“It’s you again, Your Highness.”

‘I wonder if he was waiting for me.’

I looked at the man before me, masking joy behind his low-pitched voice.

Pale skin, dark brown eyes peering at me through spectacles, neatly combed, pitch black hair and a low hair tie.

As usual, dressed in a black tailcoat that covered his frame to his jawline.

Why does his neat appearance look so cheeky today?

So, the fact that he’s finally here…

Purposely, I made my tone offensive.

“Yeah, it is me again. Must’ve been a shame.”

“…..”

He pulled and loosened his cravat as if he were thirsty.

His stoic expression as he loosened his tie gradually softened.

Gulp, I swallowed my dry saliva.

“Your Highness probably doesn’t understand the meaning of being here.”

His distinctive deep voice trailed off, and the moonlight illuminated his silhouette as he turned his back to the window.

I mean, I couldn’t bear this.

A voice conveying no enthusiasm for anything coupled with his dark brown eyes that showed no emotion.

However the passion he repressed within himself had led him to this situation…

‘As expected, it’s because of his love for her…’

The gladness I felt in seeing him was soon replaced with misery.

Conscious of him seeing my expression, I took a step back. Hiding my face under the moonlight.

“I don’t know why? The plan to kidnap the wonderful Lady of the Rosebury has been prevented.”

“…..”

“I’m sorry.”

I smiled, lifting one corner of my mouth. I unknowingly tightened my grip on the hood of my robe.

I held a small device in my hand. A magic tool to summon the black knights that were stationed outside to come at once.

But I knew how useless this was.

As this man in front of me was a sorcerer.

Despite possessing massive magic power, he was a sorcerer who was unable to study at the Magic Tower and thus self-developed his skills.

Even just one of his unique and light tactics would be difficult for the knights to counterattack.

‘Because he is the most powerful sorcerer of this generation.’

But then, I knew he wouldn’t harm me. No, actually, I thought he would. ‘But now that it comes to this… Indeed, it was all just my misunderstanding.’

Unknowing the reason for my sinking heart, I formed a vicious smile. With a heart toward throwing stones into the calm waters,

“Is it disappointing?”

There was no agitation on his face. Why I found it unpleasant, I still couldn’t fathom.

In fact, I didn’t want to think about my innermost feelings, which got complicated every time I faced him.

Because from the start, his heart was already set.

The Lady of Rosebury, Amelie. The heroine of this world.

This man, Lucifeus, is the ill-fated and obsessed second male lead who kidnapped her.

And I reincarnated with the goal to assure the relationship of the main characters goes smoothly.

It was natural for me to interfere with his plan over and over.

In my attempt to prevent the trials thrown at the main characters’ loving relationship, I fell snarling into his schemes instead of the female lead he had planned to kidnap.

However, today was somewhat… different from before.

Is it disappointment or annoyance?

Perhaps anger.

With my curious expression giving away, I forced myself to glare at him.

“Whatever it was, don’t blame me! The plan must have been a little sloppy because Sir was crazy about the alliance. Yet again, the effort was in vain.”

“Certainly it’s a pity.”

“…I guess so.”

Every time he expressed his affection for Amelie, my heart sank helplessly. I unconsciously bit my lower lip.

“By the way”

Lucifeus’ eyes deepened as he looked at me.

“Because Her Highness always blocked me, my disposition is not very good.”

Lucifeus stated. His words still contained no emotions.

Yeah, it’s a shame…

“Why don’t you engage in a healthier relationship? Not someone who has a partner!”

“The one with a partner, you mean?”

Lucifeus’ eyes shone brightly through his glasses.

Oh, he fell in love with Amelie before her relationship with the male lead.

“That’s the biggest problem! Of course, the problem is that her partner is Sir Leopold, who is also your friend.”

“…Your Highness always knew everything.”

Thump, the sound of footsteps was as soft as his voice. The shadows on my face grew darker.

I tilted my head down as I avoided his gaze.

“What is going on in the royal palace, what items are coming out in this secret auction, and why does the aristocracy covet them.”

