Once Again Into The Light Again ─ Chapter 19
I've just heard how great the Elve King is.
However, if it is possible to sign a contract with the Elve King….
If it is possible to make a contract with a spirit revered as a god, revenge on the Edenberg Empire would be possible.
In the book 'The History of the Elve', it was written that the elve that made a contract with a human did its best to grant the contractor's wishes in return for staying in this real world.
'Please, please'
I was eager for Lu to respond positively.
Sadly, however, Lu shook her head.
"From my point of view, I think you may be limited to the higher elves."
"What? Uh, Why?"
Lu gave a simple answer.
"It's because of the mana."
"..... mana?"
The unexpected answer left me speechless.
"Yes. No matter how large the bowl is, if there is not enough water, you cannot summon elves. Because that is the rule of the spirit world. I don't know if the master's mana increases as she gets older, but I think it is."
Her reply made me droop in an instant.
Still, I couldn't get rid of the lingering feelings, so I asked her back.
"...... even if you use the power of Mana Stone when summoning elves? Is that not enough?"
"The Mana Stones are just assistants. Basically, they can't help you break the limits of the elves."
Lu replied firmly.
'but…..'
I can't simply summon an elve like that.
But, perhaps because I was expecting a little in my heart, I became more gloomy than I thought.
'Luminas….'
I pondered.
The God of Light.
As I've said before, reborn after terrible days in the dark, I have come to love the light very much.
To be precise, if you go into a dark and narrow place, your trauma will be revived.
So I've always been looking for a place with good light.
Even when I became the princess of the Elmir Empire and changed my religion to the god of light, I did not feel that much.
Because the existence of light was just good.
But the god I've known so far, it wasn't actually God.
Besides, he was the king of the elves that always existed by my side
For some reason, he felt friendly.
As if he's always been there for me.
I put my chin up and imagined Luminas.
Meanwhile, I suddenly thought about the Spring Festival.
As Lu said, isn't the Spring Festival actually a prayer for the God of Light?
At the same time, I remembered my mother's agony because she didn't have enough events to hold at the Spring Festival.
'Can't I help my mother, by any chance?'
I could feel my head spinning fast.
Until now, everyone interpreted Luminas as the god of light.
But according to Lu, he is the elve king.
There I took a hint.
'Why don't we hold an event for elves at the Spring Festival?'
As a result of my continuous view of the elves, they are afraid of being forgotten by humans and are very fond of bustling festivals.
I don't know what Luminas is like, but at least a king who cares about his elves will be happy to see the Spring Festival where events are held for the elves.
In addition, it will also improve people's awareness of the elves.
Nowadays, people think of elves as fairies inhabiting primitive things such as flowers, forests, and trees.
That's probably because the number of elves has decreased.
I was like that before I was reborn and lived a life with the elves.
But this time it's different.
I know what elves are like, and I know they like people.
If I was going to be an elve master in the future, I needed to raise awareness of the elve.
The idea went on and on.
In order not to forget this idea, I started looking for paper and writing it down one by one.
Soon after, a draft was drawn up.
'That's enough!'
I looked in at the paper with joy.
I was very careful in making the plan.
By using vocabulary so that I don't look too smart and look appropriately like a seven-year-old.
The plan that was created in that way seemed pretty good.
Above all, it seemed that the freshness that had never been before could appeal to other people.
If my mother also likes this project, it'll probably go smoothly.
I felt happy after a long time.
These days, I was excited to think about elves and revenge.
My mother is a person who doesn't express herself well on the outside, even if it is difficult.
If I could, I wanted to give her even a little help.
I slowly closed my eyes and thought.
If I successfully end my revenge…..
…. However, I've never even thought about it, but if it's possible.
I wanted to be with my new family as long as I could.
They are the people who made me live again when I was born again and gave up the will to live.
I'll never be able to thank them enough.
I pulled the rope and called the lady outside.
"Will you send someone to my mother and tell her I'm going to visit?"
