Aradia alongside her two servants went down the hallway to the dining room, there was just like yesterday a silence but this one wasn't as awkward it was comfortable enough to not have to think about

But that was Rae and Benjamin's view of the situation, Aradia on the other hand was lost in thought, thinking about the character she had reincarnated as in a story her grampa wrote

Aradia El Duras, she was in fact a character from the original story "The Survival" but not an important one, her presence was mentioned every once in awhile; it was usually Clara who would mention her but that was it; and after the attack at the academy Aradia was not mentioned till like the very end

That was pretty much it, There wasn't much information on what type of person Aradia was, whenever Clara mentioned her it was always when she either missed the redhead or needed to protect the red head as Clara said «she doesn't have strong magic and she's my sister, she needs to be protected»

Clara seems to think that Aradia is reckless and can't take care of herself that's why Clara needs to watch her all the time but after she became the kingdom's hero she had to let go of the overprotectiveness

Yeon Haa snapped out of her thoughts when Benjamin said he is opening the door to the dining hall, Aradia went in and Benjamin closed the door

Just like yesterday everyone was already sitting in there place the only difference was that at the very end was seated the Duke and not the Duchess

The redhead sat down across from the Duke at the very end of the table, she looked at the Duke, he had brown hair and blue eyes, it was said in the novel that «Issac and Ceil, they were the children of the current Duchess, while Clare and Aradia were the previous Duchess's children» this would explain why Issac's appearance does not resemble any of his two parents and why only Aradia has red hair and Clara has pink

The Duke, Valentino El Duras, he wasn't that important in the novel but he did help in the background especially with funds for the main trio as Clara loved experimenting and Isaac would break his sword every week because of how much he trained, let's not forget about the MC now, he would buy equipment such as magic stone's, mana crystals and bombs which would help in battle for screwing up the villains plans

Overall he was a good Duke, caring for his people and Duchy and a good father, doing everything he can to help his children but unfortunately being a head of something like a Duchy has its own cons, such as never having time for family and that's why he was pretty much never around his children, not because he wanted too but because he had no choice

Delicious food was placed in front of all the members and everyone started eating, there was no sound other then forks and knifes hitting the glass plates; not until the Duke spoke up

"Ahem-"

He just like the Duchess from the previous day, fake coughed to gain everyone's attention, does everyone in this world like fake coughing or what-?

Everyone stayed silent, patiently waiting for the Duke to finish what he wanted to say which he did after looking at everyone to make sure that all attention was on him

"How is the food?"

He finally said

'seriously?'

Aradia thought, all that suspens for this? Seriously?

"The food is delicious, father"

Clara said looking back at her plate

"Ah, ahem- that's great that you are enjoying the meal"

"You should eat a lot for good health, father"

This time it was Issac who spoke with him

"Yes, you all should as well"

No one said anything and after a few seconds everyone went back to eating like before

.

.

.

.

.

Soon enough everyone was done eating but the Duchess said the Duke and she had something important to say but finish eating first then talk

"You all will leave for the academy after a few days and if you want something or need anything tell us, we'll arrange it to the best of our capabilities"

The Duchess let the cat out of the bag and looked at everyone

"Well... Some more magic stones would be nice"

Clara looked at the Duchess and spoke

"I would like a new and stronger sword"

Issac said right after Clara finished, earning a glare from her

"Very well then, they will be arranged in a few days"

"What about you? Aradia?"

Valentino said as he looked at the redhead who was quietly listening to their conversation

"Ah- well..."

'what do I say?'

The red head thought trying to come up with an answer, she had not thought about what to ask she was too lost in thought about the characters, after speedruning her thoughts she finally found the perfect thing to ask for

"Money."

The redhead said, *Yeon Haa loved money, no she didn't go after rich people and take their money, she worked hard in her previous life because she had experienced hardship from a very young age and knew how the world only obeys the one with money

She didn't want to rule the world or have people obeying her or something like that, she just wanted a comfortable life without any struggles just to live in peace and have the small things she had always wanted, unfortunately that time never came but now she had a chance to live like that and she was going to use it

"Pardon- ah, alright, I will give you a check with the money tomorrow, come to my office after lunch"

The Duke, Valentino, looked flabbergasted at Aradia's request was agreed nonetheless

"Go and rest, there is still a long day ahead"

The Duchess finally excused the children in the room and everyone went their separate ways to do whatever they had to

.

