The Special Reward By God

...“You, my child deserves your rewards, the proper happiness in this lifetime.”...

The heavenly voices uttered incomprehensible words that rung by her earlobe. Such words echoing in her mind forced her awake when she's supposed to be dead and existing in a realm that's anything but the living realms.

“--cess Aubrianna! Your Royal Highness, Crown Princess Aubrianna!!!” The shouting voice by her side had awakened her from the deep slumber state she was originally in.

“Ugh... where the hell am I---” As soon as her eye fluttered open, the stun sent her horrified on the soft mattress she laid upon.

Her pure darkness had become a surrounding of an extravagantly luxurious yet unfamiliar room with unrecognisable maidservants panicking around nearing her bed at the sight of her awaking.

“Your Royal Highness!!! Crown princess, we thought that you'll never wake up again....” The maidservants encircled the area near her, shedding tears as they sobbed collectively.

Who... even are these people?!

“Ehh....?!!!!!”

***

I blinked once, twice and even thrice, setting all the facts that had been sent to my now likely broken brain to be swallowed.

Bits by bits, I had just retrieved back feasibly all the shattering pieces belonging to me or more precisely, Aubrianna and mine.

The day before had always been another normal day yet heaven had decided the worst way possible to send me, Aubrey Henriette upstairs to that I would love a refund.

Reiterating again the scene nearing my shameful death;

“How does it taste, sister... Aubrey?” Cartia Grace, her younger sister inquired her lovingly, seeking a decent critique over her first-time cooking.

I commented while chewing on the rather well-cooked meat, “Well much better than those guys cooking for sure...”

The night dinner only began the moment I had taken a bite of it, followed by others who also began to hold their cutleries up, making way for the food into their mouth.

The ground rule of their group was rather strict, such as that.

Tonight's meal was supposed to be a delicious steak yet those foolish guys had forgotten to care for the time spent cooking the meat--- resulting in a burnt steak whose path was the trash.

Their brain was as loose as their head was about to be yet lucky then, Cartia was home in time, rescuing the guys from being chopped into chunks replacing the tender steak that they'd wasted.

“Next time, you should let the---”

Something was stuck on my airways, causing me to cough uncontrollably.

I-- Aubrey Henriette had eaten the dinner in much of a haste to the point of choking which caused a commotion amongst the members.

They tried anything, well everything they could have ever done; passing me a jug of water to chug it down, patting my back multiple times, praying to God with the cross dangling in every finger they have and so on.

Yet, none of them works... as I felt my oxygen depleting very quickly, my body had plummeted to the floor.

Each and every one of them was fearful with tears already creating a small pond in the room as I lay unconscious in the midst of it.

So... was I dead already? And to top it with that, from food choking? What the fxck... This is hella unfair!!!

How in the world did I, a notable luminary person in the underworldly business was past-tensed from choking on freaking food too???

This was way much more ridiculous than that trash who died in the middle of copulating. I, that namely underworld empress was gonna be commemorated at her grave as someone who died from choking?

I was barely by the age of twenty, a forever single person whose that type of innocence was purer than the four archangels themselves.

Never had I in this life involved in the dating life, what's even was nightly activity due to my focus on conquering the underworld, devoting life only to my group and Cartia.

Dying alone was so lonely... especially when your regret was about not being able to find a soulmate you're sure would miss you a lot while remembering your memories before death.

I... if only, if only was I able to breathe again, I wish to find the love of my life for once, the soulmate I was yet to mate with.

...“Dear, your yearnings is too intriguing. Those dreams and wishes of yours shall come true per my heed...”...

...An enigmatic voice uttered so mysteriously......

***

“Ughh... my head hurts...” I grumbled at the tension located near my throbbing temples while rubbing my eyes for a clearer vision of the sight in front of me.

As I was washing up full of concerns, a maidservant bowed as she walked in, proceed to whisper something to my hearing. “Crown Princess Aubrianna, Your Royal Highness was requested to prepare yourself for your academy.”

...Crown Princess Aubrianna...???

Since when had I become a crown princess and on top of that, Aubrianna?! While I realised that I had switched body or to be more exacted got into this body of a crown princess this morning, this incident remained unintelligible to me.

