You heard a loud cry, wait, is that you?

You cried and cried. Apparently, you were born today as the first ever princess of the Velleity kingdom; a very rare situation because there's only boys born into this kingdom, to the royal family to be precise.

You then heard a footstep, it was a black-haired man with his piercing blue eyes. Similar to yours. You can tell it was your father. Though, he only looked at you with cruelty, as your mother was at your side, sobbing softly as she hears him say, "How useless." with coldness and left.

Your mother, the empress loves you very much, though she was guilty because you have a curse mark, meaning, you will die at the age of 18, and considering you were a girl born in the royal family, you cannot wield swords. You understand the meaning of it, despite being a newborn baby, you knew what it meant.

Though, does it matter you if you'll die at 18? No.

Because for you, this is already enough. You had a very beautiful gift, and it was your parents. You have no right to not to be grateful for that. You thought of it.

Until, when you were now at the age of 4, your knight, Illuster, who was at your side most of the time and absolutely adores you, froze at what you said.

"Because i would not live long, and my death is near anyway." You just said it like you accepted it, looking at the knight calmly while smiling softly.

But you didn't notice that the empress and the emperor, were about to come in, hearing what you said, they froze immediately.

It's like their hearts was breaking about how you just seemed like you were accepting it and you knew about it all along? An innocent child like you...the knight almost shed tears hearing that.
