Chapter 1: New Life, Old Regrets

I could hear the audience's cheers for me, and waiting eagerly for me to win the match. Unanticipatedly I felt a sharp pain on the left side of my stomach, but I didn't pay any attention to it, as getting injured is a part of the match for boxers, like me, and what mattered to me, the most was winning that match. Then a few minutes later, I felt a much shaper pain on the right side and I fell on the ground, and then slowly everything turned completely black.

All of a sudden, I opened my eyes and saw that I was in different bedroom. I gave out sigh of relief, thinking that it was just a terrible nightmare and then I started starching my hair, out of my usual habit but for some reason my hair felt smoother than it used to, I thought that I was hallucinating, due to the lack of sleep, so I rushed towards the mirror, that was on the left side of the room.

When I looked into the mirror, I saw a beautiful woman with long, golden blonde hair and golden yellow eyes. The woman was so aesthetic, that it felt like she was some sort of angel and didn't belong on earth.

So, I stepped a bit closer to the mirror, in order to take a better look at her, and that's when I realized that the angelic woman in the mirror is no one other than me and without even realizing tears started falling out of my eyes.

Slowly, all the memories of my death rushed in front of my eyes. I was in a fight match with my childhood rival Hiiro, who was also my best friend, we grew up together in an orphanage near the coast side. We, two shared the same dream of becoming the best fighters in the world.

I was about to win the match, and everyone was cheering for me and that's when I felt a sharp pain of the left side of my stomach, but I didn't pay any attention to it but then someone stabbed me on the right side of my stomach and I fell on the ground, I was about to see the face of the person, who betrayed me but that's when everything turned completely black and I died due to excessive blood loss.

I was sure about the fact that I was betrayed by someone close to me, as the match was conducted in a boxing ring that was located near the orphanage, and the audience, were the people from the bar I used to work.

To be honest at that point, I didn't really know, how I should be feeling, once I felt rage about the fact that I was betrayed, then again, the very next moment I felt like I should be happy about the fact that I got a second chance to live, and then I remembered about the fact that I could never see my loved ones ever again and felt like crying my heart out.

My head was jammed and it was also hurting like hell at some parts, and I wasn't about to think straight, so I decided to take the sit on the chair right next to the mirror and recollect information about my current situation. I took a glance around the whole room. The room was enormous, it was so large, that I could possibly, fit my whole house in it.

If I thought about in carefully, all the decorations in that room were quite simple, and handcrafted, just like the ones used in 19th century, and it was a bit strange that there weren't any televisions in such a big room. Well, the room didn't really matter to me as there were many other superior factors that I had to deal and among them the biggest ones were that as whom did I reincarnate and where was I?

I was so lost in my thoughts that my hands slipped and I broke one of the decorations that was placed on the table beside the chair. I stood up to clean up the broken pieces, before I could get myself injured but that's when a huge group of women dressed up like maids entered the room like a swarm of bees, I was a bit startled by that and my right leg slipped and fell on the pieces of the broken vase.

"Ouch!!," I shouted out of pain. Those women were really peculiar, because rather than helping me out, they stood there and were gossiping among themselves in a strange language, which I was able to comprehend at all.

Among those huge swarm of maids, an old lady rushed towards me and helped me clean up my wound. I guess, the former owner of this body must have been quite fond of this old lady as tears were falling out of the eyes and I wasn't able to stop them.

"My dear princess, please don't cry. I promise, it won't hurt anymore." said the old woman, strangely this time I was able to understand everything that woman had said to me.

"My dear princess, it's all going be fine now, and please don't be so reckless." Said the old woman while whipping my tears with her old wrinkly warm hands. Somehow, her touch reminded me of Sensei Mae.

Life in an orphanage is never an easy one, having no one to complain, no one to talk about the worries, no one to chat with, being bullied by the other kids, and being force to fight for ones right.

I was about 2 months old when I brought into the orphanage. Slowly as I was growing up, I became I victim of bully in the orphanage, during that the Sensei Mae stood beside me, she was a teacher in orphanage. She taught me, how to be brave and face bully.

I really wanted to see her at least for once before I died, because I really wanted to show her how grateful I am to her, and how far I was able to come because of her, but I wasn't able to do any of them, and I started crying a lot more than before, I tried to stop my tears by putting my hands on top of my lips but that's didn't help much.

Then the old woman gave me tight hug. We both, didn't speak a single word and after a few mins, my tears stopped and I felt a lot better than before.

"My lady, are you feeling better?" the woman asked me while making a worried face. "Yes, I do feel a lot better now, but who are you and why are you calling me, princess?" Everyone was shocked by my question, and made faces like they had fallen from the sky.
