‘This is so Has s as well?’
Despite ruh his memories, Jin couldn’t remember a similar event in the past
The nickname the public used to call Luna was the ‘White Whale’
She was aloof, distant, and hard to get in touch with just like the ‘White Whale’ in the le white whale in the world, the nickname also reflected her anti-social tendencies
“Greetings to the eldest lady!”
“Greetings to the eldest lady!”
The knights ere gathered for Jin’s birthday all ran outside and shouted in unison
Even though she had yet to enter the castle, the servants in the dining rooan to bow in advance
“Let’s head downstairs to welcomeinto nothingness Having the opportunity to meet the clan’s eldest child was rare, yet extre Master”
Jin and Luna came face to face in the central hall It was the child’s first ti his eldest sister ever since the Selection Ritual
Dazzling silver hair, porcelain-like skin, and… deep eyes that appeared to pierce through everything in their vision
Luna’s deep gaze contained an inexplicable sense of danger and menace Those were the eyes of someone who had slain myriads of powerful warriors around the world as she slowly approached the realm of a sword ean beating furiously
‘So this is the gaze of soest…’
However, Jin hadn’t the leisure to admire her forever He couldn’t put aside the possibility that she had co
If that were the case, Jin had to come up with a solution to his pinch
As he racked his brain, Luna appeased the knights around therown a lot”
A cold and dry voice It wasn’t a tone suitable to address a sibling she hadn’t seen in 8 years
However, Jin sensed a faint aoodithin that dry voice Nonetheless, it was far too early for hi all this way We would’ve prepared a far more suitable feast had you notified us in advance, Elder Sister”
“That’s cute But there’s no need for such hospitality when I’er brother”
Luna replied as she patted her brother’s head
To think that his eldest sister—ho hi
‘Just why? Why? Why is she acting like this?’
The sa itself in hisoccurred as he had predicted, but he just sih Luna’s true intentions
However, just because it was difficult didn’t hter she was, Luna was still a 28-year-old lady
As for Jin, this was his 37th year alive in total, so there was no need to feel pressured
“That’s true There’s no need for you to do that when you’rewithin Runcandel territory, Elder Sister But honestly speaking… since I don’t know you well enough, I was subconsciously feeling nervous and on edge”
The hand that was stroking Jin’s head froze Gilly was bewildered by Jin’s honest statehts around the in disbelief
Silence ensued The surrounding people were sweating buckets as they watched the siblings stare at each other
“You were… nervous?”
“Yes, Sister”
“Should I interpret that as you being uncomfortable around me?”
“I’m not uncomfortable It’s just that since this is basicallyyou…”
Another round of silence
The athts and Gilly all thought that she would be furious, but it was the opposite They could never have predicted the emotions they saw in the woret, and bitterness
Those were the eht, I was being inconsiderate You et that… I’m sorry”
Even Jin was taken by surprise by her reaction

This large clan of swords would support and love each other, and sacrifice oneself for a brother or sister
Monitoring each other, stealing fro another doere the fa heard Jin’s explanation, Luna believed that the young child thought of her as an ‘obstacle’ and a ‘hindrance’
That was the reason behind her sorrowful gaze
“Everyone, give us sohts and nanny to leave the hall, Jin?”
Luna bent down and matched her eye-level with her brother’s Once Jin nodded, the knights and Gilly emptied the place
While he still couldn’t read her true intentions, Jin believed that Luna didn’t ”
“Yes, Sister”
“The reason I ca I must tell you And today happened to be your birthday as well”
Jin let down his guard visibly
“So to tell me…?”
“Due to Father’s interest in you, all of our siblings are keeping an eye on you And seeing your attitude today, it seenifies”
Every Runcandel was paying great attention to Jin
And it was to no surprise It idely known that Cyron had come all the way to the Storest child
Moreover, Jin had chosen Barisada during his Selection Ritual, so it would be weirder if they weren’t keeping an eye on him
