Mana: Before The Rise 31 Alicia The Unfinished 2

Rachel rolled her eyes and continued to read her book. While Ignoring the berating comments of her older brother. Her parents are riding in a different carriage then them, so they can't tell her bratty older brother to shut up.

He doesn't get physical anymore due to her beating him as for the rumors her Father had already taken care of them. She only had a few mutters under her breath about her daughter being unfilial and being smarter than the heir of the household. Well, the father had no complaints her was as silent as always.

Arriving at the dream like castle, the looked like it was ripped straight out of a fairy tale. Pure white decorated in gold guards stationed at certain point doing their patrols. She was taken to a beautifully decorated garden where three people are present. She recognized them as the King, Queen and their young Prince.

Crown Prince Alexander, Rachel felt her heart speed up for a second at seeing him. But Rachel kept her expression deadpan and unimpressed. The King had frowned while the Queen was distracted by the cute and cold little beauty.

'Such a cute little girl' the Queen thought.

Rachel still had her eye on Prince Alexander who in turn stared at her, their parents had already introduced each other but the moment turned into silence when the two stared without a word.

"Alicia, how about you introduce yourself to the prince." Her mother gritted her teeth at her daughter, Rachel folded her arms like a little adult her gaze locked on her mother.

"What's the rush Mother, it's only a Prince" she said mockingly.

Crush, her mother nearly crushes her poor fan to death "You…" her face was red with embarra.s.sment, but she didn't dare blow out in front of the royal family.

"Besides, Mother why would I give a greeting to someone beneath me. A Prince, he is, and yet form what I heard he's not much." Rachel turned her heard and gave him a dull expression "Little Prince, did you think your status is enough to force me to greet you, then you think wrong."

Prince Alexander looked stalled and surprised he stood up and walked to face her head. "Lady Mavis, it appears you have read me wrong. I am-"

"I have not your Highness, everything mention about you was your studies. A genius even, of course not as much as me" She giggled her gaze started to look down on Prince Alexander. "But, its nothing more then studies. When it comes to result and prestige, you fall short of my older brother and he's slightly better than a dog."

"You" said the older brother who is slightly better than a dog. He was furious to be called a dog by his younger sister.

"And what's wrong with that, Dear brother. Don't forget I was the one who fixed your mistakes multiple times. I also don't on some of your minor duties and was already able to prove myself by managing a province all by myself. Without the help from both you and father. Isn't that right, Father" Rachel glared at her father.

"I suppose that is so" Her father said as he returned her dark gaze with one of his own.

The King and Queen only observed but stayed quiet. Rachel gave a quick glance at the King before turning to his son.

'Is this really a child' the King dropped his hand from his beard as he made his own speculations.

"There you have it, your Highness. Tell me what makes you so special if you cant even beat my dog brother."

"Stop, calling me Dog, Wench" her brother couldn't stand it anymore as he yelled at, her.

"See, the dog brother barks" Rachel baited as both her mother and brother nearly burst into a frenzy. She laughed at them. The Young Prince didn't really understand what was happening. But his parents certainly did. Alicia's Father face was getting darker by the second "Careful, Father you look like your about to murder someone. But who I wonder? It certainly isn't me I have done nothing to warrant such vicious actions against you"

'is she making trouble for her family' the young Prince caught on.

"My, how slow of you" Rachel turned to the Young Prince with a disappointed look.

Suddenly, the King Coughed drawing everyone's attention. Rachel could see the look in her father's eyes, he'll look for ways to pay back this humiliation its seems.

"Your Majesty, I apologies for my daughter's disruption and rude behavior"

"It is alright, your daughter is still young." He said trying to appear dignified, like and elder forgiving a child who broke some gla.s.s.

Rachel rolled her eyes, and really stopped paining attention then. She politely commented on things with a nonchalant att.i.tude. Since she was no longer interested in conversing the King and Queen didn't press for anything. Despite being left with a though 'Is this Young Girl really a Child?'