"I'll take your word for it."
While I was sending the maid, I revised the draft several times.
It will be announced that this beautiful spring has come because of the presence of the god of light, as well as the spirits of light, flowers, and trees.
How about making an artwork or a play based on fairy tales related to elves?
Of course, the most important part is praising the God of Light.
I'm revising the plan little by little, and the maid is back.
"I'm sorry, but…."
With such luck, she continued with her troubled face.
"The Empress said that she is now going to the Imperial Palace."
I put my head to the side.
"Is she seeing my father?"
"Yes, she says so."
"Then I'll go to the Imperial Palace."
I jumped down from my seat.
"Please send a message to my father's palace."
Having said that, I dressed up in outdoor clothes with the help of my maids.
This is because, as a princess, I couldn't neglect my decoration when I went out.
After completing all the decorations with help, I headed to the Sun Palace where my father and mother are located.
Thanks to the advice given in advance, I was able to go to the audience room where the two of them were right away.
"I see the light of the Empire."
When I greeted them and looked up, they were looking down at me with unhappy faces.
My father opened his arms and beckoned to me.
"That's enough of a stiff greeting. Come here."
"Oh, my."
My mother didn't just lose either.
Mother smiled softly and spread her arms.
"Aisha, come here."
There was no one around except for the escort.
But as expected, The question was, 'Do you like your dad?' and 'Do you like your mom?' was difficult.
Despite seeing my hesitant face, my mother and father did not stop. Rather, they had a small argument with each other saying 'Aisha likes me more.'
"..... don't fight, both of you."
I thought about it, and in the end I gave both of them a hug once.
My father's arms were still strong and warm.
The hand was still stroking my hair.
My mother's arms smelled soft and nice.
I feel it almost every day, but it was still very good.
For the past seven years, my parents have embraced me with consistent love.
"Our Aisha is getting prettier every time."
My mother patted me on the back as if I was so cute.
My father was looking at us both with warm eyes.
I squirmed in the arms of the two of them, and eventually I got to the point where I came from.
"In fact, I came here today because of the Spring Festival."
"Spring festival?"
"Yes, there's a plan I'd like to do for the festival."
I said up to that point.
It was a bit embarrassing to talk about the details.
"Really?"
But just by listening to it roughly, my father seemed to notice that I was trying to help my mother.
"I heard from scholars that you're studying very hard, but you've even made a plan in the meantime. Aren't you working too hard on yourself?"
My father looked down at me with a worried face.
But I shook my head.
"Not at all. I do everything I want to do."
Then a faint smile came to my father's face. It was a smile that made me proud.
"Also."
I continued to speak seriously.
"Brother Isis is studying much harder than this."
His successor, brother Isis, learned and worked, the amount of work was beyond imagination.
No matter how much he was called the Crown Prince, it was a really murderous schedule.
Of course, my brother who ends up getting rid of all the necessary work is also him.
There is no doubt that he is truly a genius.
Anyway, I thought we couldn't stay still as a brother and sister.
"Aisha's plan?.... I can't wait to see it."
Mother said to me with twinkling eyes.
"It's not that great."
I got a little shy and twisted my hands.
"Of course it's great that our Aisha did it. Be confident."
My father put his hand on my head.
And I ended up laughing without realizing it.
"Then I will send you the plan as soon as this afternoon."
"Yeah, I'll look forward to it."
After that, I had a good time chatting about trivial things with my mother and father.
As I returned to the Imperial Palace, I could feel the raindrops falling little by little.
''Is it spring rain?'
I raised my hand and got hit by the raindrops that fell.
When I stopped, the maid urged to me.
"The wind is cold, Princess. Hurry back to the palace before you catch a cold."
"Uh, yeah."
Of all things, it rains today.
It was natural not to be able to climb the hill.
Then Isis won't be able to see me.
I became a little sullen.
'Shall I go to the Crown Prince's palace?'
I thought so, but I felt more urgent about the spring festival to send to my mother.
The festival is just around the corner.
