As soon as we get back to my room, Rizza told another maid to look after me since she will be meeting the head of the house, my father.

I wanted to stop her but I didn't really understand what happened back there so I just let her judgement rule. I believe she knows what's right since she's from this world.

I was left alone with Klio, another maid with short hair. Unlike Rizza, her haircut looks like that of the ones men use. It's weird at first glance but I think she looks dashing.

Earlier she told me that I can ask her anything and make her do everything so I told her I want to read books.

She wanted to bring me to the library on the north side of the house but Rizza told her to keep me here for a while so she offered to bring the books to me instead.

It's been hours since I started opening my eyes to the knowledge center of this world and I just can't believe what I've read.

The language is obviously different from my world but I guess Serra didn't neglect studying a bit when she was still alive. I can easily read the words even though they felt foreign to me. It's actually fascinating.

"Uhm...to be honest, miss. Why don't you try surfing the net too? I believe that would entertain you better?"

Again, I hear that word. Why do they keep telling me to surf the net? What is that even? Is that a different way of reading?

Frowning, I turn towards her.

"How...do you do that? Surf...the net? What is that exactly?"

Her eyes widen and I swear, I saw pity in them before she shakes her emotion away.

"Oh miss, it must have been hard... Do not worry, I will teach you everything that I know of! You shall live in luxury the way you should have been from the very start!"

Wow. I guess...it's nice that I came here as a kid. With this body, I won't look crazy but I would just look curious.

She pulls out something from her pocket. It looks like a box but when she tapped on it, it shone a bright light.

Quickly, I hide behind my pillow.

"What...is that?!" I ask, surprised.

"Oh! I apologize miss. You shouldn't look close at it or it may damage your eyesight. You have to..."

For hours, she taught me everything about that box. She said it's called a smartphone and that it's used to communicate with people. It can also be used to entertain yourself when you're alone.

It's really outlandish especially when I saw people inside of it. I swear the person who made it must be richer than the imperial family with this invention. It's really convenient to have one!

I didn't know how long I was studying that phone but Rizza came in with my dinner on hand. She looks kinda surprised with what Klio and I were doing but she dismisses her instead.

I wanted to still study the phone but it's Klios and I can't ask for her belonging just because I'm the lady of this house.

"Miss?"

I look at Rizza and she hands me my utensils.

"I apologize. I was distracted."

"You do not have to be jealous, miss. The boss is preparing everything and you will have all the things that you wish for in no time. You will have your own."

"I will?" I ask, surprised.

"Mr. Kim will never allow for you to have nothing. I even saw him earlier while he was planning to transfer some businesses under your name. Well, I wouldn't be surprised if you already have condominiums now," she says confidently.

"Condominiums? What are those? Are they like a smartphone?" I innocently ask.

She looks at me warmly before fixing my hair.

"You will learn everything you have to, miss. You will be able to understand them soon. For now, you can just relax."

This family must be really rich. To think that I will have businesses under my name at such a young age...

I don't say anything. I just wish for good days to come since everything here is different than what I'm used to. I hope nothing unfortunate happens now or at least until I'm ready enough to counter any bad omen.

The next day, I wake up with two pair of eyes watching me.

"Kyaaah!"

Shocked, I hide under my blanket.

"What? Are these bandages scaring you? We're fine. This is just normal in this household," the boy named Samsik starts.

I take a peek and he's with that other boy named Jwo. They both look like they were tortured unlike yesterday. They are really covered in bandages but that's not what scared me!

"We came here to apologize after being punished earlier but we didn't expect for you to still be asleep even though it's already afternoon now."

Okay. I...understand their good intention but...

"H—How could you enter a maiden's...room without her permission?!" Frustrated, I didn't expect I would shout at them.

Even they were startled but how can I stay silent when I am still in my nightgown?! Being my brothers doesn't excuse this embarrassing act.

Rizza enters my room and again, my brothers are punished with running a hundred laps outside.

My brothers didn't want to follow her orders but she showed them a paper signed by my said father. It said there that she can punish my brothers or any servants that would do anything bad that might involve me.

"I will prepare your lunch now, miss. Earlier, I bought your breakfast but you were fast asleep so I thought you wouldn't want to be bothered..."

Oh. I must be too tired from yesterday's tour.

"Thank you, Rizza," I reply.

"It is alright. By the way, the boutique will be coming in a bit later, young miss."

I smile. "Okay!"

I don't know how long has it been since my brothers started running outside. I'm even done with eating lunch and taking a bath. Rizza has been peeking on my balcony for a few times now but the clothes in front of me occupies my mind more.

I just can't believe the fashion trend in this world. Some clothes were ripped on purpose and some are too sheer! There are also these short tops that they call crop tops!

Are these really supposed to be worn? For goodness' sake, I am a kid.
