Rachel couldn't believe her ears.
--What did she just say?
"Sister, what did you just say?"
I'm engaged to Samuel Scheidt.
"Is it really your sister?"
Yes, your father introduced us. At first I had my doubts about him because he was a younger boy, but now I'm happy with him. I know he didn't want to get engaged to me, but I can feel his care and tenderness in the letters we exchange.
Smiling happily, Stella looked like a maiden in love.
"-All the sisters again."
Rachel bit her lip as if she wanted to chew it off at the sight of her sister.
"Maybe Lise is the best for Sam, but that's okay. I know from your letter that you care for me. We can't live together yet, but eventually--Rachel? Rachel, what's wrong?"
"...... No, it's nothing. Oh, is that letter from that Samuel Scheidt?"
"Yes, it arrived earlier today. He's a fast learner. I didn't think we could exchange letters so often."
Stella holds the letter she found on the desk with great care.
This gesture also irritated Rachel.
Rachel tries her best not to look so obviously distorted in front of her sister.
She tried to be a sister who listens to her sister's story.
"I didn't know that ...... but she's a very curious one too, isn't she? I'm a little impressed that she accepts her sister who has a bad reputation.
I made a sarcastic remark on purpose, but she never cracked a smile.
"Really. But he's not the kind of person who cares about such trivial things. And I don't care about rumors anymore either.
"--! ......Well, I see, why is that?"
She asks her sister, hiding her upset.
She was a different person from the one who had been upset by petty rumors.
"Rachel has been telling me a lot of rumors because she cares about me, but I don't want to hear any more," she said. Thank you for everything. Now that I know that my father and mother love me very much, I am not afraid of anything anymore.
"...... that's what I was thinking. As a sister, I couldn't be more happy to see your positive attitude.
"Thank you, Rachel. You've been a big part of it."
"Oh, oh-hohohoho, as a sister it is natural to care about your sister."
Rachel said nothing more and turned her back on her sister, not wanting to be here any longer.
"Oh, you're leaving?"
"Yes, I'm afraid I have some business to attend to. I heard that your sister left her room today, so I just wanted to check on her.
"Thank you so much. While I was shut up, only Rachel came to see me.
"-I'm sure your brother Cedric has been in to see you as well."
"That's right. Thank you so much, Cedric and thank you Rachel. Thank you."
You're welcome. Now, if you'll excuse me. Good day to you.
Without looking back at her sister, Rachel left the room.
She walked down a long hallway, returned to her room, and went to her bedroom.
When she reached her bed, Rachel lifted the pillow and slammed it down with all her might.
"What the hell, that woman! I've given you so many bad rumors to keep you cooped up forever! They love you! And you're engaged to that Samuel Scheidt? You're taking what I want again, b*tc*!"
Emotions that I had been holding back from showing in front of my sister explode.
Rachel had always hated Stella.
She hated her sister, who got everything she wanted, as well as their mother's quarrels.
So she deliberately let her know that she was being laughed at behind her back for being an infidel because of her gray hair.
Sometimes, when the nobles got tired of Stella's insinuations, she would offer them something to talk about in order to get them interested again.
Thanks to this, Stella began to withdraw and retreat into her shell.
Rachel enjoyed going to see her sister, pretending to be a caring sister.
But even though she was withdrawn, she still had what she wanted.
The love of her father the king.
People who adored her.
And Samuel Scheidt.
"Of all things, Samuel Scheidt, whom I so longed to have, was Stella's! You've got to be kidding me!"
He repeatedly slammed the pillow down on the floor, but his frustration did not subside.
And so it should have been. Rachel had wanted Sam since the day she saw him and Albert duel.
She had her mother check him out, and when she found out that he was safe enough to be hers, she had just the other day asked her mother for him.
But it was gut-wrenching to think that by that time he had already belonged to his sister.
Rachel was fascinated by Sam's strength.
Rachel has never known another man that strong.
She wanted to make him her own, to bring him to his knees, to have him as her lady-in-waiting.
For the first time, she was willing to give herself to him.
"Your father loves you, and now you want to take away what I want..."
Rachel bit her lip in a jealous rage at the thought of her sister's abomination.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
