"You left out many details throughout your story, you have so many memories with the one you loved so you choose to live in past ignoring the present, the only thing I don't understand is why bother to say all these to me if you don't want to reveal anything" Yanli's response made him laugh out loud,
"You are not at all interested in the details of my story, do you?" he asked to hope to get an expected answer but got an unexpected one instead
"I don't understand how all these emotions and relations are supposed to work, I have once heard one should not expect anything in return after it is given" Yanli turned her head towards the breeze and continued
"You said your story to me but I expect nothing from that"
He said nothing to her just looked at her calmly, there is a trace of concern and sympathy in his eyes while looking at her, the air around them filled with awkwardness
After what felt like an eternity, he asked her "I was instructed to send you to your next life, but I want to ask you something"
"What is it?"
"You have to completely leave everything that belongs to you here before taking the next step are you ready for that?" he asked her with worry
That meant she has to die in order to get a second chance, indirectly it meant she has to run away from what she is facing for some unknown future, in any case, it doesn't make sense, Yanli didn't know how to reply, she got torn by the choices and options Infront of her,
She can reject if she wants but the courage to face that past is what she lacks, the future is uncertain regardless of her decision, Yanli took a deep breath
"I am ready"
A white light flashed in front of her she felt herself losing consciousness when she heard him say "I hope you find what you lack my dear child"
Yanli opened her eyes she was in a running carriage, she can hear horses running, sharp pain with a bunch of memories came to her, the body she transmigrated is so frail, because of that she fainted from pain,
ESTELLE NIENTE SALVATORE, is the name of the person she transmigrated, 10 years back Estelle was a daughter of a nouveau riche family, she was the eldest daughter and an outcast of the family, the world she transmigrated has mana and magic ability in the world,
People are recognized in three types in this world one with mana ability and one with the magic ability and the others are the people who don't have both and are common citizens,
The origin of people with mana was called divine power users and also students of the temple worship the legendary white dragon who is the symbol of peace, using the powers of mana cannot be learned.
The origin of magic is the black dragon and symbol of war, magic users are the royals and nobles, unlike mana, magic can be learned and nurtured so every kingdom has a special squad of knights who can use sword and magic
The kingdom Estella was in, is the kingdom of Zyon, When Estella was 10 years old, she was tested for both mana and magic powers, and the result was negative, due to that she was outcasted by her family during that time the king was searching for the lady in waiting's for his sick daughter the 6th princess of the kingdom who was a rare mana user and ended up choosing Estelle,
later she was abused and humiliated by the princess at every chance, she was forced to study as a proxy for the princess, her family ignored her struggle and when she was 16 years old the king was impressed with her academic performance and wanted to adopt her as his daughter in the advice of the grand Chamberlin, that was the start of the misery in her life
Her family happily agreed to the suggestions the king proposed, at that time Estelle asked to give her a different surname of her own choice meaning that she will completely cut ties with her family if she becomes the princess, what surprised her was that her family has no complaints or any regards for her,
The king granted her wish along with a name which made her a princess in a name and a well-known chess piece to the royals and nobles, Salvatore meaning Savior is the name Estelle asked for, and the middle name given to her as the princess was Niente meaning nothing
Thus, the name Estelle Niente Salvatore made a huge uproar in the kingdom, the rumors of the princess who has no power and was a well-educated proxy have made her debutante in the social community, her coronation was done at the morning court, unlike other princess coronation which should be held for half a month.
Estelle knows everything about what happened to her and how her name was used as the grand Chamberlin made sure of it, she knows everything as he made her the front-line audience for his every cunning scheme, she was his perfect puppet with all the emotions, after her coronation as a princess, the grand Chamberlin and the prophet of the kingdom executed their main plan.
A plan to create a mana and magic-user, unauthorized human experiment for that plan they gave up countless lives of the commoners before reaching a conclusion they almost succeeded in their plan but the person short-lived, Estelle was thrown into a cave filled with mana and magic stones with cuts on every main vein on her body, she was fed with absorption potion for 6 years for this experiment.
Because of the absorption potion in her body, her blood was stimulated by the mana and magic powers, the clash of mana and magic in her body gave her unbearable pain, every time the clash happens her screams echoed through the cave, her body was unable to manage the pain and her mental and physical health were internally damaged and she went into a coma.
During that time, the Dragao kingdom waged war against several kingdoms and has successfully conquered many kingdoms now in the present the war between the Zyon kingdom and the Dragao kingdom resulted in a huge blood bath as the Zyon kingdom gave up the border areas and strengthened their internal areas while sacrificing their people.
To stop the war Zyon kingdom proposed to send their princess as the peace treaty for which the Dragao kingdom agreed, the princess that was sent is the chess piece nurtured by the grand Chamberlin Estelle Niente Salvatore, who was died during her journey to the Dragao kingdom, this is all the information Yanli got according to the system and memories of the original body.
Yanli entered her system space to adjust her thoughts on the present situation, but shocked to see the original Estelle soul waiting for her Yanli was flustered and fidget not knowing what to do, Estelle approached her and placed her hands on Yanli's and asked "can you do me a favor?"
"yes" Yanli replied
"don't live like me, do whatever you want, follow your heart, never bend to any will forcefully that's how I wanted to live, and please remember me as ESTRELA"
Yanli looked at her vanishing figure "I will Estrela"
Yanli's thought process was in a mess when she suddenly woke up with screams, the maid who was appointed to travel with her is now shivering while clutching her mouth looking outside the window, Yanli straightened her body and looked out of the window, she couldn't believe what she saw, dead bodies were discarded everywhere, the land is covered with blood, some of the knight's bodies were hung on the gate, people were frantically trying to escape
Her eyes burned red, her thoughts were interrupted with another scream, the maid pointing her finger towards Estelle in shock "y-you...h-how did you woke up" she hurriedly informed the Knights about her, after some time the carriage was stopped and the Knights were looking at her in disbelief.
The captain of the Knights Sir Gilton whom Estelle knows appeared in front of her and explained the situation to her, she nodded her head in understanding, and the maid handed her the water and explained it to her.
"my lady I am Silvia I was serving you for the past 2 months"
A sudden rustling sound came from the bushes, alerted knights stood with their swords around Estelle, two children in their teens stood before them with swords, the knights took charge and tied both of them, the captain sir Gilton interrogated them.
Those two teens were the people who escaped from the border of the Zyon kingdom and turned into robbers for food, Estelle gave a chuckle as she listened to them "how far are we from the kingdom of Dragao"
