The Princess Is Evil

Chapter 1 - Birth of the Wicked Empress

"Why aren't you crying?"

To be honest, I really didn't want to be reborn in this body.

'That's right. It's normal to cry right away...'

I was led into this body. It was never my choice.
So,

"Would you like me to smack your butt?" Someone asked.

'Please protect the witch's dignity, won't you?'

I tried to express myself, but they were trivial humans with no talent in grasping the expression of a newborn baby.

"Slap!"

There was a sharp sting in my hips. Damn it! Damn it! It's so shameful! I'm the most powerful witch! The fire witch who dominated all the veins of the southern mountains!

"I wonder if there's a problem with it... Would you like to call a doctor?"

"Oh no! What to do if his majesty finds out! Forget that idea, it's useless. No way!"

"Well then, one more smack..."

"Let's do it one more time?"

I opened my mouth without hesitation.

"Waahh!"

Hearing my arrogant cries, they were so relieved that they didn't notice the strangeness.

"I'm glad."

"That's it."

Then they patted my back as if to soothe me. Human, take your hand off! I wanted to say but the body of this newborn baby did not move as I wanted it to.

"Our beautiful little princess."

Then they all said the same thing in unison.

"Please survive."

"You can't die."

What are you talking about? Until then, I didn't know whose body my soul was in. Well, even if I knew, there was nothing I could do about it.

Round and round. The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes again was the spinning mobile hanging from the ceiling. A sigh brought me back to reality.

"Hiyu."

Of course I had no intention of making such a cute sound. This one year old body is unable to properly express my frustrations. I struggled to lift my arms and very small hands caught my eye.

'Why is this happening?'

I asked, but truth is that I already knew. Why? It's because of that child Lacus who betrayed me. Ugh. Instead of teeth, I had gums which I clenched tightly. I lived for over three hundred years as the only witch on the continent. I was powerful enough to destroy a country, but I wasn't really interested in it. Because I hate humans. I was too disgusted to have contact with humans and killing them? It was a waste of power to use on such creatures. So I lived in my home in the southern continent, where humans rarely went. Rumours were spread in the human continent about where the witch lived so humans never came near and I lived comfortably without encountering humans. Until I met Lacus, the youngest prince of the Karel kingdom. After being chased by assassins, he dragged himself into the mountain range where I was. And on his knees he begged me,

"Please save me. Please, please."

I'll say it again, I hate humans. But at that time, as if I was possessed by something... I fell in love with him at first sight and I felt human emotions for the first time. So I saved him and followed him to the kingdom of Karel. Did I just leave like that? I watched his back, made him become the crown prince and even brought him the throne. On the day that he promised to propose, he told me,
