《A Curious World》Chapter 1: A New Beginning
Advertisement
I open the door to see a magnificent courtyard, filled with greenery and servants tending to them. One of the maids notice me. “The young master has awoken! Quick, call the Madam!”, she yelled.
The other maids notice me too and hustle away.
I scratch the back of my head, sighing. I’m in high society, huh… Well, can’t say I’m unhappy about being in an affluent household, but there’s always the chance I’ll be dragged into troubles unwittingly. It’s not like I can change it anyway, just going to lay low and avoid trouble. Yeap, sounds like a plan.
As I make that silent declaration to myself, a beautiful lady comes running over holding the hems of her skirt. Her entourage struggles to follow her. “My dear Qiu Xue, you finally woke up! Are you still hurting anywhere?” She says as she embraces me, rubbing her cheeks to mine.
I blush. You can’t blame me, alright? She looks in her early 20s, and if you haven’t forgotten, I was 25 previously. I seem much younger now though. Regaining my composure, I ask in a lost tone, “I can’t seem to remember anything…”
She suddenly freezes up. Her smile fades and her left eyebrow twitches.
Did I say anything wrong? Shit. I even made sure not to address her as my mother in case I got the title wrong too.
“Ah, my poor child. Come, let mother tell you what’s going on!” She says as she continues caressing me. Luckily it seems I didn’t screw up.
Filtering out the random details, I am Qiu Xue, a 14 year old child in the Lei Kingdom. My father, Duke Qiu, is an important Duke of the kingdom as he manages half of the military strength of the kingdom. He shares in that role with the Nangong family, and we maintain a cordial relationship with them. As a result of their military powers, our standings are only second to the royal family.

My mother’s name is Yue Xin. She was a commoner before she was married to my father against his family’s wishes. Therefore, to placate his family, my father got engaged and eventually married his second wife, the daughter of a Marquis, Qin Ting. She has 3 children, while my mother only has me.
Also, there’s magic in this world.
I still can’t remember much about my previous life, but I’m strangely excited by this.
