The Aftermath

I stared at particularly nothing – just at the pure white ceiling in my bedroom while lying on the bed.

The party was finally done. Fortunately, it seems like I wasn't gone that long earlier while I was in the garden and no one noticed my brief disappearance. After what happened with Anakin... I didn't see him again at the party, and when I came back to the Party Hall, I just went with the flow. I would smile whenever someone would talk to me, acting as the eldest elegant daughter of the Euridice Family they want me to be, even though on my mind, I'm mostly in my own world, thinking about various and different things.

Nothing much really happened after that. After the party ended, the Duke didn't say anything. He didn't even spare me a glance and just left directly. The Duchess just glared at me and Hariz was already gone before I knew it. In the end, although my debutante was quite grand, I didn't feel any ounce of happiness or enjoyment. I just felt tired, just as I expected.

Amy walked with me on my way back to my bedroom. While we were walking, I would notice her giving me worried glances, and I chose to just pretend that I don't see anything. When we finally, arrived in front of my bedroom's door, Amy wished me a happy birthday again, and after saying our goodnight and goodbyes, I entered my bedroom – Finally, I'm alone again.

After changing into more comfortable clothes, I immediately dive into my king-size bed. When the soft mattress met my tired body, I couldn't help but close my eyes. As I thought... just lying like this is really comfortable. If I can, I would just stay like this forever.

With a sigh, I opened my eyes again.

"Gaos?" I called, suddenly feeling the urge to do so.

When no one answered me, I didn't try to call him again. Maybe he's resting already, or maybe he's doing something – which makes me curious about how exactly does he spend his time inside that dark dimension of mine. Or maybe he can hear me calling for him, and he's choosing to just ignore me.

Talking with the Second Prince earlier really made me think about a lot of things, and I guess he also made me realize some things, like the fact that I am burning. However, I still didn't like how he just read my emotions without my permission. That's definitely why I mentioned his inferiority complex towards his brother as my... little payback.

Now that I finally had time to rest and think right after a party that drained my energy, I couldn't help but think about the future. Just... what exactly should I do?

Right now, my mind is more focused on thinking that I should, of course, avoid execution. Next on the list that's already in progress is my relationship with the Euridice family, although they probably don't really consider me as a 'family'. However, aside from these two, my main goal is definitely Magic. It's something that will never change no matter what happens, and I will continue to explore and learn it. The question is... what would I do if I've already done all of that?

Once everything is already finished. What would I do once I finally graduated from the Royal Academy?

Of course, It's not certain yet that it will happen and everything will go according to my plans, but I'm thinking 'if' it really does happen... then what's next?

I'm really not sure yet how things will end up or turn out with my relationship with my family but... I guess I could always become an adventurer. Besides being an adventurer, there are also a lot of other works that I can do and choose from.

The Lansera Kingdom is one of the biggest Kingdoms there is after all. There are a lot of adventures, mercenaries, knights, and more here. If I have all the requirements, maybe I can also become a teacher at the Royal Academy or other Magic school. Or if I somehow want to have a non-magic related work, maybe I can work as a fashion designer, start a restaurant or become a shop owner.

Since I'm now thinking about all my possible choices, it's suddenly hard to choose and all of those things I mentioned are just one of the few things out of many choices I can choose from.

This otome game world isn't exactly set in medieval or some sort... it's just what it is – a world with Magic.

The technology isn't as advanced as the technology we have in my world before, but that's probably because we rely more on Magic here. Although the Palace and most of the large buildings here remind me of medieval Europe, there are also a few buildings and houses that have a different style. It's really hard to explain, but I guess the one I have to blame is the game creators.

I actually haven't thought about it before but... it was said that only thirty-seven percent of this game world's population has Magic, and the remaining sixty-three percent doesn't have Magic. But even if this is the case, not everyone who has Magic has a strong 'attribute' or talent for it.

"I guess I got lucky..." I couldn't help but whisper to myself.

If I somehow got reincarnated in a world with Magic but doesn't have the ability to use it, I think I would... just give up on everything. Or maybe I'll find some alternative solutions for that if I'm fortunate or determined enough. Maybe I'll also just lose my mind while doing so.

Even if it's Dark Magic, I'm more than grateful. I know that people see it as something 'evil' and that's probably because it's something rare. They're not used to it, and people tend to fear what they don't know.

But I can change that.

And now... I just need to wait a few more months until I enter the Royal Academy.
