159 – [Side Story] Student studying abroad in the East Continent – 18
Alyssa was a girl living in a small rural village far from the system. A single-parent family living alone with her mother. Because of this, negative rumors circulated in the small rural town, but despite this, Alyssa lived happily with her mother.
Strangely enough, her mother had quite a lot of wealth, so she had no inconveniences in making a living.
Even so, her wealth was not enough to live on for the rest of her life, so from the time Alyssa started to grow up, she earned money by helping out with the village work.
Even at her young age, Alyssa was quite intelligent, friendly, and pretty, and she quickly became a popular person in the village.
A fulfilling life with no shortages, a kind mother who loves her, and village people who treat her well.
Alyssa was living well without any shortcomings.
Then one day, disaster came.
Consecutive crop failures hit her hometown village of Alyssa, where she used to make a living by farming.
And disasters and monster attacks happening everywhere.
Even so, Alyssa lived steadfastly, but that was not the only misfortune that befell her.
Her mother, who had always loved Alyssa and worked hard to raise her on her own, became ill and ended up leaving this world.
Losing her only family at a young age, Alyssa was heartbroken.
Nevertheless, she somehow overcame her sorrow and somehow managed to survive with the inheritance left by her mother and the money she earned herself.
She stayed like that for several years, and then someone came to her.
Her Alyssa’s family was not just her mother.
Viscount Leifert.
A nobleman who owns a small estate located a little far away.
One day, when he came to the village, he came to Alyssa and said that Alyssa was his daughter.
It was a story like something out of a popular play in her country, but Alyssa was suspicious when she heard the story about her mother coming from the mouth of her viscount.
About ten years ago, Viscount Leifert married Viscount Leifert, her arranged marriage partner, and had a son with her.
If it had been up to this point, the Viscountess would have ended up as an ordinary noblewoman, but after giving birth to her son, the Viscountess became quite neurotic.
He often got angry at the viscount, complained, and threw things.
The Viscount accepted all of his wife’s irritability, but had a difficult time running the estate.
But for so many years… Viscount Leypert, who had been accepting all his nerves, came to the point where his wife began to drive him away, suspecting him of infidelity.
Viscount Leifert was also slowly reaching his limits.
And in the end, he got into an accident with the young maid who treated him kindly and comforted him.
This was the moment when her wife’s suspicions became real.
The maid suddenly became pregnant with her child, and Viscount Ray Furt was troubled.
Just as she is a noblewoman, one way is to take her in as her concubine.
But he couldn’t do that.
The current Viscountess Leifert was repeating her vicious behavior to the point where it was almost like she was mentally ill.
I couldn’t leave it like this.
To avoid being discovered by her wife, the Viscount stripped her of her personal assets, gave them to her maid, and sent her away to her distant home.
He tells her wife that her maid made a big mistake and fired her, and took her to a far away place so that her wife wouldn’t find her.
Then, a few years later, the Viscountess, who suffered from mental illness, lost her life.
It was a suicide brought about by severe depression.
Although she was a cruel wife who was married through an arranged marriage, she is still a woman who loved and married once.
With her complex emotions mixed with sadness and relief, Viscount Leyffert held her funeral and hugged her son, thinking about visiting her after she had been away for a while and taking her as his second wife.
But when I looked at my son in my arms, I couldn’t do that.
Of course, a good and kind son might understand him, but even so, he did not want to bring up such a story in front of a son who lost his mother.
At least if the situation calms down… I thought so and put it off.
But since then she sent away her maid and I had her own child with her.
I didn’t have time to think about them.
The days of chasing after crop failures and disasters that hit the empire for unknown reasons began.
In the meantime, his son died.
My son, who was struggling to deal with the aftermath of the disaster, ended up passing away.
Viscount Rayffert was saddened by the loss of his family, and went into seclusion for several months, focusing only on work.
Then, after the Viscount had gathered his thoughts to some extent, he belatedly remembered the maid and his child.
As a noble, of course it might be scandalous.
A child born from an affair was hidden for over ten years.
But I was planning to bring them even if it meant risking that.
Her immediate descendants, who would succeed Viscount Ray Furt, were the only children born to her.
After a few days of scouring the area where she had sent her maid to leave, Viscount Leifert was able to find it.
A pretty girl with honey-colored hair that resembled his own mother and blue eyes that resembled his own.
At Viscount Leifert’s desperate persuasion, Alyssa followed him and left the village.
The viscount took responsibility for managing the house where Alyssa lived with her mother.
With his consideration, Alyssa left her beloved hometown and arrived at Viscount Leifert.
And certainly proving his origins, that day he became Alyssa Leifert.
What awaited Alyssa was her studies as a noble.
Alisa later became the successor to his father, Viscount Rayffert.
Therefore, Alyssa needed to study a lot, from territory management to etiquette.
He starts his studies later than other nobles.
Of course, it was a time that required more effort and hardship than anything else.
However, Alyssa, who was sincere and intelligent from the beginning, studied hard.
Over the years, Alyssa acquired various etiquette and knowledge and was able to behave without any discomfort as a noblewoman.
It was to the point where he was recognized by the awkward self-author and even his relatives.
It was all a product of Alyssa’s efforts.
In addition, it was revealed that Alyssa had magical talents.
Of course, the Viscount was very happy, and even completed the transfer process for her to Belle Noah Academy, the best educational institution in the empire.
As they spent a long time together, Alyssa felt so much love for her Viscount that she realized that he was her father.
That is why Alyssa, who showed excellent grades in her academy transfer exam, is grateful to her mother who gave birth to her, gave her love and raised her, and her father who pours a lot of expectations and love on her. I promised myself to sleep hard for my sake.

