Alyn was looking at me blankly as if he didn't hear what I said. "I will decide everything about this topic and I won't annul our engagement."

"But I want to be a nun!"

"That will not happen. I cannot fulfill that wish of yours."

I pouted rebelliously. "Hmpf. Then forget it. Even if you won't break off our engagement, I will not accept you as my fiancé."

"We'll see about that."

I sighed heavily. I can't argue with him on this since I know that he'll keep on insisting.

I decided to change the topic. "Anyway, the books that you give me, they're from the palace library, right?"

"Yes." As if knowing what's on my mind, he continued before I can open my mouth. "I can give you a pass to enter the library if you want to."

That generosity of him is something I couldn't hate about him. I happily grinned upon hearing what he said. "That would be amazing!"

I heard from my father that the palace library has the size of a Viscount's mansion. That statement alone is enough to excite me.

Just so you know, when it comes to nobility, there's a ranking in titles too. King, Queen, Prince, Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and the lowest is the Baron.

In this game, the size of their mansion depends on the title they hold. Actually it's not a mansion but it's the size of the land they own.

For me, the mansion I'm staying in right now is like the size of a big mall. Maybe because I haven't reached the actual height for an adult girl yet? Honestly, I haven't memorized all the paths and corners in the mansion yet. There are too many rooms that I have yet to see. The only routes I know are when it comes on going to library, my father's office, his room, Luke's room, the living room and the most important room in the house, the kitchen.

The servants' quarter is not included in the mansion. There is a separate building for them and since we also have many maids, the building is something like a dorm. There are 3 servant buildings in the land, one for male servants, another for female servants and the third are for the guards.

We own about the land area from the mansion gate up to the mountain behind us. Yes, it's pretty big and the gates are also big. Do you know the anime Alice Academy? Something like that.

"If you become my wife, you can live in the palace and visit the library anytime you want."

ARE YOU TEMPTING ME?!! Are you seriously tempting me? Because it is somehow working.

I love reading books, you can't blame me.

"I'll pass. I'm too young to be your wife."

He looked at me and smiled. "I don't think that's true."

Ah yes, I rememebered. People in this game can get married once you reach the age of 12 but since a new decree was made, less nobles marry at this age. They have to graduate from the Rosse Magical Academy first before they can be able to be married and have a family of their own. But that still depends since on those with the title of Duke and higher. Their household can marry without graduating from the Academy.

I wasn't able to answer any longer. I was too tempted with that free access to such glorious place. So just like that, Alyn gave me a specific ring. He said that it will serve as a pass in the library whereas I can visit any sections except the restricted section of it. Of course because it is restricted.

----

This will be my first time visiting a place that belongs to someone else. I would always excuse myself from attending parties and such afterall. Because of this, other nobles view me as someone sickly. That's okay, I don't like dealing with those nasty people anyway. I don't want to deal with someone similar to Alyn's relative.

Anyway, Alyn sent a knight to accompany me inside the palace, which I am grateful of since I can see that she looks like a rank B, A or A- knight, powerful enough to protect me.

Rank F to C- knight wear bronze armor. The knights with C to B- rank wear silver armor and the knight with B to A- wear gold armor. According to the books, rank A to SS knights wear a special armor. Those kind of knights are the kingdom's special forces; mostly the knight division captains. Bronze armored knights and Silver armored knights are usually for the nobles while Gold armored knights are for the royalties.

Anyway, the knight in front of me was wearing a golden armor, I can guess that she's between B to A-. Yes, you heard me right, she is a girl.

She has short fluffy forest green hair, fairly white skin, pink cheeks, and slightly droopy eyes that make others want to protect her. She looks adorable and fragile, just like a flower. But I guess I can't be fooled by her looks, right? She's a high ranked knight after all.

"It is an honor to be with and be able to protect the daughter of Duke Trancy. My name is Evelyn Wood, I will be accompanying you all throughout the day. The prince would like to apologize since he couldn't accompany you, Lady Trancy."

Its better for me if Alyn wouldn't come though. I bet he'll just keep on bothering me as I read the books.

"No need to be polite, Lady Evelyn, you can address me casually by name." I smiled.

"I wouldn't dare to do so, Lady Trancy." She said quite politely.

"I'm giving you my permission," I can't ask her to be my friend yet since I don't know what kind of person she is yet. I didn't remember seeing her in the game when I played it.

"... Okay. I'll address you by your name if we're alone."

I smiled at her before I entered the carriage. Evelyn entered after me. As we headed to the palace, I decided to know more about the knight in front of me.

"I heard from my father that female knights are pretty rare. Is that true?"

"Yes, it is. But the female knights are starting to increase in number ever since the White Rose Order was formed."

