Chapter 104 – I’ll Save You
“Hello, Miss Snowbel.
Didn’t I say we’d meet again?”
When Snobel silently opened her window, Eun-hye stomped here and there with a nimble movement and came up to her room.
Jumping over her window frame, she greeted Snovell.
“…Who are you?
No, just don’t answer me.
Was I a fool for not suspecting you who showed up on the same day as him at the right time?”
Grace’s eyes were sharp as she looked at Snowbell, who muttered dejectedly.
It wasn’t long before she opened her mouth.
“It’s been a week since my brother found out about the dance studio.
It showed up for the first time today, so preparations are thorough.”
Eunhye muttered what she was saying and looked straight at Snovell.
She revealed her truth
“My real name is Shin Eun-seo. Shin Eun-hye is her mother’s name.
Have you ever heard of it?”
“How would I know your mother…”
Her words were cut off.
Snowbell’s eyes turned to Shin Eun-seo’s purple hair.
Her purple is the hair color of sisters Snovel and Razbel, and her father, Nutella Barrier.
It cannot be compared with the green hair that symbolizes the imperial family, but her purple hair is also not a very common color.
Even so, she was often seen around her streets, so she had no doubts about it, but it’s a different story in this situation.
The conversation at the beauty treatment salon last night came to mind in Snowbell’s mind.
Then June had told Black Bell about her father’s affair.
A lot of shocking things happened, so I didn’t think it was important, but this is no way…
As Snobel’s complexion turned pale, Shin Eun-seo nodded at her.
“She must have been only three years old when it happened, so you wouldn’t know.
However, looking at the expression, it seems that there is a corner to guess.
The fact that we’re half-sisters.”
“Half-sister…”
Bastard.
Snowbell was well aware of the promiscuous private life of the nobility and the complicated genealogies.
But she never thought that Nutella Barrier, her loving husband and father, who loved her two daughters dearly, would be having an affair.
Snovell held her breath at the shocking fact that had come before her eyes.
“Then why did you appear?
What’s your relationship with that man?
We… Are you going to take revenge on us?
If so, why did you come to my room?”
“Calm down, Snowbell.
…Sister Snowbell.
We had a conversation before. What did you think of me?”
Shin Eun-seo said in a determined voice.
When I heard her voice calling her sister, my disturbed breathing slowly regained its tempo.
Snobel, who had barely regained her composure, recalled what had happened at her dance school.
“When I talked to you, I felt strangely friendly.
You did just that. Because we were blood sisters…
I understand now.
…How did you see me?”
“A arrogant and sassy noble lady.
Even if other people don’t know, I can know because I’m a blood relative.
You’re a noble, and you ignored the people around you, right?”
When Shin Eunseo answered without hesitation, Snowbell’s face heated up.
It was a blush mixed with anger and shame.
If someone else had said that, I would have been furious, but for some reason I didn’t feel like doing it.
“But that was just about it…
Snobel’s sister, she’s not bad enough to go through this.
After meeting her sister, she made up her mind.
I can’t join her brother’s revenge.
At least it shouldn’t be like this to people other than the Nutella Barrier.”
Shin Eun-seo concluded with an anguished expression.
Does that mean she was Jun’s sister?
Seeing as they don’t have a single resemblance, including the color of their hair, they don’t seem to be her real siblings…
Anyway, this was a genius opportunity.
A chance to solve all problems once and for all.
Snovell begged earnestly with her tears welling up.
“Please. Stop your brother. I can’t say I understand your feelings, but…
Your mother and sister are innocent.”
“I think so, Sister Snowbell.
But I understand your feelings too.
Nutella Barrier… I have feelings for my father that I can’t even tell.”
“Please…”
“And once oppa makes up his mind, no one can stop him.
I know it well because I have been with my brother for a long time.
He is a man of bold determination and the ability to put it into practice.
No matter what I say, it won’t help.
That’s the charm, but…”
“Well, then, is there no way?”
Snowbell asked in a desperate voice.
In the first place, she was determined to defeat Jun even at the cost of herself, but when she halfway thought that she had hope, her lingering feelings came back.
It reminds me of Black Bell, who slapped the cheek of her daughter whom she cherished so much without hesitation.
She didn’t want to die to be completely changed like her.
If there was a way to solve everything, she would of course prefer to bring her mother back to her sanity, with Snovell herself unharmed.
“There is a way. I came here secretly for that purpose.
Take this.”
Shin Eun-seo held out a piece of paper with small writing on it.
She continued her explanation as Snobel began to read it.
“My brother wants to hide his magic. It’s only natural that it’s such a huge secret.
Besides, I’m being pursued by the upper echelons of the Empire for some reason.
That’s why, if it’s about to be revealed, I’ll probably hide.
You want to avoid being surrounded by the police or fighting the nobles head-on.”
After reading all the papers she had been handed to her, Snovell opened her eyes wide.
This might be possible.
She trembled with joy.
