—No me imaginaba que tu hija sería Interesado en la jardinería, este lugar se ve bonito.

Dijo un chico de unos 17 años con una cuerpo que se veía fuerte, piel blanca, labios delgados pero carnosos, grandes ojos verdes y cabello amarillo y rizado que le llegaba a las orejas como ramen.

—Oh, no lo sabía, creo que es una nueva Es su afición, aunque tiene talento e incluso convenció a los sirvientes. —dijo el marqués Martold—.

—Dicen que es una belleza, y veo que también es hábil e inteligente.

—Oh, lo es, es toda una dama.

...

Caminé hacia la entrada, Rina estaba detrás de mí, Me puse en una buena posición y levanté la mirada.

Miré a mi padre y él estaba hablando con un muchacho... Esperar... Lo es... Él es Keneth Moneti, el que me salvó de la carruaje.

Me acercaba a los dos, estaban En silencio, papá estaba avergonzado y enojado mientras los sirvientes observaban la escena mientras si era la película más esperada del año.

Al pararme frente a los dos, hice una reverencia, y al volver a levantar la cara, mi padre me dio una bofetada, acción a la que estaba acostumbrado y incluso lo esperado.

—Elise, ¡¿qué llevas puesto?! —Mi padre —dijo muy molesto al verme con pantalones.

—Era más fácil y cómodo estar de pie en este tipo de ropa que en una falda o vestido, y no quería arruinar mi ropa. —Volví a hacer una reverencia. —Mis más sinceras disculpas a nuestro huésped por haber hecho un Mala impresión.

—¡Oh, no te preocupes! —dijo Keneth—. Creo que la señorita Martold se ve bien, no sería capaz de hacer algo como plantar en un vestido, podría ser peligroso, creo que has tomado una buena decisión.

Gracias a las palabras de Keneth, mi padre se calmó un poco menos.

—Muchas gracias por entenderme. —Yo dijo con una sonrisa. —Ah, si es posible me gustaría darle las gracias por haberme ahorrado el otro día.

—¿Se conocen? —preguntó mi padre.

—Oh, sí señor, ayer salvé a la señorita Elise de un accidente de carruaje.

—So it was you who helped her? I appreciate that. My daughter is a bit absent-minded and often doesn't realize what she's doing.

—May I ask for your name? He said he would tell me if we met again. —I said, looking him in the eyes.

Rina had said her name, but I wasn't sure. Could it be someone else?

—Of course, I am Keneth Moneti, the Kingdom's prodigy knight. —He bowed and kissed my hand. —It is a pleasure to officially introduce you, Lady Elise.

I couldn't help but blush.

—I'll go back to my room, I have to change my clothes, with your permission. —I bowed and walked away quickly.

“Elise!” My father said and I stopped. “I’ll be talking to young Keneth, then I want you to join us for dinner.”

—Huh?! Yes. —I continued walking to my room at a quick pace.

Why does he treat me so well when his destiny is to kill me? He is a dangerous boy in my life, I must stay away from him as much as possible.

When I got back to my room I sat on a couch and sighed.

“Are you okay?” the feline asked as he approached. “I knew wearing pants was a bad idea.”

“In my world I wore shorts!” I complained. “Just ignore me, I’m freaking out.” I buried my face in my hands.

—What if you practice magic to distract yourself?

—Oh, yeah. —I wiggled my fingers as I thought of a cute, light blue dress I saw in my closet once.

The dress was on a mannequin and it came flying to me.

—How do you get used to it so quickly? —He said, referring to magic.

—I don't know, I just know that I need to learn a lot, and in movies it looks easy and I just imitate it.

—Stop talking weird stuff, you're only at the apprentice stage and you're already half crazy.

—I started being like this since I started talking to a cat.

I got up and went into the closet to change my clothes.

Then I returned to the garden to supervise and picked some blue orchids... Blue orchids, Elise will be known as the blue orchid of the empire when she turns 19, the title was assigned thanks to my beauty and elegance, although with today's incident I doubt I will get it in this life.

—It really is a beautiful flower. —I said as I placed it inside a hole.

I turned my gaze towards a large empty space where they would build a warehouse so I could practice magic.

This place must be beautiful.

By the end of the day we already had half the land decorated with flowers and plants that I would use for my future potions, and a path made with light stones.

All that was left was to plant more, build a room, clean and maintain the fountain, and build some benches around it.

—Good job, everyone! —I said. —Well, time to rest now.

Everyone smiled and went off to continue their other chores except for Rina who waited for me to escort me to my room and help me pick out a dress.

