"Would your highness like a closer look?" Maya speaks, in a hush voice, sharp and filled with hatred.
Innocent Violetta doesn't notice and nonchalantly responds, "What are you talking about? It's too dangerous…"
"Yes, it is dangerous!" Maya shouts, pushing Violetta off the cliff.
Violetta lands with a thud, her arm pierces with pain. Luckily the cliff isn't too high, not high enough for Violetta to die, but high enough for her to be unable to climb back up.
"HAHAHA! You should just go DIE! How dare you even think about marrying my handsome Emperor! You slut shouldn't even be able to lay your eyes on him! How dare you covet!" Maya laughs hysterically, crazily.
Violetta stares up, bewildered.
The first thought that entered her mind was, 'I've read a bit about these people… they're beyond anyone's abilities.'
She holds her injured arm wincing in pain.
'Wait a minute... huh? How come? I'm not dead? Isn't the forest too filled with mana that I'll die the moment I step in?'
Meanwhile, Maya's still screeching on, "...HAHA You'll just be fed to a pack of wild beasts! That's more like it!"
Violetta ignores the girl beyond hope of saving and trudges in the forest curiously. 'It's not like what they said… I didn't die?' Holding her injured arm, she walks into the forest. The beasts stare at her blankly without a shred of murder intent. Some even walk away nonchalantly. 'It looks like the fact about aggressive beasts is also a lie…'
A certain Claude on the tree whistles quietly, "Interesting…"
His cold beautiful eyes lay itself on the curious golden haired princess. 'I wonder if curiosity will kill the cat…' he thinks amused, yet also without a shred of care.
Violetta finally reaches the core of her curiosity and excitement: the Spirit Tree. She reaches out and touches a beautiful translucent leaf of the spirit tree.
"AH!" she lets out a cry as mana flows into her body, causing her to collapse and fall unconscious.

A 24th century genius girl named Meng Xiang, she became head doctor of a famous hospital at the age of twenty five. Faced with intense pressure and the hatred of many other doctors who covet her position; some even sent assassins to assassinate her at night. However, with her skills, she is unbeatable by just those assassins. She has memorized all the acupuncture points and veins for fatal attacks. Her stealth skills on par with a master thief. Anyone could tell she is not one to be messed with.
If plan one doesn't work, then plan two:
Doctors push forth themselves, or their sons, trying to seek attention and conquer her heart. This quite saddened Meng Xiang, as she condescendingly could see through all of their schemes. She doesn't even need to use any debating skills at court, as the facts are already laid there withall evidence pointing at the culprit.
One day, she meets a handsome CEO, one with high regard and reputation. She fell in love and followed him, thinking 'it'll be alright. There isn't any way he should try to gain from me anyways, since he already has the status and power others are trying to get from me.' The man was also in love with her, who is bold and proud, intelligent and beautiful…
They were a happy couple on the outside but on the inside… the man started to change… he started to find it disgusting that she was doing surgery on naked men, seeing the bodies of other men that weren't him.
He became jealous and wanted her to become jealous too. He played around with many prostitutes, even in front of her eyes, showing her no respect for her position as his wife.
Eventually, she became livid and filed a divorce form. He was surprised and panicked. He took the form back, shredded it, captured her, tied her down, and never let her leave his side again.
Meng Xiang's freedom… and more were... stripped away from her by a man who didn't hold an ounce of respect for her. Of course she tried to fight back, but who knew he would hire international top assassins and guards 'just for her' (*rolls eyes sarcastically).
As there is a thin line between love and hate, there is also a thin line between love and obsession. Love is not a total obsession. He went overboard, obsessed. There isn't even an ounce of love for him left in her heart. As she never gave up escaping and resisting, she was always captured, sent back, and tortured by the psychotically crazy CEO. Of course all of this was done underhand. No one knew except the two of them and a couple of shady people.
Finally, unable to contain her hatred anymore, she finds a chance and feeds herself a painless suicidal pill she stole from an assassin and jumps into a fire, burning her body away along with it, not leaving a trace of herself left for the CEO to violate.
---------------------
Violetta heaves a great sigh as tears of anger and sadness drip down her face. 'That… is my past life?' she realizes as the memories continue into when she was a baby.
After intaking, she reviews the story and immediately bursts with anger. Her red cheeks puff up and her veins feel as if they would pop. However, as a quiet and mellow princess, she doesn't have the voice to yell, so she can only scream in her heart. 'Damn WT* I SHOULD'VE DONE THAT WAY SOONER.' She adds another paragraph of ranting and cursing that she learnt from her past life.
The wind suddenly rustles, as if it is trying to calm this princess. Violetta allows the wind to flow through her hair, taking the moment to calm down. Immediately after gaining her rationality, she starts to regret shedding tears. 'That was a great waste of tears.'
Her personality also starts to reform, as if she renewed her existence. Analyzing herself, Violetta, the new Violetta, sighs, 'Damn, I'm so stupid after being reborn, without a shred of street smarts, bruh. I should have known once Maya decided to accompany me that she would do that. It was too suspicious, since she never really liked me anyways. Leopold is also pushing me into a hellhole. Jun Empire seems like a nice place to live and all but it's a war place of concubines especially because of Emperor Damien's looks and all…' She sighs.
Suddenly, her ears perk up, as she realizes something from the combatant skills from her past life. A small sound of breathing and a leg silently swishing in the air.
