In a world where there are only four Islands, the Royal family from the third island is currently in panic.
" Has our Majesty given birth to her first child yet?"
" Is it a prince like always?"
" Is her Majesty alright?"
" When will it end?"
" Is it alright? Her Majesty is still in pain from the last fight!"
" We must trust our Majesties."
Those are some of the questions and whispers that have been echoing from the outside.
For some reason, I understand what they're saying even though it's like flies in my ears. Right now, I don't know where and what is happening because everything is pitch black, not that I hate it though.
I remember the smoke-man saying that I'll reincarnate, so I must be inside my new mother's womb if I'm not mistaken.
A few moments later, a ray of light blinded me even though my eyes were still closed.
"Thy Majesty's child has been born, she's healthy and a real beauty, such angel!"
That compliment froze me! Hold on a sec.... shouldn't I be a boy if I was a guy when I died? You must be kidding, right?!.
I tried to open my eyes and...!! What a beauty!, but of course, I don't simp for just anyone, she looks very beautiful that it makes me want to avert but. . . it's enchanting, it's too much, too good looking to be exact.
" Then I shall name her Mio." the beautiful lady said as she embrace me and gave me a warm and blissful smile before offering me her . . . Food, let's just say that it's food for babies.
Well, never mind that, there's a man about his thirties near the lady, and just when I tried to reach him, he smiled at me warmly and offer me his finger. It was big compared to mine, I saw a slight blush on his cheek when I hold his finger with my whole hand.
"Can I carry him?" Asked the guy in his thirties, but of course, I know that he was my father. He has a charming appearance and you couldn't help but say that he looks like a womanizer. . .ahem, yeah, he's handsome, I wish I could have his appearance but I'm a girl now, that'll be weird.
"Fufufu, of course not." Firmly declined the beautiful lady which is obviously my mother.
Both smiled darkly and then showed their hands where water started to float in the shape of a ball. They looked at me at the same time and the water balls floating in their hands popped and disappeared. Maybe they realized that I was still there, but I really want to know what comes next.
"Fufufu, no fighting in front of Mio." said my known father.
" You're right. isn't she an angel? She undoubtedly inherited your emerald eyes" My mother complimented me and looked at my father warmly.
" Agreed, and she has your beautiful black hair." My known father said as he hold my mother's hair and sniff it, my mother flushed red because of that.
She punched him in the shoulder from being flustered.
"That's mean!, you hit me, and in front of baby Mio on top of that!" My father whined like a puppy with his ears and tail down.
" I apologize about that but you must stop being too sweet or I'll murder you once you touch another woman." my mom said with a super dark smile, I shivered. Surely, she's a Yandere.
" Hmmm, of course, right back at you." My father smiled back with the same sweet eyes and dark grin. Must be an obsessive baleful psychopath. . . probably.
"Ah! She's watching! Stop the nonsense now" mom said with a sweet and loving tone as she look at me with her shiny sapphire eyes, truly beautiful, yet deadly.
. . . . . . . . . They've been calling me "She" and "Her" I can't pretend to not notice it anymore. . . . I'm a girl. . . . . . . . . . sometimes I really don't know how to feel about reality. . .
More importantly, seems like I have myself pretty dangerous parents.
. . . . . .I wonder how my father is doing without me buying him booze, it's true that he abandoned me when I needed him the most, but it doesn't change the fact that he raised me. . . At least until I turned eight. . .
. . .
I've been sleeping, peeing, pooping, and eating my entire five years and now, I'm finally free. I have the ability to walk and go outside now!
Running is still hard for me so I just have to take it easy and walk. I arrived at the garden, and there, I saw beautiful and colorful flowers, there was a swing connected to a giant tree. A scene that I've only seen in children's books, a place that speaks to me that there's a beautiful ending awaiting me.
I looked up and saw birds, singing like the whole tree is their stage, and they were the stars that give life to this boring tree. Hearing them as I look around, I see. They were singing just for me.
" Are you singing just for me?" I asked, but the birds didn't seem to hear me. I tried my best to climb the tree but my effort was for nothing. I tried once again but the aftereffect is still the same ' This is only the beginning!'. A few minutes later and I sighed from exhaustion, soon, the birds stopped and left. " Thank you for making me hear something beautiful this early in the morning." I just hugged the tree and was about to leave when it grabbed me with its branches and took me to the top.
The view was great! It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my two entire life. There are three more islands and one of them is burning but never turns into ashes, it's a huge land! While the other is covered in high and thick mountains, it's also a huge island, and the other is full of hurricanes, it was a bit smaller than the other but the view from the top was awesome, though I wonder how can anyone live in such places...
