"thank you for coming everyone...."
"Yeah..please invite us again lady Evelina"
"I had a lot of fun Lady Evelina"
The tea party ended after a while, by now it's already in the evening.
During the tea party almost everyone forgot Evelina was even there, they kept talking to Angelina the whole time. Evelina was very upset but of course Evelina was concealing her frustration with a calm and innocent smile.
"Let's meet again Lady Angelina!"
"It was a lot of fun meeting you Lady Angelina!"
"Can..I come..by to play again..Lina...? You...are also...my first friend..."
"Of course Allie! Come by anytime!"
They all left with a smile. However Evelina's expression was quite gloomy in the background.
"Are you okay sister?"
"....."
"Are you sick again?"
".....no..I'm okay..sister"
"..then I'll be heading back to my room now!"
Angelina walked pass Evelina with a proud smile as she was rejoicing in her first Victory.
'Hmp! Serves you right Evelina!'
*****
The next day was very boring. I don't have classes today since I only have classes three times a week.
I mostly spent my time in the library, the garden, and my bedroom.
I let out a sigh of boredom
"Miss...are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm just.. a little bored.."
"Oh..."
' there isn't much to do here...in my past life I would've gone to parties, banquets to have fun..but now all I can do is sit around and do nothing...!'
Angelina was laying down on her bed when someone knocked on the door, a maid's voice could be heard
"Umm m'lady lunch is ready..!"
"I'll be there!"
For the past few days Angelina has been in the Mansion, the Skyler family barely ate together. The duke had been busy these days, the duchess mostly spends her time in her study, and Evelina spent most of her time in her room or drinking tea.
It's not like Angelina was upset or anything, she was actually quite pleased with it since she felt a little awkward around the duke.
But today the whole Skyler family would eat together, and Angelina was dreading at the thought of sharing a table with the duke she hated.
*****
When Angelina entered the dining room, there was only the duchess and a couple of maids
"Oh Angelina your here!"

"..um.. where's everyone else..?"
"Oh well your father might be a bit late because of work and your sister...I actually don't know where she is.."
"...well-"
"Sorry I'm late!"
Just as Angelina was about to speak Evelina rushed in the dining room, her face full of sweat, and there was a strange scent coming from her
The duchess immediately covered her nose and so did Angelina.
"Oh my! What were you doing Evelina!? What is this smell!?" The duchess was appalled
"..oh um.. it's nothing..I was just gardening..."
"Which of the gardening products smell like this!? We need to get rid of it!"
The smell was very strange and disgusting. Even the maids covered their noses
"Evelina go get changed!"
"Yes mother.."
'...why do I have a bad feeling about Evelina's scent...why was she in such a hurry..' Angelina thought to herself in suspicion
Soon Evelina came back after taking a shower and changing her gown. But by the time she came back, Angelina and the duchess was already done eating and have already left. They both tried to wait for her, but eventually hunger took the best of them and they had to start before her.
"...tsk!"
"Miss...."
"Shut up Carol!"
"..."
Evelina would always drop her act if it was only her and Carol. And since the duchess had already left, so all the other maids did as well. It was just Evelina and Carol, until someone walked in. It was the duke.
"... Eve?"
Evelina immediately fixed her expression and ran to hug her father.
"Dad! Boohoo...."
Evelina immediately bursted into tears while hugging her father.
"What's wrong dear....?"
"Boohoo! I was late for lunch and when I came back from gardening I was a little smelly so I decided to get changed..but w-when I came back.. everyone already left! Boohoo...their all bullying me!"
"How could your mother and sister do this! ... I'll talk to your mother..okay dear? Don't cry.."
"Sniff..sniff...um...okay..."
Evelina hugged the duke even tighter. The duke didn't know this but Evelina was actually smirking the whole time they were hugging. Evelina indeed had a talent of faking tears easily.
*****
Meanwhile, Angelina was drowned in her boredom. But then she thought of something. She just remembered that she hasn't even tested out the power the goddess gave her.

But first she must know how to activate it.
