Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

The Crown Prince’s birthday party. It was the day I fell in love with Damian at first sight in my previous life. It was exactly a month since I returned to the age of 20 after I died at his hands.

It took me 3 hours to prepare myself for the banquet. It was quite a long preparation to attend a banquet at the Imperial Palace. And Sasha was very excited.

“My lady, you must be the main character for today’s banquet!”

“…”

“You’re so beautiful. I really envy the person who will dance with you.”

Sasha looked at me with a face like a girl in love. I laughed at the appearance of Sasha when her cheeks flushed and her hands neatly put together.

My reflection in the mirror looked very beautiful. The platinum-colored hair that reached the waist was more shiny than usual, I’m wearing purple earrings that resembled the color of Casadine’s eyes.

“Do you like the dress, Miss?”

I saw the dress I was wearing. It was a blue dress with an impressive neckline. The clear blue dress reminded me of the blue rose that Casadine said resembled me.

“Yes, I like it.”

Suddenly, I wonder what kind of clothes Casadine is wearing.

I opened the door and saw Casadine had finished preparing. He leaned slightly against the wall, staring into the empty space with a face full of concern.

As soon as I saw him in a black uniform, I realized that the main character of today’s banquet will be Casadine, neither the Crown Prince nor me.

“Casadine.”

Casadine’s eyes turned at me as I called him. When our eyes met, his eyes shook greatly.

“Sister.”

Casadine approached me without taking his gaze off me, then he took my hand and said softly.

“For a moment, I thought an angel came down from heaven.”

Instead of answering his words, I just laughed. We took the carriage to go to the Imperial Palace.

Before I got into the carriage, I looked up at the sky for a while. The sky was clear without a single cloud. Like that day in my memories.

“Sister.”

Hearing Casadine’s voice, I came back to my senses. I climbed into the carriage while holding his hand and Casadine took a seat beside me as if he was used to it. Even after the carriage departed, he seemed to have no intention to let go of my hand.

“Now you can let go of my hand.”

“Can we hold hands?”

“Why?”

“Because I want to.”

As he said so, Casadine leaned his head against my shoulder. His slightly loose silver hair tickled my neck.

“You smell very good, sister.”

“…”

“I wish time could stop now. If other people see my sister, I don’t think I would be happy.”

Another lies. Where did you learn to say that?

“Casadine, your joke is too much.”

“I’m not kidding.”

“… Why do you keep lying, my younger brother?”

I said that and took my hand away from Casadine’s hand. It was for a moment, but I could feel Cassadine holding his breath.

“Casadine.”

“…”

“I wonder why you only told me lies.”

I turned my head to the scenery outside. On a large hill covered with reeds, I saw children playing with bright smiles on their faces. I added as I watched children who were playing.

“But you won’t explain why as always. I thought… ”

I paused and opened my mouth again.

“Is it purely my greed that I want you to tell me the truth?”

Casadine said nothing. Silence is sometimes the answer. And silence in this situation also meant to admit to himself that he had lied.

“You don’t believe what I said.”

“Is that not, Casadine? When you lie, the corner of your mouth will rise slightly. And your right eyelash trembles softly.”

“…”

“You’re pretty clumsy when you lie.”

At my words, Casadine laughed. A sigh escaped from his mouth.

“What kind of person are you, my sister?”

I shifted the question that he asked me, like he did to me before.

“We’ve arrived at the Imperial Palace.”

As I looked around, I could see the palace shining luxuriously in gold. The Imperial Palace is a place I have visited often since I was a child. It’s also the place where I went in and out of countless times to heal the Royal family while holding my father’s hand.

Those who don’t know that our family has healing powers were envious of me because they think I’m a candidate for the Crown Princess. They spread the rumors everywhere to beat others without knowing the details.

“… we’ve finally arrived.”

Casadine muttered in a soft voice. I grabbed his hand and got off the carriage.

He looked at me with the expression that he had something to say, but when his eyes met mine, he shut his mouth tight.

“Do you have something to say?”

“Just… Because sister is so beautiful.”

It’s bullshit again.

“There are a lot of compliments today. You are beautiful too.”

“… I would be grateful if you said it was cool.”

“Then let’s do something cool.”

I took his hand and stepped into the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace was heavily guarded. It was filled with Imperial knights and people invited to the Imperial Palace.

The palace attendant checking the invitation and glanced at Casadine next to me and coughed.

“Who… Who is accompanying you?”

He even stuttered. I looked around because the attendant do that. It turned out that even the nobles, including knights, were staring at Casadine.

“Who is it that person?”

“Oh my… He’s handsome.”

“He is so handsome.”

The young noblewomen covered their faces with fans and murmured, but my ears could hear it well. I deliberately answered loudly, as if the nobles were asking me to answer.

“This is my younger brother, Casadine.”

“The Count of Sercia… Confirmed. Please come in.”

As soon as I entered the Imperial Palace, the same scenery as in my previous life caught my eyes. A gorgeous chandelier and a statue that resembles a lion was in the middle of the hall. The faces and clothes of the people were the same in my memories. The only difference from that time is I have Casadine next to me.

