VOLUME 1: A DAILY LIFE LIKE CINDERELLA
CHAPTER 6 - Ubel and Jillke's Scheme
Why does Jillke react at that moment? It's hard to understand. It's true that Lyacobe, who is her mother, became my father's second wife. So, Jillke is indeed my brother's sister. However, my brother has only seen Jillke for the first time during this vacation period. There's no way she could be the beautiful sister he was referring to.
Ubel must have taken a liking for Jillke. From earlier, he has been sending meaningful glances her way. In the prophetic dreams, they must have had secret meetings, deepening their love.
"No, she’s not the sister, the one over there is my sister."
Ubel opens his eyes wide upon seeing me in a maid outfit. It's not surprising; a noble daughter dressed as a maid is unheard of.
"Huh, why is you-,your sister, dressed like a servant?"
"It seems she's learning etiquette. I don't know much about it."
"Etiquette learning? Like that?"
My brother seems to have questioned it, but he is easily fooled by Lyacobe's words of "It's normal to work like a maid."
"Then, come over here, let's talk a bit—"
"No!"
Jillke snatches Ubel's outstretched hand for some reason.
"Elusia is busy learning etiquette. It would be bad to disturb her."
That's Jillke's usual bad habit. She wants anything and everything I have.
A truly troublesome child...
I almost thought that, and then it suddenly struck me.
If I let Jillke snatch Ubel away from me, she would go all out to make him hers, the more I cling to him. So, I should let her take Ubel.
The more I cherish him, the more seriously Jillke will try to make Ubel hers.
In my prophetic dreams, I did celebrate my marriage to Ubel, but I hadn't shown that attitude. It's embarrassing to bare emotions in front of others. Therefore, Jillke probably didn't show much interest in my marriage to Ubel.
I want to avoid marrying him if possible. However, just that won't save me from the fate of being killed.
Jillke sits next to Ubel and leans against him. Seeing this, my brother, unusually critical, speaks up.
"No, Jillke, you can't marry Ubel because you don't have our father's blood."
Noble marriages are also a blood pact. By joining hands with relatives, further development is achieved. Introducing an adopted child into this would lead to chaos.
Therefore, political marriages are allowed only within direct bloodlines.
"Jillke, should I introduce you to Klaus? He's the nephew of the Schwert Grand Duke, you know?"
The moment I hear that, I have a brilliant idea.
If I marry Klaus, the future Schwert Grand Duke, I could secure a safe place.
Even if it's Ubel, he won't be able to take me back to his family. I have to find a way to meet Klaus and propose to him. It was a moment when light shone into the previously pitch-dark future.
"No! I prefer Ubel!"
"Well, even if you say that—"
Thinking this is the moment, I make my declaration.
"My dear brother, I shall marry Ubel."
As soon as I say this, Jillke's eyes sparkle with malice. It looks like a restraining gesture, saying not to steal her prize.
"Elusia is horrible! She always bullies me! She stole my dresses, told the servants to exclude me, and showered me with insults every single day!"
All of those are actions Jillke has committed against me. I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude .
Ubel hugs Jillke's shoulder and looks at my brother with concern.
"Is your sister okay? She's certainly beautiful, but her personality is too awful."
"Well, she wasn't like this before..."
Jillke starts to feign crying.
"They always bully me because of my low birth!"
Ubel says, "That's terrible," and I almost nod in agreement.
At this rate, Jillke might not be satisfied so I decide to put on a little act.
"I have never bullied Jillke! Although I've extended a helping hand, thinking it was for her own good."
I kneel on the floor, staring at my brother and Ubel as if pleading.
However, everyone's gaze is frigid.
Ubel, with a look of contempt, speaks disdainfully.
"You must have harmed her, fearing for your position when you got a sister. She's a hopeless woman."
"Elusia, I thought you were a sensible sister, but I was mistaken."
I have no intention of meeting the expectations of Ubel and my brother. If they think I'm not even worth using, it's more than fine.
"Elusia, step back. We'll cancel the introduction to Ubel."
“N-no!"
My brother orders the maids to take me away like a criminal.
Dragged away by both arms, I leave the room.
In a deliberately dramatic manner, I shout Ubel's name.
I hope it sounds full of longing.
