Chapter 1: Prologue

-CRASSH!!!

"Stupid bitch! You better die! Die!!!"

The window shattered due to a vase that was thrown, blood was spilled on the floor as the head of the person began bleeding.

"You useless piece of shit! Why can't you do a single thing!!!"

The woman slapped the person and then slam her head on the floor which has broken glass, scarring her white swollen cheek and making it bleed.

The person who was being abused is only 17 years old, she looks at the woman who she called mother.

'Will there be an end...?'

"Laika! I'm sorry! I-it's just if you followed what I said this wouldn't happen to you... I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Mother hurt you, don't worry, I will cook your favorite food okay?"

'Favorite...food? Do I have one...?'

"So, you must follow what I say okay? Don't disobey me again, got that?"

"...."

"Fufufu, Laika is too shy, don't worry, as long as you behave well, your mother will love you ~"

"......I don't love you."

"What?"

Her mother's voice becomes too deep, too distorted that can make any simple person tremble in fear, her eyes are full of madness and not a single guilt can be seen in her expression and movements.

Laika's mother grabs a small wooden chair and slams it into her small body which is full of scars.

Her appearance was like that of a 13-year-old and not a seventeen years old person.

Malnutrition, she even stop school at high school due to the pressure, got bullied due to how she looked, and now her mother was suffering from the craziness.

"You...you!! You're just like your father! I-if only you weren't born! Why does your face look like his? I hate your father and I hate you! Change your face! Change it!"

Laika's mother keeps slamming the chair on her beaten body.

Laika has no strength to move, even a single scream she could not let out of her mouth.

The feeling of pain gradually stop when she was still nine, it is almost ten years since she experience this, and the one happy family turn into something like hell to her.

Her mother did not stop slamming the chair on her, she was already bleeding and she knew some part of her bones was already broken, but she did not know where.

Soon, the chair broke, and the parts of the chair flew around the corner, however, her mother still raise the broken chair, not realizing that it was made of wood, and a nail was completely exposing its sharp point.

As her mother slam it downward, which was pointed at Laika's head, the nail went into her head, as soon as her mother pulled it she unconsciously let go of the wooden chair.

Her mother who was in a rage stiffened and the look on her face could not be described.

"No... No... W-what did I do? L-Laika? N-no...NOO!!! LAIKA!!!"

Laika who could not hear anything anymore only stared at her mother's look and knew what is going to happen to her.

She saw her crying and regretful face.

Laika doesn't know what kind of feelings she has for her mother.

But one thing is for sure...

"...I...don't...hate you..."

But that doesn't mean I also love you...
My love for you was already gone when I turn thirteen.

'I am thankful to you instead...'

"Thank you...for ending my misery in this hell..."

Laika finished talking, her sight began to blur, and her body lost its sense of feel, she gradually welcome the darkness, the abyss that she wanted the most.

'Finally...some rest...'

She died before the day her mother committed suicide.

*

"Dana! The baby is a girl!"

?

"Tch, why a girl..."

??

Laika was confused about what was going on, she can't see anything but can hear the voices of people that comes to her ears.

'... I'm alive?'

"...but, why won't she cry?"

"Is it that important? That's better!"

Said the other person with a weak voice as if she is trying to speak.

"No! She has to cry or else she will have a problem"

As the other person said, who sounds like a woman began to lightly slap Laika's body.

It is not a strong slap and Laika knew this however her body seemed not to agree with her.

"Uungaaa!!!!"

"Ugh!!! Shut her up! I am still reciprocating!"

The other woman said with a clear sign of weakness as even speaking she has to struggle to open her mouth.

"Shhh, shhh, shhh, this one is sorry for slapping you okay? There there."

'What is happening?'

Laika who was still confused did not know what to do, she tried to move her body. To no avail, she did not raise even a bit of her body.

It felt like her bones are not strong and it is still soft like mallow.

"What should we name her?"

"...Zilla."

"What???"

"Did you not hear me? Her name will be Zilla."

"But..."

"What? Look at her, she looks shady, gloomy like those shadows in the corner, and she is not a boy? She should be thankful I will not kill her, I have no choice but to raise that thing."

"Dana, don't say that to your baby..."

"Yeah... Yeah... I guess she is still useful..."

"By the way, what should we do with her?"

What are they talking about?

Sadly, Laika without knowing their mean, she fell asleep without her knowing.

...

I see... Did I got reincarnate?

I guess nothing changed...

It will always have been I guess...

Three years later.

"Zilla, come here..."

"Yes..."

As Laika or Zilla head towards her mother, Dana threw some clothes at her without looking, she lit her cigar and started smoking before saying.

"Suit up, we are going out."

"To where?"

"I don't want you to ask a question because it will only be a hassle, but I guess it's not bad if I say so right?"

Zilla did not speak only nodded her head, it has been three years since she was reincarnated in this world as Zilla Cereus.

In all of those three years, what she experienced is her mother trying to brainwash her.

