had no regrets at that time because she already lived for seventeen years in her second lifetime.

She was just sad that she had no longer time to go to Tancongco Forest in that lifetime. She was just glad that it was not Spirit Sucking Array. Otherwise, she couldn't reincarnate again in another world - The World of Sword and Magic.

She reincarnated in her third lifetime as the Youngest Princess of Ezare Kingdom, the poorest kingdom in the world. She was the 100th newborn baby of the lustful Emperor ever in the world. He sold his sons and daughters to the neighboring kingdom for his kingdom to hold on. The Ezare people no longer hope for their kingdom so they migrated to another kingdom and lived there properly.

When she was born at that day, her body exuded a radiant aura of a phoenix soaring the sky. The whole world was shaken because of the strong mana coming from the phoenix above and they all kneeled down to welcome it. Then, the phoenix screeched loudly and flew downwards towards the baby. The mana phoenix entered the baby.

When they heard that it came from the Ezare Kingdom, the biological sons and daughters of King of Ezare Kingdom flew up the sky with highest level of Magic. The Eldest Son attacked the Nobles of Ezare Kingdom, the Second Son closed down the businesses of the Ezare Kingdom and the Third Son took over the Magic Tower of Ezare Kingdom. When the neighboring kingdom heard these exaggerated stories of these three princes of Ezare Kingdom and saw it in their Magic Recorder, they were shaken to the core.

The other sons and daughters of the lustful King of Ezare Kingdom he sold didn't even want to be left behind of the thrill that their eldest brothers did and visited the Ezare Kingdom with Imperial sedan. Yes, they were all sold to the neighboring Imperial Families while hiding their birth identity.

They killed their own father using a cup of aprodiasiac wine and thousands of brothel women to death. They declared the 100th newborn baby as the new ruler of Ezare Kingdom but the three eldest brothers will be the Imperial Regents. They rule the Kingdom as the guardian of the 100th newborn baby.

Within fifteen years, all of the 90 children of the previous King taught her numerous magic circles, chants and spells either a defensive magic or offensive magic. They were even shocked to know that the 100th Princess of Ezare Kingdom reached Level 30 Magic - The Supreme Magister at the age sixteen when she was tested in front of the crowd during her coronation as the Youngest Female Emperor and Supreme Magister in whole world.

At the age of forty, she used the wood, water, wind, and fire to forge a human baby with her own blood. It is her strongest magic and she named him - Medorico. She almost depleted her mana reserves and rested. She has a 600 years of lifespan but she felt she couldn't live longer sixty years old.

Indeed, as she predicted she couldn't live longer than sixty years because she sacrificed herself to protect her kingdom. Her son Medorico started to reign since he was fifteen and became Supreme Magister when he turned eighteen, just like her. When the Demons God attacked the Ezare Kingdom, she used a God-Tier Magic Spell to kill the Demon God. Anyway, she already reached the Godly Magister at the age of sixty. So, she has no regrets.
