Chapter 26 First part of the plan

The morning was bright and the birds flew happily. The scent of freshly baked bread spread in the air. The gentle sound of waters from the fountain gives off calm and peace to one's mind.

Aillenne was walking alone as she had just finished her first morning class. Now, back to the usual pace, she went to the library to search for informations for her assignments and also, information regarding Heisen Empire.

The large door opened with a creak and the wooden floor first comes to view. Glancing forward, the shelves of books stood tall and proud.

There was an old chandelier overhead and the library as a whole provides a perspective of newfound world.

The scent of old books tickled her nose and her eyes were filled with sparkles as she saw the old but elegant room filled with books.

"Ahem!"

The strict looking librarian faked cough to get her attention.

"Good morning, Sir. I would like to ask for a book of Sir Stewart, The empire and economics around the world. Likewise, the Life of Almont in Golden Times by Sir Nicolas."

"My lady, this is the library but those books that you have mentioned belong to the restricted book section. You are not allowed to touch such precious books."

"But Sir--"

"Yes, I know you're still obsessed with the thought of getting the master's attention, but please don't involve the library."

He said while looking down at her from his tall seat, which helps him oversee the place.

Aillenne's face flushed in anger and embarrassment. She didn't know that the original had that disposition.

However, I badly needed the information. I cannot let this matter sit idly. I will never had a good night aleep if what I'm curious about isn't answered.

The librarian is adamant at first but when she gave the letter from her professor, that was the only time she was allowed.

Even after all those things I've gone through, the people still disregarded my existence.

What kind of employee rejects the words of its employer? Though I'm not the one who pays his salary.

But still...Hah!

Why am I living like this? The owner of this body is being disregarded. How can a mere librarian say that to a noble?

Aillenne grumbled inwardly as she gathered the heavy books in her arms and walked around to find a suitable spot for reading.

As she sat near the window where light permeates most, a raven flew near her. Like a magic, a cute box appeared next to it.

It happened a lot of times already and Aillenne would not be surprised by seeing the item inside the box.

It is a red candle. It is similar to scented candles in the past world. It smells like sweet roses and it has a calming effect. Aillenne could sleep soundly everytime she lit this candle by her bedside.

The downside however is that whenever she woke up by the morning, she would feel a weird sensation in her body. Most especially, her nether regions.

She smiled at the raven while petting it. It watched her for a moment in a close manner. It's eye looked so weird as if it is scrutinizing her overall being.

She smiled awkwardly at its behavior. She gave it food, then the raven left.

She proceed with her intention and read all information she can find.

She read first the empire and the economics around the world which contained the topics she have to write in her assignment.

Ohh...the economic practices they have is way behind of what I know. If my plan succeeds, then I'll surely reign the top and I will no longer worry of food and other necessity.

Hmmm...so because of wars, the kindoms and empire cannot grow their economic power due to constant turmoil.

The northern continent is currently having a civil war, and just like what Collin said, the products that I've thought of suits best to their needs.

Hah...how can I escape this estate and manage my own business? It's hard to decide on things to do when I cannot see the situation. I want to actively take part on it.

Even though I somewhat trust Collin, it's still much better for me to handle the things on my own. Would father allow me?

A picture of her father came to view.

"You want to go out? On what purpose would that be then? Is it so important?"

Maybe this image? Nah...

Then.

"What did you say?! Go out? Never! Lock this girl up in her room and ban all her outside activities."

No good too. Hnggg... how am I supposed to go out?

Aillenne slumped down the table and she ruffle her hair slightly.

The leather covered book with pages covered in yellow stains come to her view. The Life of Almont in Golden Times. It is what I've been seeking to have since I got the thought of being independent.

It's a narrative of Almont and his life in Heisen Empire. Sir Stewart is his friend who listened to his oral stories, then made and published the book for educational purposes.

However, after reading it through, sadly all it contains are stories directed only on Sir Almont.

I was hoping for a more detailed information about Heisen Empire.

It would be easy for her to find information if only there is a gadget and internet. Sadly, there's none.
