Outside The Mansion - 5

Erica's POV

I then walk to the music room following Ellen, my maid so that I may play the piano. Earlier, Prince Christopher requested me to play some music, and the good child that I am, nodded and asked Ellen to lead us to the music room. My brother, Phoenix, that left me yesterday for some matters after introducing himself, came to check up on me and the prince, so now I have Ellen, the prince, and my brother watching me play the piano. 'You can do this!' I cheered myself, 'Your awesome at playing the piano!'

I then breathed in and stretch my fingers and checked if the piano is still working. The prince and my brother sat on the couch while Ellen stood behind my brother as they watched me as I test out the piano. I then played the song 'Love like you' in piano as I sang along as well. As I played it, memories of my past life once again returned to my mind. Tears started to form as the song ends, I quickly wipe them not looking at their direction as they slowly clap at my performance.

"That was amazing young miss!" Cheered Ellen.

"What song was that?" Prince Christopher asks.

"Love like you." I answered. I then saw at the entrance, some maids clapping silently as they watch me. I smiled at their direction as they hurriedly left in embarrasment.

Phoenix stood up and approached me as he carefully patted my head. "Did you make it?" He asks.

"No. Someone else did. They are too amazing, credits to the creater of Steven Universe..." I whispered the last part.

"Well then. Why don't we go outside. Maybe having some fresh air can help?." Ellen suggested.

'The outside? I wanna go there!' I then looked at my brother with puppy eyes.

"Sure. I need to find a tailor anyway. Is it alright with you, your highness?" Phoenix looked at Prince Christopher, waiting for his reply.

"Of course. Let's use my car." He smiled as we all walked out of the piano room.

**************

We arrive at the village and I see lot's of stores selling lot's of things. They seem to not have a building like a mall here yet, just small or large shops in a row. They seem to make the streets here for shops, while the other for houses.

We then stopped at a tailor's shop and as brother then went inside the store. Me and prince Christopher, chaparoned by Ellen, walked around to see the shops. Prince Christopher seems to be in disguise since no one seems to realise who he is. But he's still hansome so I'm getting some glares from woman who sees us both together.

'Hmph... I'm more beautiful than you. Look at the men looking at me, their faces are blushing.' I thought.

We then stopped by at a café and ate some sweets and drank some tea, except for me. Im drinking some delicious vanilla milkshake. We then went back to the tailor's place and met up with brother.

"Did you guys enjoy yourselves?" Phoenix asked. He then patted my hed gently and we went back to the car. I sat beside the prince, as my maid and my brother sat beside each other.

"Oh! We should go see tha academy that were going to attend." Phoenix mentioned. He then told the driver to head to the academy.

"We? Don't you mean the both of us. Miss Erica can't even answer a simple question." The prince said.

"The past Erica did. I've been studying, your highness. What makes you think that I can't pass the test." I then pinched his cheeks very hard as he pushed my hand away.

"Were here." The driver announced. We then went out to see the academy.

'It seems familiar. Wait... oh. Oh no. No no no no no no! What is this! Why is the academy similar to the otome game I played in my past life! Why am I here! Is that why their names are familiar? What kind of joke is this!'

"Are you okay, miss?" Ellen worriedly asks. I nodded as I blink my eyes and still saw the same school.

"What's the name of this school?" I ask, Ellen. Worried. I feel sweat began to appear on my palms.

"Crenscent Moon Academy. This school is for people with magic abilities which is mostly filled with nobles. But I heard, there is a commoner with extremely powerful magic." I nodded. My head started to hurt and I collapse.

**************

I woke up and saw that I have returned in my bedroom. It is currently night time and on my desk is my cold dinner. I then approached it slowly. I ate as I think about my new discovery.

'I'm in an otome game. What game is this? It was... 'Quest for Love: Magic Acdemy.' A game in which, the heroine, who is a commoner goes to a magic school in order to learn her magic. She has two magic which is Air and Earth, she caught the attention of the four love interest. Sadly, when there are love interests, there are love rivals. And I am one of them. 4 love interests, 4 love rivals. In the end of the game, I will be banished when the player chooses Prince Christopher's route or the reverse harem route.'

I then finished my cold dinner and set it aside. I grabbed a small pocket notebook with lots of pages and began writting the things that I remembered about the otome game.

'Crescent Moon Academy, the school where the heroine which is a commoner, will attend. There, Erica will bully the love interests except for Prince Christopher, and the heroine since she is known as the ice queen. This is perfect! At the end of the game, Erica will be punished by being stripped as a noble. She will turn into a commoner who will die by hunger, but I'm not going to die like that.'

At the back of the notebook, I began writting out my plan.

In order for me to leave this place, I am to bully the heroine, aka Roselyn Thorn. But maybe, I shouldn't. I ended up getting hurt in the games sometimes, when I bully them. I guess I have to act like I remembered my memories then.

************

Ellen then knocked on my door.

"Come in." I beckoned her.

"Why aren't you going downstairs as usual?" She said. She closed the door as I stood up and began to go to the bathroom.

"Fix my bed." I ordered. Ellen was suprised but quickly nodded.

'I must first be mean to others to make them believe that my memories returned! Bully the heroine- turn to commoner- adventure- find the demon king!'

I finished my bath and ordered Ellen to help me dress on one of the most pinkest eyesore of a poofy dress I can find before heading downstairs. Everyone stared at me and my face filled with makeup like the Erica once did. I ignored everyone and sat down in the dining room with my family. The servants then served us our breakfast and I began thinking on what I'm going to say to them. A cough then grabbed my attention, as I looked at the direction where the sound came from.

"Erica, I heard that you collapsed yesterday, are you alright?" He asks. I then saw the worry in his eyes.

"I am perfectly alright, thank you for asking." I say politely and coldly.

'Erica was always cold to others and even her brother so I think she might be cold to her parents as well I think?'

"It seems that I have remembered my memories." After I said that, everyone around me that heard it, widen their eyes.

"Really? Is it true?" My mother asks.

"Yup. I remembered my past. And somehow, I didn't got my morning tea today." I angrily say. 'I have to act like her for my lie to come true. Im so great!'

"R-right away, young miss!" Ellen stuttered. The maids then scrambled to get me my morning tea.

"H-here you go young miss." She placed down my cup and poured my some tea. I then took a small sip and my face turned into an angry expression that Erica in the past used.

"This tea is too warm!" I shouted as I placed the cup backed down.

"Y-yes... I'll grab another one." She quickly bowed and left, but I stopped her.

"I don't need tea. Just grab this tea and throw it away!" I yelled. Ellen, flustered bowed and left with the tea.

And with that, another rumor about Erica returning her memories was created. Let the games, begin!
