It was shortly after the birth when I regained my consciousness .
I knew it sounded a little strange, but it really was a day ago when I was born . Until then, everything I am was sunk deep into the water as if it were a dream .
My last memory, vague but barely at the end, was the fact that a strange man stabbed me in my stomach with a sharp knife, and I died after I was rendered unable to resist the ruthless hand of the man I saw for the first time .
Oh, Seriously! Come on! Even when you die of motiveless crime?
I opened my mouth in frustration, but what came out was not a proper word . I just wanted to say, âThis is so annoying,â but instead, I frowned at the feeling of my toothless gums hitting each other .
Whatâs up with this weird voice?
That was when I realized . Oh, thatâs right . I was a baby now . I felt somehow miserable . As soon as one died, reincarnation would come afterward .
âOh, when did my princess wake up?â
I know right, but when did he come in?
I felt a hand hugging my body and I instantly reacted by yawning for no reason . In fact, I couldnât tell whether it was night or day because my eyesight was so blurry . Of course, I had been getting better after a few days .
I didnât even know when I woke up .
I was already feeling drowsy even after sleeping the entire day . Like, a lot . What was the point of sleeping if one would still feel sleepy after they woke up? Even after a peaceful respite, I was relieved when I slept again .
Oh no, my sleepiness struck me again .
Even so, I was glad no one said anything to me when I slept all day .
Speaking of sleeping, should I sleep again?
I closed my eyes again, which wonât open well, and I smelled something delicious . Ugh, now I felt that a scent was delicious . Itâs over . I was really a baby now . When I opened my eyes, it was what I thought .
The repulsion lasted only for a moment . My body reacted even though I knew itâs motherâs milk . Iâm hungry . I ate hard because I couldnât even open my eyes at first, but now I can open them! Still, the situation has not changed much . Yeah, I should eat it . What am I supposed to do?
At least this tasted good though . I was busy sucking what had been passed on to my mouth and filling my stomach . I didnât know how I reincarnated, but itâs different to experience a babyâs life in action⊠No! What the hell am I doing!?
âYou donât have to be in such a hurry . Yes, thatâs right . â
I got curious about this sweet language filling my ears . Iâm sure babied learned languages as they grew . A newly-born child could not know the human language, but somehow their voices were always automatically interpreted to me .
Was that Korean? That canât be true though .
âPrincess, my princess . â
The lady patted me on the back as I finished eating . She was asking me to burp . I would like to do it quickly, but what could I do when I couldnât even hold my neck? This body is my body, but I couldnât handle it the way I wanted to .
Oh, seriously! Why do you keep calling me that!
She called me with that pathetic-sounding voice, and when someone heard it, they will think I was dying . I also felt like I was a serious patient who died after hearing that voice .
Yes, do not worry . Iâm fine here, nanny .
The nanny smiled at my little gesture . I was glad to notice it was a smile .
On a side note though, since they called me a princess, I thought my name was âPrincessâ or I was a child of a noble house . However, I was a real princess .
Oh my, what kind of twist is this?
Oh, but a bigger twist was lurking elsewhere . I wanted to be born in a really happy royal family, but now that I was born a princess,âŠ
Oh, he said heâd be here in two days, but he was already here . I grabbed the hem of the nannyâs dress in amazement . The nanny also stood in amazement with a pale face . The burf was back on its way . Oh, my .
So I was reincarnated . I didnât know the name of this body I currently used . Anyway, I was born under a huge responsibility, but I had a problem . My biological father was a bloodthirsty tyrant, Emperor Caitel .
He was the handsome guy who came in with him .
âGlory to Evangelium . â
As soon as I saw the Emperorâs heel, my nanny held me as she bent her knees . However, his scarlet red eyes did not even look at her .
The main character of the story I had been hearing all week . I had never seen him before . However, it didnât feel like I was seeing it for the first time .
Is it because I have heard so much about him?
Suddenly, the air that had cooled down in this room turned into tension . I tried to straighten my back even though it does not make any difference .
There was only eye contact, but my body was shaking . Those were unbelievably threatening eyes to use while looking at a child; no, his own daughter . The fierce look held me back in tears .
This madman will kill me if I cry .
His maddened eyes were as red as blood . Silver hair with a tint of red which looked like tanned oars fell like snow, and its beauty was magnificent enough to be praised as heavenly creatures .
Yes, this was that man . This felt wrong in my first meeting with my father, but I had no choice but to look up with a face full of discontent .
So this handsome man in front of me was the Emperor of Agrient Empire and my father . He was a tyrant called the Mad Emperor of the Empire who toppled over ten kingdoms within five years of his reign and built up this United Empire .
The heavy silence subsided . An expressionless and cool, insensitive eyes gazed at me with arrogance .
Those eyes looking down at me made me thirsty for no reason . Was this an effect of too much pressure?
At the moment, the tip of his lips twisted and a long stretch of eyelashes covered his eyes . Only then did the air weighing on me grew a bit lighter .
