After I thought about all the problems which could trouble after a short ti and their possible solutions - I turned off the shower through the control panel and just after that so vents opened at the floor and ceiling and it sucked away all the fog.
As the fog cleared I found myself standing in front of a mirror, which was a glass wall till now.
It's been a day since I reincarnated in this world but it was only now that I was seeing myself in a mirror.
Since I've seen Rio's mories I wasn't surprised to see soone else's reflection in the mirror. Rio had short white hair and dark black eyes. An oval face with a sharp nose and slightly chubby cheeks which made him look cuter. His height was average for kids his age neither too tall nor short.
Rio didn't have any kind of marks or scars on his whole body which is a far cry from my old one.
Since I used to go for the fight clubs on my work off days or when I had too much stress piling up - there were so scars that would always co out. Then there was my edgy personality and the long scar on my back which that bastard gave .
So overall Rio is probably a little bit more handso and whole than I was on earth.
I got out of the bathroom and was thinking about what to wear when I saw that a new dress was already placed on my bed - which I think was sent by Artemis.
I picked up the suit and went on to get ready , which nearly took half an hour just to do that.
Being soone from earth and born in a middle class family and later on who beca a lazy guy like - I never had to wear fancy clothes like this, and here being a Duke's son I have to maintain Rio's style of appearance and his status as a noble - so I had to put in a little more extra effort.
After getting ready I ca out of my room and saw 2 guards standing there. They were arranged by Artemis herself and tasked to follow while she takes care of her business.
When they saw they bowed their heads, to which I just nodded and then started heading towards the family hall.
Family hall is where everyone's waiting for I guess. From what I've seen in Rio's mories, if his parents were at ho then they'll always eat together .
It was a strange and good thing for cause I don't rember when was the last ti I sat around with my family and had eaten together or just talked normally in that regard.
I walked in the long hallways observing everything about this house .
A guy who lived in a single room for half his life was suddenly placed in this big mansion - you could imagine my Predicant. Now I was feeling glad that I survived that massive headache back then and seen through Rio's mories or I would just get lost in these hallways everyday.

When I finally reached the family hall. As I guessed Artemis and Alia were already present there .
I looked at the Duke's chair which was empty and could guess that he was probably leading the hunt against the Evil Scion's followers till now and probably won't rest till his anger calms down.
When Alia saw coming , she said - "Lazy brother, we've been waiting for so long. I thought you slept back again."
Even though I wasn't sure about Alia and didn't know how I should act around her, just looking at her and seeing her actions would bring a smile to my face.
I shook my head and sat on the empty chair beside her. Rio would always do that unless he wanted to tease her by sitting near Artemis , which would make her angry.
Alia looked towards Artemis and made a proud expression on her face like saying - " See this. I won. "
Artemis wanted to smile at her cute daughter's actions but decided to just play along with her and made a displeased expression, which just made Alia even more happy.
Alia had the expression of being the happiest person alive.
Alia was thinking that today was the best day of her life - though at the beginning she did fell down from bed and it hurt , but then her brother agreed to play with her for 4 hours and now she was sure to take her revenge on Rebecca , plus now she even succeeded in teasing her mama - which is the biggest achievent for her.
I just looked at her and only one thought ca to my mind - she really is just like her.

After I sat down so maids ca and started serving the food on the table. And one thing which I noticed after watching that - was that it was a lot of food - like if it was placed on earth, it could easily work for a class reunion dinner with 15 hungry teenagers who had nothing better to do besides eat and sleep. The maids served the dishes - after that they went back and stood at so distance.
From what I could see on the table and recognize everything prepared today was sothing that the original Rio liked - I looked towards Artemis and she smiled and nodded in response.
My heart felt warm seeing that - it's been a long ti since soone especially did sothing for - well if you remove the gesture of Ali ordering pizza at my room after every ti I call him.
I shook my head and then with my building anticipation I started eating. Just after taking the first bite I was surprised, blown out of my mind. Since I only watched Rio's mories and didn't share any sensations or actually eat anything myself - I didn't know what it would taste like.
From Rio's mories I could understand that food would be different here and tastier with all the mana rich ingredients but I was still surprised.
It was almost the best food I've ever eaten.
And yes I said almost cause Queency knew how to cook too , and no one could beat her. Or maybe that's just my bias since I loved her too much.
I stopped thinking about the past and started focusing on eating everything and trying out all the new dishes - cause my body really did feel weak and hungry.
_
While Rio started eating , Alia was just looking at her brother and as ti went on, a frown started appearing on her face. And soon her previous happy expression started morphing into a pout.
Artemis watched this whole transition and finally couldn't stop herself and a small chuckle escaped her mouth.
Alia looked towards her mama and watched her ' trying hard ' to control her laughter and failing miserably , her anger started rising too. If before she had a cute pouting face, then now she just looked like a fuming red tomato.
Watching this Artemis finally couldn't control herself and started to straight out bursting in laughter while pointing at her daughter.
Even so maids had the expression of smiling too, while so others were trying hard to control their expression and look elsewhere.
_
Hearing her laughing I looked towards Artemis and saw her pointing her finger towards Alia.
I looked towards my side and saw Alia's cute angry face as she continued glaring at and Artemis while crossing her arms on her chest.
It took a mont to understand what was happening and when I did - I could just smile nervously and try to calm her down.
Actually the role of foodie had always been hers, she'll be the first to eat whenever she could, but today she waited for him to co & he just ignored that, and started eating himself.
" Hehe, will you believe if I said I was just teasing you. " I said.
Alia looked towards with a ' surprised expression ' and said - " Ohh so you rember now. I thought I would have to wait till you finish eating everything. "
" I was just checking to see if the food was to your liking or not." I tried to fool her but she was smarter than I thought.
" Haaa liar , you think I didn't see your face when you were gobbling it up. You looked like you would eat everything on the table. " Alia replied as she pointed at my plate - which was filled at the beginning but was half empty now.
I looked towards Artemis hoping to get her help but I saw that she was still eating her food , while looking at us like she was enjoying her favorite tv show.
Now I see why original Rio's mories were filled with so much filler drama - this woman is just enjoying it everyday.
I looked towards Alia and she was still angry. I thought of sothing , then I picked up the spoon and sent it towards Alia's face - " Here eat. "
Alia looked at and said - " Why didn't you do it before, it's late now. "
Hearing her reply a smile ca to my face and I said - " I was only eating faster cause I thought we could go play quickly after that. But it looks like you don't want to play with your big brother now. "
Listening to Alia rembered it and she took the bite from that spoon - "Hmmm I'll forgive you , but only this ti. "
I smiled a little as I saw Alia who started eating from her plate now and then we all focused on finishing our breakfast.
-
This breakfast felt surprisingly good - the food, the taste , the people and the love - they were all sweet. -maybe more sweeter than sothing, soone like deserves.
