CHAPTER 2

P R E S E N T

I opened my eyes, finding mysef in someone's arm holding me gently as if i would break easily. Such a beautiful woman, i stared at her. Her eyes, resembles the ocean... her sapphire blue eyes speaks in depths to me. Her silver-ish blonde kinda messy hair drape around her small face, her eyelashes doesn't even flatter it feels like she's afraid she'll lose sight of me. She's very gorgeous.

I flash a smile at this gorgeous woman. As her threatening tears finally falls down from her smooth face. "Hi..." She greets me. "You're so pretty..." she breathelessly exclaimed. Then a man came, hug the woman from her back. "She got her beauty from you." The man says, he's wearing a very thick and elegant clothing resembles from the ones that oftenly worn by royalties from other monarch countries that highly gives importance to their traditions.

"But she got her eyes from you." The woman laughed lovingly as she gently touched my nose, which made me closed my eyes a bit then open it in awhile later. They looked at each other then bring their forehead closer, they smiled then laugh... look at me once again, my eyes flattered as a giggle escaped my lips. [What a lovely couple...]

Then a moment later, i fell asleep out of tiredness without even realizing. Again i woke up, then stared at the ceiling above me.

W-wait a minute! I thought it was a dream! Where am i?!

WHERE AM I?!

Sigh, [burb*] It's been a week already. I'm not really quite sure. But oh well, i figured out that i got reincarnated in the novel Why brother hates me and became Galena Honora Liechtenstein, the female lead.

Okay... okay... let's think this throughly. I died, while-

W-wait! A-Anthony! Anthony also died! I was frozen, i can't even think properly and i-i am at mess, Anthony died to protect me, but in the end i also died so the sacrifice he made on the past life is worthless.

Sigh, you know i didn't actually hate him... i was just envious of him... I just... I, i mean it's impossible for me to hate him because honestly speaking i actually liked him.

But now, i guess its too late. Even the chances of meeting him again to make things right is not even higher than 5% I got reincarnated but that doesn't mean he'll also be reincarnated like me. The chances of him being reincarnated is low. Because the ones who only has a chance to be reincarnated is a kind of person whose heart is full of regrets, dismay and disappointment from their past lives. Which perfectly fits a person like me. They prefered to call us Η τύχη του χρόνου or Fortune of time.

Sigh. I'll be living all of my life from now on as Galena Honora Liechtenstein. The female lead of a novel named Why does brother hates me? The book that i just finished proofreading the very day before i died.

I made up my mind, i would live this life just the way i want. Treat it as a chance to finally make my life more productive.

I smiled, i just need to change the original plot and make it mine. I stiil have a lot of time to polish my plan since the story will only start a year from now; the birth of the villain.

-----

So... A year had past. And today the second wife, Victoria. The first born lady of the first wife of Count Winchester will give birth to a healthy baby boy; the villain. The villain that suppose to make my life a living hell. Sigh.

Alright, from what i remember...

Galena Honora Liechtenstein the female lead, an outcast and introverted princess. She has a brother which is the villain of the novel, named Franz Dietrich Liechtenstein. They are the only remaining children of the king of Leichtenstein after the "Massacre of nobles" happened. Which is still nine years from now before it occur.

The female lead's loving parents, the king of Liechtenstein and his queen died in an accident. Leaving them all alone, the siblings were never closed to each other but never once in their life fought for the attention each of them receiving. For them they're merely stranger, aside from being only blood related nothing more.

Since the king and the queen died the only heir left for the throne is Franz. They grew more distant since Franz became more occupied in state matters, Galena however without anyone beside her began to feel lonely and greedy for affection which where she found at the male lead, Alois Maximilian Luxembourge. The first son of the duke and duchess of Luxembourge.

Time flies and Franz the current king of Leichtenstein began to receive anonymous letters about the "conspiracy" plan of his only sister and family. At first he didn't believed it but when he saw his sister with the current heir of Luxembourge, doubt filled his heart.

