CHAPTER 9: THE HEINOUS PRINCESS CONNECTS
Translated by Eunie
Edited/Proofread by Para A few days after, Stayle recovered from his flu. The moment the doctor said he was ok, he immediately returned to his studies with renewed vigour, but despite that, he still goes to me during his breaks. Both of us didn't talk about the day when I visited him when he was sick. Maybe Stayle, who was suffering back then from a high fever, had forgotten about it, and even if that were the case, then it's totally alright. It's not like he could do anything about me apologizing to him, and it's better if he forgets the uselessness of his step-sister. What's more, I was pushing it all too much when I asked a seven-year-old child to 'please kill me.' I knew it; the Pryde in the game still exists inside me. Though it did got awkward, but ever since then, it was me who didn't go to his room anymore, though it's not like I didn't do anything after that. After eating lunch, I still had some time until my next class. So I brought Stayle to Father because there was something he wanted to hand out. "This is a special exception. Make sure to keep this a secret even from the people in the palace." After saying that, what Father handed to him was a one-page sealed letter. Stayle, who mysteriously received the envelope, opened it and then the moment he saw it, "Eh?" and unconsciously a voice spilled out from him. It's not surprising to see him react like that because inside the envelope was a letter from his mother. "Pryde requested for it. There was a promised compensation to be given to your mom by the palace. However, it was decided that instead of giving the full amount, it's better to give it proportionately every month, but in exchange, a letter from your mother will be entrusted to us. But, you can only reply to her letter once, every year on your birthday." Of course, the contents of their letters will be thoroughly and strictly checked; it is forbidden to tell his mother, or for her to ask him, anything related to the palace. Of course, his mother agreed to it...Father reassured though he might have just corrected himself. Read only on eunietl.weebly.com But before that, Stayle started crying out loud. 'Uwaaaaaaaah' he cried as he hugged the letter he got from his mother. Even Pryde, who was behind him, was surprised to see Stayle like this, for she never imagined there would ever be a day where she sees him crying his eyes out. So...he was still enduring it. I know that it would be impossible to ask Father to allow Stayle and his mother to meet again. That's why I thought it would be fine if it's at least letters. In my previous life, there's the internet and social networking services. That's why even if you are far away from your family, through a phone, you can still connect with them. Though it would be impossible to have a frequent exchange, at least they could learn and understand each other, even a little bit, through this, as long as they can still be connected. I requested it from Father many times, and when I suggested that we can use this to hear and learn about the situation of the commoners who live in the castle town and that it would help govern them, he finally decided to think about it. Even the prime minister, Gilbert, was lost on what to do, but after acquiring approval from Mother, she seemed to have smiled as she said, "As expected of someone who is the queen vessel, to have such a broad heart." Father, who heard her words, agreed that there's no doubt it was something that Mother would say. But, I'm glad. As I pat the head of the crying Stayle, he turned around and strongly embraced me. Even though he has received and accepted my feelings numerous times, this is the first time he has ever acted like this on his own volition. As he tried to stifle his tears, I wondered if he has accepted himself even a little bit, and as I thought about it, I felt the warmth spreading in my heart. "I, Father, Mother, and your Mother. Everyone loves you." After saying that, I hugged him back. The crying voice he had stifled came back as tears continued to trickle down his face. Father was also happy to see Stayle like this. Stayle... my younger brother, I wish you could also love Tiara. I looked out the window as I thought about my sister, who I haven't met. Read only on eunietl.weebly.com … … After that, Stayle, who returned from his room, didn't leave his room and continuously held on to his mother's letter until he was called to have dinner. I was worried that maybe his feelings of wanting to go home grew stronger. But when dinner came, I felt relieved to see him energetic. It's just that compared to the gloominess he first showed, and unlike the cheery smile he made after, there's a calm and composed smile that had quite the resemblance to the Stayle from the game. ...That's just my imagination at work, right? After that, aside from calling me Older sister or Pryde, he also now calls me "Her highness, the First Princess, Pryde." If suddenly a distance grew between us and the same scenario in the game happens and he starts hating me, what should I do? Even after all this, I felt faint in my heart. There are still ten more years until judgement. IMPORTANT: I'VE SKIMMED through UNTIL around chapter 30.
