Just like any other day, my problems kicked in early. I can hear my landlord banging on my door, making my window glass shake vigorously. I grabbed the pillow and put it on my head, covering the ears.

" Get out here bitch! Or I'll break this door!" I pulled the sheet up and laid there like a dead body.

Like I have any money to pay you dipshit!

It didn't take long for him to leave. Finally some peace of mind! I couldn't have a good sleep after all those customers. It's funny how I'm living my life like this. Sometimes I wished that I was dead since my life never got any better.

If only my mom was not dead when I was nine years old.

If only my father supported me to finish my education and get a respect job.

If only he didn't tried to abuse me again again until I was broke down and shattered into piece.

My life would have been great.

When mom was alive things were still good. I was happy that she was with me. Dad was never good to begin with. He used to come home late after drinking.

After mom died, dad would only drink a lot. Sometimes he would beat me up to loose his frustration. It was still bearable. I tried to finish my studies and get out from there as soon as possible. But soon after some times, my own father tried to molest me.

That day I somehow managed to get away from him and left home. As a sixteen year old teenager, life was hard enough for me. I don't know what to do, where to go. I had no relatives, no friends to relay on.

I spent two days on road, I slept in some alley and that's how I met Nancy. That day she came to me like an angel. Yes, she was definitely not the best but what she did for me, I will always remember.

Nancy worked in a brothel as a **********. She took me to home and gave me food. I was hungry since I couldn't eat properly. She was twenty three years old that time. I was moved how kind she was despite of her occupation.

I lived with Nancy for a month. I tried working somewhere as a part timer but that was futile.

I asked Nancy why she decided to work in this field and I still remember her reply very well.

" How did you end up here?" I tried to ask her politely.

" I had a boyfriend, he told me to runaway with him. Later that bastard sold me here into the brothel. I was literally so torn apart that he betrayed me. Later I accepted my fate and continued to work." Her words were screaming with pain. I can feel it in my veins.

" You never thought of quitting this job?" I was eagerly waiting for her reply.

" Honestly after you do it for one time, you'll get used to it. You need money to live so, at the end of the day it doesn't matter how you earned it." Hearing her made me realise that I have no other option. After some time I'll have to live by myself.

" How about I work here?" Nancy didn't looked happy or sad. She probably had faced this situation.

" Listen Lizzy, I'm no one to tell you what to do or not. It's your decision. But once you get in here, you can never leave. You're not the first one who asked me this. I had picked up girls like you before. They had no where else to go. After seeing me they started doing this job."

I was well aware of my current situation and I trusted Nancy. She was the only one who helped me in my life and showed my kindness

So, I went with Nancy to work in a brothel house.

Nancy said no word or stopped me from choosing this job. She knew my situation and it was my decision. She never agreed or disagree to it. When I entered there, Nancy helped me to get into those things.

My first time was really painful. I became seventeen few weeks before that day. It's hard to express how bad I felt that day but later I got used to it. I got my own place and started to live there. I made two friends there and I also had Nancy.

Sometimes I forget to pay my rent since I have a bad habit of wasting money on useless things. My life has been like this for five years. I'm twenty one year old currently. I couldn't finish my education I mean people will find out about me being a **********. That will cause lots of problems. I focused on earning money and tried to get richass loaded customers.

If they are happy, they will make me happy also. I mostly sleep in the mornings since I had to work at night. My body gets tried after all the sexual activity. In the mean time I have to take care of my body too.

Like other days I finished my work early. It was 3.00 A.M. I went to get my car and suddenly someone grabbed me from behind.

" Give all your money! Now!" The person gripped my mouth tightly it was hard for me to breath. He was shaking me and the bag fell down from my shoulder.

I was in great panic. I had no idea what to do or not. My voice wasn't coming out from my lungs. It was suffocating.

The guy cut my stomach open with a sharp knife and I was left to bleed. My cold body dropped on the ground making a thud. I couldn't keep my eyes open. I moved my hand on the wound which was still bleeding. The pain was unbearable. Blood was overflowing from the wounded stomach. I was waiting for my death.

Maybe I can meet mom now. It's been so long. I was never happy. Maybe now that I'm dying I can be happy at last.

It's so bright in here, so bright that I can't see anything clearly.

