In the wake of that momentous day, Felix graciously presented Ashaya with a meticulously curated list of candidates, each one a potential companion.

Each candidate was remarkable in their own right, making the decision a challenge. After careful contemplation, Ashaya ultimately selected the young lady from House Zevina Ronald.

Zevina, a year and a half older than Ashaya possessed an impressive breadth of knowledge across various disciplines, much to Ashaya's delight.

Her warm demeanor and rational nature allowed her to forge connections effortlessly with those around her,. exactly what Ashaya had wished for.

With her striking dark purple eyes and luxurious honey-brown hair, Zevina embodied a rare and captivating beauty.

The two young ladies discovered a shared passion for similar interests, and Ashaya soon found herself reveling in Zevina's company, relishing the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations about their mutual fascinations.

In the original narrative, Lucas whisked Athanasia away to the residence of her cousin Jennette, the enchanting female protagonist of "Lovely Princess"

The novel Athanasia reincarnated into.

There, Athanasia met Ijekiel, the second male lead, whom she said would prove to be a more reliable companion than Lucas.

This marked the inaugural encounter between the captivating female lead Athanasia and the second male lead Ijekiel.

Upon observing Ijekiel's superior education, Athanasia felt compelled to enhance her own scholarly pursuits.

'Its funny actually.'
Ashaya mused to herself.

Yet, she harbored her own desire to meet Ijekiel, viewing him as a rival due to his remarkable intellect, which she felt would provide a benchmark for her own abilities.

The three young aristocratic girls were quietly studying in a quiet corner of Emerald palace.

Athanasia was learning sycansian to that she could surpass Ijekiel in knowledge, after all she was a adult at brain and it was humiliating for her to know less than an actual child.

But suddenly something aroused her interest.

"Ashy!!"
Athanasia suddenly called out to her sister who was reading some strange-tattered ancient book.

"Yeah?"
Ashaya replied.

"How much sycansian can you speak right now?"
Athanasia inquired.

"All of it......"
Ashaya responded her face showing shock and confusion.

Athanasia was taken aback; her sister surpassed Ijekiel in intelligence! Who could only speak half of it.

She swallowed hard.

"W-what are you currently studying?" Athanasia asked, eager to bridge the gap between herself and her sister.

"I'm halfway through the ancient Cicilian language, but I've paused my studies to research rune magic."
Ashaya explained, puzzled by her sister's sudden interest.

Athanasia's astonishment deepened; mastering the ancient Cicilian language was notoriously challenging, even for adults, and her sister was already halfway there!

"That's quite impressive, princess."
Zevina remarked quietly from her reading.

"Thank you."
Ashaya replied modestly, smiling warmly at her friend.

"Why were you interested in cicilia?"
Zevina asked, noting that few chose to study their language.

"Ah.. I want to go there even if it's once."
Ashaya said, her smile radiant.

"Hmm, why is that?"
Athanasia probed.

"It's a secret."
Ashaya replied with a playful smile.

"Oh..."
