I Became the Wife of a Monstrous Crown Prince (PART 2)

45

Diana’s face had changed and she had lost her baby fat.

Her gentle eyes had become a little sharper, and she was also taller.

She changed a lot, but I could still recognize my sister at a glance.

“Sister!”

Diana ran to me and gave me a big hug. I hugged my younger sister, whom I finally met after a long time. I was surprised by the force she put into the hug.

“Sister! Are you really sister? Are you really my older sister?”

“Yes, it’s me. I’m back, Diana.”

“Uwaa! S-s-sister. Uwaaa! Sister!”

I could feel the sadness and loneliness she had experienced in her cries.

“I’m sorry, don’t cry. Don’t cry, Diana.”

“Yes, I won’t cry, Uwaa! Sister. Uwaa!”

But the more she tried to hold it in, the more she cried.

I gave her a big hug without saying anything.

***

Diana barely managed to calm down after crying for a long time.

I told her about what happened in those 7 years, like I did with Tenstheon.

I spoke about my time inside the door of darkness brightly and said that it wasn’t too hard. I didn’t know how much time had passed. Diana quietly nodded her head.

I didn’t think she believed me completely, but she didn’t ask me to explain more.

I appreciated her consideration even though she must’ve been very curious.

My Diana, she really has grown up.

I held her hand tightly as I looked at the grown up Diana.

“Sister, why do you look so thin? Look at your slender wrists.”

I did look thinner than before but it was not that serious.

The Imperial doctor examined me just in case, and he said I was healthy.

Also, I had even more power of light than before, so I felt quite healthy.

“Your cheeks are chubby, but your fingers are all bones.”

Diana began to cry again. Physically, she had grown up, but she looked exactly the same as when she was a kid when she cried.

“I’m fine. I heard it’s exam season. How did you do on your test? Aren’t we going to see each other tomorrow?”

The test was important for her graduation score.

So I begged everyone to not let her know that I was back until the test was over, but it seems that she still found out.

“Jayden told me. Brother-in-law also called me. They said I should pay attention in my studies and told me to come after the test. But that didn’t make sense! My sister is here, and I would get distracted from my test instead!”

She raised her voice. I guess she was still getting along well with Jayden. I was worried that she would lose all of her friends after taking two years off from the academy, but I was mistaken.

“The test is important too. It’s the result of all your hard work.”

“I’m sorry…”

Tears streamed down Diana’s face. I held her in my arms and asked, “What would you be sorry for?”
