My older sister, Loreina, was like the main character on a stage.
She was loved by all and enraptured all who saw her.
When the sun was shining over her wavy, golden hair, Loreina looked like an angel. The world loved the moments when the passionate Loreina cried, laughed, and sulked.
Indeed, my sister held the most favor in high society.
I was also part of that world.
No, my older sister was the world to me. And I believed that my sister also valued me.
But…
“…you framed me because you were afraid of getting caught?”
“It’s not only because of that.”
My older sister laughed. It was the angelic smile that I loved.
“I hate you enough to want to kill you, Sienna.”
That was the expected answer. I laughed bitterly.
“For your information, nobody will save you. You only loved me. But I had always despised you. Unless, would you like His Grace to do it in my stead?”
“…I suppose so.”
Everyone hated me. It was an undeniable fact.
When Loreina saw me willingly admit it, she smiled happily.
“Finally! I’m so glad I can kill you myself, Sienna.”
“…Isn’t it too early to celebrate?”
“… What?”
My older sister, who was dancing happily, stopped suddenly. Her beautiful green eyes widened.
“Sienna, you, how…!”
“Sorry, sister, you wanted to kill me, but I simply can’t grant you your wish.”
Rather, in the face of an unbearable shock, laughter came out.
‘I’m glad I didn’t want to cry.’
I smiled lightly and drank the poison I had prepared in one gulp.
“No!”
Loreina stretched out her arm. However, a heart-shaped barrier was firmly placed between us.
“You, you must die more miserable than anyone else! I won’t allow you to die so easily!”
“That dream…is big…sister.”
Cough. Blood burst out with a cough, but there was no pain. I smiled, relieved.
“Sienna!”
The sound of my sister’s evil roar slowly drifted away.
An unloved existence.
‘I’m glad there’s something I can do as I please, even if it is in my last moments.’
Then, I lost consciousness.
That’s how my world ended.
…No, I expected it to be over.
“Sienna! Come on, get up!”
I never expected the life that ended would start again at some point before I met my sister seven years ago.
In the face of an impossible reality, I was the only one who could appreciate it.
“… I’m screwed.”
But one thing was clear.
The ending was decided from the beginning. Even if I came back in time, my older sister, the lovely angel Loreina, was a person who I could not win against, no matter how much I struggled.
So, on the day I went back in time, I made up my mind.
I did not know why I was given this miracle, but…
I needed to avoid getting involved with my sister again.
