"Anabelle, why aren't you up now?"

A loud voice hit my eardrums.

"Is it time for you to do this? You have to wake up early in the morning and train!"

Reid screamed while flinging the door open.

"This is our last chance! If you don't win first place in the swordsmanship competition again, you're nothing but an illegitimate child abandoned forever!"

I sighed and turned my head in bed.

My light purple hair moved.

"Why the hell are you lying around without going to the training ground for a few days? Are you out of your mind?"

'Of all things, I can't believe I was born with this role...'

A few days ago, a big change occurred in my life, which I had lived to the fullest.

I suddenly remembered my previous life.

I even realized that the world I live in is in a book I've read.

Frustrated by the fact that I was born as a character in a book and the future that had already been set, I locked myself in my room for several days.

At first, I refused to admit it, but my memories gradually became clearer and my former self became completely fused.

If I had been born as a villainess who had a crush on a man, it would not have been this difficult, for I can just quit my unrequited love and live a different life.

Besides, if I had known that I was reincarnated, what would suddenly come to mind in the spring of 22 years old?

I have been faithful to the original work for twenty-two years and worked hard to build up all the karma.

"Are you going to lose to Ian Wade again?"

My reborn role, Annabelle Nadit, was Ian's rival.

No, only Annabelle saw Ian as her rival. He didn't care about her.

Because Ian is in the first place and Annabel is in second place.

The Imperial Swords Competition was a huge event held every four years.

A title was awarded to the person who wins first place.

But the problem was that the prize was only given to the first place.

'The dirty world only remembers the first place and it's the same here and there.'

There was even an age limit of under 24.

'It's the same. If you're older, you don't even have a chance later on.'

I'm now 22, so this swordsmanship tournament in a few minutes will be my last chance.

"You deserve a title at all costs!"

Reid screamed once again.

I'm an illegitimate child of Marquis Abedes, one of the highest nobles in the empire.

In order for illegitimate children to be recognized as part of the noble families, they had to earn their own titles.

With my mother's death, my guardian became Reid, my brother from another father.

Ever since I showed a gift for swordsmanship since I was a child, Reid's goal is to win the title and proudly become a member of the family.

"How long are you going to live like this?"
