Episode 2

"this must be a damn joke..." Ariana says, unable to believe what she was seeing in front of the mirror.

"have I really gone back in time?..." she wonders as she touches her face and hair, in her reflection she is seeing her appearance as when she was a child.

long and bright red hair, a pale and milky skin with a pink tone that makes her look soft and delicate and two golden eyes that shine like the sun adorning her angelic little girl's face.

"I must be about 12 years old, right?" Ariana keeps looking at herself in the mirror unable to believe it "honestly I had already forgotten that I was once so beautiful, I look like a porcelain doll although I don't remember my face being so expressionless.... I guess these are the consequences of my past... I feel like I have no emotions"

in the past Ariana gradually lost her beauty until practically nothing remained of it, just a emaciated body with completely ruined hair and two dull eyes without any shine, her beauty was completely lost due to the miserable life to which she was subjected.

after continuing to look at herself in the mirror for a while, Ariana finally became convinced that she had returned to the past when she was a child.

she simply lets herself fall to the floor and stares at the ceiling thoughtfully while sighing deeply.

"I really missed feeling like this... without any burden... without pain... I don't feel anything and that feels really good..."

she says raising her hand in the air looking at her small and delicate fingers.

then the question arises.

"what am I supposed to do now?..."

it is obvious that she does not want to live again in such a miserable way but it is not like she could do anything to avoid that destiny, no matter what she does nobody is going to love her and even less help her, if they did not do it the first time why would they do it now?

"should I just run away and that's it?... at least that way I would have a quiet life, besides I don't think anyone cares if I disappear... although if I run away I wouldn't have any luxury... mmm or should I take revenge?... nah I'm not good for that, besides it's not like I hold a grudge against anyone or rather that I can't feel resentment, although if they cross my path this time I won't hesitate to finish them off... I have become a damn doll without emotions..."

in the end Ariana decides nothing and ends up falling asleep there on the floor, as she had not done in several years, sleeping peacefully without any worries since for now she will be fine but she will definitely do something to change her future...

but unfortunately that dream did not last long since a maid entered the room when she found Ariana lying on the floor she thought she had been unconscious and was alarmed forming a scandal that woke her up.

"princess are you alright?!!" asks the maid alarmed shaking Ariana's body like a crazy person.

"noisy, shut up" says Ariana irritated making the maid silent by instinct because the tone and the intimidating aura that Ariana gave off at that moment was terrifying.

"I was just asleep you don't have to make so much noise Mari" says Ariana looking at her with those expressionless eyes that intimidated so much that it was impossible to maintain eye contact.

"what the hell is wrong with me?" Mari wonders in her thoughts as she sees her body tremble "the princess is terrifying, it's all the fault of that accident"

Ariana stands up and heads to the bed to drop herself on it, she just wants to keep sleeping.

"it seems that you are better princess, I was very worried after the accident" says Mari reacting because it is illogical that now she is afraid of the girl she has raised since she was a baby.

"what accident?" asks Ariana not knowing what she is referring to.

"you don't remember?, ho, it's logical, you hit yourself very hard when you fell down the stairs" says Mari making Ariana search her mind for that memory.

oh, I remember now, once I threw myself down the stairs thinking that if I hurt myself my family would worry and come to see me but contrary to that, nobody worried since due to my special blood any wound is healed instantly but only the wounds, I remember that I had a high fever and spent three days in bed... I was 12 years old when that happened, so I'm effectively 12 years old now, let's see... I was 23 years old before the return so I went back 11 years in the past, when I was in my stupidest stage where I would do anything to get the attention of my mothers and brothers... I can't believe that I even threw myself off a stairs, stupid girl... well, the first thing I'm going to do is stop following my family like a dog, if they don't love me and ignore me, I don't have to do the opposite, screw them all this time!!

"I see... don't worry, I'm fine now, now I just want to sleep please" says Ariana yawning and closing her eyes.

"okay, I will notify their majesties that you are al"

"you will not notify anything" Ariana interrupts

"the fact that they did not come to see me after the accident or while I was sick only confirms that I do not matter to them so you are not going to notify anything, I do not have to report what happens to me or stops happening to some people who do not even care about me, that only makes me look like a fool" says Ariana in a cold tone that leaves Mari perplexed but she understands.

and she is happy that maybe the blow made her realize the reality and is no longer begging for love from a family that does not even care about her and always ignores her.

"okay, I'll leave, rest princess" says Mari and proceeds to leave the room closing the door behind her thinking that the princess has finally matured and from now on she will value herself more.

Ariana just lets out a sigh and closes her eyes falling asleep again after a while.
