For onetricks on him until he pinched his palirl, Rhode held his breath and closed his eyes After a while, he finally calirl slowly He bent down to her eye level and looked at her carefully

Facing Rhode’s actions, the little girl seeripped the teacup tightly but, she didn’t see her, she returned his gaze curiously at this young and unfamiliar man She was equally doubtful as to why this person had the exact sa lady I am Rhode Alander Can you tell entle Even his usual cold expression see this expression of Rhode’s, the threeso much time with Rhode, this was the first time he’d revealed such an expression A far cry fro of an icy cold, sturdy, yet reliable Rhode fro Rhode seeentle Just like the first rays of light fro with coave others an iht now they would have treated her as the gentle, beautiful and kind princess (TL: Yes, it’s princess, not prince) To coht should appear and kneel down on the spot while presenting his long sword to show his passion and loyalty

“No wonder he was always expressionless…”

Looking at this scene, Marlene, Lize and Anne started having hts Under normal circuh as athat they lack But, when a handsoentle side, co his tender side, the sensation is entirely different

(ED: Handso toentle so completely crazy, then the so of all fears and safely dive right into the warmth within

Of course, from a bystander point of view, this scene looked exactly like a conversation between a pair of sisters

“…”

Probably attracted by Rhode’s tone and expression, the little girl dropped her guard She raised her head slightly and opened her tiny lips, atte terrible, she quickly shut herthe little girl’s expression, Rhode smiled and touched her hair

“You don’t have to be afraid of cursing me It’s not your fault Trust me, you wouldn’t curse anyone Talk to me Tell me your nairl dropped her shoulders and lifted her face She said softly while looking right at Rhode

“You have a nice naently nodded

“So, Christie, I hope you can stay here for the tiood sleep later, and once you’ve woken up the next day, I have so important to tell you… is that okay?”

“… Okay…”

Christie slightly nodded Rhode didn’t sayher answer He just sently Just when Rhode was about to stand up and walk away, the little girl reached out to the corner of his clothes She tugged lightly and raised her head Deep within, her achromatic eyes were filled with care and expectations that probably the little girl didn’t know it herself

“… Naain… your nairl’s question, Rhode was surprised and once again revealed his smile

“Sure I am Rhode Alander Call irl soft repeated this na a precious treasure, she wanted to keep it deep within her irl revealed a beautiful wholehearted s the most precious prize in the world

“Hu…”

After exiting the room, Rhode quickly kept his smile and returned to his usual cold self Marlene and Anne felt that it was a pity…

Afterwards, Rhode left Christie with Lize Afterall, thefor others, she’s very reliable In order not to disturb the patient, Marlene and Anne chose to leave even though they wanted to stay They knew that ht cause messy situations, so they left in the end

But the doubts in their mind didn’t disappear

“Leader What relationshi+p do you have with the little girl?”

Anne couldn’t hold it any longer and ask out of curiosity

“We shouldn’t be related at all”

Rhode frowned upon hearing Anne and quickly made up an answer

But this answer didn’t satisfy both of them

“But… Both of you look so alike…”

Marlene used a more subtle term In fact, it was an understatement to call them ‘similar’ Especially when both of them stood face to face, no matter how everyone saw it, Christie was just a Rhode that was ten years younger To say that both of them have no relations, not even Marlene would believe that Although, logically speaking , Rhode who originated from the Northern Mountains shouldn’t have any relationshi+p with this sion, but the existence of Christie didn’t support this logic at all

“Just as the saying goes In this world, there will be at least three people who look exactly like you So it isn’t weird”

Rhode see lost sister?”

Anne asked, but she didn’t notice that it caused Rhode’s expression to darken slightly when her question reminded him of his past

“… I do indeed have a sister But it is a pity; she wasn’t lost”

“Leader, you have a sister?”

Hearing this, the curious Anne spoke a little louder Even Marlene started focusing on the conversation as Rhode had never ht If she’s still alive, then ed his shoulders Although he didn’t continue, but both of them understood his words and started to quieten… the atmosphere turned aard suddenly Rhode stared at the scenery out of the ith his hands behind his back Anne and Marlene didn’t knohat to say After a moment, Anne bit the bullet and clapped her hands and said

“Lea-Leader must have loved his sister”

“No, it’s the opposite”

To their surprise was, Rhode straightforwardly shook his head and interrupted Anne

“To be honest, I hated her from the start”

“Eh?”

Anne and Marlene were surprised

“Wh-Why?”

Marlene couldn’t hold it anyht not to invade other’s privacy, this e

But Rhode didn’t reply ilanced at the maidens and turned back to the

“… Have both of you seen twins before?” Rhode said with slight melancholy in his voice

“Eh? Twins… Yes”

“Anne had seen a few tiain Marlene and Anne almost couldn’t keep up the pace

“Normally between twins, many sisters or brothers look siht look alike, but it can’t possibly be exactly identical… Right?”

“This… As you said, it’s actually true…”

Marlene see As for Anne, she looked around left and right, full of confusion

Rhode nodded and said, “This is a normal situation I wouldn’t mention the specific principles because you wouldn’t understand All in all, you just need to know that usually tho looked alike basically are the saender, their looks will never be the saeneral theory Whereas my sister and I are just freaks that are an exception to that theory

“…”

Marlene and Anne exchanged looks They didn’t understand what Rhode had said and felt a weirdor there was a probleenetics In other words, our birth was entirely a special case And this didn’t bring us any benefits either Maybe we have violated the laws of nature, so my sister was born two times weaker than normal humans She couldn’t even leave her room Once she contracted a disease, even the s serious”

“It sounds tough…”

Marlene softlysi to Rhode’s explanation, she could is could turn out

“But, wasn’t your sister very pitiful? Why did Leader still hate her?”
