As soon as I was born, I remembered my past life.
My name was Shimizu Arisu. I was a loner and an
otaku. I was a loner because my parents despised
me for being useless and had no friends. And so I
earned money myself and started to live apart
from my family in an apartment building. I'm an
otaku because I watch anime and read manga.
One day, I returned home after work. I spent time
listening to music on my computer, while drawing
on the tablet. My hobby was being a graphic
artist, who draws characters. I wore my
headphones as to not disturb others. Because of
this, a fire accident occurred. I didn't hear the
alarm because it was broken. Before I knew it, I
died being suffocated in the room. I thought,
"Ah... I have a lot of things to do. I need to submit
my graphic manga application. I also need to hide
my money so that my parents don't find them. I
know they will be greedy and spend my hard-
earned money." My eyes closed. Then, I woke up
and thought, "Aren't I'm dead from the fire? How
come I'm still alive?" My eyes opened, and
someone appears before me and said, "Hello, I'm
your mother. Your name will be Alicia. Nice to
meet you," and she smiled. Thinking to myself, I was fascinated and thought that I reincarnated in
this life. And so, my new life begins now.
Chapter 2
Back to myself, I'm Shimizu Arisu a.k.a Alicia in this life. As a grown woman in the inside, it's embarrassing being a baby. Currently, I'm being taken care of by my mother and the maids in the church. My mother is Cynthia Brown. I have learned that my mother is a mistress of a nobleman who was sent away. I take after my mother's maiden last name and become Alicia Brown. My mother and the maids have been good to me. I ate good food and play with people. I was happy. But this peaceful life ended as my mother became sickly and frail. Half a month has passed. As I visited her, I saw my mother laying on her bed. My mother told me that she loves me and gave me her necklace as a memento. I cried wanting to stay by her side, but she said, "Don't worry, your father will help us." After I cried, I fell into deep sleep. When I woke up, she had died and I cried endlessly and fell asleep again. Her funeral and grave was made outside of the church. Thinking of her, I thought that as a baby, I couldn't do anything for her and wished she is in heaven. And so Fourteen years has passed. I am now 14 years old, almost an adult.
In this life, an adult age is 15 years old. My coming-of-age ceremony is near. The coming-of-age ceremony is where children are gathered to signify themselves as an adult. Children and their parents attend in a parade and come celebrate. Thinking back to my mother, I visit her grave and felt sad being lonely being without her. I tell her that I'm being good and about my life so far. I tell her that I learned how to read and write different languages. I know how to take care of myself with my chores, cooking, and sewing. After reminiscing my memories, I looked at myself in the mirror thinking I take after my mother. I have blonde hair and green eyes. I look pretty. I pumped myself up saying that I will lead a peaceful and stable life.
A few days later, a group of people came to the church. I wonder who are they and I took a peek. The people at the church looked worried and the other children also stayed inside. As I took a peek, I saw a group of knights and a royal carriage. The maids who took care of me hurriedly went to them and said, "Welcome, Your Majesty. Glory to the Empire." The man inside the carriage came outside and told them to get up. A maid saw me and dragged me out, saying to greet my father. A man I didn't know, a man who appear before me, is my father, I questioned myself. The man stood before me and greeted me with care. He hugged me saying, "I'm sorry for leaving you and your mother here. I didn't have time. Will you forgive me and call me Father?" Tears rushed down my cheeks, knowing to forgive my father. I called him, "Father, welcome back" and he smiled back at me. A few minutes later, he asked me how I'm doing and visited my mother's grave. He told me about my real identity, Alicia Ross, a royal princess of King Ross. He asked me to live with him and I agreed. Before I left, I said my farewell to the people at the church and to my mother's grave. My maids and I went on the second carriage to go to the royal palace.

history. Though my mother is his mistress, she
was most loved by my father. Because of that, his
wife was jealous and almost kill her. Father
explained to me that he had no choice to sent my
mother away to safety. I was happy to know how
much my mother is loved by my father. I also
learned that there is magic in this world. He told
me that when we get to the palace, I will do a
magic aptitude test.
A few hours later, we arrived to the Royal Palace.
My father held my hands and told me it's okay.
Thinking that I'm safe with him, the door opened.
Maids and butlers stood and bowed before us,
ceilings and floors sparkling clean I was
fascinated and smiled brightly. A woman voiced,
"Are you back, dear. By the way, who is that young
lady you're holding on to?" The woman glared at
me and chills ran down my spine. My father
exclaimed, "This is my daughter, Alicia Ross. She is
the daughter of Cynthia Brown. She will be living
here now, as the part of the royal family. I won't
let anything happen to her from now on." The
woman talked back at him, saying "There is no In the big room, there is a orb on the cushion. He
tells me to touch it to take the magic aptitude
test. There are six attributes of magic: Fire, Wind,
Water, Earth, Light, Darkness. I listened to my
father and touched it. The orb shined, displaying
five different colors: red, green, blue, brown
yellow, black. My father felt happy for me being
able to use all attributes of magic. He says,
"YOul
will begin your studies and magic training." I was
thrilled, knowing that my father is on my side.
Night fell, my father told me I could sleep in my
mother's room. My father took me to a tall tower.
I looked inside and saw that it's clean. Though it
looked cramped, it was enough for me to stay. I
was happy because I'm still not used to
extravagant or fancy rooms. My father told me,
"Good Night and Sweet Dreams Tonight" and left.
I also send the same message back to him. I was
tired for the whole day and fell asleep.