' it's not like I can just randomly point at someone and take over their body...or something....'
Angelina then started to randomly point at Marie and of course nothing happened.
".....um miss?"
"..... it's nothing.."
'ugh...why did they give me this power and yet not tell me how to use it...'
*****
After a while Angelina went to the library to relieve her frustration.
She tried various ways to activate her power yet she still couldn't. She tried to stare at Marie, held Marie's hand, and even some random hand gestures but nothing worked.
Angelina was quite confused, but then suddenly something hit her head.
"..?"
"What's this..?" It was white book that had big white diamond in the center of the book.
"...what the....I haven't seen this book before....?"
Angelina opened the first page of the book and there was text that said:
[ The traveling soul, a goddess's mercy]
"..!"
She opened the next page to find it was just blank. She opened the next page and the other pages but it was all blank.
Angelina went to the library keeper to ask what this book is but his answer shocked her.
"Um..I'm sorry m'lady but ....we don't have any book like this in the library..."
"...wait what...!?"
******
Angelina went back to her room with the book.
She was still very confused. She was sure this was supposed to be related to her powers but the book was filled with empty pages, so what was she supposed to do!?
She sat on her bed and opened the book again. The pages were still blank, she closed the book. She then bit her thumb in frustration and she could taste blood.
"Ugh...."
Her thumb was bleeding since she bit it too hard. Marie was walking in and was very shocked.
"Miss!"
The blood was dripping on the diamond in the center of the book, and suddenly the diamond turned red.
"...!"
"Oh my...."
"...um marie... please get me something for my thumb"
"Uh..yes miss.."
Once Marie left Angelina opened the book again and now some pages were no longer blank although some other pages were still blank.
"...!"
Angelina read all the pages that wasn't blank, and the pages basically told Angelina the steps to activate [The Traveling Soul]
[The first step was to think of the spell's name and the target you want to possess, the next moment you open your eyes and everything will be dark exept for you and the target you want to posses. On each of your fingers there will be a red thread, and one of the thread will be connected to the target's finger and it will symbolize that your soul's are connected. Then once you have confirmed the target is correct, close your eyes and think of the spell's name and once you open your eyes, you have possessed the target.
'wait a minute...a red thread on each of my fingers..so...wait....does this mean I can possess 10 people!?'
Marie came back to add some medicine to Angelina's bleeding thumb.
"Is miss sick?...miss's face is quite pale!"
"... it's nothing Marie.. I'm just tired ..."
Angelina didn't want to make Marie worry, but on the inside she was internally screaming in shock.
'oh my god! What kind of sick power is this!?..... argghhhh! I can't handle this much pressure!'
"Um miss..."
"Yes Marie?"
"If miss is tired maybe...I should inform miss's tutors that miss won't be attending class tommorow.."
"What..? Oh no.. it's fine.."
"But miss's body is still weak..."
"Marie I only have a year till my debut...I wanna make a good impression" Angelina smiled at Marie who was applying medicine to her bleeding thumb
Marie sighs in defeat and said, "alright..but miss Should rest more..."
Angelina was really grateful to Marie. Ever since she was reincarnated, Angelina had been having a hard time adapting to her new life and trusting people, but Marie was the person who was always there for her and genuinely cares for her.
"Haha...yes Marie...I would like to take a nap before dinner..so you can do your other task Marie"
"Alright miss!" Marie was finally done applying the medicine. Before she leaves, Marie wishes Angelina a peaceful rest.
Angelina then laid down on her soft comfortable bed and let out a tired sigh. She closed her eyes and immediately falls in a deep sleep.
*****
"Huh..? Where am i..?"
Angelina opens her eyes to find herself in a beautiful flower garden. The sun was shining brightly and the smell of flowers filled the air, and she could hear a child giggling.
Angelina walked towards the happy laughter to find a girl picking flowers. She was holding a basket filled with various types of flowers and she seems to be happy. The closer Angelina went towards the girl, the more familiar the girl looks.
The girl has black hair and emerald green eyes. And when Angelina saw this her eyes darkened
"Oh... it's me.."
