Can I Be Loved In This Life? - Chapter 3

“…”

Why are you so upset? You don’t like me, but you’re telling me to wag my tail like Lilian. At that time, the Emperor who had been talking with the servant for a long time looked down at me with a smirk.

“The child has no manners being picked up from the street. So don’t overdo it.”

“It’s hard with just one sister but you came to pick up another one for something.”

“Because she’s really your sister. I had no choice but to bring her.”

“…What?”

The first guy frowned at the word. Yes. That’s right. I’m sure it’s me the one who’s connected to him by blood. But looking at that expression no one seems to knows. I thought the first guy had heard about this story. Something like that?

(T/N: Lmao she didn’t even bother to call him by his name)

“She’s my sister?”

“Get to know each other and get close. We don’t know which one will get chosen yet.”

“Ah. That’s the story.”

Elterion’s face which had been stiff until just now loosened slightly at the word choice. No one knew that the princess should be sacrificed to God. At least the imperial family has heard about this countless times. He looked at me and Lilian alternately as if thinking for a moment, then grinned and pointed at me with his chin.

“But I hope the chosen one is at least her. I don’t like it when she put her claws up like a cat.”

Huh. I don’t like you either. The first bastard with the 8th-grade syndrome who’s only handsome. Still, this guy is better than the second guy. He openly ignores people, how should I treat the first guy? Sigh. Both of my brothers are crazy. I thought at least one person would be sane, but one had a syndrome, and the other…

“Lili!”

At that moment, the closed-door swung opened with a thud. It was the second guy who came in through the open door, showing a gesture reminiscent of a silver-haired Sapsali dog.

(T/N: Sapsali is a dog breed)

“Lili! Lili are you here?”

Lilian is the one he called as soon as he entered. This asshole. The second guy who had been seriously discussing shit with me earlier rushed in and hugged Lilian who was attached to Elterion’s feet.

“Lili!”

“Brother!”

Wow. A separated family is here. Guess Lilian was pretty good, the second guy rubbed his cheek against her.

“Brother is the best.”

“Pretty Lili. Our Lili.”

It was really well twisted. Seeing that the second guy who lacks professionalism likes Lilian that much. I took a step back and glanced at the four. It’s obviously a family. It’s like the perfect Imperial Palace family I’ve only seen in books. As for me, who didn’t want love, I was pleased to see them. That’s why I pretend I don’t get along like this and get chosen as a sacrifice. Then she’ll live. Fufu. It’s a perfect plan.

“You.”

But as if shitting on my perfect plan, Elterion sneaked next to me.

“…”

“Rolling stone.”

“…Beana. My name.”

“I know. But I don’t want to call you by your name?”

“Yeah. Don’t call me. If you don’t like rolling stone or don’t want to call me Bebeana, just don’t call me.”

Don’t call me, leave me like this and let me go. Please. I don’t want to get attention. Sigh, if I had possessed this body just one day earlier, I wouldn’t have entered the Imperial Palace. No, if only I had known the book’s content…! At the time when only a sigh of regret came out of my mouth, Elterion’s mouth opened again.

“How can I not call you?”

“Just hey, you, there. Call me like that. Don’t even think about calling me by my first name.”

“…I don’t like that?”

Are you deaf? You and the second guy are similar. You’re acting up to the point where I want to hit you. I wouldn’t because I’ve lived longer than you guys.

“Anyway, rolling stone. Father said to take you to your room.”

I freaked out and took a step back from him. It was a clear expression of dislike for him but he walked ahead. I hurriedly approached him and shook my head mercilessly.

“Can I go alone? You don’t have to take me.”

“…Listen to me. Rolling stone.”

No. I blocked him to express my dislike again. But I could hear my dad’s voice, maybe because he was watching over us.

“Go with Elterion. Bebeana.”

“…”

The word ‘no’ came out of my throat, but dad frowned as if he was threatening me so I helplessly had to take a step forward.

“I’ll go.”

“Elterion. Take her back safely. Get to know each other.”

It would have been nice if he hadn’t said the last word. He began to take the lead over me without much hesitation. As soon as we got out of the room, Lisbeth began to follow us from quite a long distance. The only one I can trust is Lisbeth. As soon as I saw her I telepathically sent Lisbeth to do anything with desperate eyes, but it didn’t work.

Lisbeth was walking with a smile, keeping a distance from us as if she was quite proud of me and Elterion going together. Sigh. Ugh, I don’t want to. I don’t like this guy. The unlucky first guy who only looks handsome. I walked fast, teasing my small feet to get out of here as soon as possible.

“Hmm.”

“…Hurry.”

“Fool.”

“…Faster.”

“Even if you walk like that, you can’t go fast. Are you walking like a fool because you don’t want to be with me?”

Sharp guy. My legs are torn apart because I was striding, Elterion who knew my mind looked up at the ceiling and straightened his legs at once as if nothing had happened.

“No, I’m not?”

