Volume 0 Chapter 3 - Memories of an Unfortunate Princess (1/2)

It took quite a bit of time and effort for Bella to bring the dame’s body back to St. Emilia church.

It would have taken much longer if it weren’t for the giant bone eagle that Angel had summoned.

“Hey, I have a question! Why does it have to be me that replaces her? Why can’t one of you do it?” Bella asked curiously, bringing the body to the empty area in the center of the church.

“Sister, the replacement must have a similar build to the original owner, so there’s no way we fit that criteria.”

Mia helplessly explained it to Bella while ordering Angel to place various types of bones in formations on the ground for the ritual.

Bella then noticed that the height of the knight was at least 170cm, similar to her own.

The knight’s golden hair came down in waves down to her waist, and her cup size looked to be approximately the same as Bella’s.

It had taken Mia three hours to finish the array, even with Angel’s help.

“Alright, I finally finished the magic formation! Sister Bella and little Angel, make sure you stand where I tell you to.”

“Right here?”

“Yep! Sister, just stay there and don’t move! You too angel! Just stand there while I chant the spell and then give me a drop of blood when I tell you to.”

Bella grabbed the oddly shaped dagger and walked towards her designated position in the array; the three of them surrounded the body of the knight in a triangular formation.

Mia took out one of her thick tomes and began to rapidly chant a spell. Bella didn’t understand a single word of it, but from Angel’s attentiveness, it looked like she was able to understand.

Bella was afraid of exposing the fact that she had zero knowledge of magic, so she pretended to understand as well.

The spell sounded rather gloomy as she chanted. After listening for a while, Bella started seeing things; their surroundings were no longer the eerie church, but a bustling city. Bella immediately recognized it as her previous world. Did I crossover again? She was just about to move out of her spot when she noticed that Angel and Mia had not moved.

She then saw a drunk man walking down the busy streets and froze with shock. It was her in the previous world; she had gotten drunk at a dinner party and woke up after that in this one.

Bella quickly spotted a speeding sedan that had lost control fly towards the man, it looked like the driver was also under the influence. It was sure to be game over for the drunk man, but at that moment, Bella almost let out a scream and the world suddenly went black.

Bella looked nervously at Angel and Mia, but luckily for her, they didn’t react to what was happening in their surroundings, their eyes instead locked on the knight at the center of the formation. What Bella had seen was probably memories of her previous life, which the two of them didn’t see. This saved her a lot of explaining on why she was so worked up.

At this time, the chant that was so gloomy did a full 180, becoming a cheery, happy tone; the surroundings quickly turning into a forest flourishing with flowers and wildlife.

This was probably the memories of the female knight.

Mia looked around with a surprised expression on her face. It seems that she and Angel were able to see the changes this time, and the changes weren’t what they expected, but didn’t have an effect on what would happen.

Mia then gestured with her eyes towards Bella and Angel, and they each grabbed the odd dagger that Mia had given them earlier and cut their fingers to squeeze out a drop of blood. The blood floated towards the center of the array and combined to form one before dripping over the heart of the knight.

Bella was really shocked when she cut her finger; a single drop of black blood flowed from her wound before being immediately healed. She then looked at the blood of the other two and noticed that Angel’s drop was pure white, while Mia’s was dark blue.

It seemed that none of them had normal blood coloration, which actually made her feel relieved.

…

Octavio Felia, daughter of one of Coristel continent’s five most emperors. The illegitimate daughter of Octavio XII, emperor of the Octavian Empire(Knights). Held the title of 9th Princess, but her identity as the daughter of a simple palace servant caused the emperor to mistreat her.