"That's cool." I smiled. "How many female knights are there so far?"

"Including our captain, we are twelve." She smiled back at me.

Well that's less than I expected.

She's so pretty~ She looks like she's around Luke's age! Too young for a knight with such rank. Maybe she's a genius.

"May I ask how old are you?"

"I am 27 years old."

27?! She looks so young! I'm so envious~ I look older despite my age in my previous world after all.

Since I was always busy as a doctor, I never cared how other people thought of me in my previous world. So with my unkempt hair tied in a bundle, and unhealthy white skin, it is presumptuous to compare her with a glasses woman who has had dark circles hanging under her eyes for many years. I mean, how dare of me?

My jaw dropped in shock and she looked at me, surprised.

"You look so young! Are you really 27?!"

I noticed faint blush appeared on her cheeks as she turned away. "I am.."

"It's really surprising. You're so pretty and you look really young like a woman in her early teens"

"I am grateful for the compliments you give, Lady Violet."

Aww~ She's adorable! She looks really nice.

"I've decided! Lady Evelyn, lets be friends!" I grinned at her.

She looked surprised upon hearing what I just said. Oh, was I too fast?

"B-But y… you're a... high noble-

"That's not an excuse! We can still be friends even if you're a knight and I'm a noble you know. Ranks doesn't matter for me."

I clasped my hands together and I started using my charms hoping it would work. "Please?"

She looked hesitant that's why I held her hands together. "I never had a friend. You see, I am sickly and I rarely leave my mansion. If you become my friend, you will be my first female friend."

"…"

"Dylan is the only friend I have but since he's busy being the Prime Minister 's son, he couldn't visit me."

Come to think of it, I never received any letters from him ever since I left eight years ago. Hmm, I should send him a letter tomorrow.

Even if Luke is my best friend, he's my brother so that's not counted.

Alyn? Nah. He's not my friend.

"The maids are too distant in my place even if I try to befriend them. They are all so nice to me but still.. I want them to be my friends where they don't need to be so polite with me. I'm sad and alone so Lady Evelyn, please be my friend?"

She sighed heavily before she nodded her head. "Okay..."

I grinned in delight upon hearing her answer.

----

Upon reaching the palace, it even bigger than I thought it would. Like soooo big. How big? Twice the size of the Duke Trancy's mansion. Could the size of Mall of Asia be enough to describe it?

The two of us entered and I followed Evelyn's lead as we walk towards the library. There were many twists and turns of the inner halls but it had no bearing on my guide at all. She marched with ease until we finally arrived in front of the library.

When Evelyn opened the door, I saw a room filled with books! I noticed some people around, they're probably scholars, who were busy reading scrolls and books from the shelves.

Now then, I should start looking for a book that contains details about healing magic. I wanted to ask my father but he's always away. Magicians with healing abilities are rare, even I wasn't able to find anything in my place's library. This world uses potions and herbs for medication. It is a good thing that the herbs in this game world has the same name as the herbs in my world.

Lets see... Where should I start?

Okay there are so many sections and rows here. Should I start with the history section or magic section? I only wanted to know about healing magic right now.

"Lady Violet, you seem troubled. Can't find the book you were looking for?" Evelyn whispered. I looked at her and smiled awkwardly.

Come to think of it, I have a knight with me! If it comes to magic, they should know more right?

"Lady Evelyn.. Do you know anything about magicians with healing abilities?"

She looked surprised with my question. "Why... do you ask?"

"I'm just curious. My father mentioned it once in his stories and they seem interesting." I lied.

"Magicians with healing magic are indeed rare since healing requires three elements; light, water and earth element. This is an advance ability that's why the only users with these three magical elements would be able to perform healing magic and would be considered SS rank magicians."

Un... Then how did I gain my healing ability?

Wait, could it be because of me? Violet only has fire element but since I'm in her body, she gained healing abilities too? I'm a different person so I probably have my own elements too, making me capable of performing healing magic.

So… does that mean I can use light, water and earth magic as healer? A doctor per se?

And here I thought I was not an overpowered female in this game world. But I guess that's a common knowledge when someone transmigrate in a different world. Most of the fantasy novels I read always have OP leads after all, female or male, as long as they traveled to another world. Ah, some of them have systems, right? They're so lucky. A system can be really handy when it comes on giving information.

But I'm not a genius since my abilities are slow to be practiced. Maybe because I'm an average doctor in my previous life? Hmm... I guess I have long work to do. I will focus on these magical elements then. Being a healer is a huge advantage both academically and practically after all.

If I escaped all the death flags in the Rosse Magical Academy. I will become an adventurer once I graduate.

I will run away and be independent!
