I Don’t Trust My Twin Sister

Soon after, I moved away from him in the climax of the music, and then stuck to him. The moment our bodies touched, a cool fragrance stabbed my nose.

“You didn’t answer.”

“What do you mean?”

“If you want to be the main character.”

He was persistent. Lastly I replied, facing Ian’s eyes.

“Yes, that’s right. Do you need more answers?”

He laughed. Was he very satisfied with my answer? I felt that he wasn’t lighting off my hands, wasn’t music over yet? The end of that dance was that the opponent stuck a woman who lined up the upper body to the floor, but he pulled his hand from my waist. I was going to fall down…

“I told you earlier. I’m useful.”

“What…”

“Forgive the rudeness, Lorencia.”

What rudeness? I felt that something was not making sense, but his actions were faster than I thought. In a moment, his hands pulled me from behind, and the balance was distracted and quickly collapsed behind. I reached out without a surprise and grabbed Ian’s shoulders right in front of me. The slightly away hand approached and supported my waist.

The beautifully uploaded music finished the magnificent forging quickly and accurately. In line with that rhythm, I was in his arms as if it collapsed. His face came down right. But it did not stop where to stop.

“Uh…!?”

Screams were absorbed into his mouth. My voice did not go out of my mouth. The nursery only entered Ian’s mouth. The snow grew. What was this now!? What did he do! My body hardened in the foreign object that came into my mouth. Soon his face receded. His tongue that gently licked my lips looked very sensual. My face turned red.

“What is this…”

Reflexively, a voice came out and Ian laughed.

“Didn’t I say it before?”

At the end of his words, I heard the applause and cheers around. It was a praise to the main character.

“I’m useful.”

* * *

Gorgeous lighting, beautiful dresses, and more beautiful couples’ kisses were enough to catch the attention of everyone. Each of them applauded and praised, accurately strawned who was the hero of today. Yes, I wanted to be the main character. I thought I could not give her a place or give concessions once again. But …But I wasn’t trying to use this low -cost technique!

At the time when I was looking at Ian’s face, who was smiling with a face that could not be distinguished whether it was a joke or not, Ersia’s face came to the surrounding field of view. Ersia was looking at me and was surprised in vain. I could see the tight fist.

At that moment, the calculation returned quickly.

“…I’ll only allow it this time.”

“Thank you.”

I tried to ignore Ian, who lightly responded with a smile.

Ian gave strength to the hands that supported me. I stood up quietly and received the cheers and applause of the people standing next to us.

The other part of the party was a banquet, but the adulthood ceremony was the only thing that was the party, and that was tradition and culture. It was natural to stand in the place where I was the main character and was applauded by people. I opened my mouth calmly, recalling the past that I couldn’t enjoy that for granted.

“Thank you.”

I lightly wrapped Ian’s arm and put my arms folded. He relaxed and lifted his arm to my movement. He was a man like a raccoon. I slightly scattered him with this idea. Anyway, we will look beautiful in the eyes of the people. That was enough.

“In today’s adult ceremony, I’m going to make a very important announcement. In fact, I tried to tell you before, but it seemed to break your entertainment.”

It would not have been, and there was the response that I expected. I laughed brightly.

“I’m going to tell you that the heir of Akstain and the Grand Duke of Berdian are meeting with the premise of marriage.”

The people who had already noticed nodded as if they knew it. The turmoil was now on Ian’s back. It’s just a jealousy and surprise feeling, and now it’s only a praise to the protagonist. I turned my head and looked at Ian. He also stared at me in line with my eyes. His eyes were smiling.

I muttered quietly to him.

“… I’m pretty useful too.”

“What?”

After ignoring the words, I looked around and talked again.

“In fact, there were a lot of bad rumors about the Grand Duke of Berdian… No, there were a lot of bad rumors. Ian was rumored to like men in the world. At first, it was ridiculous and we were angry, but we were patient. Do you know why?”

Once steamed. It was a speech that raised questions.

“The more rumors spread, the more I and Ian share the secrets that only I know. In other words, the rumors of the world continued to be more sticky with me and Ian. For this,  should I say thank you?”

I smiled as if to show I never believed rumors. How many people in this place had laughed at them from behind? In the empire, he was greeted just after the Emperor. People said the Berdian family kept his place purely by force, unlike the Duke of Sapelle. That’s how much attention Ian received.

