Reborn princess: I will change my ill-fate

Aeinshia pouted in displeasement, " I don't know what you are trying to do, but brothe... "

Before she could continue she got interrupted by Felix, " But, how about you introduce few beautiful maidens to me. They can be from imperial or commoners, too, if you know anyone. I don't really mind their status, you know me. I might think about try dating them and know whether we are suitable to each other or not. How about that? I trust your judgmental skills, you will sure get an amazing bride to me. " He told, confidence brimming within him, knowing his sister can surely do such a thing. After all, he I the one who taught her those things. 

Aeinshia's jaw dropped at this statement, " What? You want to me be a match maker? Never even in my dreams I will do such a deed. It's never advised to be a middle party in setting up any relationship, let alone marriage. Brother? You wanna punish me? You can tell me directly if I did anything wrong. Why tell in an roundabout manner, " She pouted, giving her most adorable puppy dog eyes ever. 

A crease formed over Felix's forehead and he tilted his head in confusion, " How is it considered a punishment. Isn't it a good thing, you have the freedom to select your own sister-in-law. Which brother would even give such an golden opportunity to his sister? "

'Golden? My a**. How is that searching your wife is a golden opportunity. Later, if you won't fit for each other or have a fight with each other, both of you will make me a dead meat for sure together. Never ever gonna get involved in this mess. 

Well I told I will help setting up his relationship, but I never meant I will select her myself personally and set her up for him. I only meant I will help him from sidelines. If something bad happens I have to carry the guilt for his unhappiness and the trust between us would also be tampered.'

" But brother, how does even me selecting your wife make any sense to you. It's not like I need a wife. It's you who is going to marry, so it must be you who should find someone who loves you and makes you feel comfortable, someone with whom you can be however you are like and show your true personality, not worrying how the other person receives it. Someone who understands you, respects you, accepts you as you are brother. "

Felix bend towards the table, to take few pins for use, " Then why don't you tell me how to improve my EQ before I start dating? From the words you said now, you sure sound like you got very high knowledge about dating and relationships, hmm? "

Aeinshia turned around to look at him in disbelief. 

Bang~

Felix flicked her forehead lightly, " Don't turn around Aeinshia. You are gonna mess up."

Aish~ Aeinshia let out a hiss " Brother, you could use your mouth, if your hands are so itchy, then use their full potential on styling my hair. Why give pain to a fragile lady who can't even fight back with you brother, " She added, whimpering in pain, clearly showing her acting skills improved alot compared to before.

Tsk~ he clicked his tongue, " What a waste of talent. I think you were born as a duke's daughter by mistake. If you were born as a commoner then you would have become a good actor and would have actually excelled, you know. "

In that time, high class society people were not allowed to become actors or take part in roleplays or or as dancers, leaving such things for lower class society to perform. There is no law which forbades anyone from role playing or dancing. It's just many high class people assume it's something which degrades them and the family name, hence they never allowed their children to take part in such activities.

Whereas, singing is something they feel to be elegant and allows the daughters to take part in training sessions of singing classes, which are obviously private. However, the count of such families is very low.

In most of the high society families( almost all), parents were only interested in training their daughters in etiquette classes and some skills and use them as transaction packages for the family advantage. For them daughter are meant only for strengthening the bond between families and valued men over women, thinking, at the last, boy is the one who gets inherited of their family title, so it's useless spending many resources on a girl, who eventually leaves family.

So mostly, all the resources were used on the boy and the interests of a girl were never given any importance, which limits them the choice of their freedom to choose. That's how society back then run. 

A girl of royal society is always treated as a fragile being. Even, the Empress is seen as a nurturing and empathetic being and not as fierce woman who has the ability to fight the enemy when time comes. Moreover, her opinions are limited in other political matters taken in court room. 

" Yeah, yeah, such a waste of talent already. But aren't the officials in courtroom are best actors. Am I even comparable to them brother? " She asks remembering how well they can step their legs in two boats and at the time of sinking, how they leave the sinking boat to the bottom of abyss. 

They sure are good actors. And uncle is also very good at acting actually. He shows feign ignorance to their mistakes on the outside, but when time comes he dig their past and expose their wrongdoings, hitting the nail right on their head and leave them no choice at the last. He sure got great memory to remember everything others did. It's not really that easy to become the Almighty emperor without that skills. 

"Hmm, you are indeed correct. And when you become the empress, you have to face those award winning actors daily and act along with them. So prepare yourself for the battle that happens inside the palace. Its more severe than any real war, which is filled with conspiracies and plots. One ignorant step, then it might even cost your life. So one could never let their guard off in palace. "

" Trust no one Aeinshia. Even your shadow might betray you if you are weak. Well, technically it does leave you, when you are in dark. So become strong. I know I will always stay by your side and protect you. But not all times are ours. Just like you told, no one can predict future. So one should prepare themselves to face the threatening future and should be capable enough to surpass any obstacle that comes through the way. " He spoke, his voice became serious all of a sudden, clearly telling he is teaching her right now. 

Aeinshia sensed that the atmosphere was becoming thin and tensed. She already has so much in mind and more thinking will be the reason for a headache. And, right now she can't afford to have a headache, she had a festival to attend as a royal.

Aeinshia nodded her head lightly, " Yup, got it brother. I will sure keep that in mind. But I am officially stated as his wife, it never meant I wl surely become the empress. I don't want to live in false assumptions. Atleast not till I become one brother, " She smiled as she spoke, pain and sadness evident in her eyes. 

Idiot, Uncle long planned your future. Even if Evan doesn't want to make you the empress, uncle will sure make you one. Just look into the future and wait. 

Felix understood she got what he meant, so he drifted back to the topic which Aeinshia completely forgot, " So why don't you teach me and improve this pity soul's EQ already? " He asked, wanting to know what tricks she got under her sleeves. 

Aeinshia observed his jade like clear face for a while, then fretted over it for a minute or so and replied back, " Brother, actually you just have to rely on your face. That's the ultimate. "

This reply made Felix dumbstruck. He knew Aeinshia had a thing for beautiful faces and gets attracted easily. But, he didn't knew she would give such a reply to him. 

Is that how you answer to everyone? What is that answer? It's not like I don't know about my superior handsome face. Aish~ it's all thanks to mother and father for their amazing genes. 

Phew~ Felix sighed, not knowing how to respond back. 

" However, brother. Even though your face might get someone for you, it doesn't mean that someone will stay with you forever. You know, reciprocating feelings is very important. " She spoke remembering her past life. This lifetime, she got lucky to gain prince Evan's love and all, but she knew how much it hurts when the person you love with every inch of your soul won't love you back. 

" And brother, I really wish you find someone deserving. I think love is something which just happens with flow, and sometimes the person won't even realise how much he/she loves the other. They might be slow to realise, but I believe they will sure realise it at the end and love each other, " She replied, a sweet smile dancing on her pink lips.
