It's really hard to read, but here's what happened in 6 chapters: Herace is a daughter of viscount. She hates her embroidery lessons (she has them 3 times a week), so when her dad suggested to skip the lessons and instead become a friend of a young master of their dead sovereign, duke, she accepted. Parents of Zenon, the young master, are dead, and his uncle, the marquis, took advantage of the situation and inherited (?) the duke's title. Zenon is living in old residence, and it's managed quite well, but he is neglected. Only the loyal vassals of his dead parents are sending their children to play with Zenon. So when Herace first came to Zenon, he was in the garden, playing with other children. It's really hilarious, he made them run around while throwing mana balls in them, and if mana ball hits a child, Zenon lifts them into the sky and they are flying around there. The last child on the ground will be gifted with gems or other valuables. All while Zenon just sits on the stone with bored face. Herace said that the game is stupid, her games are better so she would rather leave, which she did Internally she was terrified by the game though The next day her father came to her saying that Zenon requested to meet her again, but she didn't want to, so after some negotiations she came to Zenon again. He requested her to come to his room and show him her 'better' games. At first Herace decided to tell him stories that are non-existent in this world, thinking she would be like a Scheherazade from 1001 Arabian Nights, but he was bored Then she remembered the game when you need to draw a person in a opposite way (like draw a smile on their face if the person is usually gloomy). So she ended up with an ugly version of him, but he drew amazing portrait of her that emphasized her beauty. She was pleased and said he didn't get the meaning of the game, but he replied that he did exactly what she told him So when he wanted to see her drawing, she was really embarrassed and in the end threw it at him and run away. On the next day he sent her portrait to her family
chapters 7-10: Herace has a friend, Isaac. He has a gentle good boy personality (and he is secretly in love with Herace). Isaac visits her in chapter 6, and Herace complaints about Zenon. Isaac suggests to go with her, then he sends a letter to Zenon mansion and officially asks permission to visit him. After he receives a positive reply, they both go to Zenon. They were left to wait in the drawing room for a long time, but then Zenon comes smiling and calling Herace's name. And he sees Isaac and his smile fades. Isaac stands up to introduce himself. Seeing that Issac came with Herace + he is taller then Zenon, Zenon becomes quite angry and suggests to play a game with Isaac. Herace tried to stop them but Isaac said it's fine since Zenon didn't expect to see Isaac (it seems that Zenon automatically approved Isaac's visit without a thought while doing something else). Zenon suggest hunting and the winner will be decided by the size of the prey. So almost at the start Zenon shoots an eagle as large as upper body of an adult man. Isaac shoots a young boar (bigger than the bird). But then mommy boar appears and Isaac falls from his horse and sprains a leg. Herace rushed to him looking worried, Isaac blushed and Zenon's expression was cold. Zenon run away, Isaac was treated by a doctor and after that Herace told him that she left her notebook in the room earlier and she need to find it herself cause it's valuable item to her, so she sends him off. Maids help Herace to find Zenon, he is in the labyrinth. At the entrance she sees a mana fish and follows her to the center of the labyrinth, where Zenon sits at the fountain and plays with water with his mana. He shows her some tricks with mana and it's beautiful and Herace is amazed and asks my he is using such beautiful power to scare people, and that seeing great views together make people feel closer. He then asks if she feels close to him now and she says yes. They watch it for a long time and at the end of the day both agree that time flew by and it was enjoyable. When Herace visits the mansion again, guards stop her carriage and tell her that Zenon doesn't want to see her today. She is angry, thinking how good they spend time last time and she thought that they became closer, and now he sends her off. So she decides to snick in. All guards are searching for her and she was once spotted by a maid, but she pretended that she didn't see her. When Herace successfully reached Zenon's room, he didn't answer her, so she just walked in and found him in bed sick. The humidity in the room was really high. Zenon got worse and grabbed his chest which caused a bell to ring (rope was tighten to his wrist) so doctor soon came. He told Herace that Zenon was in a good mood and waited for Herace to come, but suddenly his condition got worse and he ordered to reject her visit. Then Zenon woke up and saw Herace, she came closer and he weakly caught her hand. Sooo you know how the novel description says that Herace was possessed? That night she has a dream where she remembered a game about princess she played: Spoiler: Herace's dream There was a favorite CD game at that time, and it was a nurturing game that raised a fairy girl named Siena Sales as the crown princess of the human world. The title is Princess Siena. They embroider a 10-year-old fairy girl, make her tea ceremony, and raise various stats, and finally have a princess or other job at the age of 18 to watch the ending. When I played the game, I liked to collect endings without looking at the attack. Starting with the princess, which is said to be the most difficult, teachers, miners, farmers, musicians, ministers, merchants, nobles, etc. It was some kind of duke that made it most difficult to watch the 18-year-old Princess Ending of Siena Salez. Was he the sub-character? Not at all. He was a man in his 40s with a mustache and was able to become a villain thanks to his brother's lucky death and where he got his magic tools. "I'll get rid of you and the prince." I had to meet him to see the princess ending. Why did I think of that game? For Herace, the gray pale stone painting held by the duke on the game screen came strangely large.
