Chapter 13

Marie turned her head slowly at the eerie feeling she had felt before she could even calm down. She had a hunch that the reality of the hand that reached Brielle finally came to him.

She got up from her seat and moved her body towards the window. Then, she stuck to the wall as much as possible and gently opened the curtains. Outside, it started to rain. Marie takes a deep breath and sticks her face out a little more. It seemed like she could see a shadowy figure over the wall. Unfortunately, it was dark, so she couldn't see in detail.

She opened the window, confirming that no one was right under her own room.

Transparent raindrops fell one by one, obstructing her view. Marie took the courage to stick out her face a little more.

She was right. Someone was looking at this place.

Marie was shaking by the window. The feeling of encountering it herself and reading it from the book was completely different. The soft goosebumps climbed up her back and made her head stand upright.

As she grabbed her trembling mouth, she made a quavering voice and called out the invisible opponent.

However, as the rain flowed down, the other person disappeared as the two eyes blinked.

***

"Sister!"

Ellie, much younger than she was now, called Marie.

There were scars on her cheek where she was hit, but Marie was not interested in her sibling. Rather, she looked at the child with a cold gaze and went into her own room.

Ellie, who was standing near, hesitating to approach her sister, looked at the closing door and sighed little with an expression of resignation. It was a sound that didn't match her little mouth at all.

The child was blaming herself for everything, not her sister.

'I'm not doing my sister any good, so it's no wonder she hates me.'

It was too harsh of a thought for a child who wasn't grown properly yet.

She had a small physique and would easily fall or get hurt while playing with the children in the neighborhood, and sometimes even beaten by a son from a wealthy noble family just because she was a fallen noble. However, Ellie never got angry at Marie. Instead, she sometimes tried to hide this because Ellie was afraid she didn't want to be abandoned by her sister. Being abandoned once, it remained as her trauma.

On the day the rain poured down, Ellie stood outside in the cold. She didn't have the key to enter the house so he was shivering while waiting for her older sister and brother, but all day long they did not return.

The aunt next door, who saw her in the rain and suffered from the cold, let Ellie stay in her house for a day. She was talking to her husband without knowing that the child was listening as well. The main content was that Marie would take the money and throw away little Ellie, but only take the useful Barry.

However, the world wasn't easy, and two days later, Marie who had stolen money and valuables, quickly returned with Barry. That caused a hole in Ellie's heart. Even though she was injured, she couldn't say she was hurt because it might bother her sister, so she waited alone to soothe the pain until her brother returned.
