Before Clouie died and transmigrated in the novel, she was a mother and had a loving husband. That was what she thought until she caught her husband cheating with the man's first love. At the end of her previous life, she tried to stab that vixen. However, before she was able to do so, her husband got in between them and the knife she held went through her husband's stomach instead. In her panic, she pulled back the bloody knife and stabbed herself as well.
As she awoke in the novel's world, system 504 informed her of her passing and her second chance at life, that is if she succeeds at being recognized as this world's crown prince. She had at first appealed to the system that it was impossible as she was a woman but 504 didn't bulge and even threatened her that if she was unable to fulfill it, she will be terminated completely. Moreover, the child she left behind will lead a miserable life.
Unable to do anything about her situation, she accepted it and continued living as Princess Clouie Gwindel today. She found her previous life's situation similar to the novel's Lilia and the fact that Lilia had a similar age to the child she left behind made her treat Lilia as a very close person all the more. She will not allow Lilia and Charles to meet at all cost.
"Sheeesh, that's why I told you to leave that Lilia alone… Now, you've only got 100 points remaining" 504 complained in her head.
"No worries, 504, I'll just obtain more points as soon as possible"
That night, if one looked closely, a silhouette can be seen climbing over the wall. That figure rode a horse and arrived in a humble abode. A child from the inside peeked her eyes out and when she saw who the figure was, she immediately opened the door to the house and began shouting.
"Ohhh, Prince Karl is here! You guys, Prince Karl is here!
At the shouting, several children rushed out of the door and welcomed their very own benefactor. They were all very grateful to him as they were all orphaned children. Even though Prince Karl was close to their age, he acted as their parent figure and very much welcomed him whenever he comes.
He handed out to them some silver and gold. To which they accepted gratefully.
"Prince Karl, I wish you were the crown prince instead." A chubby five years old child stated as he watched his benefactor play with the other children. A chorus of agreement rang out among the children.
"Alright! Ten points added from each affirmation. That would be 150 points all in all." 504 gloatingly said in Clouie's head. "Only ten points? Last time, it was 50 points from each…"
"Don't be too greedy, my host. As points have been harvested from these snotty kids before, you should expect that points awarded will be lower this time. After all, harvesting too much will make the soil poorer, you should be familiar with that saying"504 responded to a grumpy Clouie.
Children are receptive by nature and when one of them saw Karl's scrunched up face, she immediately stopped what she was doing and asked him what was wrong to which he replied "Nothing, Eliza. It maybe because I'm just tired today."
Eliza, thinking that her idol is indeed very tired, told the other children to stop pestering him anymore and let him rest for now. She directed them to leave him alone in his room. Clouie was quite thankful for what that child Eliza did. Even though that child is only 8 years old, she thought how Eliza was too mature for her age. A while later, Clouie informed Eliza to tell the other children that she will go back to the palace and visit them again sometime.
