After taking a shower, putting on a nice dress
and brushing my hair, I went out and walked to the main table where my father
eats breakfast.
I know this isn't my life, but I really want to be with my father, now at least
I'll convince him to let me take care of the garden, so I can study magic
without anyone interrupting me or noticing.
Seriously... How dare I hug him? Most of the time we try not to talk, but I
said a lot of things and I also hugged him with my clothes full of dirt... We
didn't even have breakfast together, but today I'll go without any invitation,
he must know me and maybe he wants me.
I was in front of the doors to the dining room, I opened them and entered, at
the table there were six available chairs, two were occupied by my father and
Adelaida, his wife.
My father was sitting in front, looking at me confused, Adelaida was sitting to
his right and looked at me angrily.
I swallowed and smiled after bowing.
—Good morning! We meet again daddy, can I eat with you? —I said a little
nervous.
—D-daddy? —My father asked confused.
—Father, let's make peace, I'm sorry about what happened before, I want to be a
good daughter from now on, for you to be proud of me and...
—Ah... —Adelaida interrupted—. Honey, don't pay attention to him, after trying
to poison himself he must be saying ridiculous things, he still has side
effects apparently.
—It's not like that! —I said a little angry—. I really want to be with him... I
am his daughter after all...
—I guess you're right Adelaida. —My father said—. Elise, if you still feel bad,
it would be best if you sleep and then come eat.
—I feel fine... I guess you don't want me to be with you... Father, I hope you
think about what I said this morning, about leaving that place in my care.
—Elise, you must understand that you haven't known how to behave lately. —My
father said.
—That thing about drinking poison, playing in the dirt and being disrespectful
to your elders... Oh no... It's that age where they rebel, you must behave like
a lady to have a good marriage. —Adelaida said while blowing on her fan—.
Seriously, who educated you? We'll have to kick Rina out, she's responsible for
everything.
—Rina hasn't done anything wrong, besides she didn't have the obligation to
raise me, she's not even my mother, after all she only took care of my father's
obligation... Have a good meal, I'm going to leave, I lost my appetite.
I went out and closed the door before they treated me worse, I leaned against
the wall and slowly went down until I cried on my knees, it's strange since I
don't feel anything, it may be the feelings of the original Elise when going
through the recent embarrassment, I still can't get used to the body.
When I learn to use magic I will leave that woman without a voice, she takes
advantage of the marquis, she is just a fortune hunter, in the book, two months
after I got married, that woman killed my father, I think when Elise lost her
father she began to focus more on Noah...
—Miss Elise, what are you doing there in the apartment? —I recognized that
voice, the butler.
Felix is the butler, he is 45 years old and he is a great friend of my father,
but since I can remember I have seen Felix as a father so I trust him a lot.
—Ah, how embarrassing. —I got up and dried my tears—. I'll go to my room...
—Are you feeling bad? I'll call the doctor.
—Oh, no, it's just that I want to improve my relationship with my father.
—Why so suddenly?
—Because I have no idea what to do in this life and improving the relationship
with my father is something that Elise always wanted since she was a child. —I
said smiling.
—Now you speak in third person? I can't help you, but I will tell you that the
Marquis's favorite dessert is apple pie.
—Thanks Felix. —I gave him a hug. —Okay, I'll go to my room, I'll be studying,
tell the employees not to interrupt me.
—As you wish, have a nice day.
I went to my room, when I got there I took the book, which I had left under my
bed. I locked the door and then sat on a white sofa. I opened the book and
started reading the first chapter titled "How to activate your
powers"
"It's easier than you think, being a witch you carry magic in your blood,
I wrote this book for my future daughter, so she can guide herself and know how
to survive on her own in case I can't give it to her personally, although I
don't know if she'll find it... But if you're reading it I guess I thought
wrong... Well, first you must feel calm and concentrate, with your eyes closed
you must reflect on everything you've done, don't let anyone distract you, once
done, you will know more about yourself, this is necessary to know more about
your magic. Then don't open your eyes, you will begin to see your magic, it
will take a form that will scare you, don't be afraid, remember that it is part
of you, you must feel safe because you will make a contract with it, magic will
put you in a complicated environment, they will have a game, it depends on your
result and attitude to make the contract or not... If you fail you could die or
end up with a serious illness, but if you overcome it... Welcome to the world
of witches!
Oh, I almost forgot, the difficulty of the test depends on the color of your
magic, since the more powerful the magic is, the harder it will be to tame it.
If it is white, yellow, gray, silver or pink, your magic is level 1, which
means it is of medium difficulty.
If it is gold, copper, orange, light blue, green or brown, it means it is of
great difficulty.
