My Fiancée Hates Me novel Chapter 9

I went to becoming a Librarian in the neighboring kingdom Nariel.

Librarians are positions reserved for Nobles. In my first life, I was brushing up on my skills in sewing and the arts and compulsory lessons. I easily finished everything since it was more like review. Now, I am free to do anything I want at the age of eleven.

The largest library around is in a neighboring country which also happens to be the place that Prince Erik has gone to in order to continue his studies. Luckily, there is an open position for me when I applied.

I used the excuse of studying another country abroad to coax my parents in allowing me to leave. All I have to do is continue my personal studies while I am doing my duties as a Librarian and then use my free time surrounding myself with books.

Nariel is a large bordering country famous for the arts and studies towards ancient studies which includes the most famous Asmaria civilization that was once laid beneath it. During excavations, the people of Nariel discovered long lost documents of this civilization.

Asmaria was once hailed as the strongest and most influential nations that existed roughly a thousand years ago. Rumor has it that they were able to able to move coaches without the use of animals and their complex water system was use as a model for the water sewage system for the Nariel Kingdom.

In my first life, I had taken a few minor studies on Asmaria Kingdom including learning about the language and history. At this time, no one has been successful in fully deciphering the language. Even back then, it was rare for people to fully decipher let alone speak it.

Apparently, people of my bloodline were the first and only people that held records on how to decipher the language. These records are taught to only a select few of the Maddox Clan when they are of suitable age. It was not until later in my generation and after I was married that the records were released into the world.

As for why it was released only until much later in time is something I do not know why. I speculate that it might have to do with the rumors of the Maddox Family being the true heirs to the throne or whatnot.

As for the current number of people that know of the language, the number is very few. If anyone were to find out about my knowledge, or the possibility that I may be a true heir to the throne, I may really have to face against this country or Erik himself...

In either case, I should be careful in not letting my tongue slip.

I met with my aunt from my mother's side in the capital of Nariel.

I had not seen her since she had gotten married a few years back. She was just as beautiful as ever with her rosy pink hair and beautiful bright orange-colored eyes.

"Arielle!" she said as she squeezed me into her large breasts.

Everyone I know likes to shove me into their breasts for some odd reason...

"Lady Bernadette Wordsworth, it is a pleasure to see you again," I said trying to remain collected.

"Now, Bernadette...Maybe it is best to allow Lady Arielle some space for now," Duke of Wordsworth said.

"If you say so, Dear Husband," Lady Bernadette said as she released me.

"Welcome to Nariel, Lady Arielle."

"It is a pleasure to see you again as well, Duke of Wordsworth. I will be under your care starting today," I said with a curtsy.

"No, the pleasure is mine. The library already has dorm rooms, so I probably won't see much of you around here. Just remember that you are always welcome in our home and that I will provide you with anything that you need during your stay."

"I am already thankful for having someone of your caliber watching over me."

"I wish you in the best of luck in your studies."

Duke of Wordsworth and Lady Bernadette gave me a ride with their carriage to Exurbia Library.

I wonder if it was due to me riding in Duke of Wordsworth's carriage or my clothes, but I felt as though everyone's eyes were on me.

"Are my clothes strange?" I asked Lady Bernadette.

"Clothes? Clothes from Arundel are at the top in trend setting. How on earth could they ever be considered strange?" Lady Bernadette answered.

"I suppose the people are staring at me then... My looks are strange?"

"They are admiring a beauty as they should be."

"A b-beauty? If anyone would be a beauty, it would be Lady Bernadette."

Lady Bernadette cradled me in her arms again.

"My sister gave birth to such a lovely daughter. I wish to keep you by my side forever!"

Duke of Wordsworth pat my aunt on her back.

"We are in public, my dearest..." he said.

Lady Bernadette released me.

"So, it seems...Let us have tea together once you are settled in," Lady Bernadette said as she bid me adieu.

I waved back at her carriage as I entered Exurbia Library. It was even more beautiful than the rumors with its many floors and lavish decor. There was even a large sphere with large metal rings around it.

I was quickly greeted by a young brunette with twin tails, a long-sleeved light blue buttoned up stand up collar dress with white decorative buttons and white lace decor on the sleeves and neck. On her skirt, was a long fluttery white apron and a golden embroidery design on the hem of her skirt.

"Lady Arielle, I presume?" she asked excitedly.

"Yes, I am Arielle Ira Maddox."

"I am Maura Maci, I am filling in for the Head of the library as her daughter."

She did not look much older than her early teens and she was nearly the same height as I.

She escorted me to my room which was part of a building built right behind the library. I was then brought to a rather large room with multiple empty shelves, a long desk, a vanity, fresh potted houseplants, a large bed, and ceiling length white curtains that lead to a wide-open balcony. For a live-in job of the service industry, this was a bit much.

"Lady Arielle is very lucky to have the best room in the entire building."

"Are all rooms like this?"

"They are generally not this big, but typically follow the same floor plan. The previous tenant brought in and left the large luxury mattress, house plants, and curtains from a nearby furniture store. If it does not suit you, I can have them all removed by today."

"No, it's fine," I said as placed my things to the side. "I never thought librarians would have such beautiful rooms."

"You are correct, Lady Arielle. Librarians are usually reserved for nobles, so rooms here are almost much better than someone could get in the capital. Also, since many librarians are researchers it makes them even more valuable to our economy. I have read about Lady Arielle's portfolio and I say that it is mighty impressive. You could indeed pursue a career as a scholar!"
