Artialle Winter

^^^Year 2739^^^

Kingdom of Arlante, center of several kingdoms. Arlante Lineage lies within generation from generation.

There are a few generations, where the Lineage of Power continued to soar—5th and 7th generation—Prince Leon, a Paladin, who possess the Aura of Fire and Princess Illiane, who surprisingly was blessed with the Aura of the golden light as a Paladin.

In this Generation, 11th, is full of expectancy to newly born children, who'll possess new fragments of power from the above.

Several Children who possessed fragments of rare power, abuse it to the extent of exile. Dukedoms fear that punishment, educate their children who possess this kind of fragments.

Chosen from the Political Affairs to whom shall have the possibility to ascend the throne, were those children who come from family of a noble, like the Yarno Family—Emily Yarno, the middle child of the Duke Clisso and Duchess Meredith, Miraculously gifted with the power of aqua. Political Affairs forced the Duke and the duchess to have Emily Yarno in line for the throne ascension with other children who were also chosen by them.

「 Fragments are scattered for blessed children to inherit. 」, was once a book said from the holy temple.

The Holy Temple is one of the powerful organization. It is the 3rd in power hierarchy—First in line is the Arlante Palace, Second In line, Political Affairs, and Fourth in line are the Dukedoms.

Only Healers and those of gifted with light and golden fragments, go to Holy Temple as it is one of the well-known tradition for children gifted with healing fragments to serve in the Temple.

Arlante family, never once was there a healer from the past generations. They don't worry about the Holy temple much as they are much of a higher status than them. Holy Temple can only give opinions, at last, the emperor will be the one to judge their own path.

No one dares to go against the orders of the Emperor Arlante, aside from the holy temples consistent begging for the emperor to allow them to have control over the gifted children without the Palace knowing, only made the emperor mad and ranked them down the hierarchy. All citizens know and recognizes the Emperor of Arlante is one of the savior of whole kingdoms, Surviving the war that caused houses of dukedoms to fall apart, and his efforts did not betray him, and manage to earn victory against rebels of his own kingdom with complete limbs to guide him home. Any further begging of the Holy Temple will be much worse of an exile punishment.

...****************...

“Blah blah blah, whatever! I'm gonna die in few years anyway!", a girl in age of 8 huffed annoyedly at the thick book with a black accompanied with gold linings on its edges, in her hands.

turning around from lying to her belly to sit.

She looks around her room, "this girl...how did you manage to live in here", she muttered as she took in the place of her room, wooden walls, ceiling, ground, and door. Clearly, this is a lower ranked maid's room. Fortunately, nothing is damaged but dusts are everywhere–just how do they treat this girl?

She closes the book, resting it on top of the pillow that she placed on the floor to support her elbows for reading—going to the mirror and proceeds to stare at the appearance of someone else than herself, a mumbled under her breath.

"Artialle Winter"

Artialle Winter, A supporting character and said to be the 'meekest' character in the novel–Savior's Love, a novel between two lead characters, Lilian and Cyllus, where the leads fell in love after a war.

it's your typical fantasy romance between main leads, and I, a reincarnator, is so done and you might wonder who I am in the body of a noble child.

「 I'm Kim Yaesul, a 27 year old woman. My nationality is Korean but I grew up in states so I never really learned Korean since my mom died early and my father is a foreigner who also died early because of car accident when I was around 16 years old, so I'm pretty much alone in my adulthood. I have no friends at all, personally and at work, which is a factory working place, I am a repacker of packages there and I get a little-to bare minimum wage salary and you guessed it I died because of money problem.

How did I die? ah! right.

I was taking a stroll the night after my shift with a plastic bag that contains alcohols and some snacks to chew on.

My jeans all dusty from the packages that I had to repackage, though a little easy to dust off, i just let them be there—as I was nearing my... our house, the lights flicker on the post near the house. Standing there for a few more seconds before I opened the gate to the house and close it as I entered our property. Striding forward without much thought in my brain, and before I knew it, I'm right In front of my work desk, which was empty, cans of alcohol and snacks open, there are a few cans rolling at the floor, and bits of snacks somehow got on my bed.

Head resting on my arm, facing the bed as my vision starts tripling, I thought I just fell asleep but the next thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the wooden ceiling and now I'm... somehow Artialle Winter. 」

Artialle's parents should return is about two weeks from now, and when they find out how maids treat her, they for sure would fire every single maid inside their palace-like house.

"poor thing... food...I need food", her face distorting into realisation of her hunger.

looking from her left to her right, turning around and doing the same thing to search for valuable object that can and might help her break down the wooden door she has been trying to broke down ever since she reincarnated. it has been a week since then, and not a single food was given to her, only water though.

Which was rather infuriatingly maddening. She's skin and bones.

her vision fell on the book that she read earlier. 'can this help?', was her thought, and with that she proceeds to bend down and pick up the book with two hands because it's too heavy for her even though someone her age can carry two or more books.

She strides toward the wooden door. gathering strength as much as she can and collided the book near the door handle, it made a creaking sound, there's a progress. She goes on and on until the door finally made a gap and opens slightly. She cheered exhaustedly, how does she have no strength?!

Calming herself, looking outside the door with her head peeking ever so slightly to see if there's someone, but to no surprise there's no one, she made a quick grab on a plain dress that looks like a sleeping dress, a plain bottom pajama and an underwear which is probably her size and it was clean, fortunately. Putting them into the sheet she found inside the closet with a knot that resembles a bag and with that she went back to look at the gap of the door with the clothes she grab, She knows the way to Artialle's room like the back of her palm due to re-reading the villain side of this novel, but there is a dangerous route for her to take, the hallways, as maids might be there cleaning or arranging stuff that does not probably needed to be cleaned or arranged, so the safest route is the lake which is probably less than a mile away from the rooms of lowest ranked maids.

***note : the small house of the lowest ranked maids are connected to the main palace on the back side of it.***

Going barefoot is good!

Running out of the room and the house. She saw the outside, that must be the entrance door.

Slowing down her run, cautiously taking steps with her eyes looking to her side and behind to make sure no one will be there to see her.

Successful, she run out of the door and her feet finally touched grass for the first time again. as she spot a big tree, Artialle immediately ran towards it and hid behind, her small frame can never be seen. She assessed her surroundings and found where the direction of the late was and without even taking more time to catch her breath, She immediately took off, running as fast as she can to arrive at the lake.

it took 15 minutes for her to arrive at the lake, sweat running down the side of her face. she flops on her bottom due to her exhaustion from running, hopefully no one saw her on the way. more importantly, she can finally wash up, though with only water which is the downside of it, but nonetheless, this is something to cheer for.

Kim Yaesul mentally sighs, a 27 year old in a body of an 8 year old sure is something she never expected. was she even at least given a bread once or twice in a week or something? because she have no strength at all! she's so skinny like a stick!

setting her thoughts aside, dipping one of her foot to test the lake temperature–eyes shut for incoming wince, but it never came. Thankfully, the lake was lukewarm and she immediately took her dirty dirty clothes off and steps into the lake, the water is up to her waist which is good.

She sits on a rock that she felt with her foot, and started to wet her hair as she dipped her head down, and went back up to sit properly, and with her hands gathering water to splash directly to her face gently.

this is so nice~
