After learning the hard truth of how her twin sister Dalilah brainwashed and manipulated her mind for thirteen years, turning her into a ruthless assassin who killed hundreds of innocents including her youngest brother and best friend Valerian, twenty-seven-year-old Princess Natasha Nicholai, is executed in front of the Imperial Palace. Somehow, she gets sent back to the past right before Dalilah started putting her evil string on her mind, to when she was about to turn fourteen, and uses that as an opportunity to not let the past repeat itself, by getting her revenge on her sister and all the people who backed her and saving her younger brother as well as protecting the innocents she knows will be Dalilah's targets. But while also going after the truth about who stole her magic when she was 4yo, who sent her back and why did they do that, she will cross paths with Ethan Theodore, a dangerous and full of secrets guy, with ruby red eyes and whose destiny is directly linked to Natasha's.
View MoreIT WAS EXACTLY WHERE I REMEMBERED, only the design of the boutique was different and simpler than it will be. There weren't any customers inside when we got in, Gwen was alone there, eating a lemon cupcake with milk jam. And when her eyes landed on us, she got up awkwardly and finished the cupcake in one go.We weren't using any disguise anymore.The moment my eyes met her dark-pink eyes that looked like a pair of gems, I felt sick. Guilty. Dirty. The last time I interacted with her, was the day I took her life away. I can't let that happen again.She was, obviously, younger than I remembered. Being the same age as Ash, she's eighteen now. But she's still as beautiful now as she is in my memories of my past life, the only difference is that back there her hair was the length of her hips, while now, her curly forest-green hair is on her shoulders. She has tan skin and her eyes are big, but she's very slim and tall.Well, at least she's half a head taller than me. Though she's still
MY PLAN WAS MADE AND I HAD TO TAKE ACTION, so I sent a letter to her and asked her to drink some tea with me to reminisce about our time together when Asher was still alive. As I predicted, she agreed to it and we decided to meet in the inner garden of the Nicholai Manor in Theolia, once it was my and Dalilah's new main house. Now that our older brother took over the Nicholai Palace in the north, for himself, as the new Grand Duke and patriarch of House Nicholai. Taking Angel Dawson, the 3rd daughter of Baroness Noelle Dawson, with him as his soon-to-be wife and as the next Grand Duchess. Not to say that she's a year younger than both me and my twin.Furthermore, I always hated that spoiled girl, who was the total opposite of the beautiful meaning of her name. Although I tolerated her because she was, Goddess-knows-how, friends with my sister, I couldn't bear to live in the same place as that bitch. Moreover, Dalilah requested me to be on her side and I was happy to be of help to my
"GODDESS ABOVE, PRINCESS, I CAN NOT ACCEPT THIS, it's way too much money. More than my store is worth it!" Mr. George exclaimed, shocked. "Half of this would be more than necessary to buy everything, invest in the store, and repair this place," damn, he's denying the money? That's a first.I push the bag back at him when he tried to give it back to me. "Take the money, Mr. George! It will be necessary, believe me. Plus, I have a suggestion as to what you can do with all this," he was open to hearing me but didn't seem that willing to accept the money."What do you have in mind, Your Highness?" I don't quite like to be called that way, but I'll bear with it."Repair this place and turn the whole building into your house. Build a basement to work on. Then buy the two neighboring houses on the right and left, so you can rent them and win more money. About your store, with this," I pointed to the bag. "You have enough money to buy a new place to work downtown, where you will have more
"DO YOU HAVE ANY BAD INTENTIONS towards my dad or me, Princess?" Her voice was a little shaky to ask that."Not at all. I just want the best for you and myself. And I need this to be extremely confidential, otherwise, if my family were to know, they would try to take this business from me. Moreover, no one can know that I'm your investor, or you guys would also become targets for my enemies, and I can't afford anything like that happening." Suddenly, I felt as if someone had taken an invisible weight off my back. And I could breathe again.Hands held me by the shoulders and made me get up and sit on the couch. "I'm sorry for all of this, Your Highness. I just needed to be sure, after Theo told me to be careful around you," ugh, of course."Please, don't even speak of that annoying brat in front of me!"And that, to my dismay, got the kid curious. "Why? Do you hate uncle Theo?"I tried to close my mouth with my hands, but it was useless. "I don't hate him. I hate the fact that I'm
