The thought about how I supposed to tell my sister about her fiancé incoming make me feel complicated. More or less, this news obviously will make my sister sad, because I know how she feels about her fiancé. But not to tell her also seems not right, if she knows her fiancé will come maybe she will make preparation, at least prepared mentally for it.After considering pro and cons about this situation, finally, I decide to tell her about this.
"Henry…why you suddenly go silent? Is there something else on your thought? Tell your sister if there something bother your mind"
My sister noticed I no longer laugh and thinking about something which incites her curiosity.
"Well, actually I still thinking if I should tell you about this or not"
"Hmm? What is that Henry? Just tell me…what do you worry about?"
"It"s you that I"m worried about sis. I don"t want to spoil your happiness but this matter also can"t be neglected"
My sister looks at me in the eyes, when she sees a serious look on my face, she also takes a serious expression on her face.
"Henry….tell me, what bad news you bring this time"
"When I having a conversation this morning with father, a guard from east border fort comes and bring a report"
I paused for a moment to see my sister reaction
"East border fort…..you mean…he…."
"Yes, your fiancé will come in the near future"
My sister isn"t stupid, she already knows what it means if news from east border fort delivered to the castle. Her shock can"t hide from her face. She stands up from her seat, walks to and fro around her room. Her anxious, worries, grievance, sorrow, and depressed feeling can be seen mixed in her expression.
"What should do…. I don"t want to see him…I don"t want to see his face…"
She"s uttering those words while keeping walks around her room.
"Sis, calm down….is he so scary that you unwilling to meet him? Tell me how he treats you when he visits you before, sis"
I stand up from my seat and hold her shoulder to calm her. My sister looks at me and suddenly she throws herself to my chest and cry
"Waa…*sob*…Henry…*sob*…I"m scared…*sob*…"
I let my sister finish her cry while hugging her back and try to comfort her by caressing her hairs. After crying for several minutes, finally her cries subside and only some sobs come from her mouth. I lead her to sit on her bed because she"s not letting her arms off from my chest.
"Sis… Don"t be scared…I"m here and will protect you from anyone who wants to harm you"
My sister lifts her head and looks me in the eyes with her teary eyes. I take my handkerchief to wipe the tears from her cheek and remove the snot from her nose.
"Look…I"m here…no one can"t do any harm in here. Now, calm your mind and tell me what makes you scared"
MY sister nod and start to explain the cause of her fear
"Henry…you know I dislike that Roland Easton very much"
"Yes, I know that. May I know what he"s always doing every time he visits you?"
"Mmm…usually he only takes me to hear his blabbering bulls.h.i.t about our engagement, like "you should grateful to me, an earl Son willing to marry an ugly girl from low-rank n.o.bles"…or "your family should respect me because got the honor to marry their daughter to high n.o.bles son"…he always talks rubbish like that about hours before leaves with his guards to town and spends his time in bar and brothel there"
"Oh? Then you just listen to his c.r.a.ps like usual, since he only takes you to talk"
"I"m scared Henry! You said I already look better than before. I"m afraid after he sees me, he not just take me to hear his bulls.h.i.t but also do something lewd to me. Imagining that already makes me feel gooseb.u.mps and want to puke. I don"t want his filthy finger touch even an inch of my skin, Henry"
I can see her fear is reasonable. Like what she said, she indeed much better than when I see her for the first time I live in this world. Although she"s still not in her ideal weight, her face already looks much better than before. I pat her back to comfort her
"Don"t worry sis, actually I also already talk about this matter with father this morning. He said I allowed finding a way to break your engagement with him. And that"s what I intended to do when I see him"
My sister looks at me with a scared expression on her face.
"Henry! He"s a dangerous person…please to make trouble with him. I"m afraid something bad happens to you again like before"
Huh? Her words sound like she knows about the accident that happens to previous Henry caused by her fiancé.
"Sis? What do you say? So you know my previous accident is not an ordinary accident?"
My sister crying again…this time her cry is harder and sorrowful than before. That makes me confused even more
"Sorry, Henry *sob*….I"m really sorry *sob*…I didn"t mean to harm you…*sob* Huaaaaaaa…"
It needs a long time before she can stop her crying. While waiting for her cry to subside, I"m thinking about the meaning for her words. My sister wouldn"t conspire with her fiancé to injure me, right?
"Sis.. I"m really confused. Could you explain to me what happens?"
I ask her when she no longer crying
"Sorry…really sorry Henry…I never thought he will make you injured like that…*sob*"
"You mean…my accident is caused by him, sis? Are you sure? How do you know?"
"Please forgive me, Henry…I really don"t mean to make you get that accident"
"Hold on…you make me more confused, sis. Can you explain to me from the beginning please?"
"Um…the day before you going out for mine inspection, he comes to visit me. He saw the horses that prepared in the front yard and asking me what that horse prepared for. I tell him that you will be going out for inspection, and he doesn"t say anything after that. He only talks rubbish for a short time, much shorter than usual and going out to town with his guards. Usually, after spending some time in town he will come again and talk rubbish again, but that time he not return to the castle. I feel a bit relieved since he does not come to see again but after that, …you had an accident. I start suspecting he must be the one who responsible for that accident and I blame myself because it was me who told him that you will go out. I keep that feeling until now….you can angry to me, you even can hit me if you want, you can hate me too but please forgive me Henry….Huaaaa"
My sister starts crying again. After hearing what she just said, I understand now. So she feels guilty because her information leads me to that accident. I pat her back again and comfort her
"Hey hey…how come I angry with you sis, and hit a woman? Please, I will never hit a woman, moreover, that woman is my own sister. Please don"t blame yourself, my beloved sister. I"m alright now and since that accident, I feel my head work even better, maybe I can call that blessing in disguise? If there"s someone to blame, just blame to your fiancé, not yourself sis"
Well, if Henry did not have an accident, maybe I will never reincarnate in here for the first time. Maybe I should thank her instead because her information gives me a second chance to live. But I can"t tell her like that, right?
"Please say you forgive me, Henry….I know I should tell you earlier about this but I"m too scared"
"Alright alright…I forgive you, sis. Just stop crying and forget that thing ever happen to you, okay?"
My sister stops her cry and looks at me
"Really? You"re not angry with me? You did not hate me?"
"If I angry or hate you…I will not hug you so close like this, right? You"re my own sister…someone that precious to me, how can I hate or angry with you, sis? Please stop your cry and start smile again"
My sister tries to stop her cry and smile. Watching her face that full with tears tries to smile looks very funny which make me almost laugh. But I hold my urge to laugh and wipe her tears with my handkerchief. She looks much better after she told what burdening her mind, it seems she no longer burden with her guilty feeling to me.
