Chapter 103 - "Who Wouldn't Want It?!"

Ainsley was shocked beyond relief. She didn’t know that the 7 great families also had sacred guardians, not only the Sloan Family. Although one couldn’t say which guardians were stronger, they undoubtedly possessed one.

The Aretha Family had two guardians, and so far, no one managed to tame them. But this miraculous baby suddenly came and tamed one of them despite not owning Aretha family’s blood running in her vein!

The news was quite shocking. No one knew whether it was a rumour or not, but since Lady Blair already created many other miracles, people easily believed it.

This was why the Aretha Family’s status soared until they were about to stand head to head with the Walter Family.

Unlike the Aretha Family that owned sacred guardians, the Walter always owned a member of a Royal Fairy contracted to one of their family members as a tradition.

Finley Walter, the only heir of the Walter Family, contracted a fairy of time when he was precisely 10 years old. But in this life, he already bonded with the fairy since the fairy followed him back to the past.

No wonder Finley knew a lot about other families’ sacred guardians since maybe, the fairy of time was the one telling him things.

Anyway, whether Lady Blair tamed the Aretha Family’s sacred guardian or not, no one knew. But when Ainsley heard of it, she almost choked.

Really? Someone already did something that I couldn’t do?

The baby felt her chest slowly tightened. It was stuffy. Her mind couldn’t think clearly anymore, and her ears kept ringing.

She couldn’t tame Code-C even after trying hard, but out of the blue, someone suddenly did something she couldn’t?

As someone who aspired to be a protagonist, as someone ambitious but lacked the brain for it, this news wounded her pride.

The originally prideful baby suddenly went silent. She touched the cream-coloured wall next to her and almost gnaw it, frustrated.

Why? Why? Why can this unknown lady do everything I couldn’t and have everything I want to have?

Ainsley had to admit that everything Lady Blair achieved was something she also dreamed of.

Who wouldn’t want to have a doting father, overprotective brothers, kind maids, warm-hearted guards and loyal vassals?

Who wouldn’t want it?!

But...Ainsley looked down at her hands. It was empty.

Yes. She didn’t have any of it.

A doting father? Her father left her for an unknown woman.

Overprotective siblings? She’s an only child. Even if the branch families had children older or around her age, they never met her. Who would protect her just like what the Aretha siblings did to Blair?

Kind maids? The maids here were kind, but none were that kind to protect her using their body. They only gave her a bare minimum treatment, just like this maid who talked behind her back. They also looked down at her without her charm ability.

Warm-hearted guards? The so-called guards never appeared. If they existed, how could Elliana get hurt?

A bunch of loyal vassals? Except for Elliana and Kyuseli, all she had was a bunch of sly foxes, the branch family heads who always tried to drag her down from her position or turned her into a puppet family head.

She had to be wary of each of them days and nights.

Dreaming to be spoiled? Even Grandpa Yofan couldn’t openly spoil her or give her anything lavish for her birthday.

Ainsley asked Elliana before, and it seemed that this body never celebrated her birthday.

She stayed in a small room that didn’t suit a family head’s room.

Everyone saw in a strange light because she awakened a charm ability.

No one truly cared for a baby who suddenly became the family head because her father left her.

Ainsley bit her lower lips. The more she listened to the maids’ gossips, the more her heart broke in pieces.

She’s not that idiot, even though she’s not that brilliant either. She could feel the maids’ mocking tone when they talked about her, except for that one fangirl.

But what could she do? Fire them because they’re talking bad about the family head?

Others would just see her as a whimsical baby.

She already fired the accountants, and that incited hatred from fellow corrupt members.

It’s fine if her position as the family head held real power, but it’s just an empty throne. If she couldn’t tame Code-C, forget about going to the casino to make quick money.

She might never get out of the puppet family head’s shadow.

historical

Ainsley didn’t realise but tears slowly accumulated in her eyes as she recalled yesterday’s event.

The maids’ words slowly repeated in her mind, and Lady Blair’s bright image showed in her head even though she never met this baby.

Ah...why can’t I do something that Lady Blair can do? Is it because...I am not the protagonist of this world? So this world is truly a novel world?

Ainsley was under so much pressure that she started to think nonsense. The stress accumulated from all the tasks she had to do and the constant threat of the branch families took tolls on her baby body.

Even when her soul was already a university student, her body was just a baby. Her brain handled all the burden from thinking about something above what a baby could think of.

Without enough rest, Ainsley might truly become a normal baby and couldn’t act like her true self.

"Huk...hiccup." Tears slid down the baby’s eyes as she looked up at her bedroom’s ceiling. Code-C had long stopped chasing after its tail and trotted to her place instead, but Ainsley didn’t care.

"Hiks. Hiks." The baby whimpered in silence. The stress dam finally broke free.

Ainsley started to cry for real.