[Remember this Zilla, get what you like, trample on others to get what you want.]

[You have no choice, you are living with me, and your mother is doing what's best for you...]

[That bitch, one day, when we make it back from that mansion, you must do what you can to gain the attention of your father! Make that bitch daughter miserable!]

And so much useless brainwashing that makes no sense to Zilla.

However this time, she will meet her father whom Zilla's mother is obsessed with for his money.

Zilla's mother's appearance is not above average.

She has brown hair and brown eyes, and freckles on her cheek, in all of those three years, the only thing Zilla knew about her father is that his name is "Zekiel Azal Synburn"

"Go! Change your clothes! Don't waste my time waiting for you!"

"Yes..."

Laika or Zilla began changing clothes, what she was wearing is a white Rag that pass over her still small knees, it has some dirt and some knitted parts.

She tilts her head in confusion wondering what her mother is planning.

She then looks at the mirror, staring at her appearance.

Golden Dust Blonde hair, yellow dull eyes, a dry and rough milky skin.

Zilla found out the reason why she was forced to wear something like this.

'Sympathy?'

Zilla thinks about the possibility of getting the sympathy of the duke.

She shakes her head thinking how foolish her mother's way of thinking is.

'Father... Duke, he is the one ruling a part of a country, and he sees many things on his journey as its ruler of his territory, this kind of foolish play won't make him play along at all...'

At most...

What Zilla thinks next is their incoming death once they reach the place, Zilla did not say her opinion as her words do not matter.

'Parents are always right.'

She still remembers those words and that stick in her body and mind.

Also, one of the reasons why she doesn't want to say it.

'Maybe I can die this time.'

No matter how she wants to die, Zilla only thought of finally being able to rest so she won't feel the burden of being alive, she did not want to commit suicide as Zilla did not fond of it.

In short, without her knowing, Zilla is keeping herself alive but that is slowly dying.

Just like hope but it is never a promise.

So, after suiting herself up, Dana puffed her cigar and started to ungently grab the wrist of Zilla and walk fastly not minding the phasing is a bit too much for the child.

Zilla without knowing the pain in her foot due to the sun's heat. Zilla did not even realize that she stepped on something sharp that made her feet bleed.

As they lay on the carriage, a journey where no one spoke, an hour later, they reach the destination that her mother wanted to see for three years.

"See this Zilla? This is where your mother works as a maid, and becomes the lover of your father, having a one-night stand! Which creates you!

You remember this, once we stepped on foot here, everything, power, title, money... Is ours. So... Follow what mother says okay?"

"Yes."

I understand that you are so delusional, mother.

Zilla knew that the moment they stepped on that gate, death will come to them and she had long accepted it.

'I reincarnate... Please this time, when I died there will be no more reincarnation...'

Her mother head towards the gate where two knights are guarding the place.

"Halt! Who are you!"

Dana who heard this arrogantly puffed her big chest, she introduce herself as a to be the concubine of the duke which made the two knights puzzled.

Later on, a butler in a suit came, he has gray hair and a mustache, Zilla stared at him before looking down while playing with the small stone without minding the bleeding feet.

While Zilla playing with the stone, Dana pointed her finger at Zilla.

Which earn this surprised the butler and immediately asks someone who has the same position as him to call the duke.

He then walked toward Zilla and crouched down the same height as her.

"Hello there, little lady... May this old man know your age?"

"... there..."

The butler sweatdropped as he hear her age and could only grasp.

"Miss Dana... When did you hold her in your stomach?"

"January 3 113"

"... A week before the duchess's pregnancy confirmation...then... May I know when you give birth to a cute child like her?"

The butler already knows Zilla's birthday, but he was still hoping that this could be a lie... However, by the appearance of Zilla, his hope is nothing but fooling himself.

"...September 3 113"

[Zero: May I ask if I'm right about this? I am honestly not sure... I don't know why I feel stupid right now...]

Later on, Zilla was taken to the lounge while the duke meet Dana outside of the mansion, Zilla was then given some cookies and many desserts which she ate despite not knowing the taste.

A moment later, the Duke Came into the lounge, Zilla looked at him, her father, with golden dust hair, and yellow eyes just like hers, he has anger, disdain, and a disgusted expression on his face.

But what Zilla notice the most is the blood on his white hand gloves and a bit of blood on his clothes and cheek.

'Ah, the mother is dead so next is me.'

Zilla just stared at him without voicing out her thought, the duke just staring at her making him want to tear her apart.

Fortunately or unfortunately for Zilla, before the duke killed her a beautiful pale weak woman came, leaning on the door with a sign of weakness and a pale face, she was wearing a silk white dress.

Dark brown hair, green eyes with pale skin...

"Ize... She's innocent...!"

At that moment, Zilla who thought she would die survive thanks to the duchess who treated her as if she were also her child.

But it did not last as a month has pass, and the duchess died.

It is also the start of Zilla's life living in hell, again.
