Chapter 1

This is ridiculous! I got reincarnated into a reincarnation novel as the OG female lead clara Loreali who is actually a villainess? Apparently I did!

Now I'm stuck in this body that can't even move properly! Why did it have to be me?! No, the better question is how. Because in these type of stories, it's always a middle-aged Korean/Japanese/Chinese mistreated orphan woman. While I am Asian, I'm not from East Asia. I'm not even an adult for god’s sake! And I'm definitely not an orphan.

Am I...dead? I don't think I'm able to go back. But.... I don't want to be here. Why can't I go back? Why did it have to be me?! Why?!

I guess babies can't handle this much pressure. I think that's why I started crying. The sound echoed through the huge room with marble walls adorned with sapphires and silver decorations. The crib I was placed in started shaking a bit.

In a moments notice, a tall, slender, silver haired woman who looks like she's in her late twenties barged in, her face filled with worry and her steps hurried but graceful. She came closer to the crib and took Clara up in her hands. The lady started to gently sing her a lullaby

"Come stop your crying

it will be alright

just take my hand

Hold it tight

I will protect you-

---------"

I was scared. Terriffied even. But the moment I saw those eyes, the ones with kindness flooding them,and that voice sweeter that honey, for some reason, all my worries started to fade.

Why? I don't know. But seeing her, i felt reassured.

Who is she? She's so beautiful. I like her voice

It felt so comforting and i slowly dozed off. When i woke up, the first thing I saw where those eyes. I also felt like i was being slowly patted.

"Aah- Aaahgoo-" i tried to ask who she was but all that that came out of my mouth was a few baby babbles.

"oh my, did i wake you? Im sorry Clara" the woman said

Clara. That was the first time someone called me by my name. The maids call me 'little miss' or 'little lady'

Only 2 people in this duchy can call me that. So...is this lady....my mom?

That's weird. In reincarnation stories, the mother is usually...... Dead.

I hope she doesn't die. She seems so nice. I don't know her exact personality, but i know at least that. Her name......what was it again-

BANG

just then, the extremely fabulous door was slammed open - again.

Just what is their problem with opening the door normally?😑

"CLARA! ARE YOU OKAY?! I HEARD MY BABY CRIED! DON'T WORRY, DEAR! DADDY WILL-oof"

A man with purple hair barged in , in his very noisy fashion.

One moment he was screaming and the next, he lost his balance, having a pillow with surprising force thrown at him by the lady

After screaming his head off, that pillow was deserved. Way to go mom!- no wait, she isn't my real mom.

The man who's obviously my father got up slowly "ouch- chloeeee whyyyy--" he whined

"Dont scream like that when Clara is here" the woman, that we now know is Chloe, says.

Oh, mom- I mean the lady's name is Chloe. Great timing, old man

The man stepped closer to me menacingly, his eyes were jet black.He's calm with mom, but I'm scared. He's scary.

"aaah- AAAAH( sniffle) waaaah-" I started bawling my eyes out.

curse this stupid body. Aaah- dammnit! Go away! i only want the nice lady here!

My crying had already startled the couple, but then when i started crying louder, they started panicking.

"What did you DO?!" mom said with gritted teeth as she pushed father's face away from me. She pulled me into her hands and started cradling me while slowly patting my back.

"Is my clara hungry?" she said softly with a gentle smile.

My father came near with a worried expression. "C-Clara....Daddy's sorry.." he said a bit stiff. He's so akward. Were my parents in my past life like this with me too? After all, i was their eldest.

I miss them. Mom, dad, are you okay? I....think im dead in my other life. I hope.....that they're okay. I wish i could see them again.

Ugh.

Im once again reminded of my unfortunate fate. I'll just....sleep.

And I fell asleep again, in the arms of my new mother. And I know that I'm being cruel. These people haven't done anything to me. They just love their daughter. Or who they think their daughter is. I feel.... Horrible.

So...i guess I'll be your 'daughter' for a while
