How hard life could be than how i live my life from the past life? Now i am moving this large paintings and heavy statue with the maids. It is not so bad since i train my physical capability with this. I would grab every possible way to survive this lifetime and attain my biggest and best revenge for them all and would laugh as they fall from their throne. But for now i need to lift this heavy things first.
Well everyone knows that i am the emperor illigitimate child and they also know how bad the people of palace is treating me. My step sister is the most famous of them all. She would embarrassed me infront of everyone whenever the chance she have. Asking for my fathers help is not a choice either. He would just say that i need to learn how hard living a life really is. The gut saying that in front of me when my half sister is living a luxurious and a bundant life a real princess could have. If i just didn't know their real plan then maybe i would just let my self be fooled by them once again.
My mother was a magician but my father impregnated her even knowing that magic is prohibited to his own land. It is contradicting. But knowing my fathers and the empress behavior I'm sure they are planning something evil from gaining my power. What a good deed they could even do?
" Elara, can you help me wiping out the top dear?" It is Wellia, she is already in her old age but still working for the palace.
"Of course, you can just left that for me to finished. " I answered with a smile.
After finishing cleaning i move to the kitchen to help the cook. I want to avoid Merrideth as much as possible. Since she have a tea party today for sure the kitchen is busy preparing for everything. She is a perfectionist but not even perfect herself!
"Sir, could i help for anything?"
"Lara, I'm glad to see you are here. Could you bring this food to the training ground? We are short of people today because of the Princess tea party." The head chef said full of worry.
Even without a magic, our empire is still known to its skilled warriors. It is one of the people my father valued the most. And because of that no one dared to seize our land.
" Yes sire!"
I caught up with them still training. I watched their every step and move and carved it to my mind. How they attacked, even the way they step backed and parry.
I stayed there for a minute after i drop their foods to the commander. We talk a little since i ask about small things regarding to their training. He even eyed me as if i am asking weird things since this is my first time being curious to what they do.
In the afternoon, after i finished all my work go to my secret place. A cliff not far away to the main palace. No people usually go there because of the rumors that everyone who falls to the clip never been found.
"Ha! That's tiring!" I wipe off my sweat after i drop all the things that i from bring from axes to knife. After climbing this high cliff this is no joke.
First, if i want to learn swordsmanship i need to have a sword itself. Of course, i need to make it by a wood to imitate the real one. I eyed every tree near me. It should be fine and stong wound. After I finished finding the wood I wanted to use, i start cutting it with an ace that i bring. Not a while after i can feel my muscles starting to feel pain while my swear is already running down to my chin. Never in my life i did this before.
"This is not something easy to do. I never know."
I rest for a while and drink some water before getting back to work. The sun was already setting when i finished cutting the till the size i want. I fixed all my things and walk down the cliff towards home.
I also live in the palace but in the small room. With lamp lighting up my whole room i use my sharp knife to carved a sword shape that i desired. I hope this would be worth it after i finished.
A loud thug on my room's door ruin my focus. I slowly open the door to see who it is when the sight of Wellia welcomed me.
"I didn't see you eat dinner so i bring one for you. You shouldn't skip meals. Please take care of yourself." I feel grateful that she remembered me. I forgot to eat because I was busy with what I was doing. She's been a mother like to me even before. She didn't treat me bad even the other people did.
"Thank you so much, Wellia. I really appreciate this."
"Now,now eat before the food gets cold."

I bow down when i encountered the Dutchess of the house Hatchett. I prayed that she wouldn't recognize me. I must avoid every royal blood at all cost. They stand all evil torment peasants as an cockroaches in the eyes. People are loyal not because they choose to but because we'll be beheaded if ever do.
The Dutchess didn't recognize me but her daughter did.I tightly closed my eyes as she approached me.
"Good day, My lady." I bowed once more as i greeted her. I open half of my eye but choose to close it again when saw her evil look.
" Oh, the bastard cousin of mine. Where is Merrideth? Come with me to her." Of all people she is finding Merrideth!
From my past life, i know the cycle of Merrideth's day. Now for sure she have her musical study and she hate it when someone bother's her.
" I'm sorry but the princess is in her studies right now, so we can't bother her." I feel the hit of her slap in my face just after i answered her. How could she slap me when i just asnwer her. This royal blood. If i could ever learn my power i would make them suffer more than they do to me.
Now everyone's eyes is on us. I still hear a few whispering. I honestly don't feel any embarassment at the moment but the rage is building up like a wildfire inside my heart. How many slap it would take for me to ease this burning heart?
" Did i ask you for you to answer, ignorant!"
This lady! Didn't have anything to do her life than embarassed people.They are undoubtedly cousins.
