Love Letter From The Future

4. Rynella’s fate is decided by Rynella (53)

It had been a long time since I sat on the bed with Lia.

To be honest, it was a pain in the ass.

Even if it wasn’t so, my head was pounding at the talk of abandoning the territory. However, with Lia crying out of nowhere, I had no choice but to be in trouble.

Being an older brother, I couldn’t help comforting my little sister.

Of course, there were other things to worry about.

Until now, I had been so distracted that I forgot about it, but Dark Priest Mitram took on the exact same appearance as Lia.

It was a body that I called a ‘replica’.

Of course, it wasn’t Lia’s body, but I couldn’t help but have doubts growing in my heart.

Mitram said that long-term research was needed to clone the human body.

It was impossible for the Dark Priest to study Lia, who stayed in Percus Mansion all day.

Of course, that was just a one-sided statement. Not entirely believable.

Even so, for some reason I felt a faint uneasiness.

Didn’t the love letter from the future contain such content?

There is a secret in the Percus family.

However, it was not a question that could be answered by thinking about it right away.

If there was a secret in the family, there must have been a reason for not revealing it to me. And if he hadn’t revealed it to me, there was a good chance he wouldn’t have told Leah either.

He meant that asking Leah would only confuse her.

The first thing to do was to appease Leah.

I asked in a voice mixed with a sigh.

“Lea, what are you talking about… Why do I hate you?”

“Ha, but my brother… … .”

Leah hesitated and couldn’t bring up the story.

Apparently, the personality from the future had committed something else.

Normally, it wouldn’t be strange if he clung to me and acted cute, but I could tell just by looking at him keeping a little distance from me.

Leah was scared of me.

It was also suspicious that my sister was using an honorific word she had never heard before.

It was one of the reasons for adding confidence to my reasoning.

“And why are you using honorifics you didn’t use?”

“That, too, my brother… … .”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Lia flinched and trembled as she looked at me with watery eyes.

I smiled bitterly and reached over Lia’s head.

It was a bit far, but it wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t stroke my hair.

Chin, my hand covered the top of Lia’s head.

“You are my sister.”

“Oh, brother… … .”

Tears began to well up in Lia’s golden eyes.

It was only then that he seemed to know my sincerity.

To throw away a cute little sister who loves her brother like this, it was clear that ‘I’ from the future was trash.

As I gently stroked Leah’s head, Leah wept and closed the distance with me.

With a bang, the girl’s body was embraced in my arms.

A fragrant scent suddenly hit my nose.

It was a scent unique to women. Come to think of it, Lia also wanted a woman to be a woman.

It seems that the curves of the body have matured.

I calmed Leah while keeping in my heart a feeling I should never have with my little sister.

“How could I hate you, Leah… Have I ever been harsh on you?”

“Uh, I wasn’t there… Uh, yesterday my brother… uhm…”

As if the shock from the previous day hadn’t gone away yet, Lia burst into tears.

It was worth it.

It was a lifelong relationship where I didn’t say anything bad.

I was the only family member who took care of Leah and played with her while my parents and older brother were busy.

He was angry at times, but he never treated Leah coldly.

Because I had to be Lia’s ally and support.

It was the first time I had treated Leah coldly.

It wouldn’t be strange if Leah threw away her pride or whatever she was clinging to.

Even now, the way she glanced at me, if I looked uncomfortable, Leah was ready to kneel down again.

She was the one who had been obsessed with me since childhood.

In the meantime, he must have thought that even if he committed some rudeness, he would be accepted. But do you really think you could be hated? It seemed that he was terrified.

Should I call it fortunate or unlucky?

First of all, I thought it was rather fortunate that I was able to put the brakes on Lia, who was increasingly unable to distinguish between public and private affairs.

If it had been me, I would never have reacted so coldly to Leah.

However, on the other hand, I was also worried that I had planted anxiety in Leah.

Maybe it could lead to Leah becoming even more obsessed with me.

But for now, it was urgent to soothe Lia, who was crying profusely.

I swore to Leah.

“Don’t worry, Leah. No matter what happens, I will not abandon you.”

It was sincerity without even a hint of pretense.

I was looking for alcohol because I couldn’t stand being told to throw away the territory.

He didn’t know what he would do if he was even told to abandon Leah.

