Chapter 3 - Prideful Princess Reborn

It was a place with full of fog and a figure standing at the distance and looking at Aria with love filled eyes

Aria - Who are you?

Guardian Angel - Child, you have faced too much indifference in your life—all because of your so-called 'Goddess' mother. She doesn't deserve the title of a Goddess. But you... you deserve more.

Guardian Angel - This time, I will bless you with the power of a true Goddess. Your mother tainted her divinity with black magic, and it's time you stop her. Have your happy ending, child.

Guardian Angel - With Llyod—the man who begged us for this chance, for you. Don't let her shadow rob you again. This time, go and claim the happiness that is rightfully yours

Aria woke up with a pounding headache. At first, she thought she had died. The memories of his last moments were still vivid—loss, despair, and unbearable pain. But when she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, she froze. She looked... young. Too young.  Her hands trembled as she touched her face, her skin smooth and untouched by the scars life had carved into her. Panic surged through her, and she rushed to check the date. The year. It wasn't possible. She was back in time. A flood of emotions crashed over her —shock, disbelief, and then... hope. For the first time in so long, hope flickered in her chest like a fragile flame.

Aria - Maybe this time 

Aria - I wont drown

Aria - I won't drown. Maybe I can save Llyod... and most importantly, I can live the life I wanted

Resolve hardened her heart. She knew what she had to do. Her first target? Kristha! Kristha Kidrey

Aria - In my past life, it was because of Kristha that all the rumors were spread about me. On top of that, she made sure my mother hated me with every fiber of her being. And most of the time, that woman tortured me—both openly and in secret. 

Aria - As for Regef... haha Regef Trvoi, I won't let you live in peace. The torture, the pain, the betrayal—I will make sure you feel it all again, tenfold. I may still have two years until my marriage to Llyod, but I won't let him lose his powers. I have to act fast. It all starts with Kristha. Honeypot, I promise—I will use every tactic you taught me. We will be happy again. This time, nothing will stand in our way

Maid - Master let me get u ready 

Aria - Hmm

The maid got Aria ready as Aria saw the date it was the date when he was forced to kneel because she stole Kristha's necklace

Wings are supposed to be near to goddess the more close they are the more powerful they get so Olivia made sure all stay in same Mansion

Olivia often pampers Kristha more also believes her more than anyone else 

Aria - This time I'll surely escape my fate and give myself a happy ending

Soon people started searching Aria's room.

Everyone knows how much Aria is hated by her own mother so no one cares about her feeling and the guards find the necklace which Aria already knows to whom it belongs to

Guards - You have to come with us Princess Aria

Aria - Sure *walks with them*

Aria - (Last time, when Kristha told the Goddess that I stole it, she didn't even think twice. Without a single thought, she beat me so badly that I was left barely breathing—just breathing, that's all. She didn't even glance at me after that. It took me a whole month just to walk normally again.

But this time...

This time, I won't let it happen. I'm not weak anymore. I'm strong. I'm the wife of Llyod Cardenis Valentine, and I'll prove it. I'll show you what Aria Cardenis Valentine can do )

Soon Aria was led to the room where Olivia and Kristha both were looking at Aria like she had something wrong

Aria knows the more silent she stays the more they take advantage of her so she decided that she won't stay silent today

Aria standing before them knows how to turn the tides down unlike Aria Hill, she is Aria Cardenis Valentine who knows how to take down the opponent with words without a battle

Olivia - *About to beat her own daughter who she see as obstacle*

Aria - Goddess give me a chance to prove it is not me. I can never go against the wish of the goddess which is itself the order of Goddess

Olivia - *Thinking whether to give a chance or not*

Aria - If it's me at the fault, I'm ready to do anything you ask me to do

That's the catch for Olivia

She always hated the pride Aria holds even though she takes 100's of punishments

Olivia had always wanted Aria to kneel—just like everyone else did before her. To her, submission was power, and power meant control.

But Aria? She never once bowed her head.

For her, kneeling was an honor reserved only for those truly worthy of character and respect. And Olivia? In her eyes, she never measured up. She looked down on her, not out of arrogance, but with quiet, unwavering disdain—a clear reminder that no matter how hard she tried, she could not break her own daughter.

Yet, this time, Olivia was determined.

If Aria wouldn't kneel willingly, she would force her to. So, in a final act of manipulation, she offered her a chance to explain himself—a chance carefully disguised as mercy, but laced with her true intent.

For Olivia, it wasn't about hearing what she had to say. It was about watching her kneel.
