Scarlet Li Marie Vhon Salvatore, a name that is very familiar to her.
Scarlet Li Marie Vhon Salvatore is no other than one of the [characters] as well as a cannon fodder on the light novel she had read before.
["I am transported as the saint who will save the world], is the title of the R-18 reverse harem novel that her attending nurse recommends.
When she read the novel she was shocked that a [character] bears the same name as [Scarlet] but the said [character] only appeared for only five chapters out of the whole four arcs of the novel and didn't have any big major role.
The only information stated in the novel is that Scarlet Li Marie Vhon Salvatore lived up on her title, 『The Tyrant Queen』; she loves to kill, kidnap men and torture people.
Another description of her was being jealous that the MC was more beautiful than [her] that [she] decided to harm the MC during the grand holy festival where different nations gathered. However [her] evil desire was stopped by the crown prince of Aurum Empire; one of the MC lovers and was killed that caused Avelion, the kingdom [Scarlet] reign to declare war against the Aurum kingdom. The kingdom of Avelion stood no chance against the large empire resulting in it being conquered and perished on the whole continent.
The author only mentions Avelion and [Scarlet] only for five chapters after that the author has already forgotten the so-called kingdom and based on her memory the current timeline is two years before the MC summoning in this world.
Before she could check the interface more and dwell about the character [Scarlet] someone just loudly entered the room interrupting her thoughts.
"Your Majesty, the rebels almost reach the second main gate." the knight reported accompanied by an old man wearing glasses and a white rob.
As the soul merging is completed, she already had absorbed some of the memories of the character, [Scarlet].
The three big kingdoms in the West, East and South are preparing for war and in order to prevent any invasion of [Scarlet] dispatched a hundred of knights to protect the borders while the beast tide in the North border is getting larger and more violent than before and desperately needed aid.
After sending almost 3/4 of the knights this make the capital unguarded, [Scarlet] had already anticipated a rebellion; it's a golden opportunity for rebels' to defeat the tyrant queen but she miscalculated when she needed to give birth two months earlier than her due date.
She looked down at the baby in her arms. He is so small and so defenseless.
The character [Scarlet] never loved her children; she only used them as hostages for [her] husbands. And based on her memories she now has a total of ten children and all of them were neglected and abused by the previous [Scarlet].
On the other hand, she was an orphan and grew up without any familial love that is why she felt that the child in her arms is quite pitiful for having a mother like [Scarlet].
Even though she is still confused about her current situation, she can't stop herself having an affection towards the small child she just gave birth to. Maybe that's what we call maternal instinct.
Sighing, she let out a sweet smile as she carefully caresses the small patch of black hair on the child that brought shock to the people present.
While looking at the child she had remembered what happened earlier, she tried to use her skill [Detection] on the child to check if he had any problems due premature birth and when the maid fell.

Scarlet's eyes lit up when she saw the series system prompt flashing in front of her. A pink envelope with a heart sticker pasted in the middle was under it, mentally she opened and silently read the contents.

Scarlet out of boredom had played a dating simulation game that one of the hospital nurses suggested, it was fun, she felt like she became a teen again gushing towards handsome men and giggling towards her character interaction with the targets.
With that said she already had an idea about the process and what to however she can't help but help frown since everyone's most hated person in this kingdom is apparently [Scarlet] which she is right now.
'This will be hard.'
Scarlet mentally sighed.
"Your majesty?"
Hearing her being called, she raised her head and met the questioning look from the knight but she ignored him and returned her gaze towards the child in arms.
[Name: Nameless

Love rate: 100/100 ]
[ Congratulations for reaching 100 love rate. The system will now issue a random reward. Please check your inventory for the reward.]
Scarlet sighed in relief and joy; thankfully the child had no problems but more importantly she just received a reward effortlessly.
'This is a great cheat. Ah! That's right if this is like a game there should be a quest.' she thought unaware of the chaos her smile brought in everyones mind.
"Lord Beckhamn estimating how many hours till they reach the gate."
She asked as she slowly pushed her body to sit.
Her actions cause everyone to break out from their dazed and thought maybe it's just a hallucination.
The midwife and the maid saw her struggling so they immediately assisted her.
The knight on the other hand composed himself for a second and answered her question with a tone of grievance.
"Your Majesty, Knight Commander Kroft is doing his best to stop the enemies and we are now stalemate with the rebels however due the numbers of knights deployed the enemy will breakthrough around six or four hours or so."
Scarlet can help but raise a brow as she hears his answer that felt like a complaint.
"Are you questioning my decision, Lord Beckhamn?" Scarlet questions as she assesses the man in front of her.
Lei Beckhamn is the right hand of Aiden Kroft and the 1st lieutenant officer of the Blood Hound knights.
The novel had never mentioned him however in [Scarlet's] memory he was serious and as well as an arrogant man.
Lei Beckhamn had clean cut golden locks with piercing violet orbs, tall straight nose, thin lips, sharp brows and jaws. He is around 183cm tall with long legs, wide shoulders, small waist and the right amount of muscle.
He looked like he had a western blood but had the build of kpop idols that she used to watch before. Despite that, the former [Scarlet] didn't feel any attraction towards his handsome face instead she only thinks Beckhamn is an annoying person for the reason that the man indirectly questions her decisions a couple of times not like his loyal commander.
'It's a miracle that she didn't kill the man.'
"No, you're majesty." He answered seriously, mentally rolling his eyes.
As Scarlet observed Beckhamn the latter is also observing her.
He was shocked when he saw Scarlet holding a child when he entered the room earlier. Everyone knows every time she gives birth she will emphasize that she didn't want to see the child and ordered the previous midwives to take them away immediately, so seeing her like this is very strange.
Glancing at the infant in her arms, Beckhamn's face lit up with a smile.
'The commander's son is so cute', he thought.