What Leah gave back to my strong promise was a memory from a long time ago.

“… … Are you a knight?”

Since I hadn’t been formally appointed yet, I wasn’t a knight.

Of course, any graduates of the academy could be knighted if they wished. So, he used the honorific title of ‘Kyung’ as a courtesy, but it was only an official courtesy.

There was no reason for Leah to bring up the word ‘knight’ to me.

If there is, it is only because of childhood memories.

A bitter smile formed on my lips.

“When are you talking about?”

“It’s only been a few years, I still remember… … .”

In Lia’s downcast voice, a rough feeling was conveyed.

I laughed and patted Leah’s head.

When I was devoting myself to entering the academy, I knew I would become a knight.

At the time, I was neither talented nor had a particularly special background.

All he knew how to do was pick up a sword and set it up.

However, there was a time when a little girl called my sister appeared out of nowhere, so I offered to become a knight to buy her favor.

At the time, I thought it was a short bravado from my childhood.

However, when I returned to my hometown, it seemed that the influence of those days was still there.

Leah, of course, and Ned still follow me, calling me ‘Master, Master’.

It was because Ned admired the knight.

Because the desire to protect my little sister was the same as mine.

After wandering past for a while, I had to come to my senses.

It was thanks to the fact that I could hear my little sister grunting.

Leah said in a still watery voice.

“It is a very precious memory to me… Back then, my brother treated me like a princess.”

“Did you miss your princess days so much? Shall I call you princess now?”

When I said it teasingly, Leah glared at me.

It seemed that his old temperament was slowly returning.

She tried to raise her voice to hide her embarrassment.

“Oh, don’t make fun of me… … !”

Then I was startled and hiccupped and stopped.

Leah, who carefully looked at me again, eventually blurted out her words.

“Horse, horse… please don’t Brother… … .”

The younger sister who became docile was also quite cute.

After a while, it was obvious that he would return to his original personality. So I decided to keep a good record of Lia in my mind.

I giggled and tousled Lia’s hair.

Lia frowned slightly, but did not reject my touch.

“Princess or not, you are my sister, don’t worry.”

“Chi, do you know who wants to be a princess… … .”

Lia pursed her lips and murmured softly.

“… … I want to do it because my brother is a knight.”

“Then you should reconsider your career path. I don’t even know what I will become later.”

Then I patted Lia on the head one last time.

She was my real sister, not a dark priest.

That sense of security was on a different level.

To be honest, the sight of Mitram stabbing me and bursting into madness gave me goosebumps, but now, on the contrary, I feel a little calmer.

Even so, I thought I should have a drink because my distraught mind was the same.

Lia seemed to have calmed down, too, so I tried to issue a congratulatory order.

It would have been if it hadn’t been for Lia’s next words.

“… … But thank you, I wouldn’t have been able to endure it if it weren’t for my older brother.”

First of all, I was about to take Lia out of my arms, but I hesitated at those words.

The density of emotions in those words was different.

It meant that Leah really thought so.

Nan deliberately pretended to be indifferent and soothed Leah.

“What are you talking about? you are my family… Even if it wasn’t for me, my brother and parents would have taken good care of me.”

“Ugh, no.”

However, Lia’s subsequent denial contained a strange certainty.

That unknown belief that if it wasn’t for me, no one would have taken care of her.

My puzzled eyes glanced at Leah.

She had a slightly forlorn face.

Looking back, it was always like that.

Leah kept her distance from everyone but me.

It was a friendly relationship in its own way, but it was a relationship that always used honorifics and honorifics. I was the only one Lia spoke with in short language.

I had always attributed this to childhood memories.

It was Lia, who returned to the mansion when she was ten years old after living in a foreign country for treatment.

Everyone must have seemed unfamiliar, and since I was the only one in charge of her, I figured that I might be able to be friendly only to me.

But what if it isn’t?

If I was the only one who thought of taking care of Leah, what conclusion would I have to draw if I was in charge of Leah?

In an instant, the illusion of Mitram’s deep voice piercing my ears arose.

‘fate’.

“Brother, actually… … .”

It was a whisper as moist as a petal wet with dew.

I was dazzled by the sweet scent.

“… … I don’t remember anything before coming to the mansion.”

At most, I just gave my strength to the arms that held Leah silently.

My head is white.