Is this heaven?

" Her Majesty!" What is this noise? Who's speaking?

I can't see anyone here. All I can hear is a unclear voice of a female.

" Her Majesty!" Again I can hear it but still no one at the sight. Every thing is just bright and empty.

My eyes were slowly opened. Finally no more blank spaces. It was a room— and very extravagantly elegant. As if it's a royal palace! I noticed that I was laid on the bed. My eyes fell upon my body and I was wearing a gown. Everything seemed to be confusing to me.

" Her Majesty!" Finally my gaze went to the lady who was calling out to me but why is she call me ' Her Majesty'?

" Are you okay Your Highness?" The lady was dressed in a old fashion maid clothes. She looked at me with worried eyes. I was lost completely.

Seriously can anyone come and tell me what the hell is going on?!

" Yes I'm fine. Uh.... Which year is this?" I bluntly asked her since I am seeing all this old architecture and decorations.

" Your Highness it's 1689"

What? Are you kidding me? I came back in time ? This is ridiculous! I can't believe this. I thought I died and I was supposed to be at heaven. I took a deep breath and got up from my bed.

" Your Highness please don't get up. You still haven't recovered." Without listening to her I went to the mirror near by. When I looked into the mirror I was stunned by the person I was looking at.

My appearance had been changed completely. My skin was so glamorous and fair. Golden colour hair was reaching up to my back. My blue eyes were beaming with the sunlight.

I can't believe that this is me. Last time when I checked I had my hair coloured in red. I had some ear piercings. Yeah I looked like a complete wreck to be honest.

I can feel a pair of eyes staring sharply at me. I turned back to the lady who stood still at her place. She was looking very worried.

" Your Majesty are you feeling well?" By the way she's showing her sincerity it felt real. I was not aware of the things or the owner of the body.

Suddenly my head started to spinning off. I grabbed my head with a hand and tried to stand still. Visions were flashed on my head. They were the memories of the owner of the body. I saw all the terrible things that happened with her.

How she was accused by others.

How she was wronged by her trusted people. How her husband abandoned her.

How she was separated from her child.

Seeing all this made my eyes flow with water. Such cruel things, she tolerated all by herself. Even at the end she was pushed into the lake to drown painfully.

They all plotted against her. She was a naive girl with a heart of gold. A kind soul like my mother was, like Nancy was. She did not deserved all this. But time has changed. She may died after drowning. Their plan was successful. Sadly I came to took her place and I will punish each and everyone of them. No one will be left.

All my life I had nothing but sadness and sorrow. Now I will change my fate. I was reborn to full fill my destiny. I will not show any mercy to those who have tried to hurt this kind soul.

I will become the evil queen and I will make them suffer.

The owner of the body is Lucinda, the present queen— married to the king. Her life was not so tragic from the beginning. Her mother died when she was born. Even after that her father never hated or mistreated her.

She was the apple of his eyes. After the loss of her dear mother, Lucinda's father raised her on his own. He was the king of the nation still kept himself away from second marriage.

It is hard for the royals to have only one child as their successor.

The chances of them being killed by other nations or in war is high. In his case, it was a girl which is even more worse. Women can not inherit their father's status. It will be given to their husbands.

Still, the king never remarried again or had any illegitimate children. Lucinda grew up to be a fine lady. She had many talents and every thing she did, turned out to be graceful and elegant.

Everything was going well but then the war broke out. It was when Lucinda turned sixteen. The east nation attacked them which was one of the strongest empire that time. It was even more terrifying because the crown prince was leading the army.

The war was creating problems for both nations. Innocent people were dying in the war. Families were being affected greatly. The cost can not be paid with money.

So Lucinda's father, King Arthur the third, asked for a treaty. When the crown prince, Timothy came to the palace, he saw Lucinda and immediately fell captivated by her charms.

He told the king to let him marry her daughter as a treaty. The king was worried but there was no other option. He asked Lucinda for her approval. Lucinda loves her father very much so, she agreed to the marriage to avoid more deaths of people.

After being married to the crown prince Lucinda and Timothy became close. Things were going good. They started to love each other. Soon after some time Lucinda got pregnant with Timothy's child.

Within that time, the crown prince's father— the emperor died. After the death of the emperor, Timothy became the new emperor. He was given so many responsibilities at this time.