This time I had to wear something that would forgive my evening outfit and make the Martold family proud.

I let Rina choose the dress since she understands more about clothes in this world, In fact, Elise always wore elegant clothes in public, but it was chosen by Rina... Elise's tastes in clothes are just as simple as Rina's... Well... We're both the same now.

Rina chose a red dress with beige shoes.

I was confused, it was cute, but it was nothing compared to the extravagant dresses Rina forces me to wear.

“Why this one?” I dared to ask.

—He is not such a special guest, if the Marquis's daughter makes herself too pretty to see him, it will boost his ego, so that is why a simple dress is more appropriate, but she must not go unnoticed either, so red will catch his attention from time to time.

—What do you mean it's not very special? —I asked surprised.

Everyone knows that he is very talented for his age, he is also handsome and will be a renowned duke in the future.

—The young man came to seek patronage. He may be talented, but he is not of nobility. There are rumors that his father was a mercenary and his mother was a prostitute. Furthermore, his mother abandoned him after giving birth to him and no one wants to invest in him.

—Do you need support from nobles to rise in rank? Is talent alone not enough for you?

—To survive you need money, Kenneth will need it to buy higher quality armor and weapons, in exchange the sponsor improves his public image, but with the negative rumors surrounding Kenneth it can cause the opposite effect.

—It would be like betting with a 50% chance of winning. But my father has spent a lot of time with him...

—The Marquis was going to deny him help, but knowing that he saved your life he is thinking of giving him a chance and now Keneth is trying to convince him, you should know that convincing the Marquis is something complicated.

-I see.

So in the novel, the Marquis must have rejected him and gone to seek help from another nobleman who helped him rise.

After they put my hair up with some bobby pins and put on my makeup, I headed out to the dining room.

When I arrived, the doors opened and from the sound, everyone looked in my direction again, at the table were my father, Adelaida and Keneth.

I bowed and as I raised my face, my eyes met Keneth's, I got a little nervous and sat down.

—Are you okay? You look red, you should rest. —Adelaida said while fanning herself.

—Father, has young Moneti convinced you to help him? —I asked, ignoring my stepmother.

—How did you know I was coming for that? —Keneth asked.

—The maids previously informed me of the situation. —I answered—. Rumors spread fast... Well?

—I decided to do it. —My father replied.

—Really? —I smiled—. You always make wise decisions, father, that boy's future looks very bright.

—I know. —My father said.

—Since Elise is here, we can start eating! Oh wow, everything looks so delicious. —Adelaide commented.

—Gracias por invitarme a cenar contigo. —añadió Keneth.

—¡Joven Moneti, debes ser tan maravillosa para sentarte en la mesa del marqués después de haberlo conocido por menos de un día. —dije mientras picoteo un poco de ensalada con mi tenedor. —Llevo viviendo en esta casa desde hace mucho tiempo más de quince años y rara vez me invita a cenar... —pensé ruidoso.

Adelaida y mi padre me callaron con su miré y me quedé en silencio al instante.

—¡No quise decirlo, lo siento! Este... Realmente estoy Encantado de estar con usted.

—¡Elisa! ¿Qué dices? —dijo mi padre en un tono enojado.

—Pido disculpas por mostrar mis celos, una dama no debería hacer esto.

—¡¿Celoso de qué?! Has estado actuando así Extraño últimamente, como si fueras otra persona. —dijo Adelaida. —Será mejor que te vayas antes de que arruines más las cosas.

—¡¿Celoso de qué preguntas?! Nunca como con tú, no puedo hablar con mi padre de una manera amistosa y nunca has pasado la mitad de un día conmigo en tu vida. —Las velas se apagaron durante medio segundo, pero se encendieron arriba de nuevo. Me puse de pie. —Me iré primero, ya no tengo hambre. Que tengas un buen Noche.

Rápidamente me fui de ese lugar, ¡Mierda! ¿Por qué estoy yo? ¿llanto? Tener el cuerpo, las emociones y los recuerdos de una chica de quince años son Muy fuerte.

...

—Perdona a mi hija por este inconveniente, —dijo el marqués Martold—.

—Me siento un poco culpable, supongo que por mi visita molestarla un poco... Después de la cena me gustaría hablar con ella para evitar cualquier Malentendidos. —comentó Keneth.

—No tienes que preocuparte por esa chica. —dijo Adelaida.

"Si eso es lo que quieres, puedes hacerlo —respondió el marqués a Keneth mientras tomaba una copa de vino—. "Pero No lo recomiendo. Supongo que está en esa edad sensible, así que no pagues demasiado atención a él".
