Second Female Leads' Playbook

Was this what afterlife looked like? The exact copy of your past life, but restarting at the point before everything turned into ashes? Giving you another chance to make a totally different choice?

I was back to 4 years ago. The year when I had been 16. Wait... I was 16 now. My parents and brothers were still alive.

I didn't understand what had happened.

But another chance was given to me, I would be a fool not to grasp it. I needed to change the future. I would make sure that my beloved family stay alive. I would.

The first thing to do was to break off my engagement with King... Prince Sebastian. People might ask why. Don't you want to be the future Queen? Don't you like Prince Sebastian? I had tried in my previous life. I tried. It failed.

I was not and would never be Queen material. I was quiet and awkward around those I was not close with. Even though I had learned to disguise my awkwardness in front of guests, I was still not talkative. I was not charming. People didn't like me. Neither did King Sebastian. I had been left day in and out in my room when there were no social engagements. He seldom talked to me. I was lonely and sad. And then there were those accidents...

I could stand the loneliness, but the talks and looks... And the fact that he didn't help me even when I had begged for help. It's too much. I was not suitable and it's best to break off the engagement before everything started.

By breaking off the engagement, I could leave the kingdom with my family before tragedy stroked.

But, Sebastian... Sebastian he really did not deserve that kind of ending. He had been a good King.

Is there a way of telling him everything that will happen in the future without exposing myself? I thought to myself.
