Lizue woke up feeling the pain all around her body. She looked at her hands, they were covered in bandages and had some blood on the white bandages. ''Damn it, I still have too many wounds. This is no good. I need to heal these wounds.' She thought to herself.
[Congratulations, Host. You have acquired the item, <Regeneration>.] the system said inside Lizue's mind. [<Regeneration> is an item that heals the user every 2 seconds for one minute. Cool down of <Regeneration> is 2 minutes. It can be activated through saying (Activate,<Regeneration>.)]
'Nice! I could definitely use <Regeneration>!'
Lizue was ecstatic. Without any hesitations, she said, "Activate, <Regeneration>!"
Immediately, Lizue's body healed. All of her wounds seemed like they did not exist awhile ago.
A knock was heard from the door. After the knocks, the door opened and a man with grey hair and was wearing a suit entered the room.
"Hello, Lady Lizue." The man greeted.
"Hello. May I ask, who are you?" Lizue politely asked.
"My name is Kan Albert. You can call me Butler Kan, My Lady." Butler Kan introduced himself and bowed.
"Do you perhaps know Jin Mascera?" Lizue asked. Butler Kan stopped for a second and then chuckled. "He is the young master of this estate, Lady Lizue."
"... where is he now though?" Lizue asked one more time. She is now obliged to say thank you to that brat since she knew that Jin and this butler rescued her from a near death experience.
"Young master is currently with the emperor." Butler Kan replied as he walked closer to Lizue.
Lizue was shocked to here that the Emperor is here, in this estate. "What's he doing here?"
"That I do not know, Lady Lizue. The emperor came in just awhile ago." Replied Butler Kan.
Lizue listed all the things why the emperor would come. Who is Jin Mascera really? Why did the emperor came? Does the emperor know she is here at the estate?
"Lady Lizue, please excuse me, but I need to change your bandages." Butler Kan said and started to unwrap the bandages. Lizue didn't reacted as she was too focused on her own thoughts this time.
As Butler Kan undressed the wounds, he was shocked to see no wounds or scars or even a drop of blood. He was petrified for about three minutes before Lizue also noticed what Butler Kan is doing.
She pushed the butler off of her. The butler then came to his senses and bowed politely.
"I am sorry if I made you uncomfortable, My Lady." Butler Kan said.
"You should be—" before Lizue could say anything, the door of the room opened. Then came in Jin, and three adult men. One was wearing the signature design for royalty only, had silver hair like Lizue and a posture of a royalty. 'Tch, definitely this guy is this body's father.' The second man was wearing a black suit that only the secretary of the emperor would wear. And lastly, the man next to the emperor was wearing a casual swordsmanship training attire.
"Lizue! You're awake! I'm so glad!" Jin jumped on the bed and hugged her. Lizue didn't want to be hugged so she pushed Jin off of her.
Someone cleared his throat. "I see you are well, Lizue. But... you are rather malnourished." The emperor said in a monotone voice.
"Well, thanks to your consort, Your Majesty. I have been fed with only soup and a hard bread everyday. Not enough nutrition for a twelve year old body of mine." Lizue answered as she held her arms and looked away. With this move, she looked miserable and pitiful. But inside, she was chuckling darkly. 'Haha, royal consort, how should I repay this debt of yours?'
Jin frowned. "Father, what did the consort do to Lizue?"
"Shh, son. His Majesty is here. Don't be reckless." Duke Tribillo said to Jin.
"Hmph, I heard you were almost assasinated the other night. But a butler of the consort saved you?" The emperor emphasized the word 'butler'.
"Not really, Your Majesty. Its just, the butler was there and I think the assassin thought he was an enemy that protected me and killed him first." Lizue casually spat out a lie.
"Is that so..." the emperor trailed, "Wayne, replace all of Lizue's maids and servants. I want them to report to me, and not to Delia."
"Yes, of course Your Highness. I shall do so."
The emperor stared Lizue. "I thought you were heavily wounded. Why do I not see any of your wounds?"
"..." 'oh shit. How should I react to that.... Oh wait! This is a fantasy world, so this works!'
"I have Healing Ability, Your Highness."
"Hmmm... alright, but it is rare for royalties of our kind to have healing abilities. Who did you get it from?" The emperor asked.
"I honestly don't know, Your Majesty." Lizue said truthfully.
"Hmm. Wayne, get a physician for the princess. Duke Tribillo, thank you for looking out for my... daughter. I will repay you for this. As for you, Lizue. Come with me." The emperor said. Both duke Tribillo and butler Kan bowed to the emperor. Wayne assisted Lizue to stand up and held her hand as they walked towards the main door where outside is the carriage of the royal family.
"Wait!!" Everyone stopped on their tracks when Jin shouted.
"Can... can I still be friends with Lizue?" He asked meekly.
The emperor raised his brows. "You have guts, kiddo. Seeing as you are so attached to my daughter, I'll allow you two to be friends. But be reminded that I won't be responsible for what will happen if you get into the palace like the last time."
Jin smiled widely and nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty!"
'Ughhhh! Really emperor?!' Lizue complained in her head.
Soon enough, Lizue, the emperor and Wayne boarded the carriage. When the carriage started moving, the emperor stared at his daughter.
"Lizue." He called.
"Yes, Your Majesty?" She answered.
"Where did you learn to defend yourself?"
Lizue was put on a tight spot. She couldn't say that she accumulated her strength during her last life as Yena. Yet she also cursed this emperor for being too observant.
"Tell me the truth. Who killed the butler?" The emperor asked sternly.
"Why, Your Majesty?" Lizue asked back. She won't back down just because this man has a higher authority than her.
"Answer me, Princess Lizue."
"If I said I was the one who plunged the sword into the butler's eyes to the back of his head that resulted in one-sided killing, would you believe me?" Lizue said, "I know you won't... or rather you'd have a hard time believing me since a malnourished twelve year old who just recovered from a fever killed a man much more healthier."
"Child, do you know who you are speaking to?" The emperor asked.
Lizue smiled wickedly, "I know, Emperor Ferata Agnus Quinnatlia. The sun and light of the Quinnatlia Empire. Who is also a hero who won the war between empires when he was just eighteen years old."
The smile of Lizue creeped the hell out of the assistant, Wayne. While Emperor Ferata bit his lip.
"Who... are you?" The emperor asked.
"It's just me, a princess who has no backing."