Responsibility of being a father, responsibility of being the nation's king.

He was in so much pressure but still he managed everything with righteous will.

At the time he was happy with his wife and new born son. A happy family yet to be torn apart.

Since the emperor was dead, other nations were trying to start war. To prevent this, the counsellors suggested that he should make the princesses of other nations as his concubine. That way he can form alliances with all those nations.

The emperor disagreed to this. He never wanted to have other women except Lucinda. But as a queen of the nation, it was Lucinda's job to do the best. She pleaded him and finally Timothy agreed.

Fifteen princess from various nations came to become the concubine. The queen wanted to welcome them free heartedly sadly things started to get bad from that day.

All the girls saw that king only loves Lucinda and he never bothered to look at other women. It made them jealous so, they decided to break them apart. Some tried to seduce the king so, that they will get pregnant with his child.

Soon after Timothy and Lucinda began to have misunderstandings between them. Lucinda tried her best to ignore every negativity to keep her relationship. It became only worse. Within one year Timothy stopped talking with Lucinda. They started to live separately.

At this point Lucinda was happy with her son, Alexander. Little Alex was the only thing that helped them to stay together. The love between them was not dead. The concubines noticed it and that made them furious.

Now they wanted to separate Alex from his mother. After doing many planning and plotting they succeeded. Lucinda was not allowed to visit her one and only son without the king's permission. It broke her heart and crushed her will of fire.

Being all in this horrible condition she never told her father or informed him about this situation. She tolerated everything silently because she knew that if her father got a word about her condition he will be furious.

The princesses were successful of what they originally wanted. Now they tried to get into the bed with the king and have his child. Although that was nearly impossible. Like this five years were past. The little boy was now six years old. He will be the next king if this goes on.

The concubines made a decision that they will kill Alex. When they ladies were discussing about it Lucinda was near by. She heard all their conversation and she knew that her child is in danger. She decided that she will leave immediately with Alex and go to his father.

But destiny had something else planned for her. She was running like a wild animal that she sprained her ankle and fell into the lake. It was deep and she never learned how to swim. On the top of that she was wearing a heavy gown. As she was screaming for help the concubines came to the spot. They looked at her and laughed as they have got victory.

It was an outrageous scene to witness. A life that wants to live for someone else. Such traumatic moment can make anyone pitiful if they have any heart unlike these bitches.

The last fragments of her soul flashed upon my mind and she told me one thing

" Please protect my son."

It was all clear to me. I knew about my actions that I will be taking. Lucinda's soul was replaced with mine as we were both going to die. I came back into the time to change her life and my only objective is to take care of Alex.

I promised to myself and to the dead soul of Lucinda that I will protect Alexander with all my strength.

Thankfully I regained all the memories of Lucinda. I know everything from head to toe. So it will not become a problem for me to act as her.

My maid Anna, is still looking confused and worried as I am acting like this. Anna is very loyal to Lucinda. She always been here for her and helped her.

Now that I have a clear view of everything, I needed to know who saved me from water.

" Anna who picked me up from the lake?"

" It was your highness. He was passing by and heard your screaming."

Oh? Looks like my not-so-dear husband saved me. Any way I have no interest in this prick. My job is to look after Alex. So I will pretend to love him to get back my position. I was with many guys and with my experience it will not be hard to gain his attention.

I heard someone's footsteps approaching at us. The person coming inside my room was my husband. It's kinda awkward how I'm suddenly married and have a six year old son. But I have to focus on my performance. I bowed down my head to greeted the prick. Anna was also bowing down since it's a common thing for everyone when they show their respect to the king. Even the wife is to be bowed down.

Being a women in old time is way harder I tell you.

" How are you feeling now?" His tone sounded not so rude, not so worrisome. It was more like an annoyed expression. I lifted my head to answer his question.

Oh nothing much, just fell into the lake almost got drowned, my lungs are filled with stinky water which is totally okay.

If only I could say that to him.

" I'm fine your majesty. It was my fault for being clumsy. I will be careful from the next time."

I wandered my eyes all around the prick standing opposite of me. At first glance, he is a very handsome guy with a sturdy figure. Light brown hair and gold like eyes. In fact he would put models in shame. I quickly diverted my graze from him since it will be rude to stare at a guy and drool over him.

