Chapter 1 "New Life"

Kang Siwoo, a college student had just finished his appointments for the day

“Today was really tiring…” he said to himself as he is walking down the street while reading a novel in his phone, titled 'Lovely Princess'

“Did her life have to end this tragically?” he said, reffering to a side character who met an unfortunate end

The novel he reads revolve around the main character, Jeneatte De Alger Obelia. The novel tell us about how the main character melts the heart of the cold-blooded tyrant, Claude De Alger Obelia

(The story is set in the historical era, where there are nobles, knights, and magic)

Claude De Alger Obelia is revered by Obelia as a hero who saved them from the tyrannical ways of the previous emperor, reigning as the next ruler after his older brother

The emperor worked as an impeccable and inflexible ruler, who had indifference for noble titles and care for the empire's well-being. He is a cold-blooded emperor who showcases indifference and detachment

Jeanette is a kind and bright child who was easy to love and became the center of attention. She was the emperor's daughter

At first, the emperor was cold and indifferent towards her, but as time gradually passed while spending time with her, he grew to cherish her

There was also another child, Athanasia De Alger Obelia, the first daughter of the emperor

Jeanette and Athanasia became friends, and although Athanasia was the emperor's daughter, he did not spare her any indifference that he had

“I feel pity for her to have this sorry excuse of a father” Siwoo exclaimed, annoyed by the attitude of the emperor

(In the novel, Athanasia meets a tragic end by the hands of the emperor, her very own father) He thought as his expression becomes sad yet unemotional

He stops in front of the crossroad as the sign indicates not to cross yet, until he sees a ball rolling towards his direction from the other side, and at the same time a kid running in the crossroad to chase it

“It's dangerous!!” he shouts with a distressed expression as he sees an incoming truck, and by instinct he rushes forward and pushes him out of the way taking the hit in his stead

-CRASH

(..I'm about to lose consciousness.. did the kid make it out?.) his vision starts to blur as he loses his consciousness (I'm gonna faint.)

-He blacked out

...“♪ Hmm~ ♪” he hears a faint and calming melody (....Who's humming?..) he slowly opens his eyes to see an unfamiliar and strange setting (...Where is this.. everything looks luxurious!! am I in heaven?!) he was in a room enamoured in gold (Seriously?!)

“Oh, you're awake!” a woman dressed in a maid's uniform comes closer and lifts him up (H-how did she-) his thoughts come to a pause as he reaches out his hands and see that they're small and are that of an infant

The maid smiles gently and carries him with care “I seem to have woken you up your highnesss” she says affectionately (I'm a baby..) he thought while trying to sort his situation

(I seem to have reincarnated but where?) he observes his surroundings and notice the outdated design of the room (the structure is very similar to the eastern parts of the continent yet.. these design exist only in the later parts of history and her clothes... 'your highness'?)

He contemplated his thoughts and came to the conclusion (I must be in the past! that would explain my situation, and judging by the way she addressed me, I must be royalty)

“I have to put you back to sleep or the headmaid might scold me for disturbing you.. it's a relief that the princess is still asleep” she said while breathing a sigh of relief (Princess?)

“Anyway, let's play for a bit before I put you to sleep” she smiled while gazing at him affectionately (..She seems nice..) she carries him carefully and goes towards a mirror

“Kya! you look so cute your highness! you look like an angel sent from above” she dottingly adores me as he analyzes his appearance (..blonde hair and-) he pauses for a second as he gazes at his reflection (..pretty... they look like jewels..)

“As expected of your highness, your jewel-blue eyes that symbolize the imperial lineage adds up an extra charm for your adorable appearance!” she says excitedly as she fawns over his lovable appearance

('Imperial lineage'?? 'jewel-blue eyes'?? somehow those terms, when put together, sound familiar...) The maid continues to play with him making him more and more tired (..I'm tired..it must be this body.. ) he slowly closes his eyelids and the maid takes notice of this and smiles softly

The maid carries him back to the crib, and places him down gently as to not wake him up “Sleep well your highnesses”

The scenery show two identical babies, the mc, and another baby girl sleeping peacefully