I just started reading this novel. Reading from comments, later on the story seems to get messy and boring. So random spoiler. Confucius = son of the duke. Spoiler: unedited - c11 "miss!" Ugh. Hereis, who was drowning in the world of sleep, barely opened his eyes and was bewildered to see the three maids surrounding him. “Why is everyone like this?” “Lady, you woke up in one day!” "Yes?" “He said he just came back from Langbert’s mansion and slept all day.” "I?" Rubbing her eyes and getting her body up, I found that Viscount Lorca's own room was exactly what they had said. Her hair was messy, and her eyes were heavy with the mucus that was firmly attached. “The doctor said there was nothing wrong with her body, but she wouldn't wake up, so it's usually something to be worried about. The master and the wife were also very worried.” “Mom and Dad?” “Madam went out for a while, and Lina went to call the master.” As soon as her maid said so, her father stormed into her room. “Hereis!” "dad." “Why did you sleep so much? Her mother continued to worry.” She spoke as if she didn't really care. He Ray listened to his blunt father's speech and smiled inwardly, pretending to be indifferent and raising his head. “I can remember even caring for Confucius at Langbert’s mansion… … .” “Your little master got sick, so you took care of yourself? You don't have to, sweetheart." Hereis reflected on what had happened yesterday. Unlike Zeno who told me to go, he held my hand. Does that mean that you shouldn't go even if you did? He insisted on the person he didn't like, so he came and took care of himself because he couldn't leave without checking that he was sick. I can even remember looking at Zeno's sleeping face in lieu of changing towels or wiping sweat, which were originally the duties of maids. But at some point I fell asleep and when I opened my eyes, I was in my own room. “The pain of the little master is not something that can be divided by sharing.” “That’s the word.” Still, Hereace had doubts about Xenon. I don't know if it's a question to ask as soon as I wake up, but I've been curious about it since yesterday. “Confucius had a doctor attached to him. Why don't you use a healing wizard?" “… … That's because the little master can't get magic treatment." “Why?” Although magic therapy is not very popular, it was not unfamiliar to Hereis, and if he was a noble or had a lot of money, it was a benefit that he could receive. But Xenon, the master of Lineric, insists on becoming a general doctor? It couldn't have been weird. When the father hesitated to answer, the maids noticed, bowed their heads and left the room. Even after the maids left, my father lowered his voice to answer. “It’s because the small master’s vessel cannot handle the mana inside.” “He can't handle mana, what do you mean?” “It is because of mana that it hurts like this, because it will be difficult to bear if you inject mana again. I'm not a wizard either, so I don't know the details." When his father expressed his displeasure, Hereace stopped asking questions and remembered Zeno, who was receiving meaningless treatment. He looked in pain. ‘Mana?’ The only thing Xenon has used mana lately is the splendid fountain show he showed Herais two days ago. ‘The bowl doesn’t hold the mana?’ If it was because he had exerted too much force, then Zeno could not have known the pain he was going through that day. Why did he show him a beautiful landscape even though he knew it? It was unknown. “Dad, Confucius used magic for me.” "Magic?" “Show me how to use mana… … He was so sick the next day.” Father nodded her head, silently watching He Lacey, who frowned as if to reveal something she had done wrong. "like that." “What don’t you say?” As he was sensitive to Zeno's health, his father, who knew how to say anything, had an unexpectedly calm face. “The little master is overusing mana, and the next day he is always ill. Even if you know that, if you have chosen it yourself, I have nothing to say. Hey, it's not your fault." “Why is he even risking his own life to summon his playmates… … ?” “Even if you pretend not to be like that, you still need a lot of attention. Hey, Dad really believes that you can be a good friend of your little master.” It wasn't intentional, but from his first meeting, he was the only one who got mad at Xenon using his mana. was that so? At the next meeting, Zeno wanted to see Herais alone. Moreover, although he was bored, he spent his time listening to stories and painting without using magic. Maybe Zeno thought he had been waiting for someone to dry him. He becomes a real friend on behalf of his deceased family and someone who cares for his life. As He Reis was lost in thought with a serious expression on his face, his father came and placed a hand on He Reis's shoulder. “I have to tell the butler to come get some medicine. No, how about going to the hospital before