Chapter 137 - What about brother Allen? (2/2)

Despite the vague term, Shaarya immediately understood. Her second sister? Thump, thump. Shaarya felt her heartbeat increase. Perhaps she can get a chance to speak with second sister? Shaarya had not spoken to the girl in so long, so she felt excited. Shaarya resisted for such a long time, after all, going home. She wanted to prove her point, if they continued treating her sister in that manner, then Shaarya would not associate with them.

It did seem to do the trick for a while. But after that incident two years ago, the security surrounding her sister changed again. That case of two years ago, whenever Shaarya thought about it, something felt off to her. Mother dismissed it as something natural, and the blame was placed on second sister. However, Shaarya always felt that there was something wrong with that case.

Kazuya must have understood what she thought since he pressed something on the crystal. The moment he did, Shaarya could hear her sister's voice. Quite some time had passed since Shaarya last saw her, let alone hear Lyn's voice. She suddenly felt so overcome with emotion, the tears in her eyes fell.

For those who knew her, Princess Shaarya was not the type of person who would cry in front of others so easily. She would not even let her guard down in front of her childhood friend, Ark, let alone another person. Shaarya didn't cry in front of her family members either. Not in front of Mother, Father, eldest sister, eldest brother, and second brother. However, second sister was the exception to that rule.

Second sister has always treated her with such kindness and warmth. If it weren't for second sister, then Shaarya knew she would have ended up exactly like her three other siblings. Her first memory is not of her mother but her eldest sister, it was when she was a mere child. Others thought they could pick on her since the third sister is usually the odd one out amongst the siblings.

There was that severe case where somebody tried to hurt her, and the one who came to her rescue was none other than her second sister. Her first memory is of that vigilant figure of her sister taking the beating for her.

”Sister,” Shaarya called out meekly.

There was a pause.

”Shaarya? Are you okay? Are you hurt and lonely? Don't worry, big sister will come to you.”

”Sister Lyn,” Shaarya repeated, ”I want to see you. Come quickly,” even though there was a stranger in the room. Shaarya instinctively acted this way upon hearing her sister's voice.

”Big sister will come right away, and ahhh! Kazuya don't fall for her, I know Shaarya is cute and adorable but..”

Shaarya blinked at her sister's rambling, she looked puzzled. However, Kazuya clearly understood since he laughed, ”Yes, yes, I know. Don't worry, my cute and adorable Lyn. Don't flirt too much with Rhys and your fiance.”

”I--I will not flirt with Rhys and Allen is a gentleman,” Lyn exclaimed. But Shaarya sensed uncertainty in her sister's voice.

Could it be that brother Allen finally made a move on her sister? If that's the case then maybe she doesn't have to worry. Maybe it's because Shaarya heard that brief uncertainty from her sister. But, the explosive emotions she felt towards the man named Kazuya vanished.

Don't worry, big brother Allen; she will make sure second sister picks you in the end. It seems like she will return to the Mist Kingdom after all.
