Cordilia gritted her teeth as she was assisted by maids to get her cleaned up. It was uncomfortable, to have others scrubbed you sparkling clean.

"You're so thin but so pale..... Your hair is... Unique... Its beautiful but it lack the care to make it glossy, soft, and silky" Cordilia heard Mama Jin said from her position from the door.

"Uh..... Is that so?" Cordilia looked down and closed her eyes when they gently removed the bandage to clean up her eyes.

"Your eyes would look beautiful.... But it's a strange coloring..... Such a shame... You're a lovely girl" Mama Jin murmured and looked at the girl.

Mama Jin could not help but thought, 'Although she was thin but the girl was incredibly pretty and fragile, like a doll. If she grew up, she'd have lines of people chasing her, that includes human traffickers.'

"When she's done. Dress her up presentable for tonight's dinner" Mama Jin instructed.

Cordilia felt blank. 'Seems being blind has its setbacks?'

Cordilia ended up wearing a powder blue bouffant dress with a navy blue ballerina flats that has a white bow on it. Her silver hair was held with a black headband, her fringes and bangs framed her face. She looked a beautiful porcelain doll, but the bandage around her eyes ruined the image.

Madame Jin was about to comment about the bandage but a mid came over and whispered something. Cordilia, with the help of the System was able to hear it.

'Madame, the girl insisted to wear the bandage, she said it keeps her safe' the made whispered

Everyone seemed to interpret this as a Psychological Reaction from losing her eyes sight. But for Cordilia it's different. She was not confident with her acting yet, and looking into someone's eyes would give them away. It was another window that one an see in their true intention and colors.

The bandage serves a a curtain to cover that window. Scheming as she is, Cordilia thought it was fair.

'After all, to win against a scheming green tea bitch, you have to be more scheming yourself, otherwise you're utterly lose' Cordilia thought

[......] 'Host's mentality is developing. Its heading to the direction where I cannot understand anymore!(ノಠдಠ)ノ︵┻━┻  This isn't how she was years ago! Please give me back my icy, cool, calm, domineering, and awkwardly cute Host (QAQ )!'

Cordilia was quite anxious though. I mean, it is always said that the Protagonist Halo is so blinding and pressuring to normal side characters, cannon fodder, and Villains.

"It's okay, don't be nervous, my boys will definately love you" Madame Jin said reassuringly.

"En" Cordilia nodded

Madame Jin smiled at the adorable little girl.

"So cute" Madame Jin smiled and patted Cordilia's head, while the girls used all her might to not smack the hand away.

"We're home" a series of voice called out from the door way, extremely lively.

"Welcome home. Come in" Madame Jin responded

Series of footsteps could be heard. Cordilia was alert, well the body is tense. Its kind of a natural reaction.

Then a handsome man in his late 30s followed by the sound of 5 sets of footsteps. Cordilia saw them.

The Male Lead was the Eldest, age 15,the youngest was age 11.

'Very... Diligent. One son per year. Madame Jin and Papa Jin, you work really hard. Let me give you a thumbs up' Cordilia thought
