Days passed by slowly, well.. at least for Audelia. To Audelia who had the memories of her past life in Japan that is in modern era, having to spend days without technology and smartphone is a kind of torture in itself. She started missing her past life already..
The slow days passed by venturing the Leonhart Palace. Even though Audelia had lived here in her past life, she never ventured around. Audelia remembered that the rooms she went to only dining room, study room, salon and her own room. So this time, Audelia decided to have tiny adventure of her own.
Just like all fantasy isekai, Leonhart Palace had western medieval theme in its structure. The crest that Leonhart Grand Duchy had was dark blue flag with silver shield and golden lion's head on top of it. From a modern person's perspective, it was a kind of cool design.
Together with Natalie, Audelia visited Library as the first destination in her tiny adventure. Why Library? because that place was the source of information. Audelia spent 'quite' a lot of time inside the library on her first day's adventure to the point Natalie had to inform the rest of Audelia's family only to drag her out of the Library. It was such a chaos and that time Audelia realized that she was too immersed in gathering all kinds of information from many books that she was muttering words in soft voice like a lunatic, even forgetting Natalie was there. Natalie who was scared seeing such Audelia, informed the Head Butler, Sebastian Froyd. Sebastian who heard that, informed the Grand Duke and Duchess right away. Hence the chaos...
Audelia sighed as she remembering the chaos she 'unintentionally' caused. She didn't realize that having a family who doted on her so much could be so mentally tiring.
Moving on to the story.. the next place Audelia went to was the kitchen. Why? Of course because Yamamoto Kaguya was fond of cooking. Even though she was the heir of Yakuza family, she still cooked for her family from time to time. When Audelia visited the kitchen, it was bustling with activities. The moment she entered the kitchen, head chef and the other chefs treated her like a princess, staring at her adoringly. Audelia informed them that she only wanted to see they cooked and wanted to learn from them even if it was a little. She also added that the food they made were all very delicious and she was grateful for their hard work.
The head chef and the other chefs were all into tears because of Audelia's words and seeing them like that, it gave a shock to Audelia. Before, they treated Audelia like a princess. Now, they treated Audelia as if she was an angel. Yep.. Another chaos happened at the kitchen..
Because of the ruckus, Audelia only spent little time in the kitchen. She returned to her room mentally exhausted, wondering it this was another trial she had to overcome. Audelia REALLY thought that there was something wrong with the people in this palace.
Next day, Audelia visited the garden and greenhouses. Fortunately, she had a little bit knowledge about plants and flowers. Thomas, the head gardener of the palace was a friendly person. He was a 45 years old man who really loved plants and Audelia enjoyed talking with him. He gave Audelia a tour around the garden and greenhouses, explaining the plants and flowers that Audelia took interest in. It was quite a fun day for Audelia.
At present, Audelia planned to go to the chapel that was located at the back of the palace. It was located there because it was built next to the cemetery of Leonhart's main family. On her way to the chapel, Audelia was stopped by Justin, her second older brother.
"Elia, where do you plan on going?"
"Ah, Good day Onisama. I plan to go to the chapel." Audelia answered, "..Hn? Onisama.. that's.."
"Ah, this girl is a beastman slave."
Next to Justin was a beastman girl with brown hair. Suddenly a sense of Deja Vu hit Audelia's mind when her eyes met the beastman girl's.
Yes..
She remembered now..
This beastman girl was Audelia's first victim..
Audelia remembered how she tortured the girl and left her to rot and die at the palace dungeon. Guilt started to weighing her heart as more memories of her and the beastman girl appeared in her mind.
'..This time.. I can make it right for this girl..'
Audelia walked closer toward the beastman girl and stopped at a safe distance, trying not to make girl scared. Audelia let out a soft smile and greeted the beastman girl.
"Hello, My name is Audelia Elizabeth Von Leonhart.. What is your name?"
The beastman girl stared at Audelia timidly and after a short silence, she answered with a soft voice.
"...T-Trisvia.."
Right.. her name was Trisvia..
Of course Audelia already knew this but she still maintained her smile on the outside. Turning her gaze to Justin, Audelia made a sudden request.
"Onisama, I like her. Can she be my maid?"
"Eh?" Justin was startled at the sudden request, "..But.." He glanced at the beastman girl. At first, he bought this slave because he felt pity on how she was treated by the slave trader and he planned to give her a job at the stable. Yet, his beloved sister suddenly requested this from him..
"Onisama..?" Audelia's big eyes stared at Justin pitifully, "..I can't..?"
"Ukh.. O-Of course you can! Anything you want, brother will give it to you! Natalie, take care of this girl and teach her properly how to be elia's maid." Justin gave his order.
"Yes, Justin sama." Natalie accepted the order and bowed respectfully.
"Onisama." Audelia moved her small hand, gesturing him to come closer.
Justin bent toward his little sister, wondering what did she want for telling him to come closer. And..
Chu!
Audelia planted a kiss on Justin's cheek and smiled sweetly, "Thank You, Onisama. You are the best!"
Justin stiffened, his eyes widened slightly as he watched Audelia giggled and dragged Trisvia away. Audelia giggled seeing Justin's reaction. As she dragged Trisvia away from him, deep inside her heart, she felt grateful toward Justin for giving in to her request.
Later, that day, Leonhart Palace had massive incoming of beastman slaves. It turned out the rest of Leonhart family members heard how Audelia gave Justin a kiss on the cheek and felt jealous because of it. So they ordered Sebastian to buy many beastman slaves for Audelia.
Audelia, who stood in front of the palace where many beastman slaves was standing in row, waiting for her orders, felt speechless by her family's behavior. She ended up have to give them a kiss on cheek and got a massive headache because she needed to think what should she do with these many slaves. Yep.. that was another chaos day in her tiny adventure..
