Raoul Bergé.

The man I hate most in the world and who became my everything. My hatred for him was the basis of who I am now, and I would have done anything to kill him.

Even ordinary death is not enough. I have to hold on to the hem of my skirt and beg him to stop.

Because he is the man who killed my sister.

Leila Nevermore.

My older sister who seemed to embody the word genius.

She was a sister who was perfect in everything, including academics, martial arts, art, and beauty.

He always wore black clothes, had bright, flowing blonde hair, and saw everything through golden eyes that sparkled even in the dark.

My parents died when I was 3 years old. Because of this, greedy relatives from the collateral attacked the family, but her older sister, who became the head of the family at the age of 7, began to subdue and control them.

That’s why I couldn’t help but be proud of my sister. That smile that my sister only showed to me was my treasure. Because it is only allowed to me.

“Rosie. don’t worry. I will chase away everything that threatens you.”

My sister was that kind of person. To others he was as cold as ice, but to me he was warmer than anyone else.

That gentle smile, that warmth, and that kindness were mine and mine alone.

But everything started to go wrong when my sister became the disciple of that damn Argos military minister.

My sister showed the smile she only showed to me to her friends. I was able to endure it up to this point. My stomach was boiling and my teeth were grinding with jealousy, but I could bear it.

But when my sister brought Raoul, I was so shocked by the feeling of betrayal that I almost fainted.

My sister was fighting with Raoul with a bright smile that I had never seen before. My older sister, who was probably a more mature and complete person than her peers, smiled like any other person her age.

“Uh, sister…?”

He said he was only brought here to sharpen his cane and hand-to-hand combat skills.

The young master who had dared to compete with her genius sister on equal footing, or even above the whistle, was also smiling. It was a gentle smile that you could only see if you had to look closely.

It was unpleasant. Showing that man a smile I hadn’t seen before, daring to raise the corner of my mouth even when my sister was smiling so brightly, daring to make a blemish on my genius sister’s perfection.

“Raul!!!”

“You don’t have to speak that loudly to hear it, Leila. It actually hurts my ears.”

“Aren’t you happy?! This moment when you and I collide with each other! If time permits, this is a fight I want to enjoy forever!”

“Say it again. I don’t like fighting.”

“You look bright for saying that!”

“Of course. There’s no way I can’t laugh when half my body is with me.”

The two people clinked their canes and laughed.

It was a strength and speed that ordinary knights could not keep up with. The techniques were so fluent and well-honed that even a child could understand them.

I was jealous. If only I had that kind of power. If only I had the strength to compete on equal footing with my sister.

That’s why I visited the military minister of Argos. I am now old enough to learn martial arts, so please teach me how to fight.

Then Military Minister Argos laughed as if it was ridiculous and told him to give him a shot. Instead, he said he would fight back with all his might.

It was crazy. It was impossible for a child who had not learned anything to attack such a monster.

“Ha…”

Even though it was obvious, he smiled at me and said this.

“I can turn anyone into a monster, kid. But even if I can’t save the weakness of the body… there’s no way to save the empty will.”

“Ha, but that can’t be possible…!”

“They think that what they are trying to do from now on is possible. Yes… you are a simple flower plant.”

He laughed at me like that and disappeared.

I knew very well that I couldn’t catch up with my sister. Because I am an incredibly versatile person.

But why is Raoul Bergé different? Why on earth did you give a man who seemed to have no motivation a talent equal to your sister? why.

Unable to bear that fact, he locked the door and imprisoned himself.

“Rosie. Why are you doing this? Did your sister do something wrong? Let’s come out and have a chat.”

Even though my sister called me desperately, I didn’t answer. Because I really wanted to see that expression on her face that she didn’t show to me. That’s why I didn’t want to see just a normal worried face.

Because I was a flower plant. Unlike my sister, who was praised as a bird that could soar to the brink of the sun, I was just an ordinary piece of trash.

My sister called me every day while working and training, but I didn’t answer.

And there was someone who broke down the door of my room and came in.

