Minerva tried to put her hand on her face out of habit. But she recalled that the current her did not have any arm and wrist strength. So, she decided to recline her small body and stare at the wide ceiling.

'Wow, even the ceiling was beautiful.' She thought as she admired the pretty butterflies that were drawn on the ceiling.

'It was inclined to my taste. Not bad! Not bad!' She praised as she nodded her head. But she soon stopped as she felt dizzy.

'Seriously living inside the body of a baby was troublesome!' Minerva thought in annoyance.

"Good morning, Little Miss!" Shirley greeted as soon as she saw her.

"Baa boo ah bah!" Quick, finish the book that you read yesterday! I wanted to know what happened!

"Aww. Was our Little Miss hungry? Alright, alright let's wait for Elise, okay?" Shirley cooed as she rubbed her back.

"Woooo! Ah bah bah!" No! I want you to read the book!

Gah! It's too difficult to communicate with them!

"Okay, okay. We would eat, okay? We would eat."

'No! I didn't want to eat! I wanted you to read the book!'

"Little Miss was there something wrong?" Shirley asked worriedly when she saw that the baby threw tantrums and about to cry.

"Bah boo ah! Ah!"

"Were you perhaps uncomfortable somewhere, Little Miss?" Shirley asked worriedly as she tried to pat her back.

'No! I wanted you to read the book!'

Minerva exhaled in exasperation. This was what she hated the most! Whenever she wanted something unrelated to eating or playing, it was too difficult to communicate with them!

Nevermind. She would just ask once again if she found the book.

Seeing the Little Miss sigh like an adult, Shirley could not stop herself to giggle.

She pinched the baby's soft cheek, "Little Miss, you're so adorable!"

Minerva felt uncomfortable and tried to push her hand away. It was a good thing that Shirley did not try to pinch her cheek once more.

"Shirley, was Little Miss hungry?" Elise asked once she entered the bedroom.

"I guess so? She threw a tantrum just a while ago."

"What?! Why? What happened? Was she perhaps uncomfortable somewhere?" Elise asked with her voice full of worry.

Minerva casually listened to the two while she was still on the high chair. She did not insist to read the book anymore. Never mind, she just wanted to have something better to do other than to eat and sleep. Seriously, she was bored to death!

'I mean, this was what I want before but it was because there was internet! It was different here! I didn't even know where in the world am I!' She complained inwardly. But no matter how long Minerva would rattle, her situation did not improve even a little bit.

'At least, I was living a life of luxury. Just by the sight of the room alone, I knew that I must be from a wealthy family.' Minerva thought, 'But still, it was so boring!'

Minerva heaved a sigh. Couldn't they, at least, took her outside for a stroll? She was inside this room for four months already!

Now that she thought about it, Minerva could not believe that she lived here for four months. Until now, she still felt that this was just a figment of her imagination or just a dream. But there was also a part of her that thought that this was real. That this was her reality now.

However, it did not make any sense! How did it happen? Was she hit by truck-kun while sleeping?

Okay, that was a lame joke. She lived on the third floor of the apartment building. How could she hit by a truck?

Minerva felt her head throb from guessing. If no one could explain to her what was happening and how did this possible transmigration occur, she might lose her mind!

'I guess I need to distract myself from thinking about this.'

"It seems that Little Miss was alright now. How about we start feeding her?" Shirley proposed when she saw their Little Miss being well-behaved.

"Alright." Elise readily agreed as she nodded her head.

Minerva stayed silent and let them feed her obediently.

After the supper, she patted her full tummy. Out of habit, she glanced at the window. Ah, how she yearned to go outside.

"How about we take the Little Miss to a stroll outside?" Out of the blue, Elise suggested. Minerva hastily looked in her direction and nodded vehemently.

"Look, even the Little Miss agreed!" Elise giggled at the baby whose head had bobbed up and down.

"Little Miss was so smart! Sometimes I could feel that she understood what I was saying." Shirley said as she recalled their Little Miss actions.

