Immortal Witch: Eldest Daughter Of A Duke

I was an orphan since I am an infant. My parents leave me in front of the door of the orphanage. Leaving a letter saying that they will come back to get me in a few months.

But a few months later, my parents didn't come back instead there is a bad news reach in the orphanage saying they die in a war. My parents didn't give me a name to the orphanage when they leave me.

The orphanage harbors me and gives me a name when I first come, Lilibeth. I am shy and timid since I was a child, that gives a reason for another child to bully me and pick a fight for no reason at all. The leader of the bully is Elliz. When she saw me she always sneers and always trick me.

It all began when I was five years old. There's a play about the princess, and the sister that is taking care of us choose to do a raffle to choose a princess character.

"I want to become a princess."

" Me too, it's my dream."

"Sister, choose me!me"

" No way! Please, I want to become a princess."

The little girls began to hype wishing they were a princess. I'm not exempted to that. All girls wish they were once a princess in their lifetime.

"SHUT UP!!" a little voice soon erupted in the room. "Hmmpp. The princess character is all mine. You all are extras. Don't even think to fight me." Elliz glare at every child that voice they're an opinion in wanting to become a princess.

The children are all scared of Elliz because she has a formidable presence that can make a person shut up.

Elliz always has a big dream. And she is always saying that someday she will become a queen and find a prince charming.

"Elliz" the sister call her smiling, "Don't be harsh to other children. All of you can become a princess."

"Hmmp. I don't wanna don't do the raffle. I can only become a princess." Elliz only ignored the sister explanation and push her opinion.

The sister only sighed, helpless she said "Elliz if you can't become a good child. A handsome prince charming will not like you." Seeing that Elliz began to calm, the sister continues, "Your a good child, aren't you? I'm sure a handsome prince will come and get you." she smiled.

"o..okay. Elliz is kind really." Elliz agreed. "It's okay if others can play princess because it's only a 'play' anyway," she remarks.

Knowing the child have a big arrogance the sister only sighed and began to draw a name for the character.

"Okay.. here's the name." the sister picks up a folded paper and began to wave on the children.

The children look at the paper with excitement.

"The princess is... Lilibeth" The sister read the name and smile to Lilibeth.

Lilibeth blush and said "I.. always wish... to become a princess once ... in my lifetime." she stuttering said while her head is down.

The children began to clap and cheer her.

*clap* *clap* *clap*

"Lilibeth don't worry you are always kind to us."

"Lilibeth sis, god give you a reward for always helping us."

The children smile to me and began nodding.

"I will do my best in the play." Lilibeth looks at them and fists her palm, looking strong.

The sister chuckled, "okay, kids let's wrap up. I'm sure Lilibeth will not disappoint us."

After the sister leave. They soon began talking endlessly and express that they are excited in the play.

"Hmmp. It's only an 'act' anyway." Elliz sarcastically said.

The crowd soon began to silence. But the boys are not affected in the presence of Elliz. They only snickered and find it kind of funny.

"Hey, you're just jealous aren't you?"

"Shut up Elliz, how can you become a true princess with your attitude?"

" HAHAHA, Elliz are you a child of a king or something?"

"That's only in your dreams Elliz."

"I heard one of the sister talking about us to father and said that your father is a farmer and leave you here because they can't feed you."

" Aren't you and Lilibeth come to this orphanage in the same day? But Lilibeth's parents are both soldiers, they just leave Lilibeth here and promise to come back in a few months, but they died in the war."

" Don't tell us .. you dream of the prince charming that will come and marry you .. princess."

"pft" laughter of the children can be heard in the room.

Elliz ears become red because of humiliation. She stared at Lilibeth with contempt.

Lilibeth moves her head down, "Elliz if you want to become a princess, I will tell to the sister that I don't wanna become a princess."

"You just said that you want to become a princess... hmmmp." Elliz cried and run outside.

"Elliz.."

I walk in the office of the orphanage and talk to the sister that I'm not feeling well and to give the princess character to Elliz.

The sister's sharp eye notice something, she stared at me in a minute and said, "Are you sure it's okay?"

"Yes, sister" I smiled, "I always believe that anyone can become a princess as long they have the heart to protect and love others."

The sister smiles back to me and nods, "Your right." she gets a box in the drawer, "Lilibeth all kind people will have a happy life. You just need to believe and pray for the others. Just stay who you are and your wish will be granted." She hands the box to me and said, "It's yours now it's my lucky charm since I was a child."

Opening the box Lilibeth sees a silver necklace that has a pendant of a leaf. She looks at the sister with her big round eyes, the eye of an adorable child. The sister can't help but pat her head and pinch the adorable cheeks. Lilibeth answer cutely, "Thank you, sister. I will take care of it."

That night, I happily sleep. When the morning comes, I go up and ready myself to walk downstairs to have breakfast. I'm pretty early because the sister didn't wake us children yet so I'm sure that I'm the first one who woke up.

When I'm going downstairs I feel a hand behind me and push me, causing me to become out of balance and fall terribly in the downstairs. Blood flow in my forehead and I hear a familiar voice, "Lilibeth I will make sure to be great and become the best at the play, so don't worry."

At that time, the orphanage is so noisy because the sisters and children all began to surround me and panicking. A few days later when I become to heal... The difference from the past is noticeable.

Elliz began bullying me, harsher and harsher each day. The other isolate me, fearing that Elliz may target them next time. Day by day Elliz become the leader of the bullying.

I'm not fighting back and giving a complaint to the sisters. I just hide the bullying and the bruise inside my body. Every day is hell.

When I was eight years old, I met my savior.. my angel, the one who let me out in this hell. From the moment my angel saves me I vow to protect her.
