Chapter 1
I was originally a person from Earth then I was reincarnated as a young lady in another world.
I had a vague memory of my past life, but I started all over again in this new life.
Crawling, walking, talking……
I was beautiful and I was so cute, fresh, and pretty that I had a great time in this life.
I didn’t really use a sword well or have a talent for magic, but it was okay.
Whatever.
If your family is good, rich, and you have a high status, you’ll get married.
There was nothing much to care about, and it was peaceful everyday.
But one day, while I lived a peaceful life, I realized something.
This place is none other than a novel.
‘Of course, fortunately, I wasn’t even a supporting character.’
At first, I felt a little sad that I couldn’t be a female lead or a villain or a supporting friend.
But later, I changed my mind.
It was obvious that if you were close to the original characters, you would be tired for no reason.
So……
‘Let’s live a peaceful life that has nothing to do with the original!’
That’s what I promised.
I don’t know why this happened.
Yes, maybe this is how the story started.
The place where I was reincarnated is called the Goldhark Empire.
The Emperor who ruled the empire had two children.
Prince Nicholas and Princess Nina.
The prince and the princess were born a year apart, and both were the empress’ children.
They were 7 and 6, respectively.
The problem broke out a month ago.
Princess Nina said she wanted to have friends her age.
After hearing the words, the foolish emperor himself picked out a few nobles who matched her age.
However, the princess was not satisfied with that.
Why?
She heard about the Imperial Academy and she wanted to attend and make her own friends there.
However, it was impossible because the academy had an age admission policy.
Early admission required passing a difficult exam.
I thought, “You’re a princess, so why don’t you just change the rules?” But she didn’t like the idea of changing the rules.
If she changes the rules, she’d be the only one who enters the school at that age.
The Emperor himself founded the Imperial Kindergarten, a school with an admission age lower than that of the Imperial Academy.
But the kindergarten was strict with admission and very few of the selected family’s children were allowed to attend.
That was expected since the princess’s safety comes first and allowing anyone to enter the Kindergarten would jeopardize that.
It’s not an institution that will last long anyway, rumor has it that when the princess is old enough to officially enter the Imperial Academy, the Kindergarten would close down.
Of course, when I heard the rumor, I did not know that I would be included among the few people who would attend the Imperial Kindergarten.
“Mir! I missed you!”
“Welcome, Jake.”
Shortly after I heard the rumor, my childhood friend Jake came to visit.
Jake Teon.
The only son of the Duke of Teon.
He also appeared in the novel as a supporting character for the male lead, Nicholas.
Of course, he’s my childhood friend now.
Hahaha.
At first, I thought it would be difficult to get close to such a noble, but because of the close relationship between our families, we became friends who spoke informally and played together.
Anyway, I still have a long way before I make my social debut, so my only friend was Jake.
While playing hide-and-seek with him, I heard a strange noise.
It was a sound from the drawing room.
“So… admission to kindergarten……”
“With Emir……”
What’s he saying?
It was hard to hear because the door was closed.
I was confused by the few words I heard.
The tagger, Jake, approached me asking why I wasn’t hiding.
Fortunately, Jake was so alert that he noticed me eavesdropping on the conversation and whispered.
I shrugged and continued listening, but when the topic of conversation shifted to another subject, I stopped listening.
‘Strange. I’m sure my name just came up.’
I didn’t hear enough so I couldn’t guess what the story was.
I shook my head and walked away quietly with Jake.
A moment later, when the drawing room was out of sight, Jake asked again.
“Why weren’t you hiding, Mir? Is today an invisible man concept?”
“No, it’s not that…… The Duke and my parents were talking in there. But you know, my name suddenly came up.”
I was feeling uneasy.
I couldn’t say that so I kept my mouth shut.
I didn’t want to say anything out loud just in case speaking out the words might make it a reality.
“Oh, that.”
“……”
Suddenly, Jake spoke up confidently.
Of course, the words from Jake’s mouth shocked me.
“Mir and I are entering kindergarten.”
“What!”
I was so surprised that my legs got weak and I fell on my butt.
“Are you all right, Mir?”
It was definitely me who fell, but Jake was more surprised and he reached out with his hands to help me up.
I stood up without saying anything, my mind went blank and it felt as if my mind was detached from my body.
What do you mean kindergarten?
Why should I go to kindergarten again?
I already graduated in my previous life.
“Hahhhhhhhhhh……”
Eventually I gave a long sigh.
Next to me, Jake was fidgeting, thinking I had a sore hip.
But my bewilderment was greater than the pain, so I couldn’t feel anything.
Hey, no one asked me for my opinion……?
When did I say I wanted to go to kindergarten!
