Chapter 1

Awakened by the light streaming through the window and the chirping of birds, the girl opened her eyes.

Her body felt heavy, and her head was fuzzy.

But then, the memories came flooding back, and the girl sat up abruptly.

"…I was supposed to have been pushed off the tower…"

Muttering to herself, the girl looked at her palms.

There were no wounds, and she felt no pain when she sat up.

Her memory cut off when she was pushed off the tower and fell to the ground.

Was she saved before hitting the ground? Or was being pushed off the tower just a dream?

"Indeed… at the graduation party, the prince found his true love and broke off the engagement… and I was falsely accused and confined to the penitence tower…"

Memories began to resurface in the girl’s mind.

At the graduation party of the Royal Academy, her fiancé, the crown prince, announced that he had found his true love with a baron’s daughter and broke off the engagement.

Furthermore, a prince from a neighboring country proposed to her, causing the party to descend into chaos, and she was falsely accused and imprisoned in the tower by the crown prince’s henchmen.

And she was supposed to have been pushed off the tower.

"But, this place… Father… Elvis… no, wait… what… what…?"

As she tried to figure out where she was, the girl suddenly realized something.

The eighteen-year-old duchess’s daughter, Adeline, had her engagement broken off and was pushed off the tower.

But she, the girl, was now fifteen-year-old Princess Cecilia.

Her memories were in disarray.

The girl took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to sort out the situation.

As she recalled her memories, the less-than-ideal life she had lived as a princess from birth until today came flooding back.

Her memories cut off when she fell ill with a high fever.

It seemed she was indeed Princess Cecilia.

"But… these memories…"

However, there was another set of memories.

The memories of the duchess’s daughter, Adeline.

When she woke up, these memories had overwhelmed her, but now she could recall them more calmly.

She remembered being the eldest daughter of the duchess’s family and dying on the day of the Royal Academy’s graduation party.

"Could it be… the Goddess’s forgotten one…?"

In this country, it was said that the people were under the protection of the Goddess and that their souls were eternal.

People were believed to be reborn into a new, fresh life after their lifetime ended.

However, when starting a new life, the memories of the previous life were usually lost, but in very rare cases, the memories remained.

It was said that this happened because of strong regrets or because one’s intended role was not fulfilled in the previous life, but the exact cause was unknown.

It was simply called the Goddess’s forgotten one, as if the Goddess had forgotten to erase the memories.

There were very few records of the Goddess’s forgotten ones in the temple, but it was a common plot device in novels and plays.

Stories of lovers who were torn apart and were reborn to fulfill their past desires were popular.

Cecilia had read stories featuring the Goddess’s forgotten ones and suspected that her current situation matched this scenario.

In stories, memories often resurfaced during near-death experiences or other shocking events. Since Cecilia had a high fever, it might have triggered the memories of her past life.

"But… of all things… why did this happen to me…"

Cecilia concluded that she was likely the reincarnation of the duchess’s daughter, Adeline, and held her head in her hands.

The crown prince, Logan, who was Adeline’s fiancé, broke off the engagement and chose the baron’s daughter, Helena.

Afterward, Crown Prince Logan and Baron’s daughter Helena were married and had a daughter.

The daughter born to the crown prince and princess was named Cecilia and was raised as a princess.

Of all things, Adeline, who had been betrayed by the two, was reborn as their daughter, Cecilia.