Soon enough, a secret investigation was oredered by the young king, with "false reports" he had proven his sister guilty at this acts of forming a coup d'etat against him.

He loathed his sister to his core, even planning to kill his sister with his own hands because he believed that he's the only one deserving to do it.

Princess Galena together with Lord Alois Maximilian of Luxembourge fought for their innoccence. At the end they succeed. But after hearing that his brother Franz had gone insane and went for massive killing... they originally planned for a real coup d'etat to happen.

But then regret it when he saw his brother slowly dying in her arms, asking her "Why? You're the only family i have, why kill me?" Which made her heart broke, soon enough the female lead without knowing also died in the hands of her trusted aide.

The siblings died at the same time and place bowing to have a new life and path to take.

In the end the male lead grieved for his loss, got depressed and got assassinated after a year.

The wealth of Liechtenstein was given to the goverment, the monarchy without heir leads to its downfall, the monarchy country then turned to a democratic free country.

The Liechtenstein grieved for their loss...

Okay so... it's not really the kind of typical R18 romantic and fantasy story. Its story plot line is unique and tragic at the same time.

Galena didn't really had a happy ending.

I am now a year and three weeks old, i can barely talk, walk or even stand for now so i am still quite relying on my maids while still learning it in the process... i'm not realy used to it. I am an independent woman in my past life, so i'm not really comfortable getting taken care of especially with my current form right now. My legs were too short, its plump. My skin's too sensitive and i'm afraid to ruin my skin and get scratched.

I sighed heavily. Myrna, my nanny pick me up and cuddled me in her arms. "Come princess, do you want to see the Queen?" I look at her then smiled, she might took it as an agreement because she laughed softly then touch my nose. I crinkled my nose to shoo her hand away, gladly she did.

"Awww... you're too adorable." She exclaimed. [Yes i know, i got good genes!] We get out from my chamber then she took me somewhere that's probably the Queen's place.

My parents, the King and queen.. i still don't know what's their name it wasn't given at the novel since their roles are for supporting only. Their death is the thing that push the villain to doubt the female lead because he lack a proper guidance and support from the king and queen.

I observed the place where we're exactly right now. We are at my mother's private garden, where she usually pass her time. She ildy sat infront of the roses, looking at it as she lost in her own thoughts. Our arrival took her attention. "This lowly servant greets the Queen." The nanny act in curtesy. "Rise." The nanny did as what she told so.

"Your majesty, the princess-"

"It's alright... you can leave us for now." The queen, my mother told her. She looked at me lovingly, and took me in her arms. "Hello dear. Did you missed me?" I smiled widly. She laughed then touch my nose. "What do we do? Do you want to play?" Then she tried to make adorable, cute but funny faces. Hilarious! I laughed hard, making me ran out of breath.

She continually played with me not until noon, it ended when my nanny together with a butler and an imperial knight went to pick us up. The queen was summoned while i'll be returning back inside my chamber.

She bid me goodbye by touching touching my nose before leaving. I guess that's how a kiss should be for her, i mean by touching the point of my nose?

I still can't believe i have a mother and a father... i didn't have anyone before in my past life.

Then i remember, if the prince is born today then our parents remaining time won't be any longer.

[This time i'll protect everything i have. Even if it means sacrificing my sanity.]

"Do you want to take a nap for awhile your highness?" Myrna asked me, i just looked at her then think. If Myrna would only leave me for a little while then i can sneak out to go out and go practice my magic. For the past few months i was able to awaken my core and in a short period of time i am able to atleast learn its basic fundamental with the help of some kind of ancient book that just appeared in front of me that took my curiousity when i'm six months old.

Plus i need to go where the villain's currently right now. I want to see him. Victoria, after giving birth to my supposed to be brother passed away while the villain would be almost assasimated in his own nursery room. Sigh, its really troublesome... i'm still a kid ya know! I can't even walk properly yet without tripping and falling!

Myrna lied me down on my crib. She tried to make me sleep, and as usual i tried to act like i am really sleeping because if i want to succeed then i should make her believe that her job's here finally done and she can now scram.

