Chapter 1

"W-what is this ?!" I screamed as I looked at myself in the mirror . I looked younger , my golden eyes no longer dull and dark .

My eyes shone like gold in sunlight , my dark brown hair cascading down my back reaching just below my knees .

Thankfully there wasn't a maid in my room yet , I'm sure she would think something was wrong with me , if she heard my scream .

"This is a just a dream Amia , just a dream " I kept mumbling to myself , there was no way I just went back in time . I slapped myself , to see if I would wake up , to my disappointment I didn't.

"Oh god , it hurts " I mumbled as I rubbed my cheek , regretting slapping myself . I was seriously confused .

The last thing I remember was , my carriage getting attacked by men dressed in black cloaks , I couldn't remember anything . I'm sure I had gotten stabbed , lord did I seriously go back in time .

"Shit , where's the calendar when you need it ?" I complained in annoyance, as I looked all around my room not being able to find it in the huge room .

"Your majesty , may I come in ?" I heard someone ask , probably my maid . Oh god , I can't let her come in and see myself in this state .

"Please wait outside , I'll be out in a minute " I replied not wanting my maid to see me in this state , I looked like I had just escaped from an mental asylum .

I was the empress , Amia Elenburgh , my father had married me off to the emperor thus resulting in me becoming the empress. I was originally Amia Carmine , the only daughter of the Grand duke Carmine.

I had been married to my husband , the emperor Adrian , for 6 years , in all those six years we didn't have a kid . Truth be told the only time we kissed was during the wedding the ceremony . This was an arranged marriage none of us wanted . My father didn't exactly like that fact , the only reason he married me off to the emperor was that a descendant of his could rule the empire . He was nothing but a power hungry bastard .

But it seems I went in back in time , to an year after my marriage . As far as my memories could tell , I had been assassinated. No matter how much I hate the fact that I have to live this life all over again , I wasn't exactly complaining.

I looked amazing, it seemed like there was life in my eyes , something that had gone extinct in my past life . My dark brown hair long and silky , my pale skin practically glowing . I think I regret cutting my hair in my past .

Regarding my death , I was killed on the way to visit my father , Damien Carmine . I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one who ordered the assassins to kill me . Since he had been expressing his displeasure that I still didn't have a kid . And he couldn't exactly be described as a decent father .

But I was clear on one thing , this is my second chance at life and I won't be wasting it . I won't allow anyone to walk over me anymore . I was the empress one of the highest pillars of authority. I'll make sure that those who dared to look down on me will never even think about doing something like that again .
