AN: Hey~!! Hope you guys enjoy this update~!!





Oh no, I'm getting really nervous.

I'm now walking towards the crystal ball which was placed on a podium. It was a crystal ball used to measure the amount of mana and the elements a person has affinity for.

Every noble house was given this crystal ball by the Kingdom to measure the magic of their house's children. However this time, Lawlieala-sama specially borrowed the crystal ball from the castle which could handle much more magical power than the ones we have and more accurately too.

...When did this become such a big deal? Mom, dad, Lu-nii, and literally everyone in the hall are staring at me so hard!

Especially Lawliela-sama! I swear I saw a glint in her eyes!

Hah... Well, I guess they would be interested in seeing the daughter of the prime minister's magic affinity. I was excited at first, but this amount of attention, especially from the guys, is a little bit too much...

I kept my cool and elegance as I walked up to the podium with a pearl-white crystal ball resting on a crimson pillow. I glanced at the direction of my family and saw my father smiling at me assuringly, mother smiling soothingly, and Lu-nii giving me a thumbs up and a small smile.

Hehe, their smiles really calm me down.

I turned towards the crystal ball right in front of me and looked at Lawliela-sama who would be monitoring my test.

She gave me a slight nod and I nodded back.

Phew... It's time. I just need to let my magic flow into the ball right?

The ball became silent as everyone was bated in anticipation. Seriously, this is becoming a much bigger deal than I thought...

Oh right... I think Alterisa's magic affinity test was mentioned somewhere in the game. Her family grandly celebrated her debutante and she was overly haughty, telling everyone that she's going to have an incredible magic power.

But when the time came, she turned out to have a low magic power, humiliating herself and her family in the process.

Oh no... Will I end up like that? I don't mind if I have a low magic power. Although it's unfortunate, I didn't boast about it like Alterisa so it wouldn't be that humiliating. But I don't want to humiliate my family.

I started shaking and looked down at my feet.

Sensing my anxiety, Lawliela-sama put her hand on my shoulder and comforted me.

"It is going to be fine, Alterisa-kun."

"Eh?"

"I can assure you, your magic power is out of the ordinary which would not embarrass you and your family. And I am sure your family would not feel embarrassed no matter the result, right?"

I looked towards my family once again and still saw the same reassuring smile filled with affection.

She's right. My family loves me as much as I love them. They wouldn't mind no matter what the result of this test is. And if the noble society belittles us, I will show them that I could still make them bow down without magic.

"Thank you very much, Lawliela-sama."

"Yes."

I smiled then placed my hand on the crystal ball and closed my eyes.

I build up my magic power and feel it rising in my core. It was getting larger and larger to the point that it covered my whole body like a blanket. Such amount of magic power is usually hard to control, but what I've been focusing on all these years is to do exactly that so I was able to control it properly. Very well even since I felt very calm.

The nobles were all gasping and sighing in awe, but I didn't notice it until I was told later by Lu-nii. I was in a very deep concentration.

My magic power was incredibly cold, yet soft and gentle. It was comfortable and refreshing, and I liked it very much.

After I felt like this amount of magic power was enough for the test, I breathed out slowly and let it flow from my whole body to my hand and into the crystal ball.

"Amazing..."

I heard Lawliela-sama's whisper under her breath, but before I was about to ask her what was amazing, the crystal ball shone brightly. A blinding, sky blue light filled the entire grand hall, forcing everyone to shield their eyes from the radiance.

As the light dissipated, the crystal ball was shining brightly with sky blue and cerulean hue. All the guests gasped as they stared at the crystal ball slacked jaw.

...What? Is it bad?!

But then, a rare smirk appeared on Lawliela-sama's dignified face. Wow, she looks villainous but still really hot! I feel chills creeping up my spines though...

"Heh~ A one in a million genius huh?"

L-Lawliela-sama... Your eyes are getting really scary...

"Alisterisa von Lorya, extremely strong affinity to water and ice, high mana capacity."

The guests all gasped in surprise then deafening rounds of applause resounded in the grand hall. Dad, mom and Lu-nii all ran towards me suddenly and tackled me into a tight hug.

"As expected from my precious daughter! I'm so proud of you, baby!"

