As I opened my eyes, I quickly checked the surroundings. I felt the softness enveloping my whole body, seems like I'm in a bed inside a bedroom. I inspected my body, short and a little stubby legs, chubby cheeks, white and creamy skin, this body definitely belongs to a child so I'll act accordingly.
"Young master Rion, may I enter?" - the knock was accompanied by a voice, because I'm the only one inside, it must be me she's talking to.
"Just give me 10 minutes." - I said coquettishly and conversed with my system covertly.
"System, what's my background in this world?"
"Dear Host! You are Lerion Smith, the only child of the Smith family, one of the three most powerful and rich families in the continent. The other two families are the Andrew and Lawrence family which are the family of the male lead and the villain respectively. In the original course of the story, Lerion and Xavier were introduced to each other in hopes of forming friendship but Lerion is extremely averse to Xavier and this made the relationship between them salty, and without the urging of their family, they grew apart soon. The current setting is 5 years before the beginning of the novel, during the childhood of the villain. To ensure the safety of the world, the Headquarters decided that the help should be implemented early."
"Okay, with this, I'll have enough reason to stick with Xavier."
"Young master, I'm gonna enter now, okay? You need to get ready because the visitors are gonna arrive soon." - the maid said as she knocked again.
"Who's that? How should I address her?" - I need to be perfect in my portrayal so I need to know every bit of information about this world and this boy's life.
"That's your personal nanny, named Becky. The real Lerion Smith addresses her as Nanny Becky. Heads up host~ You can see prompts above a character's head which provides basic information about them. This is also the perks of your very own system 143!"
(/^ω^)/
"Guess that's a little useful." - the system visibly cheered up as it spammed emoticons.
The maid antered and I immersed myself to the role.
"Nanny, Nanny, who is the visitwor?"
"Young master, it's the Lawrence Family, I heard that they'll also bring their child here so you will meet a new friend! Are you excited?"
"Yes! Yes! New Friend for Rion~ Hurry hurry, nanny!"
As she prepared me, I talked to the system telepathically.
"What kind of kid is this Xavier? I need to know to develop a plan."
"My host is sooooo hard-working! I'll extract the data... Answering the host, Xavier is currently 10 years old this year and he is a gloomy kid. His mother died 5 years ago and 2 years ago, his father remarried. This stepmother of him often abuses this kid through words and actions such as depriving him of food, locking him in his room and many of such things. His father basically doesn't care about him much which encouraged his stepmother to torture him further. His father's inattention and her frequent abuse were amongst the reasons for the twisted values and morality of Xavier in the story."
After listening through the data, I concluded that this kid needs love and affection, and a friend is the most suitable position for me. I'll be the friend and companion that he needs.