If I wanted to show my plan properly, I had to make details quickly.
I wriggled my small hands and began to work hard to revise the plan.

Once Again Into The Light, Alone — Chapter 18
Thinking so, I glanced at the elve's playing next to me.
I carefully read the method of 'The Contract Of Summoning The Lower Elve's' written in the book once again.
1. Prepare the Elve Contractors.
2. If the user lacks mana, prepare a magic stone.
3. - - - If it's not enough, work with a higher Elemental Elve.
'If you're going to summon an elves, put your hand on it and memorize the following words.'
"......spirits who make up the earth, the sky, the wind, the fire and the water. Come to me and be my strength."
I closed my eyes.
I memorized the spell with an earnest heart.
When I opened my eyes again, I felt that something was definitely slipping out of my body.
And the intangible energy that escaped seemed to stay in the air, and soon gathered toward a point.
I felt a little strange, but I didn't think it was that hard.
Not long after, a spirit was summoned from that point.
I blinked.
The little elve, who seemed to be looking around for a moment, soon smiled at me.
— Oh, I'm summoned!
The little elve had platinum blonde hair, and golden eyes.
I cried out in surprise.
"Lu, aren't you Lu?"
— Yes, that's right!
That little elve was the elve of light that I had been with since I was very young. I was moved by the fact that the elve came out of the summoning circle.
— Are you going to sign a contract with me?
Lu flew in and twirled around me.
In the midst of joy and bewilderment, I replied,
'Yes.'
Then the little elve closed his eyes and kissed me on the forehead.
The feeling of the little elve touching my body was amazing.
It felt as if a light feather had fallen, and at the same time it was warm.
When the little elve who had closed her eyes opened her eyes, the elve who had been translucent had clearly changed.
"Lu, did you change your body?"
"Yes, master. If you sign a contract, the spirits will have the substance of staying in this world."
Is it because of the feeling? The elve summoned by my will seemed much calmer and smarter than the usual mischievous appearance.
'...... elve contracts, was it this easy?'
I was at a loss for words.
As if she had read my mind, Lu explained to me with a big smile.
"Making a contract with the elves is not so easy! However, my master's mana was far superior to others, so she is able to summon me at once."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Yes! You don't know how happy I am to be summoned by my master!"
I looked at the elve with my bare eyes.
The elve didn't just change it's body.
The voice that had always been ringing directly in my head was now clearly audible in my ears.
In addition, it was the first time that I had such a long conversation with an elve.
Is this what it's supposed to be like when you sign a contract?
I decided to ask in person.
"But if you were able to speak so well, why didn't you speak before?"
The elve answered me in a twirling mood in the air.
"Elve's we're not originally summoned, especially if the lower elves are in their natural state, they have very little to say as ego. However, after master summons me, our soul is connected and my body is created!"
[ T/n : i'm not sure abt this ]
"I see…… "
"Once again, I'm Lu, the lower elve of light. Call me Lu from now on, Master!"
Lu said hello in a cute way, slightly lifting the hem of her white dress.
It was as cute as a fairy that people would often imagine.
I nodded my head.
"Yes, Lu, I'm Aisha, Aisha de Elmir. You knew my name, didn't you?"
Lu sat wide in my hand, answered with a broad smile.
"Of course! I've been watching you since you were born. Besides, you are so famous! Previously, even the elve king…..."
"Huh?"
I blinked my eyes.
"I'm famous? What are you talking about, elve king?"
"Oh, well, that's….."
It's my first time hearing that there are famous among the elves. Besides, that's me?
Lu rolled her eyes.
Apparently, she looked embarrassed.
"You, You are famous because you are the only one in the world…. who can see the elves who have not signed a contract."
"What?!"
I was surprised and screamed without realizing it.
Now that the elves are almost rare, I have a vague idea that my talents are special, but…
'I'm the only one in the world who can see the elves….'
I could feel goose bumps coming up my back.
I might have had a much greater ability than I thought.