"No no, she's my precious daughter Al! Ah~ My little baby is also talented on top of being beautiful! I'm so proud of you!"

"Hehe, good for you Risa."

"D-Dad... M-Mom... Lu-nii... can't breathe........"

Dad and Mom were squishing and rubbing their cheeks on mine while Lu-nii patted my head. Their arms are wrapped around me so tightly that I had to tap out!

It wasn't until Lawliela-sama came towards us that they released me from this blissful yet suffocating hug.

"Altair, Lisa, I will be the one personally teaching Alterisa-kun her magic. Will that be fine?"

"I am thankful, but is it fine for the head of the Royal Court Magicians to tutor our daughter?"

"He's right, Lala-chan. Wouldn't you be busy?"

"It is fine. Rather, I do not want to pass on the opportunity to teach such a rare genius. And I will be teaching her along with Valerie, there won't be any problems."

"Risa-chan, do you want to learn with Lala-chan?"

Do I want to? Of course I do! I got to learn from literally the best magician in this kingdom! What idiot would pass up this chance?!

"Yes! I want to learn together with Valerie-chan from Lawliela-sama!"

Lawliela-sama smiled at me and Valerie pounce at me into a big hug. Hehe, she's like a cute kitten~

"Then I guess you will be busy, Risa. In addition to your customary etiquette and academic lessons, you will be training in combat with Roland and magic with Lawliela. Do your best, okay?"

"Yes!"

Hehe, don't worry dad. I'll breeze through the customary lessons in three months! Then I'll concentrate all my energy with training.

Hm... I might also want to develop some products to make my life more convenient. There are no shampoos and conditioners here and this little lady wants her hair to be smooth.

Let's talk about this with Lu-nii later.

The magic affinity test marks the end of my social debutante. Guests started to leave after I thanked them for their attendance. Hah... Although I've been training to increase my stamina, these kinds of things are still exhausting. There's hundreds of guests for God's sake.

Little did I know at that moment that my magic affinity test had caused a huge uproar in the noble society. I found out later that I was dubbed the "High Society's Flower of Ice". And to my embarrassment... it was so far-spread that most noble and even commoners knew that nickname...

--------------------------------X----------------------------------

Dad, mom, Kiara, Lu-nii and I were currently eating dinner. It was the night after my debutante.

I just began eating since I was feeding my cute little angel. She's so cute~

Mom told me that she will feed her if I feel hungry, but how could I feel hungry when I'm watching her eat with her cute little mouth! My heart is full!

What's more, she would try to feed me too and smiled brightly when I accepted it. Ah, I almost got a nosebleed you know~?

After I finished feeding Kiara, she went to sleep and Anna took her away from me to put her in her crib so I could start eating.

I started eating, but then dad suddenly told me an unexpected news.

"Risa, a letter came from the palace this morning. It contains the formal proposal from the first prince to be engaged to you."

"Eh....? W-What?!"

N-No wait! I know I'll be engaged to him, but isn't it supposed to be a few months from now?!

"Kya~! Congratulations, Risa-chan! I hope you get along with Alexus, okay?!"

Mom jumped me and buried my face to her massive chest.

T-Thanks b-but... I-I can't breathe...

"Hah... that Luke... I can't believe he really sent this letter right after my baby's debutante party... I should make things tougher for him as revenge..."

I-I wholeheartedly agree dad, but you can't do something like that to the king...

"Hehe, congrats little sister. You'll need to work even harder from now on huh~"

T-This guy... H-He's definitely enjoying this right now! Grrrrr, just wait until I get my revenge.

"He will be coming to our mansion tomorrow to formally propose to you in person. Then next week, your etiquette, academic, magic and swordsmanship training will begin."

"I-I understand."

Hah... Seems like I need to review my plans to avoid my bad end.

Things seem to be going differently after all. I will still be friendly with Alex and not become obnoxious and unbearable like the game's Alterisa. But I think I'd need something more.

I need to become someone that the kingdom can't just throw away even after I lost the position as Alexus's fiance. I need to have something more than the position of the prime minister's daughter!

Hm... What should I do...

Ah I know!!!

Hehehehehe, it's time to create a rich empire!!!

Hahaha... Ahahahaha... Muahahahahaha!!!

"Geh... She must be planning something."
