Capítulo 5: Chapter 5
Angelica Godhart POV:
Today was a rather important, I was to meet the heir of the Empire's only Archduchy. His bloodline was on par with my own, he had the blood of the Dragon's flowing through him. Whilst I had the blood of an Angel, we would both become leading figures in the world.
But I didn't really care about meeting him, ever since I awakened as a Mana user and my bloodline activated. I've been able to see people's emotions, I've been able to tell what kind of person they are and whether they're lying. It's been scary, people who I thought were trustworthy were actually enemies who were simply lurking in the shadows.
One of the apprentice butlers who I had become friends with was an assassin, I'd have been fine not knowing. But these eyes won't let me hide or run away from reality. Everyone had a side that they wanted to hide, but before my eyes, nothing could be hidden.
I sighed, one of the maids opened the door. I entered the room and curtsied, I looked at the boy infront of me. My heart skipped a beat, he was adorable. His face was somewhat effeminate, his snow white hair swayed in the breeze and his crimson eyes were beautiful to look at.
I did a curtsy, smiled, and introduced myself.
"I'm pleased to meet you, as you already know I am Angelica Godhart, the imperial princess. I hope we get along well."
He raised one arm across his chest, it reached just below his shoulder whilst the other arm rested on his back. He gently leaned forward, he was showing me respect. But not submission.
'Interesting, I knew that the Archduke didn't need to kneel before my father. But I didn't think the heir of the Archduchy wouldn't kneel before me, and his posture. It's perfect, I had heard he was a prodigy but this is somewhat beyond my expectations.'
"I also hope we get along well, I'm Reinhardt Avalon. Heir to the Archduchy of Avalon."
I looked at the boy in the eyes, I could control my eyes to a certain extent. Sometimes I could turn them on, other times they wouldn't turn off and sometimes they went on without me wanting them to.
'I guess it's better to know what kind of person he is now rather than later.'
I willed Mana from my core into my eyes, enhancing my vision. Normally, information about the person in question would flow into my mind, and I would instinctively know if they were lying. But when I looked into his heart, there was nothing. It was an empty void of nothingness, he felt nothing when he looked at me.
Normally people would feel flustered or an emotion similar to that when they laid their eyes on me. But he felt nothing, no affection or envy.
I shuddered, I was the imperial princess and one of the most talented people out there. There really shouldn't have been much to fear, but he struck me with fear.
No, it wasn't fear that I felt. Just overwhelming and overwhelming feeling of shock and excitement.
'I wonder what kind of expressions he can make?'
I didn't know why, but I wanted to know what he looked like when he was scared, when he was happy and when he was In pain.
Angelica wanted excitement In her life. She had always been flattered by those around her as her peers had been ordered to do so by their parents. Maids and even bishops of the church would 'coincidentally' bump into her to leave a good impression on her.
With the education she received, she had been able to smile through it all. She was able to reply to everyone with grace and magnamity, it was what she had to do since she couldn't reply in a rude way to the overwhelming sea of compliments that always came.
But, she always felt everything to be boring and bland, but she found the expressions of people to be interesting. Happiness, sadness and the most interesting one among them all was pain.
Angelica didn't know it, but these feelings and her curiosity were a prelude to the beginning of her sadism.
Reinhardt POV:
The current Angelica should've been rather normal, as her interest in sadism began when she saw the protagonist. A truly pure person, he had no hidden sides to him and that's what piqued her interest.
And since she's not developed her sadism yet, I'll be fine. Her sadism started developing when she was around 14 or 15. So she had a good 7 or 8 years to go.
I looked at the girl infront of me, she plopped down onto one of the nearby chairs. She was cute, if I had any real emotions then I'd be trying to hug her right now.
But alas, I felt nothing. It would've been nice if I felt some sort of emotion but I didn't.
"You awakened in five weeks didn't you? Supposedy your talent as a mage is almost as high as mine. But, I'll be telling you this now, don't think that you'll catch up to me, you'll only be faced with disappointment."
One of the other things that Angelica desired was an equal, the protagonist was about as strong as her. And because of his personality, she viewed him as an ideal spouse.
She desperately wanted someone to be on the same level as her, but no one of such caliber really existed. In the game she was my favourite character, I had wondered what it would be like if I could view someone to be the same as me.
But I didn't feel any longing towards finding someone like that. That was the type of person I was, nearly ambitiousless and devoid of humanity.
Reinhardt wondered what I felt like to want something, he had never looked for anything in life. But maybe he'd find out in his second life.