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEO SAID TO YOU, BUT don't get so mad at him, Lady Hana, he probably didn't mean any harm." My ass he didn't, that's literally what he meant. And he's name is Theo, hm.Breathing heavily, I let my golden eyes meet his dark green eyes that reminded me of the leaves of the trees in the tropical forest located in the Mage's Tower, I once went back in my past life. It was calming. "So that brat's name is Theo, hm." He smiled at me when he saw how angry I still was."Do you perhaps, fancy him, ma'am?" That made me gasp hard."Pardon me?""I just asked that because of the effect he seems to have caused in you, ma'am. Your face, for example, is red like a strawberry, and-""No! Don't say anything!" After three whole minutes in pure silence, I closed my eyes and finally succeed in steading my heartbeat and breath. "Listen, Mr. George, with all due respect, but not even if there was only the two of us in the world, I wouldn't fancy an ignorant and dangerous brute like
"I ASKED FOR AN INFORMANT OF MINE, TO look after the best jewelry store, hidden from the people's eyes. And then I learned about you!" Again, he blushed and I sensed the aura finally coming closer to us. My heartbeat got faster and I put my hands on Kallisto, my thin sword. Clenching my jaw.Mr. Kevin George seemed surprised by my reaction. "So you are a sharp one, hm, kid. If you can sense my friend from where he is standing." I stared at him."Who is he?" I more demanded than asked, and he again was a little startled by my voice."Why don't you ask that to me?" I heard his voice before I saw his face, and it was deeper than the ocean, making goosebumps spread down my spine again. And when I turned to see him, my heart skipped a bit.Not because of his unworldly beauty, beautiful physique, or because he was also taller than me. But because of his eyes.Ruby-red eyes.And he seemed just as startled to see me. Does he know me? No… that can't be if I'm using a disguise. It can't b
"NATASHA, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING trying to stop us from entering?" Asher questioned, but thankfully his voice was low enough for only the three of us to hear. I bit my lips trying to hold my temper and turned to him."I don't know who this Natasha might be, my name is Hana, Sir Arthur!" He seemed confused for a slight second but then he understood the meaning behind my words.See? This happened because he didn't pay attention to what I told him. Although Kate seemed to get that better than him. "Why are you rushing to enter first, my Lady?" She asked politely in an accent more common from the western Kingdoms located on the Breaslain Continent.Damn, she's smarter than I give her credit. Kate must have learned their accent in the north because there are some people there who speak like that. Now we can say that I'm a lady from one of the territories located on the Breaslain Continent, who's visiting the capital. She thought that better than me I did, I must say.And thank
"WELL, I WENT AFTER A TRUSTFUL INFORMANT and the person told me about all of it," at least, I could come up with a lie beforehand. "And no! I can not tell you who is it," I declared when Asher was about to say something."But if this crafter is so capable like you said, why isn't he famous?" He pointed, suspiciously. Pfft, he must be getting annoyed at this point."Do you think that he can be famous for having a jewelry store in a bad state and located on the outskirts of Theolia?" They understood my point.The answer was no, of course."Still, do you think those jewels he craft are indeed able to block any type of mind magic, Princess?" Kate questioned, skeptical.I can't tell them that I know how effective they are because I come from the future. And even if I said that they wouldn't believe me anyway. Then I just have to use the power of my word as a Princess this time. "I do! And I believe they are. So, if you guys have any trust in me, you will also believe it, okay?!" Sighi
I STARED AT HIM ANNOYED, "Did you only pay attention to that part, dumbass?""Come on, Nat, you have to agree with me that this name is ridiculous. And why repeat the 'Beats' three times? What's the meaning behind that name? And why name a jewelry store, of all places, like that?" I do agree with him and I confess that I thought the same when I first heard it, but there's no way I'm going to tell him that.Rolling my eyes, I explained to him, "The owner has a little daughter who's still a kid. She named the place and for loving her, he let it be like this. Try not to judge such a thing that easily like that, Ash," kind of hypocritical for me to say that when I did the same. But no one has to know."Okay, I won't do it again. I mean… I'll try. But I still don't think I'll be able to say this name and still take myself seriously. It's too-""Childish," Kate blurted. "As it should be if it was a child who named it. Besides, I think is rather adorable that he didn't deny or threw away
First TimelineNatasha Nicholai's point of view※THIS WILL BE THE DAY I'LL DIE!I wish I was joking, but, unfortunately, I am not. And well, there isn't much I can do about all of this. There isn't, literally, anything I could do. Not without my arms, nor my legs or tongue. They cut everything.At least they didn't cut my head off, yet.But it will happen today, though!I'm not going to lie by saying that I'm in this situation for nothing. I'm not gonna say that I didn't do anything to be here. Because I did! I'm not, one hundred percent, the victim.I am a villainess, after all. I know every single vicious thing I did.I remember every single person I killed. Every single thing I stole and all the lies I've told. But I don't regret it.There's a reason for everything I did. Of course, there is! I did it for my sister. My sweet younger twin sister, Dalilah. All I did was for her.Okay... Almost everything. The last thing I did, which made me end up here, wasn't for her. It...
