Chereads / Daughter of a Genius! / Chapter 3 - Making friends like a "Lady"

Chapter 3 - Making friends like a "Lady"

Approximately 3 months have gone by since I've entered this world as Louise de Baudelaire, daughter of the genius chancellor. Adelaide got worried about me a week ago because my eyes were puffy from crying at night. I guess I still do have the mind of a small child because I thought there was something inside of my closet, I asked sir Anton to let me have my wooden sword with me so that I would be able to protect myself from any intruders.

My Father is a wanted man by almost all the women in the country! He's the most eligible man and he's I hate to say exceptionally handsome which makes the women even run towards him during parties and balls that the emperor holds for his son's birthday parties. His son is the same age as me only 1 month older, of course, I've never met him but I believe he's probably some snob that thinks he owns it all like his mother.

My mother is dead, and through Louise's memories I saw my mother and she looked like an angel fallen from the heavens! She had black and brown hair and beautiful blue eyes they looked like the sky when there's no rain. So bright and pretty they even looked like those expensive jewels. Today Adelaide told me that one of the Marchioness' invited us to a tea party only for children her son's age, I'm hoping I'll be able to make friends at this party so that I can have someone to hang out with during the weekends. Hehe.

~A week later~

The carriage bumped into the rocks on the road and the sky seemed to be clear and the sun was shining so bright.

"Adelaide, I'm hoping to make friends today! I haven't had anyone my age hang out with me in a while!"

"Louise, I'm so glad you've grown up to be so beautiful and charming." She gushed, she smiled happily but I could tell from her eyebrows that she was worried something might happen. I know that the ladies at the tea party will try to act all nice well the single ladies anyway, they'll try to be all nice so that they can win father's heart as much as Louise acted as she hated him in her 5 years of life she actually didn't want anyone to take him since she claimed him hers and so that's when she stopped going to tea parties.

"sigh..."

"Lady Louise we're here."

"Oh great!" I said but in my head, I meant something else...Why now?! I'm getting nervous! everyone knows what I'm like! Should I just act like myself or like Louise? I'll act like Louise so that I can confirm who's on my side and who isn't. I'm going to regret this later. Sorry, Adelaide.

"Help me down, Nanny!"

"Ah-O-Ofcourse Lady Louise." Adelaide stuttered and she seemed to get more nervous and anxious. I sigh, I feel like I'm going to regret this for all my life...

It's going according to plan, but I need to be much more careful with Adelaide I don't want to hurt her feelings, I'll just hurt the others' feelings when at the garden. Adelaide walks behind me worriedly and then leads the way to the Marchioness' garden full of lilies and white sparkling roses.

One of the ladies turns around and looks at me smiling, "Oh my which lady is this?"

"Oh why that's the Chancellor's daughter!"

"My how adorable! She has to simply meet up with us someday."

"They say she's just like her father! A genius!"

"She's so graceful. She should come more often to us ladies' tea parties!"

Change of plans; Definitely not a good idea to act like Louise. If I do they'll find it cute so I should act mature, they'll think I'm not enough for their children to marry because I'm way too good for them that's the only way I can prove myself better than my father and smarter than the chancellor. That just sounded like something only a child would think of...

"Greetings Marchioness Sarah, Thank You for inviting me."

"With pleasure Louise."

I need to show them how wrong they are about me.

"Call me Lady Louise."

"Oh my~ How Cute~"

"As to be expected by the daughter of a genius chancellor fufu~"

They're starting to piss me off, now they're talking about the chancellor. I'll go hang out with the other children, they're way more fun than these woman-children here. I walk over to a white fancy bench and sit down next to a girl with blue and white hair she had beautiful golden eyes kinda like Adelaide's. Even though Adelaide is all the way in the corner right now looking down at her feet as if wanting to leave already.

"Hi~ I'm Louise, What's your name?"

"Ah!" What type of expression is that?! She's looking at me as if she's terrified and disgusted with me. I move away a bit and then she calms down her shoulders aren't stiff anymore. "My name is Bianca le Monique..." She said as she looked away uncomfortably, maybe I should be straight up and do something to make her feel at ease with me. I want to have a friend but not if she's insecure all the time. "Why are you looking away?" I say, then she turns back at me shaking in fear, she must think I'm a monster or something that's about to eat her. "Are you...Don't you think my hair is creepy?" She whispered, she hid from me with her strands of loose hair I laughed and she must've been shocked because then she started crying.

"Why are you crying?!" I asked her surprisingly, then a boy walks over around the same age as me and Bianca and he hushed her telling her it will be alright, but boy was he handsome. Then I caught his glare from afar, "Bianca I'm sorry. I was laughing because it sounded silly to think your hair is creepy. It's beautiful, I don't know who's told you it was creepy but it's not. Forgive me if it came off the wrong way." I apologized and her brother stared at me while I was nervously talking to Bianca. Bianca seemed to be nodding at the boy telling him it'll be alright, he sits next to me and I move a bit over to Bianca since I don't like him at all.

"Oh, Bianca I've been wondering do you read novels?"

"Hm? Oh yes! They're entertaining..."

"Have you read 'the knight and the goose'?"

"Yeah, it was really funny I also read 'the Duchess and her Guards'."

"Ohh~ I like that one it left me on a cliff hanger when the author ended it suddenly."

"I know right?~ I wanted to know what happens to the duchess Ianna after the great fall between her and her lover."

