"Have you heard the rumor that is going around lately?"
"No. What kind of rumor are talking about?"
"The rumor that the Duke's daughter has a MEP capacity that is even higher than some veteran magicians who were training their whole lives!"
"What!?"
"And, that's not all! According to the information me and my collaborators gathered, she has the Earth attribute and the Glacier and Thunder sub-attributes!"
"Oh my god! The daughter of the Duke is so amazing. The guy who gets to marry her in the future must be one of the luckiest guys in the world. If only I was born a few years later."
"I feel you man. It's hard for guys like us."
"That's rough, buddy."
"Hey! Who are you! Why are you butting in on our very important conversation!"
"Ahhh!"
********************
After the ceremony happened, dialogues like that were abundant in every place I know. The market, the tailor's shop, even in the central plaza. Even though I never actually went to those places, I overheard some of the servants talking about how they heard conversations about me everywhere they go.
Anyway, it looks like I have something that surprised everyone. That shows that I still have a lot to learn if I am going to be able to live this new life of mine as well as I can.
Right now, I am in my room. It doesn't sound like much but, it has a soft, fluffy bed and multiple drawers and one cabinet. Actually, there should be a study room here so I should be able to learn everything I need from there. I will go ask if I can use it.
I go out of my room and walk to the study room. When I reach the door to it, I knock.
"Can I come in?"
"Why, sweetie?"
Oh.
Never mind.
I don't want to disturb mother while she is still inside of the study room. Every time I see her while she is inside the room, she is working on something important. That is why, I will just go to the library instead.
"Mother, do you know where this city's library is?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"I want to research something important."
"Alright then. Just, make sure that you are accompanied by, at the very least, 5 guards. Wait, I will ready them for you. They will wait for you outside of the mansion."
"Thank you, mother."
"You are welcome, sweetie."
I finish talking to mother through the door and walk towards the stairs. I go down the stairs and head to the entrance. I open the doors and see the garden.
Mother said that gardens that are as big as these are only reserved for very high-ranking nobles like my family, the Rosceltos.
I sit on one of the walls around the garden and wait there for the guards. After around 5 minutes, I see 5 guards come out through the door.
"Hello, Young Miss. We are the guards who were requested by your mother to escort you to the library. Since you don't know where it is, we will be telling you the names of every shop or landmark along the way so that you can remember how to go there when you are older."
"Ok. Nice to meet all of you and thank you for your assistance."
I curtly reply to the knight who looks to be the leader of this gang.
I then walk towards the road while leaving the knights.
"Hey, you are the ones who are supposed to escort me, right?"
"U-um, yes, we are. Let's go fellows!"
I snapped them out of their daze and followed them through the town. During our little trip, I saw so many traders smiling as they transported crates that were filled with their merchandise, random townspeople talking to one another, and children playing around on the street.
If I succeed my house, I will make sure that people will be able to live like this. Even if I have to get rid of things that are important to me. The happiness of other people far outweigh the happiness of only me.
20 minutes later-
We finally arrive at the library.
I look up at the sign.
'Axanon National Library'.
And yes, I already learned how to read, thanks to the lessons I got from my mother and my teacher.
Alright, let's get down to business.
I enter the library.
Wow.
There are no other words to describe how I am feeling. There are rows upon rows of books inside of gigantic bookracks. Then, all of those bookracks inside of this massive library.
Where do I even look to find the books I want to read?
Wait a minute.
If there are all of these books in one place, it would be very easy for a thief to come in and steal a few and not get caught for a long time. That means, there must be a person overseeing all of them.
Probably a person with an ability that can track every book and its movement. I should look for a person who fits that description. While I was thinking that, a woman appeared in front of me. She looks to be in her late 30's and has red hair and crystal blue eyes.
"Hello, what do you want kind of books do you want to read?"
After saying that line, I am pretty sure that she is the one in charge.
"I want to find some books about magic, politics, and the world map."
"Alright then. Ah, yes. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Reine Cratia Elsher. What is yours?"
"My name is Luscia von Roscelto."
"Oh my. The Duke's daughter? Well, make sure you learn a lot from the books."
"I plan to."
********************
It has been a week since I started going to the library. And, right now, I am in a carriage. Why am I in a carriage?
Well, ever since my mother found out that I have been going to the library for some time now, she wanted to bring me to a school that is good enough for her 'studious' daughter.
That is why, I am going there right now.
When I was Psi, I wasn't the best at learning. Zeta and Sigma were the best ones. That is why, I will make sure that my experience there will be very fruitful.
"Young Miss, we have arrived at the school."
"Okay. I will be going now."
"I wish you good luck."
I walk out of the carriage and look at the school. This place is very big. I hope I don't get lost while I am still inside.
Oh!
That's right!
Mother gave me a recommendation card for the class I will be entering. She also said that only me and one other kid will be joining this class during this school year.
Ok!
The card says that the class I am joining is Class-6C. According to the map, it is located at the end of the hallway to the right of where I am now.
Let's go.
I started walking through the hallway until I see man standing there. He must be my new teacher.
"Oh! Are you Luscia?"
"Yes, Mister."
"Ok, good timing. We were supposed to introduce you to your new classmates a bit earlier."
"Sorry for being late."
"No no. It is alright. It is time to see your new classmates now. Oh, and by the way, call me Mr. Anthony."
"Ok, Mr. Anthony."
He nods and opens the door.
I peek inside.
There are 11 other kids sitting on their chairs. Are all of them from noble families?
"Ok class! We have a new student who will be joining you from now. She is the daughter of Duke Roscelto. Introduce yourself."
I step forward.
"My name is Luscia von Roscelto. It is very nice to meet all of you. I hope we can all get along with each other."
I then bow.
"Hey, do you want to be friends with me, Luscia?"
I look up and see a girl with golden blonde hair and sparkling emerald eyes.
"What? Friends?"
"Yes! Oh yeah! My name is Sierra. I don't have a last name but, that doesn't matter. So, do you want to?"
"Um, sure."
"Yeah, thanks!"
That was how I got my first friend in this life, Sierra. Later on, Sierra proved to be a person who could equally match me in every aspect.