My name was Aubrey, Aubrey Henriette, the glorious underworld empress, not a crown princess of the world with the name Aubrianna???

I... as recalled end up choking to death, leading me here... which was odd supposing that my destiny was that six feet under with my soul by the scythe of a grim reaper so why???!!!!

GOD JUST WHY??

After mentally complaining to God, a bolt when through my head, well phantom bolt as it stacked up the missing memories, completing the blank spaces in this body owner aka Aubrianna's memories.

Crown Princess Aubrianna Henrietta de Esta Sophronia, the noble crown princess of the Sophronia empire.

Her personality was that of a timid and foolish princess whose demise was planned by her own fleshes if that even was true flesh related.

She ended up dying in the hand of her own step-sister who had craved her spot as the crown princess leading to this greed-driven treason.

This pitiable princess was loathed by her own step-siblings with some even brazenly daring to step on her head who technically was younger than her.

Nevertheless, she was the emperor's most doted-on princess, being the only daughter of the empress in the empire, meaning the only person carrying the Sophronia blood in her.

The royal family of Sophronia consisted of the sun of empire, the emperor with the moon of the empire, the empress, her as the crown princess, three concubines and twenty-three princess who was her stepsisters.

She possessed a lengthy yet also gorgeous name, Crown Princess Aubrianna Henrietta de Esta Sophronia, slightly similar to my name-- Aubrey Henriette. Without the honorifics and the surname of course.

Moreover, we were identical to each other, a carbon copy to one another, only with the exception of the hair and iris shades.

...“Aubrey, listen... I hope that in this life you will make this name liven as the glorious and dignified next empress of Sophronia. Be proud and happy.”...

An androgynous voice spoke the inside of my mind from a source I wasn't sure of as my mind tickled at the sound echoing it.

“Wait-- Aubrianna? Aubry, is that you? I plead I promise that I, Aubrey Henriette shall vow that I will help us rise to power and become an unprecedented empress that forever shines in history for a lifetime.”

I placed my hand one by my side pledging as my other pressed on the chest, swearing whole-heartedly.

Perhaps it could have been wrong but just now, I could feel someone smiling at me, in both contentment and relief although that little sign that's enough of a gesture to assure me.

I genuinely wished for a better life, a better place for her in comparison to this hell on earth, that's incredibly tough to even live by.

This time, this moment shall be a new journey for me as Aubrianna replacing my past life journey that had already come to an end.

My body was taken care of by the maidservants, being prepared from washing to dressing up each was being aided by them.

Currently, I will be preparing to go to the academy in place of Aubrianna in this physically a few days dead bodies to acquire the lesson I was required of.

The Royal Academy of Sophronia, where an academy solely made for the highest of elites to study at. There was roughly the count of twenty classes of all, with nine of it being the major classes;

The magic class, the swordsmanship class, the inner-core combat class, the invisible-archery class, the refinery class, the enchanter class, the druid class, the forging class and the cookery class.

Based on Aubrianna remaining memories;

The magic class-- a class where each scholar cultivated their elemental magics.

The swordsmanships class-- a combat class learning by the use of a weapon of blade favourably the sword.

The inner-core combat class-- a combat class discovering the strategy into applying forces using inner core, producing the elemental magic or even more advanced ones.

The Invisible-archery class-- a combat class specifically for learning how to combat using a bow with its unique invisible arrow.

The refinery class-- a class on topics of converting some raw materials into valuable substances once the impurities are removed.

The enchanter class-- a class on learning how to apply a magic enchantment in a fight

The druid class-- a class that teaches special magic for healing including spells that are related to climate or floral, summoning and shapeshifting,

The forging class-- a class made specially to learn on how to forge using the mind control or even magic

The cookery class-- a class for the purpose of creating exqusite cuisines that possess a healing effect or even amplifying strength effects.

While all the lessons sound interesting in terms of subjects, with that lot was quite hard to be digested.

Right, typical scholars would commonly choose only one class matching with their capability as to specialise in that area.

However, Crown Princess Aubrianna was required to take all nine of the major classes with additional lessons at the palace regarding etiquette and managing the empire.

