Princess! Your wig fell off!

Lyden was torn about what to feel, should he be glad that the suffering finally ended or should he feel regretful about not experienceing the beauty of life? Well with no time to dwell, his whole world turned black.

-----

What's with this sticky, slimy feel in my body? Aren't I dead?

Without giving him time to think, he was attacked with excruciating pain seemingly being squeezed hard by the walls around him. He can hear murmurs around him but he paid it no mind because of his own situation. This lasted for almost an hour before he was greeted by a blinding light. Without context of the surroundings, Lyden was quite confused but as a former grown adult, he didn't immediately panic and started to investigate around the place. He noticed one, unfortunate information, he seemed to become extremely myopic, everything seemed to be extremely blurred. Not finding information through the eyes, he decided to use his ears. Then he discovered something fascinating, he could understand the words of the people!

"The baby seems to be in shock! We need to simulate it" - doctor

*/Pak

"Uwahhh! Uwahhhhhhh!" - Lyden

"Congratulations! It's a healthy baby boy your highness!" - doctor

"No! It can't be! It's too dangerous for him in the palace!" - the woman

Lyden continuously investigated the surroundings through his ears and it seemed to him that the woman is the one who gave birth to him.

"Doctor! The empress is experiencing extreme bleeding!" - nurse

"I'll staunch the bleeding first, nurse tend to the prince first!" - doctor

"Not good! The Empress' pulse is getting erratic!" -1st assistant

"Doctor, we detected a slow-acting poison in the Empress' blood sample, hindering the body's natural capacity to heal!"

"It seems like I can't survive for long, can you do me a favor, doctor?" - Empress

"What is it, Your Highness?"

"Can you call my personal maid inside?"

"Nurse! Call the maid in here!"

Minutes after, the maid was called inside.

"Your Highness, you need to hold on! The prince needs to have someone to confide to in this chaotic place!" - the maid said in between sobs

" Mira, please make sure that he would live as a princess, only in this way can we assure his safety"

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand. I swear that I'll protect the prince even if I were to give up my life!"

"I know I could trust you Mira, you should also be careful in this place"

"Doctor, last favor, can I see my son for the last time?"

Lyden was brought back inside.

" My son, Remember that power is the most alluring but the most dangerous thing in this land. I don't wish for much, I just want you to live happily and contently. Do not let anyone know of your secret. Promise that you'll live your life peacefully. You should never, ever get involved with the succession rights! And from now on, Your name will be Chrisandra Rosè Lydandroff"

Eh? Isn't that too feminine for a boy's name?
