Chapter 7: Sebastian Camp and the Magic Instructor.
It had been 2 days since my visit from the palace, Since then I tried locking myself in my room, I often go out to eat and have a stroll sometimes to not worry my parents, but usually, I coop inside my room, formulating a new plan to avoid my doom.
That day when Prince Louis introduced himself to me, I think I just made the worst decision I have ever made.
"I am more superior in rank than you are" He said.
"Oh really? Then are you also a dukes son?" I asked but he shooked his head 'No' So I frowned.
"I am Louis Graceheart, the second prince of Graceheart kingdom," He said as my breath hitched. I then looked at him like he was joking right? but he had that look that he was really serious.
GG
I hurriedly but formally curtsy to him and ran away. As quickly as I could.
After that, I earned 3 hours of disciplining speech and wrote 100 paragraphs to reflect what I learned from my father. My brain died the time that my hand broke from making sentences and writing it down, this is a mental child abuse ToT
My Father also knew that I met the 2nd prince and my rude behavior, I mean that wasn't rude, I curtsied before I left.
It took a whole day of my mother convincing my Father to let me off this time, and now...
Since the day that I reincarnated, I've been doing reckless over reckless things every time I goof around, and to avoid that or rather, to chain me up in doing that, they decided to give me my own personal butler.
Isn't it a little early for me to meet Sebastian Camp?! Also known as, one of the main Bachelor of the game?!
Did I really changed the flow of the game with just changing my attitude?!
Oh and by the way, Sebastian Camp is 15 years old when he was originally assigned to me, but now that I've changed it, The Sebastian Camp that I will meet is the 12-year-old Sebastian.
I wonder if he's still the same 15-year-old Sebastian or not, either way, I don't have anything to do with it, as long as I could change my fate and avoid them as possible, I'm good.
Come to think about it, I'm turning 10 years old next month, which means, that would also be the time that I get to meet my new adoptive little Brother, Syd.
Oh, how I'm looking forward to it. He must be so cute as a little child. The game didn't bother to make a scene where Syd appeared as a child, but they just let Syd narrated it. Damn lazy artists, and we donated so much to have a scene of Syd's childhood memories, but it's not that I could go back now to see it since I've already died.
"Rachel, This is Sebastian Camp, Their family served us for many generations, His Father had also served me for roughly 35 years and counting, instead of treating him as a servant, He's more like a close friend of mine and hopefully, The two of you will get along very well," My Father said as he introduced to me a young boy who was bowing at us with his hand rested on his chest.
Even with not looking at his face yet, He still looks mature!
"You can raise your head now"
Oh~ He still looked like the 15 years old Sebastian Camp, but his face and height are a little smaller, but he's still tall considering his age!
The 12-year-old Sebastian is still the same, Well, a handsome man will always be a handsome man even if he's a child.
His Red hair really is attractive though that color will soon fade into brown as he grows up, Rachel is so blessed, Having two handsome boy under one roof! Of course, Syd included, My father is well...so-so (E: What does that mean)
"Greetings, I am Rachel Vallemont, I will be in your care," I said as I curtsied. Since Rachel has been a bitch in Sebastian's first impression, I'll try changing that.
"N-no, I, I'll be in your care," Sebastian said, flustered as he bowed to me. What was that?
"Right, before I forgot, Rachel, The Crown Prince will be visiting us today, though he did say this after you left him suddenly," My mother said, emphasizing the word 'suddenly'
I know, I was a little careless at that time, so stop emphasizing it! geez. Wait.
"Visit? The prince?! The 'What plan?' Guy?! Here?!"
"What are you talking about?" My Father asked as I stiffened up and waved nothing to him.
"N-nothing! and Mother, Can we make an excuse for today?" I asked, hoping that we could, or I'm seriously sandwiched with both these main bachelor guys!
"My, The Crown Prince already left an hour ago, right now, he must be near our household..."
This is bad, isn't this bad? The story never once said that Prince James visited Rachel's place, rather it was Rachel who kept on visiting the palace to have a 'chat' with the prince. Heh chat more like 'flirt', dream on Rachel, you're such a bitch.