I sighed when my surroundings turned silent. I slowly open up my eyes then look around me.

I, a little bit control my weight then stand in my own feet. I open up my hands then make this ancient book appear right in front of me. My mother gifted me some kind of heirloom spacial ring when i turned one three weeks ago. And since then without them knowing i was able to figure out how to use it.

The humungous book infront of me was literaly jaw dropping, i don't know how i was able to read and understand it because since its ancient then letters and words were obviously written into ancient letters.

I am an elemental user, i can wield all the elements of the nature. But the only element i am still able to control is water and the ability to heal/purification. The rest i can barely control it yet. Maybe i'll get fully hold of it when i receive a proper guidance. Since water is a liquid its easier to control and for the fact that everywhere we go there's a water. Even in human body which 60% of it consists water.

This ancient book has a lot of important information about this world. Such as how the mordernized world of magic begin, races and tribes, even gods and godesses. Its a good advantage for me to stack knowledges that could help me throughout my journey as the current female lead of the noble.

Evening arrived and i prepared myself to sneak out of the palace. Imperial concubines have different chambers and palace's same with the imperial consorts thus, according to my resource Victoria's palace is located in east ward so it's a little bit far away. Fortunately i've got spells under my sleeves beforehand.

I made myself invisible unless i want them to see a child under the moonlight piercing with an intent to kill which would turn into a very problematic sequence. I also made myself float in the air, because as much as i want to enjoy walking around the woods i can't since my feet' disappoints me right now.

Sigh, finally i arrived without a sweat.... i should probably learn teleporting since its easier and very convenient for me at the same time.

I slowly made my way towards the nursery balcony. And tried to examine the surrounding. Outside, their are a total of 50 active knights patrolling the Concubines palace. Their security right now's strict. But i can manage. I peek inside the nursery, dim lights and silence greeted me.

As much as possible, i made my steps lighter than it already was. I stopped walking when i saw a dark blue eyes looking intently at me.

What the heck! He can see?! For realllll?

Our eyes meet, my eyebrows rose as he watched me with scrunity. Sigh, i made myself appear infront of him. His eyes reminded me the eyes of my mother, although his eyes does not reflects the warmth feeling that the ocean brings still, his sapphire ones speaks the coldness in depth of it.

An alarming steps took my attention, shadows slowly approching us. I made myself invisible again, atleast from their eyes... this young villain doesn't even know how to pretend(cocked-eyed) perhaps?

"Are you sure this is the room?" I heard whispers, must be the hired assassins.

"Yes, yes... i even saw the maid took the baby inside this room."

"Good... you should move now, i'll be fine by myself. Killing a new born's easier, go and accompany the others."

"Yes, sir... come!" I calmed myself and avoid doing unecessary movements that could get the assassin's attention. A slow steps finally reached us and a man in black clothing arrived, he fished out his dagger and walk towards where the villain's at.

Sigh, if i were him... i won't really do that. The assissn's hand was stopped in the mid air, he can't even move. I don't really know what happened but i'm sure it's Franz who did this.

I walk near them. I guess he out mindedly awoken his core, with the help of the desperation to survive. Impressing.

I need to help him tho, even if he already awakened his core still he's just a new born child which probably won't be able to handle it alone.

"As the wavering spirit of water you ran into the body. The princess of stream, i asked of you; with the rigidity concealed within you clench it all. Blood Flow." A bright light formed at my palm, the assassins body enveloped with the water mixed with his blood it formed in sphere time after time the ball of sphere colored in blood perish and became out of sight... he melted together with it. [My first kill.]

Sigh, i look at the new born Franz... his eyes widened, suprised by what he saw.

How adorable...

I made myself visible again. "Don't look at me like that-" i walked towards him and touch his forehead with my forefinger. "Someone like him, deserves to die." I said while smilling at him gently.

I thought, i would probably survived if i would make the villain fond of me.

Right, i need to make him fond of me.