‘Damian arrived late at today’s banquet.’

I vividly remember the day I fell in love with him. Today I hoped the time would pass quickly in this boring banquet.

[The buzz of people could be heard when I try to take a short breath of outside air because I feel dizzy from drinking wine with high alcohol.

‘Oh my God… It’s Grand Duke Damian!’

‘I only heard rumors…’

‘I heard it’s hard to see his face once because he’s busy.’

‘He’s so handsome!’

Damian, who appeared in the crowd, gently smiled when our eyes met.]

My stupid first love that started like that brought me death.

“Sister.”

At Casadine’s voice calling me, I erased my thoughts and stared at him. He looked at me while smiling brightly and asked.

“Now, you are looking at me.”

“…”

“What are you thinking about?”

“It’s a secret.”

At my answer, he laughed quietly.

At first, the young noble ladies who were laughing in their crowd suddenly came towards me, like a herd of dogs finding their prey.

“Oh! Lady Sercia! It’s been a while.”

“… Nice to meet you, Lady Christine.”

“Oh you remember me. It’s an honor.”

“Of course I remember you.”

Yvelli Christine, a county family like me, renowned for their mines. Her family accumulated wealth through diamond mines. The number of people who were sacrificed to dig their diamond mines was enormous. I was told that there were hundreds of slaves who died in the process. Her family was also the one who spreads ridiculous rumors that my family accumulated wealth through hidden mines in order of hiding that fact.

The reason my family became a target among to many families was because I had something that they didn’t have

“But, who is next to you?”

Yvelli’s eyes gleamed when she saw Casadine who was standing beside me.

Casadine looked at her and opened his mouth to the woman whose cheeks were flushed.

“Hello. I’m Casadine.”

“Oh my gosh. How would his voice be so good?”

The appearance of Yvelli who opened her mouth slightly as her cheeks turned red became a spectacle.

Did I, who fell in love with Damian, look like that to others? I was a little embarrassed when I thought about it.

“This is my younger brother.”

At my words, the eyes of the young ladies, including Yvelli, shone sharply. Even the other young girls who glanced at Casadine from afar approached us.

“Your younger brother?”

“As far as I know, Lady Sercia is the only daughter of the Count.”

“Surely!”

One of the young ladies, who was blushing, clapped her hands with a face that suddenly realized something.

“The reason why you haven’t come out into the social world so far is to take this handsome younger brother alone?”

Why is it like that?

Even if I attended an important banquet involving the Imperial family, I thought it was just a waste of time, so I didn’t go out.

I don’t want to waste my mind on quarrels and end up getting tired.

This is because focusing the mind will take priority when using healing powers. The deeper the wound or the more severe the illness, the more focused my mind should be.

“If there was someone like this, you should have told us.”

“How can you hide such a nice person?”

“How could his skin also look so good?

Perhaps unfortunately or fortunately, they seemed to immediately believe that Casadine was my younger brother.

No, it seemed I want them to believe that.

“Excuse me, but does Casadine have a lover?”

One of the ladies asked that and stood beside Casadine. Those young noble ladies didn’t seem to think that Casadine was a slave. That was fortunate.

“No, I was going to ask him first!”

“Casadine, if you like, I’ll invite you to our mansion… “

“Hey! Don’t cut it.”

Suddenly, those young ladies, including Yvelli, began to start an argument to talk to Casadine. So far, bringing Casadine will attract attention.

“There is no lover, but there is someone I admire.”

Suddenly, when Casadine opened his mouth, the young noblewomen who were staring at him fell silent.

I was a little surprised because it was my first time I heard about it.

Yvelli, opened her eyes wide while biting her lower lip slightly, and asked him.

“Who is she?”

When Yvelli asked straightforwardly, Casadine suddenly strengthened his grip on my hand. When I looked at him with confused face, he smiled at me and laughed.

“The first time she met me, she was wearing a light blue dress that exposed her collarbone. She wore a blue shining sapphire necklace around her neck.”

“Oh my gosh!”

“I couldn’t take my eyes off her. Because she was so beautiful that even avoiding her eyes I would feel guilty. I am sorry for the young ladies, but my heart was completely for her, so there is no room for anyone to enter.”

In response to Casadine’s answer, those young ladies, including Yvelli, sighed repeatedly as if they were disappointed. I was in a strange mood.

‘… Light blue dress with exposed collarbone? A blue sapphire necklace?’

It was the clothes and necklace I wore when I first saw him in the stadium. I looked at him with an expression of ‘no way’.

When I met Casadine’s eyes, his eyes bent really pretty. As soon as we went back to the mansion, I vowed to fix that guy’s clumsy head.

“What’s the name of the person in your heart?”

The situation became very difficult at Casadine’s words. I tightened my grip to Casadine’s hand and gave a silent glance telling him not to speak. Casadine just smiled as if he understood what I meant.

If you want to support me, you can buy me a coffee
