I Became The Tall Villainess' Follower

-Slapping little bitches-

I went to the table, everyone is staring at me 

So i said a general greeting, I lowered my head and bowed

"Greeting, I'm Shina Von Icelind" 

I raised my head and met their gaze showing a polite smile

Those who were first at the entrance were mostly children who even if looking at me, the butlers or the maids probably advised them not to stare at me too insistently

But since we are now alone they behave like a child would in front of someone beautiful. Some blushed, others gasped, others talked into each other's ear looking at me

Obviously, as i'm already 23 years between my past life and the present one, I am not intimidated, but I wonder if the past Shina had received the same treatment

 She was very shy, so she must have felt really uncomfortable

I sat down and calmly drank a sip of tea just poured from one of the maids, there was a dead silence and everyone looked at me examining my actions

'...........'

'I must say that I'm also beginning to feel uncomfortable'

At one point a reddish-haired girl opened her mouth with a face even redder than her hair:

"Wh-what does Miss von Icelind like to do usually?"

i smiled gently

"I love reading and I like gardening" i said in a kind voice

'Bullshit, I like magic and swords but of course I can't tell'

After this, thousand other questions came in bursts, I kept my calm and answered all of them lying shamelessly

'After this meeting I think I will never go back to a tea party for quite a while, it's just too boring, as i am a noblewoman, I have to conform to society and say what others want to hear, I can't really talk about what I like without being considered weird or bizarre'

While I was answering, I looked around and among the heated faces of all the children who were bombarding me with questions, i saw a little girl set in a corner of the table eating a cake, all silent

I began to look at her better and....

OH MY GOD!!

she is the cutest little girl I have ever seen!

Hers is not a seductive and mature-like beauty like mine but instead she is cute to the extreme

She is a little shorter than the others, her legs dangles under the chair, her hair is a cobalt blue and her eyes a deep blue, she is a little overweight but that did nothing but increase her cuteness, her cheeks are plump and as she ate the cake they became even more rounded

I will never, ever get married but if I were to have a child I would like it to be like her

For some reason everyone was at least a place or two away from her and no one spoke to her.  The others seemed to isolate her, she is all alone

Oh, my she's so pitful!

I continued to stare at her, looking away from time to time

She seems to be expecting someone as she always has her head turned towards the entrance with sparkling eyes

The little girl, perhaps feeling observed, raised her gaze that met mine, I answered her with the most radiant smile I could

In response she turned red as she lowered her head to her cake
