If there is such a thing like a next life, I wish I would be born with a golden spoon.
But are they granting my wish so early? A sense of being alive was conveyed by the clear consciousness and the pain that stabbed through my body.
“…a mistake… the method….”
A low-pitched voice that was pleasant to hear muttered something.
I couldn’t hear well because my ears were deaf.
I couldn’t see because my vision was blurry, but I was a little frustrated because I couldn’t hear it.
One thing that’s clear is that I’m alive.
I think I heard the word ‘Alicia’ clearly.
“.…medicine…..”
As I was silently listening to the words I couldn’t hear well, something cold touched my forehead.
A white object moved beyond my blurred vision.
Omg, I thought it was a wall all this whole time.
A doctor? A white gown?
I couldn’t see or hear well, so I let my imagination run wild. But I couldn’t see it right away, but my eyes were open, so I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.
In fact, I thought I would be able to escape from the pain a little if I slept.
After sleeping soundly, fortunately, I could see clearly this time.
My whole body was still sore and had no energy, but when I clenched my teeth and gave strength, my body moved.
“Umm.”
An unfamiliar ceiling and an empty room.
The ceiling was full of cobwebs, and except for the bed on which I was lying, there was only a wooden table and a sofa that seemed dusty if it was sat down.
It seemed that no one had been using it for a long time, as there was a musty smell and a blanket covering it.
‘I wonder, this familiar smell’
It was the smell I smelled for 29 years.
It’s the smell of poverty.
“Dwamn it.” (Damn it)
I spat out abusive language like a habit, but I was surprised and covered my mouth with my hands.
It was definitely what I said as usual.
However, my husky voice sounded cute, making me feel guilty for no reason.
The short-tongued tone that seems to say, ‘Oho, a child can’t say that!’
My tongue felt particularly short. Normally, it was a curse that should have been very sharp.
I bowed my head out of anxiety.
Then I saw short arms and legs that could not be mine.
“Aahaha.”
She laughed but the corners of her lips did not rise.
It was a laugh that comes out when she was speechless.
Growl-
It was when I was spacing out because I couldn’t easily grasp the situation.
A white and black object on the floor opened its large mouth wide and wept lowly, as if to confirm my existence.
A white body with black stripes. Fierce golden eyes and terrifyingly sharp teeth were seen when the mouth opened.
It was a white tiger that could not be easily seen even in zoos.
Why is that here?!
As if I had forgotten to breathe, I trembled my lips and lay back in bed.
I didn’t read it, but I did the action of an old fairy tale that comes to mind.
‘Pretend to be dead, you have to pretend to be dead.’
It didn’t matter why such an animal was in this room.
Didn’t you open your mouth wide with ferocious eyes a little while ago?
I put aside the question of why I opened my eyes in such a place with a body that became young and had to face a white tiger after I had a car accident in the middle of Seoul.
Whether it’s an unbelievable reality or whatever, you have to live to know first.
‘Hiik, What the, What is this?’
I felt a shadow cast over my head.
I closed my eyes and put strength on my lips and inhaled.
That was the only thing I could do.
To where do you escape when you’re small? I don’t think my ten steps will be a step of the white tiger’s.
Rather than running away for no reason and irritating the white tiger’s mood, I hope it’ll be interested in leaving me, quietly covered with a blanket like this.
I hope I’m not the white tiger’s immediate food, but an emergency food that will be eaten someday.
“… Did your mind also became younger?”
“Th- thwe whith thiger ish tahking?” (Th- the white tiger is talking?)
At the moment, I shouted in surprise at the words I heard above my head.
To be honest, I thought a white tiger could possibly talk since my body also became younger. Now I really don’t know what’s what!
I saw with my eyes open without organizing my complicated mind, it was a doll.
Uh? God? Fairy?
If not, am I dreaming or something?
“…..Alicia.”
The low-pitched voice gave me goosebumps.
For some reason, his voice felt somewhat familiar and strange.
He had his long white hair hanging down and he was wearing a strange white outfit, with sharp gold eyes, just like the white tiger.
A hard, expressionless expression on his face made him look less human.
I felt like I saw a god that appeared in a myth.
Looking blankly, his red lips was the only stimulating color on him.
“Alicia.”
My name is not Alicia.
But when he called, my body flinched automatically as if my instinct was saying that it was calling me.
