chapter 2

was it a maid's voice? “Yes I saw, is that the son of a duke? Including the officials." They whispered but I heard it.

"I thought the princess and the prince would go together?"

The voices gradually disappeared, maybe they left. Rain went with another lady? I was holding my chest.

Inhale and exhale at the same time, that was just a rumor coming from maids. I'm sure what they say is not reliable. Rain wouldn't cheat on me.

I calmed myself just like before, before I got reborn. Recalling my memories now... he's still the same.

He's also the same as my first life and this second life. I got reborn on the day of his coronation, my memories in this lifetime are ok.

Rain treated me ok and he was the same as the Rain in my first life. But why... did things change?

But nevertheless, I still have confidence in Rain. So I called the carriage to go to the party. "Princess... are you okay?" asked Judea.

"What are you, of course I'm fine. Maybe it was urgent that's why he didn't tell me." I answered with a smile, but she frowned.

Judea Yash is my maid since childhood, we are the same age and we are close. He knows everything that happens with Rain and me.

Everyone knew actually, that's why I'm complacent that Rain is not that kind of person. "But they left you without saying goodbye, you have the right to be angry."

I could hear the annoyance in his voice but I just laughed it off. "Well, I trust him." I answered calmly. So Judea sighed.

"this is the first time this happened princess, shouldn't you inform the Queen of Cypress Kingdom? He's clearly mistreating you." He suggested.

I stopped, first time huh. Yes, this is the first time this has happened. This did not even happen in my first life.

I just shook my head as the answer to Judea. "My family is ok without knowing, let it be."

Cypress Kingdom is where I came from, it's far away and it's surrounded by snow. I don't even know why Malcolm Kingdom is close to us.

They are super far from each other, but the two families are still friends. My family could not attend because it was a three-day trip using just a carriage.

I don't want to make my father and mother suffer. Besides, they already knew that I would be queen, they were even proud of me because Rain and I developed together.

Just as they expected us to be, the Malcolm Kingdom only has Rain now. Apparently Rain's parents disappeared when we were 10 years old.

It was said that they died when the ship sank when there was a typhoon. That's why Rain started ruling at a young age, but of course he wasn't king yet.

Royalties needs to be 18 before sitting on the throne, my family also helped him while we're young so this kingdom doesn't have any complications.

Now, he's going to be the king and I'm gonna be the Queen. I held my chest and couldn't hold back the joy.

This is great, I will experience again the joy of the years I spent with him. Our life was perfect in my first life too.

After we arrived, Judea opened the carriage with a bow. "Princess, I will wait here in the carriage. Enjoy your night and congratulations.”

"Thank you Judea." She smiled at me, I stared at her. Judea kind of hated Rain for unknown reason.

The same thing happened in my first life, when Rain and I became friends, he retired. I couldn't stop him because of Rain.

Rain didn't like him either, so when he left I never saw him again. I hope she'd stay with me in this second life.

"Dear princess, aren't you young?" Judea asked me in surprise. I slowly smiled at her, I also missed my childhood maid.

We've been together for God knows when. “Princess?”

"Will you stay with me even if we become Rain?" He was stopped by what I said, he didn't know that I knew he would leave in the future once Rain and I were together.

Judea didn't answer so I just sighed and went down. I know he's not sas- “Of course princess, why would I leave you?”

I immediately lifted my head and looked at him. He closed the carriage door as he left.

Wait- did I hear wrong? My face lit up, I'll just ask him when I get back.

I inhaled and decided to check the surroundings. I was holding my arm, why is no one guiding me inside?

At that time, Rain and I were greeted by a lot of people when we got off the carriage. I swallowed again and again, I was so awkward here.

Some guests are looking at me weirdly, they must have known me right? Their future queen? Where is Rain?

Why didn't he meet me, I'm not good with people. Because only Rain is good at that, I'm also good at it before. That was the case.

Everything changed when Rain was always with me. It's not that he doesn't allow me, but he says that it's better if we're together all the time.

You know? To strengthen our relationship, so instead I go into parties and banquets, I just stay by his side.

Or do Queen-like practice for our future. He also said that I should take those lessons, eventually my parents also agreed.

So all my life I'm only with Rain or practicing to be a queen.

(Queens in this era doesn't do much except to do proper etiquette or sit and look pretty in front of everyone. -Queen A.M)

I just sighed, I'll just look for a guard. I was about to touch the shoulder of a royal guard near me in case-

He retreated, since that guard was big and I was small. He hit me hard and I fell.

I had no choice but to accept my fall to the floor, what else could I do because the impact was so strong, that's why I bounced away.

I closed my eyes and already accepted my fate. Why am I having such a bad day? I just came back and this happened right away- huh?

"Are you ok?" I woke up when I felt something soft and hard on my back. A masked person?
