Chapter 221
* * *
“Adel, Adel. Look at this. I have nine medals.”
I spun around in place with a triumphant expression.
“Miss. Please stop spinning. You’ll get dizzy.”
Adel quickly grabbed my hand while unable to hide her pleased smile.
“It suits you so well. To think you’d wear the Grand Duchess’s formal attire so perfectly…”
Just as Adel was getting emotional and tearing up slightly, the sound of running footsteps could be heard from far down the corridor.
The speed was like a dog running…
“Wow! They say clothes make the man? Hyung, look at her! She’s finally reached a level where I won’t be embarrassed to call her my younger sister!”
Leon Frazier, who had run over at lightning speed, circled around me in admiration.
“Ugh!”
Just as Leon clutched his solar plexus, Lisian also walked over and greeted me.
“Tulia.”
“Older Brother! Did you sleep well?”
“Yes.”
I smiled at Lisian, then suddenly noticed that the maids were exchanging meaningful glances.
If I were to interpret their looks, it would be something like this:
‘Hey. There’s an incredibly handsome man passing by 50 meters ahead.’
‘Crazy! He’s not just handsome!’
The reason the maids were exchanging glances more actively than usual was because of the twins’ attire.
They had also dressed up carefully and formally for the Grand Duchess investiture, and Leon Frazier in particular seemed to have captured the hearts of many maids.
‘Well, Lisian is always neat, but Leon is always like a wild colt. His dressed-up appearance is quite rare.’
Looking at Leon Frazier with his raven-black hair neatly combed back.
‘Indeed, a man’s appearance is this important!’
“Tulia Frazier.”
Leon Frazier immediately put on an arrogant expression.
“You look totally smitten. I must be too perfect and cool today.”
‘Forget about appearances…’
I immediately shook my head vigorously.
“Get a grip, Leon Frazier. Older Brother Lisian is incomparably cooler than you.”
“She’s really discriminating again.”
Leon Frazier glared at me, but I didn’t care.
“You’re the most… pretty. Tulia.”
“Older Brother is like an archangel. Let’s go.”
I smiled brightly and extended my hand to Lisian.
Then Lisian blinked and smiled so widely that dimples appeared.
Whether that winter fairy-like rare silver hair was cheating, or that absolute beauty was cheating.
Or maybe it was just the real male lead’s buff that was cheating – my vision was so dazzling I couldn’t come to my senses.
“Investiture… congratulations.”
With a gentle voice, Lisian lightly bowed at the waist.
His left hand behind his back, his right hand extended like a gentleman – his appearance was perfect enough to be put in a textbook.
His balanced face and soft, loving gaze.
‘What an insane face.’
If the sun disappeared from the world today, couldn’t we just hang Lisian’s face in the sky…
At least the women would have a brilliant appearance to help them endure the bitter cold…
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he had captured almost every woman’s heart here at once.
“Older Brother Lisian.”
I spoke reverently with a worshipful heart.
“The person who marries Older Brother will be the happiest person in the world.”
“Me too…”
“Hm?”
“You, when I see you.”
Lisian smiled warmly.
“I have those… thoughts. Tulia.”
“…!”
“Let’s go.”
I followed beside Lisian like someone intoxicated, unable to come to my senses.
‘Phew. Coriko in was lucky.’
She got to have real love, not forbidden love, with such a man and monopolize him.
“No, this is really ridiculous.”
I heard a low growling voice beside me. Leon Frazier snatched my other hand and threw a tantrum.
“I’m also their blood relative, you know? Is it fun isolating only me? Huh?”
“Be quiet. And I have a higher title than you now, you know? Use honorifics with me from now on.”
“What? Wow.”
Leon Frazier looked truly wronged.
“You didn’t say that to hyung! What’s the difference between hyung and me? Huh?”
“Older Brother Lisian is a gentleman.”
“What about me?”
“My subordinate…?”
“Hey!”
We went downstairs laughing merrily.
In the Great Hall, servants were already lined up standing at attention.
“Tulia. The formal attire suits you very well.”
“Thank you, Your Grace the Grand Duke.”
When Grandfather smiled broadly, Father also patted my head beside him.
I gave Father several compliments too, then shifted my gaze. It was because of the clicking sound of heels.
“Have you come, Hyacin… Coriko.”
“Grandfather. Coriko is here.”
Coriko bowed her head, looking a bit thinner than before.
“There’s no need to greet me so formally. Come down.”
“Yes.”
Grandfather had granted me the title of Grand Duchess, and had also agreed to change Coriko’s name to Coriko, but his heart for caring about his deceased eldest daughter’s child was still sincere.
Because of this, Coriko’s dress had become much more splendid, and I heard that many gifts had been sent in the family head’s name.
If Coriko had really been the daughter of my deceased aunt Hyacinthia, Grandfather would have been less heartbroken.
If that were the case, I wouldn’t have asked Grandfather to change her name either.
‘Of course, the Grand Duchess title… honestly, I coveted it, so it might have been a bit regrettable to give up.’
I was now ranked above Father, who is a Marquis!
Thinking about the accompanying salary and territory, I, the embodiment of greed, simply couldn’t resist.
Most importantly.
“Older Sister Tulia has her older brothers escorting her. Then I…”
Coriko’s eyes turned toward Father and Grandfather. However, Father seemed to pay no attention.
Yes, Father was originally that kind of person. Grandfather cleared his throat.
‘Since it’s my investiture, he’s probably worried that people will gossip if he takes on Coriko’s escort.’
Meanwhile, Tedrick was following from far behind, fidgeting nervously like a court attendant of slightly higher rank.
It seemed Coriko didn’t rely on Tedrick as much as expected.
‘I suppose that’s only natural.’
The most harmonious scene here would be me offering one of the twins to Coriko, or generously giving her both to use.
So I approached her.
“Coriko.”
According to Adel, the maids assigned to care for Coriko pitied her and treated her very well, and indeed.
She was perfectly adorned without a single flaw.
Coriko, wearing Han Ina’s face, looked at me. She didn’t stare at me with those lifeless eyes like that day. I extended my hand and said.
“I’ll escort you, let’s go.”
“What? Oh…”
I took Coriko’s hand and walked forward. Leon looked at me like a dog that had been chasing chickens, while Lisian simply smiled.
Father seemed somewhat displeased, and Grandfather had an almost imperceptibly pleased look in his eyes.
“Your hands are cold.”
“Oh… I think it’s because I put my hands in cold water a lot when I was young…”
“They’re just like corpses.”
“…”
“I’m joking. Look ahead. You need to walk.”
Coriko, who had been following silently, called out to me.
“Older Sister.”
It was a very small, low voice.
“Do others know that Older Sister torments me like this?”
My steps slowed slightly, and I soon turned to look at her. It was still awkward.
When would Han Ina’s face that Coriko was wearing come off?
‘No, will it even come off?’
“Of course they don’t know.”
I also whispered very quietly.
“I’m secretly tormenting you like this, so how would they know?”
“…”
“Let’s go. You’re the Saint, aren’t you? If you’re late, the High Priests will be sad.”
“…Yes. Tulia Older Sister.”
I turned my gaze forward and reflected on the text I had just seen.
Name: Coriko
Age: Unmeasurable
Characteristics: Wearing your mask.
Reason: To kill you and become you