that?” “A hospital?” “I like playmates, but it’s strange because it’s the first time you’ve slept this long.” Then she smiled and shook her head. “No, Dad. I'm fine.” I just slept for a little while. I think I was immersed in a dream, but I can't remember it well. “It will never happen again.” * * * Friday. After a short day, the Friday, the promised meeting with Zeno, arrived. There was no contact from Langbert's mansion. At this point, good or bad, there was no news at all, like that mansion. I secretly stole the sick Xenon, but I wonder if it's okay to go or if he's still ill. I asked my father about the situation, but he only replied that he did not know. However, Zeno woke up once after that and told his father that he had “disrespected his daughter” and said that he seemed to know that Hee Reis had been there. Herace thought that even if he went to visit or not, Zeno would not blame anything. Even if he didn't visit because he was sorry for hurting his body, he wouldn't blame Hereace the next time we met, and on the contrary, even if he insisted on saying he was sorry for hurting him, he didn't seem to push him out completely like on the day he was sick. So, it was entirely Herais' choice. “Emma.” “Yes, lady.” “I need to see the chef.” “Suddenly?” Unsure of what had happened at her Langbert mansion, her nanny and her servants were preparing her, knowing that Hereis was headed there of course. As she quietly combed her hair and changed her clothes, Rayce opened her tightly closed mouth, telling her that she had to meet her chef in a hurry. “The apple soup I used to make when I was feeling down when I was a kid.” “Ah, that one. If you are still sick, just eat it.” “Tell me to prepare apple soup. In two hours.” “Two hours?” "hurry." Two hours later, it was time to depart for Langbert's mansion. With her solemn face chasing her maid with her stern face, who suddenly puzzled herself that she had to take her food, her nanny shook her head as she watched her head toward the kitchen. She endured painful pulling of her hair in a pretty braid. The Xenon I saw on Wednesday had a bad complexion. Although he had been told that he was usually a sick child, his complexion was never bad, except that his eyes were slightly puffy. It's been a few days since he'd used mana, so he'd be a little better, but he really wanted to feed Xenon the chef's special apple soup. If it was Hereis' greed, it was greed. Hereis' wagon departed a little past the scheduled time as he suddenly told him to prepare the missing soup. The gatekeeper at Langbert's mansion was noticeably delighted to see Hereis' carriage and opened her quick door. And he even added useless remarks. "I'm really sorry about last time, miss. I think there was an error in communication with the mansion management department.” Seeing the gatekeeper who did not say it was an order from the master at the end, Hereis smiled and nodded without saying a word. “I was so nervous at the mansion knowing that he wasn’t coming today… … Oh no. Come on in.” A wagon passed the mansion's front door and Hereis and her maid entered the main building. Today, I had no choice but to accompany her maid, even though it was bothersome to bring soup. “Emma, hand over the soup to the maids here and tell them to come prepare.” “Yes, lady.” While the maid was chatting with the maids of Langbert's mansion, Hereis looked around her mansion, wandering around where Xenon might have been, but the guy was nowhere to be seen. It was the same even when I went to the drawing room, thinking that she might have been quietly waiting in the drawing room. “Lady Lorca!” The butler, who ran late calling for Hereis, who was sneaking around the drawing room, took out a handkerchief and wiped off a cold sweat. “You are here!” “Then you should come. Today is the day you were supposed to come.” “Last Wednesday, congratulations at the mansion… … No, there was a communication problem, so I thought you would misunderstand and not come.” The attitude of the users was somehow pessimistic. Am I representing the owner's point of view here? He Rais shook his head and asked where Zeno was. “Who is more Confucius than that?” The FL realized that the world is based on the game " princess sienna." The villain was duke lenoric who had the magi stone called Xeno'heart. Basically ML died and became the magic tool for his uncle and his uncle became the duke and destroyed the world. (FL thought she was the extra so she was likely going to die.) So FL decided to save the ML since if ML died she would die too.
This got picked up. Spoiler: Link https://www.novelupdates.com/series/how-to-save-a-time-limited-young-master/
The story is not finished yet. The story lacks of romance and fluffs. It is based a lot on the game theme. After 100+ chapters, FL went back to her biological family. Her adopted dad was the villian's servant. He has been monitoring the FL.
