The compromise between the Phoenix King
and the ministers let everyone know that
when the golden phoenix hatched, the eldest
prince would get the position of crown prince.
Bethany would also become the crown
princess.
My parents got the news and came to send
gifts to Bethany in person.
But to me, they only gave me a few brown
sugar eggs.
My mother didn’t take me seriously at all. She
sat in the upper seat on her own. “Your sister
has always been competitive, unlike you.
You’re just a jinx. What did you give birth to?
You might as well have thrown it away and
given birth to another one.”
My father was a playboy, but my mother
thought that she had fallen out of favor
because I was a daughter. She wanted to
drown me when I was born. It was the nanny
by her side who couldn’t stand it and stopped
her, then abandoned me in a remote
courtyard.
Whenever she was angry with my father, she
would run to my courtyard to beat and scold
me, as if I wasn’t her own daughter.

In my past life, I was rescued from the
dungeon by Wyatt. He sent me back to the
Bluebird Clan, hoping that I could survive.
But my mother hated and tortured me. When
Bethany came to my door, she watched as
Bethany threw me into the extremely cold
land.
She even clapped her hands and cheered,
saying that the jinx that had been haunting
her for many years had finally disappeared
from her sight.
I no longer expect any family love. Seeing her
again is just like seeing a familiar stranger.
Looking at my arrogant mother, I gave the
maid next to me a look.
く
The maid immediately shouted angrily, “How
dare you say such outrageous words and
want to harm the Phoenix Clan’s bloodline!
You deserve to die! Someone, take her to His
Majesty the Phoenix King!”
Two guards rushed into the hall and
restrained my mother with her hands behind
her back.
My mother was shocked and angry. “I am the
mother of your Great Princess and Second
Princess. How dare you be rude to me?!”
“Hazel! Quickly let them release me!”
I took a sip of tea and said helplessly,
“Mother, this is the Phoenix Clan. Even I can’t
do anything about slandering and hurting the
Phoenix Clan’s bloodline.”
く
“By the way, what was the fate of the person
who hurt the Phoenix Clan last time?”
The maid said in a formal manner, “Your
Majesty, that beast was thrown into the Viper
Pit long ago. I guess there’s not even a trace
left.”
A look of horror appeared on my mother’s
face. Seeing that I was unmoved, she finally
lowered her noble head and struggled to cry
and beg for mercy, “Hazel, I didn’t mean it.
Please forgive me this time.”
Seeing that I still didn’t say anything, she was
afraid that she would really be taken to the
Phoenix King. She slapped herself a few
times.
She kn
that I had no feelings for her, and
that she had no weight in front of my father.
If she lost face, my father could really
abandon her.
My mother finally left in a sorry state.
With the phoenix hatching soon, I had no
intention of holding on to her and put all my
energy into the phoenix egg.
Soon, the hatching day arrived.
The Queen and the eldest prince held a grand
ceremony in the palace.
The people of the Phoenix Clan surrounded
the sacred hatching platform.
Even the sick Phoenix King came to watch in
person.
The eldest prince looked solemn and placed
the phoenix egg on the hatching platform
with both hands.
Bethany followed closely behind.
A golden light flashed from the hatching
platform and injected into the “golden
phoenix egg“. That was the ancient magic
power of the Phoenix Clan to ensure that the
Phoenix Clan’s bloodline would hatch
successfully.
Everyone was eager to see the phoenix be
born.
Bethany was even more excited and tried her
best to suppress the ecstasy in her heart.
く
The eldest prince kept turning around,
wishing he could break open the eggshell
himself and let the phoenix come out quickly.
Only the Queen was calm, but her face was
also determined and excited.
In the spotlight, the dim golden egg cracked,
and the cracks became bigger and bigger.
Everyone’s faces all showed joy. Without accident, the phoenix of the Phoenix Clan
was about to be born.
As everyone waited with anticipation, a faint
chicken crow came from the eggshell.
Before everyone could be confused, a chicken
head squeezed out of the eggshell, panting.
