3 Fruit Tart

Fifteen years ago, when Anne was five years old, she received some strange info from the future in the form of a dream. The soul of her other self got into her little body out of the blue. She was living in a world where people inhabited tall buildings, used automatic carriages without horses, and many other complicated devices of advanced technology hardly to comprehend for her young mind.

Her futuristic soul was known as the ruthless CEO of an international and successful company. The world knew her as the most powerful woman in the business world that was always full of men. However, as envy and greed were usual in that kind of environment, schemes and killing attempts were more than expected. No one was immune, not even her.

The other Anne died in a car accident, she doesn't know who was the one behind the attempt, but she wanted her revenge, so she was left with grievances and regrets at her parting moment. Those strong feelings were so much that she attracted an unusual demon, Mellie. He proposed to her an evil contract, he will let her return to her last life to get her desired revenge if she goes to the world of Lith and become the cruelest Queen to ever rule that country.

He will send her messages with the missions to accomplish and while she accumulates wins on the missions, he will grant her a wish.

Thus, from a young age, she had been doing those strange missions that could come at unexpected moments and were for sure out of the common and evil. Anne didn't know what to think.

Only a month after she arrived in this world, the first message came, she found a red piece of paper in her pocket. It had symbols that only she could read and then after a few seconds, it disappeared.

"What?!" 'He wants me to steal candy from a kid? Is he nuts?'

She looked at the children playing in front of her. They were the daughters and the sons of the noble families of Lith. They came to celebrate her older brother, the crown prince's eighth birthday. She was in no way interested in mingling with those little children, they were overly immature for her. She was only observing them carefully, thinking of who will be the innocent victim.

Right that moment, the high-pitched voice of the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Prim, Rose Prim reached her ears. She was playing with another little kid with shiny green eyes. However, the scandal was disturbing Anne's peaceful time sipping quietly her aromatic tea and eating her pastries while admiring the beautiful garden.

"How noisy." She muttered making the adults around look at her with curious expressions. Even some giggling from his uncle, the King, and the Queen could be heard.

"Anne, darling, aren't you going to play with your friends?"

"Your Highness, I am not playing, they are too immature for my interest." Her little sweet voice only brought more laughs. The other noblewoman looked at her with warmth and tenderness as she looked so adorable with her little pink fluffy dress and her red hair tied in a topknot with a pink ribbon.

However, Anne didn't care about being stared at, she was entertained watching the scene in front of her, that odious Rose snatched a big lollipop from the hands of a delicate little boy. He didn't cry but was clearly hurt, however, he didn't say anything to anger the spoiled kid.

Anne came down from her seat carrying a plate with a big cake. Then she ordered a servant to bring the big fruit tart cake and follow her. All the people in the Palace knew that she favorited that cake so no one thought it as odd as it seemed.

Then, with a strong push, she snatched the lollipop of the girl's hands and stuffed it into her mouth.

'Mm… it's tasty. Hohoho, this just feels so sweet. I snatched a candy from a kid! Muahahahaha, just look at her stupefied face, hahaha,' The two children couldn't believe what had happened, even the ones around stopped doing what they were doing and watched with shocked faces.

"Ew, this taste awful!"

Anne gave the lollipop to a maid nearby and signaled her to hold the candy for a moment.

"You made me taste something so awful, how dare you?!"

The little Rose was on the verge of tears. "I… I didn't…"

"But you were not the only one guilty… " She pointed at the little boy, "you too, this candy was yours, right?"

She turned to look at the little boy that appeared sad but didn't let any tears leave his eyes.

"Tell me, how should I punish you?"

The people around were now spreading little talks about her spoiled nature and cruel manners. Anne was being harshly criticized and the King was about to say something but…

"Horace, give them both a piece of this tart, they will know how it is to suffer from bad taste. You both start eating, now!"

The whole crowd was dumbfounded. Moments ago, she was clearly enjoying herself while eating that tart, but now she was making it sound different.

The two kids took a piece of the sweet fruit tart reserved only for royalties into their mouths and their faces lit up with happiness. The dessert was made with the highest quality ingredients to bring out the best taste for the picky royals as they were the only ones allowed to eat it.

Now two kids from low families were eating such delicacy as if the Princess were dispatching some dirty trash.

"You see, now you will think twice before giving me this thing, humph, let's go, Tia."

The little maid carrying the lollipop was a bit dazed but followed her miss quickly.

The other nobles didn't know if they were allowed to laugh or say anything. Even the King was trying hard to keep his laughter for a few seconds only after his dear niece left the place.
