I've watched and read many books where the female lead becomes empress, queen, a ruler. From being thrust into the position or getting intangled with the royal family hence landing on the throne. These females go through battles physically, socially and politically, learning how to rule while adapting to the new world and romance in their lives and I look at it and think... I'd rather run away, like for real. The second I realize I'm in that position, I'd find a way to leave before I'm trapped in that position but maybe I just don't have main character sense of responsibility. I've always thought that's probably why I wouldn't get reincarnated into one of these plots. Well that's until I woke up this morning in a lavish bed, in an even more lavish room I didn't register as I was almost instantly ushered to bath, dress and waltzed to a grand dining room to now have breakfast with 'my family ?', well this body's family.
Looking around i though 'this has to be a dream', probably because I just finished one of my many aristocrat light novels. I probably thought I was one of the characters, but deep inside of me, something felt off. Just as I was getting myself to believe my lucid dream theory , the girl... more like young lady beside me placed a had on my thigh under the table. " Sister are you ok? You're hyperventilating", she said while leaning towards me and with a look of concern reflecting on her emerald green eyes, it was only then that I realized I couldn't breathe well and was having a panic attack my body was reacting faster than my mind. "Zany!!!", Was the last thing I had as my vision darkened and I fainted.
Waking up the first thing that hit me was the calming scent of lavender and sweet smell of vanilla making me sigh and sink myself more into the soft bed and for a moment it felt blissful but only for a moment. As reality hit me my eyes fluttered open and I was met with a wooden carved canopy, with butterfly cavings seemingly flowing from vine carvings from the bed posts. The bed I was on was covered with a lavender and gold and White lace. the duvet was soft and within it where I was laying had the silkiest sheets I'd ever encounterd. Touching it with my hands as I sat up I realized I had cute manicured nails on long dainty hands. This was not how my hands looked, I still had my brown skin yet lighter. ' what happened?' I wispered to myself, only to hear a sweet yet melodious voice, I had always had a deeper, stern and mature voice tone. Created after much practice with getting people to take me seriously but now well -_-' was not the case. At this point I would have to have been dumb to not realize this wasn't a dream. I really had transmigrated, I got out of bed still admirering the well decorated room in lavender, white, gold and hints of blue and led myself to the walk-in closet to look for a mirror by vaguely guessing and remembering bits from the day before.
Looking at "my " reflection, I saw a petite yet curvy young lady, silver purple hair, and golden green eyes, round face and pink lips and a small nose. She had a great figure one could say and when I touched my tummy I found abs, that was kind of comforting. In my last life I had worked hard to get abs and they were part of my pride.
"Zany", I said to myself as looked in the mirror... This was the name I heard them call when I fainted earlier."ahhh!!!", I screamed as I felt a sudden sharp pain as tuns of information hit me. It was the memories of this body.
"Empress!"...
"Empress", was what zany heard as she slumped to the ground, alongside rushed footsteps. She turned her head to be met with a bunch of ladies in maid uniforms who she now knew from the memories she gained as my ladies in waiting. One of them namely Naomi, came to help me up with a concerned look.
"Go tell the Queen dowager ,young prime minister and her husbands", Naomi instructed the other maids who swiftly went to follow the instructions while she laid me down on the bed." The healer said that you need to rest Empress ", she said as she tucked me back in. I was quite the with only a nod of my head to her instructions as I was still digesting the memories.
I was now in the body of Zany was the first daughter of the Empress Lydia of Arindale empire. Known to people for being the country created by the very first time and space user who helped people survive the great war. Since then 5 generations of queens have developed and Zany is to be the 6th. The empire is ruled by a queen and a prime minister both from the current empress's daughters and since she was technically the first, as she was born a few seconds before her twin sister, she was trained from childhood on being the next empress. Now after her 21st birthday she had been preparing for the coronation. This included marrying two of her husbands and in half a month she is to marry her 3rd current fiance. And to be honest she was quite excited, having learned from young she was to be empress she worked hard and became a master in both magic and politics and this made a lot of people approve of her being empress. After her 21st they started to call her empress even before coronation and her mother the empress let her rule alongside her so she could guide her more before she was on her own. Or at least that was the plan, in reality after seeing her daughter's capabilities she slowly retracted till now where Zany was basically ruling. So apart from her training in magic to be a strong empress and ruling the empire, she was also the current acting empress, which in itself was a lot work, dealing with empire relations, the citizens ,aristocrats and ministers of the court. Honestly it sounded like a lot of work to me. Digesting these thoughts I felt I couldn't be empress...
