All about death being a mystery until Selena's death in the first life, and reincarnation in the second life while bringing the memories of the first life.
Selena herself does not remember why she died.
Selena, who carries memories from infancy, sees her mother's face happily. He always tried to stick to Aelia and get used to the medieval ancient life that existed in the history lessons.
Aelia would sometimes give affection for her two children, but if she saw or heard the Emperor, she would dump her two children.
The woman who has the voice, face and body of her biological mother has the same traits in Selena's memory.
"Has the Emperor had breakfast?"
"How is the Emperor now?"
"Why can't I see the Emperor today?"
"I'm Empress! How dare you stop me from meeting the Emperor?!"
"Emperor can't talk like that!"
Selena had to hear her mother's screams in the Emperor's palace.
Seeing her mother who is healthy and can walk at will, makes Selena's heart happy and sad.
You always see Dad, can't you see me?
Only that sentence was in Selena's mind.
One day, Selena asked her mother who had finished her duties as Empress. He took his mother for tea in the imperial garden.
"Mom, today she said she was busy. Can I help?"
"No need, you just learn, Selena."
Selena, who was blinded by affection for her mother, did not consider the words Aelia made rude.
Aelia was getting angry more and more, because the concubines were more obedient to the queen.
Aelia who wants to discuss the matter of birthdays, must succumb to her mother's actions.
"Cassia's birthday is a disgusting day for me, I will never forget how the concubine was happy to have given birth to the Emperor's son."
Aelia only remembers her anger, but does not remember Selena's birthday.
Selena just quietly listened to mom, it's okay to miss a birthday without celebration or blowing candles. He was traumatized in the past.
The most important thing for Selena is to see her mother can do whatever she likes, rather than just being in the room and tied up.
Selena in the second life who carries the memories of the first life, does not really care anymore about birthdays.
This misunderstood the nobles and led to rumors that Selena's daughter was not loved by either the Emperor or the Empress.
Anxious Aether scolds her sister in Selena's room. "Are you sure you don't celebrate birthdays?"
"I don't want to be hated by Mom."
"But, Mom just remembered the hate. Should you tell mom about birthdays, or should I just say it?"
"No need!"
"But Selena the nobles"
"I SAID NO NEED!" snapped Selena. "I don't want to celebrate a birthday."
"Selena."
Selena's tears came down her cheeks. "I don't want to celebrate a terrible birthday."
"How can you say such a thing?" Aether felt the same heartache towards her sister. "Never say anything horrible again!"
Selena cries in Aether's arms. "I hate celebrating my birthday!"
"Yes, we're not going to celebrate anymore."
Selena did not want to blow out the candles and say empty wishes anymore, no matter what the crowd said, she would never celebrate a birthday.
However, what was his hope was not fulfilled.
The emperor goes to war, the empress is locked up in the tower on a charge that makes no sense to Aether and Selena.
Selena ran to the queen's palace and asked. "Your Majesty, what did you do to the Empress?"
"The Empress committed an unforgivable crime."
"But-"
"No need to worry." The queen who was trying on a new dress, glanced at Selena who was standing behind her through the mirror. "We are waiting for the Emperor."
Selena thins her lips.
The queen turned around and walked over to Selena. "Dear Selena, all this time the Empress has never cared for you, huh."
Selena brushed off the hand of the queen who was about to touch her. "What are you doing?"
"Oh, baby. Since the Empress is too selfish, you're so ignorant of affection, Cassia's birthday is soon, you'll be celebrating together." The queen looked at Selena's pity.
Selena walked back and turned and ran away from the queen.
One of the concubines standing near the queen, scorned. "Look, even Selena's daughter can't say thank you, doesn't that mean the Empress never cared about her children?"
The queen smiled in satisfaction and then issued an order. "Because I'm currently in charge of the palace, so lock Selena into the princess' palace until the birthday party."
The palace knights immediately carried out the queen's orders.
The queen turned back and looked back at the mirror with a happy face and a satisfied heart.
That same day Selena was locked up in the princess' palace, not allowed to visit the tower where the empress was locked up.
Selena was frustrated, even Aether couldn't visit her sister for a far-fetched reason.
"Princess Selena's on a trip for a birthday party."
Aether who heard the reason of one of the queen's minions, became angry yet helpless. "Since when did Selena care about her birthday? The Queen only wanted to show bad intentions by vilifying the Empress, after all, the birthday is still seven months away!"
No one cared about the crown prince's anger, until Selena's birthday party was held sooner than Cassia.
Cassia whines at the queen for not wanting to celebrate together until the queen advances the date.
All the nobles were present, Selena was not enthusiastic and only saw the tower where her mother was.
The nobles of her age only thought Selena was crazy while the older ones did not dare to bother.
Throughout the event Selena just stood staring at the tower, unwilling to listen to any speech. Aether keeps Selena at close range, so that nothing bothers her.
Aether wants to prove that their mother will be okay.
But...
The tragedy repeated.
Selena banged on the window. "MOTHER! MOMMY!"
The nearby nobles suddenly looked at the window.
The empress threw herself down from the top of the tower, the knights below gathered under the tower as if waiting for the death of the arrogant empress and loved to abandon children.
The women screamed to see the empress perform reckless actions.
"Far from the window! The empress was arrested for rebellion!" Shouted the queen who echoed inside the hall. "The crown prince as well as princess Selena are being held in a dungeon!"
Selena laughed and turned around, looking at her brother with anger and tears. "I told you not to celebrate your birthday! Why aren't you listening?"
Aether is guilty. "Teen-"
Selena wiped away the tears and screamed in anger. "YOU'RE ALL KILLERS! YOU KILLED MY MOTHER!"
"CELINE!" Aether pulls Selena into her arms. The queen's knights, capturing Aether and Selena.
