I'm The Useless Daughter
Chapter 1 (Vol.1)
I'm the useless daughter [Part 1]
Volume 1: A Leap Of Fate.
This story was inspired by true events.
In the huge mansion of the Attelair family, known as one of the founders of the magic world organization (MWO) lived a girl.
The Attelair family was also known to birth great witches and wizards.
Mantil had no magic, she couldn't cast spells.
Everyone she knew treated her like she was deadweight and a Normie (human not a witch)
And in a family of greatness, she was a disgrace.
Mantil
It's the last day...
Mantil
Yeah I'm feeling dread too.
Mantil
Don't laugh, I'm the one doing all the work.
Mantil
(I don't feel too bad, although this is the only place I've known all my life.)
Mantil
(I'm not attached to it.)
Mantil
Of course Nino, you're my favorite.
She patted his head before packing her bag close.
No maid was waiting for her, but Mantil made her way to the mansion hall.
Where her mother and younger sister waited.
Her older brother and father weren't present, like always.
Maloris
Well then, do as you're told when you get there, I'll send a messenger tomorrow for your opinion.
Maloris
Cheer up Moiréa, I'm sure it will be fine.
Her mother gave her an elegant smile. Cold. Calling her by a word that didn't belong to her.
Mantil
(I would have been happier if she had just kicked me out.)
Mantil
(But she wants to sell me off...)
Maloris
You'll be a fantastic bride for Sir Dane.
Maloris
Well then, Moiréa, I'll take your stuff in advance, you'll find them there once you arrive.
Mantil
(Why do I have to be treated this way?)
Mantil
(She won't even call me by name, who knows what kind of insult Moiréa is.)
Mantil
(All this time I tried to live quietly.)
Mantil
(I took the darkest most isolated room, I behaved like I was dead but now they—)
They all looked at Nino who miowed and rubbed against Mantil's leg.
Maloris
Will you be taking that with you..?
Mantil
It's my familiar, of course I'm taking it with me.
Maloris nodded and walked out to welcome the guard who had come to get Mantil.
The two sisters faced each other.
Elen
You're not a witch, how about you give it to someone who deserves it?
Mantil
*clenches her fist*
Elen
No matter, it's as weak and useless as you.
Mantil
(I'll have to leave anyway, she can say whatever about me but not Nino.)
Mantil
You'll never understand what I feel nor will you understand how important he is.
Elen trembled with anger as Mantil spoke again.
Mantil
We're completely different and I'm glad.
In fact Elen was a very powerful witch who had managed to get 3 familiars.
From the beginning, if Mantil lacked in something Elen would have it.
Power, love, magic, anything.
She was the embodiment of the Attelair family.
A prodigy with her brother.
But there was one thing Mantil could never lack.
And that was her love for Nino.
Mantil
I'd never want to be you.
Mantil
No matter how hard you work you'll never get father's approval. So I'm happy that doesn't matter to me anymore.
Mantil
Since I already have a family I love and who loves me.
Elen
You know nothing!! You're just jealous because I'm better than you!!!
Elen
I'm embarrassed to even call you my older sister!!!!
Mantil
Don't worry I'm good...
[All because of that "incident"]
Mantil
(I thought I didn't care anymore...)
Mantil
(Knowing that you once looked at me so brilliantly...)
Mantil
(Before knowing I was worthless.)

Chapter 2 (Vol.1)
A military base with ties to the magic world organization (MWO)
And soon to the Attelair family.
The man she had the fake "option" to marry was a high captain of the base.
Mantil
(This is it, I've never been outside the mansion but...)
Mantil
(It's not so bad the sun is pretty.)
Nino miowed as a tall broad man stood in front of her and a few servants bowed.
He looked rough but steady.
Dane
You must be Lady Mantil of house Attelair?
Mantil
(I'm not used to this...is the skin of another supposed to feel so cold..?)
Mantil
My familiar, don't worry he's nice.
Mantil
(Some familiars can be aggressive, it depends on the owner but sometimes they do as they like.)
The servants didn't dare to move as he led her inside.
Mantil
Must be difficult to deal with so many people on your own.
Mantil
(I saw the army of men at the base and now the servants, it seems he doesn't have many family members judging by the paintings....)