Today was the day I transferred to the academy.
Holding her puffy breasts, Alyssa stood in front of the main gate of her academy.
“Did you come a little early?”
Because it was early, there was no one in front of the academy.
You can wait here for a while and follow the guide dispatched by the academy.
She thought so when Alyssa was standing blankly in front of the academy, waiting.
Someone spoke to me.
“…Hey, is it okay for a moment?”
When she turned around at the sound of that voice, there was a girl standing there with her brown hair tattered here and there and dressed in shabby clothes.
Her purple eyes were rolling back and forth as if she was observing Alyssa.
The face was quite pretty, and I thought that with a little decoration, it would become a popular person.
“Okay, what’s going on?”
Seeing that she was similar to herself and that she did not carry any particularly dangerous weapons, Alyssa relaxed her guard and looked at her.
She opened her mouth.
“Alyssa…Is that right? Alyssa Leifert.”
“Ah…Yes, I’m Alyssa…What’s going on?”
“I see…Yes…”
A smile spread across her face.
She must have been smiling, but Alyssa took a step back without realizing it due to a strangely eerie feeling.
“hehehe…I found it. This is the right time…”
“Um…Hey? What on earth are you talking about…”
“…Alyssa Leifert.”
Alyssa let out an involuntary huff as the girl’s purple eyes looked straight at her.
Then she opened her mouth.
“Give it all to me.”
When Alyssa came to her senses, she was in a dark place.
Has she lost her mind, in front of the academy?
She thought she was in big trouble and raised her body to get up from the spot.
‘…Huh?’
I couldn’t stand.
Without any strength in her legs, Alyssa fell in front of her.
‘Ouch!!’
She seemed to fall and hit her head.
Grimacing in her pain, Alyssa opened her mouth to ask for help.
‘…Huh?’
…The voice did not come out.
‘It hurts!! It hurts!!’
There was no voice telling her to come out, and all she could feel was the pain of her throat burning.
She wanted to scream in pain, but she couldn’t even scream.
‘What? How did this happen? I don’t know, what on earth is happening…’
Alyssa could not understand the current situation.
She felt like she had lost consciousness and found it difficult to get up from her seat and couldn’t even hear her voice.
Above all, it was very difficult to control her body.
It was as if she was not her own body.
“Oh, what? Have you come to your senses?”
Who is it?
I looked toward the voice to see if it was someone, but it was still dark and I couldn’t see well.
“Tch, what is it? You’re hurt.”
The owner of the voice grumbled and approached Alyssa.
Then he roughly applied something that looked like medicine to Alyssa and then walked away.
“You are a product, don’t hurt your face anywhere else.”
Product?
What on earth are you talking about?
Alyssa had no idea.
“He’s blind, mute, and a cripple who can’t even walk, so shouldn’t he at least keep his face in order to be sold?”

Hearing the man’s words, Alyssa felt a chill run down her spine.
She couldn’t understand what he was talking about.
But she gradually came to understand.
Everything that man says is pointing at himself.
“Well, okay. Next time, just accept customers.”
How much time has passed?
It felt like at least 2-3 months had passed.
Alyssa felt like she was still having a nightmare.
Once a ‘guest’ comes in, it is an unspeakable violence against oneself who cannot move properly.
But if you even rebel, you will be beaten up.
Alyssa’s heart, which led such a life, eventually broke.
‘Mom…Dad…Please help me.’
She always cries every night, desperately searching for her mother and father in her inner voice, but no one listens.
And, more than anything, there was something else that made Alyssa more difficult.
“Hey, did you hear? That woman took the crown prince again…”
“Really, she’s not scared of anything, right? That woman, Alyssa Leifert.”
One’s name mentioned by ‘guests’ in passing.
Various evil acts and bad rumors being carried out by ‘Alyssa Leipert’, who is not herself.
That made it even more difficult for Alyssa.
‘No!! Alyssa Leipert is me!! ‘It’s me!!’
Even if she shouts like that, no one listens to Alyssa.
“Viscount Ray Furt is also in trouble. Her daughter is causing trouble again, right?”
“The worry hasn’t left the Viscount’s face these days. Is this why it’s wrong to accept a child born from a relationship with a commoner whose origins I don’t know?”
I could also hear stories about my father from ‘customers’ of higher status.
Viscount Leipert, a father who is in trouble because of himself and not his own worries.
‘Father…’
Alyssa’s heart felt like it would break.
Then one day it happened.
When Alyssa was resting after crying, someone came into the building where Alyssa lived.
It was a woman’s voice.
“Do you know about Alyssa Leifert?”
The woman went back and forth asking her questions about Alyssa Leifert.
Of course, the name Alyssa Leifert is famous for its bad connotations.
So, there were negative rumors spreading about Alyssa from those who lived together.
And the owner of that voice also came to Alyssa.
“What do you know about Alyssa Leifert?”
“…!!…!!!”
Alyssa shouted to the woman who came to her.
I am Alyssa Leifert, and the person outside is not me.
But that cry never came out in voice.
“…You.”
The owner of the voice sounded slightly surprised and stood up.
“I will come back.”
She left those words and the owner of the voice left.
I will come again. Why do you want to come back?
I’m not sure, but Alyssa was exhausted and lay down again.
She closed her eyes.
Her mother and father appeared in her dreams.
For the first time in a while, it was possible to have a happy dream.
And then, Alyssa woke up.
The owner of the voice who said he would come back appeared next to her.
It seemed like someone had come with her.
“Now…Calm down.”
A very warm voice.
She felt as if she was face to face with her mother, whom she had met in her dreams.
“Look straight at me.”
That day, a goddess came to Alyssa’s side.
