Chapter 7: I Have a Strange Older Sister!

My name is Slokay-Ibekar, the second daughter of the Duke of Ibekar, because my mother was a concubine and died when she gave birth to me.

So I was not treated well in the Duke's house, not only did my lady snub me, but my half-sister Elizabeth also hated me very much, bullied me everywhere, and finally even the servants ignored me.

My father loved Sister Elizabeth very much, and he didn't pay attention to me at all, and in the whole Duke's house, the only place that belonged to me was my own room.

Then, I fell in love with painting, because under the canvas, no one can bully me, and under the canvas, I am free.

However, I was not well received, and it was difficult for me to obtain even a canvas and brushes for painting, so I had to ask the kind gardener uncle and the servant to buy them for me.

Today, I heard the servants talk that Sister Elizabeth had followed her father into the palace, saying that she was going to meet some of the princes, but at noon my father and sister returned, and it was said that my sister had been wounded in the palace.

In the days that followed, the servants talked about her sister, saying that she seemed to be a different person, and that she would not yell at the servants anymore, nor would she be unreasonable, except for the occasional inexplicable move.

I didn't care about that, for me, it was enough that I had a painting, and then the news came that my sister was engaged to the third prince.

That's great! Betrothed to the Prince.

After a few more days, I hid in my room as usual to paint, and then my sister came to knock on the door, and to be honest, I was scared at the time, and hurriedly hid the canvas and tools before I went to open the door, but it still made my sister angry.

She pushed the door open so hard that I curled up in fright, begging for her forgiveness, but instead of scolding me, my sister hugged me tightly and apologized to me.

Is this really Sister Elizabeth? I have doubts in my mind.

In the days that followed, Sister Elizabeth ran to me whenever she could, occasionally sleeping with me in my room, and the bad sister who had been snarky was completely gone.

Now Sister Elizabeth cares for me very much, and after seeing my paintings, she excitedly took my hand and said to me.

"Slokaj's hand is the hand of dreams! The Hand of God who created dreams for countless dead houses! ”

Although I don't understand what Sister Elizabeth means by the dead house, I am really happy to have my sister's approval.

"The weather is so nice today! So! Slokay! Let's go to the courtyard and paint together! "My sister often dragged me out of the room with a sparkling expression on her face, and the two of us painted together in the courtyard.

Although the sister's painting ...... Very characterful!

"Oh! Slokay look! This flower garden is finally blooming! Come on, come on, can you help me draw it as a souvenir? My sister looked excitedly at the flowers she had cultivated.

"Well, yes, congratulations to my sister, I'll draw it!"

"Huh? Slokay? Why are you painting me! Draw flowers! Flower! ”

"I'm painting flowers." I smiled and said to Sister Elizabeth, who looked inexplicable.

Yes, my sister is as beautiful as a flower in my mind.

Although my sister takes good care of me now, my wife is still so cold to me, but it doesn't matter, after all, I have Sister Elizabeth now.

Today, Sister Elizabeth insisted on taking me to the dining room to eat with the whole family, but when my wife saw me appear in the dining room, her face was quite ugly, and my father was also embarrassed.

However, my sister didn't pay attention, and when my wife saw me seated, she immediately got up and wanted to leave.

I felt sad that I shouldn't have come here in the first place, but my sister immediately stopped Madame when she saw this.

"Mother, where are you going at lunchtime?"

"I don't have an appetite." Sister Elizabeth received this answer from her mother.

"Oh yes, then I don't have an appetite anymore, and we'll eat together when my mother has an appetite." Sister Elizabeth said so firmly.

In the end, Madame seems to have given up, and probably Madame also knows that her sister will do what she says!

However, my sister's table manners are quite poor, not only do I speak loudly, but I also jump over to change dishes with me, obviously everyone is the same aristocratic education, how can my sister become like this now?

However, looking at the calm expressions of my father and wife, I realized that my sister has always been like this now?

My sister has made a lot of efforts for Mrs. and me, and frequently took me to Madame's lady etiquette courses, and she also deliberately did a lot of rude things in front of Madame, which made Madame angry.

"If only you could have half the Slokay!" This is a phrase that Madame used to say.

"Why aren't you my own daughter?" This is a phrase that Madame often said when she looked at me a while ago.

"If only I could swap Slokay for my hopeless daughter." This is a phrase that Madame often says now.

Although I don't understand it very well, you can just be happy.

Recently, my sister's fiancΓ©, Bekas, the third prince of the kingdom, has also come to visit Sister Elizabeth frequently.

Probably from the time my sister practiced swords until she fainted, she could see him at least once in three days.

To be honest, I didn't like him, I always had a bright smile on my face, I didn't know what was going on in his heart, and as soon as he got close to my sister, I felt uncomfortable.

There is also the child who came with the swordsmanship instructor, who ignored Sister Elizabeth at first, and after being dumped by her sister's socks, she has recently begun to follow her sister inseparably.

I obviously treated my sister like that before, and I still have a face to follow.

Hum! My sister just needs me to follow!

"Slokai! Can you help me hand over the scissors? ”

"Yes, my sister. Coming right away. "My sister who prunes the flower garden in a gardener's overalls is also cute!

"Slokai! Just call me sister! It's my dream to be called my sister by Slokay? ”

My sister inadvertently said something terrible!

"Yes sister, good sister."

"Huh? Where did it go? "My sister who is troubled is so cute!

"Slokai? Have you ever seen my comb, it's the purple one. Obviously, I put it in the makeup case casually. ”

My sister looked troubled.

"I didn't ...... Nope! Sister, you've been losing a lot lately, have you forgotten somewhere else? ”

"I remember that it was in the makeup box. Belch...... I don't know where the hairpin from last time went, and the bottle of nail polish that wasn't used up last time is gone. ”

"Are you looking for it?" I propose.

"Ugh! Forget it, this little thing won't let you find it when you want to find it, and it will pop up on its own when you don't want to look for it! No matter! Then, my sister walked away full of energy.

Looking at my sister's back in the distance, I went back to my room.

I carefully took out my sister's purple hairbrush from my pocket, locked it in a delicate little box with my sister's hairpins, nail polish and other items, and smiled contentedly.