"Of course she would be! She was the child of the Duke Ivrea after all." Elise said proudly like a mother hen. Shirley just shook her head as she laughed and carried their Little Miss.

"Alright, Little Miss. We would head outside now." Shirley said as she carried the child in her arms.

'Finally! I could go outside!' Minerva thought as her eyes shone from excitement.

As soon as they went outside the room, Minerva was greeted with a wide corridor. Her little mouth was wide open as she stared at how beautiful it was. The thick pillars that supported the ceiling were covered in white and gold. Even the entire floor was covered in the carpet!

'I could not believe I lived in this beautiful house–no mansion! And they even referred to me as their Little Miss!' Minerva thought as she gaped in shock while she looked around the wide corridor.

'Did it mean that this mansion was also mine?' When her thoughts reach there, she suddenly felt excited. Wow, this beautiful mansion was hers! Amazing!

"Miss Shirley, Miss Elise. May we know where you took the Little Miss?" As Minerva was distracted while she stared at the design of the corridor, a group of knights approached them.

"Sir Kevin." Shirley greeted the head of the knights, "Elise and I decided to take the Little Miss outside for a stroll. Would you mind coming with us?"

"That would be our honor," Kevin said as he sneaked a glance towards the child in Shirley's arms.

Not only Kevin but the knights behind him also sneaked a glance towards the child. This was the first time they saw their Little Miss and they were curious about how she looked like. But as they saw her in person, they inwardly nodded their heads. Truly the child of the Duke of Ivrea. She took almost the exact mold as her father!

What a pity, Her Grace was also a beauty yet the Little Miss did not look like her even just a little bit.

"Then, let's go," Elise said as she and Shirley started to walk.

Minerva curiously glanced at the knights behind them. She already guessed that she might transmigrate somewhere that was like the Middle Ages in Europe when she calmed down after a few weeks of confusion. Especially when she saw Elise, Shirley, and the other maids, as well as the interior design of the room she resided in.

But now, as she saw the real knights in person, it confirmed her speculation.

She studied each knight in her sight. While doing so, the knights tried to suppress their smiles as they found their Little Miss adorable as she stared at them with interest.

"Little Miss, look, this was your grandmother." Elise interrupted Minerva's observation of the knights.

'Huh? Grandmother?'

When Minerva heard the word 'grandmother', a figure emerged on her head. She was distracted for a moment but immediately shook her head as she tried to erase the image that she had remembered.

"Little Miss, this was your grandmother," Elise said as they stood in front of the huge painting of a beautiful woman.

Minerva's eyes almost popped out as she gawked at the beautiful woman. What?! This beautiful woman was her grandmother?! Wasn't she too beautiful?

The beautiful woman in the painting looked like in her early twenties. Her light blonde hair was in an updo bun that made her face fully exposed. Her pale blue eyes were filled with wisdom and grace. With her chin raising, she gave off an aura of a majestic queen.

"She was pretty, wasn't she?" Shirley said while staring at the painting in admiration.

Pretty? What pretty? She was majestic!

Wow! She hadn't seen someone as beautiful as her! And to think that she was her grandmother!

As they noticed that their Little Miss gawked at the painting of His Grace's mother, they could not help but to also stare at the painting of this legendary woman.

"Bah bah wah!"

Elise smiled as she gazed at the child in Shirley's arms, "Wow, Little Miss, did you recognize your grandmother? What did you think? Wasn't she beautiful?"

Minerva nodded her head. Beautiful. Extremely beautiful!

Shirley chuckled and moved forward to the painting. "Then Little Miss, how about you greet your grandmother? Say, 'Hello, Grandmother Lianna!'"

As soon as she heard her grandmother's name, Minerva stilled for a moment. Lianna? Like Princess Lianna in the book that Shirley read yesterday?

'Pfft. That was just a story, wasn't it? They just had the same name.' Minerva thought as she comforted herself. But soon, she could not comfort herself anymore.

"Your grandmother was Princess Lianna. Hadn't I read you a book yesterday, Little Miss? Your grandmother and Princess Lianna in the book were the same! Awesome, right?"

