Chapter 1

Princess Royal, the War Goddess, unleashed her fury after the transmigrated woman died tragically in the ancestral chamber.

I am Cassandra Volkov, Princess Royal of Veridia, yet my King, my own father, decreed my death, branding me an ill omen.

It was Luna Blackwood who pulled me from the wasteland of the dead, breathing life back into me, and brought me to the Royal City.

She taught me strategy. She taught me how to wage war.

Luna, with a bright, defiant smile, declared, "Even women can carve out their own destiny."

She also claimed her mission in this world was to protect me and reverse our kingdom's grim fate.

Veridia was plagued by internal dissent and external threats. Luna helped me on the battlefield, forging my fearsome reputation as the 'War Goddess,' until I forced my King to abdicate in favor of my younger brother.

Once her mission was complete, Luna didn't return to her supposed homeland. Instead, she married a man who promised to love her for all eternity.

The moment my brother ascended the throne, enemy nations regrouped and attacked. I led our armies to war.

"Luna, my brother and our kingdom are in your hands."

She smiled, her voice steady. "Don't worry, I'll be here, waiting for your triumphant return."

But when I returned victorious, she was gone.

Gazing at her bloodied corpse in the old family crypt, my rage exploded.
