Chapter 33

Ellie was afraid.

It was as if her older sister had just left her side. The child stroked Marie's hand, which had become rough from her hard life, over and over again.

She is the older sister who changed one day. Marie thought the child would follow her sister who changed overnight, as the child was starved for love, but she didn't.

Ellie felt it. Her sister changed in an instant. The child, who was always anxious about whether she would be abandoned, was keenly aware of everything.

Still, at first, she didn't really think that someone else had taken over her sister's body. And a day passed and two days passed.

The things her sister did for her increased. Ellie was happy but sad at the same time. She didn't know why. It felt as if something was squeezing and pressing her on one side of her chest.

She saw her older sister walking around without her brooch, which she loved so much. So, she had asked her sister.

[ "Sister, why aren't you wearing a brooch these days?" ]

[ "The young master may be stabbed or injured." ]

[ "I think sister really likes the young master." ]

[ "Of course, sister likes Ellie and Barry, and also likes Young Master Brielle." ]

Lies.

Her sister has always been like that. She said herself that the young master was only a means of earning money. She would come home and shout on difficult days, saying that if their family had not been destroyed, she would have been called a young lady and would be living like that.

Marie was furious.

But, as Ellie said it was a lie, her sister was smiling so happily. Her sister's eyes that gazed at her were so warm and her heart softened.

She suddenly thought of that.

Is it really my sister? Her older sister had abandoned her... it was as if she had been replaced by an angel who came down from heaven.

Ellie was at the age she believed she could even talk to plants, so of course, she believed in angels, too.

A year passed, two years passed, and time passed.

It didn't matter who she was now. Just that Marie was her own older sister. She was just her family...

Whenever her sister glanced out the window or looked up at the sky with a sad expression on her face, Ellie's heart pounded and she held her hand tightly.

Marie's hands, which became rough because she raised herself, were painful and beautiful.

The little girl was afraid. She thought that her sister might disappear while she was away. Ellie sometimes feared that her sister might be in her own imagination, so she couldn't help it. It was an eternally incurable pain in the child's heart.

"Sister..."

A small voice rang through the room and disappeared.

"Don't go."

Tears running down the child's cheeks became dots and fell on the back of Marie's hand.

Kentrail could hear the agonizing sound outside the door. It was as if it was overlapping with the sound of himself calling out to his brother in his dream.
