Chapter 1: Who am I?

The memories when I was a newborn are vague, I remember waking up in a baby's body and not being able to speak real words. At first, I thought it was a bad dream, but after a week I realized that this was not a dream. It took a while because I didn't want to admit that this was indeed the reality. I had almost no control over my body, and this experience was basically of learning how to get used to the small figure and learn what I could of my new life. After a year everything made sense, of course, I pretended to be a normal child and only now "learned" how to walk. Also, I didn't want to pushover this body that was still developing, around this time my skull should be growing together. How do I know this? I was a doctor in my previous life, and if you wondered what kind of doctor I was a pediatrician so I had an adult mind in a baby's body. This could only mean one thing, I was reincarnated and for some reason, I kept my most of memories if I could say that.

I don't remember much details about my past life but for some strange reason, I could remember every academical aspect of it. I remember every research paper that I've read but I could not remember my name or where I was from. Another thing useful that I could remember is recipes, I think that in my previous must have been my hobby, especially cooking pastries.

About my current life there only a few things I know. Those are the following: my name is Aya, I was the daughter of the current King of Gwitu since the maids refer to me as " princess" and to my mother queen. I have only seen my father twice, so he must regard me as useless due to the reason that I'm a female, like in medieval times. This world possesses magic and it resembles the historic part of a European city. There were somewhat similar technology and development but the architectonic style was similar to the gothic Manueline style. At least is what it resembled from my memories. The amount of technology would be similar to 1900s in Europe, that includes transportation, something similar to electricity, communication via a device, etc.

My mother only visited from time to time, due that she as a queen couldn't raise her own child. This is one of the first reasons I began to hate royalty. When mother visits me she would sing lullabies, and tell me how much she loved me. I wish I could spend more time with her, she seemed like a loving mother.

I was raised by the maids of the castle, instead. They weren't exactly warm and loving as my mother, but they didn't treat me badly either, it just seemed that there was an ice barrier between them and me. I could sense the discomfort of bearing the responsibility to raise me. This was probably caused by the fact that I was the princess and they were low ranked nobles.

While I was growing up, they started to open a bit more to me since I tried to make them my friends, instead of attendants. They started to tell me more about life inside and outside the castle, which included all sorts of stories and gossip. This was actually quite fun and I really enjoy it.

I also had a brother, he was 4 years old at the time I was born and he liked to visit me every day. Although most of the times it would be 4 times a week if he was allowed. He would practice his ability to read while reading children tales to me, sometimes he would tell me about his day and occasionally he would give me classes about what he learned. Since he was so loving and caring I always smiled happily at him, he was my sunshine in this nightmare. Thanks to him coming so many times I learned how to read without anyone teach me beforehand, this in the future would make things easier I thought.

By the time, I was 8 years old nothing much happened, I kept a low profile about my knowledge to not raise suspicions. I started to sneak out of the palace and went to the castle town. In here, I would disguise myself with more humble clothes and interact with the people. I was known in the streets as the daughter of a poor baron. Sometimes I also liked to be alone in the outskirts of the forest outside the palace, and on one of those days, I noticed that my amount of "Sihir" or magic was higher than average. For some reason, this also meant that I was the only one that could use healing magic, which was why I had I kept it to myself.

Now I am 12, and it in here is when my life really began.
