Chapter 333
Chapter 333
"Give it to me!"
Raising his voice, he reached out to take the beautiful brooch that the boy in front of him was holding tightly with both hands.
But stubbornly, instead of giving it to him, he turns to me with eyes filled with disgust and anger.
"I told you I don't like it, miss Valerie This is a precious gift from my father."
What? Today is my sixth birthday party. I don't know if you're the crown prince or what, but if you came to my birthday party, you could at least give me that brooch."
I was so angry that I pushed harder to take it away from him.
The maids around me seemed to be flustered by the exchange between him and me.
But I didn't care, and we struggled with each other.
Then, as he shouted, "Stop it! I was pushed away with too much force and hit the back of my head hard against the wall.
The impact caused me to moan, "Ah! I let out a moan from the impact, and at that moment, my vision went blank.
At the same time, various memories were being recalled from my mind.
The suddenness of the event made me feel dizzy, as if I had been dizzy on my feet, unable to process what had just happened.
"E......A......to......"
Oh, hey. What's up ......."
The boy in front of me is saying something, but it's very vague and I can't understand him.
Soon after, I fell forward on the spot.
Unfortunately, there was a pile of wood or something on the ground where I fell down.
I think I heard a dull thudding sound.
At that moment, I felt a great pain on my forehead, but I just passed out.
I was out cold and then I felt a sharp pain in my forehead, but I passed out.
For some reason, I found myself in total darkness.
"Where am I? ...... who am I?"
As I muttered this, a woman and a girl slowly appeared in front of me, enveloped in light.
Who are they?
The woman and the girl looked at each other and giggled as they both pointed their fingers at me.
At that moment, the woman and the girl became one light and came into me.
Then the world that the woman and the girl saw came into my mind.
The street lined with buildings, the roads, the cars passing by and the many people.
I recognized this world.
This is the world the woman in light knew ...... and yes, I know that world.
Every day, I took the same road to ...... Oh, where was I headed?
Then, this time, I saw the world the girl knew.
My father, who is cool and scary when he's angry, but ...... but sweet to me.
A mother who is strict with everyone and me, but always forgives me in the end.
And my brother, who always cares about me and is kind to me.
Everyone in my family always forgives me, saying that I am lovely.
That is why I am the prettiest and the greatest girl in the world.
As proof of this, the maids, butlers, and knights in the house always listened to me even when I was selfish.
And yet, that "boy" didn't listen to me. ......
Oh, but speaking of that, that "boy" said that it was a precious thing that his father gave him.
Then, I guess it's my fault.
As I repeatedly ask myself in the pitch black darkness, a question arises in me.
But ...... why couldn't I even realize that?
Was I that young?
Or rather, who am I really and why am I in such a dark place?
Just as I thought that, a light appeared from within me and took the form of a little girl.
"Hmmm, you and I are the 'me' now.?
"What do you mean, ......?"
But the girl does not answer my question.
At that moment, a light appeared at the end of the darkness, and the light in the shape of a girl ran.
With surprise, I chased after the girl.
"Wait, who am I and why am I here⁉"
She stopped in front of the light that appeared, looked back at me, and smiled.
Everybody here will tell you who you are."
"Ê......."
With her reply, a light shone through the darkness.
At the same time, I lost consciousness again as the girl in front of me came into me again.
◇
I wonder ...... what it is, I feel like I was dreaming something very important but I can't remember.
More than that, I was hearing various people's voices coming from around me.
I thought I heard familiar voices mixed in among them.
Who am I?
Why am I here?
With these thoughts in mind, I slowly opened my eyes and checked my surroundings with my eyes alone.
It seems that I am sleeping in a big soft bed, surrounded by many people.
I wonder if they are all watching my sleeping face.
If so, they are not very nice people.
I stared at the ceiling and tried to remember something, but I still couldn't figure it out.
I muttered to myself, "I don't know this ceiling".
At that moment, everyone in the room looked surprised and cheered.
Amidst the pause, a woman embraced me with tears streaming down her face.
"Valerie! Valerie, I am so glad. I thought you would never wake up again."
I am Valerie ...... and she is my ...... mother ......."
A shock ran through me at that moment, as if an electric current had been sent through me.
