Chapter 2 - I was slapped in the face!

...

Ugh.. I'm hungry, is it almost time for dinner? Why is no one here?

I look around and notice my twin is missing.

What? Where is everyone, am I still dreaming?

.

..

...

Oh. My. God. What on earth is happening?! It's been almost an hour (I think), but is there really no one coming just to at least check what I'm doing?

*door opens*

Oh finally, wait, is that my mother? Why is she crying?

"*sobs* Sorry I'm late Bella, are you hungry? You did good not to show your weakness." the Queen says as she hugs Arabella.

What happened? I was left alone even though I'm a Princess... Ugh, I still can't accept the fact that I'm a girl now, I don't think I'll be able to get used to it anytime soon.

"Oh no, you look sick, are you that hungry?"

You look more sick than me because of your swollen eyes woman.

The Queen prepares to breastfeed Arabella.

Woah!! Stop, stop!! Aghh I can't bear to do this on my mother! At least not when I still have some man thoughts about it!

I struggle to look away from her breasts.

"Ack!" the Queen was able to put Arabella's mouth on her breast.

Nooooo!

"Ubu ubu!" Arabella still struggles to get away.

"Kyah! Stop that Bella, it tickles!" the Queen chuckles as she gently holds Arabella's nose for a moment.

I tried to breathe through my mouth but instead sucked milk from my mother's breast. After that, she immediately released her grip on my nose.

Ahh, the shame.. Delicious, I guess it's not that bad being a baby, I mean, I was formerly a man so my way of thinking is still of a man's, but I think in the future, I'll probably have the mindset of a woman, and fall in love with a man..

The thought made me shivered and so I decided to not think too far yet.

...

A few years later.

I am now able to walk on my own, I remember the first time I was able to do it. All the people who witnessed it were causing quite a ruckus that the palace guards rushed in to the room. However, my brother Alex, was also able to do so after a few minutes. Since then, it's always been that way, I don't know if I should be pissed or not but, whatever I am able to do, he is also able to do it, always a few minutes later than me.

He was never able to learn something ahead of me. According to the maids, I was also born a few minutes earlier than him, when I first heard that, I can't help but think.. If only he was born earlier, I would probably be reincarnated as him and I don't have to act girlish and wear such frilly dresses. Well, it's not like I hate myself for being born a princess. I've always loved watching cute and beautiful women dress up, and sometimes I even imagine them wearing cosplay stuff, although it's highly unlikely that they have those here. Now that I'm a girl, I can't wait to dress myself up hehe.

"Sis!"

I see Alex waving at me while running towards me. Seriously, he is so attached to me, just like a puppy eagerly following his master, but I've got to say, he and I really looks the same, from our golden hair, sky-colored eyes, the way we are so fair-skinned, and even down to our height, which will probably change when we grow up but other than that, we really look the same. I guess this is what having a twin means.

"Alex, don't run like that in the hallways! You are a prince, so you should act like one!"

"Uu~ Sorry sis." Alex looks down.

Uh-oh, did I go too far?

"So sis, where are you going?" Alex cheerfully asked.

.. That was a quick transition.

"I'm going to visit Mother. Would you like to come with me?"

"Mm!" Alex nods.

As we are heading towards my Mother's room, a man stood in front of us.

We looked at each other for a while, and I noticed one thing. He is disgustingly handsome. His silver hair along with his ruby eyes. If I was a 'real' girl, I'll probably fall head over heels with this guy, but enough of that, this guy dared to block me, a PRINCESS! ... Just kidding haha, I'm a benevolent and forgiving soul, I shall ask him nicely to give way.

"Excuse me, but could you move asi–"

As I was about to finish what I was saying, I was interrupted by Alex.

"Father!" Alex bows in respect.

"Eh?" I uttered then look back to the person in front of me, he looks like he is ready to kill me now at any moment.

I never met my father, the King.. until now. Now that I think about it, I once heard that a Prince or a Princess having ruby eyes on their coming-of-age means that he or she is eligible to inherit the throne, and on rare occurences, when they are born with a silver hair, they automatically become the next in line for the throne.

I nervously bow down while gracefully holding my dress, hehe, I know how to act like a Princess because of what I've seen in TV dramas before.

...

The next thing I knew, I am laying on the floor while there's a stinging and cold sensation on my left cheek. I see Alex hugging me and my Mother carefully supporting my head. Both of them are crying, while the maids are panicking on what to do.

"Mother, Alex? What happened?" I caress my cheek, and felt another stinging sensation.

"Ow!" I look at my hand and see blood.

"*sobs* I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, my little Princess." the Queen kept on crying while hugging both of her children.

"*sobs* Sis, please.. please don't die. Waaah!" Alex bawls his eyes out.

...

A few weeks later.

I still feel my wound on my cheek. Apparently, the fucking King of psychos slapped me so hard that I fainted right after. Who in their right mind would slap a child so hard like that, much less their own daughter?! Ahh, I would've sued that bastard if this was my previous world! I am starting to accept my life as a girl and this happens, how would I be able to dress myself up if my face is ruined because of him?! Well, because of that, I came to learn that magic exists in this world, without that, I don't think my face will be fixed after that, but he also used magic reinforcement when he slapped me, that's why even though my cheek looks normal, I still feel the pain.

Afterwards, I came to know the reason why he slapped me. Not because I made a mistake in front of him, but much more simple. He simply didn't like me having the same face as him. I also came to know why I've been left alone in a room few years ago when I was still a baby, and why my mother was crying back then. The bastard gave an order to leave me alone that time, and that if I only cried, I will be then given permission to eat, *ehem* drink milk from... yeah. However, an hour passed and I was still not crying, so my mother got very worried and disobeyed the order of the bastard. After feeding me, she was apparently sent to the dungeon to rethink the decisions that she made back then.
