Isn't this exciting? To be back as a one year old baby where Archer Debelvoir still care. A joyous event indeed. *barf.
Ah shit.
Another one of those.
Why the fuck did I get reincarnated as babies in all my lives, huh? *muttering. And to be back in my first life at that dammit!
"Oh my, our little princess seems to be learning how to speak.. kyaa, so cute!"
So cute my ass. You betrayed me, Anna. You took Vanessa's side when she became Archer's mistress. And should the fate repeat itself, you shall be in her payroll as well when the time comes. The same goes with the other maids in this room.. and the rest of the servants.
Sigh.
I'm surrounded by traitors.
But hell, nah. I shall not back down.
I will be powerful enough to fight back should the opportunities arise in the future. I'm no longer the same child that they bullied before. I had lived up to the age of a twenty-year old on my previous two lives, so by nature, I'm actually an old soul and technically an old hag. And this old hag has a short temper. A very bad one at that.
Hm, how is it for a bitter and vicious nature?
By all means the shit that happened in my first life should've turned me into some kind of a villainess, right?
Or should I just let it all go and move on with the new life and let the karma do its jobs?
…
…
…
Ha.
No.
Try me.
**
He's been coming here every morning before his breakfast and every night after his dinner ever since I was sent back to this life.
This is new.
Whatever happens to you, Archer? *annoyed. And why are you keep staring at me like that you freak? *barf. Gaargh why am I barfing right now? So uncool! *blushing, non-stop barfing.
"Maids! Call Dr. Morty. NOW!"
*panic. "Y-Yes, Your Grace!"
THIRTY MINUTES LATER.
"I-It's a.. the princess is seemed to have some food allergies, Your Grace."
What? What food allergies? I don't recall to have any in previous lives..
"EXPLAIN." Archer barked. He seems agitated (which is weird, this is my first time seeing some emotions on him), but the family physician informed him in details regarding my situation.
Some frequent barfs are normal for babies, though recently I've been having a lot of those more often since my regression.. something that did not happen in my first and second life. It could be a reflux but should it be some food allergies then this is definitely new. I wonder what food it is.. but dammit, I wanted to hear more and self-analysing myself too but I'm getting lightheaded and seems like I have an upset stomach now.. *coughed.
Oh I don't feel good. *coughed. I don't feel good at all. *coughed.
And you guys are too noisy, please be quiet.
*noises in the background as Archer's losing his shit.
Darn it Archer, stop yelling!
THE NEXT DAY.
Urgh, am I still sick?
My head seems okay right now but my stomach still feels a bit weird.
Huh? Wait.
Is that.. Archer? What is Archer doing in my roo.. no, this isn't my nursery room.
AM I IN HIS CHAMBER?
AND THE NEXT, NEXT DAY.
This is absurd.
He's been keeping me in his room for three days straight and the dude has been practically doing all his work in here.
*a man entering the room after a knock. Oh hello, Mr. Hugo. Good morning to you. You were his most loyal aide but you failed to notice the shit around the house back in the days.. so I hate chu too. Stop staring at me! Grrr.. *glared.
*flinched. "Your Grace, the little lady seems to be up."
"Call the new Nanny."
New Nanny?
"Yes, Your Grace."
What new nanny?
**
A few minutes later I've learned that Archer had fired ALL, I meant ALL the servants inside the manor with no exceptions, and had replaced them with new ones in the past three days.
Great. So much for my revenge plan for those who partaken the abused in my first life.
But anyhow, the security had been tightened as well with the guards shifting and patrolling around the estate on every five hours for efficiency. Back then, I learned that the family has over three thousand private knights in total, a hundred and twenty house guards, and about two hundred and fifty workers on the main estate. The said numbers are excluding the staffs who worked inside the manor. Not to mention the ones who worked at the townhouse in the capital city as well. Dang. Now that I think about it, we are indeed a powerful ducal family.
The servants who worked inside the manor weren't small either. The manor is huge as fuck after all. If I can recall correctly, I'm sure they were about two hundred servants in total, so to replace them all including the Head Butler and his subordinates along with that hideous Head Maid.. what on earth happened?
"How is she?" Archer asked, although his head's fixated on the paperwork.
"The critical moment has passed, Your Grace. The little lady is stable but she's still weak." The nanny rocked me in her arms. I liked her. She's very gentle.
"Bring her to me."
Ack. WHY?
"Yes, Your Grace."
Why you smilin' new nanny? Why you givin' me to this piece of shi.. oh hey, he's holding me ever so gently. Not bad Archer, patting me softly on my back is actually making me a bit sleepy.. *yawning. But it doesn't mean that I've forgiven you for abandoning me before, alright? I'm just gonna close my eyes a bit on your shoulde..
*zzzz..
EMPRESS HALL, IMPERIAL PALACE, LATER THAT NIGHT.
"IMPOSSIBLE!"
Cups and vases were being thrown away, and the ruckus caused by the empress was getting bigger.
"Y-Your Majesty.." Macy Heinnel, the empress's handmaiden and confidant tried to calm her down. "I'm sure that there's other way to keep His Grace in chec.."
"SHUT UP!" *panting. "You failed me, Macy! I don't tolerate a single failure, didn't I make that clear before?"
Macy's right shoulder started to bleed due to the vase that the empress has thrown at her, but she stood firm and still. She's been serving her mistress even before she became the empress. She knew exactly how to behave around her.
How could this happen? He fired all servants at once? Why? I've planted all of them for years and very, very carefully.. what on earth happened? "Not a soul left?"
"I'm afraid not, Your Majesty. Except for the maid who reported the incident, the rest of them have gone missing without a trace. And I have dealt with that maid accordingly."
"The Butler? The Head Maid? Hundreds of people don't just disappear in thin air!"
But you know for a fact that Archer Debelvoir has the power to do so.. "As informed, Your Majesty."
"USELESS!!" Impossible. Impossible. Impossible!*huff. That inadequate butler that I planted cautiously was the main key! Did Archer catch him in the act? Did he throw them all in the dungeons? Damn it if it's true.. what if he hates me now? No.. he would never hate me. But my years of hard work on making all servants in that mansion to be on my payroll.. this is FRUSTRATING! *biting her nails.
No.. no, I can't give up.You can't get away from me, Archer. No matter how hard you try to push me away, I will never let you go. I don't care what it takes but I will make you mine again. Yes, mine. You've always been mine. Even though we're no longer together, we're still meant to be. I know you still love me! I know you do! "Summon an Informant Guild Master. At once!"
BACK AT THE DEBELVOIR MAIN ESTATE AT THE DUCHY.
Archer Debelvoir, the fuck?
I have been officially moved to his chamber?
You're telling me that I'm going to spend the rest of my infant days with you? Daily? Nightly? With you?
I hate chu!
*peewt.
"Since when did you learn to spray gas on my face, huh?"
Since I realized that you're a lousy dad, you dirtbag. Take one more attack of my fresh body odor. There!
"Ha. Seems like you have to go at it again, let me see.."
I'm not poopi.. huh? 'Let me see?' You're joking, right? YOU are going to check whether I'm shitting or not? YOU of all people? YOU? Dammit! *wiggling. Get away from me you freak!
