This body is really skinny and weak. Judging from the looks, it's around thirteen or fourteen – maybe fifteen at most. Well, that doesn't matter for now. I'll turn this body into something perfect and strong anyway. First, I need to figure out what's around me.Huge trees surround me on all sides, and I can't see anything beyond them. Is there a path somewhere? "Ehh, I don't have any magic power or special ability at all. People who get sent to another world usually become strong or unbeatable. And me? I can't even light a flame, no system screen, nothing..."For about two hours I wandered around, trying all kinds of silly poses and phrases, but nothing worked. The only good thing I found was that, even if this body is weak, it's actually really beautiful. The original owner probably never even realized it, too busy suffering. When I went to a small lake, washed up, and saw my reflection in the water, I almost didn't believe it was me."At least I'm alive and healthy," I thought. "If I can just find something in life to enjoy, that's already enough for me."I walked for five hours. I didn't meet a single person. My stomach hurt from hunger, my legs were sore, and there was no end in sight."Hurry up, move, move!"I heard voices. Maybe they could help me?"Hey! People! I'm over here! Please help me!""Catch him! Hurry, grab him, he saw us! Surround him!""What? Who are they? I don't have the strength to run… What am I supposed to do now?"I had thought they might be good people, but they turned out to be slave traders. I couldn't run far and they caught me easily. I was young and weak, so there was nothing I could do against them. Because I was "too pretty," they locked me in a separate cage to sell me for a higher price. They gave me food and took me somewhere, then threw me into a small dark room. It was narrow and pitch black.I was kept in that prison for a full month. During that time I recovered a bit and even gained a little weight, but I learned almost nothing about this world. The days passed in boring darkness."Get up! Out, now!""What? Where are you taking me?""Don't ask questions, or you'll be punished!""Okay, okay, I'm coming!"They tied a cloth over my eyes. I had no idea where we were going. After about three hours of riding, they finally stopped and removed the blindfold. In front of me stood a huge palace, beautiful and imposing, servants walking in and out."Move. Walk," a guard snapped."So they're going to sell me here, huh? … Tch, I'll find a way to escape somehow," I thought.We entered the palace. It was massive and gorgeous, marble floors, paintings on the walls, servants everywhere."Here he is, Head Butler," the trader said. "This is the boy. I brought him like you asked."Sebastian Vale, the man in the black suit with a cold, sharp gaze, looked me over from head to toe.Sebastian Vale: "Good. Bring him here. I'll check if he has any illness."He came closer, grabbed my chin, and poured some bitter liquid into my mouth."Aaah! What is this? It burns!"Sebastian Vale: "Medicine. It kills all viruses and sickness. …All right, I'll take him. You can get your payment from the guards outside."The trader took his money and left. Now I belonged to this man. "I'm not afraid," I told myself. "I'll definitely escape someday."Sebastian Vale: "Come here. Put this on.""What is that? I'm not putting it on!"Sebastian Vale's eyes narrowed.
Sebastian Vale: "You're the one who forced my hand."He stepped in, grabbed my arm, and snapped the metal ring around my wrist. The moment it touched my skin, a sharp pain shot through my whole body."No! Aahhh! What is this?!"Sebastian Vale: "This is a wrist collar. Only three people can remove it: the master, his wife, and their daughter. Without them, it's impossible. If you refuse orders or try to take it off yourself, you'll be punished. A strong electric shock will hit you – you could even die. Obey the rules, or you'll suffer. Understood? Now I'll show you your work. This is the Astraheim Kingdom, one of the six great kingdoms. Let's go."My jobs were washing dishes, carrying loads, taking care of the horses – all kinds of chores. Luckily, I could manage them; in my previous life I had done a lot of work by myself anyway. The only bad part was having to wake up very early every single day.Three months passed like that. I was still here, working as a slave. Running away was impossible; if I went too far from the palace, the wrist collar would activate and I might die.In that time, I learned a lot about this kingdom. Astraheim is large and powerful, with a big population, but it doesn't get along well with the neighboring kingdoms. The king has only one daughter. The other servants say she is very beautiful and talented, two years older than me. I'm fourteen now, so she should be sixteen. Over three months, I've gotten much stronger than before.King Arthur Everhart:
"Daughter, what more do you want? We've already given you everything you asked for. What else do you need?"Queen Elena Everhart:
"Your father is right, dear. What are you still unhappy about?"Princess Lina Everhart:
"Father, Mother, I want a personal servant. The ones you chose for me don't suit me. I want to pick one myself. Please, give me permission."King Arthur:
"Do as you like. Take any servant you want. Just don't leave the palace, understood?"Lina:
"Yes, I understand! I'm going!"Lina walked away, thinking to herself:
"Now then, who will be the right one for me? I need someone who fits my experiments and can handle all of my work properly…"
