When Primrose, an average everyday girl, walks home in the rain, she spots a kitten sitting in the middle of the road and a truck approaching at high speed.
And as a closet animal-lover, how could she not save it from the ever so devious and doomsda...
A couple years had now passed and the books in our libraries (and the large public one) had been read. I feel kind of sorry for others, not only was I extremely capable in magic—I had an eidetic memory. The tutors had all given up on coaching me, saying my understanding was too complex for even them to understand. From my limited knowledge of the social world, I found out they hailed me as a genius and prodigy.
Quite a few things happened in these years—the saddest being Mother's death. She had died at my unborn sibling's announcement party. Though Father and I looked and looked, we could never find the assassins. My only conclusion was that they were under royalty from an opposing country.
At first, Father had been overly sad. Not only had he lost his wife and mother of his daughter, but his future son. It had taken a huge toll on him and he was unhealthy, sickly and a very very unhappy man... So I did all I could to cheer him up, and it eventually worked.
In that time, the family also gained a new member. But with my bad luck, it was another route for the heroine's harem. His name was Lucian—now my older brother. Strangely enough, with so much difference compared to the original story, I thought this would change.
Unlike many of the other good endings, the one with Lucian was strange. It was acknowledged multiple times throughout the story that this man was a low-key sis-con but no one had ever imagined that he would reject the heroine for the villainess!
Though even he could never stop the execution of Amaryllis. That was inevitable throughout the game. Even so, if it even gave the smallest sliver of hope, I would take it.
"Onii-chan!" Lucian looked up from where he was sitting on his bed-immediately grinning upon seeing me. Okay, maybe I did grow rather attached to my elder brother over time...
His amethyst eyes were light and full of my laughter, and I saw my own rather pretty reflection back in them. "Ama, you know the ball is happening in a few hours and you're not ready yet! I have a feeling all those maids are looking for you. You'll be the prettiest girl at the ball Imouto, and since you will be, Onii-chan will protect you from all the scary men!" Sometimes I forget this older brother really doted on his sister.
Pouting, I waved my hand and my dress immediately changed. Creation magic was extremely useful. It could create clothes, letting me not have to wear those disgusting frilly things the maids always chose.

^^^Amaryllis' dress
All of a sudden, my personal maid burst in. Her pink cheeks were tinted a tomato red in anger and those pretty eyes were narrowed in a glare at me. She was one of the few people that treated me normally, instead choosing to constantly scold me.
"Amaryllis Aster Fleur de Kusteza! You know not to escape when an important gathering happens, for this, I will request the cooks to not allow you into the kitchen and the stable boys to not allow you near the horses!" I gasped, she wanted to take the fun things away from me!
