Once Again Into the Light, Alone - Chapter 15

Chapter 15

After separating from my mother, I walked into my room alone.

I am always used to sit at the table next to the cabinet and thinking about some deep questions.

What kind of person will I be in the future? I have no clue yet.

Although it’s not that I have never considered what kind of person I want to be, but….

There is a problem that must be solved, so my future has no idea what it will become.

I want revenge. I can’t forget the Edenbell Empire and my previous life.

Simply put, I have been living in the past.

Since getting life again, I have been immersed in the past life continuously.

I cannot forget the past because it is also part of my life.

But now, I cannot refuse those who help me every day and want to make me happy.

It was too difficult, I sighed. I have to think about the spring festival…

It’s distressing, but now is the time to focus on these things that I can do.

*****

The next day, I came to the Palace Library early. I have a reason to be so anxious.

I have decided to stop learning elementary ancient languages ​​since yesterday.

Although the learning process is very difficult, because I have generally learned the basic vocabulary and mastered the principles of words, I can basically guess some words and sentences that are difficult to understand and difficult to translate.

I think it’s time to start practicing.

I’m still a little nervous.

I passed the palace garden, entered the library, and saw a familiar librarian.

He is a librarian who has worked here for a long time. When I was young, he always recommended high-quality books to me, and he never cared about my age and reading level.

I accepted his greetings and talked to him.

He smiled and said: “His Royal Highness, you came very early today. The library has a new batch of books. Would you like to read it?”

Every time I come to the library, I often talk to him for a long time, because the books he recommends are always interesting, but today, I want to hurry up and read books about ancient languages ​​as soon as possible.

“Sorry, I don’t have time right now.” I said as I walked to the bookshelf in the corner.

He chased after him and said to me in a mysterious tone: “Oh, Your Royal Highness, there are ancient books over there.”

I turned my head to answer: “I know.”

My words made his eyes wide open.

“What? That……. Really?”

Seeing him panicking for no reason, I did not answer his question. I walked to the bookshelf with old sayings, and then he heard a voice of astonishment from behind.

“Why didn’t you tell me that Her Royal Highness learned ancient language? Is that true?”

I soon reached the bookshelf with the old sayings.

After asking the guard and maid to wait aside, I started to browse the book.

The ancient bookshelves are full of books. Although there is only one bookshelf, compared with other books, the rare ancient books carry a long history and are not comparable to other books.

This is the Imperial Library, which contains all the important books of the Empire. If I can’t find them here, I really don’t know what else to do.

“Yeah, it’s true….”

I feel helpless about this, maybe there will be the book I want to find on the shelf.

The bookshelves exude a smell of old wood, which means that the books on the bookshelves have existed in this world for many years and are already very old.

I had to carefully flip over one by one.  But there are some that I can’t understand, because I can only read basic ancient languages.

……I wonder if I can find the book I want.

I read these books carefully, and after a long time, I finally found a book that seemed very useful.

“The history about the elves.”

“Yes, this is the book!”

After I was very happy, the elves near me were also affected and flew around excitedly.

“If I read this book, I might know more about creatures like elves.”

Just as I was holding this book and wanted to take it back to the room, several elves circled around a book.

That very old book.

I blinked.

This book is not only old, but also very thin.

Most of the books on the shelves are covered with leather for long-term preservation, but this one seems to be rubbed on plain paper.

I looked at these aura faces, trying to hear what they wanted to express.  These elves can communicate with me, but they can’t express it clearly or describe it in detail.

I don’t know if it’s because my abilities are not enough, or because these elves are still young.

Therefore, when they want to say something to me, they often use body language to express their thoughts.

Now they are desperately trying to tell me.

—Please read this book.

—You must read it now.

“Should I take a look?”

I stared at them, approached them slowly and picked up the strange book.

Neither the book nor the cover has a title.

Only a strange magic circle is drawn on the cover.

“A book about magic?”

But… There must be some reason why the elves are so desperately asking me to read this book. Then I follow the opinions of the elves.

The elves danced around me and seemed very happy.

I looked at them like that, and the corners of my mouth couldn’t help but raise a smile. I should have done well.

“Then I will take this book back and have a look.”

I put this book together with the book I want to borrow. Then prepare to leave the library with the guard and the maids.

Suddenly a voice called me from behind.

“Aisha!!!”

The voice was so familiar, I hurried back.

Isis is standing behind me.

Perhaps it was to solve the homework assigned by scholars, and his hands were also full of books.

I wanted to rush to argue, and hurriedly said:

“Uh, uh…”

“This is an ancient book. There are still many stories and knowledge in the ancient language book, so I want to try it…”

“really?”

He stared at me as if thinking about something. I swallowed involuntarily.

He may have finished thinking, he spoke.

“Aisha!”

“Huh?” I shivered.

Recently, I have concealed more and more things from Isis, so I am somewhat disturbed.

If he asked me if I was hiding something, should I answer it?

I anxiously waited for his next sentence.

However, what he brought up was another topic.

“I heard that Scholar Almin was here.”

My eyes widened.

He smiled softly, “The scholar said that you are a genius?” With that, he stroked my hair lightly.

“Empress Iris seems to have a lot of ideas about your future, but that doesn’t mean you have to worry too much about what you should do in the future.”

“Do what you want, no matter what you do, we will support you.”

I stared at Isis.

“-Yes.”

“Then I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”

“Huh? Oh, good.”

I was a little surprised at such a plain greeting.

After saying goodbye, he really left first.

This is completely different from the attitude of wanting to stay with me for a while.

I can only watch him go away blankly, as if something is running down in my eyes.

Brother Isis.

I finished borrowing the book and went back to the palace thinking.

“What is he thinking?”

When most people encounter this situation, they would be very strange to ask me why I read ancient Chinese books, but brother Isis gave up this topic without hesitation, as if he knew what I was hiding.

“No, it’s impossible.”

I suddenly felt a little tight in my chest, whether it was my talent as a wizard or I was reincarnated, Isis couldn’t possibly know these.

Because those are too unreal.

“…No matter when it comes, I can’t say it.” I felt a little lonely.

If I said that I was the fourth princess of the Edenbell Empire. Who would believe me?

Even if I listened to that, I would immediately sneer at it because it was too impractical. So I decided to concentrate on the borrowed books on the shelf now.

On the grounds that I wanted to rest, I sent the maid and the driver of the escort out, and then sat at the table with a book.

The two books borrowed from the bookshelf, one is “The History of Elves”, and the other is a strange magic book with no title.

I first opened the book “The History of Elves”.

I still don’t know why the elves strongly recommend this magic book, so what I need most now is the knowledge about elves.

Although I am a princess, I have not been able to be idle since I was young. I learned some basic etiquette and basic subjects, such as sociology, arithmetic, and literature. So I deliberately spare all the time today, just to read ancient Ancient books leisurely.
