Chapter 5: Inglis, 5 years old
Since that fateful incident, the days had been peaceful… Five years had gone by since King Inglis’ reincarnation as a baby girl, also named Inglis. Inglis spent her first few years as a completely ordinary baby. After all, being trapped in a fragile body that was difficult to control and easily subjected to drowsiness could only afford her being nothing more than ordinary. She had only recently regained a bit of the control of her muscles. That being said, it was still the weak, young body of a child. Let’s train other areas of my body whilst waiting for it to develop. And that was how she spent her days.
「……」
The sight of the 5-years-old Inglis was seen reflected in a large mirror. Inglis had mystically silver-colored hair and brilliant red eyes — the color of which resembled a flower. It was a phenomenally charming profile of a little girl, even from an objective point of view. Everything about her was particularly dazzling. She would surely become a peerless beauty in the future.
Good heavens, I have certainly been reborn into one endearing creature. I wished I had a granddaughter like this.
Her mind immediately thought of that since she didn’t have a child in her previous life. She had initially thought that she would be reborn as a man, thus, being reincarnated as a female came as a big surprise to her. However, she couldn’t possibly complain to have it reverted now of all time after five years had passed.
Inglis decided to take this as the goddess’ sign to encourage her — wherein she wouldn’t be flustered by other women and could focus on the path of a warrior! As one would expect, having the body of a male meant that you’d be prone to distraction by females. Perhaps, this was the better choice if she wanted to be a dedicated warrior.
In addition, when she looked at her own smile, it was so cute it soothed her heart. 1 Once she had gotten used to it, it was still nice in its own right. With that thought lingering in her mind, Inglis traced her smile on the mirror.
「Oh dear, Lil’ Glis really likes her mirror.」 2
「Doesn’t she, sis? Even though she’s an outstandingly brilliant and obedient child, this behavior of hers is just beyond me.」