Total respect to the past crown princess for even being able to go through all the lessons with all the burden on her shoulder due to her innocent and timid personality.

Easily said, she'd kindly endured in silence and tolerated all the things thrown her way until the very ending where she was eventually murdered by her blood-relative.

Such a tragic backstory one could ever have.

I rode the royal carriage which I noted was bumpy even worse than those bumpy roads in the far future I'd ever gone through in order to head towards the academy.

Today's lesson will be a magic class taught by the infamous magic instructor, Hermione Eloise.

Will things ever be a calm day without the interruption of another calamity?

***

In all honesty, I had always had this thought hung by my mind a lot. Why was it that I am wearing dresses when others without a care were able to just wear pants, both the males and females?

I never had disliked dressing up in dresses and things as if such but certainly, I fancied the trousers a lot more as it was easier to be in when executing literally anything.

A clap from the instructor pulled me back from my thoughts;

“Today, my scholars, we will be testing your elemental magic to discover your fundamental element powers for the convenience of the future. With that said... let's get started now!” Instructor Hermione snapped her fingers.

A crystal ball the shape of a sphere conveniently fell into her hand out of thin air, a prepared material for the testing of her students.

One by one the scholars went to get their element figured out. “Your Royal Highness, it is your turn now.” Instructor Hermione reminded me as I apparently was caught staring into the abyss fit quite a period.

I slowly rose from my seat and while walking towards the female instructor, I asked with quite the spent expressions;

“I only need to place my hand onto this, right?”

She nodded in acquiescence, thus allowing me to place down my hand onto the ball before dallying for the results.

As I waited so, some mocking snickering intended for me could clearly be heard, perhaps already predicting my terrible outcomes to turn out horribly.

Within even the count of a minute, a black, no rather it was a pure darkness kind of glow beamed from the ball, causing a shattering sound that soon proceeded to explode in my hand.

Staring at the shards in my palms, I looked up at the instructor and the fellow scholars whose jaws were dropped to the lowest level of the floor.

All the eyes directed onto me were injected with thunderstruck and aghast. So was it caused by the black light my element had radiated or the glass all I had unintended shattered into pieces?

Such a scene I made though.

Instructor Hermione gaped her mouth even before reasonably asking, “Your Royal Highness, may I ask of you to follow me to the instructor's main chamber?”

I just nodded in silence while slowly wiping my hands that had just held the glass shards before I was guided by her to the said room.

An instructor passed by before greeting the other instructor also me as she commented to her colleague; “Eloise, what's wrong? Your face is so pale.” Lucinda, the enchanter class instructor asked.

“Elements code black.” Such simple words, yet hearing it even stunned before she decided to go along with the two of us in search of the headmaster.

Arriving at the instructor's lounge, Instructor Hermione use the communication lace by her wrist to inform the news directly to the headmaster, “Reporting to the headmaster, it's a code black.”

In a split of a second, a silhouette appeared in front of the trio. The two instructors per etiquette bowed at him who had then instantly faced me.

“Greetings to the flower of Sophronia empire, Your Royal Highness Crown Princess Aubrianna Henrietta de Esta Sophronia.” I nodded in return, probably coming off as cold but to no excuse, I was drained totally drained despite the inspiring oath full of spirit I've made this sunrise.

Was it truly wasn't possible even for a minute rest from these people? How merciless...

“I am the headmaster, the head instructors of the...” He then halted his words right in the middle before throwing a smile at me, “...I'm certain that Your Royal Highness was able to assume my name, isn't that so?”

His words had the two instructors glancing at each other in oddity as no one, not a person they'd known of ever know his name even onetime.

“You're indeed quite intriguing for a headmaster, such however doesn't rival my curiosity in regard of the master of the element, the Elemental King.”

My directness managed to bring forth a frown from the instructors yet the headmaster simply grinned at my speech.

“While I couldn't say that I am familiar with him, I am more than capable of bringing you, the flower of the empire to him. Have a good time there, Your Royal Highness.” Before I even was able to shake my head or nod to his words, with a snap of his fingertips I was teleported to the elemental king's residences.

Such a pity that I wasn't able to smack that moron in the face prior to my teleportation realising where exactly was I teleported...