Dane
After our marriage, you'll also live here and take care of the house for me.
They stooped walking and stared.
Mantil
I think it's too forward.
Mantil
I'm not sure of this marriage sir, this place is a little....
Mantil
(And you seem like you have a different coldness than my family.)
Dane
I was thinking I should be polite but.
Dane
You are here as trash.
Dane
Your family didn't want to deal with you so they sent you here.
Dane
What do you think you are?
Mantil
.....(It's fine...it's fine...)
Dane
A witch without magic seriously.....
Dane lifted his leg to kick Nino but Mantil pushed him away before the hit.
Mantil
(I— he could've killed him!! No— he wanted to kill him!?—)
Mantil didn't realize it was happening till it happened.
For a moment it was as if time had stopped to redecule her, the servants who saw turned their backs to her.
Dane
You have no support, at this point you're just asking for it.
Dane
I guess I should thank you....
Dane
If you hadn't been born uselles you wouldn't have been sent here and I would've lost my chance at tying house Vella with the witch house Attelair.
He walked away leaving her on the floor.
She was bent down holding Nino tightly in her arms because she knew if she let go he would go after Dane and get himself killed.
Mantil
(Please, please come fast tomorrow and plese....)
Mantil
(Please Mother send that messenger quickly...I swear you'll never see me bothering you again.)
Mantil
(I'll never, never bother anyone again.)
Mantil
(I'll never ask to be loved, or hope to have more....)
Mantil
(Just please get me out of here.)

Chapter 3 (Vol.1)
One week of cold mistreatment done on purpose so she'd flinch when she saw him.
But that wasn't why she was starting to break.
It was that her mother hadn't sent her help, not a letter, not a messenger as she had promised.
Or maybe it was all a lie from the start.
Mantil
(I knew deep down, I should have known.)
Even the letters she sent received no answer.
Mantil
Was I thinking too much?
Mantil
If it wasn't for you I don't know what would've been of me.
From the moment she received him, he was her only anchor.
The first and last gift her mother had given her, when the family still had hope she was a hidden talent.
Although he was also the start of the "Incident"
Mantil
Well, if it will be like this I should find a way to get out of here.
Mantil
(Especially for Nino...)
The pain in her heart came back when she picked one of her unanswered letters.
Mantil
Am I really her daughter?
Mantil
Even if I'm useless can't she at least read them? What do you think Nino? You think she did?
Mantil
Yeh she definitely just decided I wasn't worth it.
Mantil was looked down upon, she started cleaning which made the servaints gossip.
But Mantil didn't care because all she needed was to learn the layout of the place.
Nino followed her everywhere.
A few days later 2 guests arrived.
One was a man working for Dane closely, the other was a woman.
Dane
Sister make yourself comfortable.
Sierra
A new maid? Why didn't you inform me—
Dane
She's the eldest daughter of house Attelair.
Sierra
*laughs* She really seems as people say, you're doing well making her work a little, who knows maybe she can be useful for once.
Mantil
(I'm doing this on my own but think whatever you want.)
She flinched hearing his voice, and to that, Sierra snickered.
Mantil
I'll bring some tea.
Mantil disappeared behind the door, but instead of going she left the door just open enough so she could hear.
Togo
Sir I've done as you asked, all the letters have been burned.
Togo
And I've checked for the plans of the magic world organization, it seems what we thought is true.
Sierra
Brother you have such bad luck.
Sierra
You got the powerless one, if you had the younger sister it would've been easy to infiltrate the system.
Sierra
And she could've been a candidate.
Mantil couldn't hear, not after the first sentence.
Mantil
(They didn't reach mother? They burned them?...)
Mantil
(I don't know why....but I feel relieved...maybe, maybe she didn't abandon me.)
Sierra
You need her to do everything you say.
Sierra
You have to break her.
Togo
We don't have much time someone might catch on the state of the MWO before us.
Sierra
Take what's most precious to her, she'll become a puppet then.
Her heart skipped a beat, her hands shaking.
Nino was already rubbing on her ankle, but the words kept ringing in her head
Kill Nino. Take her everything.
Mantil
We're getting out of here. Now.