Benjamin closed the door to Aradia's room as he wished her a goodnight before leaving with Rae to their own rooms

After a few minutes the red head springed out from the bed, she was going to sneak out and find someone

Aradia knew for a fact that her crimson coloured hair would cause trouble so she put on a cloke, underneath the cloke she wore a simple black blouse shirt and black pants with a pair of brown leather boots, she grabbed a small pocket watch before heading over to her rooms window and jump out of it

She jumped from the second floor but there was grass and alot of bushes so the landing wasn't that bad, at least compared to the landing she had before dying-

Aradia groaned as she got up and scanned the area, it was all clear which she expected, the guards went to change shifts, it takes less then five minutes for them to be done and in that short time is her chance to go out of the estate

The only problem is the larg gate in front of her, for security this is good but for sneaking out it's literally a nightmare

The red head had two options, one: climb the gate and go out or two: climb the wall which was a few inches shorter the the larg gate

After thinking for a little while the redhead choose to climb the wall instead of the gate, with much hassle she climbed to the other side of the wall

'man, I need to stretch more..'

Unfortunately Aradia didn't have much time to catch her breath as the guards were coming so she took big steps and got away from the estate

"Excuse me, where is "Drinks paradise"?"

Aradia asked a person passing by

"It's on the left turn"

The person said pointing at the left turn on the street

The person the redhead was trying to find was at a bar called "Drinks Paradise", Ellen DeGeneres that was the person she was looking for; he was the magic professor at "Rain academy"

He was known for being a little cocky and only favouring those who match his expectations both in terms of personality and how strong their magic is; after seeing how good Clare was at magic he took her to be his apprentice and of course Clare agreed, why wouldn't she, he was the best Mage in the whole content

His appearance is said to be «Long titanium white hair that fades to a baby blue and then a peach pink, crystal like blue eyes that almost seem to be white because of how light the colour is»

That was the man she was looking for, in the original novel it was said that Ellen was at a bar called "Drinks Paradise", five days prior to him starting to teach at the academy

He is a important character, he is the strongest in terms of magic and has many alliance's not to mention almost all the Mage's in the content obey him, he is that supreme

And the reason as to why Aradia was looking for him is to make an alliance, she has no intention of becoming his apprentice, no she only wants to learn magic form him to help her be safe when the war happens

Why doesn't she just learn at the academy? Because she has a special request for him

The character Yeon Haa reincarnated as has very low mana, mana is the invisible energy and the reason why magic exists in the first place, a person without mana is not capable of casting magic

Mana crystals are a thing though, but it's temporary and very expensive if you want a high level one of course, but Ellen, he could help with this problem

In the novel there was a time when Clare experienced great damage from the enemy and had to rest at that time Ellen could not go to war so instead he gave a small proportion of mana to the MC and the given mana was not temporary; this was why Aradia was looking for him

The red head stood outside of the bar and took a deep breath before finally going in...

*Alternate Universe*

Yooo, it is i, Yan, how are you all? I know it's shocking, me? Finishing a chapter and updating this early? Damn LOL

Ahem- anywayyyy so what happened was I got motivated cause I wanted to introduce Ellen, I just wrote this character and I'm already liking him so much 😂

And another thing, I BROKE MY OWN RECORD OF THE MOST WORDS IN A CHAPTER, LESSSGOOOO

Originally the chapter reached 1,000 words when the whole scene about Valentino was done but I was writing this chapter this early just for Ellen so yeah now y'all have a long af chapter to read

I went skating on the road yesterday, and oml I suck at it lmaooo, I can skate quite well on an even surface but unfortunately for me the roads here suck like they are so bad anyway I'm just glad I didn't end up in the hospital my hands are still shaking, writing a chapter with shaking hands suck but will I still whine to go skating on the road? Yes 100%

But yeah that's all I really had to say, Ramadan Mubarak to all the Muslims

Fun fact: I ate iftar yesterday (no I'm not Muslim it's just fun and yes I know it's technically not iftar cause I didn't fast but oh well ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯)

And yeah that is all, once again please forgive this lowly author for any grammatical mistakes, hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as I loved writing it

Hope you all love the character Ellen as much as I love him LOL, have a good day, afternoon, evening or night

And I'll see you all in the next chapter, bye