Minerva gaped in shock when Shirley dropped the bomb.

What?! They were the same person?!

Her grandmother was that badass who played the king of the Moren Empire like a fool? It was her grandmother?!

No wonder she gave off an aura of a queen! Well, she was a queen!

"You already read the book to Little Miss about His Grace and Princess Lianna?" Elise asked Shirley as she wiped the saliva that had dripped on their Little Miss' mouth.

"Of course! It would be good if the Little Miss would know about what happened to Her Highness Princess Lianna and His Grace before they reached where they were now."

"You talk as if the Little Miss would understand what you said."

As Elise and Shirley conversed, Minerva thought deeply as she tried to recall the incomplete story that Shirley read to her yesterday.

If Princess Lianna was her grandmother and the story was based on real-life, then…

"Ah? Little Miss?" Shirley asked in confusion as the child suddenly punched her shoulder.

'Right! Lorenzo!'

In the book that she read before she possibly transmigrated here, she remembered that the book started about a yellow jeweled eye kid which was named Lorenzo.

And 'coincidentally', in the book that Shirley read yesterday, it also mentioned the jeweled eye guy that was named Lorenzo!

Was there such a coincidence?

Jeweled eyes… jeweled eyes…

Right! Princess Lianna's child also had a jeweled eye!

If Princess Lianna was her grandmother, then did it meant that the child with the jeweled eye in the story was her father?

Minerva's body froze when her thoughts reach there. Father… father…

Did it mean… that she now had a father?

She had a father… she had a father…

Minerva quivered with that thought. She had a father. She now had a father! She finally had a father!

Right, it was already nighttime. Cassie would have to lull her to sleep like she always did.She yawned once again and Cassie smiled a little.Seriously, Cassie was too pretty especially when she smiled.

    "Seriously Santi, was this how you talk to your child? You talked as if she was your subordinate!" Lorenzo rebuked him as he was baffled by his friend. "What do you know? Get lost." "Wow, so much for thanks." Minerva looked at Lorenzo and to the stone that he held. She also peeked at Cassie whose lips were pursed as if she had tried to suppress her laugh. As she observed, Lorenzo, and her so-called father which was Santi, were close enough to exchange banters. But she wouldn’t expect that they would be this close. And her ‘father’ was even a bit rude to Lorenzo. ‘Well, this was the banter between friends, I guess? This was what I read in the novels.' Still, she didn't expect that they would be this close. She was already in disbelief when Lorenzo appeared and saved them. Minerva did not expect that her 'father' would ask a favor of him.

    Minerva hugged the plushie as she stared at the ceiling in her chambers. Because of what happened last night, she decided to not go outside for today. She did not want Cassie and the others to be worried. Besides, she was also afraid of what transpired. Although she looked distracted when she heard her father last night, it still wouldn't change the fact that she almost lost her life at the hands of the king’s henchmen. Even Cassie got injured. It was a good thing that Lorenzo appeared and saved them; albeit a bit late. Right, about Cassie, she heard from Shirley that she and Julia were extremely busy as they did the "clean-up" that her father mentioned. Seriously, Shirley had the gossip that she needed. If she wanted to know something, it was better to ask Shirley as she knew a lot of things. Unfortunately, she was incapable to utter coherent words as of now as she was in the body of a child. At most, she could only blabber some nonsense and pointed things i

    Santi sat on the sofa as Minerva was on his lap. Across him was Lorenzo who leisurely sipped on the tea that Julia made. On the side was Alvin, Cassie and Julia.“So, care to share what happened?” Lorenzo asked. It was obvious that he wanted to catch the news first-hand.On the other hand, Santi took the tiger plushie on the side and gave it to his daughter before he answered.“I almost shove it on his throat.” He said nonchalantly. But deep inside, he was extremely pissed by the old man. It was a good thing that he came home and his mood lightened when he saw his Little Crybaby.The truth was, they should arrive two weeks at most. Teleportation was the easiest way for the to arrive sooner but these dumb mages that were sent by the king insisted that they did not know how to teleport.

