â
My whole body felt like lead. I couldnât come back to my senses.
It was terribly hot and extremely cold at the same time. My eyes were throbbing as my consciousness flickered in and out.
âRubyâŠâ
Someone touched my forehead. I gasped and my eyes opened.
Who was it? There was only one person who did this to me when I was sick.âŠ
âSisterâŠ?â
Blood red eyes entered my blurry view. I thought of my sister. The blood on her thin wristâŠ
âHey⊠hey.â
âRubyâŠ?â
âSister, donât die. Please donât die.â
Long, soft hair touched the tips of my shaking fingers.
Itâs you! Itâs you!
I grabbed her hair desperately and twisted it with my fingers, whimpering, âSister, donât die. I donât want to die alone. So donât go away, sister. Live with me.â
Her comforting touch on my forehead disappeared.
No, donât go!
âDid you do anything dangerous in front of her?â
âNo, I donât think that happened.â
âŠHuh? Isnât that my sister?
That was my mean husbandâs voice, but my sister couldnât be talking to my husband. Ah, I was in a whole different worldâŠ
I was about to turn around, but a hand grabbed my shoulder and made me lie down straight. I was familiar with the scent that entered my nose.
Eh?
âSpâŠâ
A death reaper. A silver-haired death reaper was staring down at me dying.
Ugh!
âSp, spare me. Help meâŠâ
Those blood-red eyes shook a little.
Help me, donât kill me, you son of a b*tch! If youâre the main character, itâll be fine!
I was so angry that tears welled up. I stared hard at him and slapped the standing man on his arm.
âSpare me, save meâŠâ
Why wasnât he listening?
I decided to give up because I felt like my hands were giving it their all. My line of consciousness was cut off again there.
It came back again.
When I opened my eyes, a small palm was patting my face.
âGet well soon, my lady..â
Who was this? Her clear blue-green eyes are pretty.
It reminded me of a little princess I knew. There was no way the princess could visit me, butâŠ
The scenery changed once more as I almost gave up my consciousness to the gentle pats on my face.
The place I was in, the face looking down at me by the bed⊠Was I dreaming?
âWhy are you stuck here?â My sister asked.
Long ginger hair, blue eyes, tanned skin, and soft lips tinted with coral-red lipstick.
It really was her.
âWhy donât you go out and ride a yacht? Itâs summer vacation.â
Every summer vacation, we came down to our family summer house. Where you could see the beautiful lakeside from the window. The sound of my sisterâs friends screaming in excitement was heard even in the room where I laid down.
My sister, who was lighting a cigarette with a giggle, flopped down next to me.
âWhatâs the problem? I donât think my mom or dad told you to stay quiet, and yet youâre here. Are you sick?â
Our parents were traveling abroad with their respective lovers while their children gathered their friends and enjoyed the summer.
I wasnât sick.
But I couldnât tell her that my oldest brother told me to stay here until he came.
My sister often fought with her brothers. I often argued with my parents as well as my brothers. After such a fight, I would hide and hurt myself. So, I couldnât say it.
If I had told her back thenâŠ
Her thin forearms, covered by cigarette smoke, flickered back and forth in front of my eyes like an illusion.
At the end of it, the landscape was erased like a white bubble.
I seemed to have been unconscious for a long time without waking up again in the middle.
Perhaps because of that, when I came back to my senses, I felt as clear and refreshed as ever.
A familiar ceiling came into view.
My bedroom in Omerta CastleâŠ
While sitting up, the memory of the last thing that happened slowly came back. What would happen to me now? Popo and Griffin were probably fine.
It was not like a vicious dragon was picking on themâŠ
âAre you fine?â
I almost jumped up.
As I slowly turned my head, calming my frightened heart, I saw Ellenia, who was sitting upright in a chair on one side of the bedroom, staring at me.
Although she had the same indifferent and expressionless face, I was a little scared because of everything I had done.
She spoke up again, as my mouth became dry, trying to figure out what to say, âIâm sorry.â
ââŠwhat?â
âI didnât mean to push Ruby like that.â
She seemed to be talking about what happened in front of the bathroom.
While I was just staring blankly, Ellenia lowered her eyes a little and looked down at my hand. She seemed to be feeling awkward for some reason.
I was curious, but I guess I should just say it was okay.
âItâs okay, you donât have to worry about itâŠâ
âAs expected, you donât ask anything.â
ââŠâŠâ
âMy mother also had such marks on the back of her hand.â
âOhâŠâ
âShe thinned up a lot, the year before she passed away.â
I didnât know what to say. I kind of guessed it when she pushed me that day, but it was surprising to hear it from Elleniaâs mouth.
I see. SoâŠ
âShe was morbidly obsessed with her appearance⊠I was the only one who knew more about my motherâs bizarre habits. She ate only a few fruits a day and spent half a day on hair care.â
Once again, my mind wandered to my sister. My dead mother-in-law and my sisterâs last moves were too similar.
Of course, Iâd developed a similar habit, but⊠I would never take my own life.
Ellenia, who slightly bit the tip of her lip, raised her eyes again and looked straight into my eyes, âIâve never really understood her so far. JustâŠâ
ââŠâŠ.â
âThanks to you, I think I know a little bit.â
âThanks to meâ, what do you mean?
Did she mean what I had said as an excuse back then, âI can only control my bodyâ ?
âWell, my husband..â
âIâll keep it a secret from him, so donât worry.â
Her cool voice brought relief. It was no good being caught. Aside from the shame.
So, this was a secret between Ellenia and me?
There was a moment of silence. After the momentary pause, Ellenia finally took her eyes off me and raised her body, âPrincess Ari had visited.â
âWhat?â
âShe said she wanted to visit you. She asked me to tell you that she wished for you to get better soon.â
So, that hadnât been a dream? I was amazed and moved that the princess had really come by.
âBy the way, Ruby.â
âYes?â
âDo you happen to have a sister?â
What? What did she mean by âsisterâ all of a sudden? That was in my previous life.
As I tilted my head in confusion, Ellenia quickly shook her head quickly, âNo, never mind⊠Iâll find out sooner or later, but the situation right now is quite chaotic because the dragon, who was asleep, woke up.â
ââŠâŠ.â
âYou donât have to be scared. We knew this would happen someday, so we had prepared thoroughly.â
I see. She didnât look that stress-free. More than that, did Ellenia not know that I was the one who woke up the dragon?
Didnât Izek tell Ellenia? Or was Ellenia trying to test me?
âSo, you should never go around alone for a while. Fortunately, people found you first this time, so you were lucky.âŠ.â
âWhat?â
Ellenia blinked when I asked blankly.
âAs expected, you donât remember. Some of Vigilanteâs guild members found you lying near the forest and were discussing ransom, but how did you end up there?â
âWell, I was sick and IâŠâ
âThatâs enough. But donât ever walk around alone again. Especially near the frost forest, even the well-trained paladins are reluctant to go there alone. Fortunately, you were lucky this time, since the guild members are also not that reliable. Do you understand?â
Soft yet determined, I nodded my head vigorously.
Ellenia seemed to have concluded that I was mentally cornered by the series of events.
She didnât have any idea of what really happened.
Although city guards were turning a blind eye to the private guildsâ work, it would mean that they had contacted the private guild, which was strictly illegal.
In other words, it meant that the Paladins, who found me that day, kept everything a secret, but I didnât know if that was good or not.
Who all were unaware?