“That’s…”

“Even the fight for the succession of Marquis Gables, or the fact that the aristocrats are paying attention to Hilberg.”

There was nothing to answer, so I just bit my lower lip.

“As you were aware of everything…”

Lucifeus’ last speech seemed garbled to me; I was unable to follow his meaning.

The silence continued to drag on, then he suddenly raised his hand.

His hands were always covered with black gloves.

He hesitated for a moment as he tried to move toward me, but then, he bit the finger of his glove and slowly pulled to remove it.

He was resolute in covering up his whole body, but sometimes he would show only his bare hand to me. And for that I….

For a moment my heart trembled at the memories that suddenly passed through my mind.

“…Her Highness has no reason to come here.”

His bare fingertips lingered from the tip of my chin to the apple of my cheek, and he then pressed his thumb on my lips. Unconsciously, I stopped biting my lip.

His touch had always given me a hot tingling sensation… I can’t let my composure fall apart like this, no, I took another step back.

As if I was hiding from his shadows.

The pale hands touching my face stopped midway between us.

The look in his eyes seemed a little melancholy.

‘No, everything is just an illusion.

‘Maybe it’s just a courteous sympathy.’

I lifted the corners of my mouth, trying to cast aside my self-ridiculing feelings.

“Well, do you want to personally inform me that my plan has failed? I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

“…if you did, it was something meaningless.”

His expression stiffened subtly in the shadows.

Yeah, you thought you would successfully kidnap Amelie but you failed, you must bear ill feelings towards me.

I spoke a little more loudly.

“It’s meaningless, Sir. Because you won’t achieve what you had hoped for.”

Lucifeus said nothing in response.

No matter what I said, I felt angry whenever I saw him coldly sinking. Why did I come to this delusion?

Why, in the end, I couldn’t stop the feelings I held for the heroine.

“Do you think that Lady Rosebury will give you a piece of her heart?”

“…..”

“That’s not love. Just twisted emotions, Sir! Wake up!”

Heat emitted from one of his eyes, and still, he was silent.

Did I succeed in tweaking his nerves? Maybe I was the one who was offended by my own words.

“Even if it was love, the way you express it, respectfully is wrong.”

Yeah, I felt offended.

His prolonged silence cloaking his true feelings was very unpleasant.

Why? What do I want to hear?

And why do I want to let him know that his passion for her is not love?

He slowly clenched his hand that was still caressing my lips.

I didn’t like whatever I was feeling from his actions. See, this was the issue.

I kept reading other intentions into his gestures.

I struck his chest.

There, yes, there was resentment.

“Why didn’t you avoid it?”

His calm composure upset me. “Don’t cling to others..!”

“Why don’t you know?”

The moment I tried to strike him again, he snatched my wrist.

I tried breaking free from him but I knew in the first place, it was impossible. There was no way to disengage from his tight hold.

“Let me go!”

I raised my other arm and aimed a blow at him, but the result was the same.

Warmth emanated from both of his hands.

“Let go!”

No matter how much I screamed like a madman, he still looked calm.

I tried to twist the grip away with all of my might but his hold remained the same, not moving an inch.

“It’s you who doesn’t know.”

Suddenly, he pulled my arms by the wrists he held. I lost my balance, heading face first into his chest.

“…Isn’t it Your Highness?”

“I know what? I know everything better than you Sir! I know the futility of your attempts.”

“That kind of thing!”

I was startled by the sudden voice above my head. Not because his voice was loud, but by how pained he sounded.

It was evident that he held his breath as much as he could so that I wouldn’t be surprised as he cut me off.

…I think the issue lies in the trust that was built up, “Do you think I don’t know that? How I…”

The dark brown eyes that I had always thought apathetic… Clearly, an emotion was clouding his gaze.

“Do people know you can make that face?”

“Your Highness… Wasn’t it dangerous?”

What?

At that moment, I lost my composed expression without realizing it.

“I wondered if I could see you like this, but I didn’t expect you’d come…”

I couldn’t believe I heard it correctly, and so I looked up at the man who was looking back at me. A subtle heat radiated from his face. Faintly covered with feelings of pain, regret, relief, worry, did I anticipate this?

