The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

Reina Artin, or rather, the girl who became Reina Skylord, greeted her first morning at the Duke of Skyroad.

‘It’s fluffy.’

Raina wakes up from the soft bed, out of habit, early in the morning.

Her current time is six o’clock, which is usually a little early for a girl from a noble family who is her age.

It was because most of the girls who lead a regular life wake up after 7 o’clock.

‘I need to check yesterday’s work… Ah!’

And Reina, out of habit, tried to find out what happened yesterday.

She starts her day every day by checking to see if William has had an accident. It was

But as time passed, she woke up from her sleep, and the haze she had just woken up went away, and she remembered that she was no longer the Duke of Artin, but within the Duke of Skyroad.

‘Ah, this was the Duke of Skyroad….’

When Reina remembered that the place she was in was the Duke of Skyroad, she was at first unfamiliar with what to do.

The room assigned to her was a good room for a princess from the Duke of Skyroad, and it was better than the room assigned to her from the Duke of Artin, if not better.

She also said that she would come running to her maids whenever she called.

Even the maids who worked the night shift were paid night shifts and even existed separately, showing how deeply the Duke and Duchess of Skyroad care for their children.

‘What should I do?’

But paradoxically, Raina was worried about what she should do now.

Every time William Artin had an accident while acting outrageously, she dealt with it, and repeatedly wrote letters of apology to the victims or visited them and apologized in person.

The only thing that happened recently was to visit Theodore and YuRia and have a brief chat with them, gaining peace of mind.

‘Theodore’s brother and Yuria’s sister… How are you?’

Reina was worried about the two of them staying in the Britannia Empire, but it was the two’s choice to stay behind.

The two of them would be able to overcome any problem.

‘I’m sure everyone is sleeping right now, right?’

Through the clock in her room, Reina knew that it was just past 6 in the morning.

That was when she got out of bed, thinking that since everyone would be sleeping face to face at this time, she should be careful not to wake the others.

The door opened slightly.

“hehehe~ Reina… You woke up early~”

A girl of outstanding beauty with dazzling blonde hair staggered inside.

“Sister Judy?”

It was Judith Skyroad.

“Yes.”

Reina didn’t take her trouble when she entered her own room without knocking on her.

She still had to notice herself, but it was because Judith’s condition didn’t look very good right now.

Looking like he was staggering with a sleepy face, he seemed insane.

‘Is Judy sister sleepwalking?’

I thought about that for a moment, but seeing that the maids waiting near her were perplexed, it seemed that she had already given an order.

After quietly closing the door, Judith lay down on Raina’s bed in her nightgown and then hugged her around the waist.

“Reina~ My younger sister~ hehehe~ I have a younger sister…”

The appearance of Judith, a sleepy sleeper, was definitely not normal.

However, even as Reina was embarrassed by the fact that she was revealing a deep affection for her unconsciously, she couldn’t shake off her hand.

“Reina~ I wanted to sleep with Reina~ I slept separately~ I hate it~ Cool~”

Then, when Judith, who hugged Rayna by the waist and muttered a word in her unusual voice, fell into a deep sleep, Raina was in an awkward situation.

‘Oh, what should I do?’

I couldn’t get up because I was holding her by the waist.

If I woke her sleeping Judith, she would apologize and let go of her arm, but she was sorry to wake her sleeping Judith while showing favor to herself like this.

For the same reason, she forcibly undid her arm, but she couldn’t do anything about it because she was afraid she would wake up.

‘I’ll just lie down.’

Although it’s a little tight at the end of her bed, Rayna carefully lays down next to her Judith.

‘This is the first time.’

It seemed like the first time I’d ever laid down in bed with someone like this.

In the Duke of Artin, instead of sleeping in the arms of his parents, he always lay down and slept by himself.

When she was very young, her nannies were always there, but she was always alone when she slept, and that was natural.

She never thought that sleeping alone was scary because it was so natural.

It was more terrifying than just imagining waking up and thinking about what else William might have had.

“Ehh. Huh?”

After about 40 minutes, Judith opened her eyes.

Reina, still in her arms, was lying on her back with her back turned to her.

“Reina?”

After about a minute, Judith called Raina’s name, as if she had lost her sleep.

“Oh, Judy. Are you awake?”

