[IHTTMBW] Chapter 2

Oh, my goodness.

“Ah-ah.”

I flipped my chubby body over. It made a sound, and she glanced at me. But she turned her face away, saying, ‘Whatever.’

I felt like I had a headache.

Nobody loved me. I do not care about that anymore. That’s already what I know. The most important thing in my life is not the maid’s kindness.

Anyway, I know that while no one shows me kindness, the number two knight falls in love with me and stops to see how I am doing in the novel.

This is what I know from reading it before.

But it is futile. Because, even if that knight is on my side, he cannot beat Euphil. This is true according to the novel that I have read.

Whew!

‘Wow.’

I made a second sound, and she paid attention and came to me.

She was not kind, though; she did what she needed to do. She was so horrible that she hit a year-old baby, but she provided the meal to me.

“What’s the matter, Princess? Are you already hungry? You ate food just two hours ago. This is why you’re so chubby.”

Is my chubby body a big deal? A baby is so cute when they are plump.

I was about to explode with anger, but I held in my anger and opened my eyes wider. Then, I closed my eyes slowly, over and over.

“Neh … Neh.”

I was not hungry.

No, while I was saying it, I became hungry. Anyway, I needed to be alone to think. If she’s going to bring me food, I would have the time to be alone.

I blinked my round eyes and beamed at her, saying, ‘Ahh.’ Then, the maid instantly loosened herself. Look at her. My strategy works this time, right?

“I know, I know. In a minute. I will bring some food for you.”

Then she pinched my cheeks as if annoyed. Waaaaaaaa! I burst out crying, feeling the pain on my cheeks as she left for the kitchen.

The name of the maid is Ante.

She needed to beg for wood chunks from a guard in the palace for me here. It’s not a good thing to her that she needed to serve me here.

At first, she must have been happy because she became a maid for a princess. However, when she found out, it was like she stepped onto a mine. I felt sorry about that, but I couldn’t be sympathetic since she harassed me.

While Ante was not here, I had to think quickly.

Because...

“Here you are, princess.”

“Ahhhhhhhh.”

After eating something and now complete, you feel sleepy.

“Ahhhhhhhh.”

Oh no, I began to feel sleepy...

I fell asleep right away.

It took a long time to make a plan. I had not known that it was hard for a baby to think.

When I thought for a second, I became hungry and sleepy. There were many times when I fell asleep while turning over my body.

Is this the life of a one-year-old baby? I didn’t know everything about a baby, but suddenly, I felt pity for all babies.

Among them, I was indeed included.

This is the result of what I came up with.

I am not sure, though; it seems Euphil’s mom was also dead. Because she was called the ‘former queen’. The reason why I was abandoned was related to the queen—the only queen whom the king loved. She was dead right after she gave birth to me.

What a small-minded man. How could he think the baby killed her mother?

The king might have the same feeling about Euphil. Even though he might not have loved his mother, he might have the same sense as a baby who led his mother to her death.

The difference in age between Myrthi and Euphil is five.

Now Euphil is six.

I have always wished I’d be at an age when I could walk as soon as possible.

‘The winner in this kingdom is Euphil. Therefore, I have to make Euphil love me!’

I know that the number one knight is useless, and this palace is also useless and will eventually be abandoned. I never want the title of a bad-luck princess. All I need is a life that will continue even after I grow up.

‘I have to prepare for this.’

I made a promise to myself. I looked at a place I thought would be the palace where Euphil lived as if I wished he could feel my love.

My plan was all about this:

‘I will make Euphil love me!’

Yes. I must show my kindness to the powerful, crazy man to survive. I have to do anything for my life to continue.

I decided to pity Myrthi in the novel instead of myself. I’ve already lived out my own life once, but it was limited to 22 years.

But, my past life was time-limited.

This is so unfair. One time, I was dead at 22, and now my destiny is to die at age 19.

Pinching my cheeks, I wanted to check if this was a dream or real life. Turns out, I didn’t have to do that. The maid Ante kept pinching my cheeks and hitting my head with her hands, so there was no way for me not to know this was not a dream. It hurt.