Wouldn't that mean that I'm also calling myself a bitch? Wait no, that's not the whole point! Move to Plan B.
"Mother, I'm feeling not fine today, I think I need to rest in my room for today"
Mother pointed her index finger to her cheeks and thought, isn't this the animated way of thinking?!
"I see, and I thought you were very much looking forward to today's first class with your teacher, what a waste, you were looking so much about this person too."
"I guess we need to wait for another month to have an appointment with this man, he's a busy person after all"
Mother, I feel like you're threatening me. Ah fine! My plan didn't succeded, but I don't want to give up this opportunity either. Days passed and I forgot that in this world magic existed, and since Rachel never once thought that magic is useful, she never tried to enhance it.
Now that I'm here, I made sure to have an appointment in taking classes with this person who is known as the best magic instructor. His appearance was unknown but I always heard about this person in the game.
Rosette even knew him as he instructed him in using her magic too, well that was when she unknowingly tried to save a man from danger and this person took interest in her skills. I'm a jealous woman, after all, So I want to take classes under him too.
"W-wait, I feel fine all of the sudden, I will meet the prince as well as meet the instructor, just don't let this opportunity slip" I replied gloomily to my Mother as she smiled widely.
Why do I feel like I've been deceived?
"I see, then prepare to see his highness the Crown Prince and the instructor, they will arrive together at the same time, The instructor is his royal highness' brother, The crown prince's uncle," My mother said as she left smiling widely.
So the instructor is his highness' uncle...Woah, that is....wait
"UNCLE?!"
"pfft--Ray, Do you often lose your ladylike behavior in your home? Let me remind you, us nobles should be aware of our surroundings every time. Like they said the walls have--"
I curtsied myself in front of the crown prince who just arrived suddenly without any noises, Am I the only one who felt it? or the air just became heavy?
"Greetings to his highness, It's a pleasure for you to visit our humble place (SN: place, house, home? LOL correct me if you know), the lively atmosphere changed drastically as soon as I heard your ever so pleasant voice," I said as I forced out a smile.
"Why do I feel like you're being rude to me?" The prince said smiling forcibly back at me too.
"Don't mind my attitude, Your highness, as you said earlier, I often lose my ladylike behavior" I smiled at him,
"The two of you get along well, that's good, I won't have to worry about my nephew that much then" that was then I realized a middle-aged man that was standing next to him. Is this the magic instructor that I've heard so much?
He looked like the King in some aspects. Blonde hair and blue eyes. He was smiling at us as he listened attentively.
I composed myself and curtsied to the man as he stopped me "I am Marlon, No need for formalities, They suck in my opinion, Besides, We'll be family eventually" he said as I agreed to him.
"I also thought of the same thing, I hated formalities, It's good that I have someone to talk to familiarly, at least the bad air lessen a little"
"Did you just called me bad air?"
"Before I forgot, this is my newly appointed butler, Sebastian Camp,
This was supposed to be your first day, My apologies for making you work right then"
"N-no, It's my pleasure"
"Don't ignore me!" Of course, I ignored him. Haha, payback time.
"The two of you are interesting," Marlon said.
"Right, Ray! The delicacies in your house are the talk of the town lately, I want to try it" The Crown Prince said as he walked towards me.
"Ray? Forgive me, But you've been calling me Ray since you appeared your face on my territory"
"It's a nickname! a nickname, we'll soon be husband and wife, I'll call you whatever I want"
"Like hell, I would want to be--"
"Oh, Crown Prince, It's good to see you here, apologies, I forgot to tell something to my daughter" My father butted in before I could finish what I was saying.
"Duke Vallemont, A pleasure"
"Rachel," My father spoke up with his serious voice.
"Yes, father?"
He smiled widely as he could and replied, "You know what I meant" and he left by that word.
Sebastian and James shivered by my side.
"The Duke smiled but why do I felt like that was a threatening smile?"
Whoever said that I salute you for knowing what that smile meant.
If I mess up again, who knows what my father will do to me this time, and all I wanted to do was avoid these two characters as possible and focus on magic training!
This isn't a game anymore in which, I could always retry if something goes wrong.
Could I possibly avoid these bachelours at all?
My carefree and long life...
