Chapter 17

"I know a way to cure your mother," I said it with confidence.

"How could you know about something like that?" Ancelina was surprised by my words.

"I have read something similar in the books before," I answered her. Of course, it was half a lie because there are no such books in this world. But there are a lot of psychology books in my past life. I remember about the books and journals that I read because I was interested in that case.

I think I should use the similar approach that I use before and change some parts of it to fit the culture in this world.

"Do you really read it from the books?" Brother Winslow asked.

I can feel Brother Winslow's suspicions in his question. He seems to saw the title of the book that he took this morning. It makes me feel nervous.

Did he find out about my lies?

"Like what you are saying before, I am smarter than normal people." I just answered him with a bit proud tone to hide my secrets.

Of course, I writhe inside my mind because of how embarrassing it was to act like an arrogant genius child when you are mentally an adult inside. But if I think about it, I need to admit that Renneshia is having a photographic memory as I realize that I'm able to remember most things that I saw once.

"But I just see you as a normal two years old child." He said while chuckling and caressing my head.

"So, what do I need to do?" Ancelina asked with a serious face.

"Do you still remember how your father usually acted?" I asked her.

"Of course, how can I forget it." She nodded.

"Then, could you lie to your mother about you meeting your father in your dreams? You should say that he was in horrible condition because of your mother's grief and how he worried about his children and how he hopes for his family to be happy even without him by their side." I just casually said it.

It's not good to lie too often because it makes other people not believing at what we said. In some cases, the person who lying got confused by his or her own lies later. But Sometimes such lies are really helpful to make those who experiencing loss and grief to be able to accept the truth and able to move on from their sadness.

I have read a book that stated that the souls of the deceased are still lingering around their loved ones before they get into the reincarnation cycle and similar beliefs exist in this world.

I don't know if it was real but I just wanted to believe it. That's why I used it to help those who were grieving from their loss.

I remember my approach kept making me like some con spiritualist because I really trick them by telling them I saw the souls or something similar.

I'm doing it for helping people, so it's just a white lie. But I never thought of becoming a good person...Damn! Is it because I hope that I want to be a bad person rather than a good person in my past life? Why those God always do this to me?

"..." Ancelina have a jaw-drop expression.

"...Will my mother be able to get healthy if I do that?" Ancelina have her doubts as she asked me.

"Why don't you try it out and let me know if it works? You just need to make her believe that your father is unable to rest in peace because he worries about his family's happiness."

I can't explain what I learned from my previous life but it should be alright to help her like this, right?

I really hope this will work.

Hearing my answers, Ancelina smiled.

"You are right, my lady. It was something that I should try. It is something free, so why don't I try it, right." She said it with her brilliant smile.

I decided to ask for both of them to secretly help me. Because both of them seem to be won't listen to my warnings and I could see that they seem to want to repay me for my tips.

After we decided about how we were going to act to lessen the possibility that caused them any suspicion and trouble from interacting with me.

Later, I'm bedridden because of my fever and rested for two days on my bed while reading those encyclopaedia-like books.

Because of that, the Viscountess and the head chef happily left my mother and my meals to Brother Winslow.

After resting for two days, I also found out that the tutor's punishment become lighter when I act like I am suffering from the food poisoning.

I'm really glad that I'm able to find a way out from their torture.

Fufu, I think my acting skills will be maxed level when I get out of this damn place. I think I will be a great actress later if I don't know what kind of work I should have.

***

A month has passed.

Ancelina told me that her mother is getting better after she did what I told her. At the time she tells me that her mother has got better, I suddenly hear a man's voice thanking me. I turn my head but no one is behind me.

She told me that her mother quickly regained her previous strength and was already able to do most of the activities that she did before she got that sickness. Because of it, Ancelina keeps thanking me.

It makes me really embarrassed because I just luckily have similar experiences from my previous life, that was why I can help her.

I am just really relieved that it is working.

When she went back to her house, I keep thinking about what would happen if my knowledge from the previous life memories didn't work in this world.

I don't know how relieved I am when she told me that what I told her is effective.

It reminds me of how powerful our emotions are. Like how I made a lot of mistakes even if I have my previous life memories because of my fear. Even now, I still want to deny about the fact that I have become the two years old Renneshia.

All of it was caused by my emotions. I might unconsciously feel the sadness and fear of my death.

The sadness of being unable to meet my family and friends again. These emotions got worse because I reincarnated as Renneshia who is fated with death flags. My fear becomes worse because I know about the horrible future that awaits me as Renneshia.

I think this is why I keep pushing what I think I'm able to do in my previous life to the two years old Renneshia.

I was embarrassed by my own actions.

If I think about it carefully, the first thing I need to prevent is my mom's death. It happens when Renneshia celebrates her tenth birthday.

Renneshia who can only meet her mother on her birthday was so shocked when she saw her mother's condition. And the Viscount used her and throw her away and slandered her after the Heroine said that she was someone that tainted by evil spirits in the game.

My time limit is eight no, seven years from now. It's the maximum time I can stay in this damn place. It would be too late if it's more than this.

Right now I just need to endure it and gain my power while taking care of Renneshia's body.

Just do it step by step and don't rush it.

I have learned a lot from the books that I have read. I still need to read other books as my assignment. The tutor is too lazy to teach me. I feel like I am treated as a stress reliever for him.

That's why rather than teaching me, he just hit me while saying that it was part of the punishment for my laziness while dissing and sometimes cursing at me when he had a bad mood.

He laughed at my suffering (act) and just leave me with the assignments books when he was in a good mood.

I don't want to imagine how he treated Renneshia in the game who would make him feel inferior with her talents.

That tutor is too crazy.

How could he tell the two years old me to read the encyclopaedia book about plants and animals in this world with other books in such a short time?

But I need to thank him for making me read all of these books.

It helps me to find the ingredients that the people in this world don't have any knowledge about its usage.

For example, they believe that every mushroom will be poisonous and they avoid consuming it.

So I asked Brother Winslow to use it for his cooking.

Of course, the head chef happily agreed to let him make those mushroom dishes.

Fufufu..., they must be thinking that we're being poisoned by it.

I think they would never think that I just enjoy the food that I can get and do whatever I could right now.

I'm grateful and amazed by how talented Brother Winslow is.

He was almost able to replicate the food from my previous life memories just from listening to the clues I tell him. That kind of talent is really a cheat.

He was even able to create chocolates after listening to my story and it taste like the famous desserts I have tried in my previous life.

What a monstrous talent.
