Chapter 2 (Edited)

On the day that I was born, I immediately got consciousness and became aware. I still couldn't see my surroundings. But I can still hear my surroundings as a newborn.

As a newborn I subconsciously cry. Near me, I could also hear a cry of a child "Aren't they cute?" a woman with gentle and beautiful voice said. I felt a hand gently caressing my cheek softly.

"Yes but, this one is a girl..." It is another voice from an old lady.

"My husband shouldn't know about this or else he will kill this child...You know how much he doesn't want a daughter" I could feel my cheeks being gently caressed repeatedly.

"Okay miss, What should we name them?" The old lady asked, it seems like she's asking the lady with gentle and beautiful voice.

"Well...My husband expected a son and he said that he wanted to name it Claudius"

Claudius? I think I heard that name somewhere...

"While this little one will be Oliver" I can feel the gentle hand patting my head.

Claudius...Oliver...I think I heard those names before! Could it be-

"You will be Claudius Ashford and you will be Oliver Ashford".

Wait wait wait, just as I thought! I got reborn into the novel I finished reading before I died! And it seems like I got reborn as Oliver Ashford?

Isn't Oliver Ashford the twin brother of Claudius? How come am I a girl?

I analyzed the situation. From what I learned earlier and from what I read before. Arthur Ashford, Claudius' father is a mysogynistic person who looked down on women, even his own wife.

Claudius, as his favourite son, he also thought him about his views on things that also became the reason why Claudius turned into a scum.

Is Oliver Ashford a girl pretending to be a boy? The story in the novel I read started when they were 10 years old so there are some scenes where there are some interaction between the two.

Claudius didn't know that his brother is actually a girl. In Claudius eyes, his brother Oliver is a weak and pathetic loser who don't deserve anything. He looks down on Oliver so much that it makes him sick just being with Oliver.

I think Claudius treats Oliver the way it is because his father favoured him so much and his father also looks down on Oliver. He labled her as "useless and unworthy son".

Many years passed and they also become teens. When they are in the academy, the teachers usually praises Oliver for her high grades, but, it made Claudius burned in jealousy and anger towards his "brother" even more. Claudius is also smart but, he couldn't defeat Oliver when it comes to studying, he's always the second.

In terms of physical strength, Claudius is a lot stronger in swordsmanship than his "brother", Oliver. He also bullied Oliver most of the times but Oliver wouldn't fight back which annoyed Claudius even more.

Then by the time they reached 16 years old, Claudius turned nuts for some reason and decided to kill his father, Oliver, and even his own mother. He did all that just to be the master of the Ashford Estate. Nobody knows that he killed his own family and planted a fake robbery to avert the attention of the people.

Almost everyone thought that Claudius is a very pitiful child who lost his family at a very young age. What they didn't know was that he caused it himself. Claudius' became more and more ambitious to the point that he wanted to rule the Kingdom.

Claudius gathered all the powerful girls he knows in terms of whether political, magical capabilities, and strength using his charm. He made them believed that he loved them and made them all his wife or part of his harem. I feel pitiful for those girls who thought that Claudius was the light who saved them from the abyss while the truth is, he was just manipulating them all.

This novel is still ongoing but i finished it until the latest chapter. I hoped that there might be a character development with this guy or there will be someone who could stop him from his madness.

Thinking about my future, I felt kinda angry to the gods who sent me here. They gave me a second chance to live but for what? To die again?!

I wanted to sigh but as a newborn child, I still couldn't really control myself. I kept on crying and crying.

I tried to think and process everything until it's been two weeks since I was born. I can already see slightly. It's still a bit blurry unless I'm near things that I'm looking at.

Looking at the ceiling with my blurry vision. Can I escape my death? Now that I remember, God told me that he'll give me a blessing, What blessing could it be? While still looking up the ceiling, I slowly felt sleepy and closed my eyes.

I was floating in the darkness, I tried to float around to find an exit or light. When I can finally see a small golden light. I tried to approach it. When I was about to touch it, I had a feeling that someone just carried me which made me wake up and subconsciously cry.

"Hmph! Stinky noisy brat! Take this kid and make him shut up!" I slightly opened my eyes and looked, I could see the face of a guy for a bit. I felt that I was transferred into someones hug.

"I told you that they're still sleeping and you shouldn't have woken them up in the first place" The beautiful woman with red hair said as she kept on trying to calm me down.

"Heh! That child is such a cry baby" The man sneered.

"Well, It's normal for newborn babies like Oliver to cry..." The woman said as she kept on comforting me.

The guy sneered and i heard the door shut loudly. As a baby who was shocked and scared by the sound, I cried loudly.

"Mother's here Oliver" The woman kept on comforting me and I felt a soft kiss landed on my forehead. I heard a soft melody that the beautiful lady with red hair sang. So this is my new mother?...She reminds me of my mother on earth. Her singing voice is very calming that it made me feel sleepy once again.
