Wrong Era: Butterfly of the Lady of Wealth
Prologue
It was my 5th Birthday, and I was playing with my pet puppy; Coby.
We were running around when suddenly I tripped on a shell and fell into the sea.
I can hear my mom cry and screams, I can't understand what dad was saying under the water, but I can tell by his expression when I fell that he was worried about me.
I closed my eyes as I drowned.
I opened my eyes in a familiar yet unfamiliar place, Many ancient people are bowing at me, Calling me it's Ruler.
Not only that, but I'm a Queen? I was confused, then suddenly a bright light came, and the scene changed, I was in the study room now.
Many female officials are asking me something about the Kingdom and the people.
The scenery changed again, I was standing in front of many people, all cheering, something about winning 3 kingdom wars straight for 15 years.
Everyone was praising its Queen.
The scenery changed again, It was a banquet, and everyone was celebrating, I was drinking with the officials.
I was stabbed by the man by my side in the back, I looked at him, and he was aggrieved for some reason and everyone in the banquet had that worried expression on their faces.
Some are shocked, frozen in place, crying, and running towards me with a sad expression.
I looked at the man again, and he was stabbed by many Imperial Soldiers and spit out blood, He muttered the word "I'm sorry" with tears in his eyes he closed his eyes and died.
I slowly lost my consciousness and awakened from that, I saw the ceiling of the Hospital, I looked around for a bit.
And there I saw my parents, My Mom and Dad, Mom was holding my hand asleep and my dad was sitting by the couch, reading some important papers.

𝐿𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑜 𝑖𝑡 That... would be a great risk if you sign that one.
Alexios Grey Eriales
Hm? Which one?
Maraiah
The one with NS Company on it.
Alexios Grey Eriales
Oh? Why do you say so?
Maraiah
Dad, you're about to sign that document, but I have concerns about the risks involved. The terms in the agreement seem confusing and there are so many loopholes. I think you should take a step back and review the document thoroughly before making a decision. Since it's crucial to protect the company's interests and ensure that we are not exposing ourselves to unnecessary risks.
Alexios Grey Eriales
𝑆ℎ𝑜𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑑 Where did you learn these things, Yana?
Maraiah
Umm, just saw it somewhere.
Alexios Grey Eriales
𝑅𝑎𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑛 𝑒𝑦𝑒𝑏𝑟𝑜𝑤 What about looking into some of these too. 𝐺𝑖𝑣𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠.

Maraiah
Oh. 𝑅𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 Dad, I'm 5.
Alexios Grey Eriales
I know.
Maraiah
You're letting me check this?
Maraiah
What if I messed it up?
Alexios Grey Eriales
I'll just let my secretaries fix it later then.
Alexios Grey Eriales
Besides, you'll take over my group when you're of age. 𝑃𝑎𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑟 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑑
Alexios Grey Eriales
Yes, you will.
Alexios Grey Eriales
So, go on. You can mess it up if you want, but I still want to see results.
Maraiah

Alexios Grey Eriales
Yana did.
Alexios Grey Eriales
Just check it.
Keira Knightley
𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑡 Umm, Can you tell me why did she scribble on the risks and profitable parts of these documents?
Keira Knightley
Did you let her scribble on this?
Alexios Grey Eriales
I did, So... What did she do?
Keira Knightley
Our daughter is a genius, She saw through those loopholes and risks, and highlighted some benefits of it.
Keira Knightley
If she was taught properly about this, She can run a whole company on her own when she grows up.
Alexios Grey Eriales
Or she can just do so, Now.
Alexios Grey Eriales
I know.
Keira Knightley
She's not in a legal age to run one yet!
Alexios Grey Eriales
Who would dare to go against it?
Keira Knightley
I would, you know how hard it is to run a company, let alone a whole group.
Alexios Grey Eriales
It's okay, We'll have her back if she encounters any problems, but first... we'll have to ask about her opinion.
Keira Knightley
Definitely.
Alexios Grey Eriales
By the way, If you're here...Who's cooking?
Keira Knightley
Mamie took over it, Oh right, Yana asked for water, right?
Keira Knightley
Well, did you give her a glass of water?
Alexios Grey Eriales

Barbara went away to take care of her mommy and daddy's company. When she came back, she saw him doing something wrong. She got very sad and ran away crying. Then, she did something to make things right and took over Kennith's family's company. She told Kennith he couldn't work there anymore. Kennith said sorry and asked for forgiveness, but Barbara said no and asked him to leave. Now, Barbara is at a party, and something bad happened to her. She got hurt and is very sick.
Keira Knightley
Oh? Then you should take her to the hospital.
Maraiah
Too late, Mommy, She's already dead because you disturb me. Now Barbara's friends are crying.
Keira Knightley
Oh my, I shouldn't have disturbed you then.
Keira Knightley
Why don't you bury Barbara instead then?
Maraiah
I couldn't because an unknown man took her away and put her into a cold ice coffin and laid beside her. Now he says bye bye.
Keira Knightley
Aww, Why don't you come down and eat dinner then? Dinner is ready, so If you let the food wait, it might also run away.
