Retiring as an Incompetent Queen

“Down with the villain!” The townspeople rioted at the gates while Yu Yan calmly sipped her tea, occasionally nodding and raising her fist along with the riots like she was cheering on a football match. “Down with the villain!” she hollered along with them, on the balcony above. One of the townspeople snarled, “Do you have no shame? You kill us, and then you mock us?” Oh, right. She blinked, remembering. She was the villain. Oops. It had been two weeks since Yu Yan, a lazy millionaire’s daughter, transmigrated into the body of an incompetent Queen in a novel she read. Twenty years before the actual novel takes place, the villagers are set to riot and take over the Kingdom. “Aiyoo, if they want to riot, let them riot. If they get tired, send them water. If they need more people, go send the guards to riot with them. Easy.” She’s read enough books to know that the butterfly effect is dangerous. But this time, she won’t die. “Belluse, have you made the preparations?” “Yes, Your Majesty. The carriage is ready.” Fake her death, run away to the villages of the neighboring country to her secret mansion, die there, and hope for the best. Let the male lead sort out the country in twenty years. Of course, she didn’t expect the male lead to come find her. “Uh..Your Former Majesty…” He hesitated. “Your personal attribute says ‘Immortality.’” .... *updates every Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays* *600-1.2k words each chapter* *starting to get published on Royal Road* *contact me on instagram @enna.core for questions or just to talk*

Prologue

[can skip]

Do not expect a tale of Good, for Good does not exist.

Those of righteous beginnings, shall your will remain unbending?

Do not expect praise of Evil, for Evil cannot resist.

Those of treacherous beginnings, will you face a beautiful ending?

Do not expect anything other than a Story, for expectations,

You must desist.

Once upon a time, there was a Queen.

A Queen of a land that contained magic beneath the earth, a land where fantastical creatures used to live and roam.

A Queen of a land established by four Heroes, may they rest in peace.

A Queen who came from another world, far, far beyond the horizon.

The Queen who was not Good, nor Evil, for she thought dwindling on the lines that separated them foolish. Good did not exist, nor did Evil. There were only lines for each person, lines that they as an individual would not cross.

Of course, that hadn't stopped champions of both banners from opposing each other, time and time again.

But the Queen did what she had to do, and she didn't look down on others who did the same.

She hadn't wanted to become a Queen, at first. After being plunged into a world she knew nothing yet everything about, she ran away and tried to escape from her fate. Running, running. Always running, never stopping.

Some like to think fate is inescapable, that it decides our life and the choices we make.

They are half right.

Fate you cannot run away from.

But the path you take is up to you to forge.

The Queen ran away from Fate's clutches, until she ran into two others of her world. A Hero who had stolen his Title, and a Creator who wielded his Brush like a sword.

They laughed together, they cried together, and they conquered together.

The Queen had never accepted her Fate, nor did she ever believed in it.

In the end, she hadn't changed.

But even in the end, after she returned home, she never forgot.

What it had taken to be a Queen.

Do not expect a tale of a hero's birth.

Do not expect the ballad of a villain's voyage.

Do not expect anything other than a Story.

A story of a retired Queen.