Then, the memories of a woman and a girl mingled and flowed into my mind.
I couldn't help but feel nauseous, and I gasped on the spot, "Uh-oh.
"......⁉ Valerie, Valerie."
"Ah, ah, ah, ah. I am sorry, mother. I just got a little dizzy. I'm all right now.'
I answered slowly and clearly to reassure the mother who was staring at me with a worried look on her face.
In such a situation, my mind is reorganizing all sorts of information.
Soon after, I looked around at Mother and everyone around me in front of me, and I muttered in my mind.
(Yes, I am the daughter of the Duchess Elasenise ...... 'Valerie Elasenise')
◇
A few days after I fell asleep after I hit my head at a birthday party.
I am still laying on my bed, just in case.
And I was looking at the picture book that was prepared for me to pass the time.
However, the picture book was simple and I soon got bored with it.
I put the picture book, which I had finished reading quickly, on the desk prepared beside the bed and let out a sigh, "Haa.......
Then again, this kind of thing really does happen, doesn't it?"
I said, and looked at my limbs again, on and on.
The more I look at it, the more I can't believe it.
But I also feel that I have to accept it as a reality. ...... I am such a child who is not even old enough to understand it.
I have snow-white skin, deep blue eyes, and long wavy blonde hair.
My long, wavy blonde hair catches the eye, and I look like a pretty little girl, like a doll.
My eyes are a little sharp, though.
...... I wonder if this is what you call "reincarnation," having vaguely regained memories of a previous life.
I muttered with deep emotion and rubbed the scar on the right side of my forehead.
The day I was disrespectful to the Crown Prince, I hit my head on the back of the wall, fell forward, and got a scar on the right side of my forehead from a toy that was lying on the floor.
It seems that I remembered only a part of the memories of my previous life.
"Only a part" means exactly what it says.
In my previous life, I lived in a country called Japan.
I could remember bits and pieces, such as the cityscape of a world that was more developed than this world.
However, I could not remember my name and other memories related to myself in my previous life.
Still, I still had the feeling that I was an adult, and I guess "Valerie," who I am now, is like a "six-year-old child" who is capable of logical thinking.
Hmmm...is it my destiny in this life to have to solve cases that happen all over the place?
Or, judging from the scar on my forehead, I may be destined to fight against "wizards who have fallen into darkness.
I shook my head lightly.
"I Maybe I read too many light novels and manga in my previous life. But more than that, it's getting tough to read picture books all the time. ......"
I looked at the desk where I had just put the picture books, and saw that it was filled with a large number of picture books that had been read.
At that time, there is a knock at the door of the room.
Not long after that, the father "Burns Erasenise", the mother "Trenia Erasenise", and the brother "Latiga Erasenise" entered the room.
"Valerie, are you feeling well?"
"Yes, father. I am fine now."
I replied with a smile, and the three of them looked relieved.
Then, Mother noticed the picture book I had read through and rolled her eyes.
'Valerie, have you read all of these?"
'Yes. ...... Ah, yes. It was easy to read, so I finished it right away."
Oh, my God, Valerie is so clever. "
The father's face broke into a smile as his mother smiled happily at him.
Soon after, the elder brother saw the two and continued as if frightened.
"Ha-ha-ha. Father and mother have been depressed for a long time, so I'm really glad Valerie is feeling better."
"Mu...... latiga, don't say too many unnecessary things."
"Burns is right, Ratiga."
I couldn't help but smile at the warm exchange between the family members.
Still, thinking back to before I regained my memory, everyone in the family seems to be a bit soft on me.
I feel like I was allowed to do a lot of things that should have been scolded.
Thinking back just a little, memories of all the stupid things I did, such as breaking expensive vases, playing with expensive jewelry, and scribbling on expensive paintings (......), come back to me.
But everyone in the family would laugh and forgive me for what I did, saying things like, "It's no wonder the vase was in such bad shape," or "Playing with jewels is a new game," or "Valerie's paintings are better than mine.
Maybe it's not a big deal, though, given the duke's wealth.
I can't deny that it's a bit too much.
I am sure that if I had not regained my memory, I would have become an outrageously selfish person and people around me would have had a hard time with me. ......?
Well, now that I am who I am, that won't happen in the future.
