A child casually walks through the barren walls of the ruby palace, a sachel firmly attach to her hips and hidden to the prying eyes that will look at her way.

The child has the brilliant color of Cerulean eyes that glint in the rays of light, a wild mop of blonde hair tuck into a ponytail

Turning right at the hallway, she encountered a group of women chatting happily while holding a pair of cleaning tools, The pleasant atmosphere that she stumbled upon instantly disappeared as soon as one of them notice her presence, their eyes  met for a fleeting moment before the maid hunch down and quivered, Noticing this, The rest of the servant instinctively stiffen up when they registered the presence behind them and huddle like a sheep, seemingly finding the floor interesting.

Athanasia barely glance at them and resume her pace, no one dared to question where she was going .

To think that these very people look down on her back in her first life, doing whatever they want and steal the valuables that was already scarce in the first place, Athanasia couldn’t hold her huff. One bout of magic and they were already scared of her, one moment when she accidentally releases her bout of anger through magic and they quickly realize their place.

If she knew that those kind of things work splendidly, she would’ve done that in the first place. Though fear could be a great tool in making someone realize that she should not be trifled with, it wouldn’t help her in the long run. Backstabbers are trendy you know? They will strike at your moment of weakness and give the enemies the upper hand and so, She took measures to her own hand and made sure that they won’t speak of her little slip up.

not that they will be able to.

In the end, she didn’t care to what they’re up to and what they are doing in their free time, as long as they don’t put their noses into her business and run their mouths off to the outside world

Athanasia De Alger Obelia controls her fate, just as she did in her first life, She chose to be that poor princess that yearns for her father’s love and approval, decided to grovel up in his feet even at the moment of her impending death and resolved in being this meek pathetic princess that even aided to polish the source of her death into this perfect little princess that the Empire adores. She quelled the envy and anger that she felt as the things she wanted all her life easily fell in the lap of one dear precious Jennete to take, Innocent, Ignorant Jennete.

The brunette could take it till she suffocated now that Athanasia doesn’t give a damn shit about it. The Father-daughter duo could cuddle, have teatime and have cheesy moments together and Athanasia would mind her damn business from the opposite side of the continent, stripped away from the shackles of the empire and into this New, unknown person that enjoyed the life she never had the chance to experience in her short 18 years of life

Now that she was given a chance (Even if it somehow irked her), she was the one who was aware of the future that will never be, know the people that she encountered in her past and for that she will know what action she will take this time

The realization that she’s back in time of course shock her, that all those things she experiences in the past 16 years has been vain, It was overshadowed by the anger at the thought that she will experience those pathetic life experience all over again. No, Athanasia refuses it, it took her a year to takeover and supressed her other-

“Princess, where are you going?” She felt herself halt on the spot, curbed her annoyance at being stalled on her chosen destination by the very person she hopes she wouldn’t encounter and took a deep breath

It was Lillian Afterall, Athanasia is willing to let the older woman’s overly caring nature to play, as it was genuine and truly care about her wellbeing. The old Athanasia would’ve deeply appreciate this and even see her as her own mother, However, The old Athanasia is dead, killed by the hands of Obelia’s Tyrant of an Emperor and buried deep inside her heart that fuelled her determination to stay alive and continue on her quest

it’s just so bothersome if she had those eyes watching her every move, Athanasia could get away with reading tomes but it will spook the older woman out if she found out that Athanasia practices magic that she wasn’t supposed to know of and probably do something like banning her from cultivating her magic till she was older, it would be even great if Lillian would just go away, it wouldn’t do good if she was use as a or use herself as a leverage against Athanasia and take advantage of her old caring feeling for the woman

so please just stay away

Her magic is already growing unstable as it is, with the shocking revelation that the amount of mana she had is becoming like the one she once had at 16, almost like it was returning to her little by little. It should’ve been a boon to her but she saw it as a nuisance for now. This small, 5 years old body of hers wouldn’t be able to handle that much amount, her heart would explode and it would be another painful death for the Pathetic life of Athanasia. And so, she resorted into going to that person a little too early.

She just didn’t know how she will convince the old coot this time, a retired dark sorcerer named Arcturus

"To a friend" Athanasia muttered loud enough for the head maid to hear, she infused it with a bit of mana and watch as those brown orbs gain the familiar  hazy hue "i won't be back for a while"

Lillian's face scrunched up as if trying to fight the compulsion, Athanasia intently stared at her and ignored the slight guilt she felt as the woman conceded and smiled

"I see, please take care! I will wait for your return"

Lillian skip in her step and happily glided into the barren halls of the ruby palace, Jewel eyes boring into her back until Athanasia couldn't see her anymore

She release a sigh and entered the garden, stepping into the hedges and readied herself. her mind recall the place she wanted to be, remembering the lush trees and beautiful flowers hidden at the top of the mountain

A bolt of magic later and her form disintegrate like dust, rapidly carried by power and faster than the wind and into the place that she saw as her home
