Chapter 8.2

Why me?

Amer di Kairos sighed inwardly.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

She is 19 years old this year, and has a property test that will determine her life in the upcoming New Year.

Like all 19-year-olds, regardless of status, she has been losing sleep lately because of the matter of her attributes.

What are my attributes? I am still from the royal family, but i wont be a dud, right?

Concerns that she wont awaken are absolutely ridiculous.

Amer is a member of the imperial family.

It is the most noble lineage in the empire, inheriting the blood of the goddess Kairos.

In the history of the empire, there has never been a case in which a direct descendant of the imperial family did not attain an attribute.

Her younger siblings and her maids remind her of this fact and all in all tell her not to worry about it.

But how could she not be nervous?

If Amer were a non-attribute, the whole empire would be turned upside down.

This shocking news would spread everywhere, from nobles to slaves, with no one ignoring it.

The respectful eyes of her younger siblings and the courteous attitude of the court ladies would, in an instant, turn into contempt, and she herself would not be able to raise her head in the imperial castle.

Perhaps, in order to maintain the legitimacy of the imperial family, it may be announced that Amer was not a member of the royal family in the first place.

Her mother would be dethroned with the disgrace of being an adulteress, and her genealogy would be destroyed.

Amer couldnt stop her thoughts from going further down a rabbit hole of pessimism.

She is so insecure about the matter in fact, that she had started following the superstitions of the townsfolk that supposedly allowed her to gain an insight into her attribute.

If she put water in a bowl and bowed to the sky seven times a day, the god would supposedly take care of her and bestow her with an attribute.

If she acquires pure magical water and bathes her body in it three times a day, she may acquire attributes, or so they say.

I know it doesnt work, but theres no harm in trying it...

As such, while Amer suffered from nightmares in which her attribute test came back as a dud every night, the signs of the cataclysm were reported to the imperial palace.

Um... First of all, would you like to introduce yourself, starting with the person on the left?

Ah, hello! Im Choi Ji-hoon! I am one of the executives in our class! The princess is really beautiful! The most beautiful person Ive ever seen in my life

The man on the far left appeared like a rambunctious aristocrat who fell in love with her beauty at a social gathering.

She only asked for a self-introduction, but luckily, the man next to him cut off his flowery words of flattery.

Hello, Im Jung Ji-hoo. Im the vice president of our class.

Hmmm... This man gives off a magical, intellectual vibe. His hair looks great.

Hello Princess, Im Park Min-ho! Thankfully, I was chosen as the representative of our class.

She had more regard for the man named Park Min-ho than Jeong Ji-hoo.

It was because she liked the confident atmosphere that Park Min-ho gave off.

And looks-wise... Hes more handsome than most aristocrats...

Hello. My name is Min Hye-rin and I was also chosen as an executive member of our class.

Amer, who turned her gaze to the sweet voice of the woman next to him, was quite surprised.

Wow, shes so pretty... I wonder if this is comparable to my level?

This is a judgement laced with a hint of pride, but the saying that the princess is the most beautiful in the empire is, in a way, the truth.

Ones appearance is proportional to the level of their attributes, and genetic factors have a very large effect on attributes.

Also, the blood of the imperial family is the noblest blood in the empire.

Therefore, the most beautiful of people always had no choice but to become a member of the imperial family.

It is in everyones instinct to be interested in beautiful things.

Amer felt like wanting to get to know Min Hye-rin.

I see. Thank you for introducing yourselves. Its late, but I want to say welcome to the Kairos Empire. Ive been appointed as the general manager of all the summoned, so if you have any inconveniences, feel free to communicate with me through the maid!

Several people stood behind her: the maid who recorded every single exchange down, the maid who was the general manager of the main building where the summoned lived, and the knights who were in charge of the safety of the princess and her maids.