It felt like something in my heart began to melt. I couldn’t take my attention away from him.

Suddenly then, his forehead bumped into mine… I slowly closed my eyes.

As if it was natural; as if it had been decided for a long time, I came to this place, knowing, as he came.

Yes perhaps, if I really have someone to save from being born in this world…

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

I Became The Youngest Princess Of Asuramasura (1)

There was a story in the beginning.

From the beginning of the story, I remembered my role. I’m unsure whether my eyes were closed or open, but a feast of white light poured into my retinas.

‘This must be salvation.’

It was the only thing I could think of.

***

I often whined during the night. But I didn’t wake up or truly cry. It was because every night, without fail, I dreamed the same story repeatedly.

‘Are you all right, Lady?’

‘Do you think I’m lonely?’

‘Don’t talk to me as if you know me.’

‘The young lady’s mother’s name… what is it again?’

‘No..! Calm down, Millie!’

As if I could forget any part of it.

And so, as I grew and my senses had gradually begun to develop enough to accept the adult’s reasoning, I began to understand what kind of situation I was in.

“It is a great blessing for Asuramasura.”

…what a weird country name.

“Your Majesty Optimus III is so virtuous…”

The name sounded like the giant robot and made me think of the daily necessities of modern people.

And so, stories that take place in Asuramasura under Optimus III continued to play in my chaotic night.

Yeah, this situation was really familiar to N-year-old Romance-Fantasy novel readers.

The name of the country and the name of the Emperor I’ve heard of, and even the fact that I, a newborn, know of him…

So, I was possessed by the book I had read. Is it more accurate to say that I’ve transmigrated?

My last memory of my previous life…

I was walking on the Mapo Bridge.

The phrases ‘Think of the good memories’ and ‘You must be having a hard time’ caught my attention, but the reason for the bridge’s fame had nothing to do with me being there.

It was a bad day, and I was on my way home after drinking beer and soju by the Han River Park.

My face must have been red from alcohol. I caught a breeze of air from the river and

picked up my phone and dialed the top caller on the call list. It was something I did once or twice in the evening for several days, and a few times at the riverside today.

[♡My love♡] ↗(13)

– Rrrrrrr…

Thoughts clouded my mind at that moment, as I listened to the dial tone that I had heard dozens of times for the past several days.

Half of me hoped that he would pick up, at the same time, half of me hoped it wouldn’t connect again.

If he answered, I wouldn’t know what to say or what I wanted to hear. Because I wasn’t prepared for anything at all.

– Cannot connect to the voicemail…

The automatic response message I had heard countless times today alone was clearly stuck in my brain even with the noise of cars passing by.

‘I knew it…’

I stood still holding my phone.

A goodbye again.

Although I did my best in a relationship, it always ended the way I didn’t want.

Sound of cars passing by deafened me.

I don’t want to be alone today. Shall I go home?

“Your brother’s examination is just around the corner. What’s the rush?”

“You’re going to be bloated if you eat chicken!”

“Spending the money on useless things rather than using it for your younger brother’s medicine. How did I give birth to such a fool…”

…No. Then maybe a friend to call at this hour…

“Have you seen your ex-boyfriend? Did you say you transferred? It was worth the transfer. Much more you…”

“Don’t you feel pressured because you’re doing a good job? Usually, men ran away when you chase them.”

The faces of family, friends, and acquaintances played through my mind, but the ambitious words I heard one day jolted at me.

“If we were in a novel, even if you act like that, there’s still a destined person for you. I’m jealous…”

Recalling the novel’s story, I lifted my head and sighed as I walked along the riverside.

Suddenly, my vision blurred.

A red streetlight, red rear lights of a car passing on the street, and the skies dyed red with rain clouds…

Then, there was darkness.

That was the last thing I remembered of my past life.

Have I died? Actually, I don’t know.

If I say it like that, can’t I say it’s my past life? Well, I don’t know… What was certain is that the life I have now is my real life.

‘This must be salvation.’

Wasn’t that phrase that remained vaguely in my head, a turning point in my life?

Ahh, I’m sleepy…

‘I think I’ve done everything for today.’