The paper contained a brief explanation in a few lines.
The fact that Jun’s real name is Gongju-in, and he is with his younger sister Shin Eun-seo.
The fact that he uses magic that can manipulate people.
The fact that the people of Barrier Mansion are already being manipulated, and the rest must stop it.
These are simple facts.
These were very simple sentences that would take less than a minute to write.
However, these were sentences that Snowbel, who was forbidden to speak with a hypnotic voice, could never write.
“If my brother explained it to me, then her sister would already be being manipulated.
She, as her sister herself, would not be able to speak, and she would not be able to write.
But it is possible with the paper I gave you.
It’s possible enough to give this to Raj Bell’s sister.”
Snovell nodded absently at her.
Before she knew it, tears of relief and joy were flowing from her eyes and running down her cheeks.
She may be a reactionary who has felt lonely that she has to fight alone.
“You said that Lasbel and Nutella Barrier will return tomorrow evening?
Then I’ll call the police with a suitable excuse.
Aim for that gap and hand over the paper, sister.”
“Yes, yes… Okay. Thank you, Eunseo…”
As Snobel whimpered and couldn’t stop her tears, Shin let out a sigh.
She gave Snovell a little hug, with her wry smile reminding her of the time she kicked Crotty out of her dance studio.
“Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.
And unnie, if I run away with my brother, burn the paper and get rid of it.
It’s only a matter of time anyway, but it’s better than having physical evidence.”
“Yeah, I’ll do that.
Thank you for forgiving us…”
Although I can’t forgive the man who is the princess.
There was nothing better than that if I would never run into him forever.
As Snobel sniffed and dug into her bosom, Shin Eun-seo said shyly.
“Don’t be too pushy.
I also don’t like my brother having sex with other women, so I do this.”
“…Huh?”
Snovell raised her head.
You say you don’t like your brother having sex with other women?
“Do you like your brother?”
When she asked, Shin Eun-seo nodded her head and blushed.
When she showed such a high-spirited expression, she looked very cute, perhaps because of the gap.
Whether it’s Jun or the princess, it’s no different from Snowbel’s enemy.
However, if she is to the extent that she is loved by her little sister, it seems that there is a side of her that she does not know.
What he was doing now might just be the result of being twisted out of vengeance.
“He was also a stepbrother.
No matter what the world says, I will support you, Eunseo.
If only blood wasn’t mixed anyway…”
“…He’s my real older brother. We have the same parents.”
“…?”
Snovell tilted her head.
This time, it was Shin Eun-seo’s turn to bow her head as her face blushed.
“It’s the first time I’ve told anyone.
But I’m serious, sister.”
Snovell looked into her sister’s eyes.
She didn’t look like she was joking.
“I’m sorry to say this, but doesn’t that make sense?
Your mother, um… If he fled for fear of retaliation as soon as he had you, isn’t it strange that he has a brother who was born years before you…?
And to be her brother and sister, they don’t look alike at all.”
“Is that so? Um… It’s okay, brother said you don’t have to think too hard about that.”
“!”
Looking at Shin Eun-seo who answered with a wide smile, Snobel swallowed her breath.
What possibility did she come up with?
It was a terrible possibility…
“Shin Eunseo. It’s Eunseo…
Did you know that your brother can control people?”
“Yeah. You know that, so that’s why you came here.”
“Then maybe, but maybe… What if your brother is manipulating you?
Have you ever thought that they are manipulating your memories?
What do you guess?”
Shin stood tilting her head at Snobel’s question.
She seemed to be deep in thought at her sister’s question.
After a while, she said with conviction.
“There’s no way your brother can manipulate people, sister.
What are you talking about?”
“Yeah, that’s right. I asked something wrong. I’m sorry.”
Said Snowbell in a hollow voice.
It was at this moment that her doubts that she harbored turned into certainties.
Words and actions that are completely opposite to what was said just before.
And the atmosphere as if he didn’t even notice the contradiction.
Maybe, no, anyway.
Shin Eun-seo was also being manipulated by Jun… Gongju-in.
Perhaps they are not even relatives, let alone siblings.
Is it true that we spent a long time together?
“If we part now, we may never see each other again.”
“Yes. I will run away with my brother.”
“Yeah… I see.”
Snovell was away from her sister’s arms before she knew it.
The wick, which had weakened for a moment, became a solid rock again, supporting her body and mind.
She placed her hands on the shoulders of her shins.
“I’ll save you.”
“It can be done. Sister will be able to do it.”
Shin Eun-seo did not understand that the target of her request to save her included not only Black Bell and Raz Bell.
Even if she corrected Shin Eun-seo, who gave the wrong answer, it was useless as long as she was being manipulated.
Snovell was determined that she would definitely save this poor little sister.
I must save her, who did not know that her whole body was entangled in her web and went out for her other prey.
She jumped over her window sill and looked at the back of the shinning book that was disappearing into the darkness, her wet eyes shining with determination.