Although I have only summoned lower spirits now, won't I be able to summon higher spirits someday?
I became excited and asked Lu a lot of questions.
"What are the names of elves higher than you? And how do I summon it?"
Lu must have felt that the conversation was going to be long, so she flew over to the desk and sat down.
"First of all, the way to summon all the elves is the same. Any elve can be summoned as long as the summoner, the owner's mana and affinity are met. Unless the spirit refuses. But now, master is..."
"What about me?"
I turned my head in a hurry.
At the same time, I was finally able to infer the word that was written in the history of the elves.
What was needed was the summoner, mana and affinity.
Lu answered me step by step.
"Master lacks mana. It might be because you're still young, but you're not good enough compared to your affinity."
"Lack of mana? What kind of phenomenon is that?"
I asked a passionate question. Lu explained in more detail.
"If affinity is a vessel for magical power, then magic is the water that pools in it. The larger the water and the larger the bowl, the higher the elves can be summoned."
Water and a bowl. I nodded my head.
"By the way, you have the best affinity with the Elve of Light. That's why I came out of the lower ranks. When you first summon someone, the one with the best elve is summoned."
"Okay, I see."
I leaned long on the chair because I was confused by the new information.
Lu looked at me and continued to talk.
"The intermediate elve is Limie. The superior elve is Ludion. The best elve is Loni Ahn. And the Elve King has the name Luminas."
"..... wait, Luminas?"
However, I had no choice but to re-rise my body in the following explanation.
"...... Isn't Luminas the name of the God of Light?"
That's how I've been taught so far.
Luminas, the first most revered god here in Elmir, the god of light.
As the world's first god, he was the one who created day and night.
The Empire saw him as the beginning of time and worshipped him.
This spring's festival alone is not about praying for the God Light in hopes that the beginning of the year will go well.
But why does his name match that of the Elve King?
No way, that is by no means a coincidence.
"Oh, that's what you call it these days, isn't it?"
Lu continued nonchalantly.
At the meaning of those words, I was astonished.
"Well, then you mean it wasn't in the old days?"
Lu nodded at my words.
"Yes. Do you want me to tell you an old story?"
Soon she began to talk as if she were a minstrel.
"A long time ago, when the world was still in chaos. Luminas create day and night."
"....."
"Such a great man. He was once called the God of Light, once the ruler of the day, once the enemy of the night, and now the god of light."
Lu's voice contained the rhythm as if singing.
"Humans bow down to his power and admire him, but every time the times change, what they say has changed. But his body is a spirit. He is our noble and noble king."
I've never been more surprised.
"Well, what about Selena, the god of revenge and the moon? Are all gods actually spirits?"
"No, not all gods are spirits. It means that spirits and gods are only taking care of humans in different positions."
In saying so, Lu added that spirits are easier to intervene in human lives than gods.
"Of course, the gods gather believers to build a temple and construct the world according to their will."
It was richer information than any book I've ever read.
Luminas, who has believed so far that he's a god, was actually a spirit, not a god.
''I'll try to make a contract with the spirit.'
That's what I thought.
I'm 7 years old. If I had signed a contract with a lower-level elve, it would have been a perfect success.
"Luminas is famous for being the most handsome among the creations created by God. Oh, Luminas is the one who stands above all the gods. Luminas looks like a human being, but he is incomparably beautiful."
"The most beautiful?"
"Yes, he has bright white blonde hair and beautiful gold eyes that seem to linger."
I stuck my tongue out.
After observing the elves so far, the concept of humans and elve was similar.
In addition to the praises of Lu, he is famous for being the most beautiful among creations created by the god of gods.
I was a little curious about how good-looking he was.
'.... But platinum and gold eyes?'
Suddenly I felt a little strange.
A strange sense of visibility….. It was because I had seen such a person before.
But I lightly ignored the feeling.
'That can't be.'
No matter how much I could see th e elves, I had never met the Elve King.
'But…. I wonder what Lu means about the Elve King……'
I asked Lu about him.