Wait a minute— that's my husband right there so technically I can drool over him. I have rights to drool over him.

There was a long pause between us. He was probably wanting to avoid talking with me. Looks like the situation is worser than I expected. I quickly remembered that I need to meet Alex. His life is in danger but I can not tell him about the intentions of those sluts.

He will not believe me besides I have no evidence or witness to support my statement. So, I should use my condition as a medium to keep Alex with me.

" Your highness, can you please let me see my son. After almost getting devoured by the water I thought that I will never see anyone. I am so thankful that you saved my life. My life now belongs to you— if someday comes where I have to sacrifice myself for you, I shall do it with honour." Holy cow! I can't believe what I just said. I hope it is not too cliché for him. Like, I mean I wanted to kiss his boots but I think I ended up licking it.

The expression on his face changed swiftly, it looked less rigid.

" Fine. You may see Alex." With that he left the room. If you weren't such a dickhead I would have probably kissed you and not your boots.

Finally I can act normal again. I got dressed up and went to see my son. I never thought that I can be a mother someday. When I started working as a prostitute, I was still unsure.

Most of the girls there had operations so, they will never get pregnant. I was young that time, only seventeen. I wanted to have kids but who will except me? After being used by so many men.

It was hard but I decided not to do the operation. I was thinking about quitting the job after I turn twenty five. I would have asked some good looking customer to become my child's father.

Still even after all this I can never get the love which I wanted. I had saved up my love but looks like I will give it to my child. That's what I had planned. All those men had my body but not my heart.

~ to be continued

I don't know if I should be thankful or worried about my situation. I'm glad that I am not dead yet although I'm stuck in sixteen century.

Apparently, My current motive is to be with Alex. I'm very excited and nervous at the same time. I would if he will like me or not. I finished getting ready and went to see my son. There was a knight standing at the entrance of Alex's room.

After what happened before it's was the obvious thing to do. Thanks to those bitches.

I entered the room and immediately got embraced by warm hug. That little guy ran at me with his tiny legs.

" Mother you okay?" His tone sounded worried which made me realise that he knows about the incident.

Needless to say, maids and other workers likes to gossip alot I mean who doesn't ? But the fact is even a six year old boy like Alex some how heard of it. I picked him up. He was not that heavy, in fact I felt like carrying a big teddy bear. I rested his tiny head on my shoulder.

" It's fine son, I'm perfectly okay thanks to your father. "

Alex was the kid version of Timothy, almost like the exact copy. The only thing he received from his mother— Lucinda, was her deep blue eyes. He is such an adorable child. I bet when he will grow up, he will become a very handsome guy. Girls will line up for him.

Little Alex lifted his head from my shoulder

" Father saved you?" He was not aware of the fact that Mr. prick-head saved me from drowning.

" Yes, he did." Alex moved his head and fixed it at me, looking me directly into my eyes.

" Don't worry mother. When I grow up I will protect you." Aww no one ever said these things to me. I was overwhelmed after hearing him say it.

" Okay my knight in shining armour." I kissed him softly on his cheeks. He started to giggle and hug me tightly. This is my first time encountering with a kid.

As I was living far away from home and doing a reckless job like prostitution, I kept myself away from socialising. I was a loner from the beginning. I do love kids when I saw them on road or other places. But I never really talked or spend time with them.

Alex looked healthy to me at this moment. I am not sure if those concubines had already started their plot or not. There is only one person who can help me right now and that is Lucinda's father— King Arthur.

It's been two years since Lucinda had visited her father. Even at that time she didn't told anything to her father. She pretended to be happy but it was all a lie. I know that I can't go to see my father just like that. The prick head can stop me from going there. So, I need to think of a solid plan that will work.

I was happy to spend time with my new son. When he calls me 'Mother' my heart fills up with joy. It was something that I never expected to be happen. I was laying on the bed with Alex. He was sleeping soundly while holding me with his tiny arms.

Without thinking about anything else I closed my eyes and went to sleep, hoping that tomorrow will be a new day with new challenges.

As I opened my eyes, Alex was still sleeping. I got out from the bed and went to my room. When I walked out from the door, a large male figure appeared in front of me. I looked up and saw it was Timothy.