I may have lived for twenty years in the past, but maintaining my consciousness was so limited, it was difficult to recognize my surroundings. Maybe it was because my body had not yet properly developed.

“Look, the baby’s yawning.”

“She’s like a baby bird.”

“She’s so lovely.”

Haa, sometimes it’s a bit awkward to hear those compliments.

“The baby is now sleeping.”

“She’s supposed to sleep a lot at this time of her life.”

“You were like that too when you were a baby.”

At that moment, I sensed that my presumed family members were around near the cradle.

But, why does my family look at me like that?

‘Is that possible if you’re a baby…’

Losing my senses, I fell asleep again.

How many times did I repeatedly fall asleep and wake up? One day, I was bitten and I was confused whether it was my body or someone else’s.

After a while, the surroundings grew noisy, and I slowly opened and blinked my eyes.

‘Why are there so many people?’

There seemed to be more than ten people gathered in the room where only mother, the nanny, and the maids were usually seen.

“It’s finally been a month since the baby was born.”

My body moved suddenly which had been gently held in the arms of my mother.

This thick embrace… Yes, it’s probably my father.

Blinking, I focused my vision to look at the person who was holding me. I caught sight of a middle-aged man with a kind smile and well-combed silver hair.

‘He is Optimus III…’

I am finally seeing the face of the Emperor, whom I had only known by name. Come to think of it, I think I heard his voice in my sleep.

“Ajooju, look at Daddy, Baby.”

The arms that gently shake me in his arms suddenly stopped. Ugh, it’s out of focus… Is he smiling at me?

“You’re so beautiful I feel like dying… Well, all babies are cute.”

Did the me in my past life also receive those looks when I was a baby? Even if I had, the direct line of the Imperial family and modern citizens are different.

It was not long before he turned around, and the light of the landscape changed.

“I now officially declare that this baby is part of the Asuramasura family.”

Haha, that name is still awkward to me even if I were to hear it again. There were many who commented saying that he wrote anything that he wanted.

“And the baby’s name…”

Gulp, I swallowed in my mind. The names of the direct Imperial family members of Optimus III flashed through my mind.

‘I don’t think I’m the firstborn, so I’m not the Crown Prince, maybe Roselia who will become the commander of the Holy Knights? It was really cool, but I think the knight’s training would be hard. Or is it Rebecca? I said it’s a salvation, so it would make sense to become one who has a tremendous divine power. Seeing that I’m a princess, I must not be Theodore.’

As I contemplated the family tree of the direct line of the Imperial Family.

“The baby’s name shall be Cecilia.”

‘The Fourth Princess, Cecilia!’

Ah, how did I forget about her?

When I woke up, I focused all my attention and looked at the scenery around me. It was only then that I finally could specifically recognize the surroundings I had only sensed as a mass of light and shadow.

A noblewoman was smiling softly in bed, and boys and girls were staring at me with sparkling eyes.

‘But, the voices I hear every day are different. It’s probably because I am the youngest.’

And on the heads of my father and siblings in this life, hair like silver silk, the symbol of the Imperial family, was fluttering.

‘I must probably have a hair color like that too, right?’

So, I Asura… born as the youngest princess, Cecilia!

“Ouch.”

“Oh my, You’re already laughing.”

“The Princess is smart.”

“It is a great blessing for Asuramasura.”

The indescribable happiness seemed to have created something like laughter in the facial muscles of a two-month-old.

How can I not laugh? I was born with a diamond spoon in my mouth!

The world I was born in is in the ‘The Violets of the Duchess Grow With Tears’, short for ‘Deductible Eye’.

It is the world from my favorite novel that’s like guilty pleasure.

‘Deductible Eye’ is a typical Cinderella story of a candy-type female lead, and it was a sensational work at the time of its serialization.

Why is it a guilty pleasure? Because as much as the novel was popular, it has all kinds of crazy content!

The secret birth, opposition to the preliminary market price were basic, and tea showers and pockets of gold coins were not left out.

Furthermore, perhaps to emphasize the male and female lead’s fateful relationship, there was a lot of adversity in their love story.

