The End of the New Start

Surprise, surprise, Today is my 1st birthday so we're holding a small party between family but in the end, it was a birthday party that was held by a Duke so it was extravagant.

Except for the maids and butlers, everyone around me was garbed in flamboyant outfits. The faint opera playing in the background created a pleasant atmosphere.

"Cut the cake, Lucia!" Suddenly, a Boy in his teen handed me a knife. his hand was trembling.

Who was this again? and why is he trembling?

Uhh, ah, okay, according to my great like memories, this man should be my older brother. His name is, hmm, Jackson.

heh, who even gave that kind of name to his son. do you want him to be some lumber jack or something. It jus too lame. Not gonna lie even my name is just a total garbage. the man so-called duke has no talent in naming. He is trashed.

'not like it was important now, but his actions just looks too suspicious.'

Besides, I had a party to attend and I just need to find out what these people gonna do and it will not be that hard to predict when you live for a long life like me.

Would it be poison? Or is an assassin hiding behind that chandelier? Or maybe a terrorist will bomb this venue? Or the religious and political war will accuse me as the 'cursed child' and throw me into a monsters' nests.

'I hope it was the later but probably it was the first or the second'

While I was thinking about a few future possibilities. I took the knife from my brother and cut the cake while everyone cheered.

just as for entertainment let's see

'Lucide analyze the cake'

[Potent poison detected ]

hah and here I'm thinking of several situations of what they gonna do. They choose to be a classic noble poisoning.

Ok now let's see the situation of my life right now, I was a daughter of a powerful duke in the continent and just at the age of 1. I was forced to face poison and the problem of a misguided brother. In the future, I need to solve the problem of my unloved father and create a strong political ground. even if I tried to solve this by running and abandoning this family there will be several consequences.

'this life is just not worth it'

without hesitation, I took the first bite of that piece of cake.

"Ugh!" And then I vomited blood.

My throat burned and my insides felt as if they were on fire. My legs went weak so I started falling.

'Judging by the symptoms and the burning pain I'm feeling, it should be a fast-acting cyanide-based poison. Interesting, I suppose, though I'm going to fucking die.'

"Lucia!" my father scream while swiftly catching me in her embrace.

'my ears you damn old man, is this your first time seeing your daughter die from classic poisoning, grow up you bastard.'

He was screaming like an idiot, even though his daughter don't even know his name

I catch a glance at the so-called brother and he was smiling. Maybe he was thinking that his small plan has succeeded or something.

'fuck you kid'

with my small voice and immature vocabulary, I whispered to this stupid old duke.

" itps, uh, Japson."

even though it's different from what I want. It was still understandable.

He was startled a bit and glanced at his son with a furious face, even if he doesn't care about his daughter. I was still his blood-related and to be a duke that responsible for the military and protection of the country to lose his daughter from an assassin is still embarrassing. This will scratch the honor of the Duke family.

'not my problem though'

This first life is fast. let's just move to another one and hope that I don't need to meet with some misguided family.

[attributes reincarnation has activated]

I'm out duke.

goodbye, cruel world.
