The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

71 – {Real Family}

{Real Family}

Everything about Raina was strange.

She was especially fond of the people around her.

‘It’s my first time… ‘

Has she ever experienced being surrounded by such goodwill in her lifetime?

She was always depressed watching William’s accident and the situation of her victims while trying to fix it.

Since she met Theodore and Yuria, she has been clinging to them while receiving favor and affection, and after Theodore is revealed to be her real brother, she herself follows in his footsteps and chooses to be adopted into the Duke of Skyroad. Did.

“Reina~ Call me sister.”

Her It was Judith Skylord who actively approached her, revealing her deepest affection for her.

A beautiful girl with her dazzling blonde hair and bright smile was said to be a year older than her. She

She And she From now on, she was also her own sister, and she seemed strangely fond of hearing the word her sister.

“Huh, sister?”

As I spat out this still awkward word, Judith said, “Hasssss!” He groaned as he grabbed her breasts.

“Haa~ My heart is pounding. Raina, let’s have a good time with her sister. Let’s pick out clothes together, hehehe. Let’s hang out together. Looking forward to it!”

Raina involuntarily flinched at the heat in Judith’s eyes.

She felt as if something were indescribably dangerous.

She didn’t mean to harm herself, but it was a dangerous feeling she had never experienced before.

‘I think he likes me…’ ‘

Evidently, her gaze toward herself was not benevolent, so she was genuinely full of joy and affection.

But she couldn’t understand why she felt this anxiety.

“Brother…brother…cute brother…hehehe…”

She couldn’t hold back her laughter because she was so happy that Judith kept spilling out, and she had a strange feeling that she was so good, but she didn’t hate it.

On the contrary, Reina unknowingly held back the laughter that kept coming out.

“Raina, it might be a little awkward at first, but don’t worry. I’ll help you get used to it right away.”

“Yes, Reina. If you need anything or have a hard time, feel free to tell me.”

Her Duchess of Skyroad was treating her with her kind smile.

It wasn’t that her biological parents, the Duke and Duchess of Artin, didn’t show affection for her, but looking back on her now, it felt somewhat artificial.

In contrast, the Duke and Duchess of Skyroad, unlike the Duke and Duchess Artin, were filled with her sincere affection.

For Raina, this kind of affection itself was very strange.

‘To be able to love me more than my real parents who gave birth to me… ‘

YuRia, who had been looking at Raina happily, approached her with a friendly smile and asked.

“Reina, don’t think too hard. Just accept it for what it is.”

Reina’s mind and body were relieved by Yuria’s words of advice in her kind voice.

“Yes, YuRia unnie.”

I don’t worry about what will happen.

I don’t worry about any accidents.

Reina feels a sense of release that she hadn’t even imagined a while ago, and she wonders if she can feel so peaceful, but to be honest, she’s a little uneasy.

As if this was all just a one night dream…

If I close her eyes and open them, she might wake up in the bed of the Duke of Artin…

‘This is reality.’

However, the warmth she felt from Yuria gently holding her hand made her feel that all of this was real.

* * *

‘Reina, I’m glad.’

As Yuria held Reina’s hand, she felt truly fortunate to see her feeling relieved in her current situation.

Just like Theodore’s example, the Duke of Skyroad would treat her well, loving her as if she were their own daughter.

“I’m back.”

At this point, Theodore returned inside.

Lilia, who had gone out earlier, ran behind Theodore, and she had been waiting for Theodore outside.

Seeing that, Yuria felt emotions she had never felt before.

It was a feeling of pity and, in case, anxiety.

‘Oh.’

Yuria felt that her feelings for Lilia were not as light as she thought.

She cherished and deeply loved her younger sister Lilia as her own sister.

But now, with her feelings for Theodore firmly concluded, she could not yield her place to her.

‘Lilia too… I don’t think I’ll give up.’

I could tell because it was her older sister.

Even if her goal was unrealistic, she never gave up once she had set her goal.

Then it would have been the same for Lilia.

“Did the job go well?”

However, putting her thoughts aside first, Yuria approached Theodore and asked.

She’s coming to warn William Artin. His job must have been well done, but he asked him to confirm.

“Yeah, it ended pretty well, but I think the idiot will climb back up sooner or later.”

She said that she had already warned William Artin, but even after receiving the warning, William went on all kinds of mischief.

Unless you kill him for sure, it will be a headache, but you won’t be able to kill him right away.

‘Prince Theodore wouldn’t feel comfortable if that happened.’

William Artin seemed to have no room for rehabilitation.

But he was also Theodore’s twin brother, and above all, he would care how Reina would accept his death.

William Artine was a person she wished she didn’t have, but he couldn’t deny his blood relationship, so when he died, he couldn’t be certain how she would feel.

Maybe even Reina herself couldn’t be sure.

Even if it’s a blood relative that you usually hate, there are quite a few cases where sadness comes over you because of the lingering lingering lingering feelings when they die.

“Tsk.”

The Duke and Duchess of Skyroad listened to Theodore’s words and lightly clicked their tongues.

In that action, William Artin’s failure to properly listen to the warning contained pathetic feelings and the question of how the Duke and Duchess Artin’s couple had raised their child to that point.

“Father, mother. Why don’t you take Reina to the Sky Road duchy soon?”

Theodore then approached the Duke and Duchess of Skyroad and asked, pointing at Reina.

“Is it because of the Britannian Empire?”

“Yes. The behavior of Duke Artin and his wife is also a problem, but the emperor of the Britannian Empire is sure to be annoyed with Reina.”

They already noticed that Theodore cared for Reina.

That said, it was clear that she would do all sorts of tricks to appease her Reina.

As much as she had seen and learned as the princess of the Arsane duchy, Yuria had predicted that much.

“Brother Theodore.”

And I saw Reina talking to Theodore.

“Yes, Reina.”

Theodore responded with a gentle smile, and Reina asked with a worried expression.

“Your brother Theodore won’t go back with you, will you stay here?”

“I think so.”

“…If you stay here, they will bother you, will you mind?”

Reina’s blue eyes were filled with worry.

Theodore spoke in a friendly voice as he gently stroked her hair.

“That’s fine. And since I have a promise to make here, I can’t leave. But I’ll be back after this school year is over, so could you go home and wait for me?”

“…Yes.”

After hearing Theodore’s words, Reina nodded her head.

And Yuria, who felt what Theodore was talking about, sent a smile of gratitude to him, and he turned his gaze away from Reina, who looked at her as if he noticed her gaze.

It was at the time when she felt ashamed of that gaze and for some reason her face was blushing.

“Yuria, I think it’s going to get noisy here too. Wouldn’t you like to go back to the Arkan Empire with your mother?”

Her own mother, the Duchess of Arsein, suddenly made this invitation to her.

“…Mom.”

When the people of the Duke of Skyroad return to the Arkhan Empire, the people of the Duke of Arsene will also return together.

Yuria felt that the Duchess of Arsein wanted to take her with her.

She said the reason was that she knew that Theodore was the chosen one in the Britannian Empire, so she would bother him so she wouldn’t get caught up in it.

‘Prince Theodore remains because of me.’

Then he would definitely leave, since he would have no reason to be here if he left.

However, I felt regret for the tournament that will start next Friday.

“The Duchess of Arsene.”

Before she could organize her thoughts, Theodore’s voice came from beside her.

At some point, he approached her side and spoke to Duchess Arsein.

“Yes, what happened? Prince Theodore.”

Towards the Duchess Arsene, Theodore spoke politely.

“I would like you to cancel that statement.”

Then she asked Yuria to cancel her invitation to go back together.