‘It was a slow burn. Even though the development was frustrating, it was said that even those who couldn’t stand ‘Deductible Eye’, didn’t read just one episode.

How is being transmigrated into this sweet potato field such a happy thing, enough for the facial muscles of a two-month-old baby to move?

Like I said, I was born with a diamond spoon!

The Empire was peaceful, and the Empire’s couple, my parents, created me at an old age because of their conjugal harmony.

My older brothers who were at least 12 years old, grew up unaware of the closeness of friendship, and I, their distant youngest sister, presented no threat.

Besides, unlike my sisters, I don’t think I held an important role.

‘The youngest Princess who does not have any major obligations and only needs to be loved. Sweet, sweet…’

The most important thing, I don’t think I have any part in the original.

「“Your Highness, the youngest Princess is already attending the meeting for political affairs, right? It is said that she is honored that she’ll likely to take on a major responsibility in the near future.”」

Like this, minor characters were mentioned in vague words.

「“Sir must be really close with Her Highness, the 4th princess. Calling her by a nickname…”]

It was more like appearing as a tool to deepen the love of the two by making the female lead jealous.

It only meant one thing if the fact that my part in this sweet potato field is small as a dog.

‘My life has absolutely nothing to do with the flow of the story!’

And so, there was no dead flag for my life, and the narrative that gave trials to the love of the male and female lead would be someone else’s job.

In the original, only the male and female lead rolled around in the sweet potato field, and neither the Imperial Family nor I had any stake in it.

All I needed to do was live happily as the youngest member of the Imperial Family in this peaceful life.

Giggle, it made me laugh.

I Became The Youngest Princess Of Asuramasura (2)

“Oh my, it seems that Her Highness has a liking for the new mobile.”

“Oou, baa!”

Do I like it or not?

Whatever, it was worth the hard work I had done in my past life, I got to view my favorite novel in a special seat no less!

And so, an extra with a diamond spoon. This is the setting of my life now.

Even the same extras were different from the past.

I remembered again the voice I heard when I reincarnated.

‘I should have been the one who was saved!’

***

Living as the youngest princess Cecilia was really… a series of happy and warm days.

All I have to do is to breathe, lift my head, turn over, and crawl to win praise and affection.

“Have you come to visit Your Highness?”

“Yeah, is Baby awake?”

“What baby, Theo! She has a pretty name, Cecilia.”

“Until now, I have always been the baby. I also wanted to call her Baby.”

“Yeah, our baby Theo.”

“Hey, Sister!”

I was lying in the cradle while training my eyesight and enjoying the colorful mobiles. The chattering voices of the children filled the room.

“Hi, Baby?”

“Cecil, your third older sister and brother are here.”

Two round faces protruded above the cradle. My older brother Theodore and Rebecca who is a year older than him.

The faces above me are 12 years older than me.

“Uuu, kkyaha!”

“Are you happy that we are here?”

Of course, it’s nice!

Really… My father and mother were both beautiful, overcoming adversity, and all of my siblings are also the same.

Whenever beautiful, charming children came into my sight, my laughter burst out without me realizing it.

Here you go, a baby’s laughter service! ha ha ha!

“Ah, all babies are really cute…”

That’s what I wanted to say, Big Brother.

As my vision gradually became clearer, I began to be able to recognize the faces accurately… I concluded that their majestic appearance played a part in the harmonious relationship of the Imperial family.

“Theo, I don’t remember you being cute.”

“Sister is only a year older than me, but you manage to remember so much.”

Theodore shone brightly under his well-combed bangs, and Rebecca gave off a feeling as cozy as her wavy cloud-like hair.

They were only twelve and thirteen, but I had no doubt that they would soon become an enormous beauty and handsome figure.

‘Just looking at Mother and Father, this beauty gene won’t disappear.’

I felt proud of my reasonable speculation.

In fact, in the case of my brother Theodore in the Original Novel, he was proud to be listed as one of the handsome men in high society.

After all, in the future, the male lead Leopold will also grow into a handsome man who will succeed him.

‘Hu-hoo. Then, I’ll look forward to this life too.’