Afterwards, while the family was chatting and laughing, the father coughed and looked at the elder brother.
The elder brother nodded at the look and turned his attention to me.
"Then . I have swordsmanship practice, so I'll leave you first."
"Yes, I understand. I hope you have a good practice."
My brother nodded at my words with a smile and left the room.
The father and mother's expressions turned a little grim not long after that.
"It might be a bad thing for Valerie, but do you remember the Magnolia Empire's first prince, David, who came to the birthday party the other day?'
Magnolia Empire ...... First Prince David-sama ......?"
I felt something strange as I recited my father's words as if parroting them back to him.
I wonder what it is, as if I am forgetting something very important.
Then, Mother turned her worried eyes toward me.
'Valerie, it's all right. Are you having a hard time remembering?"
"Oh, no, I'm fine. I am fine. Besides, I was selfish that time, and I embarrassed David, and I will have to apologize to him sooner or later.'
"Well, ...... Valerie, I'm surprised you said that."
mother's eyes are black and white as she says this.
Indeed, if it had been me before, I would have been crying.
'Ha ha ......,' I chuckled, and Father cleared his throat.
'That's very kind of you to say so. As a matter of fact, Valerie. Their Majesties took the recent incident very seriously. As a member of the royal family, it has been tentatively decided that you and Prince David will be engaged to take responsibility for the scar on your forehead."
"Oh, ......, an engagement based on a single scar like this?"
I was stunned by the unexpected story and rubbed the scar on the right side of my forehead.
However, Mother was staring painfully at the scar on my forehead.
The scar on the forehead may be a big problem for a young lady as long as there are nobles in this world.
I smiled and nodded, thinking about that.
"Well, I don't really know, but if the engagement with the prince is for the benefit of the duke's family, I will gladly accept it."
The two of them looked puzzled at my answer and then smiled happily.
'I never thought Valerie would say that to me,...... but she is indeed the daughter of mine and Trenia's.'
"Really,...... but it's as if you've changed since that day."
"To ......⁉ Haha. Well, there's no way that's true."
I was surprised by your mother's words, but I smiled and covered it up.
After the three of us had a chat for a while, they left my room.
Alone in my room again, I lay on my back on my bed and meditated.
Still, I never thought I would be 'engaged' at my age, even in another world.
Come to think of it, was I ever married in my previous life?
I try to remember, but I still don't have a clue.
Instead, I suddenly remembered a "certain game" I played a long time ago.
'Come to think of it, I think there was a game I played a long time ago called "Magnolia" ...... what was that game?'
For some reason, I felt I absolutely had to remember it, and I desperately tried to jog my memory.
And at that moment, I huff and turn pale.
'Eh, wait a minute. The Magnolia Empire came up and I'm 'Valeri Errasenise'? And the first prince is 'David Magnolia'? ......⁉"
I rushed to call the maid of the mansion, as I had just gotten myself out of bed with a gasp.
Then, the names and historical data of the surrounding countries.
I looked up the names of the emperors, empresses, and their children.
I was soon convinced that my guess was probably correct.
This world is the same as the world of my long-ago "Cinderella! I played it a long time ago.
I was alone in my room with my head in my hands. Tokimeme Cinderella! Tokimekurera! was supposed to be a " challenging" game with various training and battle elements, even though it was called an Otome's game.
I vaguely remember that the system and balance of the game were popular not only among women, but also among men who liked games.
As the title "Cinderella" suggests, the story was about the main heroine's love affair with royalty.
However, the problem is that there is a "villainess, Valerie Elasenyse," who interferes and torments the main heroine in the story.
She harassed the main heroine, who is also the player in the game, in a number of ways that became more and more violent.
As a result, she is condemned for going too far.
At that moment, there is a knock on my door and I hear my brother's worried voice in the room.
"Valerie, I heard a loud voice, are you all right?"
"Yes, my brother, yes. I am sorry to worry you. I was startled by the ...... bug."
I hurriedly answered through the door, and my brother answered without daring to enter the room.
"I see. But let me know if you need any help. My room is next to yours, you know."
Yes, thank you very much. Brother."
After the conversation was over, it seemed that my brother went straight back to his own room.
I let out a sigh and began to gather my thoughts.
