Soon I returned to my dinning table. It sucked to only be liked by my father and sister. However the food was delicious. I grabbed the chocolate cake that was in front of me. I flavor came in contact with my tongue. Almost... almost I moaned from the sudden burst of flavor. Top quality food I tell you.
Suddenly a thought came into my mind. 'I wonder if system can read my mind.' I thought to myself. 'Surprisingly I can actually.' I heard systems voice say. 'You know your voice sounds familiar however I can't seem to place my finger where I've heard it before." I said. "Perhaps it's one you hear often and thus your mind automatically gave me that sound." System reasoned. I nodded my head. 'Fair point.'
"Malachi." I heard Serenity say; "Are you okay?" I looked to her and nodded my head. "I'm fine. Why do you ask?" I replied. She smiled. "Nothing. You just suddenly nodded your head. That's why I asked." She said. However I somehow sensed a bit of sadness in her voice. 'The previous owner of this body must have had a close relationship with her." I though to myself. System automatically loaded some of her info
Name: Serenity Alexa Vermillion
Age: 25
Marital status: Unmarried
Sign: Cancer
Element: Water
Status: First princess of the fire kingdom
Ranking: Upper mundane stage- level 1- (Unstable due to mother's death)
Extra info: In love with a general of the fire kingdom. Inherited a water sign because she was born in the water kingdom. kind and stubborn but hasn't been herself recently.
'Hey system do you get a sign based on which country you were born in or something?' I inquired. "Yes. pretty much." System replied. I nodded, 'What does upper mundane stage mean?" I asked. "Oh it's how strong you are. Yours is earthy, which is lower mundane then you have the stage your sister is in. Upper mundane stage." System replied. 'So she is stronger then me? I asked.
"Well it depends. Her mental attack is stronger then yours however her physical body and magic control is much weaker then yours. Because all non object signs can only receive a human form when they reach the last stage of the mundane stage. So until then she is much weaker." System replied. 'I see.'
"Honey, what is the important thing you called the family together for?" I heard a woman's voice say. I looked up to see the beautifull woman from before. I presume that this is my mother in law.
Name: Rianna Silvana Primrose
Age: 50
Marital status: Married to Marion vermillion
Sign: Virgo
Element: Earth
Status: Queen of the fire kingdom (recently)
Ranking: Lower mid-stage- Level 1-
Extra info: Previous first princess of Earth kingdom. Disliked the previous queen and her children, Malachi and Serenity. Wants her son, Michail, to inherit the throne instead of Malachi. Easily jealous and does whatever she needs to, to get what she wants. Plans to kill Malachi so that Michail can marry princess Lilianna and inherit the throne.
I almost choked at the last sentence. 'I had a feeling she disliked me but not to the point that she'd want to kill me!' I thought. "Well not long after princess Lilianna will arrive. I will be a way for a month." He said. My eyes widened even more. "I do not want to at this critical moment however... King Skye wants me to help him with internal conflict."
'I'm going to die in this castle.' I thought to myself. "Oh, honey. Don't worry." I heard Queen Rianna say; "We'll take very good care of things here. We'll give her the best there is." That sounded like it had a sinister meaning to it. 'She is definitely going to try to kill me." I thought. Her aura gave me chills although she smiled. I sensed evil behind it. Her presence reeked of a suffocating evil. So did my siblings. 'I cannot tell if my older sister are genuinely good people or if they are good at hiding their intentions and emotions.' I thought. "They are genuinely good people" System said. "The rest however... want you dead."
I heard my father laugh. "I'm sure you will leave all the management in Serenity and Malachi's hands. You take good care of the family." He said and kissed he forehead. However his eyes seemed to scream worry just a little. "Honey, why leave it in their hands. I can perfectly manage everything on my own." The queen said. "Uhuh, sure." I heard system say. "I know." My father said; "You manage everything perfectly well. It's time you take a break for a month. Plus they are my children too. I can let them take over some affairs for experience as well." The queen pouted at that. "Don't pout, my queen. It's only for a little while." The king said.

Ranking: Upper mid-stage -level 1-
'The king is surprisingly a resourceful man.' I thought. "He is." System said; "Sadly he is not perfect. Which lead to your death in the original plot."
"Malachi," I heard my father call I looked to him. "I'm sorry for forcing you to marry. But treat her well. Although she will not be an easy woman. If you could find a way to work with her many problems could be solved." His eyes seemed to be honest. "He is right about that though. Princess Lilianna is your only hope." System said. I looked in my father's eyes. "I cannot promise it will go well but she is my only hope." I said; "I cannot promise however that I will treat her as my wife."
"Are you in love with another woman or something?" My step mother asked. I nodded my head. "Something of the sort." I said. The queen smiled. "Well I'd be careful with her then. Your future princess consort is not known for her mercy and good heart. Quite a temper she has I have heard." She said. "You can give her to me if you don't want to." Michail said; "I've heard she is beautiful too." The queen smiled. "Now, now Michail." she said; "Let's not try to take what's not ours."

I wanted to roll my eyes. 'Hypocritical. He learned it from you.'
The king rubbed his head. "Why can't this family just get a long?" He said; "I am at my wit's end." He sighed then smiled again. "Malachi since princess Lilianna will be your wife, she will share a room with you. Maybe give me a grandchild soon." He said; "I am getting old." I think I will die by chocking at this point. I cleared my throat. My father patted me on the back. "Don't you think your reaction is a bit overboard? Don't think I haven't seen those books in your room." He said; "It's normal. Perhaps she'll be a family-orientated person in secret."
"Father, I think you're going overboard now." I said in a light tone; "Seeing her cold persona I don't think she'll like children. I'm afraid that the chances of your wish coming true are slim." My father sighed. "That is true..."
"Father, perhaps we should focus on his succession to the throne first. Then we can think about children." Serenity said and I shook my head. "I agree."
"True. We must get this succession done as soon as possible." He said; "Then I can have grandchildren. Let's see. We can name them Amarkeeri. Or maybe-" The queen cut him off. "Honey, I know you want grandchildren soon but perhaps you could leave the naming to them." However there seemed to be a dislike toward the thought of grandchildren.
"I have a question." I heard my younger sister say. "When will sister-in-law arrive?"
"Oh that will be in 3 days." The king said.
3 days... Nice... My life will be even worse 3 days from now...
Lily's perspective
I had no idea what to think. 3 days until I officially can't turn back. I'm scared of what will become of me... What if... I become a monster...