However, Lu only shook her head as she said she had made a slip of the tongue.
No matter how hard I tried, I didn't think I'd give up.
Besides, I have one more question now.
I opened my mouth, trying to suppress my pounding heart.
"Lu, by any chance…."
How I wish this is possible.
".... Can I summon the Elve King, by any chance?"

I answered quickly, as if I were making excuses.
"Uh, that's…."
"........."
"It's an ancient book. I'm still interested in ancient languages. So I'm going to have to do it once to at least try it."
"..... Really?"
He stared at me.
His eyes were like he was thinking about something.
I gulped without realizing it.
It was not long before he finished thinking, he opened his mouth.
"Aisha."
"Yes?"
I flinched.
Recently, I've been hiding a lot from brother Isis, so I've been pretty pricked by my conscience.
If he ask me what I'm hiding, should I answer?
I anxiously waited for his next remark.
However, what he said was a completely different topic.
"I heard that scholar Almin came here."
My eyes widened.
He smiled softly.
"I heard the scholar called you a genius. I've known you since I was a kid, but you're my sister, too."
That's what he said and stroked my hair gently.
"Empress Iris seems to have a lot of ideas about your future, but you don't have to think too much about what you're going to do in the future."
"....."
"Do what you want, no matter what you do, we will support you.”
I stared at Isis.
"....... yes."
"I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
"What? Oh, yeah."
I was a little surprised at the plain greeting.
He really left first after saying goodbye.
It was different from my usual attitude to stay even a little longer.
I just looked behind him like I was possessed.
'Brother Isis…."
I borrowed a book and thought back to the palace.
I thought, 'What is he thinking?'
Normally, it would be suspicious to ask, but brother ignored the subject.
As if he knew what I was hiding.
'No, It can't be.'
I felt my heart pounding for a moment.
It was impossible for brother Isis to guess that I possessed the qualities of an elve, that I had reincarnated.
It's such an unrealistic story.
'I can't tell him.'
I became a little lonely.
If I said that I was the fourth princess of the Edenbell Empire.
Who would believe me?
Even if I were in a position to hear such a thing, I would snort because it was so unrealistic.
I shook my head and decided to focus on the book I borrowed from the library now.
I sat in front of my desk with a book, I sent the maids and the escort out because I wanted to rest.
Two kinds of books borrowed from the library.
One is the "History of the Elves" and the other one was a strange magic book with no title.
I decided to open the 'History of the Elves' first.
I thought there was a reason why the elves wanted the magic book so strongly, but what I needed the most now was knowledge about the elves.
Although I am a princess, I am not greedy since I was young.
I learned basic subjects such as social studies, arithmetic, and literature, I was able to set the time on my own.
That's why I deliberately spare all the time today.
Just to relax and read an ancient book.
'History of the Elves'
I took a small deep breath, reading the title in a nice ancient language.
Finally, the secret from when I was born may be solved.
About how much I can see the elves with my bare eyes and so on.
I quickly began to scatter the book.
The book was boring, but it was faithful to the theory in its own way.
The most interesting part was how the elve's relationship with the human has ended.
'The Elves are - - - - through - - - - to become……'
But apart from the interesting thing, I also couldn't read it properly because my ancient language skills were too low.
Perhaps there was a fight between the elves, and the people were involved in it, but I wasn't sure.
'Let's definitely study more ancient languages and read them later.'
I was a little disappointed when I turned the part over and scattered the book around.
This is because there was no information of a person who could see the elves from birth anywhere in the book.
'What am I, then?' [ T/n : a human ]
I could feel even more doubtful about my existence.
It's a short knowledge, but I've never heard of anyone similar to me.
There's no one to consult, so I don't know what to do with this ability.
The next moment I was sighing, my eyes glistened.
'Summon the Elve's King'
The subhead was written in neat letters.
'Summoning the King of Elve's!'
It's one of the things I've been hoping for and curious about the most.
