I was never meant to sit on the throne. If my three older brothers hadn’t vanished—one eloping, one fleeing the palace, one chasing freedom—I would have followed a different path. A quiet cottage… a normal life… a simple future with the woman I loved and the child she carried.

You.

I still remember the day everything was supposed to change. We were going to escape together—your mother and I—finally living far from the Empire’s pressure. But fate had a darker plan.

An enemy was made… the father of the girl I failed to save. Blinded by grief, he placed a curse on you while you were still in your mother’s womb: “The child will die at age thirteen.”

I panicked. I was terrified—yet I loved you from the moment I felt you kick for the first time.

I searched every realm, every spell, every loophole. And I found only one.

You had to be raised in another world, far from the curse’s reach. Somewhere safe. Somewhere the Empire’s past couldn’t follow.

So I entrusted you to two people I loved deeply—my childhood friends. A warm, gentle couple who were once about to marry. They lived in a distant world called the Philippines. There, you would be safe. There, you could breathe.

And so you grew up modestly—mid-class, simple, rarely seeing luxury. Brown hair like autumn, blue eyes gentle and bright. Quiet, soft-spoken, the type people naturally adored. Lovely in every sense. My daughter in every heartbeat.

Every year, I hold a birthday banquet for you. Even if no one understood. Even if the throne room felt too large without you.

Then, on the day of your most recent celebration… u materialized gracefully

And you appeared.

Standing in front of the throne, nobles gasping, music freezing mid-note. A small figure in a flower crown, long brown hair falling softly around your shoulders—... wondering what happened but still keeping the soft look..almost like a baby squirrel exactly like the child I imagined all these years.

My chest tightened. My vision blurred.

“…My baby… I can finally meet you.”

All my fears, all my guilt, all the years of searching— they led to this moment.

And now that you’re here… I won’t ever let the world take you away again. I'll spoil you to no end ..
