Slowly opening my eyes, the first thing I see is the image of a girl with a crown on her head.
Without thinking much about the photo, I slowly lift my body and try to get out of bed. It takes me longer than usual to stand on the floor.
I turn around to see where I am.
To my right I can see an open wardrobe with mainly black clothes, and a little further down by a curtained window is a desk with a lamp that illuminates a stack of papers. Reaching the end of the room, there is only a door that does not look extraordinary. The bed on which I slept is large and by large I mean that three people can easily lie down on it.
Yep it's definitely not my room.
But my thoughts shouldn't be in the room right now but should be asking what I'm doing here and why I slept in not mine bed and yes I drank last night but not so much as not to remember to go to someone's house and pass there and it would be strange because I was drinking alone in my own house.
So someone kidnapped me?
It's interesting because they had to bypass the security of my house, which I find difficult, but hey, I'm here now and not in my house.
But why would they do that? Was it for my precious collection of game figures or maybe they wanted to steal the code over the artificial intelligence that I develop together for my company. They took me here so they must want something more.
I walk calmly to the mirror, which glowing letters caught my attention.
On the mirror there are glowing letters that slowly emit less light. The mirror I approached has the words "You who have confused the world, you who defy the rules with your existence will forever be barred from entering back into my world".
Really weird stuff is happening here.
I managed to read the whole thing before the whole text disappear, but after the text has disappear only a girl remained i think she is 14 years old she has golden eyes that emit a golden color and a pale white face as if she had seen a ghost and her long black straight hair reach her shoulder she wears a plain white shirt and pants.
But something is wrong!
Looking down, I look at my hands and I'm sure those hands aren't mine, and I'm also sure these clothes are the same as the child in the mirror. I understood what was going on i speak not too loudly.
"It's me?"
No, that can't be true, I'm a 26-year-old woman, not a child.
But how do I explain that I feel my heartbeat, breathing and touch when I touch something?
How could I not notice that I became a 14 year old kid, am I stupid or what?
Wait, that picture I first saw is a portrait of me, I mean this portrait of this body.
As I approach the picture of this body, I see more and more clearly at the bottom center, "Tiana Foundress".
So she is a ruler who just founded the country when she has about 14 years old. It's impossible, children don't found countries, I mean when she had time for it. But the second weird thing is that she has the same name as me, but I don't look like her, i mean, I didn't look like her and I wasn't a big fish like some ruler of a country, I was just a simple programmer.
Wait, so this body is still a baby so it can't rule, only an idiot would put a child in charge of a country, so I'm assuming she's not the real ruler who holds real power over the country, but a puppet. So who is the master behind the scenes?
Wait, I shouldn't be so calm and wondering if she's a ruler or a puppet when I haven't figured out how I got here yet. And the even more important question why as a child!
But is the situation so bad at the end of the day? I rather doubt that I am in Europe or on earth at all, it does not indicate that my turning into a child and the fact that there is no ruler on Earth like Tiana the majestic 'Foundress', assuming of course that I am not in the future. So if I can start my new life and with it my existence as Tiana I assume that i will see a chance to rule. If I see such a chance, I can build a country that I consider ideal, of course, I know that my decisions can cause death in the population, after all, people have been dying for their beliefs for centuries, and if I want to change something, I will have to step on what they believed over the years of their existence. So I'll be the hammer that breaks down the walls that hold back prosperity. Of course, it is not about the government itself, but about what is associated with it.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
I know that sounds like something only a villain or some freak would think of in this situation, but if I have to start over as a child and my existence on earth is unknown, I want to do things that I couldn't do on earth. So I don't care if I've been reincarnated or anything from now on, there's only one goal, the goal to grow stronger so that my ideals can become true.
So, starting off, maybe I'll first look at these papers that look like they're telling me, please, read us.
So I go calmly to desk and take the first sheet of paper.
There are interesting things on it, first of all, they inform me that for the needs of the alliance with the country of Thracian, a total of 4,500 infantry was sent and 20 warships to the sea important for this kingdom to show our support for the alliance and possible help in the defense of the ever-growing power on the continent that borders with this country. They also inform me in next papers of nicer things, such as that the kingdom enjoys a successful economic growth after opening up to trade with countries, and that the general wealth of the kingdom people increases, which is associated with greater satisfaction with the reforms that took place after the civil war.
Wait civil war?! I will have to find out about this more because a country that was founded by a 14-year-old and already has civil wars does not bode well, maybe my plans will have to change slightly.
The next papers show changes that have been changed in taxes, there are visible plus that reduce taxes, but also some that add new ones that are not needed or increase existing ones, for example, an additional sugar tax. The last of the papers concerns concerns about my health. Ministers are worried about my less activity on the political scene after the unexpected civil war and they are afraid for my physical and mental state.
So I'm not someone's puppet this information shouldn't be given to a puppet this is great news for me but I still don't know if they will take me seriously after all a 14 year old doesn't have enough political power.
knock knock
"My king, it's urgent I can come in"
Wait my king shouldn't I be called my queen and more importantly why do you want to come in can't you pass this information through the door if it's so important.
I replied
"Wait a moment"
"My king, I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you, but it's really urgent"
I replied in a slightly irritated voice
"I said wait a minute!"
"Yes my king"
After all, I can't greet a guest in pajamas, it's not befitting the ruler of the country.
When I went to the wardrobe I chose clothes that look like there wasn't much to choose from so i chose a coat that goes down to my ankles and a black suit with pants and black shoes to match the suit i know it's not my style but i think i look cool and i think i'm a little serious i also took a katana which was leaning on the side in the middle of the wardrobe.
I can finally invite our guest to say what a serious thing he has to say to me and thus interrupt my musings.
"You can come in"
----------------------------------------
[Royal Guard POV]
"You can come in"
At these words, I opened the door not aggressively so as not to anger the king even more.
I understand that the king might be upset about all the things that happened a few years ago, but he can't blame it all on us. Rebellions had happened in the kingdoms a long time ago, and she must have known that the things she had done over the years would one day reflect on her. Also, she shouldn't believe that the royal guard will never oppose her, so she shouldn't place so much faith in them.
Finally entering the room with my bowed head i wait for the command.
The King's Guard is taught not to show any disrespect to established rules and never, ever mention her unnaturally aged body. We are taught that the king pays great attention to this, an example may be that one general that lost his head only because he did not show enough seriousness for the king. How could he point out her flaws including her age not like her body in front of all the soldiers and yet call her a monster in the body of a child.
"Lift Your Head"
As ordered, I raise my head slowly, I can see the katana she is holding and her eyes that glow in the shadow she is standing and her eyes look at me as if I am a victim about to be killed.
Lowering my head a bit so I don't see those scary eyes, I swallow and want to speak but I can't.
Suddenly I felt something that demanded that I start speaking in an instant something I couldn't do so I did and I got my words out.
"My king, you are urgently summoned to the meeting of ministers and generals who await only for you. My king, this is really important. The kingdom is at stake."
----------------------------------------
[Tiana POV]
"You can come in"
I see the door slowly opening and a man entering the room. He stopped at the entrance and with his head bowed looks as if he was waiting for me to give the command to lift it up.
"Lift Your Head"
As he slowly raises his head I can see that he is sweating more and more as if he was about to be killed and when his eyes met mine he quickly lowered his head a little so as not to look at me. I consider it a bit of an insult after all, I didn't even do anything and he acts as if he met a monster that lurks for a convenient moment to attack.
You had something important to tell me, so [Speak]!
"My king, you are urgently summoned to the meeting of ministers and generals who await only for you. My king, this is really important. The kingdom is at stake."
What?