I want to look at it more but the tree put me down like it was some sort of guilty suspect. And now that I have thought about it... ' If you could do that, why didn't you help me from the beginning?! ' I asked the tree in my mind, slightly pissed off...
My father saw me with that giant tree and quickly took me away from it, I wonder why. . .he even asked someone to put a very high fence on it, I mean, it's not like the tree will run away, right?.
" Listen Mio, never go near that tree ever again!" My father warned seriously as he pats my head before smiling warmly like he used to.
My mother walked towards us and said " Mio, that's no good, papa is only for mama, understand? Don't steal papa from mama, you are a good daughter right?" She was wearing the same enchanting smile but. . . I feel really cold chills from seeing it. She's probably thinking "Dare to steal him and you're dead meat"
Of course, like a good child, I'll say " If I can't have papa, can I have mama?"
"No!!" My father said as he hug my mother tightly, blatantly showing it to me that she is only his.
I burst into tears, acting.
My Mother got mad at my Father because of that.
Father was locked inside the castle while mom and I played together in the garden all day long, it was fun, especially from the gazes my Father is giving us from jealousy.
After a fun day, my mom and I entered back to the castle only to see father giving us dead fish eyes.
"Oho~ what's this? Begging for a beating?" My mother said to my father as she grins which shows a very excited yandere anticipating to kill her lover.
"Oh dear, my beloved wife knows me full too well, would my beloved wife be kind enough to die by my hands?" my father invited with a smile that will force you to retreat.
"Of course, but this lady here will be the one to kill her beloved husband first." mom said with a graceful smile, she signaled me to go to bed first.
I nodded and left them after a bow and a smile.
I'm currently in my room and seriously feeling bored, well, I've been bored all five years here though. The thought of wanting to go back has almost faded away, well, all thanks to my new parent's love and scary habits.
A few moments later, mom came in with a winning smile. I pretended to be asleep and she kissed me on my forehead and then sleep beside me.
She must've won once again, I wonder how my father is doing, last time they fought, father was so beaten up to pulp that he can't get out of bed for a week and a half.
Pfft, honestly, they're fun and loving, but dangerous, I want to see their battle and join their fights but I'll just probably look like a third wheel, but hey, they're my parents so who cares, right?
But, It was quite odd how there were no parties and any other events that are celebrated in this castle, the last one was when I was born, it was the first and last. Even my birthday and my parent's birthday are only celebrated by the three of us. I heard in fairy tales like these, that people party with luxurious things all over their bodies, is it because this is reality?
What's odder is how civilians are allowed to come and go inside the castle, it has no guards nor maids. The one who's cleaning is simply the one who volunteered to do so, surprisingly, there's always someone who cleaned the castle wholeheartedly.
In other words, this kingdom is Lawless, peaceful, and always in the matrix of harmony, which makes it unique and lovable. This world changed me completely that I don't want to go back to being me in the past, but of course, I'll never forget the ME at that time.
Our Kingdom and island is called Wataru which means Calm, harmony, peace, concord, serenity, It's also our last name, quite cool, huh?.
Everyone inside this land is kind and sweet, they treat each other as family even though they aren't blood-related. The only ones who can be mean and bad are the rulers, well that's not the case.
In our land that's filled with good people, one war is enough to scatter us, that's why we need a ruler like my mother and father, a responsible, strong, scary, and loving ruler, a real ruler worthy of their subjects' respect.
. . .
Fast forward to thirteen years. I'm currently eighteen.
" Some people are just like clouds, once they're gone, it's a beautiful day." My parents said as goodbye... Seriously, what a strange way to say goodbye.
It doesn't hurt because they'll be like that now but when they enter the castle, they'll bawl and wail uncontrollably... Just kidding, that's impossible and scary.
My fifteen years old younger brother Kai and twelve years old youngest brother Kian was there too, waving goodbye at me, seeing them look at me with that kind of expression... I feel warm. The warmth I've never felt when I live in a house where there's only me and my abusive father.
I waved goodbye with a smile.
. . .
I'm currently on my journey to find a . . . Husband..... It's only a must because I'll sit on the throne once I hit thirty years old, it's early, I know. But that's a lie.
Until now, I've got used to being a girl that I become a full-fledged one, but . . . Husband...? A husband...?? Do I really have to? How am I supposed to find one by visiting each land and kingdom for only one week? Besides that, I don't really think that I want one. . . But it's a must, or my parents will behead me, no joke.