“You are the little girl from the Nevermore family, right?”

Arthur Berger. I knew him well because he was a man who had left behind so many achievements that he was called the greatest wise man in the empire. At the same time, he was also the father of Raoul Bergé.

In his hand was an article I had written last year. It was an article written based on research on how to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, but it was a failure that the tutor laughed at and said it was not funny.

“I decided. From today, you are my disciple. Well, that’s what I decided, so let’s do something like that.”

“Yes…?”

I couldn’t understand. Also the situation at the time. He also said that he would take me, who is general-purpose compared to my sister, as his disciple.

“But I have an older sister…”

“Argos The passing score for that can is 1 point. My passing score is 100 points. It’s not a place that a student who failed with 99 points in all subjects can get through. You have 100 points, little lady.”

I got 100 points…? My sister got 99 points…? I’m superior to her…?

That person was the first to acknowledge me. Moreover, even that older sister only called me cute and never acknowledged me.

“This is similar to my son. I was oppressed and oppressed again, so I made a big mess.”

He stuffed something unknown into my mouth.

It was something sweet, sour, fragrant and soft.

“From now on, if you want to use your brain, you will have to eat a lot of sweets, so get used to it, baby.”

He taught me everything. Politics, plotting, technology, medicine, how to treat people and animals, and how to laugh.

It was only after learning a lot from him that I finally gained confidence. The confidence that I can see the smile that my sister made when she met her rival.

That’s why, the day before my sister went to war, I grabbed her sleeve and talked to her.

“Sister…”

“Rosie?”

“When you come back… When you come back… I have something I want to show you.”

“Okay. I don’t know what it is, but I’ll be looking forward to it.”

I tried to show my sister that I had grown up. So that I can see that bright smile.

So that I can steal the expression that the man watching this scene is monopolizing.

“… You are such a fool, little brother. ”

“What are you going to say, my other half?”

“So I guess we are each other’s half-gods.”

And so that I can show that I am a person who understands my sister much better than Raoul Bergé. So that I can replace that man and become my sister’s half-god.

But my sister died. Without seeing me grow up. Without knowing that I could compete with my sister in whistle blows. It turned into a cold corpse.

And that too, in the hands of Raoul Bergé, whom my sister loved so much. By the hands that were holding each other affectionately. He met death by the same hand he had happily crossed his fingers with.

“I couldn’t see it clearly yet… I couldn’t see it right in front of me…!”

The bright smile of my sister who met her match… was now right in front of my nose.

The day when I could happily walk face to face with that perfect older sister was just around the corner.

Raoul Berge, you took that away. My family, my support, my goals, and my love.

Raoul Bergé. That man was the man who took it all away.

Only I can kill that man. Only I could kill that man, and it had to be me who killed that man.

That is why they tried to kill Master by selling his name. He also said: We should not choose any means or methods to achieve our goal.

But I couldn’t kill it. Because there was still such a huge gap.

In that case, it would have been enough to kill him using other means. Because there are still a lot of them prepared. But before I could take them out, he coughed up blood and collapsed.

I was embarrassed. I knew that I had a chronic illness caused by poison, but I had no idea that I would faint so suddenly.

“This is the worst. You…”

I hated him for making it impossible for me to even achieve revenge. While taking away my sister’s bright smile, I also took away my revenge.

If left as is, Raoul would have died. At the hands of the disease, not me. I couldn’t tolerate that. I couldn’t admit it. I couldn’t let him die.

So, after giving Raoul Berger some painkillers, I plucked some nearby herbs, chewed them with my mouth, and poured them into his mouth.

That’s the only way he can live. Only then will he be able to continue his miserable life. That’s the only way I can kill him.

Because you need me to kill you.

“Leila.”

He started chanting my sister’s name, not mine.

He must have lost consciousness from the intense pain.

“My half body…”

He was a man who did not know the grace that had saved his life.

Just throw it in front of that beastly woman’s house and she will take care of the rest.

Only if you survive like that will I be able to kill you.

Because the empty space in my heart that my sister left is now filled with you.