Although the motives began with revenge, I wanted to know the elve that I had been with since I was young.
How can I summon an elve?
It was very difficult to read the ancient language, which is the letter that I couldn't understand, but I could feel the speed gradually increasing as I concentrated as much as possible.
I pointed my finger and read the important part inside.
'In order to summon an elve - - - is need first.'
What-?
I forgot to breathe and looked into it.
''If all of these are ready, the most important thing is…. '
What's the important thing?
I turned the next page with trembling hands.
'... It's the Elve Summoner contract. It is a magic that has been - - - since ancient times, and it has the power to connect elve's with this world.'
I see!
I was delighted to death.
'In order to summon an elve, Mana is - - - (this part will need to be looked for later), and elve summoning is necessary.'
So, what does the Elve Summoner look like?
I quickly turned to the next page.
And the next moment, I was devastated.
However, In the last page ;
[ We will discuss the elve's summoning contract separately. If you are a person who wants to summon an elve, you should buy a separate book about the Elve's ]
I dropped my head.
'.... Are you kidding me?'
If the title is "History of the Elves," shouldn't we at least have a sample of the summoner?
I didn't expect to be like this.
If I had been a human a few hundred years ago, I must have ripped the book after seeing this description.
'Really, that's ridiculous.'
I hit my chest with frustration.
I thought I could finally learn more about elves.
The Elve Summoning Contract book, it's impossible to summon without it!
It was then.
Everytime I was so angry, these elves will always hover around me and come to comfort me, especially when I was sad or struggling.
— What's wrong?
— Cheer up, Aisha
Little elves were staring at me and cheering me on.
I tried to calm down my anger.
'Yeah, maybe because I got too excited.'
I'm going to take a break.
Thinking so, I put down the "History of the Elves."
And it was time to call a maid for a cup of tea.
Strangely, I have a hunch.
"......."
I glanced away and thought of another book I had borrowed.
A book with no title and no author's name on it.
When I think of that book, where only magic circles remain, it's really strange, but this thought came to me.
'Isn't there a reason why the elves told me to read this book?'
It is a book that was begged by elves who had never been so desperate.
Besides, really, just in case.
I thought it would be understandable that if the Elve Summoner's was being informed by the elve, the author's name would not be included.
Like oral literature.
'Shall I read it?'
I still have more time anyway.
So it wouldn't be a waste of time if I look at it once.
I slowly reached out to the book as if possessed.
'Please.'
I was praying to God again unknowingly.
If it's not this book, I don't know where or how to find it.
It's really hard to improve my ancient language skills.
This is because there is very little information below.
So, it should be this book.
Please.
I, the first princess of the Elmir Empire, prayed in the name of Luminas, the first god of Elmir.
And I, who opened the book.
It was a miracle.
This is because, on the magic circle in the book, there was written 'Elve Summoning Contract' in small handwriting.
'.... Oh my god!'
I couldn't hide my happiness.
Now I understood that the elves asked me to read this book with all their might.
Basically the elves were lonely beings.
Afraid of being loved and forgotten by the people.
It must have been that he had hoped so much for me to summon him. [ The Elve King ]
I opened the book with a pounding heart.
This thin book smelt of old dust.
There were various types of contract staff, but there were some that could not be used because the ink was smeared and erased.
I was a little disappointed with that, but I could feel my heart beating again when I saw 'The Contract of Summoning the Lower Elves' written on the very first page.
I don't know how much power I have now.
But if it's a low-level summon, maybe I can do it too?
[ This series really really excites me! The thing I'm most interested in is REVENGE! I want to see how aisha will get revenge to those b*tches fufufu, and also you can read the prevs chs on wuxia. Once again this isn't 100% accurate! ]

Chapter 16
“Compared to children of the same age, you are more outstanding... I don't know if I praised you that much.”
"......."
I shut my mouth.
'I should have answered more foolishly.'
I regretted it inside.
I think let's not do anything too noticeable, but I sometimes crossed the line because I don't know what it was like when I was seven.
