The Hero Proposed to Me

  thought about it on my own.”

Whatever I say, whatever a child says will always sound ridiculous to adults, no matter how serious I am.

In the first place, people only looked at my appearance and didn’t care much about what I was saying.
No matter how serious I am, they will only find my words amusing.

I don’t think anyone ever listened to me, so I didn’t expect Alex to listen to any of my nonsense.

“So, what do you want me to do in the future?”

“I do not know, but shouldn’t you have to live safely? The Crown Prince has to be alive for anything to be possible.”

It’s very risky to be a Prince and a candidate to become a Crown Prince.
In fact, it is said that you will most likely die during the fight for the throne.

But right now I need to introduce Clara’s role properly.

“My sister, she’s an amazing person.”

“Strangely, you’re only passionate when you talk about your sister.”

Damn it.
I got caught.

I couldn’t help but accept that I’d already been caught, so I collected my thoughts and continued speaking about what I wanted to say.

“My sister knows a lot about herbs.
I’m just saying this just in case, but if someone tries to poison you, she can help you.”

“Poison.”

“Poison doesn’t just kill people.
Some grasses can cause stomach ache.”

Louis was particularly interested in Clara’s explanation of how the petals of herbal medicine, where the roots are used as medicine, can also be used as poison.

Sister Clara.
Can you get it for me?

I was curious as to what he planned to do with it, and I realized he’d eat the petal if he had to do something unpleasant, such as attend a tea party with Mother.

The poison in the petals triggers a half-day to a full day of fever and abdominal pain.

Mother would usually take Louis to tea parties.
Since Theo is the next successor and Isaac joined the Knights early, both of them are preoccupied.

I seldom had to leave the mansion because I am a precious daughter.
As a result, Louis, who went to a tea party with Mother, earned the ladies’ quirkiness.

And Louis said that he does not want to attend another tea party after experiencing one.

In the end, Louis intentionally faked his illness just because he didn’t want to go to a tea party with Mother.

“Faking illnesses.
Interesting.”

Clara, despite being a Hogu [1], deserves to be able to use her power.
To sum it up, maintain a close relationship with Clara and seek her support.

Whether they’re dating or just flirting, they’ll do fine on their own as long as they’re together.
I’m not worried about that.

However, because of my greed, I don’t want Clara to become a one-dimensional character who exists solely for the sake of love.

Since you were born as the main character, you have to find love, earn a lot of money, attain honor, succeed at your job, and have everything you want.

As a result, anyone who sees you will gain strength as well.

So, in order to fulfill my ambition of Clara working as a royal pharmacist for the Crown Prince in the future, I deliberately recommended my sister to Alex.

Alex took a close look at me as if I were suspicious of doing something.

“You don’t hate your sister?”

Hate her? Yeah.
That is a possibility.
To be honest, I’m annoyed that she’s such a Hogu and such a nice girl; she’s also taking up so much of my energy.

If it weren’t for Clara, I would have been called the distinguished daughter, not the youngest daughter of Valentine, and would have been highly respected.

But,

“How can I hate her?”

Despite the terrible harassment, Clara never blamed Ciel.

Far from hating her, she cried.
Even at the moment where Alex sentenced Ciel to death, she kept asking for her sister to be saved.

Because I’m her younger sister.

I cried a lot as I watched her try to hide and cover up my wrongdoings.

Sister Clara, how can you still save me?

I wouldn’t have been able to do that.
So, how can people like my older sister be so foolish?

“It’s really sad to lose a family member.
I don’t want to lose my precious sister.”

I, as an adult before entering Ciel’s body, had one older sister.

My parents died early, and my sister and I grew up together in an orphanage.
My older sister, who grew up and became an adult, dedicated herself to becoming a nurse and raising me.

Looking back, my sister was as tactless as Clara.
I hated my sister the most in the world.