“You are. Silly.”

“What do you mean silly!”

Hmph, if you know I don’t want to go with you, walk fast. Did you put something on your legs? Why are you walking so slowly? Looking at him with my cheeks puffed, I took out the Death Note in my mind.

[The one who will be killed first. Elterion.]

“But rolling stone.”

“Yes, confession prince.”

(T/N: Lol she changes nicknames every time)

“…Brother say things to you.”

“What brother say to me…”

“…I’ve never recognized you as my sister.”

“Hoo. I see. I’ve never recognized the confession prince as my brother.”

Contrary to my expectations that he would stare at me as if he was going to eat me right away, the confession prince looked down at me with a grin. It’s said that God is so good at doing useless things. Giving that handsome appearance to that child. I’d rather make a passing dog look handsome. Huh. I looked at him staring at me and made eye contact with him, twisting his hair.

“But confession prince. Do you know what confession means?”

“I don’t know the meaning, but it’s a word that only commoners use. It wouldn’t be a good word.”

“Good sense.”

“Rolling stone. To be honest, I think you were hostile to me because you were shy earlier, wasn’t I handsome?”

“…That’s a confession.”

“Strange. You’re the first one who reacted so negatively to me.”

You can’t remember what I said but can remember my rejection. Tsk. That’s the scariest thing in the world…

[You’re the first girl to hit me]

[You’re the first girl who rejected me]

Ugh. I hate it. I trembled in fear that Elterion might say something sickly like he fell in love with me or something like that. However.

“It’s clear that all the commoners’ eyes are rotten. Lower humans. But why are you shaking? Do you need to go to the bathroom?”

“…No, let’s just go, go.”

“…You’re a weird sister.”

If I could I wanted to say that my brother was weirder but I don’t think anything I said would work. It’s like a complete confession. Because of that, I walked back to the room walking with my small feet. Fortunately, on the way there, he didn’t talk to me anymore. However, the first guy lamented endlessly in the middle.

It’s the first time that he has expressed so lowly about appearance. It was easy to say that I had a problem with my eyes. He doesn’t seem to know that his words were wrong in the first place. Well, as a prince, I’d have been living in a mess. I can’t remember what he’s talking about. Meanwhile, I was able to arrive in front of my room.

“Do you live here?”

“Right.”

“…Why did they give you such a remote room? Lilian’s room is on the second floor.”

That’s because I’m a person who doesn’t want to be seen. But I know I’ll look too smart if I say that, so I just shrugged my shoulders as if I was also wondering.

“Well?”

“I have to say this. To father.”

“No. Don’t tell him.”

“Why?”

Because I want to stay quiet here without anyone knowing and then leave. I looked up to him with such a full heart. However, as if my telepathy didn’t work, Eltherion turned his head with a rotten smile.

“What’s with that facial expression?”

“…There’s something wrong with my facial muscles.”

Of course. He was originally a confession prince born to pick a fight with others.

“Do commoners have different facial expressions? Seven facial expressions just passed by your face. Rolling stone.”

“…Ah yes yes. Rolling stones grown on the street have various facial expressions. Unlike a certain someone. If you’re going to keep arguing without saying anything, I’ll go in now.”

“Did I argue?”

“…It’s even more amazing that you don’t know.”

I shook my head as I looked at him with an incomprehensible expression on my face.

“I’m going in?”

“…”

“Bye. Confession prince.”

Maybe it was a shock of his own but the first guy didn’t answer so I left him behind and quickly entered the room.

After returning to the room like that, Lisbeth’s face had changed subtly. I feel good and anxious at the same time. After chewing her mouth for a while trying to figure out what to do, she turned her head at me.

“Princess. I really thought my heart was going to fall.”

“Why?”

“Why? You have to be polite in front of the Emperor and other people. You should be pretty.”

“Why should I be pretty?”

I looked at Lizbeth playing with my hair like a child. She rolled her eyes as if the words I spit were quite embarrassing.

“That’s…”

That’s quite cute.

“I don’t want to be prettier. I just need people I like to like me.”

“Now the princess is speaking with a pretty voice.”

“Because I want Lisbeth to like me?”

I smiled broadly at her while wearing a proprietary cute expression number 17, which I had been practicing hard for the past few days.

“You’re pretty. I hope others can see this.”

It was then. Knock knock. Who’s knocking? Both me and Lisbeth were surprised by an unfamiliar sound I had never heard since entering this castle. The last room of the palace that no one is looking for. For the 11th day as of today, no one has visited this almost empty place.

Even my second brother, who came to visit and said all sorts of things, suddenly opened the door and didn’t knock. Both me and Lisbeth couldn’t say anything flustered by that, in the meantime, I heard another knock.

Knock knock. Who is it? Why are you knocking anxiously?

“Princess. What should I do?”

“T-tell them to come in!”

With that said, Lisbeth approached the door and turned the handle to open it.

“Hum…!”
