The day I smiled with the Moon
Elizabeth Vernigold, princess of the kingdom of Aspheria, the youngest and most beautiful current descendant of the royal family.
With this description everyone would think that the princess's life is amazing, but the truth is very different and much more obscure and dark.
Being the illegitimate daughter of the king but also the only one with the skills and intelligence to assume the throne and the position of queen was something threatening to her "pure-blooded" brothers. An affront to society that needed to be corrected immediately, no matter if the princess was only three years old, her punishment would be given.
And it was then that at the age of three Elizabeth was betrothed in marriage to a strange boy two years older than she and that was the illegitimate son who came from the suburbs of the family of the poorest duke.
For society that marriage would bring so much disgrace to the princess that she would never try to usurp the throne even if the commoners unconditionally supported her.
But Elizabeth's life didn't get better after that decision, after the marriage and after the divorce it just got worse and worse.
To the point that she died from lack of nutrition on an unknown island, living in a village infected with a plague.
And this was the story well known after a few years as 'The cruel fate of sweet Elizabeth'.
But what if that weren't so, if her fate was different, what would happen if Elizabeth Vernigold, the dreaded Princess of Wisdom, reincarnated and changed her fate and this time she would live as she wanted.

"When death catches us there is no way to escape, death is the only one you should fear. That's what my mother told me" Hair as dark as night, eyes as black as the densest darkness, when the man finished speaking he placed his hands on the balcony and bowed slightly
"Your mother was wrong then, because you can't even kneel for death, being afraid of death is the same as saying you're afraid of living, death complements life just as life completes death, if you live you will die someday and if you die it means that you have lived, so to say that you are afraid of death is the same as fearing the end of life that could occur at any moment , so basically you would be scared all your life because death can come at any time which brings us to the question if you live and you will die why fear death? Death is part of life, accept it and you may have another chance." Snow-white hair and eyes blue as the deepest ocean, the beautiful maiden approached the young man and looked at the moon with him
"You look like the moon, mysterious and at the same time so open, elegant yet repressed by society's critics and so far from reaching."
"You only compare me to the moon because of my white hair, but you're not the only one so rest assured. But I think you're right I have some similarities to the moon, but I don't think you'll ever understand the depth of my words" he looked at her confused, but this wouldn't be the first or the last time he wouldn't understand the strange words that come from the lips of that woman who is as cold as ice.
Slowly she straightened up elegantly and started walking towards the entrance to the ball
But with the wind in her face, the moon shining and the words stuck in her throat she stopped and as she held the door She said "You know maybe you already managed to catch me in another life"
And whispered last "But not in this one"
