Chapter 31 (2/2)

If there’s anything that I can do for Katarina now, it’s…… I fixed my posture, and raised my head

“Prince Alan surely also has things that you are good at, it’s natural that people will be s than others”

To the completely inferior me who had always been compared to my older twin, that’s what she told me

That girl’s light blue eyes looked directly at o easy on irl who could climb trees like a monkey, Katarina Claes

I had been troubled by whispers behindfilled with delusions of grandeur Afterof powerlessness pressing down on my shoulders as well

She was always so direct, it was very co by Katarina’s side That’s why, I always stayed by her side as if it was the natural thing to do

That…… How did it come to this……

That I ht that, I experienced a terror that I’ve never experienced before

Then, I noticed it for the first time To me, Katarina had already become a very important person…… What’s more…… To the point where I alanted to be by her side……

How could I have been so dense Soer of losing her……

Since she’s ht of her that way before

Even so…… I still want to stay as close by as allowed I can’t bear the thought of losing her right now

I want to do so to be able to help Katarina……

“Your parents are so wonderful, and your sister is so cute as well, Nico-sama, you’re a really lucky person”

I still can’t forget the day that she said that to

People decided on their own that my important family was a misfortune upon me, and pitied me…… No matter how much I told people “I’m lucky” they wouldn’t understand

I thought that nobody would ever understand…… I had already given up

Katarina Claes understood what I was thinking My frustration at how others didn’t understand finally burst out ofinstead

Ever since that day, Katarina became a special person to me

Since I wasn’t really that good at dealing with other people, I often averted my eyes

However, Katarina would always look straight at htly like the sun It was very co by her side

Katarina’s the fiancee of my childhood friend, the third prince

I had always thought that we’d all be together forever

Even though I had always thought that I’d stay as close by as allowed by her side……

“You’re excellent, you’ll definitely be the next prime minister” is what people aroundunable to do anything for the most important person to me

I can’t even protect the person most important to me, what’s all this about the next prime minister supposed to be……

Once again, I clenched htly as I could, to the point wherestreaks of blood into my palms

“I think, that Sophia-sama’s silken white hair, and eyes that sparkle like rubies are very beautiful in my opinion”

My appearance that was different froirl told ht after she took my hands in hers and said “won’t you be friends with me?”

At first, I thought that I was just having a really good dream, but…… I didn’t wake up from the dream

She’s the first friend I’ve ever had since I was born, and would always sently at me

Ever since ed so e of ht sun I finally obtained the happy days that I’ve always been drea about inside my room

I wished that these days would continue forever Even though that’s what I hoped……

Why…… Why did it co……

During these two days, if I lost focus for even an instant tears would coht all the moisture in my body should have dried up already…… Yet tears would still keep flowing out

Since the two days that Katarina’s collapsed, I’ve triedI’ve visited her roo out to her, but there’s no reaction at all, andhow she continued to sleep

Truthfully, I wanted to be by Katarina’s side forever But, “you can’t say things like that” is what my brother lectured me with in the dorm rooms

But, being separated like this right now, at thissense of anxiety at the thought of possibly losing Katarina

During these two days, various doctors have been here to check up on Katarina, but none of them found a way to wake her up

If she keeps sleeping like this, Katarina’s life will be in danger……

At first, I didn’t feel like this was real, having been confronted with the facts so suddenly No matter which doctor it was, they would always reply unfavorably during these two days, and reality crept closer and closer

At this rate, I really ht lose Katarina…… I won’t be able to see that smile anymore I definitely couldn’t stand that! I don’t want to lose her!

As I thought that as hard as I could, that’s when it happened

“That’s it! It’s unbearable! I don’t ever want to lose anyone again!”

From somewhere, I suddenly heard a voice It’s a voice I’ve never heard before, yet it was still soic

I was surprised, and looked all around, but there was nobody else in the room besides the servants

“Even though I was finally able to oing to help that girl! So, stop crying uncontrollably in a place like this, and take me to where she is!”

It was as if I was hearing afrom myself Under the mysterious voice’s orders, I stood up and headed for Katarina’s room

“Sophia-saht!?”

Theto Katarina raised her voice in surprise at my sudden visit

Well, that’s to be expected It’s already the ht, and I suddenly visited without prior notification Normally, this would be considered very out of the ordinary Even so, I felt that I absolutely had to come here Also, because that mysterious voice had appealed to me as well

“……Katarina-sama”

I approached the bed, and firrasped both her hands in mine

When doing so, it seems that my odd behavior has been reported, and my brother came to pick me up

“Sophia, please calm down”

As he said so, he placed a hand on my shoulder, and proorically rejected it

Somehow everyone seems to have been informed, and before I realized it, Jared, Keith, Mary, and Alan, everyone has gathered here as well

Even so, I just kept holding on to Katarina’s hands, and wouldn’t move

And, I brought her hands toPlease help Katarina” with all ht

Then, reflected on the back of irl I’d never seen before She had black hair and eyes, and even though I haven’t ever seen her before, she still felt fae

“I know it! She’ll definitely co for Katarina here!”

After the girl with such a strong will in her eyes said so, she disappeared

It’s been two days since I used dark ic to cause Katarina to fall into a deep sleep

Her knights desperately tried various methods to wake her up, but none of the that only the caster can cancel

At this rate, Katarina will probably just keep sleeping until her life runs out

That’s what my as

And yet…… For some reason, my chest was restless When I think that at this rate Katarina will lose her life…… My chest would tighten painfully

……No, I don’t want to lose her…… I want to cancel ic……

“What kind of stupid things are you thinking about!?” The other rily

“That girl is getting in the way of our revenge! We have to get rid of anyone that gets in the way of our revenge!”

……But……

To the confused hly

“The reason that you live is so that you can take revenge! Theof your life is so that you can cast those that stole away your mother’s life and et, your mother’s last words!”

……That’s right……

The last words of the e……” The last words ofof my life

The only reason that I’e
