“Uwaa.”

My entire body quivered when I heard rumors about the person who’s supposed to be my dad.

The only information I had about him was from the maids, but that guy was a total psycho. It was so obvious what kind of guy he was when I heard the maid unnies whispering.

The place that I lived was called was the Ruby Palace, and it was where the Emperor’s concubines lived.

In other words it was the Emperor’s harem. But for some reason, one day, the Emperor killed everyone here.

No one knew the reason why to this day.

My mother, Diana, was a dancer who was invited to the Emperor’s royal banquet and she had caught his attention, but afterwards, she was forgotten by him and birthed me.

Diana was a lowly commoner, so she couldn’t even be an official concubine of the Emperor.

Then she died leaving me behind.

And since then, the Emperor’s sole bloodline, me, has been abandoned here ever since. And so I was raised by the maids who were in the Ruby Palace.

Hmm, now that I say it like that it seems like we’re a real mess of a family.

No, all else aside, just what in the world is the Emperor doing leaving his only child here?

Anyways, so I was living in the castle where a violent massacre had taken place.

Shiver. After first hearing that story, I had nightmares every night. You had to be really evil to put a baby like me in this place.

However, I was more scared of the Emperor I never met than this castle where literal horror stories took place.

What if he was like ‘Oh yeah!’ and suddenly came over to kill everyone here? I just got to be a princess, but my life was already really hard.

“Ung-aung.”

Oh right. Did I already mention my name? In my last life, the manager of the orphanage had given me a random name that he found in his contacts, but in this life, my mother had named me herself.

And that name was Athanasia. It was a fancy name meaning ‘immortal.’

Lilian told me last night, and I thought it was an extravagant name for an outcast princess like me.

And it was also the same name as the unlucky princess in Lovely Princess.[1]

My mother probably named me that so I would be able to hold my ground and survive against the Emperor but....

Cough. But the Athanasia in the novel had died a tragic death at 18 and the name made me a bit uncomfortable.

And she died by the hands of her own father!

“Uhuh.”

So when I opened my eyes today, I kept on glancing over at the door in fear that my father was going to storm in.

At that moment, the door suddenly opened and I was completely scared out of my wits. But thankfully, it was just my maids. The maid unnies looked over at me like I was a complete nuisance.

“Sheesh, she’s still not sleeping.”

“Do we have to stay here? It’s not like she can move.”

“You know Lilian will make a big deal out of it. It’s so annoying.”

There they go again. They always bully me like that. It’s not like you’re much better than me anyways, since you’re stuck here too.
