Secrets I have held in my heart 🖤

「barely noticeable!」²

Waking up, I finally felt well-rested.

'For some reason, yesterday, when I got transmitted, reincarnated or whatever the term is, into this world, I felt tired, mentally, and physically..maybe that was because this young body couldn't do much, and cleaning a whole garden was a lot of work...?' I wondered as I stretched "right I have to eat.." I looked around lazily "and also need to Rank up...a lot.." I sighed defeated

Making my way to my closet I tried out a simple dress, 'where the hell is the maid?' I rolled my eyes and walked out "Ecklis, which way do I have to go to the dining room?" I asked as I started walking when I saw the cute arrow,

"Why are you awake at 8.30 am?" Ecklis asked with a yawn "and why aren't you?" I questioned jokingly "nah it's just that, back in my world, I worked as a doctor and had to come early to work." I answered his question before he could answer mine "ah, that makes sense.." he said, "what kind of doctor?" He questioned

"I was an Anesthesiologist" I answered finally arriving at the dining room, I took a deep breath before entering "no..one?" I wondered

"Nobody uses the dining room due to nobody wanting to see anyone," Ecklis answered

"What a shit family honestly.." I rolled my eyes before sitting down, already hearing a whisper not too far from me, I narrowed my eyes annoyed before giving the person a side-eye "what seems to be the issue?" I questioned

"M-my lady, nobody has used this dining room in years, you should go back to your room, we will bring the food.." a butler said 'Ecklis what's his name?' I thought questioningly,

"Karl Harlock, he was taken in when his family fell, very shy personality," Ecklis said

"Karl, I'd like to eat here, since nobody uses this place anyway, it's livelier here than in my room.." I said manipulating my voice to sound sadder at the end, I avoided eye contact as the male's look saddened "I apologize, my lady, food will be served in a minute." He said bowing before leaving

"What was that all about?" Ecklis asked
"Since he has a shy personality, I guessed he is also more on the soft side, so I guessed, acting a little sad, would make him feel sad and allow me to come here" I whispered as some water was set on the table for me, I smiled at the maid before taking a sip

'What's her name.?' I questioned "Rosa. Has been working here for about 5 years." Ecklis answered once again with a yawn

Once the food arrived, Theodosia ate quietly

----------------

after finishing I went back to my room, 'what a weird atmosphere..' i thought, after arriving in my room I immediately opened my book "I should be seeing the future with this.." I said with a smile, but upon opening, my eyes widen "it's empty..? OF COURSE it's EMPTY," I shut my book aggressively and sighed annoyed

"This probably has something to do with the ranking once again.." looking at the cover of the book, I averted my gaze to something else "I believe my exp bar is halfway towards 3, which means I'll soon be able to use the small Accessory chest" I made my way towards it "Ecklis is there a quest available?" I asked as I looked at the small golden detailed chest

"Way too many, you need to activate it, I can't give you one you know.." he chuckled "of course, you can't, can you guide me towards one?" I asked making my way towards the door before abruptly stopping "you're near one" Ecklis said

"Hm," I answered before making my way towards a corner of my room, a switch?' I moved my hand towards the switch and flipped it, I then heard a click from the wall next to me,
