My Fiancé Fell in Love with My Older Sister. After Locking Myself in My Room for Five Days, 500 Years Had Passed. - Chapter 14

My bad feeling was right.

When I turned around, I saw my sister, who had been at the center of the conversation earlier.

She must have run here. She was out of breath.

Her shoulders moved up and down as she panted, and her cheeks were flushed red.

…Déjà vu?

I feel like this has happened before…

As I stared off into the distance, my sister spoke in a hoarse voice.

“Felicia… Please, listen to me. I… I…!?”

“Sister… This is not the place for this. Let’s go back to the mansion, okay?”

This was the hallway of the royal castle.

There weren’t many people around since we were in the royal family’s private area, but there was still a chance that Felix could pass by.

The Royal Garden, where Felix and I had been, was at the far end of the northern corridor on the first floor.

And right now, we were at the border between the royal family’s private area and the public area on the second floor.

If Felix happened to show up here…

It wouldn’t be hard to imagine this turning into a complicated mess, just like last time.

And below us was a long staircase.

If my sister lost her balance and fell—

The terrible thought flashed through my mind, making me shiver.

(I need to get my sister somewhere safe first…)

If other nobles saw us fighting, who knew what kind of rumors they would start?

Headache after headache was rushing toward me at full speed.

Please, spare me.

I almost sighed out loud.

Deciding to take my sister to the carriage stop, I gently placed a hand on her back to guide her forward.

But then—

Slap.

A sharp sound rang out.

My sister, though weak, had shaken off my hand.

Her voice trembled as she spoke.

“What did you talk about with Felix…!? Tell me, Felicia…!!”

Tears, like clear crystals, fell from her eyes as she looked at me with pain.

(…Felix, huh…)

I had noticed it before.

Had my sister forgotten?

Even if she was Felix’s fated one…

Right now, his fiancée was still me.

It wasn’t jealousy.

It was just that… it felt like my existence didn’t matter at all.

(…Everyone is so selfish.)

My sister was desperate for love.

Felix was obsessed with protecting his love.

Father only cared about my sister.

Mother only thought about herself.

(Everyone only thinks about themselves…)

Why was I the only one who had to keep working so hard in this kind of environment?

As I was about to give up thinking about it, my sister sobbed loudly.

Sighing, I reached out to rub her back.

“Please, calm down. It’s not good for your health—”

But I couldn’t finish my sentence.

My sister forcefully slapped my hand away.

“Shut up…!! Shut up, shut up!!”

Her sweet voice rang through the air.

But since her voice was naturally soft, even her screams sounded small.

Even so, she kept shouting, her tear-filled eyes glaring at me.

“You’re so lucky, Felicia…! You get to marry the person you love! You get to be his first wife! You have a healthy body, and you have both Father and Mother…!!”

My eyes widened in shock.

She continued to cry as she accused me.

“It’s not fair. It’s not fair, Felicia…!!”

“Sister…”

I didn’t know what to say.

This was the first time I had seen her so out of control, shouting like this.

It took me a moment to even understand what she meant.

And that delay—

Was my mistake.

“You… You should lose everything too…!!”

Her frail voice cracked.

Sobbing, my sister used all her strength—

To push me.

I lost my balance, stumbling—

And the next step I took found nothing but air.

“…Huh?”

I remembered.

The long staircase.

I had wanted to lead my sister away from here, afraid that she might fall.

But instead—

Now, I was the one—

(—falling!!)

My eyes widened.

In my blurry vision, I could still see my sister, crying.

I reached out, instinctively.

But my hand grabbed nothing.

I felt my body float for a moment—

Then, I fell backward.
