FIRST POV

What did I expect? Did I expect to fall into space and suddenly turn into an alien with a cool spaceship? Yes, maybe. I've only turned into a useless baby rather than a cool alien! I'm an intelligent woman, how could I fall into such trickery? I clenched my tiny baby fists in frustration and pouted. I started crying in a deafening voice. Suddenly, some maids immediately rushed in as soon as they heard me crying. The maids each held toys and they shook them in a way to make me stop crying; I only cried louder.

One of the maids rushed in and carefully picked me up, "Oh dear, why are you crying?" she gently patted my back and started singing me a lullaby "When the night sneaks in," what a beautiful voice. "Pick some flowers for my sake. The pretty stars smile, saying hi." I surprisingly felt relaxed. "Goodbye to the day. Tomorrow will bring a better morrow. So dream a pretty dream. Bye for now and sleep tight my child." I stopped crying and everyone looked relieved. Some of the maids left after seeing I'm okay now.

"Ah, you stopped crying. Are you hungry, princess?" I'm a baby, but do I have the ability to talk yet? I opened my mouth and tried to say 'Yes' but the only thing that came out was gibberish. The maid sweatdropped and just smiled "I think that's a yes. I'll go prepare your food, princess." What kind of role-play is this? I have read some novels like 'Lovely Princess', which also contain princesses and a shitty Emperor. But I would have never expected myself to live the life of a princess. But look at this place, I would've expected something more grand for the palace of a princess. This just looks like a place guests stay at. Am I from a small nation or am I a powerless princess? Ugh, I really don't care right now. I just wanna know what timeline and place I'm in.

"I've came back with your food, princess." The maid walked in with a tray of food which didn't look the best for a princess but still good for most commoners. Am I actually a powerless princess? I better be grateful though. The maid sat next to me and started feeding me. It does taste good, just not what I usually eat. "Are you enjoying it princess?" I tried to nod but accidentally flipped over and crashed into the food. Shit. The maid's eyes widened and she quickly picked me up. "Oh my goodness. Are you okay, princess? Let's get you cleaned up." She took me to the bathroom with some other maids following her and some other cleaning the mess I created. I feel bad.

☆-----&☆

Some months later, I got used to my life here. The maid that took care of me was called 'Sophie Jenkins' She had long brunette hair which was braided in one and some curtain bangs; her eyes were a beautiful shade of hazel. She was very kind as well. She was like a mother to me. My old mother didn't even care about me, she only cared about my grades. I did not have a dad. We were poor but we managed, since she did not have to pay for my school fees as I had a scholarship. After I went famous, she pressured me more and more. I left and told her I no longer wanted my old life. I started painting and she hated that fact.

Later, she died due to unknown reasons. I didn't feel sad at all. I felt nothing. I love Sophie more than my actual mother. And from what I've heard, I live in a palace called 'The Amethyst Palace'; It's a palace for the noble guests which stay here. Since the Emperor does not care about hosting any sort of ceremonies, I get to stay here. And you know, when I was born, my sister; whose name I do not know, is living in a palace called 'The Ruby Palace', it used to be the palace where the Emperor's concubines used to live in. Keyword: 'used to'. Apparently, a massacre took place where the Emperor killed everyone in the Ruby palace when my mother died giving birth and only me and my sister survived. My sister survived because father found her name 'amusing', while I was spared due to the Emperor feeling pity for such a useless being like me.

Actually, my mother could have survived if I wasn't born, my sister has a lot of mana but mine was so overwhelming, my mom couldn't handle it and died giving birth. I was more of an outcast than my sister due to that reason. Hence, resulting in me staying in this shitty palace. The story sounds similar but let's ignore that.

As I was thinking about that, Sophie entered the room. "Princess, it is time for your daily book reading," My mood brightened. Though I said I hated my academic life, I enjoyed studying and reading books, not only academic books. I just didn't like the pressure my mom gave me. "Today, you will learn a lot, princess" Oh yay, I don't even know who my parents are in this body. Sophie picked me up and put me on her lap and opened the book.

She read me some stories about past heroes from this Empire and other people. "The sorcerer of the tower had the strongest power among all the sorcerers in existence. The sorcerer of the tower was so powerful he could easily bring an empire to ruins. And for that reason, they freeze their own hearts." HOW "Because such powers could be used for trivial things if passion overcame reason and emotion overcame rationality. There are theories that the sorcerer of the tower destroyed the kingdom before our Empire." I wanna know what kind of powers I have! Sophie turned the page and I found a picture of someone familiar. In confusion; I pointed at the picture "Oo dis?" I tried to mutter up some words. "Oh my, do you recognize who he is?" He looks very familiar. "Yes, that's right. It's your father, princess." WOAH, my father?! Why does he look so familiar and cold. Where have you been you bastard?! Come take care of me! I started smacking the book. "My my, our sweet princess is certainly a bright young child." Fucking bastard! Why are you portrayed like a heroic king when you can't even take care of your daughters! "That reminds me, I've never told you The Majesty's name. Would you look at this picture again?" She pointed at the picture. "Your Father, Claude De Alger Obelia." silence filled the room. NO... NO!!! I've been trying to deceive myself into thinking it was all similarities and not the world of WMMAP, am I in Athy's body?! But if I was, wouldn't it have been Lily taking care of me? Why? Athy might've survived but what if I'm accused of poisoning her... Am I supposed to steal Claude's heart too?! But that's so embarrassing! And how will I even meet that man? I will have to go to the Ruby palace if I must survive... or I could steal riches like Athy and run away.. Yeah! That will work. I have to stay away from Claude to survive, while Athy is taking Claude's attention I'll be able to freely escape!

I used to be known for my intelligent and sharp mind. What has happened to me. "Princess, are you alright? You've been really quiet for awhile." Sophie suddenly spoke and I came back to my senses. "It must've bored you. I'll prepare some food for you and then you can play with your toys." I just smiled at her as an 'okay' and she let me walk around and put some other maids to look after me for awhile. After eating, I just held my toy and started hitting myself when no one was around. What did do to deserve this? What did do???? I started crying loudly and Sophie came rushing to me. She held me and patted my back "Oh no. I think she must be sleepy after eating."

She took me to bed and started singing the lullaby she always does "When the night sneaks in, pick some flowers for my sake..." Sophie's voice faded and I drifted off to seep wishing it was all a dream.
