(Elizabeth's POV)
I am feeling well right after I awoken earlier this day. The manor became extremely busy with the preparations for the emperor's banquet tonight. According to my personal maids Lin Sha and Lin Tsu, the crown prince will be celebrating his 19th birthday, which will mean he is finally choosing an imperial consort. And each of the noble maidens is invited to join the selection.
Instead of going to the banquet, I spoke with my father and told him that I'd like to stay in the manor. I fell asleep and woke up a few hours ago and it will be hard if I acquire trouble for myself when I get out of this residence. He did not disagree, so that means two things; one - is that he actually cares about my well-being and second – is that my father has another motive in letting me stay, and if it's the second case then crown prince might have not qualified as the successor of the current emperor.
It is likely that I will be betrothed to the successor of the throne and that is to ensure that the kingdom will have equilibrium. The footing of the family has rooted deeply in power, the king must be thinking of possibilities and ways to engage me to the successor. The previous owner of this body has met the imperial family before and they have been 'very kind' to her based on her memories, though she acted unruly and willful. Well perhaps snakes are kind to their peers before they scheme for a kill.
”Lin Sha, Lin Tsu, accompany me to the library.”
”What are you going to do there miss?”
It was known that in this era women only focus on learning the four arts, but I'd like to differ from them. I want to do business and martial arts, so it is likely that I will need to review books about palace etiquette and imperial law first. This place is full of dangers, women aren't liberated to the extent of choosing their own marriages. I might as well teach myself the knowledge of law.
