────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────Chapter 11 – I Became Friends With The Young Male Lead (4)

“Unnie, you visited?”

“Yes, you seemed occupied with your assignments, Cecil.”

I ran over and embraced Rebecca.

“Merry, my dear sister.”

“I won’t be staying for too long. I have to depart to the temple right away.”

Rebecca, whose Divine Power was so great, enough to challenge the succession rights, soon returned to the Church formally during her coming-of-age ceremony last year.

Normally, when you returned, you had to live in the temple, but Rebecca was commuting to and from the palace instead, due to the influence of the Imperial family.

Even though it would be exhausting for her, it was decided solely because something could happen anytime to me.

‘I guess this is why I have not felt that Rebecca has really left the family.’

Feeling grateful, I looked at my older sister who was always looking after my health.

‘I wonder if it is just because of Cecilia’s lovely beauty that Rebecca is devoted to me…’

As we sat next to each other side by side on the sofa, Rebecca pulled a small box out of her pocket.

“Your eighth birthday is coming soon. I don’t think I will be here by then because I will be going to the Sea of No Return. So, I will be giving you my birthday present in advance.”

Ah, the Sea of No Return.

The Sea of No Return was not the only problem during the double solar eclipse, which was currently in upheaval.

Every year, when the two moons meet at the same time at the end of the year, even if the entrance to the portal does not open, the energy of the Demon Realm is so strong that it devastates the surrounding area.

So the Priest and the Holy Knights were sent there to purify the land.

Rebecca, being part of the Imperial family, received a lot of privileges, had no choice but to be transferred to assist in the Sea of No Return.

‘It’s a dangerous place… But, if it is Rebecca, she will be alright, right?’

The dying knight that I had dreamed of years ago came to my mind. The highlight of the original novel, when the dispatch of the knights suddenly turned into a disaster…

When the entrance of Sea of No Return suddenly opened as Leopold was dispatched, and Amelie who followed him, both faced a desperate crisis. Where the supporting character dies and the soldiers get poisoned…

‘It wasn’t bad, that episode.’

I loved the scene where Leopold and Amelie professed their feelings for each other in that critical moment. It was so good that I read it several times.

‘Roselia during that episode was also great. So when I first saw her I was thrilled.’

But, now…

“My birthday wish is for Sister to return home safely.”

The moment I heard the ‘Sea of No Return’, I could not control my worried thoughts.

Regardless of what they would become in the future, that place would always endanger my siblings…

‘Their safety is a top priority.’

Ten years from now, Rebecca will also appear in the original novel, so I knew her going wasn’t much of a big deal, but that does not mean there was nothing to worry about.

Was it because I have already lived as Cecil for eight years? Time passed and the family of Cecilia in the novel has slowly become my own.

As I was occupied thinking about it, tears welled without myself knowing. A gentle smile spread across Rebecca’s face as soon as she saw me.

“Cecil, do you know that this Unnie has the strongest Divine Power among us siblings?”

“Still…”

Rebecca stroked my face softly.

“Unnie is more worried about you. I know you’re doing fine because you’re staying at the Freesian Palace, but me being away from you… You know what I mean.”

Rebecca opened the box and removed something from it.

It was a lace choker, with a crystal the size of an adult’s thumb.

The finely-made lace looked luxurious, but it didn’t seem to be a simple adornment, from the looks of the crudely crafted crystal.

“What is this, Unnie?”

“I contained my Divine Power inside. In case something happens, you would be able to protect yourself. You remember we practiced on how to manifest it, right?”

I nodded. She said that I could not have no Divine Power at all, and so a high-ranking priest among the closest aides to the Holy Father would come and train me several times.

However, it didn’t do much.

‘It was because of Rebecca who’s been giving me her Divine Power so I don’t get sick…’

This is the first time Rebecca and I will be apart for a long time, so my sister took a great care of me among our siblings.

“Aaw, our Cecil is a crybaby.”

“Hey, Unnie!”

Maybe it was because I was still young, it was hard to hold back my tears.

Rebecca smiled at the sight of me and wiped the corners of my eyes and wrapped the choker around my neck.

“What do you think? Does it match your dress?”

Rebecca brought me in front of the mirror that was hanging on one side of the drawing room.

“Nanny seems to be really worried about me being away for months. Please take care of her in my stead, take your medicine and be careful not to catch a cold, okay? Of course I know that our Cecil will do well on her own.”

In front of the mirror was an older sister who was full of worries about her young sister, whom she would not be seeing for a long time. And me, the ugly younger sister who found it hard to fully accept her love.

It’s not just about the beautiful characters of this novel anymore, with the reader seated at a special view.

The affection I share with Rebecca is not because I am her doll-like youngest sister… It was deeper than that.

‘I may not have felt loved in my past life, and I have loved many times. There is no way I would not know the difference.’

Feeling I was going to burst into tears, I burrowed into Rebecca’s arms.

“Unnie, please come back safely. When you return, I…”

I’ll love you properly.

I swallowed the words that only I could understand.

‘Leopold was right.’

From the bottom of my heart, I thanked my friend who was no longer just the male lead in my favorite novel.
