The Saint is Not My Sister, The Real Saint is Me - Episode 53

“Stop making misleading statements. I’ve never embraced you.”

“You don’t have to lie anymore, Lord Rein. I’ve divorced Lord Luki. There’s no need to hide our relationship anymore.”

“…You’re not making any sense.”

“Lord Rein, you’re not Yuna’s fiancé—you’re mine. After all, you proposed to me, didn’t you? And I accepted.”

Emil’s blatantly false declaration sent murmurs of confusion through the surrounding nobles.

“Yuna, I’m sorry… but Lord Rein and I have been in love for a very, very long time!”

“What are you talking about? That’s impossible.”

It was obvious that nothing Emil was saying was true—I knew that.
Every word she spoke was a lie, yet she said it with such conviction that it almost seemed like she truly believed it herself.

“I understand that it may be hard to believe, but it’s the truth. You forced me to marry Luki, Yuna, which is why Rein and I couldn’t officially be engaged until now. But all this time, we’ve been secretly in love.”

I forced Emil to marry Luki?

It was Emil who stole Luki from me—how dare she twist the truth like this? How shameless can she be?

“But now that I’m divorced, nothing stands in our way! All you have to do, Yuna, is let go of Rein! You will, won’t you? You’d give your fiancé to your beloved little sister, right? I love you, Yuna.”

Once again, Emil was trying to take everything from me under the guise of love. She never changes.

“I would never hand him over. And besides, the idea that you and Rein were in love is nothing but a—”

“No, what Emil says is true.”

“! Luki…?”

“Yuna asked me to step in and separate Rein and Emil, forcing Emil into an engagement with me. Even after that, I saw with my own eyes that they remained in love.”

Luki didn’t just help Emil get into this hall—he was actively supporting her lies in an attempt to break off my engagement with Rein.

He must have realized his own reputation was beyond saving, so now he was trying to drag Rein down into ruin with him.

“I may be called a false saint now, but Lord Rein loved me not as the Saint of Kotokoris, but as myself. Our love is true!”

“Yes! Rein betrayed you all along, Yuna. He is just as guilty as I am!”

Hearing Emil weave her absurd fairytale into something resembling reality—watching Luki go along with it—it was utterly revolting.

To think these two were once my sister and fiancé… I felt nothing but disgust.

“I’ve never felt this way about anyone but Yuna. Lord Rein, I love you.”

With those words, Emil rushed forward, aiming to throw herself into Rein’s arms.

She must have believed that the hall, filled with onlookers, would erupt in cheers, celebrating the long-lost lovers finally overcoming all obstacles.
She truly thought this moment would be a joyous one—
But reality would never be so kind to her.

If you want to fall into hell, Emil, take Luki with you.

“Ah! What? Let go of me!”

Before she could reach Rein, the servants of House Shainacle restrained her.

“My, my, you’ve really done as you pleased, haven’t you?”

The hostess of this banquet, Lady Mimosa, finally appeared, her smile concealing her simmering anger.

“Lady Mimosa! Why are you doing this to me?! We were family once!”

“It is a disgrace to House Shainacle that you were ever my sister-in-law, even for a moment.”

Having been busy managing the banquet, Mimosa had taken some time to grasp the full situation. Once she understood everything, she bowed slightly to apologize for the delay in restoring order.

“I had ensured that no unwelcome guests could enter, but to think that Luki would help Emil get in… Brother, are you really so eager to provoke me?”

Luki flinched under the weight of Mimosa’s cold, furious gaze.

“Please, don’t stand in the way of our love, Lady Mimosa! As Rein’s dear friend, you should prioritize his happiness!”

“And after careful consideration, I’ve concluded that Rein’s happiness depends on Lady Yuna. There is no way he could ever be happy with a delusional woman like you.”

“Wha—!”

Did you seriously think anyone would believe a word you said? Sure, people were confused at first when you started spewing nonsense, but no one actually bought into your ridiculous claims.

“No! Rein and I truly love each other! He loves me!”

“You’re delusional.”

“That’s not true!”

“As Mimosa said, I don’t love you. In fact, I despise you. The only one I love is Yuna.”

“Lord Rein…”