    Minerva stiffly sat on the high chair beside her father in the dining room. It was time for dinner and her father insisted that he would be the one who'll feed her. Before, it was Elise who fed her. But now, Santi declined Elise when she tried to feed her as he wanted to do it himself.Lorenzo already left. He only did so when he was filled with the gossip that he wanted. Not only that, he even shamelessly brought the cookies that Julia baked. Santi gave him a mouthful of insult before he let Lorenzo take them."Was there a particular food that Minnie liked to eat?" Santi asked the four maids who were in charge to took care of his child while he was away."Your Grace, if there was something that the Little Miss liked to eat, it would be strawberry, banana, and minced avocado with sweetened milk," Elise answered. As she was the one that was assigned on the Little Miss' food, she was the one knowledgeable the most about

    "Where did you get these books?" Minerva asked Marcus who was crouching down on the floor. Piles of books surrounded him as he reclined his back on the couch. There was a throw pillow on his lap while above it was an opened book.She didn't want to disturb Marcus. Minerva wanted to quietly sit in front of him as he looked too immerse on what he was reading. But as soon as she saw the title of the books that was piled up, words subconsciously blurted out on her mouth. And before she could react, she had already questioned him."Oh?" Marcus raised his head and looked at her, "Which of these?""Those at the back." She answered as she pointed at the four piled up thick books who obviously looked worn out."Oh. I found that inside the box at the library's storage room. It was interesting hence I took it." Marcus nonchalantly answered. As he looked at Minerva who had a complicated look at the old books, he

Minerva said in a small voice once she managed to connect the communication device to her father.Although he admonished her earlier and they already made up, Minerva still spoke carefully at her father in case that his mood hadn't dampen yet."I see. I'd talk to them later." Her father answered which made Minerva hummed. She didn't know what to say next and it seemed that her father had felt her discomfort as he sighed."I'll just finish my things first and I'd head there. Take care, okay?""Yes, dad. You too."Minerva watched as the light of the stone began to wane until it appeared to be a common rock. She placed the stone on the table and sighed."Chill out. Nothing would happen to your father.

    Minerva was looking at the window on her bedroom. She sat on the chair and leaned her body to the desk. Her right cheek rested on her right palm as she gazed outside. However, although she looked like busy admiring the chipping birds on the tree and the clear blue sky, she was actually immersed on her thought.Her father had already left after he talked to Claire and the board of directors. Although Minerva wanted to follow, her father had forbid her to do so. He also said that she didn't need to meet the board of directors when it wasn't necessary. And if they insisted, her father would make sure that they'd understand what "no" meant.Minerva couldn't help but let out a sigh. Her father didn't reprimand her for strolling around the academy. But since Zinnia hadn't returned yet and Marcus was nowhere to be found, she decided to stay here for the meantime."Minnie?" She heard Zinnia said after three consective knocks.

    Santi just got home after he talked privately with Sora. With that, he found out thoroughly what actually happened on the day that Minerva and Zinnia was attacked.He couldn't help but purse his lips. He had eyed this organization for years yet he couldn't find anything. Adira had already helped yet the results were the same. Even Winter, the Pope of the Church of Larin, secretly sent out information about this unknown organization yet they couldn't find anything at all. Worse, Sora had been unable to track those three who attacked Santi, Kristina, and Minerva while they were on the Halen Empire ten years ago.Although they hadn't found anything despite their combined efforts, Santi had a little bit of an inkling on who might behind all of these. After all, nobody in this world was capable enough on hiding away from Sora's radar unless it wasthem.If it truly wasthem just like what Santi a

    Out for Santi's courtesy, Marcus excused himself so Minerva and Santi could have a time to talk. Although the tension increased as soon as Marcus left, Minerva chose to remain silent and let her father vent out. After all, it was her fault that she didn't say a word about the incident."Minerva Chrysalis, didn't I tell you to report to me immediately if something had happened to you? We talked last night before you went to sleep, right? I asked you if something happened but you just told me that you and Zinnia went outside to stroll. Nothing more.