Anyway, I was thinking of "Valeri Erasenise" in "Tokirella! I am sure that I am "Valeri Erasenise" from "Tokirella!
I'm pretty sure that in a typical reincarnation case, for some reason there's a compulsion, and if you don't do anything, you end up suffering the same fate as in the game. ......
The more I put it into words, the more anxious I became.
The absolution is no joke.
The problem is not only for me, but also for my mother, father, brother, and everyone in the house.
If I am condemned, what will happen to everyone?
I am sure that it will be more difficult than I can imagine.
But I'm sure I'll be fine because I have memories of my ...... previous life. If I remember the story and think of countermeasures,......
I mutter to myself to inspire myself, then I meditate and try to recall my memories.
The story ...... story ...... "Tokime Cinderella! Tokirera!" for short. .
Remember...... remember.......
For a while after that, I continued the process of recalling memories.
But the results made me pale.
"I can't remember ...... anything but the basics.!"
After recalling the experience, I found that I had a sense that I had done "Tokirella! a long time ago, and in addition to the names of the characters and the female protagonist, the only thing I could find out was that I myself was a villainous daughter.
I was also able to remember the names of the protagonist and the capture target, as well as the fact that I myself was a villainess.
I've never heard of such a thing as reincarnation with such a half-remembered memory."
I was thinking about it and muttering to myself, when a great idea came to me.
'Yes,...... in a situation like this, I have to repeat the process of getting my memory back!'
I said and took a deep breath as I approached the wall of the room.
I then leaned my back against the wall and vigorously slammed the back of my head against the wall repeatedly.
Each time the impact and pain would be felt, but I would not be able to recall any new memories.
'Kuku...... isn't this way?'
I turned to face the wall, enduring the pain running through the back of my head.
And this time, I smash my forehead repeatedly against the wall with a headbutt.
'Remember, remember, remember, remember, remember ...... remember!
Valerie, what are you doing⁉"
The moment I heard someone's voice, my body was feathered from behind and my headbutt was interrupted.
I screamed in a daze, as if I had head-butted too hard.
'I have to remember! Otherwise, I will be condemned and my father and mother and even my brother will die. And I'm sure your brother will die, too."
"What are you talking about, Valerie? Calm down first!"
I was in a state of shock, and all I could see was the image of my brother.
"Oh, ......."
'Phew...... have you calmed down, Valerie? I was wondering what was going on when suddenly I heard some shouting and some banging on the walls."
Smiling, my brother quickly releases me from the clutches.
Then I huffed and hurriedly bowed my head.
"I am sorry. I'm sorry, brother."
"I'm glad it was before anything happened to Valerie. Now, can you tell me why you did this?"
My brother, who is so kind to me, might believe my story and become my ally.
Thinking this, I looked straight at him.
"I understand. You may not believe me, but I will tell you."
After that, I desperately tried to explain to my brother that the incident the other day had triggered me to regain fragmented memories of my previous life.
When I eventually finished, even my brother's face was drawn.
"I see. That is a story that is hard to believe. ......"
"After all, can't you believe it?"
I don't think he'll believe me,
When I looked down at him, he slowly nodded his head.
"I understand. I believe Valerie's words. But we will keep this matter a secret between us a, and we will do a lot of research together. So don't do anything reckless from now on.'
"......⁉Thank you, brother."
I smiled a big smile at these unexpected words, and my brother laughed happily.
"Haha. I'll go along with you as long as it makes Valerie less reckless."
"I can feel a little thorn in the side of my brother's words. But, I'm looking forward to working with you, brother."
Having thus gained an ally in the form of my brother, I began to take various actions to avoid the condemnation that was to come in the future.
However, my thoughts were shattered again when I met David-sama, the first prince.
"Um, David-sama, m May I ask you again?"
'Hah ...... 'Valeri Elasenise,' don't make me say it again and again. I hate you and do not recognize you as my fiancee. I'm just following the decision of our parents. Remember that. Good-bye."
David-sama, who visited me at the residence of the Duke of Errachenise, said only what he wanted to say when he was alone with me and left.
Apparently, the worst first impression has left a lasting impression on him.
Recalling my behavior before I regained my memory, I exclaimed.
"What should I do from now on⁉"
