The Countess of Chester ( editing )

Chapter 4

( Ps: other people, herself )

- Hello, i brought you some pie.
- Thank you.

I take the pie. What? You thought i wouldn't out of spite ? Not at all! I'm hungry so...

I'm going to eat it. I know it's not poisoned. Nina begins to poison Katrina a few months after they arrived in Chester, so I have nothing to fear at the moment.

- Oh my!Poor Katrina! You are all pale! You should rest until noon! Who does this Madam think she is to make the Marquis's honorable daughter work?
What is certain is that a lady is not supposed to have rough hands.

I play the part. I wouldn't like any suspicions to arise. Hoping its the kind of reaction Katrina has, i sigh heavily and hide my face under my hair.

- I'll definitively take revenge.
- You'll see, in a couple of years you'll likely get married and get out of here!
- I look forward.
- Poor lady Praus. Sarah will soon start her piano lessons. I'll come back and we'll talk a little better tomorrow.

- When I think you have to put up with it every day, I tremble with disgust.

- Me too Lady Praus!

And she goes out. She will probably go and cry in Sarah's arms about my wickedness towards her. Poor Nina just wanted to get a book from the library. But the great witch Katrina prevented her from doing so.

- How deceitful!

Divide to reign. The simplest strategy is all it took to end the Great Praus Family.

I start my pie with greed. I'm hungry but I prefer to leave a little for later.

Where was I? Ah! Yes, history of the kingdom kind of book, and some on the basics of magic.

~ Time skip ~

Oof! I've been there for a few hours, I was able to create a small reading corner near the window, behind all these books. It will be quite difficult for an adult to find this place. I will be able to study in peace even in the middle of the night.
I found 3 history books. The family tree of the family, an elementary magic book and the financial information of the territory.

In the family tree it is specified that Patriarch Praus died in 640. Knowing that we're in 646, she was indeed 13 years old this year. Count Chester's conquest of the kingdom of Ekryss took place in 650, yup, i have 4 years.

(Ps: we're going to skip every 6 months I'm not used to describing everyday life yet. Sorry)

~6 months later~

So it's been 6 months since I transmigrated. Everyday life is an ordeal! Between Heloise's violence, the audacity of the nanny, the childish Sarah and Nina's manipulations. I want to hit my head against a wall!

How did Katrina survive all this? For 29 years of my life, I have never been in such a hurry to get married!

Oh great Count Chester, come and get your beloved! She is hungry and thirsty! I swear the first thing I do in Chester is eat 3 days in a row!

Let's see the good side of things apart from sexual abuse, there's nothing I haven't experienced here, it's going to be difficult to scare me. At least I hope!

No one found my hiding place. I can read quietly at night. I made progress in magic and found grandfather's notes when he was young and learning. I will never neglect the old again! It's a gold mine. There are plenty of notes on the education of an heir and his everyday life. I felt a little bad at first because it's still a person's private life, but I think he would understand. Your grand daugter must survive grandpa forgive me!

I learned the most common magical element: water. This is the easiest element to learn. It took me two months to feel the magic in the air. At first I thought it was just the humidity of the attic, but after reading several books on magic I learned that it was my sensitivity to magic. The more you feel the magic, the more you are predisposed to be a mage. The Katrina in the book thought she was sick, she began to take medication under Nina's influence. Education is really the savior of all. I was tired of smelling and being thirsty, 70% of the time.

I created my first mana circle 2 weeks ago. The feeling of the mana circulating in the body is very strange but I got used to it quickly.

Basically, mages use magic in the air to create their mana circle and practice. While warriors use the aura in their bodies to make their techniques and bodies more powerful.

There are three main categories of mage, and three subcategories in each of them.

There is Mage of 3rd rank, mage of second rank, and mage of first rank. In each category you can be a novice, a proficient or an
expert. The experts of the first rank are called Masters. And the proficient one are affilited to a new magic tower they'll own. They are Towermasters. A total of 5 exists right now.

Archmages are not included in the categories of mage because they are very rare. There have been only three in the entire history of the empire: Magic Swordmatser Praus, one of the founders of the empire, Duke Delan, one of the great Dukes of the empire, and the Great-grandmother of grandfather Julian Praus. Who was the purple tower owner.

The nobleman who will try to take me high with his so-called high blood will only have to hold on well. My ancester's head is the first thing you see at the magic academy of the empire before you even see the emperor's! And where is your great great-grandmother? Underground, unknown to the battalion lol.

The warriors are divided into 12 ranks. We are considered a Great Warrior from the 5th rank, Grandmaster from the 7th rank and Superhuman from the 10th rank. The only known Superhuman is the founder of the empire Erik Arthesia. The greatest dream of sword maniacs is to become a swordman like him.

There are also spirit summoners, alchemist, magic healer, sorcerers, and divine force, used by the warriors of the temple.

The elements used in Arthesia are water, air, ice, fire, earth and lightning. From the simplest to the most difficult to handle. There are some rare cases such as manipulation of shadows, sound and blood above the novice level.

Hope you enjoyed~
