Chapter 2

I am Anya, a princess of the Spirit Fox Clan. Our clan had lost the battle for territory against the Beastkin Federation.

Father King decided that Seraphina and I would undertake a strategic marriage with the Beastkin to preserve the strength of our Spirit Fox Clan.

At this very moment, in the great hall, Father King, just like in my previous life, had us choose our prospective husbands.

On the enchanted scrying mirror sent by the Beastkin Federation, the proud and majestic Crown Prince of the Serpent Clan and the unsightly Prince of the Lycan Clan were clearly visible.

I was still lost in the memories of my previous life when Seraphina, unable to contain her eagerness, spoke first: "Father King, I choose this fierce-looking Lycan Prince. Don't let my little sister face such a terrifying Beastkin."

Seraphina's demeanor seemed thoughtful and concerned, but her eyes subtly betrayed a steely resolve, as if she was absolutely certain of her choice. Seeing her like that, I knew my sister had been reborn, just like me.

In my previous life, Seraphina chose the Serpent Crown Prince. But that seemingly distinguished and powerful Serpent Crown Prince was, in fact, frail. He tragically died after being struck by powerful lightning during his transformation. Seraphina was reduced to a mere plaything for the Serpent Princes, her life a living hell.

Meanwhile, the Lycan Prince I had married unexpectedly received a rare chance to transform early into a formidable and dominant Lycan King, successfully becoming the leader of the Lycan Clan.

I was revered as the Lycan Queen, bearing him eight children and living in unparalleled favor and prestige.

So, in this life, she had completely changed her approach, choosing the Lycan Prince whom she had previously despised.

Father King, hearing her profound and noble words, nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at me.

Because of Seraphina's long-term oppression, I always presented a fragile facade of meekness to others.

At this moment, I feigned ignorance and lowered my head, 'thanking' my sister for her supposed generosity.

But where no one could see, I trembled with excitement.

As Seraphina walked past me, she whispered, just loud enough for only the two of us to hear: "Little sister, the Serpent men, uh... they really *value* their women. You'll find quite the 'blessing' waiting for you there, little sister."

She watched my stunned expression, offered a mysterious smile, and walked away.

But what she didn't know was that I was practically dancing with joy inside.
