In the middle of a room lay an exquisite bed on which was a beautiful child. The child had pansy black hair flowing down her body, contrasting well with her porcelain-like skin.Her eyes, framed by long lashes, were a bright, emerald-green and seemed to brighten the world. Her straight nose and rosy red lips - she seemed the picture of perfection. But currently, it was as if she was spaced out staring into nothingness when suddenly she started rolling all over the bed.
AHHHH what do I do now? Now I have done it, why couldn't I just have kept my stupid emotions in control. I was so close to getting the other soul to give up on the family too, why'd the stupid dad have to act all nice all of a sudden. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID dad why'd he have to go mellow at the moment rather why'd the soul have to choose that moment to completely merge! I would've never thought I would be angry about the soul absorption ending early, before yet here I am.
'A.I. chip why was the soul absorbed earlier than the countdown?'
'Sorry host, there isn't enough information for a concrete answer, calculating a theory. Calculations complete, according to the theory the incident happened due to an overload of emotions and high compatibility, emotionally, between the Host and the foreign soul.'
Wait from when did the other soul's and my emotions had a high compatibility? I had a pretty happy past life, the super upgraded A.I. chip is the proof of that. The girl, on the other hand, has gotten no love throughout her short life. The poor girl was seen as a monster, rather than a child by her parents. The parents were so paranoid that they didn't even allow the poor girl out of her room.
The' mother' was especially paranoid, about her and even referred to her as a monster when she conversed with the father about her. The father, on the other hand, would completely avoid her and when she was noticed, it was for something she didn't do right. And from the earlier engagement table incident, I could guess that they made sure I didn't meet my brother. Well, not like I am complaining 'my brother' was a screw up in the game.
The game portrays him as an idiot who doesn't understand politics and the person who puts love over family. He is considered one of the capturable characters in the game putting him in the list of spoiled rotten nobles. He disregards the family future and tries to pursue her no matter what as if it doesn't matter. He also becomes a loyal follower of the second prince who was barely in the competition for the throne after the first prince left due to the support of the Pendragon archducal house. And due to the loss of Elizabeth's engagement, he lost the only support he had.
None of what happened after the heroine captured her target was shown in the game, though. But you could infer the future that takes place through reading between the line. But now since my engagement is to the first prince instead of the second prince, I truly do not know how to get rid of it unless him getting chosen by the organization makes the engagement void.
As I sit up in bed and think calmly about the situation, I remember the items father gave me in the secret room. I immediately start searching for the book and stone. As I look around from the top of my bed, I find the two things on top of the table right next to my bed.
"A.I. chip start analyzing the stone"
I order the chip to go to work as I start to read the book, of course, I can't read the book in front of people due to me not 'knowing' how to read. The book introduces a lot of foreign terms used to absorb the energy, but you can infer the meanings easily with the sentences around it. As I was around the end of the book, I suddenly hear knocking on the door.
"My lady may I come in?"
I immediately put the book and stone back on the table as quietly as I could before calling back.
If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
"You may come in."
When the door opens fully, I see Maid A walking into the room.
"My lady master has said that the preparations are complete for you to move out of your room and that from tomorrow on you must go to your teaching room to be taught by teachers."
"Very well, help me dress up."
"Yes, my lady.
You would think that due to what happened so far and that this is the medieval ages that there would be a lot of prejudice against females in the current times. But that is not true due to the integration of magic into society. In the old times, women were thought to be 'properties' due to two things. One was women got pregnant and not men and the other being that women aren't as strong as men. But in this society, the second reason can be easily overturned due to magic causing the prejudice to go down a whole lot.
So where does this lead us? It leads to my present condition of not having to dress in some frilly dress. But one thing is annoying though the nobility expects women to wear this clothing on 'formal' occasions.
The lack of prejudice doesn't mean there is no prejudice at all but rather it's just not all that blown up. Looking at the king and my father is proof enough as you can tell the males get to be the heads of the household most of the times. Of course, there are some female heads too, the biggest example being the female head of the Wakefield ducal house, Emilia Wakefield.
"My lady, as we are done with the dress up. Please, follow me to your new room."
"Wait."
I immediately ordered her to wait and went to the side of my bed to get the book and the stone. Theses things are too important for the servants to handle rather I fear they would've thrown away the stone thinking of it as trash.
"Now we can go"
When the maid heard my approval to lead on she started walked towards the general direction of the dining hall, as we got around the vicinity of the dining hall, I saw 'mother' walking towards my direction. When 'mother' saw me following the maid, her eyebrows furrowed.
"What is she doing out of her room?"<'Mother'>
"Mistress, the master asked me to lead the young lady to her new room."
After 'mother' heard the maid she had a startled expression on her face and walked past me as if she didn't know me. As soon as 'mother' was gone the maid continued leading me a little farther before, stopping in front of a beautiful door.
"My lady this here is your new room."
She then proceeded to open the door to show the inside before bowing.
"I shall be going now and my lady if you need any help, I will be in the vicinity so please ring the bell."
After the maid left, I immediately went to my new bed and started reading the book again and luckily this time nobody showed up to disturb me. As I finished the book I wasn't surprised by the method to absorb the energy. I already knew most of the information in this low leveled absorption technique due to looking into the knight's technique and the A.I. chip's help. But there was still one part I was missing, the way to take the energy to your energy core safely.
The knight training absorbed energy too but unlike the magus training, it was only to the muscle. The magus training, on the other hand, empowers the whole of the body but mainly focuses on the energy core.
The A.I. chip could create a weak knight training method with the knowledge it already had, but it can't create a low ranked magus training method due to the complicity of the method.
"A.I. chip get rid of all the deficiencies you can find in the method and tell me the time required to adjust the method."
"Starting operation, the time required for the operation to take place is two hours but to improve the method any further will require new information."
"What about the creation of a method to absorb the unique energy my original structure has?"
"The creation of such an absorption method would require information from absorption techniques of the energies that 'fused ' to create it. "
Ahh, I guess I will have to do with the current knight training method I have. Oh yeah, what about the stone I got with the book.
"A.I. chip is the analysis of the stone finished?
"Yes, permission needed to transfer information."
"Permission granted"
So it's just a lump of pure earth elemental energy huh. Ahh, I would use it to absorb energy but I can't because it will become a dead give away of me absorbing energy. Well, let's just absorb energy according to the knight method for now. I could use the magus absorption technique too, but there is a risk of not being able to use the unique energy of my original structure afterward.
