Chapter 6

When she gave the order to the servant, Sandra cried out with a shocked expression.

“Honey! What on earth are you—”

“Dana is right.”

However, Karl seemed to have steeled his resolve and spoke firmly.

“As Dana’s guardian, and as Alice’s father, I have a duty to discipline Alice sternly.”

A moment later, Karl gripped the rod that the servant had brought.

“Alice. You need to hold out your palm right now.”

“D-Dad.”

Alice’s face showed she couldn’t believe this reality at all.

Hold out my palm?

I’ve grown up without ever being scolded by Dad, but now…

“What are you doing instead of holding out your palm?”

But he’s going to hit me?

Mom and Dad knew I was secretly meeting His Highness the Crown Prince!

“Hic, hiccup.”

Alice reluctantly held out her palm. The moment she spread it, smack! A sharp strike of the rod came flying.

“Kyaah!”

It hurts!

Alice writhed from the pain she was experiencing for the first time in her life. However.

“Spread your palm properly, Alice.”

“D-Dad, hic, i-it hurts…”

“Quickly.”

“Hic, sob, hic.”

Alice held out her palm again while sobbing. Then smack! Another sharp pain fell like a whip.

“Karl! Please, please stop!”

How many more strikes had fallen? Sandra, unable to watch anymore, pulled Alice into her arms.

“Please stop! What if Alice, my daughter, dies!”

“…”

Karl bit his lips tightly.

Did he want to hit his daughter?

But since he was doing it anyway, he had to do it properly. Only then would Dana’s anger be appeased!

“What are you doing right now?”

That’s when it happened.

“Sister Alice, Uncle, Aunt. What are you doing right now?”

When had he come in?

A blonde boy stood at the door with a shocked expression.

“What on earth are you…”

The boy looked in turn at Alice and Sandra’s tear-stained faces, and then at Karl holding the rod.

“…Did that woman make you do this?”

Finally, he glared at Dana.

“Because Sister Alice met His Highness the Crown Prince?”

“Hmm.”

Karl cleared his throat.

“Alice deceived Dana. So I’m just disciplining Alice as her guardian.”

“Ha.”

The blonde boy let out a hollow laugh as if he couldn’t believe it, then soon nodded his head.

“Stop that and leave now, Uncle.”

“But…”

Karl glanced at Dana.

Dana spoke quietly with an unreadable expression.

“Do as Noah says, Uncle.”

As if they had been waiting, Alice and Sandra left the room. Karl also glanced at Dana before slipping out.

Click. The moment the door closed.

“Are you in your right mind?”

The boy approached aggressively.

“Who are you to make Sister Alice like that?”

Dana’s head was throbbing. She could see what was going to happen next.

“You’re really shameless.”

As expected.

“Who are you to make Sister Alice kneel?”

As expected, the criticism was beginning.

“You seem to have no conscience.”

The blonde boy strode over and poked her forehead with his finger.

“Do you think you have the right to do that?”

At that moment, Dana frowned at the strong smell of alcohol that wafted over.

“Did you drink alcohol in broad daylight?”

“What if I did? Are you going to nag me again?”

The boy smiled insolently and spoke sarcastically.

“Ah, that’s right, you liked playing the role of my sister, didn’t you?”

“…”

“Why are you interfering? Do you think you’re really my sister just because you’re inside my sister’s body?”

Dana silently stared at the boy.

Noah Windsor.

Danae Windsor’s younger brother.

This seventeen-year-old boy was truly beautiful.

With platinum hair like sunlight and a face like a wax doll. Like all Windsor family bloodline, Noah also had delicate and beautiful features.

Yes, the Windsor bloodline.

The Windsor family members she had loved so much.

‘I was mistaken all this time.’

A new realization washed over her.

They’re not my family. They’re Danae’s family.

‘They could never be mine from the beginning.’

I just possessed this body, but I thought of this body’s family as my own family.

So Noah is right.

“No.”

In the past, she would have nagged him. Right now, Noah had clearly skipped the Military Academy and been drinking.

But now…

“I won’t interfere, so don’t worry, Noah.”

At those words, Noah’s face contorted with anger. However, he soon snorted, thinking it was just bravado.

“Apologize to Sister Alice too. Who are you to dare make my sister cry?”

“That would be difficult. Alice did something terribly wrong to me.”

“What did Sister Alice do so wrong? Ah, did she steal your boyfriend?”

“You knew?”

“Yes. But so what.”

“…”

“You stole my sister’s body. Is stealing her lover really such a grave sin?”

“….”

In that moment, Dana realized anew.

I had become far too absorbed in this family charade.

‘So let’s stop this.’

Until now, she had accepted everything Noah threw at her, whether attacks or insults. She had endured it all.

Because she wanted Noah to like her.

Because she wanted to be accepted as family. Because she wanted to become a real sister.

But now she knew.

All of that was nothing but an illusion.

“Keep your rudeness in check, Noah Windsor.”

Noah’s face stiffened in apparent shock. It was the first time he had heard such a voice from Dana.

“Did I say something wrong? It’s true that you’ve taken residence in my sister’s body.”

“Well.”

Dana slowly tilted her head.

“I wonder if you, Noah, have the right to say such things.”

“What did you say?”

“Is it okay for you to say that after holding me back when I tried to leave?”

That’s right.

Three years ago, when she said she would open the Dimensional Gate and leave.

The night before, Noah had come to her and held her back.

“Don’t go.”

“Noah?”

“Don’t go, I said! Don’t leave!”

He had come with a flushed red face and shouted irritably. Then he ran away without even waiting for an answer.

That had been unexpected.

Ever since she confessed to being a possessor, Noah had always despised her.

For such a boy to hold her back…

‘So I thought there might be feelings of affection for me in Noah’s heart.’

That’s why she had always wondered.

If you held me back when I tried to leave, why do you criticize me like this…

“Ah, that.”

Finally, Noah gave her an answer to that question.

“That was just a joke.”

“….”

“I never thought you’d actually believe that joke and stay.”

I see.

You played a joke with my life.

‘As expected, I was the fool.’

Dana held back the laughter that threatened to burst out.

Could there be such a foolish idiot in this world.

She was truly fortunate to realize her foolishness, even if it was now.

“Why? Don’t tell me you thought I held you back because I liked you?”

Yes. I did.

I actually thought you liked me.

“You’re inside my sister’s body. So how could I possibly like you…”

The next moment, Noah’s words trailed off.

His finger.

Dana had gently grasped the finger that had been pointing at her shoulder.
