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.

Those strong feelings were so much that she attracted an unusual demon, Mellie.

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 ȧduŀts 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.
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.