When I pointed at myself and said, he sent me a look saying who else is here except you.
Then he casually reached out and placed his hand on my forehead.
What the hell is this situation?
I rolled my eyes hard, but all I could see was a man standing with a crazy appearance and a white tiger lying on the floor yawning.
“The fever went down.”
“Ah.”
“You should rest for the time being.”
“Ah.”
“Do you remember anything?”
“Ah?”
I wasn’t even dumbfounded by the slow-talking man, but I couldn’t say anything other than ‘Ah.’
I mean, what do I need to know to talk?
I haven’t even figured it out yet.
“Why am I….”
What should I ask?
Why did I became younger? That I’m not Alicia? What should I ask? Who are you? I had so many questions. By the way, I was also quite worried about whether I would be able to ask a question properly with a crushed pronunciation.
He answered it first, as he was frowning and groaning.
“You drank poison”.
“I guess you don’t remember.”
Poison he said.
I stared up at him blankly.
I was in a car accident though? What do you mean drink?
I still clearly remembered the situation at the moment of death. What do you mean, don’t remember anything?
However, considering his attire, appearance, and my young body, something was definitely wrong.
As I only blinked with my mouth open, he stared as if he was right.
It seemed to have already been concluded that way.
‘No- fine, I don’t know anything right now, so it might be better to say I don’t remember.’
At first glance, it was not a familiar room and even the scenery was unfamiliar. In a ridiculous reality where the body is younger, if you pretend to know hastily, you may be in a difficult situation.
29 years of poverty. Sometimes it’s better to pretend you don’t know even if you know or pretend you don’t know more if you don’t know.
There is no such thing as knowing for no reason is medicine.
“I- I dwon’t rwemember.” (I- I don’t remember)
As if confused, I shook my head and performed a passionate performance.
Then he grabbed my head and held my waving hand.
His hand holding my wrist was surprisingly cold. To the point where I wonder if it’s human body temperature.
“Okay, don’t shake it.”
He believed me when I said I didn’t remember. It was originally an option he suggested. Because I felt his silent gaze’s pressure saying ‘You lost your memory? Right?’
Yes, on second thought, the meaning was implied in the gaze.
However, I thought he would explain the current situation for the day, saying I had lost my memory, but he left the room after saying not to shake my head.
I was embarrassed and wanted to jump out of bed and chase him right away, but there was a bed that was too high for me and a white tiger, who was still dozing off on the floor.
Without knowing anything, I was locked up in the room.
You’re not even trapped in a room.
Damn it, I’m trapped on the bed.
With an absurdly absent-minded look, a beautiful man like a doll only looked at the door.

‘Alicia Edharth.’
She is now 20 years old, becoming an adult*. Born in the Heter Empire, She is the princess of Duke Edharth.
TL/N : In Korea 20 years old is the age when you are considered an adult.
Her husband is the 8th Prince of the Vald Empire, Kion Vald.
‘To say that this is an explanation………’
I laughed in vain after reading a piece of paper that was not even half filled.
The man with white hair and crazy looks named Kion, who was Alicia’s husband.
Yes, I’m Alicia, and he is my husband.
“Huh.”
It was a ridiculous situation.
I thought I died in an accident, but I woke up to someone else’s body.
Perhaps at the same time, Alicia died after drinking extreme poison.
At that time, it seems that my soul entered the empty body of Alicia.
Even this is a completely different world, is that possible?
‘Otherwise, it can’t be explained.’
In addition, strangely, even though I don’t remember anything, I can converse well and the text was read smoothly.
Even if I think about it complicatedly, I lacked the knowledge to deduce it.
Anyway, it happened by chance, but in the process of drinking the poison and saving it, there was something similar to a slight aftereffect.
The aftereffects were the younger body.
It was the result of several things intertwined rather than one thing intertwined.
I got the body of Alicia, who became so young.
‘Phew, my head hurts.’
It took three full days to reach the current conclusion.
In fact, it was an inference that could come out quickly if I thought hard for a day.
If only Kion hadn’t brought me something like a character description I read a while ago, even a few hours ago.

This article, which has only three lines, was only given to her today, three days later.
‘He probably didn’t write this down after thinking about it for three days when I said I didn’t remember, right?’
I shook my head when I remembered him sticking out a sheet of paper with a stiff expression and leaving silently.
No way, I’m sure he forgot and remembered it only today.
