"Congratulations Your Majesty, Her Highness successfully gave birth to a princess!"
The king didn't look so pleased.
"..Tch. I asked for her to give birth to a male heir, why did she give birth to such a thing!"
"Your Majesty!"
A messenger suddenly entered the room to deliver a news.
"You dare to enter without my permission?" says the king as he unsheathes his sword and point it towards the messenger.
"P-Please forgive my impudence, but I have an important news to tell Your Majesty." says the messenger as he breaks a cold sweat.
"Oh? Say it, but if it is not a news more important than what you did just now, you can expect to see your head lying there on the ground."
The messenger tries to speak up.
"H-Her Highness gave birth to the Crown Prince!"
"What? You dare lie to me, do you not fear death?!" The king readies to slice the man's head off.
"I-It's true Your Majesty! H-Her Highness gave birth to twins."
".. If that is true, then it is indeed a news worthy to be celebrated. Rejoice, you get to keep your life." The king says as he grabs a handful of gold coins from a vase and throws it away towards the direction of the messenger.
"Now, get out of my sight!"
"T-Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty. Long live the Kingdom!" The messenger leaves immediately after obtaining the gold coins.
"Take me to my Queen."
"Yes, Your Majesty."

"..!! Your Majesty." The Queen tries to stand up but the King signals her to stop.
"I just came to congratulate you for successfully giving birth to the Crown Prince."
"Your words are too much for me, Your Majesty."
*knock* *knock* *knock*
"Who is it?" says the King.
"Your Majesty, I came with both the Prince and Princess."
"You, open the door." The King commands one of the servants.
*door opens*
The room was instantly filled with chatters the moment they saw the head maid bringing in the prince and princess.
"Wow, they look the same!"
"I know right? I wonder if I'll be able to tell them apart when they grow up."
"You idiot! Obviously the princess will have longer hair, ahh I can't wait to see them grow up."
The King raised his hand signalling them to cease their chatting, immediately, the room was so silent that not even a single sound can be heard.
"Bring the Prince to me."
The King carries the Prince.
"Hmm, He looks just like me. I'll grant him the name Alexander, a fitting name for the future King. A shame that he didn't inherit my silver hair, but not all of the Kings inherit silver hair anyway."
He gives the prince back to the head maid.
"With that, I'll take my leave. Carry on with your duties."
"Y-Your Majesty, please excuse me but.. how about the Princess' name?" The Queen nervously asks the King.
".. I don't care whatever name you give to that hideous thing." the King says as he left the room.
All the people in the room were shocked to see that the King ignored the Princess and even referred to her as a 'thing'.
"Layla, bring me the Princess."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The head maid hands the Princess to the Queen.
".. From now on, your name will be Arabella." the Queen kisses her forehead.
The room was filled with a loving and gentle atmosphere.

Ha! What? What happened? .. This ceiling is unfamiliar, and quite classy if I may add.. Actually, change that into too classy. Where am I?
I try to get up but, hmm? I can't seem to get up.
I then take a look at my hands and noticed how my hands are so tiny. Just what on earth happened? Let me see..
It was just another day like any other. I woke up, ate my breakfast, and left my apartment to go to school, but on my way, I was run over by a truck because of a drunk driver..
OH SHIT! So I was reincarnated into a baby, and while retaining memories from my past life?! Isn't this too awesome? I can't help but feel this second chance in life is going to be fun (or so I thought)..
Little did I know that this was going to be the start of my suffering.
.
..
...
What is this beside me, a toy?
I stared at what I touched earlier, and when my curiousity hit its limit, I nudged it with my fingers.
It's a real baby! Is he my twin? If so, I wonder who's younger?
"Oh my!"
..Who is that, judging from her outfit, a maid? Also, from the looks of this place, I guess we're rich, like REALLY RICH. I bet even the walls can probably be sold for a high price! The maid is pretty too, her brown hair compliments her kind-looking, brown eyes very well.
"Your Highness! The Princess is awake!"
Woah! I'm from a royal family?! No wonder.. Hm? Wait a minute.. Princess?
I look at the baby beside me.
Ahh such a cute sleeping face.. sleeping? Hmm~?
The woman who was referred to as 'your highness' stood in front of the cradle.
She's so pretty, is she the Queen? My mother? Her breasts are huge.. err, never mind that. I never saw my parents in my previous world since I was an orphan, maybe that's why I'm not too bothered getting reincarnated here because I don't really have any attachments there.
"Arabella, come here." the Queen carried Arabella.
Ahh, she smells so nice, I might fall asleep again, damn this baby body! I can't even enjoy this moment.. Golden hair and light blue eyes, typical for a person from the royal family I guess? She looks so young too, I wonder how did her breasts become so huge with that slender body. Wait a minute, they mentioned I was the Princess right? Am I going to look like her when I grow up? That would feel.. really.. weird.. for me.. zzz...
I struggle against my desire to sleep but having the body of a baby, I really can't defy nature.
"Oh my, how cute." The maid giggles.
"She's so cute, too bad her father doesn't even care for her, but no matter, I'll give her so much affection to compensate for it." the Queen kisses her forehead and puts her back to the cradle.
".. I hope she'll grow to be a strong and confident woman even when I'm not here anymore." She gives a worried smile while looking at Arabella.
"Your Highness! Please don't say such saddening things."
"Fufu, I'm sorry, but if something were to happen in the future, I'll leave her to you Grace." the Queen smiles faintly.
".. Of course Your Highness! I won't let anything bad happen to both you and the babies." says Grace while trying to contain her tears.
"Thank you.. Now let's go, we don't want to wake the babies again."
"Yes, Your Highness."