Excellent! now that I saw his face, my day is so fuc*ing ruined.

" Good morning your majesty." I bowed down my head and greeted him politely.

" So, you spend the night here." His voice was rigid and harsh. What the hell man?! I was sleeping with my cute little son. You are acting like I spend the night with some other dude. Jeez!

" Yes my lord. I was putting him to sleep and somehow I also fell asleep at that time." Hearing my reply he didn't made any sound, just left from there.

I let out a deep sigh of relief. Uff! Finally he's gone.

I entered my room and Anna was there.

After getting ready I asked Anna to bring the breakfast and check if Alex was woken up.

" If he's awake bring him here to have breakfast with me." Royal children are usually brought up by the nanny and other workers. They usually don't spend much time with their parents. The father and mother both are busy looking after the nation.

But since they have kept me away from all the work, I might use this time for my son. Lucinda used to work on maintaining the budget of household and other stuffs as well. But it was taken away from her by the new coming concubines. They first started as by helping her later they told Timothy that Lucinda can not manage the household budgets so, the position was taken away.

Alex came with Anna and his other nanny. At the first glance I can feel a nasty vibe from his nanny. So, I need to find out if my hunch is right or wrong.

" Mother!" Alex came and hugged me. Nothing feels better than starting your day with a cute warm hug like this.

I had instructed Anna to make the dishes that Alex likes. So, Anna served the food and filled up my tea cup. In my head I can see the memories of Lucinda where she used to have breakfast with Alex and Timothy.

Later it was only her and Alex but after some time she had to stop being with Alex.

It was something plotted by the concubine especially those three. There was fifteen concubine in total but only three among them were the mastermind behind every thing.

One day Lucinda made some dishes for Alex but when he ate those, Alex was suddenly ill. When the doctor came he told that Alex was allergic to some food that was used in those dishes.

Lucinda was well informed about what can be allergic to Alex. She was certain that she did not used any thing or ingredient like that. Still it happened.

Timothy was angry after seeing his only son suffering. He was angry and heated up with the whole incident. So, he stopped Lucinda from staying with Alex.

This decision was made in chaos and it was so cruel and inhuman like to separate a child from his mother.

That moment Lucinda did not thought about who was the real culprit. She was only worried about her child. But I can clearly tell it was those three girls. I need to find out everything about them. So, that I can punish them all.

Those three girls are Eleanor Stanford— the mastermind, Martha Linden— her underling number one and Grace Blackwood— her second loyal underling. The other concubines only follow them to keep their place in harem.

So, if I take them down I won't have to worry about others. But one thing is sure I will punish all of them.

In the memories of Lucinda I can see everyone. I still haven't meet with them. It had been two days since I was drowned. None of them came to see me.

It was not special in fact no one ever came to see Lucinda when she was alive. They only came when there was some work. All of them ignored her. Sometimes she got fever but only Anna was here for her. In fact they never told Timothy about it. Because if he knew he would definitely come.

I may have been here for just two days but i am not naive like Lucinda. I can observe people and tell how they are. When he came to see me in the morning I knew that he actually wanted to see how am I feeling.

He may not ask me about my health or condition but deep down in his heart that was his real motive. Timothy became detached from Lucinda for so long. If I can bring back the lost love of his, I can definitely gain him back.

I mean I don't want to love him or never will but I have to pretend that I love him. That way it will be easier to manage him.

There's another thing that gives me extra confidence. Thing is, both of them got separated long time ago. Thus they were disconnected. In this time no one from the harem got pregnant with his child.

There were times when other concubine spent night with him. There were also some incidents where Lucinda saw him being close with other girls.

But if he really got physical with any of the ladies, one of them had to pregnant by now. Because in this time condoms and brith control pills didn't existed. There were some herbs and medicine that can prevent pregnancy but they were risky. So in this area women preferred having ten kids rather than trying some weird herb.

Sounds definitely bad to me!

I have been using brith control pills and condoms from a long time since I didn't had surgery. Yeah it was hard to maintain it but after a while I got used to it.

So, with this theory I can be seventy percent certain that Timothy only love Lucinda and he hasn't really been with other girls. Still there are possibilities that I can be wrong. But for now I do have a chance to win his heart.
