Chereads / Deaths End Resistance / Chapter 4 - Planning

Chapter 4 - Planning

I finally finished my apology to to the servants at first they were wary because they thought it was one of my pranks but after some days of me behaving like a Saint, it looks like they don't hold any prejudices to me anymore at least on the surface.

Well there's no point contemplating about it, I apologized and they forgave me, now I just need to continue my act of Saint and gain they're trust.

Plus I have a problem a lot bigger than this

"Here's your tea my lady"

As I was relaxing at the garden, Sena, my nanny brought me the tea that I requested

I particularly don't drink tea before but because I have the body and memory of Lilliana who is very fond of tea, I've come to like it as well

"Thank you Nanny"

After hearing my thanks Nanny curtsied and went to stand behind of me while smiling, I on the other hand, picked up the tea and drunk it slowly and gracefully, good thing I got her memories because it included the etiquette lessons that my nanny teach me, I don't know what to do if i haven't got a knowledge of this, By the way Nanny is a daughter of a baron, as for why is she serving me, it's because in this world higher rank nobles such as I, a duke's daughter has a habit of picking lower ranked nobles as a personal attendant to invoke superiority

"Nanny can you bring me some confectioneries"

"Absolutely my lady"

Hearing my request, Nanny briefly refilled my empty teacup and left to fetch some candies

"The lady was graceful again today"

"That's right, ever since that day she became a saint"

"I hope she stays like this forever!"

I can hear the voices of the other servants on the back, it looks like my acting is working

Anyways what was I thinking about again? Oh yes I was planning my next steps

It's been some days since I was brought in here, and according to my observations I am indeed in Lilliana's world, one giant proof is that when i look besides me, I can see clouds from outside the barrier towards the horizon, in other words I am floating.

Correction, the Villa is floating, After the ancients went extinct, the descendants that they left behind that is the other races have nothing, they can't survive like that, so they did what humans and other races are good that, adapting.

With the frequent crumbling of the ground and natural disasters, the cities they worked hard for years to build will become dusts in mere hours, that is why the first races created a solution they created a floating city that can withstand any kind of natural disaster, after creating that, they became successful.

And after the first race accomplished the unbelievable, the others followed suit, and that marked the birth of civilizations.

Or not–

Since we're here anyways, I'll explain what I recall about the game.

So yeah the other races banded and created their own flying cities, and that flying cities soon expanded until it became countries.

Except one races, the demons, well actually there's also the Natura faction of the elves that prefer living on the ground with their world tree but we'll get to that later.

Now putting the Natura Elves Faction aside. After the god separated the ancients, the other races appeared as their descendants and one of them are demons, different from the other races, the demons are default, naturally stronger than the other races so they preferred being alone they believe that only inferior creatures like goblin likes to band together like ants, by the way goblins are also demon but they're weak and stupid so they band together to survive, back to the topic, because of that way of living, alone traveling from place to place, always exposed on the ground with natural disasters, they adapted to suit the lifestyle on the ground, their hearts was replaced by mana crystals just like monsters, and because of that they are prejudiced with some extremist even saying that they are no different from 'them', Trivia: you can recognize a demon because of their mana crystal horns, it is said that the more beautiful their horn is the more stronger they are.

'Them' - the being they called 'them' are the monsters of this world, they are most commonly called as 『cryst』 crysts are monsters made out of mana crystals or at least their skin are, they commonly appear on the dungeons, abyss and ravines on the ground and they are the main reasons why the ground is crumbling, they ate away the mana ores that can naturally be found underground, they ate them and turn them into mana crystals as seen on their bodies. Crysts are ranked with the lowest being called monsters and the highest being called as catastrophes.

Mana Ores and Crystals - Mana Ores are the mineral most commonly found underground and are the main food of crysts that turn them into crystals, Mana Crystals are minerals with many uses ranging from Magic catalysts, golem course and even the main Powe source of thw floating cities. Because of that, they are in such high demands, people are coming down to the ground entering dungeons to hunt monsters and exchange them for money, and that people are called adventurers.

"My lady here's your confectionery"

Ooh finally it's here

Nanny handed me a small box of sweets

"Thank you, also tell the necklace maid before to come to my room later"

"Understood"

Mhm.. nothing beats relaxing on a garden sky high and having tea accompanied with sweets~