“I would like to give you a gift as thanks for coming here tonight as I do an announcement at the same time.”

They applauded greatly. Then, as if waiting, the waiters moved and gave a gift to the aristocrats. People were quite surprised. In fact, the gift was about to be given at the end of the adulthood ceremony, but it was improvised because the gold situation was the best. Certainly the response was good. The aristocrats with the best gifts of the highest values opened their mouths. It’s an unexpected gift. Normally, you have to go to the most important parties to get something similar, but they received a gift just by attending. Maybe they didn’t even think that was possible. In addition, many designs, colors, and brands were selected to prevent the gift from overlapping. It was difficult to bring them to only one place because of the short preparation period, and it was obvious that it would come out when the overlapping was overlaid.

“Do you like it?”

I looked around the people more than before. A satisfactory voice broke out. The words reached their ears, and at the end they were aristocrats. People faithful to their instincts.

“I think it’s a bit lacking, but I want you to accept it. Now I’ll give you the center. I’ve been holding it for a long time, I’m sorry.”, I looked at Ian after gracefully greeting them “Please enjoy it. “

* * *

I escaped people’s attention and breathed deep. The gift offensive lasted for several hours, and an additional question was added. I seemed to fall because I hadn’t taken into account how tired I would be. If my grandfather hadn’t taken my place there, I would have been caught so far.

“Huwoo…”

Cold air rubbed the cheeks. It’s not winter yet, but the cold air was quite chilly. She sat in a neglected chair of the garden. It didn’t matter that the dress was getting cold. The party was running towards the end.

“Grandpa can take care of the rest. I’ll take a break.”

Was it because he showed me staggering this morning? My grandfather, who was worried about my lack of sleep, sent me out as if he was chasing me. I wanted to remain until the end, but I was thankful for being almost limited mentally and physically. After all, it was great to be able to lean on my grandfather. 

I looked up at the sky with my body on the chair. It was night. In the deep night, the beautiful stars shone like diamonds. In the past I often looked up at the sky, more specifically to the sparkling points pointed to the sky, and my grandfather always said that my parents would be somewhere there, so I should look up at the night sky and make a wish. I forgot with age, but I didn’t think I remembered quite a lot about when I was young. If you think about it, the forgotten memories, the changing habits and traces popped out of everywhere. It was new to see the things that I thought I was lost.

I was satisfied now. At the moment of erasing my black traces one by one, I would feel catharsis. It was the only way to erase the poor sister who wanted to remain a good sister and a good fiancée.

I laughed. Very brightly in this world. There was no stupid and dull sister who had shown the rows that were only known for their good lines. In the end, there was no Lowrence who was betrayed by her sister and lover and shed tears.

“The wind is cold.”

I turned my head to the warmth of the end of my shoulder and I opened my eyes wide.

“That the…?”

“No matter how winter is winter, sweat is sweaty.”

He had taken off some buttons of his white shirt buttons and put his hands in his pants. With the other hand, he scrambled something from my arms and pulled out a long stick.

“Do you smoke?”

I didn’t have much prejudice about smoking. But somehow this man did not match the image. Was it because he still looked a little childish? How old was this man now? Was he twenty -three? Um…

“This?”

He asked and unfolded a long stick in his hand. Laughter burst out.

“Pooh, poop! What is that?”

“What do you do?”

He relaxed with strawberry rod candy in his mouth and well. It seemed shameless to shrug the shoulders.

“I’m quitting smoking slowly.”

“Quitting smoking?”

I stopped smiling at the word quitting smoking slowly. Oh, it’s been a long time since I laughed.

“Well. I smoked until recently. It was the most stressful time.”

“But why did you quit?”

“Well”

He looked around and moved the candy as if moving a cigarette.

“How did you feel?”

How did I feel? I was worried for a while, but the answer was one.

“It was good.”

“I’m glad.”

He laughed. With the strawberry-flavored candies he seemed to be quite cute. There was also a lot of charm.

“Did you see it before?”

“What do you mean?”

“When you say you are dating me, your sister and Beralt disappeared…”

I haven’t seen it. To be precise, there was no time to care. I was insane to focus on choosing words to convey important things. After that, I was hit by the crowds that were pushed again.

“Did they? I didn’t see it…”

“I’m sorry.”

“Why?”

“The expression was a spectacle. One person blushed like a child who lost his stuff and the other seemed to be at the limit to explode.”
