Reincarnated to set her free

Chapter 6

First thing first is to try and get closer to Elois. To make him ''forgive me''. That way, I will get him to trust me. With a little more liberty, it will be easy for me to make money with my modern knowledge. And with money, escaping to another country is... I also need to know more about this world. There is a gigantic library in this mansion, so I need to get access to that.

But before all of that I need to regain full fonction of my body. I stand up and start stretching. I hope stretching is normal in this world, I don't want them to get suspicious of me. While exercicing, I try to detect or at least to understand how the hell is he monitoring me. Magic? If so how does it work? Is it in some object, or are people the one using them. I remember Iris using some kind of phone one day, so it might be in objects, Is it only for a selected few, for nobles? Can I use magic? It is really annoying. I have to learn about this world, when she could have simply given me her entire memory. But I guess, that would have taken too much time.

I wonder if I'm still locked up in this room. I walk toward the door, try to open it. Yup, it is locked. Magic too, cause I don't see any lock. And the door resistance it too strong, it doesn't move. Not that I have any strenght...I need to train this body. The door open sudenly, and a maid enter. It isn't the same one, this one seems more sympathic.

-My lady, how are you doing? Thank God, you seem fine, when I found you inanmated in front of that mirror...You should go back to bed. She says that quickly, nervous.

I do as she says

-What is your name?

-I'm Elise. You don't remember me, miss?

-Elise...Okay, I'm sorry, my memory is kind of fuzy after the...incident

-Oh, I'm sorry miss, I hope your memories get back soon

I seize my opportunity

-About that Elise, would you mind helping me?

-Helpind you? she says. When she realises that I want her to help me remember, her face turn livid, I...I thought miss Amara...

-She did, don't worry, I just want you to talk to me about this world in general, and if you can't, would you mind bringing me some books about our country's history.

She hesistate.

-I will tell you a little, and I will bring you books later.

Perfect, she is probably going to show them to Elois before, but why would he be censoring histories book anyways?

-Would you mind doing that while cutting my hair, I say.

Short hair is way easier to manage, and Iris hair is down to her hips.

Elise seems shocked.

-But..but miss, you have always liked you hair tht way, and, and do you even know what it means? Short hair is for the poor, for people who don't have any money. Even the middle class has long hair, I simply can't. And I...I don't even have that magic certification.

Magic certification? What is she talking about. I made a mistake. I showed her how much my memory is affected. 

-Oh, ha ha ha, my memory is quite fuzy I told you, I why don't we sit over here, and talk. I point to the little living room.

-But miss I'm but your maid. I need to at least be a noble to sit with you. I have to get going.

And she exit, running toward the door.

Ha ha ha ha, how the hell am I going set Iris free, if I can't even talk correctly to a maid.

Let's see, what if I just try to escape? She left in such a hurry, perhaps she forgot to close the door. I walk toward it, try to open it, and BINGO, it is open. There is no resistance, at least.

First, I need to get changed. Hmmm, I open her closet, there is only dresses with corsets, too difficult to put on. I search a little more profoundly, and yes. here it is, a set of pants and a shirt, There is even boots. It looks like a training suit. I put it on without great difficulties, open the door, and shit, guards. Seriously, did I not consider this probability? Where did my brain go? The guars look at me. They are enormous, and have some kind of guns on them. Not normal guns though they seem...

-Miss? one of them say

I run. what choice do i have anyways? That is my only chance. Not to escape, but to at least understant where I am. There is a big hallway in front of me. Why does everything have to be so big in here?

I don't have the time to make three steps that the guard catch me. I try to get him to let me go, but nothing. The second, look at me weirdly, he take his gun, aim it at my stomach, I'm pretty sure it is not deadly, but I'm worried about the pain. He shoot, but I don't feel anything. Instead of loosing conciousness, I simply loose control over my body. I can't move an inch. 

-Don't worry miss, you will regain control in about 15 minutes. I know it feels weird, but you didn't let us much choice, says the one holding me, while driving me back to my bed.

-Ha, that maid probably let the door open, I will make sure to report, says the second one.

-Wait, I hear myself say. Oh, I still have control over my mouth, and I notice that I feel the cold breeze over my body. This gun's effect is perfect for torture. 

-Yes, miss?

-She didn't do anything wrong , no need to punish her.

-That is not up to you miss, he says, and I was about to report you, not her.

Oh. I don't have any power, do I?

They exit.

I start talking to myself, or rather to Iris. 

-Seriously? How the hell do you want me to do anything. You didn't even transfer to me all of your memories. I can't get out of this room, this body is so freacking weak. What the hell do you want me to do?

-What? Did you think it was going to be easy.

Surprised that she answered, I continue:

-No, but at least give me some basic information. I can't do anything like this.

-It is not that I don't want to, but if I do, you won't be able to talk to me until the end of your mission. 

-I didn't even know i could talk to you, just give me the damn info.

-Okay...
