"Ahhhh there's no information to base an absorption technique off of here"

The library that brought my hopes up turned out to be useless, well I should've guessed the family wouldn't put their techniques out in the open to be grabbed, would they? But it's still annoying to not be able to find anything here, I mean I take precious time out of my day to come here every day while hiding from the maids. At least I haven't been found out yet if I was I would probably not be allowed out of my room.

On the topic of not being found out let's head back. As I head back hiding from everybody's sight, with help from the A.I. chip, I hear a lot of clamor in the area, what's going on? It's definitively not my birthday because my parents are too 'busy' to hold a private birthday party. Why a private one? It's simple because I haven't made an entrance into the 'aristocratic' world yet and I will be making mine when I become eight years old. So until then they don't really see the point of celebrating my birthday.

Ah, I can't get distracted I can ask questions later after getting to my room. As I sneak through the hallways, I wasn't startled to find them empty. Why would I if I knew the reason why? It was pretty simple my parents didn't like me due to some incidents concerning my birth and as I know they were my fault I have nothing to say. You see when she was pregnant with me no matter how much she cultivated her magic her cultivation kept going down steadily but that instantly stopped when I was born. The events proved that it was all my fault causing the happy couple to have not so well feelings towards me.

Ah, I am finally here. My room is in the very back of the mansion causing the area around it to be really deserted, giving me a lot of freedom. There is still the occasional annoying check-ups on me, though, they even caught me not in my room once. Luckily I was able to play it off as me playing a game with the maids by hiding in the room and being found later. The after effects of the situation were for the better though because they couldn't make me not do it, they decided only to call out and look around if it's about my meal or an important event.

I ended up getting myself a schedule due to these checks now. As it's almost dinner time now, I should be able to ask the maid if there is some kind of event going on.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. Ah, finally it's time.

"My lady as it's time for dinner I am coming in for your dress up." (Yup its the same maid)

It seems its time for the other soul to take over and as I have personally 'taught' her some etiquette she should not do anything 'wrong' this time. What happened through wasn't her fault just, that the 'parents' 'expected' too much from her. The happy couple thought she should have perfect etiquette just after four lessons on it totally disregarding the point that she's two years old.

"Come in."

Oooo so the other soul has gotten colder now that is helpful, Imean that tells now she doesn't think of 'mother' and 'father' as caring parents anymore at least. I have to admit this one partially due to my manipulation but I think the etiquette incident drove in the final nail. She would usually be all giddy about meal times but now she's pretty cold acting.

'A.I. chip is my hate growing stronger for the family due to the merging?'

'Yes, host's conditions suggest so.'

Hmm this might get annoying but it seems like my feelings against the parents helped the girl grow colder towards them, at least that's a plus. I finally get to see what all this ruckus is about now. I found something odd with the dressing up, though. The dress I was being dressed up in was a lot more expensive looking than my other clothing and for some reason, the maid was being a lot more careful in dressing me up. No, don't tell me its this day. Noooooooooooooooo.

'Al-chip what is my body's current age?'

'Host's current body's age is two years and three days old'

I must be getting ahead of myself because my age is too early for 'that' but we are talking about nobles here, and they always arrange 'that' at an early age. Uhhh what do I do to get out of this? In the otome game they never really talk about any events relating to the villainess, unless the events are important to the plot in some way. There's also the rumors but there weren't many rumors related to the villainess's past, in the game, in the first place.

How do I avoid the 'event' if it takes place? Think, think, think Elizabeth. How do you avoid the following event? I can't do the pretend sick trick anymore, I have already been seen by the maid here. I also don't know if not going to the dinner would be the solution for the event. I was suddenly awakened by the maid's calling.

"My lady it's time to go."

"Very well lead on" (This is the protagonist. Notice something unfamiliar?)

As we were walking towards the dining area.

'Host, the time required to 'absorb' the soul has been shortened by a year and a half, the time required to 'absorb' the soul is now four months. Now practicing the warrior method will not have any more side effects on the absorption."

I was confused as to what happened to shorten the time, well I can't really blame the Al-chip due to its lack of information. As we got farther away from my room you could see more and more maids and butlers walking around. I hate how far the dining room is from my room it takes five minutes just to walk there. As I got close to the door of the dining room I grew more nervous. When we were right in front of the door the maid bowed and opened the door, before saying.

"My lady this is as far as I can lead you."

"Very well, you can leave"

As I entered the room I found five unknown faces sitting on the table. The most surprising thing was that this time it wasn't father sitting at the head of the table but rather some other man. Right by the man sat a woman and two children. While on the other hand, my 'father' sat on the other side of the table with 'mother' and another child sitting by him.

"Your majesty this is my recently born daughter Elizabeth. Elizabeth, greet his majesty and the queen ."

I immediately grab the hems of my skirt and bow before saying.

"Elizabeth greets his majesty and the queen."

"Child you may sit down."

Holy god the arrogance in his words, I knew kings were arrogant but still, I am a child here why are you being so overbearing in front of me. I immediately sit down on the other side of the unknown boy whose identity I can guess. If I am not wrong, the child is my big brother who should be around four years old. And as for the other children, they are most likely the first and second prince.

As I sit down, the food is brought in by the maids and the butlers in exquisite plates. Now just gotta focus on the etiquette and make sure 'I' don't make a fool of 'myself'. As everybody was eating one of the princes kept looking at me occasionally as if something was wrong with me. As if to answer my question the king suddenly talks to my 'father'.

"Albert your daughter is quite well versed in etiquette why is it you do not mention her much?"

"Your majesty, you must be joking she can't compare to your two sons."

I, on the other hand, continue eating. I am lucky though that the sexism in this kingdom isn't as bad as the other world's old kingdom's, this was quite a big deal in the game. As we continue eating, while the king and my 'father' conversing every now and then, I become full. If I were to describe this cuisine compared to cuisine in the other world I would call it ok. But this is coming from a guy who was rich half his lifetime so it might be because of me buying 'high class' food I guess.

Eventually, the eating comes to a stop and 'father' then orders the maid and butlers to take the rest back. Suddenly the atmosphere got all quiet and I felt the King's eyes on me.

'Danger, Danger Host is being scanned through the use of magical energy, chances of getting found out are 3.4%.'

I immediately cringed, now I felt me choosing the safe route was a really good choice. The king after staring at me for about three seconds diverted his eyes and seemed to start conversing with the queen. Haaahhhh, I guess this is it for me, now I am going to be engaged with the second prince and will have to eventually face off against the heroine later. After conversing with the queen a little the king turned towards 'father' and said.

"Albert what about an engagement between my son William and your daughter?"