I burst into laughter without realizing it, Theodore and Rebecca who were whining, turned their twinkling eyes at me.

“Ah, so lovely.”

“I don’t think I will ever get bored watching Baby all day long…”

“Theo, Becky! Did you guys wash?”

Suddenly a sharp voice rang out. With her firm tone, it was clearly Roselia, the second older sister.

“Eek.”

Theodore pressed his nose into his collar, sniffling his sweat, and slid back.

“Buu…”

It was only then I noticed the odor that I hadn’t detected while adoring his face.

You are still the most handsome man in your generation…

“Becky, don’t use your Divine Powers for such small tasks like that.”

“You said you were just writing in your room, Sister.”

“Babies are much weaker than us, so you have to be more careful.”

It always occurs to me, but the concept of hygiene has developed quite a bit. Is it because we’re in a Korean Romance-Fantasy?

Theodore and Rebecca followed the maids to the side room.

“Cecil, how have you been? Second sister is here.”

Roselia approached the cradle and embraced me.

‘It’s comfortable…’

Perhaps due to already having two younger siblings, Roselia held me with a familiar touch. The weight of an infant was too easy for someone destined to become the Commander of the Holy Knights in the future.

“Do you get along with your nanny today? Have you eaten a lot too?”

“Au, baa!”

I smiled brightly as much as I enthusiastically wanted to reply.

“Madam, is it fine for Cecil to smile like this all the time? Theo cried a lot.”

“The Fourth Princess is gentle. It seems Her Highness recognizes Your Highnesses.”

“As expected, our Cecil is brilliant.”

Roselia looked proud at the nanny’s answer, smirked, and approached the mirror on the wall.

Roselia had short hair, cut like a knife at the corner of her ear. Right next to her image, my eye was caught by the face of a baby girl, her eyes the size of a big bell and her pale cheeks.

‘It’s Cecil’s face!’

This was my favorite time. The face I can’t see by myself, the face of Cecil…

“Cecil, is there a baby here? Who could it be? Do you think she’s lovely?”

Roselia leaned over and put me in front of the mirror. Without thinking, I reached out and placed my hand on the baby’s face in the mirror.

‘I can’t believe it.’

Beneath the fluffy silver hair, her emerald-colored eyes emanated to the fullest. If you observe closely, you can notice the golden spot in the iris, adding to the mystery.

It was said that one of the characteristics of the Imperial Family was the gold mixed in their eyes along with their silver hair.

“Is this what is supposed to be considered pretty in this world?”

Without this, people wouldn’t love me as much as they do now.

Satisfied with this logic, I grinned. Oh, I’m drooling.

“Oh my, our Cecil laughs a lot.”

Roselia wiped my mouth with her cuff. Whether she came right after washing after her training, the soft indoor dress smelled like fabric softener.

Sniffling, I impatiently shoved my nose in Roselia’s arms.

“Oh my, Cecil must love her sister a lot, is that right?”

Yes, nice!

‘Roselia is the most important person among our siblings!’

Seventeen year old Roselia was showing promise while still a trainee in the Order of the Holy Knights.

Because she has the talent to become the Commander of the Holy Knights.

With the male lead Leopold going to be a paladin, Roselia appeared as his superior in Leopold’s daily episodes, in mission scenes, and in the final battle.

‘When the female lead was kidnapped by the secondary male lead, Leopold was so upset that Roselia gladly gave him a vacation, and she was popular because she is a cool boss.’

Come to think of it, since the original is set about 20 years from now, it is clear that most of the people who will appear in the original exist somewhere in this world.

‘There is a scene where Leopold was my companion when I was young, so he must have been born by now, right? Amelie was older than me, so she must have been born too.’

At that moment, I was struck again at the realization that I was in the world of ‘Deductible Eyes’.

‘I will be able to see everything when I get older. I’m looking forward to it.’

Hehe, I’m drowning in the thoughts that only I know… I’m drooling again.

‘Ah, human dignity.’

Roselia wiped off again my mouth with her other cuff and headed toward the window.

“Cecil, would you like to see what’s outside the window?”