Returning to the Prime Minister's estate, Rachel was of course confined to her room. Which she had no problems with, she's going to reads some novels she collected while in her last world. Her authority over a certain province was also taken away. But, she wasn't to worried since all she wanted was for her name to be known.

She yawned as she placed on of her books back into her inventory and went to sleep, although it was still more and close to afternoon. The maids hadn't come to serve her breakfast, in fact they hadn't come to her room at all. Maybe the family plans one ignoring her for the month.

As soon as she slept her, her shadows started to fluctuate all over the room as if they had a mind of their own. Not long later they finally settled down and ceased moving.

Rachel hadn't met the Fiancée Prince of hers for at least three months, which was fine with her but somewhat odd. After being lifted from punishment she was immediately sent to the infamous Queen's Training. Although ultimately in the end her teachers had nothing to teach her since she already excelled the standard.

When she finally did see him again, she was in the garden making her own tea without any maids around.

"Good Afternoon, Lady Mavis" said the young boy.

"…." Rachel glanced at him before ignoring him and siting down in her own chair drinking her tea.

"…." Prince Alexander felt wronged, why was his fiancée so uncouth towards him. It was like she viewed him as a commoner and not a prince. When he thought about their first meeting, he shuttered his father had made him accompany him on meetings. He was forced to endure meeting the wrenched and ugly n.o.bles and then even having to smile polite even though they where full of greedy intensions.

His father took his fiancés word to heart, that his has the t.i.tle of genius but no merit. After the three months of suffering he was forced to visit this woman who is now ignoring him.

He smiled the same way he did the other young girls that faltered him, in order to catch her attention. "Good Afternoon, Lady Mavis" he tried again but still got no response. He got annoyed and his smile started to crack.

"You-"

"Your att.i.tude towards me, was written all over your face the moment you approached." Rachel finally said something while gazing into the garden but in actuality she was looking at her stats on the system screen and using her thoughts to move about. She sighed and pulled her hair back "Your still so incompetent" She berated him, waved the system screen away and picked up a book from the stool on her side.

Rachel sat back and leisurely began to read

"Incompetent, You-"

"You still didn't do anything after I insulted you the last time we met. No Merit at all, since all you did was follow his majesty around. No wonder he sent you to me, he probably thinks I can get you to achieved something."

"…." The young Prince frowned in confusion.

"Ugh" Rachel rolled her eyes annoyed "That fact that you still don't understand, really, its hard to believe you are to be the ruler in the future." She gave him a disgusted look.

When you think about it the Crown Prince is around Ten years old, it's too much to expect a ten-year-old to understand the situation clearly. The King himself was basing his actions early on Rachel's own merit. A child genius that improved a whole province on her own. His Son can not be shown to be lacking in talent compared to his fiancée, this is a matter of pride and not anything else. Or perhaps the King is afraid of how dangourus she'll be in the future.

Rachel stared off into s.p.a.ce in wonder, she found it sad but her 'family' is going to have to be taken care of somehow. The prime minister family is already betraying the country by selling secrets, although there is no physical evidence of that yet. She had never killed anyone before and is uncomfortable with causing deaths. Even though everyone in the Prime minister's family are sc.u.ms.

Her mind has been plagued with questions of How, what, why, where, when, and if. Looping around with no progress. She wanted to avoid death but that seem impossible without her fall in the end. She cannot be a commoner when Wendy arrives in this world. She has some forces in the Fair Province, they are even willing to sacrifice their lives for her if she even gave the word.

"Hey!" the young Prince yelled in her ear, bringing her attention back to him. 'What is with this girl?' the young prince thought. 'Why does she keep doing this?'

Reading his facial expression Rachel rolled her eyes and turned back to her book. Prince Alexander's face was already red with anger, he felt like doing a seriously childish thing like s.n.a.t.c.hing her book and ripping it to pieces. Just so she would listen to him.

"Childish" Rachel muttered

"Fine then" Prince Alexander huffed before turning around and leaving. From their she won't see this idiot for a year.
