The carriage stopped in front of a large mansion as the footman opened the carriage door and held his hand out for his miss to take, on which she did. Getting out of the carriage (Y/N) squinted her eyes due to the brightness of the outdoors, once adjusting her eyesight (Y/N) looked at the butler that bowed down to her.
"Lady (Y/N), if you would please follow me." The old butler said to the young girl as (Y/N) nodded her head. The butler turned around and walked forward as (Y/N) followed him towards the entrance of the house.
(ᴘɪᴄᴛᴜʀᴇ ᴅᴏᴇꜱ ɴᴏᴛ ʙᴇʟᴏɴɢ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇ!)
As they arrived at the front door of the household two guards opened the big double doors and bowed their heads in respect as (Y/N) just glanced at them and began to walk in following the butler. Maids were lined up inside the household as they bowed their heads with their eyes closed.
"Welcome, Lady (Y/N)." All of them said in sync, not once has anyone even moved a muscle. (Y/N) sweatdropped as she nodded. Following the butler to the left (Y/N) looked around the hallway as she saw portraits of different people, all of them looking at her as if they were judging her. Quickly looking away from them (Y/N) instead looked up and saw babies with only a cloth to cover them with wings that were all painted throughout the ceiling.
Hearing the soft footsteps of the butler stop (Y/N) looked down and saw as the butler went to her right and bowed. "This is where we part ways, Lady (Y/N)." The butler said as he turned away and left. (Y/N) looked away from him and looked at the two guards who bowed at her presence as one entered the room and got out shortly after.
The two guards opened the double doors as (Y/N) entered and surveyed the room, that is until her eyes settled on the familiar presence of that annoying high priest. (Y/N) looked at him as he just scribbled down some things and then looked at her. His eyes widened slightly before going back to their normal cold stare.
"Good evening, Lady (Y/N)." The high priest greeted (Y/N), his stare making her highly uncomfortable. (Y/N) just put on her poker face and also stared at him. "Good evening, Priest Anthelm." (Y/N) greeted back, doing an elegant curtsey that she learned from her friend back in her old life due to a school play.
Anthelm stared at her in surprise, and then let a smirk play on his crust ass lips. "My my, at such a young age you already have such greetings put down, your parents have done well." Anthelm complimented her, though his eyes never changed. (Y/N) nodded as she said a small 'thank you' in response. Anthelm cleared his throat as he gestured for her to sit down, on which (Y/N) happily complied.
"Now, you may be wondering why I sent you that invitation, no?" Anthelm asked her, on which (Y/N) nodded. Giving her a forced smile Anthelm continued, "The reason being because of my son, you might know him, Lamis is his name if I remember correctly." Anthelm said as he put on a thinking face when trying to remember his son.
Snapping out of his thinking trance Anthelm stared down at her. "He should be here any minute now, so please, follow the butler towards the guest room." Anthelm asked, well, more like demanded as he went back to his paperwork. (Y/N) gave him a slight glare as she got up and followed the butler that was standing near the door as he gave (Y/N) a small smile, on which she returned.
Following the young butler (Y/N) looked to her left towards where the windows were at as nothing but flowers could be seen covering it, barely letting any glimpse of light shine through.
"Lady (Y/N), we've arrived." The young butler announced making (Y/N) look towards him. "Ah, yes, thank you... Sir?" (Y/N) said questionably, making a confused face in the process. The young butler let out a small laugh as he gave her a closed eye smile.
"You can call me, Amantius Rahim my lady." Amantius said, opening the door as he stepped aside, letting her pass. (Y/N) looked back at him as she smiled, "Then you can call me (Y/N)." (Y/N) also asked of him, on which his eyes opened in surprise, though for it to only go back to its happy state as his aura literally shined.
(Y/N) squinted her eyes as she looked at Amantius. 'S-So bright!' (Y/N) thought, finally being able to look away (Y/N) walked forward. Finally, inside the room, she heard a small click of the door as it closed as she was now, all alone in the room. Well, except for two guards and five maids.
Looking around (Y/N) found the sitting area as she went over there and sat down on a red velvet couch, and she had to say, it was rather stiff.
'Do they not ever have any guest around?' (Y/N) thought to herself as she placed her hands together on her lap, waiting for the young boy to arrive.
Hearing the door being opened (Y/N) looked back only to see the capture target, Lamis GrimWald.
The young boy looked at her as he gave her a soft smile. "Hello, Lady (Y/N), I am Lamis GrimWald." Lamis introduced himself, going towards her as he grabbed her right hand and placed a chaste kiss on top of her gloved hand.
(Y/N) gave him a gentle smile as she pulled her hand away once he was done. "Already know my name, Sir Lamis?" (Y/N) teased him slightly, finding his child-like atmosphere a breath of fresh air. Lamis looked up at her as he chuckled, "How could I not know you? Everyone learned to know your name ever since you took the magic test." Lamis said, his usual childish voice showing.
(Y/N) giggled making Lamis's cheeks heat up, though he quickly calmed down. "I suppose so." (Y/N) responded. Lamis chuckled as he sat in front of (Y/N) as the maids went out of the room to get some pastries and tea.
"So, molecule manipulation magic? Truly a fascinating magic type, say, if I do remember correctly me and you are supposed to train together, correct?" Lamis asked her, looking at (Y/N) in puzzlement. (Y/N) nodded as she drank the tea that the maids poured, how quickly they got here? No idea.
"Indeed, though I do wonder, what is your magic type?" (Y/N) asked him, putting down the teacup on the saucer. Lamis flinched as he was about to drink his tea. "Oh, about that, I still have yet to check out exactly what my power is, I'll be doing that next week, but for now I do believe I have light magic, as do all my family members." Lamis answered, letting out a nervous chuckle in the end.
(Y/N) nodded as she took another sip before putting it down. "I remember now, all the priests have light magic, right? Well, you'll surely have light magic too, then." (Y/N) said, though she knew better. In the otome game, it was revealed that instead of having light magic he instead has metal manipulation magic making his father neglect his son.
(Y/N) glared down at her cup as she remembers the chapter dedicated to that. 'Took so long to finish too... yet it father was such a cunt. Can't believe that such an angel is related to such a blood sucking demon.' (Y/N) thought to herself, completely ignoring the glances that Lamis was giving to her.
"Hey, what about we play a game?" (Y/N) offered to Lamis, on which Lamis immediately brightened up and nodded happily, "Yeah!" Lamis exclaimed as he got up from his seat and went towards (Y/N) as he grabbed onto her hand and ran towards the garden.
'Wait, wait, wait! I'm gonna trip on my dress if he doesn't slow down! Oh well, too late now.' (Y/N) thought to herself as they began to run down the halls, their footsteps being the only sound resonating through the hall.
Lamis chuckled as the excitement of playing with someone for the first time excited him. 'I cant wait to play with her more after this! Oh, I and her are going to be such good friends!' Lamis thought as his eyes shined in hope of actually having a potential friend.
