Chapter 2:Wisdom Queen

Three months had passed since Regina Draconia's rebirth. Life had settled into a routine, but Regina's internal struggle continued. Despite the warm and loving care from her father, Ethan, she remained guarded, her past life's wounds still raw and fresh.

One evening, as Ethan prepared for his shift at the healing center, Regina was nestled in a blanket on the couch, her small eyes watching him with a mix of curiosity and skepticism. Her tiny hands grasped a small toy, but her mind was elsewhere.

Why is he always so kind? Regina pondered, her thoughts darkened by memories of her previous life. Will he ever betray me?

Ethan approached her, his face softened with a smile. "Regina, sweetheart, are you comfortable? I'm just going to the healing center now. Remember, I'm always here for you."

Regina responded with a coo, her baby voice betraying nothing of her inner turmoil. I have to act like a baby. He mustn't suspect anything.

As Ethan left, Regina's mind shifted to the presence that had been with her since her rebirth. The robotic voice, now a calming yet distant companion, resonated in her consciousness.

Regina's thoughts reached out, trying to connect with the system. Seraphina, are you there?

A soft, synthetic voice filled her mind, its tone reassuring. "Regina, I am here. I am Wisdom Queen Seraphina, your guide and support. Our communication is telepathic for now. I will assist you in understanding your abilities and how to navigate your new life."

Regina's curiosity piqued. What can you do for me?

"Firstly," Seraphina continued, "you possess a range of skills from your previous life. You have acquired Light Magic, Lightning Magic, Void Magic, and a boost in physical strength. Additionally, your rapid learning ability will help you adapt quickly."

How do I use these abilities? Regina inquired, her thoughts tinged with caution.

"Your powers will awaken as you grow and learn," Seraphina explained. "For now, focus on controlling your emotions and building trust. Your abilities will manifest gradually, starting with small, manageable tasks."

Regina processed this information, her tiny face scrunching in thought. It's hard to trust anyone after everything I've been through. How can I protect myself?

The next day, Ethan took Regina to the healing center again. The soft light filtering through the windows illuminated the rows of beds where patients rested. Ethan was busy tending to a patient's wounds, his hands skillfully applying ointments and bandages.

Regina was placed in a small, cozy corner of the room with her toys. As she played, she watched her father's every movement with a keen, if cautious, eye.

The staff, accustomed to Regina's presence, often stopped by to coo and smile at her. "Hello, Regina!" Eliza, the restaurant owner, said cheerfully. "You look so adorable today!"

Regina merely stared at her, a blank expression on her face. Will they turn against me like everyone else? she wondered.

Eliza's smile faltered slightly but she shrugged it off. "Well, you're always welcome here, little one."

Later that night , as Ethan finished reading a story about a valiant knight, he kissed Regina's forehead and murmured, "You're growing up so fast, Regina. I hope you know how much I love you."

Regina's eyes filled with tears again, but she quickly turned her face away, afraid to show any sign of weakness. He says he loves me, but can I really trust him?

In her mind, Seraphina's voice continued to offer support. "Regina, trust is a gradual process. It is important to allow yourself to experience love without fear."

I'll try, Regina thought, though her resolve remained firm. But I won't let my guard down completely.

Two months had passed since Regina's last reflection. Now five months old, Regina had settled into a routine of babyhood while grappling with her internal struggles and the emotional weight of her past life. Her father's love remained steadfast, and the healing center had become a familiar place, but trust was still elusive.

One morning, Ethan was preparing for another day at the healing center. As he gently lifted Regina from her crib, he cooed, "Good morning, my little star. Today's a special day. We're going to spend some time at the center and then have a little treat afterward."

Regina gazed up at him with wary eyes, the recent interactions with the healing center and its staff providing no reassurance. Why is he always so nice? What does he expect from me? she wondered.

As Ethan dressed her in a soft, pink outfit, Regina's mind connected with the familiar presence of Seraphina.

Seraphina, are you there? Regina's thoughts reached out, tinged with a hint of urgency.

"Yes, Regina," Seraphina's soothing voice responded. "What can I assist you with today?"

I've been thinking about training. How can I begin to control my mana and use my abilities?

"Training is indeed crucial," Seraphina explained. "Today, we will start with basic mana control exercises through meditation. It will help you harness your power and strengthen your connection to your abilities."

Regina's tiny hands fidgeted, her thoughts focused. How do I meditate as a baby?

"Meditation for you will involve simple breathing techniques and visualizations," Seraphina elaborated. "You will focus on calming your mind and sensing the flow of mana within you. Though you are young, these exercises will lay the foundation for more advanced control later."

Ethan carried Regina to the healing center, and she was placed in her usual corner with her toys. As he worked, he periodically glanced over, his eyes filled with affection. "You're such a good girl, Regina. I hope you're enjoying your time here."

Regina's eyes followed him warily, her thoughts guarded. I don't know if I can trust this. It feels too good to be true.

Throughout the day, Seraphina's guidance continued. "Regina, focus on your breathing. Close your eyes, even if it's just for a moment. Feel the warmth of your mana and let it flow naturally."

Regina, despite her age, closed her eyes and tried to follow the instructions. She felt a faint, soothing warmth within her, a hint of the power she could wield. Her small body relaxed slightly as she concentrated, though her skepticism remained.

Later that evening, Ethan returned home with a small treat for Regina a soft toy in the shape of a dragon. "Look what I got for you!" he said with a bright smile. "I thought it might be fun to play with."

Regina's gaze fell on the toy, her curiosity piqued but her distrust still present. She reached out tentatively, her fingers brushing the soft fabric.

"See? It's just for you," Ethan said gently. "I hope it makes you smile."

Regina's thoughts were tangled. Why is he so insistent on making me happy? Is it genuine, or is he trying to manipulate me?

That night, as Ethan rocked her to sleep, he whispered, "I love you more than anything, Regina. You mean the world to me."

Regina's heart ached with conflicting emotions. He says he loves me, but can I ever truly believe it?
