Having settled back onto the conversation pit’s sofa, Delphina crossed her legs and stared at the system’s screen in front of her. A quick scan around made her realise the water and fruit from earlier had been refreshed. “Oh well, now that’s how they do it.” Grabbing an apple and coquettishly taking a bite out of it, she definitely didn’t look like an asshole. “Right, please elaborate on the answer to my first question, No.69. I don’t appreciate it using up one of my questions, but it…-

“Now, as a former de Luna, our family always had minor friction with the de Velasques. Especially once we realised they had received the lion’s share of the recognition for solving the issues that occurred 800 years ago.” Delphina nodded her head at this. “For one reason or another, your Father and I ended up crossing paths at a few masked balls in the Capital. Back then, you had to go with a chaperone; now things are even more risqué. You can go to open-air masquerades?” Delphina just nodded…

Following Medinador out, Delphina took one last look at her ‘Mother’ and ‘Brother’, giving them a small smile as she turned towards the newly exposed corridor in front. The Renaissance-style stone flagstones had once again returned. As she stepped through the doorway, one of the serving automata closed the door behind her. Now, she could only go forward with her plan. The ‘pons’ they walked over was framed with a mix of stained-glass arches and plain archers’ windows on either side,…

“Duke, it was widely accepted that Past Livers had unique skills that varied from person to person. What if those skills became entwined with a bloodline? That’s all well and good, but how were those skills activated? Was it innate, or was something presented to them?” “After you mentioned an Ancestor with skills earlier, it helped me to put everything together. So now I feel free to speak on it.” After she said this, she let the silence settle slightly. It was a mean tactic, but it would make…

Delphina swiftly moved on from this thought as they finally made their way into the Head of the Family’s private study. Unlike the Gothic Victorian exterior, the study was considerably more modern, and unfortunately, the Georgian patterned wallpaper had made a reappearance. Nodding to herself, she knew her earlier guess about Elvira’s behaviour had most likely been correct. “Is it okay to redecorate the Family Heads’ study like this?” she thought as she looked around. It was a very old room,…

“So Maria and Donovan were also Past Livers.” Medinador nodded. “Yes, it’s a secret passed down from Head to Head. That’s why the detection devices are set up the way they are.” “Because you were twins, we assumed both of you were Past Livers once again, just like them. There’s always been a suspicion whenever twins or triplets appear in de Velasques.” Delphina raised her eyebrows at hearing this. That was quite the frequent occurrence for fraternal twins, considering their lifespans.…

{Are you able to read this clearly, No.69? I’m concerned that I’ll be looking down at my wrist a lot by doing this. So I’m going to type without looking from now on} Because she was now facing the windows, she could make it seem as if she was admiring the view outside of them. No.69 seemed to understand her intentions, as it darkened its screen and moved in front of the nearest glass pane. {Are oyu sure? Im sure ill ge used to it…

“Yes, that’s correct, but just to remind you. It is the Twenty-Seventh of Shiwasu, so one month and one week would be on the Third of Kisaragi.” Ah, there it was. Delphina knew there had to be some East Asian relics present somewhere in this World. Because the Game was a Japanese-Korean joint effort, she was surprised at the blatant push for European nomenclature. However, like many things in the Otome Game industry outside of China, if it wasn’t set in a school or academy setting. It was a…

Because of Jenkins’s size, she could stroll at a leisurely pace and get a better look at her surroundings. The stone flagstones were a recurring theme in the long corridor they wandered down. But rather than being akin to some Renaissance stone chamber like her bedroom, there was dark-toned wood panelling halfway up. Interspersed glass lamps provided a warm-toned light, despite the large arched windows at both ends of the corridor. Front and back. They didn’t provide enough light to appreciate the…

“Wow! Phina, I always thought you took after your Father the most, what with you being so quiet. But we sounded perfectly alike just then!” That was not the compliment Elvira seemed to think it was. But that did explain the overreaction from the others just then. So Delphina opted to politely smile and add yet another sugar cube to her Absinthe. “Do we have any fresh cold water? I think it would be best to dilute it, Delphina.” Medinador had picked up on her movements once again and knew what…

This way to the dining room. “Did Pietro not say anything?” Pardon? “About the decor? I thought we had similar tastes, but maybe even that has changed recently?” Young Master has recently been out of the Family Home. That’s why dinner is with everyone today, including yourself. “Why do you make it sound like I’m the plague or something? I didn’t bring any weapons this time, you know. Clearly, he doesn’t know either, then. I guess Mother really did time her moves right.” Yes, the…

“Yeah, there’s something not right here. Give him slit pupils and call them Dragon eyes because that colouration is insane.” They were purple, with green and gold central heterochromia. Delphina looked away and then paused. She had remembered something No.69 had said earlier. ‘The de Lunas have both Elven and Draconic traits, and the de Velasques have direct Draconic ancestry from the Imperial Family.’ Now, Elvira was a de Luna, and well, obviously Medinador was a de Velasques. So maybe this…

“The exercises were planned for at most a month away, but they can comfortably be brought forward by at least one week, so we can celebrate our birthday at the Capital if you’d like? I would have thought you would want it to be here still…” “But if my sister wants to socialise, then having our birthday out there would let people come to know us before even the Ball. I’m assuming you want to go to the Imperial National Ball like I was going to with the Knights, rather than hosting a private…

Spinning around gently, Delphina was obviously very pleased with her choices. The corset she had chosen had a similar pattern to the trousers, although it was not the same shade and had metal front latches. Everything complemented each other like she had hoped. “Right, no gloves for now, I need to fix up my hair. Let’s go for something the old Delphina most likely would have done, but add some of my flair to it.” Taking a look around once again, the dressing room had a low sofa-style window seat in…

Ignoring the heavily glitching ‘titles’ and ‘active skills’ sections, she clicked on the passive skills upgrade bar, causing a list to shakily unfurl. Whilst she waited for it to finish loading, she kept her eyes on the spinning cube. “𝓐𝓽 𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓽 𝔂𝓸𝓾’𝓻𝓮 𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓵𝓵 𝓾𝓼𝓮𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓼𝓸𝓶𝓮𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰, 𝓱𝓾𝓱?” She was glad to see that this ‘system’ was still functional after all this time, even if it…

“Ugh, look. I can’t remember every specific character’s name if I wasn’t interested in them. It was Hail, Gail, or something similar. The bear beast man from the Burgess Knights, who usually ended up crossing swords with Pietro.” “Excuse you?” Scrunching her nose up at this news, Delphina was thoroughly confused. In the Game, Hayle was just a Knight of the Burgesses, didn’t have a surname, and was most certainly a bear beast man- though in-game, it was a…
