I'm a gothic girl who was killed in an accident in a mysterious city. My reincarnated memory has kicked in and I remember everything now. I woke up to a new life with a new body after a painful rebirth. I feel a sharp pain in your neck for a second.
Slowly, I opened my eyes. I'm on a bed. Trying to analyze the situation, I looked around.
I am in a room with the window showing a night sky with a strange star configuration of stars of all different colors. I see that I am in a hospital room. There is a nurse besides my bed.
She looks at me and smiles.
"Welcome back to life. You have been unconscious for 2 days," she said. "Where am I?" a question arose.
She smiles. "You are in the royal world of Ristill, the city of magic. You were the victim of a strange attack from a monster a couple of days ago. If it wasn't for the royal guard and magic specialists you'd be dead."
She was about to say more but was interrupted by a young man that enters the room. He bows his head to me introduced himself as the prince. Feels good to have a prince bow to me.
Then the prince speaks to me, "I just came by to see if you are recovering well, that's all." He bows to me and then turns to the nurse and asks her if she has anything else to do. After confirming it, he exits the room without saying another word.
The nurse then looks at me and tells me something interesting; "That prince is someone you definitely need to watch out for. He has a very evil reputation across the kingdom."
"Evil? He doesn't seem very evil to me." I replied to her. The nurse then looks at me with a straight face and says, "He may not look like it, but he has done many horrible things and he is known to not hesitate when killing. You are new in this world, but he is a feared person in the kingdom."
She then tells more about the world, "Ristill is a kingdom that rules over several other independent countries that are under its influence. If you don't mind me asking, what's your name?"
I replied to her, "Aiko." The nurse then bows towards me and says, "Aiko... On top of your eccentric fashion, I see that your name is eccentric as well. Well, Aiko, I'm glad that you are finally awake."
The nurse then speaks up again... saying that I should be careful to not get into any trouble or to anger the prince. She tells me again, "You should rest. You've had a difficult few days."
Now I'm left with my thoughts. The nurse suggests that I go to sleep, as it can be boring around here. She then leaves after telling me to not worry about bills, as the kingdom will gladly pay for all the expenses.
Feeling bored, I close my eyes. I don't know how many seconds are gone by.... Then I open my eyes... I see a person staring back at me.
The person is a blonde male. He is young. He looks like a prince. He says nothing to me but looks at my eyes in a scary way.
I decide to respond to him by questioning his identity in a rude tone.
"Who?"
He continues to stare at me without saying a word. The nurse walks in and then proceeds to introduce the prince in a very flattering way. She is interrupted. He asks her to close the doors. He speaks in a very cold deep voice.
"Tell me your name."
"My name? Aiko."
He looks at me with a cold gaze and speaks once again, "Aiko." he repeats my name in a way that'd give goosebumps.
"Tell me your origins."
I want to respond... but I find myself incapable of speaking. A chill runs down my spine as I struggle to breathe. What is wrong with me, God damn it!
The nurse's eyes are as big as an ocean... as this scene occurs.
I decided to refuse to answer. "Why should I tell you?"
This angers him. He slowly takes a step towards me... his steps are heavy like stone. I hold my breath in instinct. This is an instinct as the prince has a very scary aura. I don't know what type of magic or abilities he has.
He stands up to his full height and towers over me. I decide to smirk at him and show no fear to scare off the prince.
He then smiles back and speaks to me in a snake-like voice, "How interesting, so this is the type of person that you are?" he seems amused. He then speaks to me with words that are meant to terrify me... but they don't.
"Are you aware of the type of person you are speaking to, Aiko?"
I respond in the most nonchalant way possible in order to annoy the prince further. "So what? I'm not from here anyways." His face is filled with rage. I continue to stare back at him.
This infuriates him...
He quickly rushes to me. He lifts up my neck. He looks at me in the eyes while holding on to me in a grip. He starts to talk in a very menacing way... "'So... what'? 'So what', you say?!"
I laugh in the face of the prince as a response. He shakes in anger as he gets ready to squeeze my neck until it snaps.
I continue to look at him straight in the eyes while laughing at him mockingly. This drives him to the edge of his wits. He raises his hand, ready to slap my face. He wants to knock me out. Haaah, the prince is being driven crazy! I love it!
"You wanna slap me, huh!? You think just because you're some bigshot you can do anything you want?!" I mock the prince again while still laughing in his face.
"You want to break my break my face, right?! You wanna slap me?!"
His anger is at its peak. He finally decides to take action... he slaps your face violently with enough force to break the bones in your cheeks.
Now I'm pissed. I'm very angry at him now for slapping me.
While I'm being choked, I proceed to punch him to the ground. He lays there on the floor... he looks at me from the floor. He seems very surprised that I managed to do that. I got him to the floor. I look at him darkly.
I grab his collar... while he's still on the floor. I make an ultimatum to him.
"Try to do that shit again and see what happens."
I have his collar. I have him in my grasp. No more games.
I want to teach him a lesson.
