Chapter 2: The Emperor and Empress.
''Where am I?"
The girl questioned herself as she tried feeling her limbs or even tried opening up her eyes. She can feel her body is wrapped up in soft fabric, she can also breathe but her hearing and sight.
''It seems that I can only talk to myself for now..."
"Prinsesa nano konomi wa ulch?"
There was a sudden voice but Ami wasn't familiar with it.
A new kind of language she hasn't heard before-
The maids taking care of the newborn princess to where they spoke Morfinian worried about the child in their arms. "Hardej kang prinsesa, hari war impro uten."
It seems that the kingdom she was in is in a state of worry.
Losing their Empress and their Emperor being away in preparation for the war which is said to last for five years of bloodbath and death.
With the revival of the Demon Queen and her warning to the human kingdoms that they will not stand by and do nothing after all the abuse and mistreatment to which they've suffered, finally they've revealed their fangs fighting humans.
"I wish I could see... or better yet at least understand what they are saying... but the world I could only manage to grasp was princess and war."
The card to which God has foretold, an Ice Empress buried with the curse of Winter. The life she has now was not earned, forced upon to live as the God's plaything she suddenly snapped.
"That no good little- #@%#R@^&!"
She began cursing out but it all were translated to become cries of a little baby.
"!!!"
"Miruko dat!"
The other maid ordered her co-worker to hurry up and get the milk, thinking that the princess is getting hungry hence why of her crying state but little did they know she was cursing out the god who has put her in such a state.
"Baba? Miruku?" One of the maids tried giving her a bottle but the reincarnated girl refused her offer.
"Hmm..." It was the nurse maid's turn to try, she lifts up her uniform to reveal her breasts, and thus she asks the baby once more if she would like some milk even offering her breast to not be shy and suck on it.
"Grrr...!"
The reincarnated girl did not like it, but eventually she got hungry in the afternoon and went with the bottled milk instead of the assigned nurse maid.
They all wondered why the princess' brows were furrowed so sharply, they thought she was angry at the two caretakers.
...
In the peaks of royalty, a child being born from the royal family and at the brink of war.
They will leave a ruler or an heir, choosing who will be their next leader and who they will serve. That is only if there are multiple children in royalty.
With the current ruler- the emperor, helping the troops and military preparing the war with the demons.
The court is busy thinking of ways where they will survive for eleven months of harsh winter, trading with the other countries for ores for grain to other kingdoms.
The emperor, neglecting his duties at the palace and his own wife as well as child in order for the kingdom to be safe from the grasps of the demons who seek war.
Five months pregnant, the empress of the kingdom began feeling excited about holding her child, watching the baby grow up and become the next ruler of their kingdom.
She was the kindest empress the whole kingdom has ever known.
She often sneaks out to the city with guards and maids in tow, at times with permission from the emperor and sometimes not.
The Empress helps the poor around the city and as much donates to churches and orphanages.
Overlooking the children's education even if they did not come from royalty she established a public academy where one can learn how to read and write.
And if one is blessed with magic talent they train them in hopes they might be interested in being a part of the Royal guards or knights.
She has also helped the council on the construction of public buildings, famine problems and giving adventurers a nice time even if it's all winter around them.
The kingdom has greatly prospered gravely all because of her and the whole kingdom is excited about the new princess and surely how she will be like her own mother.
Kind, sweet and gentle.
However, on the day of her giving birth to the new princess.
She died.
It was unknown there was a traitor amongst the maids.
Giving poison to her dear majesty in her drink suffering a weak body.
She was diagnosed with maternal death after birth. Bribing the kingdom doctor and mage to hide the poisoning.
When the message reached the emperor of the death of her wife, he was devastated and angry at the heavens for what they did. Taking away his beloved when they just had a child he wished to be with his empress.
He just used this anger to fuel his rage at war.
The whole kingdom was depressed with the news.
They worshiped the Empress even at her burial... having the momentum and hearing the last wish of the queen in the letter to the people of the kingdom.
The Empress knew that she was getting sick and her chances of survival might not be high so she wrote a letter and gave it to someone she trusts.
Requesting to spread it to the people of the kingdom.
To which it contained;
My dear friends and citizens,
I wish you will not weep not at my death and please smile for a new princess is born. I will not need the tears and mourning for it will not bring me back from the grave. My princess and your future ruler will look after you and the whole kingdom. I just hope my Dearest Alastor won't mind that I'm giving him the diaper changing job instead of me.
Everyone laughed and giggled while even having tears in their eyes.
I know I won't last long so I gave this letter to my trusted council and I'll be leaving you to my little one's care, please also take care of her and your dearest emperor and my husband Alastor.
After the message, everyone fell into silence as everyone just couldn't help but cry their eyes out. She really was the greatest Empress the kingdom has ever gotten.
The palace has made it its task to always keep the princess safe.
They plan to always keep her guard at all times and not let her out of the palace.
While the people may have agreed with how they should keep the princess safe, however, they must also let her have fun and free just like the late Empress who casually visits the city and has made quite a lot of friends even if they weren't titled as nobility.
Everyone liked her because she wasn't like any noble who looks down on commoners but someone who treats them with respect.
The people hoped that the council would treat the princess right.