"..... A genius who only comes out once every few decades, it's burdensome."
At that, my mother smiled softly.
"Aisha."
Her call, which seemed to mean something, made me nervous.
"Yes, mother."
I had a feeling she was going to say something important.
It was a hunch I got from staying with her for a long time.
Then, her mouth opened.
"What do you want to do in the future?"
"..... what?"
I blinked my eyes.
"I'm asking you what you want to do in the future."
My mother laughed as if she were having fun.
"I've known you for a long time. Do you remember the noble lady who came to teach you when you were young was amazed?"
I blushed a little bit.
"But again, after listening to Scholar Almin, I became more and more worried about what I should do for you in the future."
"......"
"Aisha, anything is fine. If there's anything you want to do, I'll tell the Emperor and this mother will support you."
Her eyes were filled with sincerity.
"Since you were a child, you said that you wanted to study further by becoming a scholar. If you want to try something new, I will bring in scholars, and if you want to experience more, I will show you the wide world.”
"I….."
I hesitate.
At my reaction, my mother sighed.
"I think I spoke too hastily."
Mother looked a little embarrassed.
"Think about it."
I blinked. And my mother held my hand warmly.
"No matter what path you choose, I will support you. Besides, you're still a lot younger. There's endless possibilities."
The possibilities are endless.
"Or……"
Mother seemed to think for a moment.
"Why don't we do this?"
"What?"
"There's a spring festival this time."
Spring festival.
It is an event to thank the God of Light and pray for the arrival of spring that represents life.
From the first day of the festival, when the bells ring in the temple, people will try to keep themselves neat all week.
In addition, there are some of the most influential women in the imperial family, namely tea ceremonies hosted by the empress for generations.
"Wouldn't it help you decide what you want to do if you meet a lot of children around your age at the Spring Festival?"
Children with the same age.
I was quite surprised.
It was because I never showed up in public.
It was nothing other than my family that spent too much time with me.
My brother Isis has the right to interfere of preventing me from choosing an escort knight because he said that he would protect me in his own way, and my mother didn't show up well in front of others because I hid my face. The gist of the argument was that my father won't let me go outside because I was too precious to him.
My father said : "If you take Aisha outside the palace because of poor consideration, what should I if there is an accident?"
So I don't have a friend who can play together.
Of course, for me, playmates of the same age were too inconsistent with my mental age, so that would have been difficult in its own way.
But now that I'm seven years old, my mother seems to want me to make some friends.
Although I am not very interested in other children, I still accepted my mother’s advice.
'All right.'
I nodded slowly.
"Yes, I'll try that."
Mother smiled broadly.
After separating from my mother, I came into my room alone.
The desk in front of the window where I always think deeply.
What kind of person I will be in the future. It wasn't that I never thought about who I wanted to be.
But…..
There was one thing that caught me.
'Revenge'
My future was like a snapped crevasse.
I dream of revenge, I can't forget the Kingdom of Edenbell, and my previous life.
To put it simply, I have been living in the past.
I couldn't get out of my previous life, and I was like spinning round and round.
I couldn't forget my past.
Because It is also part of my life.
However, it was a problem that I couldn't turn a blind eye to those who help me everyday and want to make me happy.
It's too hard.
I sighed deeply.
I have to think about the spring festival.
But now is the time to focus on what I can do.
****
After two days, I visited the Imperial Palace Library.
It was the hour before the morning dew had even gone away.
I had a reason to be in such a hurry.
'Today is the day.'
I've removed all the beginner's ancient languages since yesterday.
Although it was difficult, I was able to infer the meaning from the appearance of the letter to some extent because I learned the basic vocabulary and learned the principles of formation.
If so, it is time to go into action.
I could feel my heart pounding.
Passing through the dewy palace garden, I saw a familiar librarian as I entered the library.
He was a librarian at the palace who worked here for a long time, and even if I was young, he would never take my standards and always recommend quality books.
