The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator

After flipping through three books, she still couldn't learn anything she needed to learn right now, so Su Yuanyuan could only put them into her spatial storage, hoping that one day she would have the opportunity to learn them.

After taking a sip of Felix Felicis, Su Yuanyuan asked the system to draw a prize again. This time, she didn't get a skill, but she did get a special weapon.

It is a chain, nameless in the system, a chain formed by countless vengeful spirits and resentment. Once bound by it, it is almost impossible to break free.

Those who are bound will gradually be affected and eroded by negative emotions until they are completely eliminated, at which point they will be freed.

Su Yuanyuan fiddled with the chain, which was only a little over a meter long. This thing was really not very attractive, and it was similar to the iron chains sold in hardware stores.

However, she still hung it on the cabinet in the space. She's quite capable, and she'll give it a try if she gets the chance.

"Miss, a servant from the Duke of Philwin's household has delivered an invitation, inviting you to a tea party tomorrow afternoon."

Sebastian knocked lightly on the door and entered without waiting for her answer, holding a red invitation with gold trim, implying that he had already opened and read it.

Su Yuanyuan really didn't want to go. She had never attended a tea party before, only seen it in the original owner's memories, where it was just a group of girls of the same age sitting together chatting about gossip.

The original owner was always the one being flattered, but Su Yuanyuan could still see the contempt in their eyes for the original owner from her memories.

They all knew that the original owner was an ordinary person. In this fantasy world, even the lowest-ranking farmers might have various talents.

"Can I postpone it? I'd rather use that time to read more books."

"I'm afraid that won't work. Duke Philwin controls most of the military power. As the king's sister, you still need to maintain contact with them."

Sebastian considered it for a moment and then declined her suggestion. Although they could ignore it, some reassuring social interaction was still necessary for them to study peacefully.

"Alright, you can get ready. Just pick some gifts that are all show and no substance."

Su Yuanyuan pouted and said, "Fine, then go. But don't expect to get anything valuable from her."

It seems we still need to hurry up and study. Once Sebastian finds a way to upgrade, they'll leave immediately.

"Okay lady."

Sebastian glanced at her with a smile, bowed, and left.

Dinner was still cooked by Sebastian. I don't know if the chef here is careless or just too incompetent. I've been teaching him for several days, but his cooking is still terrible.

Su Yuanyuan elegantly cut her steak, her eyes scanning her surroundings. There were five or six maids in the restaurant, and a chef standing by watching her eat.

He sighed deeply in his heart. It turned out that even nobles couldn't do whatever they wanted. Even eating a meal required meticulous etiquette and so many people watching.

With so many people watching, even the most delicious food tasted like cardboard to Su Yuanyuan.

When she was about six-tenths full, the maid began to quickly clear the table. Su Yuanyuan put down her knife and fork and watched them remove the food she hadn't had time to eat.

Su Yuanyuan kept giving Sebastian, who was standing next to her, meaningful glances. She was going to eat in her room later, and she had to go through this twice a day. She didn't know who said being a noble was so great.

No wonder there are no fat people among the nobility; it would be a miracle if they starved themselves like that every day.

After they had all left, Su Yuanyuan couldn't wait to go back to her room. A little while later, Sebastian came in carrying a tray.

"Sebastian, hurry up and find a solution! Let's get out of here quickly, this is unbearable!"

Sebastian brought over steak and cake. Su Yuanyuan quickly cut a piece of steak and stuffed it into her mouth. She had been in so much pain just now trying to pretend.

"Don't worry, Miss, I already have some ideas. We can leave in a few days at most."

Seeing her wolfing down her food, Sebastian poured her a glass of red wine and placed it aside. Su Yuanyuan took a sip and frowned.

"Pour me some tea!"

The red wine tasted very average, not even as good as the ones that cost ten or twenty yuan in the supermarket, but she could accept the taste of the black tea.

Pushing the red wine aside, Su Yuanyuan felt full after finishing her meal and eating two pieces of pastry. She asked Sebastian to clear away the empty plates and sipped her red tea.

"Sebastian, dress modestly tomorrow. We're leaving soon, so let's not cause any more trouble."

"Yes, ma'am."

The next afternoon, Su Yuanyuan arrived at the Duke's castle by carriage. Eunice Philwin was already waiting at the door. Su Yuanyuan did not see Duke Philwin and Duchess Philwin, which meant that the invitation was sent by Eunice.

"Aurora, you're finally here! Let's go inside quickly."

After Su Yuanyuan got off the carriage, Eunice immediately took her arm and walked into the castle. Su Yuanyuan moved her arm a little awkwardly.

Her relationship with Eunice wasn't close enough for them to be able to link arms, so she immediately became wary. Unsolicited kindness was always suspicious.

"Eunice, who did you invite today?"

"I only invited you. I haven't spoken to you in a long time. Let's chat a little longer today."

Yuni turned her head and smiled sweetly at her, but Su Yuanyuan felt uncomfortable all over. She quietly observed her surroundings and did not sense the presence of anyone else.

Eunice led her to sit in the flower hall, where only two maids were serving her.

Su Yuanyuan picked up her teacup and took a sip. Not wanting to guess anymore, she looked up at Eunice, who seemed hesitant to speak, and asked her directly.

"What do you want with me?"

"No, it's just that I've missed you since I haven't seen you in a long time."

Eunice's smile was forced, and she probably knew it herself. After she finished speaking, she picked up her teacup to cover her mouth and even offered Su Yuanyuan some snacks.

"Just say what you need to say. I have some things to do and can't stay here for too long."

Su Yuanyuan didn't want to say much to her. Anyway, she had a title and wasn't afraid of offending a duke's daughter.

Has His Majesty the King mentioned any marriage arrangements for you?

Eunice wasn't usually one to keep her mouth shut. She only thought of herself as the Duke's daughter, or perhaps it was just a habit, and never considered that Su Yuanyuan was a prince, someone she couldn't afford to offend.

So after saying it, she didn't think much of it and started enthusiastically recommending her brother to Su Yuanyuan.

Su Yuanyuan listened as she kept emphasizing that marrying her brother was the best choice for her, otherwise choosing someone else would only make her look down on her for having no talent at all.

As for Eunice's brother, Su Yuanyuan searched through her memories for a long time before she could recall anything. It seemed to be called Lester. The original owner had only heard someone mention him once.

Lester is a typical playboy who changes women as frequently as he changes clothes, but because he has a decent-looking face, women who want to climb the social ladder still flock to him.

After learning what kind of person he was, Su Yuanyuan understood that Eunice's actions today were likely at the behest of Duke Philwin.

Because he controlled most of the military power, and Su Yuanyuan controlled all the wealth of the empire, if Duke Philwin married her, it would be easy for him to overthrow the dynasty.