Ha, that God-like beauty doesnât suit to be placed on the face of such a madman .
My cheeks swelled by itself . It was easy to tell because my cheek was chubby .
He laughed at the sight of it .
Along with the voice of the bewildered nanny, I could hear the voice of another man . However, I didnât have the chance to see what the new man looked like .
It was because on my neck, yes, I had a big hand on my neck .
I stared at the pupil of the fellow who held my neck . His eyes were looking down at me and it was more threatening to look up at him . However, the fear it induced was not enough to kill me .
Itâs just, itâs justâŠ
Oh, I could not believe this fellow was my father .
My new life was already 90% sh*t .
I sighed with lamentation and tears in my heart .
I could hear a particularly small breath of a child .
He must have heard it too . The emperorâs eyes were showing a bright brilliance . It seemed strange that I did not react to him even though he held my neck with a hand . That was weird for me too .
I could hear a flustered voice behind him .
I felt pathetic hearing that flustered voice . Well, that was normal though . Anyway, I could not believe I am this calm even after facing an immediate threat to my life . Was it because of my experience of being dead once already?
What is the matter with me!?
I guess it was because I gave up this life as soon as I was born .
Phew⊠those terrible rumors about him . Fundamentally, he massacres people on a daily basis, and he is a madman who killed all the women he slept with . There would be no difference even for his child .
Yeah, if he would kill me, then do it quick . His eyes, that was not a fatherâs eyes . Oh, my life . What is the point of being reborn when that fellow was my father? I had not sold my country out of my previous life . If itâs not like that then why is my life like this now!?
Caitelâs lips, which had been holding my neck still for a long time, moved . Suddenly, the cold hand holding my neck disappeared . He grinned as I shook my head against the sudden vacancy .
âLetâs call it that . â
This was the first encounter between a mad tyrant and his only daughter .
A babyâs life is monotonous . Eat, sleep, eat, sleep, eat, sleep, and repeat .
Yeah, that was really the end of the day . So whether my father came or not was none of my concern, I laid down the cradle because I had to stick to my daily routine . The sweet, fragrant of the fluffy quilt tickled the tip of my nose .
The nanny who was patting me on the back until the burp came out again, was now smiling at me . Her face was filled with relief .
âYou did great, my princess . If you burst into tears there, your throat would have blown away . Very nice . â
That is true, but I could not help but get angry . Wow, was she talking to the baby about that? It was so unfair, but I could not speak, I did not have teeth, and above all, I was a baby! Boo-Hoo!
âCome on, you should sleep . â
I hate you! I hate you! I hate it!
I closed my eyes as I glanced at Serira, my nanny who was only twenty-three years old .
Fine . I am going to bed since thatâs what you told me .
I was twenty-five years old before I died, so no matter how much I tell myself that Serira was my nanny, she still seemed younger than me .
The fact that my father was infantile, clearly implying my life is already half ruined . The fact that Caitel had already returned from sweeping the southern kingdom of Icharta, told me it had been swept away a long time ago . I did not know what blood smells like, but my nanny told me earlier how the Emperor had the scent of blood around him .
âCanât you sleep? Would you like me to sing you a lullaby, princess?â
I nod, with my sleepy eyes close . It was just that little movement, but Serira smiled after seeing it . She was so pretty when she smiled . I heard she left her child in a family home when she entered the palace . I guess she managed to do it somehow .
âGood night, my baby, in the front yard and in the back garden . â
The familiar lullaby I felt like I heard when I was baby in my previous life blinded my eyes . I did not know if I am sleepy, but, letâs get some sleep . Itâs sad to think so .
Oh, my gosh . I think Iâm a real baby .
Iâm about to fall asleep . At the same time, my previous memories and thoughts were intertwined . Iâd been hearing things all week . You would die soon, the Emperor would not let you survive, or something like that .
More specifically, that lady in the past died like this, and the other lady died like that, so this was how they would die this time . Well, that was all .
Besides, my mother was already dead, and when she gave birth to me, my father raised his army to fight the kingdoms of the South . I thought I was the daughter of his first wife since I was called a princess, but my father was extraordinary . Heâs twenty-six years old, but he still did not have any concubines .
Nevertheless, I was called a princess because I was his only child .
âHow surprising for His Majesty to leave the princess alive, and give her a name . â
âHush, do not say that . â
Oh, sheâs here again . I wrinkled my forehead with irritation at the voice I heard in my sleep . The provider of my knowledge, and the woman assigned to me, Elene, was a chatty person . She was so loud . It is not been a day or two that I woke up sleeping with her voice .
âThe princess woke up . â
âOh, she is sleeping well . â
Haha, you are funnyâyou woke me up! I wanted to say something to Elene, but as soon as I realized I couldnât because I was a baby, I felt so sad .
âSorry, I got it . Iâll be quiet . â
When Elene got depressed by my nannyâs voice, I finally felt relieved .
I went back to sleep with a relaxed expression . Elene could not stand it and chat about the new news .
Leaking the story in one ear, I recounted the stories I had heard .
