~Amaryllis' POV~

As I watched my parents walk to the door, I got an idea.

'When I start walking I should find the library,' I thought as I yawned, 'but first, I should sleep.' I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, I was in a library. My sanctuary. The library has many stories of different lives, whether they be real or fake. They never criticized people, never hurt people, intentionally that is. I noticed a book a book I read multiple times in my past life.

The book is called 'Illegitimate Child', a book about a boy who was kidnapped from his parents only to end up there again when he escaped. He doesn't know that they are his actual parents, of course, but the evidence from the hospital doesn't prove that he is their child nor does it prove that he is not their child.

When they finally realize he is their son, he is sailing on a lake near their house, protecting his sister from his captor's friend. I really like this book because, before my mom started abusing me, she had given this book to me.

I allowed a small smile to grace my lips as I remembered my past life before the abusing and bullying started, but as soon as it came it disappeared. I walked towards the bookshelf to grab 'The Illegitimate Child.' As soon as I did, I woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I noticed my sister staring at me. We had a little stare-off, with her face smiling giddily and mine impassive. After a couple minutes, our parents walked in, looking lovingly at Clara while glaring at me.

'I wonder why they glare at me? Am I ugly or does it have something to do with their family?' I thought. 'Oh well. Their problem with me is their problem alone.'

~~~~~~~3 months later~~~~~~~~~

I started walking after 3 months of being reincarnated, slow as it may be, and I also started talking 1 month ago. My parents probably thought of me as weird because I never cried like my sister does and I started walking and talking way too soon.

'Memories are really helpful, huh?' I thought.

So, as promised to myself, I walked around looking for the library. I came upon 6 rooms that looked utterly useless. They were used for spare decorations, supplies, and just utter garbage. When I came upon the last door, I noticed that it was opened a crack, so all I had to do was push the door open. I looked at the room and noticed that it was the library.

I walked into the room and started looking around the room for books that might be useful but I could only reach the bottom shelf. While looking at the books, I noticed one small detail. The books were all nice and neat, like no one has ever read them before.

As I continued walking, I came upon one book that seemed useful. It was called 'Geography of Maxis.'

"Maxis is the world I'm living in now, apparently." I said out loud.

I pulled the book off the shelf and started looking through the pages of the book. I noticed that the geography is just like Earth and even had the same continents, countries, states, and cities as Earth. I reached the last page and returned the book to its rightful spot on the shelf. I also memorized the way here so I can always come back.

I started walking towards the door, until I heard voices in the hallway. Both were male, but one had a gruff and manly voice while the other one had a nice and pleasant voice. I couldn't make out the words they were saying except for 'kidnapping', 'oldest daughter', 'ransom', and 'kill afterwards.'

They were probably talking about me, considering I'm the oldest, they were in my house, and the heroine's sister was never mentioned in the otome game. Ah yes, did I mention my sister was the heroine? No? Well, now I did. Anyways, this is most likely the reason the heroine's sister was never mentioned in the game, she died when they were babies.

My face never once changed ever since I heard this news. This was one of the reasons I was hated in my past life: I never allowed my face to change, even when I did it was rare. I only allowed my face to change when I was in a library reading books, playing or admiring animals, and playing games.

When the voices started getting quieter and I heard footsteps walk away, I opened the door. I looked to the left and right to make sure I was alone. When I made sure I was, I started walking towards my shared room.