Since Judith is now up, Rayna stands up as she slowly removes Judith’s weak arm.

Then, she greeted me with a smile.

“Good morning.”

“Yes, good morning. But why am I here…ah.”

Judith glanced at Rayna to see if she remembered anything, then handed her an apology.

“I-I’m sorry…Were you surprised?”

“No, Judy.”

“Yeah, I’m sorry. I came here with Reina after a long time, but I couldn’t sleep with her. I was so sad and sorry that I couldn’t sleep until dawn… So I guess I did this because I was in a daze.”

“It’s okay.”

Raina smiled slightly at Judith, she said.

“That makes her rather happy to know that she likes me.”

“Re, Reina.”

Judith looked at her with her slightly moved expression.

Her older sister, now a new member of the family who is a year older than her, was loved and raised. Judith would be shocked if she heard it, but she felt more like a younger sister than an older sister.

“It’s my first time here and there are a lot of things I don’t know, so I hope unnie will help me a lot.”

“Yeah! Leave it to her sister! This sister will do everything she can to help Reina accept this place as her home and adapt!”

Judith said confidently, as if telling her to trust only herself.

Seeing her like that, Reina just laughed.

‘As expected, Judy is the brightest sister.’

Raina thought that this older sister would always be as bright as she is now.

Because she always makes herself laugh whenever she shows off her bright demeanor.

As much as Raina, it was nice to see Judith show her bright side.

“Yes, let’s wash our face first and go eat breakfast!”

“Tax demand?”

“Yes. You can have the maids do it, but it’s cumbersome, so I just do it… Do you need Reina by any chance? Shall we call the maids?”

“No. I’d rather just do it alone.”

“Yes! Let’s do it together with my sister!”

Judith was smiling brightly and happily even while washing her face together with Rayna.

She had a crazy expression because she loved Reina so much, but Reina, who was receiving this kind of gaze for the first time, felt awkward but loved that gaze.

It was a completely different part from the affectionate eyes Theodore and Yuria sent to him.

‘Judy might be heartbroken if she hears it… ‘

Theodore and Yuria’s affection filled Reina’s sense of loss, who wanted to receive her affection from her proper brother or sister rather than from her wretch brother William.

And unlike the two, Judith’s affection was filling Reina’s sense of loss, who wanted to receive the unconditional love she hadn’t properly received from her real parents, the Duke and Duchess of Artin, who showed her missteps at every important moment.

“If you set this and turn it, warm water comes out, so let’s wash your face with this.”

“Yes.”

The function to adjust the water temperature in the washbasin was also present in the Duke of Artin, so Reina was not unfamiliar with it.

After she washed her face with warm water, it was time for her to go to breakfast.

“Oh, sister~ You can’t run like this!”

Rayna was caught and forced to run by Judith’s hand as she ran down the aisle.

Reina, who has always kept her word to be discreet, never imagined she would run in the hallway.

But Judith was different.

“Wait a minute~”

Judith, who had already been told countless times by Theodore not to run in her hallway, couldn’t stop at Reina’s words.

Thanks to her, Reina ran to the dining room where she had breakfast and felt a little sweaty.

“Oops, Judy. Did you run again?”

“Ugh, Mom.”

And her mother, the Duchess of Skylord, found out about her like this.

She said, looking at Judith with a stern expression on her face.

“How many times do Theo and Mama tell you? Judy, don’t run inside the house. What if you fall and hurt yourself? And then you take Rayna with you to run. Can you take responsibility if her sister gets hurt?”

“Ugh, that’s…”

Judith looked at Rayna and gave her an apologetic look.

She probably said that if she was her usual self, even if she listened to her admonishment when she saw her personality or her cheerful mood, she would have said “I might do it again next time~” And she would have jokingly skipped it. .

But perhaps because Reina herself was involved, she was accepting this admonition more deeply than usual.

“I’m sorry, Raina. I’m so excited to be running with her sister… I’m so sorry.”

Raina read the emotion in her eyes when Judith handed her her apology.

It was a sense of responsibility.

She was starting to feel responsible for herself as her older sister.

‘I don’t need to feel responsible for something like this.’

While thinking that, Reina smiled as well.

“I was excited because it was my first time running with my sister. And it’s the first time I’ve deviated like this.”