If it is blue, red, violet or black, it means it is of maximum difficulty.
But in some cases it can be more than one color, but always of the same
difficulty, it is somewhat complicated to explain... I hope you don't get one
of those because I don't know about that subject.
Good luck!"
After reading I got scared, I didn't imagine I could die from a mistake, but
that's how it is...
First I must have confidence in myself, in Elise, to get to know myself better
I must abandon my former self, now I will think and act like Elise... Sorry
Melanie, I will have to leave that name, now there will only be Elise...
I hid the book again and left my room heading to the library, Elise... I
mean... I always tend to study at this time of day, I study geography, history
and etiquette books, but if I want to change my future I have to change my
routine, I will study harder, I must make my father proud, normally here a woman
doesn't study economics or mathematics, but thanks to my memories of the earth
I know how to handle those subjects.
Three hours later Rina enters the library.
—Miss Elise, you must eat, you are not in a condition to study yet, you should
rest later.
—Okay, tomorrow the new history teacher will arrive so I want to show him that
I am intelligent, if you want bring me breakfast, I will continue studying.
—Understood. —She leaves after bowing.
I focused my gaze again on the book, but someone opened it.
—Do you need anything else Rina? —I said as I turned my face towards the
door... It wasn't Rina, it was Adelaida, my stepmother.
Adelaida, a woman with a good body, the Goddess blessed her with great
attributes, her hair is curly, long and red, white skin and dark yellow eyes,
she has a mole above her thick lips, she is the same height as me, only she
looks taller because of the 10-centimeter heels, she is used to wearing tight
and long dresses, she is also a lover of jewelry. Although her character prevents
her from reaching perfection.
—How dare you confuse me with that maid? Seriously... —Adelaida said angrily.
—Is there something that the Marchioness Martold would like to talk to me
about? —I asked.
—Of course, it's about that morning show, don't you think it's too late for
Asis to please me?
Asis is my father's name.
—You should try, after all he is my father. —I answered.
—What good will it do you? You just have to concentrate on being a polite and
pretty lady so you can get a good husband, after the wedding you will break any
ties with your father.
—Good husband? Sure, someone with a good position will help my father's
business... But I want to marry someone I love or just be single.
—You know that your only purpose is to marry a noble, it is impossible to have
both things, don't be ambitious.
—Impossible? But you found both things in my father, mutual love and fortune,
right? —I get closer to her ear and whisper— Or maybe you are right, it is
impossible, otherwise you would not have an affair with the general of the
army, that man is using you, believe me.
—You are crazy! I-I would never do such a thing, what you just said is serious
and you could stain my honor with your lies. —She raised her hand and slapped
me.
—Wow, how funny because I have proof. —Of course not. —I'll show it to my
father and you'll be imprisoned for adultery, plus you'll be a topic of
conversation at parties, it certainly doesn't suit you. —I smiled as I saw her
gaze scorching—. You just have to help me please my father... If you do it will
be easier for me...
—Ahhhh! —She clenches her fists—. You don't have any of that because it hasn't
happened, I won't waste my time with you anymore, goodbye. —She left fuming.
Then Rina comes back and serves me the food, I calmly ate as if nothing had
happened.
A few hours later I go to the kitchen to
prepare an apple pie. The chef and kitchen assistants helped me prepare the
dessert, when I finished the result was wonderful, both the smell and
appearance were a delight, so following Felix's advice I went to my father's
office with the pie in my hands.
—Can I come in? —I asked.
—Elise...? —He answered from the other side of the door.
—Yes, I brought you something.
—Is it important?
I looked at the dessert for a moment.
—I suppose... I mean, of course.
—Then give it to Felix so he can give it to me.
—No, it has to be right now... Forgive me... —I open the door and enter.
—Leave immediately! —He shouted at me.
—I come in peace... —I leave the tray with the apple pie on the desk—. I know
that my attitude was not to your liking today, so I made this with my own
hands... And with the help of the employees... I-I hope you like it!
—What the hell is this? Take it away.
—First look at what it is... —I removed the lid—. Ta-chan! Apple pie, you've
been working so hard, take a break and eat that delicious dessert... Should I
give you a massage too? —I smiled.
—Just go! Oh and you can eat it or throw it away. —She said handing me the
tray.
—So you eat it or throw it away! —I quickly left.
I went to the warehouse while thinking that the only way to please my father
was going to be with magic, when I arrived I sat in one of the corners, it was
dark and dusty, but it was okay, if I didn't do it now I wouldn't be able to
move forward.
I took a deep breath and began to think and reflect on all the events of my
life as Elise. Memories from my childhood to the present...
I'm ready to see the result.
