Monster Princess

Episode 1

1. Monster Princess On The Verge Of Destruction

My half-sister, whom I saw for the first time in a while, was at the end of the hallway.

“What are you doing there?”

“Sister Bella!”

Chloe, the second princess with her eyes wide open, looked back at me with her blue hair fluttering like water.

A line of maidens lined up beside her politely bowed at me.

“I see you, the first princess. May Kamulita’s blessing and protection be with you, and the glory of the empire …”

“Oh, thank you.”

I was already tired of the greeting that was sure to continue for a long time, so I just stopped them in the middle of talking.

They were all aristocrats by name, but they immediately shut up without complaining about every word I said.

I was only a fourteen-year-old little girl, but the power of the imperial family’s name was so great.

“I was trying to punish this vulgar thing for defiling my eyes.”

Chloe had a triumphant face, just like a cat that cornered a mouse.

Hearing her voice, I shifted my gaze again.

Then a small girl standing in front of Chloe came into view.

This is the first scene I saw as soon as I had ‘that dream’. Could this be called fate in a sense?

“I’m seeing the first princess.”

When our eyes met, the child bowed to me quickly and greeted me.

It was the first time I had seen this child so close.

‘She must have turned 12 years old this year.’

Long black hair like ebony and dark golden eyes like amber jewels. Her body, crouching, looked very thin while clutching her skirt tightly.

Standing with her head down like a sinner, this girl was the illegitimate child of our father from a slave.

Nevertheless, fortunately, she has the most perfectly gifted characteristics of the imperial family and was also a child whom the other princes and princesses, including Chloe, hated.

Even so, it was certainly too much to punish her simply for being in a conspicuous place.

But a child, younger than Chloe, is just biting her lips and didn’t even make a word of protest. She didn’t even know that it was useless.

“Even so, I don’t feel so good since this morning, but a dirty thing is in front of my eyes. How dare you use the same path as the Imperial family, or is it that you don’t know me?”

This half-princess, whom Chloe is looking at with great contempt, is named Judith Kamulita. Being born with low origins, she has no middle name.

‘By fate, I’d soon be bothering this kid like Chloe.’

I looked down at the child with my head down and opened my mouth.

“This child is our sister whom our father has acknowledged, so I think she deserves to use this path.”

“What, what? What do you mean, sister!”

Chloe screamed when she heard me seeming to defend Judith. The people around us were also surprised.

Knowing and ignoring it, I looked back at Chloe and smiled casually.

“More than that, Chloe, I’m afraid you haven’t been feeling well since morning. It’s been a while since we met like this because I’ve been busy. If you don’t have any other plans, why don’t we go have tea and have a chat?”

I still have a pretty good reputation among the imperial family, so no one can easily turn down my request if I invited them first.

It’s the same with Chloe, she frowned for a while before finally accepting my invitation.

“Good, today’s tea time will be held in the first imperial palace.”

She has a pale face, but it was obvious that she was feeling better than before.

“Marina, take her to the palace.”

Before leaving with Chloe, I had my closest maid take care of Judith.

Before turning around, I met eyes with the child looking at me with open eyes. However, the child bowed her head as if she had been surprised, so it didn’t take long for our eyes to meet.

While walking back, a strong gaze seemed to be sent again down my spine, perhaps because of my mood.

Judith Kamulita.

According to the book I saw in my dream, that little girl behind me now was the heroine of this world.

And Judith’s half-sister, Arbella Leon Kamulita, was destined to be her biggest rival from the first day.

To add a brief explanation, she’s the villain who hated her sister for threatening her position and even touching forbidden magic.

And as a side effect, she became a horrible monster who knows nothing but slaughter and lose her life to a terrible end. 

It was me, Arbella, who was not even worth such ridicule.

I let out a laugh mixed with despondency between my lips.

No, I can’t believe that such a miserable future is mine, and even worse, such a shabby kid like that would take all of what’s mine?

This is ridiculous.