The window has a wide view of the main palace’s back garden, and it was my favorite place. However, I couldn’t leave the nursery room until after my first birthday.

In the late afternoon when the siblings came, the scene of the warm sunlight peeping in and coloring the drowsy afternoon was beautiful.

“Becky, come get Cecil. I will open the window.”

Roselia handed me to the approaching Rebecca and opened the window with her long arms. Mm, the smell of Autumn.

“Sister, did you win the match today? You said you were going to fight with the trainees who will become official knights by next year.”

“It was neck-and-neck, but I unfortunately lost. They are knights who will protect the Imperial Family in the future, so they shouldn’t lose to me.”

Oh, as expected, talent comes with the desire to win.

After their work, coming to my room to see me and talk about their day’s events had become my siblings’ daily routine.

Unlike my nursery attached to my mother’s room in the palace, my brothers and sisters lived at the Frisier Palace for the Emperor’s children.

After all, one must not go anywhere in a setting where friendship is strong.

‘They’re pretty, so there’s nothing wrong between them.’

Even more so whenever I recall the relationship I had with my siblings in my past life that was so shallow.

‘My younger siblings pretended to be close to me so that I would at least give them pocket money…’

At times I felt bitter at the dark memories of my past life.

Whoosh, the cold wind of early Autumn blew into the room through the open window. Brrr, my body shivered.

“Oh, are you cold, Cecil?”

“Bah.”

I wanted to say it was okay, but my mouth just drooled. When will this tongue of mine be able to move freely?

‘But it seems I already know the language. If only my articulatory organ developed further, it would be clear and flowing.

It was around that time I began dreaming of becoming eloquent.

I felt something warm around Rebecca’s hand on my back.

“Isn’t it warm?”

Heee, I looked up at Rebecca without even thinking of shutting my mouth.

Oh, I’m drooling again.

“That’s right, Becky. If you want to use your Divine Power, I’d rather you use it for Cecil.”

“You know that this isn’t too much for me.”

Ah, so this is the Divine Power.

‘In fact, Rebecca used to come and go a lot in the summer to cool me down.’

Rebecca was born with great Divine Power and expected to become a potential pope candidate in the Original Novel 20 years later.

She was still young enough to become a trainee, but she seemed to have learned how to purify the body or control the body temperature by herself.

Come to think of it, it was said that the Divine Power is innate to everyone in this world.

‘Then heat won’t be a problem for me later on? In my past life, I couldn’t even turn on the air conditioner because I was worried about my electricity bill…!’

I smiled again as I envisioned my rosy future that would be comfortable in summer without Rebecca’s help.

‘Good job Reincarnation, really!’

***

“Her Highness the Fourth Princess must also have a strong Divine Power, right?”

“The Imperial Family is blessed and prosperous because God has sent more angels to protect the Empire.”

“Your Majesty’s reign is very strong.”

The interest in my Divine Power is bound to grow day by day.

It was all thanks to the nanny and maids defensively gossiping in front of me, thinking that I wouldn’t understand.

‘The Divine Power played an important role in the Original novel.’

People called this era the ‘Holy Age’. This is because everyone, great or not, is born with Divine Power.

Hundred of years before, the ancient civilizations of the continent suddenly collapsed under the invasion of demons, and only those with Divine Power were able to survive.

And 500 years ago, the First Emperor chosen by God defeated the army of demons with a mighty Divine Power and thereafter established the country.

‘And so that was how Asuramasura was built… Anyway this Empire. No matter how heroic he is, his naming sense is messed up.’

For this reason, the outstanding Divine Power manifested in the immediate Imperial family was a symbol and legitimacy of the sovereign Imperial authority.

Even among the masses, Divinity was important.

The higher the status, the greater the innate Divine Power, and the higher the Divine Power, the greater the possibility of becoming a paladin after entering the denomination.

With this kind of tradition, it was not unreasonable to say that the youngest angel had already visited and rejoiced over me.

‘Hehe, my appearance is that of an angel too.’

That was when I hit my first birthday.

“Your Highness, today is a very important day.”

“Oou (Important)?”
