To be reborn as a porcelain doll Part 4

Mary chuckled as she looked at the brown-haired woman. The reason she could communicate with her in the first place was that Mary had been reincarnated into this world. Normally, the brown-haired woman would have left the room without smelling the Crown Prince's bedspread, but Mary's presence had caused a change in this world. The brown-haired woman had smelled the bedspread, and it had opened the way for her to fulfill her innermost wish and desire. Thus, Mary, being considered to have fulfilled her wish, could communicate with the brown-haired woman. However, she had learned that this communication was limited only to the brown-haired woman. Mary had tried to communicate with other servants, but it didn't work. Later, by deducing how the system itself could be strengthened, she had come to this conclusion.

"Yes, it's still valid."

The brown-haired woman's eyes lit up, and she immediately knelt down, expressing her gratitude.

"Thank you, thank you so much."

As the brown-haired woman thanked her, she was in tears, while Mary spoke in an emotionless tone.

"After becoming the Crown Princess, are you going to kneel like this in front of others?"

The woman froze at Mary's words, her eyes widening as she looked towards the source of the voice. She continued speaking with a trembling voice.

"W-Will I really become the Crown Princess? How will I do it?"

"Come to the showcase."

The woman stood up and walked towards the showcase with a hunched back. When she looked inside, she saw the porcelain doll with red hair and red eyes, which faced the door every time she entered the room. The doll had red hair flowing down to its shoulders, and the excessive red colors on its porcelain-white face made it even more striking. It was a beautiful porcelain doll, and its red-colored bangs added a special touch to its appearance.

Her luxurious attire looked so valuable that it was certain even some nobles would envy the doll. Then, the lifeless eyes of the doll, initially staring blankly ahead, suddenly moved, turning towards the brown-haired woman.

Terrified by the doll's eyes moving, the brown-haired woman screamed and fell to the ground. Her entire body trembled. Later, despite the doll's mouth not moving, the brown-haired woman heard a whisper in her ear. The brown-haired woman's entire body went numb, and beads of sweat formed on her face.

"The only way for me to communicate with you was through this doll's body. If I came with my original body, the risk of being caught and drawing attention would be too high. So, there's no need to be afraid of me. I am an angel who descended to this world to fulfill intentions that attracted the attention of the eight gods living in the sky."

"In short, as I mentioned before, I am the manifestation of your intention in this world."

The fear on the woman's face had increased as she looked at the porcelain doll that claimed to be an angel sent by eight gods to fulfill her wish.

"Alright, alright..."

After calming down, the brown-haired woman sat on her knees, waiting for Mary to speak. Then Mary spoke.

"Are you still going to kneel? Is your wish still that man?"

The brown-haired woman shook her head as she stood up from the kneeling position, but she still couldn't muster the courage to lift her head directly to the face of an angel sent by eight gods. How could she dare to look directly at it?

Mary spoke indifferently.

"Alright."

Then, a system appeared before Mary's eyes.

[Ding! Does Alyysia accept to fulfill her wish? Y, N]

"So, her name is Alyysia... Yes!"

Mary answered without hesitation in her mind. Then, as the system screen disappeared, an image of a mandrake appeared on Alyysia's left index finger. Mary, looking at it with surprise, had an expression that she couldn't control, appearing completely indifferent.

While Alyysia looked astonished and fearful, she touched the shape in her hand. Later, to remove it, she rubbed it a few times, but nothing happened. Then Mary's voice echoed in Alyysia's ears.

"Alyysia, that's my seal. There's nothing to fear. Additionally, I'll give you a recipe to make it into a perfume. You need to have a short conversation with the Crown Prince, even if it's brief, for it to work. With this recipe, slowly but surely, the heart and love of the Crown Prince will be yours."

"All right. But how should I talk to him?" Alyysia was afraid that Mary knew her name even though she hadn't mentioned it, but she tried not to show it.

"For now, try to stay close to the Crown Princess. As you fulfill her wishes, you'll automatically engage with the Crown Prince. Later, even as your relationship becomes closer, continue to fulfill the Crown Princess's wishes. This way, you'll be seen as a gentle, obedient person in the Crown Prince's eyes. Additionally, as you start gaining his love, even if you don't do much extra work, the Crown Prince will be bothered by the idea of you not doing additional tasks. He will try to talk to the Crown Princess to avoid assigning you extra work.

The Crown Princess will express that it's natural for a servant to do extra tasks, not understanding why such a conversation took place between them. She might even express her discomfort about why the topic of a servant came up in their bi-weekly meetings.

The Crown Prince will respond in an insensitive manner, suggesting that if she really needs someone to do tasks for her, she can assign another servant. 

The crown princess, then she will ask why you are being singled out and favored from other services.This will escalate into a heated argument, further widening the gap between them.

Eventually, the Crown Princess will realize that the Crown Prince doesn't see you merely as a servant.

"The Crown Princess may not love you due to favoritism or their disputes over a mere servant, so she may try to bully you or make others bully you. However, use this to your advantage. If she tries to slap you, let her, but be cautious about doing it in a crowded place. The rumors about you being slapped will reach the Crown Prince.

Even if the Crown Prince asks something, claim that it's not important. If there are slap marks on your body, try to conceal them, but keep a portion visible. Act as innocent and fragile as possible whenever you're near him. Let your body tremble, but pretend as if you're trying to control it. Avoid crying, but make sure your eyes are always teary. In difficult times, if he hugs you, cry as if your heart is breaking, and compliment him on how gentle and kind-hearted he is. This way, the Crown Prince will become more protective towards you.

Always strive to do good and make donations to charities , use your past to impress him. If you encounter bullying, try to prevent it. This way, you'll be known for having a good personality and will have a positive image in everyone's eyes. Additionally, thanks to the elixir, the number of those interested in you will increase, leading to the Crown Prince's jealousy.

This way, he will have a stronger sense of ownership towards you. Even if the current Emperor and Empress pose challenges and threats, still, beg for the Crown Prince's safety. This way, you will truly appear to love him deeply. However, if you cannot gain the favor of the Emperor and Empress dont care much, considering their age, it's likely that a change in the throne will occur soon. Thus, in the future, you will become the Empress!"

Alyysia's eyes widened, and she bowed repeatedly, expressing her gratitude.

"Thank you, thank you, Mighty Angel!

"I said there's no need to bow..."

Later, Mary adopted a respectful tone and said, "I greet the moon of the future Empire."

Upon hearing Mary's words, Alyysia's expression froze, and she lifted her eyes with an empty look, staring at Mary with her crimson eyes. She felt that Mary's appearance was no longer as frightening as before.

"Also, don't worry about communication. As long as you are a servant here, you will definitely talk to him. If you still can't succeed, you need to complain to the head steward about the slap mark on your face. However, with just a slap, they might only get scolded. But if these incidents happen near the Crown Prince's working area, and you scream pitifully, the Crown Prince will be forced to intervene.

Because he will be praised for not only maintaining order among his subjects but also for not being indifferent to the incidents involving servants. If he doesn't help, he might face criticism for his indifference, even from the other second prince alliance the nobles.

So, the Crown Prince will have to intervene, but if it happens elsewhere, he will claim not to have been present at that moment, trying to shirk responsibility. This way, you will have more opportunities to talk to the Crown Prince. You can slowly capture the Crown Prince's heart, and then stick to the initial plan I told you."

Alyysia bowed again to express her gratitude, but Mary warned her not to bow again. Alyysia left the room to make the love perfume with such simple ingredients.

While walking down the corridor, Alyysia remembered the servant who had slapped her for making a mistake and a sly smile appeared on her face. She murmured, "The slap thrown at me will come back as your death!"