"Wah~ I wanted to know if whether or not Sir Lucas wins! fufu~"

"Ah- Yes I didn't get to see what happened to sir kyles or if he wins..."

"We should go to the library together someday, How about it, Bianca?" I know I said it a bit desperately, but that's because father won't let me go unless I go with someone else with guards and it'll be fun sharing these novels and books with someone my age! I used to read a lot of novels in my past life I would be so caught up I would lose track of time. This time the boy next to me seems to be an outcast, is he her cousin or something? They do not look alike.

He has nice black hair and black eyes and they look like those rocks I studied, what was it called? Ah! an obsidian rock! yes, that one, his eyes were so pitch black but they also shined so nicely. He seems to be that calm type of guy so he won't pick a fight with me over his cousin. haha! "Oh, by the way, this is my brother Lucas, we're really close."

What?! You have to be kidding me! you look nothing alike! What is it with this world?! my father looks nothing like me and he looks nothing like you!

A boy in blonde hair walked up to us and stared until he opened his cursed, wretched mouth.

"Hey! you're that girl that lost her mom right?"

What!? who dares talk about my angelic mother like that? who?!!!!!!!!???!!!

"What?" I say in a scary tone, I glare at the boy standing before me, talking as if he were much better.

"You're that girl with weird hair who lost her mother right?"

He's talking about my new best friend this bastard, before anyone could move I walk over to him and smile, "You know you shouldn't be saying that. It's rude, people might get the wrong idea of you. I don't like kids who don't apologize, Please apologize." I say smiling, I'm sending you my anime sparkles with roses around so you apologize. But he seemed frozen in place, and he was staring at me, then he cleared his throat and walked over to Bianca bowed and apologized. This is how you should train your kids. hmph!

"Please forgive me Lady Monique."

"fufu~" I laugh lightly and cheerfully, I feel like I've accomplished something amazing even if this might just be a dream.

"I'm sorry to you too, Lady..?" The boy questions, but he seemed to be nervous and smiling? What is wrong with these kids?

"My name is Louise Baudelaire."

"Lady Louise I'm sorry for my rude behavior. Can you forgive me?" He says with a seductive smile, ah! too shiny! he really needs to consider being a model. Wait- that's not even a job here.

I forgot, it slipped my mind for a bit. "Y-Yes it's fine just please sit down," I say, he finally stops smiling and walks towards the small round table. I invite Bianca and Lucas to the table as well since it is for 4 people. "This is going to be a long day..." I mumbled, Bianca suddenly looks at me with starstruck eyes as if she's seen an angel appear before her.

"Hey Lucas, what type of Mana attribute do you hold?"

"I'm a wind attribute."

"What's this about Mana Attributes?" Bianca asks her brother, but it seems as though the boy answers first and before even though she didn't ask him.

"It's simple, it's like an element based off of the shards of mana deep inside your body and soul, once you've put all those pieces together while in meditation, you can finally check your mana attribute. Most Nobles have it, and most women don't." The blonde boy said, he looked proud when he said that, probably because he has mana or a mana attribute or whatever it is.

But it kinda makes it a little awkward since he's the only one proud of it. "I have a lightning attribute one of the most powerful attributes existing."

Huh, I wonder why...? (Being Sarcastic lol meaning he has a strong presence, to begin with.)

"Lady Louise what about you? Do any of your family members have mana attributes?" The blonde boy asks curiously, and he should know that curiosity is what killed the cat. Poor cat. "Yes, My father has a mana attribute along with all the maids in my mansion." Let's bluff since I don't know the reason a child is saying that yet, he might be after my father.

I still need my father for money and for a house and food so I can't have him killed yet. Not yet. "Wow really?! Who is your father?!" All of them ask, then I sigh nervously. What should I do? I might as well tell them since my father is way too powerful to be killed anyway, he's got the royal guards, the maids, the butler, the knights of our household and me. He won't be unprotected at any time around besides that, he has a dark mana attribute might as well say the truth now before these kids make fun of me.

"My father is Chancellor Baudelaire, and he has a dark mana attribute."

"Y-You're that spoiled brat everyone talks about?! You're nothing like the rumors say!" The blonde boy says pointing at me rudely. I flinched at the sight of this.

"That's why you shouldn't believe rumors, boy."

"My name is Mark Ronceveaux, NOT BOY. I am the son of duke Ellard."

"That's nice to hear. Hey, Bianca, have you read blah blah blah blah... haha amazing!"

"Why are you ignoring me..?" Mark hissed angrily he seemed to make those mad anime eyes that looked like demon eyes, and a fire was literally burning behind him. That's scary but cute. Such cute children at their age. I like his neat vest it has his family crest embedded in it.

"I'm going to invite you to my tea party Bianca so that you and I can chat about books and novels we've recently read. Is that alright with you?"

"Y-Yes! I'm so happy!" Bianca seemed to be an outcast, just like me so I wanted to cheer her up by saying that. Because even I would've felt happy is someone just came up to me and talked to me about the things we both have in common. I'm going to save her from despair and be her friend, because I know what it feels like to be isolated and told that you're weird or disgusting. I want to be there for her now since no one was there for me then. So she can have someone to lean on, and I can be her friend. Of course, I don't like her brother he's a cute kid and all but he keeps staring at me strangely my sweat is being formed into drops of burning liquid along with my face. Someone Please Save me!!!!!!
