Chapter 3

Seriously, l was going crazy, but I knew overthinking the situation wasn't going to get me anywhere.

So, l pulled myself together, got out of bed and walked a few steps toward a mirror. I had to know how l looked like. It's not like it would make a difference, but l had to completely convince myself that this whole thing was real, because l still couldn't rap my head around it.

My body was literally killing me, just what was wrong with it. How the hell did Lilith die for her body to hurt so much? I personally got shot with a gun and a car hit me afterwards, but I don't recall it hurting this much.

Anyway I somehow managed to get to the mirror without falling off. I look at myself or the body that was now mine. And I couldn't believe my eyes, she or the current me was so beautiful.

There was no doubt, that wasn't my original body, it didn't even come close. l was pretty before, and I had quite a nice body too, but this one, this one was something else entirely. l had no wards to describe myself, but yeah that totally wasn't me.

So, this whole rebirth thing was real, not that I doubt it before but now I sure as hell believe it was real.

I look closer at myself, examine my new body. Strange! There weren't any wounds in it that could have been the cause of Lilith death. She had fair skin, she hadn't known hardship even in this place. She remained a pure princess to the very end. So how did she die? Was she poisoned? Could be. That kind of thing was quite common in the ancient times.

But hell, did that mean someone killed her. What if they tried again, since I owned her body now, would they come to kill me too? But why, isn't she just an abounded princess no one cares about. Why would someone want her dead?... Was it the second prince, but why wait 6 years ?

I had a hundred questions and not a single answer. l didn't know anything. I thought l had figured out most of her life, but in reality I knew almost nothing. The anxiety was making me dizzy, this body was weak, nothing like my old one. I had to figure things out or l may die again soon.

And for once, it seemed god saw my suffering since Xiao Zhao, appeared at the right time. I was going to get some answers from her.

"Your highness, what are you doing standing up." She started to panic as soon as she saw me. "Please your highness, you need more rest." She said while helping me to get to the bed. "Are you feeling okay ? Does anything hurt? Your highness?

"Yeah, l'm fine." Actually, I was everything but fine. But that didn't matter, not now. Rest could wait, my answers' no. " Xiao, I'm okay. I really am, but can you please tell me what happened? How did I end up..." Dead, l wanted to say, but l definitely shouldn't do that, so instead I said. "Like this?"

Her eyes teared up, and she looked down, avoiding my gaze. And I realized just how stupid I was. Asking her something like that when I knew just how much she had cared for Lilith. My stupid question had reopened a wound that hadn't had time to heal yet. But l really needed to know or l could end up dead and this time l may even stay that way.

"Everything... everything happened so fast. ... I didn't... I didn't know what to do..." Her trembling voice hit my heart and I could feel her sadness, her fear. "I thought l was too ...too late… I through... I lost you..." Tears slide down her rosy cheeks, and l wondered just how hard she had tried to hold them back. How hard it may have been for her seeing Lilith die.

And at the same time, I wonder if someone had cried for me. If someone cared enough to cry over my death. There probably wasn't anyone. I had no family, no friends, no one at all. So ,how did I keep on going for so long?
