Ashtarte

Chapter 2

A reincarnator, a prophesied child born with the memories of her past life. Ashtarte.

She slept through her first year of living, receiving only the slightest care.

Only fed with enough food so as not to die.

Only washed so as not to smell and not bother the ones sleeping.

There was nothing to do except sleep in the cradle, which had no ordinary mobile attached to it.

During the waking hours, she focused on listening to the stories of the only two maids assigned to the Empress’ Palace.

“No, well. Princess Ashtarte must be the rising star of darkness from the prophecy, right? She has never been visited once by His Majesty until now.”

“Or by the two princes.”

“So, it is clear that the morning star of darkness, in the Firenze empire, is Princess Ashtarte. I’m sure of it!”

Ashtarte mumbled, as if she was reviewing the information she had just learned while listening to them.

‘My name is Ashtarte, a princess, and there must be some kind of darkness… and also…’

“And listen! She wasn’t even bestowned with her own palace, was she?”

According to the etiquette, Ashtarte, a princess, had to receive her own palace from the emperor.

However, Ashtarte didn’t even have a decent palace to reside in, living as if imprisoned in the palace of her own mother, Rebecca, who died whilst giving birth to her.

And a year and two months later, Ashtarte took a little imperfect step.

No matter what she did, the maids didn’t even try to get her out of the cradle, as they didn’t care the least about her.

Perhaps they hoped for Ashtarte to become an idiot who could not even take a step.

When she first opened her eyes as Ashtarte, she was actually grateful to God that she had been reincarnated with her memories from her previous life preserved.

Even with shallow knowledge, you could do something with it.

It was because she was excited about the thought that her family might have loved her this time.

However, Ashtarte had never seen the faces of her family until then.

‘I’m sure it’s because everyone is busy. We will meet soon.’

But not long after hearing the chatting from her maids, she realized.

“It’s said that the princes visited Her Highness the Princess Amaryllis today!”

“I heard that His Majesty gave the lily garden as a gift to the Princess.”

That her family might never come to visit her.

But Ashtarte did not give in to such a situation.

She practiced walking while standing upright holding on to the side of the frame of the cradle.