I approached the librarian with his greetings.
He talked to me with a big smile.
"Your Highness, you came very early today. The library has a new batch of books, would you like me to read it for you?"
Originally, I would have had a conversation with him for quite a long time. Because the books he recommends were always interesting.
but today, I want to hurry up and read books about ancient languages ​​as soon as possible.
"Uh, I'm sorry, but I don't have time right now."
I said as I walked to the bookshelf in the corner.
He chased after me and said to me in a mysterious tone.
"Uh, Your highness. There are ancient books over there."
It was understandable that he wondered.
But I turned my head and answered.
"I know that."
His eyes widened at my words.
"What? I, uh…."
I could see he was very embarrassed.
Rather than answering his questions, I chose to walk proudly to the ancient language bookshelf.
His dismayed voice came from behind.
"Is it true that the young Empress has learned ancient language?"
That can't be true.
And I soon arrived at the bookshelf where the room was opened like a warehouse.
After asking the guard and maid to wait aside, I started to read the book.
The ancient bookshelves are full of books.
But compared to other bookshelf, the ancient language books were very small.
This is the Imperial Library, which contains all the important books of the Empire.
'It can't be helped.'
I've decided to settle for this. There might be a book I want to find for myself.
Inside the bookshelf, I smelled an old book. It also means that the condition of the book is very old.
As I studied each and every title of the books, I was soon a little disappointed.
'.... I can't read it.'
Is it because I'm still a beginner in ancient languages? The letters were half.
I raised my hand and touched each of the embossed letters on the back of the book.
'Illusion…. human'
'Make…. law'
'Public….. books'
No matter how hard I tried to squint and guess the meaning, I couldn't tell.
'..... Phew'
It was a little droopy.
Can I find information about spirits among books that I can't even read?
'...... Just in case.'
I gently searched through the books and after a long time, I finally found a book that seemed very useful.
The History about the Elves.
'Yes! This is it!'
I couldn't control my joyous day.
When I was overjoyed, the spirits near me flew excitedly, perhaps influenced by my feelings.
'Now, if I study this book, I may be able to learn a little bit about the Spirit of Elves.'
Holding the book in my arms, I quickly borrowed it and tried to go back to my room.
What elves called me.
— Aisha, Aisha
Some spirits twirled around and pointed to a book.
— That book
— Go and take a look
On the side they pointed to was a very old book.
'You want me to take a look?'
I blinked my eyes.
Not only is it old, it's also a very thin book.
Most of the books on this ancient language shelf were leather-covered for long preservation, which seemed to have just scribbled on plain paper.
I looked at the faces of the spirits.
These elves could communicate with me, but they can’t express it clearly or describe it in detail.
Maybe it's because I'm not good enough, or maybe because these elves are still young.
Therefore, when they want to say something to me, they often use body language to express their thoughts.
And even now, they were telling me desperately.
— Please read this book
— You have to read it!
'I have to read it?'
I stared at them.
When I slowly approached and opened the book, it was also a strange book.
There was no title on the back of the book or on the cover.
There is only one strange magic pearl on the cover.
'Is it a book about magic?'
Thinking so, I wondered what to do with the book.
'..... Well.'
If the spirits are calling me this desperately, there must be a reason.
I decided to borrow the book together.
'I got it.'
When I nodded, they held their hands and danced happily.
Seeing that, I thought I did a good job, so I ended up with a smile around my mouth.
'Then I will take this book back and have a look.'
I prepare to leave the library with the guard and the maids.
Suddenly a voice called me from behind.
"Aisha!!!"
This voice, It's definitely "him".
I turned around in surprise.
As I thought, it's brother Isis.
Perhaps to solve the homework given by scholars, his hands were full of books.
He smiled at me.
"What are you doing here?"
Then he seemed to have seen me holding a book in my hand.
I was like "Oops."
The old, magical book seemed a little suspicious to me.
I unknowingly hid the book behind me.
"...... Aisha?"
He called me wonderingly.
