Am I going to die again?
I guess, it's only natural for me to die after killing thousands of people in my previous life.
But...
I'm only starting in this life. What did a mere six year old kid like me have done to be killed by an assassin?
Perhaps, my father got infuriated with how I always seek for his attention. He's capable of doing that as the Grand Duke of this Empire. Killing would also be nothing but a part of his life to comply with the orders.
We got quite similarities in that note. I wonder what would have happened if he knew that his daughter was a professional assassin in her previous life? Would we got along then?
Damn.
This man-- I can't breathe anymore. My face would get munched by how strong he's pressing my pillow.
"Good girl, just die quietly. My employer doesn't want anyone to know you're assassinated so stop struggling."
Aah.
So that's the reason. I was wondering why he chose to kill me this way.
Of all things he could use to kill me.
Of all ways he could kill me.
He chose this?
Dammit. What a lame way to die.
I was strangled to death by my partner in my last mission. This and that was quite similar that it infuriates me to the bone. That may be the reason why I'm only remembering the memories I got from my previous life now.
If that's the case...
Then it can't be helped.
I'm planning on dying quietly just as he have said but this is simply frickin' lame!
I died in my previous life because that's the last order I had. I didn't realized it sooner though.
There's no way I will let that happen again.
No.F*cking.Way.
We might not be as close as like some father and daughter but I know him enough to conclude that he's not the one behind this.
He holds pride more than anything so there's no way he would order to kill me in this lame manner.
I stopped struggling to get off his grip, there's no benefit from doing so. I will lose consciousness soon so starting the show now will be good.

Slowly.
Lorelei's body stopped moving.
Seconds after,
she stopped breathing either.
"This is the most easiest job I've done so far." the man let go off the pillow after checking that his subject is already dead allowing him to accomplished his mission.
"You should thanked me that you won't have to suffer in this world. I'm off."
After getting everything back to it's place, the man climbed over the window where he got in.
'The maid would be the one locking it so there shouldn't be a problem'
The man flee silently like how he entered the young lady's room without getting the attention of the guards outside.

"Heh, so you got a rat's help for this?" I opened my eyes and let myself breathe oxygen as much as I can.
Holding my breath wasn't much of a big deal but because of my current body, it took a great toll on me.
Sigh.
If I didn't regained my memories of my previous life, I would have died already. Being an assassin I guess has a merit when you're being assassinated.
I might have survived today but there's no telling what might happen to me the following days. I guess luck is in my side because I managed to fool that shithead assassin.
I formed my hand as a fist and imagined punching that shithead. "When I see you, there's no way I'll let you off again!"
I punch the pillow he used to assassinate me to pour out my madness. Oh, I almost forgot about the rat.
I got off my bed and looked on the clock. It's already one in the morning. It's only pretty normal to do assassination attempts during this time but I don't think thats the only reason here.
Hmm.
It looks like they planned it all carefully more than I thought. I should be careful with that rat. Though she's nothing but my lady-in-waiting whose avarice for nobility is far fetched.
The accomplice of that lame bastard was Isabella. Looking closely in everything she have done, her being a rat wasn't a surprise at all.
"Right. I should take care of the rats sooner."
As Lorelei, I've been living as a naive yet bright kid. People around me called my naivety as kindness. Well, that's because they're benefiting from it. More than half of my maid were making a fool out of me because I don't punish them even though they've committed crimes in front of me. I'm too engrossed with ways how to get attention from my father that I don't give a damn about anything else. Sigh. Lorelei was really the opposite life of my previous one. Now that I've regained my memories, I wonder what life will I lived this time?
I walked through my vanity and opened the third drawer. Lorelei-- erm, I really love eating fruits that at this age I already know how to peel one for myself.
"I guess I asked for this knife not only for peeling fruits?"
Looks like there are things I've done in this life that was affected by the assassin side of mine. Back then, keeping a weapon in bed was a daily routine of mine. That's the only thing that a four-year old child could do to protect herself from getting killed in a world where it's either kill or be killed.
"I'm indeed lucky in this life."
Getting assassinated in my sleep at the age of six is still lucky if I will to compare what I've suffered in my previous life.
"Yeah, there's no way I will let some random shithead kill me! I'm named Ace in my previous life after all! The Greatest Assassin of All Time's!"
Gaahd. Now that I regained my memories, hearing my cute voice sucks. And what the hell am I wearing? It's too fancy for a pajama! Letting off that shithead without a fight is the best option for me. I might have fought and killed before without an issue with my clothes. However, a body of a six-year old who didn't undergo to rigorous training at a young age for years wouldn't be able to execute such vicious moves. This body is so weak that I will be dead by now if I wasn't lucky.
Tch.
I got a lot of work to do if I want to survive in this life but I shouldn't rush things. First things first.
"Let's catch some rats!"
