"What do you think that the King did, Your Majesty,?" I asked as staring at him coldly. 'Please... Fa---Your Highness.'

That made everyone fall silent.

Flashback

7 years ago—

"I want that child DEAD.." A man with a cold voice said. That made me slightly felt a chill through my spine. 'Who is going to die?'

"No please! I beg of you she is our child!" a soft woman's voice pleaded. 'She? Are they just going to kill their own child!! I don't like this! He's a MONSTER!? What is happening here? I can't see a thing.

I just remembered going on a camp fieldtrip, we were happy that moment. I was chatting and joking with my bestfriends when suddenly the bus is out of control and fall from the edge of a mountain highway..'

I suddenly opened my eyes. 'I died in that moment!.. But how come I felt so alive?' I began looking at my surroundings hoping to see what's going on.

'...Where am I?' And looked at my hands which I find it.... small? Open and closing them. 'These are a baby's hand!.. So? I just turned into a baby? No! how can that be possible?---Wait it's reincarnation!'

'Wait? Then where did I got reincarnated?'

I looked at the ceiling above me 'A ceiling?' while contemplating the design and structure.

**Scanning the ceiling above**

**Analyzing the scanned copy**

**Processing the design and structure**

**98%>>99%>>Scanning Complete**

'Wait! This is not just an ordinary ceiling it's extravagant! Like royalty'

I looked at the two persons standing near at the second window. 'They must be arguing in something?'

Reminded by earlier..

"I want that child DEAD.." A man with a cold voice said.

"No please! I beg of you she is our child!" a soft woman's voice pleaded.

That made me shocked. 'They are the people whom I've heard earlier!... Don't tell me... I'm the child that they are talking about?'

Until the man and I locked eyes that made me even more shocked. 'How many times do I have to be shocked? I felt I'm going to die again.' Feeling that my soul is now trying to separate with my body.

I grabbed my soul back to my body. 'No! You can't leave yet! This baby is too young to die!'

"I don't have a monster as a daughter." The man disgustingly replied and slapped the woman. That made my eyes wide in terror and felt my soul left from my body.

"Arrgghhh!!" the woman shouted and fell on the floor. 'You bastard!! How dare you hurt your wife! That is now my mother!' I angrily gripped the bed while trying to sit but because of being a baby, I lose strength.

"Your Highness!" a lady with a maid outfit gasped and rushed towards the woman-- who is now my mother. And saw blood coming out from her thigh.

Which made me horrified.. 'What is happening? Hang in there Mother!'

"Your Majesty! Please, this humble servant begged that ahis Majesty must refrain from hitting her Highness. She just gave birth 3 days ago and needs rest." The lady maid begged with her knees to the cold man in front not caring on the punishment that will overcome to her.

'What does she mean?' I still watch in horror. Worrying for my Mother's life.

"How dare a mere maid... Order the Emperor." he coldly stares at the maid. While the maid is shaking heavily.. 'Emperor?' I scanned his face and somewhat familiar from someone.

'Wait, he looks like the Emperor in my favorite story "Princess and the Men" an R-19 novel that is full of romance and struggles, but still more on romance. But, the Emperor of that Novel the Female lead's father--Emperor Josefaño Salamanca III--- known as being cold-blooded and brutal has a soft affection to the Female lead and will do everything for her. Even killing a family member.

"No! Please stop! Dear!" mother begged on her knees while holding the scary man trying to stop him from hurting the maid.

I looked at her intensively 'It means this woman is Empress Cayenna Mercado known for being kind-hearted and dignified-- who the Emperor favors the most even giving birth from a cursed daughter.... Wait... Cursed... Daughter..?'

I sudden chilly breeze bumped in my whole body. Knowing the situation 'I'm that cursed child.'

"By the end of the day I want that child dead." He coldly ordered. The woman gasped and made me blank.

'What? He want to kill me? So, I'm really her-- Amaya Mercado Salamanca known as the cursed child because of having a black hair that's dark as night and eyes as brown as her mother. Who suddenly got executed from the moment she was born'

Because of his dead words.. my world begun to shatter just like a broken glass. And remembering my last Life..

'Isn't family supposed to love and care for each other? They supposed to be happy, right?... Then, why is this happening to me?'

I kept thinking to myself and all the traumatic experience begun to reveal one by one. I'm actually from a wealthy family in my past life, so I experienced terrible things from bad guys once.

I was walking my way home from school that night and got home late because of the preparation for the upcoming School Festival. When suddenly, a black van stopped in front of me and forced me to climbed inside because of resisting they put me to sleep.

Then found myself being locked at a darkest room while being tortured and raped....calling to my parents forcing on giving them a large sum of money exchange for my...life...

My life....

Then an image of that masked man begun to appear in front of me. Slowly raising his hand slowly approaching me. His eyes shows pleasure and it disgust me. I was so terrified from those experienced and I don't wanna go back in those moments.

'I'm scared....' while looking at the image in front of me. 'No! I don't want to return from those nightmares!'

'...I want to live peacefully!'

'Please! Help me! Someone I'm scared!' I pleaded while looking for everyone in the room. 'Please!' As the man's hand going near me. I tried putting a strength to my body but it's no use.

'Please! Help! Somebody!' Shutting my eyes feeling the man's shadow coming near.

"UWAAAHHHHH!" a sudden cry echoed inside the room.

I jolted and woke up from my senses. And turned my head from my right. 'A baby?... I'm saved?'

I felt relieved from what the baby boy did and thanking him many times in my mind.

Everyone fall silent and turned their heads to the crib where I'm in. The woman hurriedly stand up and approached my crib.

"Albert? Come here, my little one. Mother is here." The woman gently grabbed the baby and sweetly cooing him to stop from crying. "Are you scared? Don't worry Mother is here."

The man approached and pat the baby that the woman is holding. "What a crybaby." He replied adored. Which made the tension of the atmosphere changed.

While the woman is busy taking care of the baby.

Suddenly, the man's eyes met mine. Which made me jolted terrifyingly and shocked. We silently stared with each other until he slowly approached his hands to me. 'Is he going to kill me now?'

'No! Please! Go away!' Trying to back off from him even it's still no use.

'Mama! Help!' As I looked at Mother who is holding my twin brother.

I closed my eyes until seconds passed but I still felt nothing. So, I slowly open my eyes and saw his hands froze and eyes knitted in question then immediately withdrawn from approaching me. But still both of our eyes are locked.

"....I've decided...." he mumbled

'What did he say? Decide what?'

"...I will postpone the execution." He ordered in an assuring serious tone that made the maid and the woman felt relieved.

"But we need to keep her isolated at the cold palace if you want her to live." he added then left the room.

'Am I really safe?'
