*************************************

I sensed my body in the pitch darkness. It feels frigid.

Freezy. I felt as if I was in a wide ocean. And I am sinking to the bottom. My chest feels constricted, and it's difficult to breathe.

The atmosphere around me was dark. I don't know how long I've been like this.

But one thing is certain: I have died.

And there is no hope for me to live.

———

----------------------------------------

However, not long after, I felt a warm and bright atmosphere. Bright flashes of light began to enter my dark world.

Slowly, I opened both eyes.

Oh, I'm still alive.

I started to get up slowly from the luxurious double king bed in a sitting position.

Wait, a luxurious bed?

My eyes flickered as I looked at my unfamiliar surroundings.

This is not my bedroom. Whose room is luxurious with a bed like this?

Furniture and items filled with golden colors include a large, luxurious bed, two sofas, and a table in front of the bed. However, all the furniture looks more antique and unique. It looks like as described in the novel that I once read.

The bedroom of the royal family.

Huh?

Wait a moment...

My eyes flickered as I sat stiffly. This is not a dream, is it?

Why does my body feel light and small?

While I was thinking about various things, suddenly—

The bedroom door was wide open. Soon, I heard a scream.

"Your Highness Princess Irene!!!"

I looked toward the door. It looked like a palace servant was running fast towards my side.

"Thank God, you have been woken up!"

Huh? Princess Irene? Who? Is it me?

The female palace servant was crying while holding both of my hands.

Strangely, both my hands feel very small.

I just kept looking and staring at the female palace servant. Her hair was dark brown but tied in a bun; her eyes were purple; and she was dressed like a royal servant.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

For a moment, I remembered a novel that I read called {The Tragedy of Winter Coldheart}. The characteristics are the same as those of the special servant of Princess Irene Sophia de Grande Santasos.

( Yulia Austern Ve Pieress. She is the daughter of the baron who is assigned to serve me as a princess servant. She is very kind, and she treats me nicely. That makes me like her very much.

However, I feel sorry for her because she often gets punished for just wanting to protect my weak, useless self.

I hope she serves princesses from other kingdoms so that she doesn't have the same misfortune as me. )

Verses from the novel suddenly flashed through my mind right now. True. She is Yulia Austern. Princess Irene's special attendant.

Wait, don't tell me that I'm Princess Irene Sophia?

* Pat, pat, pat *

I patted both my cheeks repeatedly. It hurts. So this means that this is not a dream, right?

Me? Princess Irene? Impossible right?

My eyes twinkled, and I asked Yulia Austern who was next to me.

"Umm...Yulia? Where are we now?"

Why does my voice sound so different and like a kid?

One of my hands grabbed my neck and rubbed it gently.

Yulia Austern's eyes filled with tears, and she looked at me sadly. "Your Highness? You didn't remember what happened?"

What? What is happening?

I'm confused. Why me? How do I enter this body? Wait a second. There was too much information that I couldn't understand and process, so I held my throbbing head.

Huh? What is this?

My hands covered my head, which was wrapped in a white bandage.

This...what exactly happened? I do not understand.

"Hic...Your Highness Princess Irene! Please do not push yourself! Just rest on the bed again!"

"Your Highness, I will take the medicine for you right now. Please drink this first!"

Yulia cried while holding my hand. She laid me back on the bed and gave me a full glass of water.

After that, she continued to rush out of the room.

Strangely, right now, I didn't feel any pain in my body.

My eyes just fluttered while holding the glass given by Yulia. Yulia is the princess' special servant, who has a kind and generous character in the novel.

So without further ado, I took a sip and drank the water in the glass without hesitation. Coincidentally, my throat feels dry and thirsty; maybe drinking this water will relieve me a little.

* Sip *

After drinking half of the glass, I put it on the table next to my luxurious bed. I looked toward the large curtain on the left. I got up from my bed and walked over to the curtains. After that, I flipped the curtain.

The cloudy light from outside dazzled my eyes a little, but I could only smile. Because the warmth of the environment and the beautiful scenery in front of me made me realize that this was amazing.

There were carriages moving, and the voices of servants busy serving dignitaries were heard in front of the gate. In addition, it also has the frozen water fountain in the middle of the front of the palace, which is so luxurious and magnificent with the decoration of stork statues.

Even more interesting, at this time it is snowing, which almost fills the entire palace area. Like a dream, this scene is really beautiful but feels cold. However, I could feel the warmth of the people who were there, smiling at each other.

If I remember correctly, the Kingdom of Santasos is a snowy region and a country located in the south of the continent. So this is the Kingdom of Santasos?

What a sight this is! Beautiful!

After enjoying the scene, I closed the curtains again. I slowly walked towards the large, long mirror that was located by the sofa.

I looked in the mirror. Then, I saw the apparition of a young little girl in a white nightgown with the bandage cover around the head. Long, light blue hair. Bangs of hair almost cover the front of both eyes. The iris of the eye is light blue, and the pupil is dark blue. A pale, milky-white skin. It looks like a small and weak body of a child.

I touched the front of the mirror with my hand.

So this is the figure of Princess Irene Sophia...

And even weirder...

This...is me?

I am Princess Irene Sophia? And now I'm in the novel I previously read before death?
