How To Beat the System

ｐｏｉｎｔｓ

When Wisteria had awoke from the system, she didn't feel so sluggish that much. Instead of a searing headache and pained body, the female felt a bit more relaxed and was grateful for the god to take care of her vulnerable state.

Then she noticed about six maids in the room with her, bowing deeply and mumbling greetings to the human before setting out a large tray with food for her. Wis smiled weakly and thanked them before offering some. They only shook their heads and patiently waited until the female was done. And though she was eating the former student could feel their states burning into her. They weren't hateful or anything of the sort, but more of a curious and questioning gaze and saw some of their eyes glancing more at her hair.

Everyone she had seen so far always had brown or dark colored hair. Wisteria was a bit disappointed that there wasn't anyone else that looked like her besides Septimus, but she could always use her looks as an advantage if necessary.

After eating the girls helped Wisteria up from the bed and helped bathed her, changing her into warmer clothes fit for the castle's temperature. One of them combed her hair gently as if she were afraid that pulling too hard might result the human punishing the maid.

Wis didn't mind and only grinned at her. While they fixed her hair up into a simple and elegant bun with a few loose strands, she asked them if everyone else down there were humans. But they were not. Only those ladies that she met during her first visit were, but the staff and everyone else were just souls that the chaotic being had wanted.

"So where are those ladies now?" Wisteria asked.

One replied with a cautious tone. "Dead." She flinched after hearing it. Even though Wis wanted to do whatever it takes to make sure she had the gods as her backings, there was of course going to be bloodshed because of her. She didn't want it to happen, but the blonde decided that her life was far more precious than theirs.

To everyone's eyes, Wisteria was just a humble girl with the most lovely face. But of course deep down even she knew that she was a proud person, mocking silently down upon others.

With the girls finished in fixing up her hair, Wisteria glanced at the mirror and sighed when she still saw the dark circles that were under her pale eyes. But the human was in a better condition, so Wis was grateful.

One of them told her that the god was impatiently waiting for her arrival at the dining hall. Though he wanted to fetch his human himself, the male was too busy preparing the best foods that the kitchen staff could make and was prepping up a present for Wis.

Seated in a large chair made of dark oak, Septimus was in a lazy position with his legs parted and had leaned back into a slouch while his shoulders sagged mostly because of the heavy and flamboyant fur that he wore. With an arm up on the table, he placed the side of his face on the palm of his hands and held a fork that childishly picked at the food in front of him. Septimus blew a strand of his hair away from his eyes, glaring a little at the plate.

When the doors swung open, Wisteria timidly walked in with an escort that helped her walk since she, unfortunately, was still lightheaded.

Lifting his head up in anticipation, the god stood up from the chair and hurriedly made his way towards her, waving the guard off and hen giving the girl a hug. Slight taken off guard with his approach, Wis just patted his back in return as he inhaled the sweet scent coming from her hair. "Are you okay? Did the servants take care of you?" He asked as he pulled away, looking over her. Wis tiredly smiled and nodded.

"Thank you for taking care of me." With a curt response, she actually managed not the cough since the raspiness in her voice tickled her throat. "I... really need to get back, though. My Wisp is still above the surface."
