"Does anywhere else other than your cheek hurt as well?"
Coventina asked in concern, putting some medicine on the red mark on her cheek

"Nope! Don't worry too much Coventina! It's just a slap, nothing serious!"
Alina smiles in response while Coventina sighs

'This is why you should be the one to take the role of the light. Your heart is pure unlike mine'
Her face slightly darkens as she continues to patch up Alina's cheek

"That should be it now..we should be going soon. Uncle informed me earlier that we will be leaving in a bit"
Alina grabs her sleeve as she was about to leave the room

"Hm?"

"Coventina...sister...can you tell me more about the plan later in the manor?"
Alina asked, her eyes similar to a puppy's

"...alright, I'll tell mom to also give you some important details as well"
She pats her twin's head as both left the room to go to their Uncle

"Let's go girls"


It will only be just in a matter of time. A month before Cosette will be revealed to the Parvis...

Keira has worked hard on her reputation. Known to be a prodigy at such a young age. Loved by the servants of the manor as well as having even a slight favor from the Grand Duke

Her reputation rose when she first went outside of the Dukedom to participate to the Princess's birthday. Where she met many young ladies who looked up to her

Meanwhile, the twins worked hard as well. They were patient and also discreet about their actions if they went outside the estate

It's been many years...In a month, not only will Cosette be revealed...but also Alina

"Are you really planning on introducing me the same day Cosette will be as well?"
Coventina sighs as it was the 100th time Alina asked her that

It was a bit annoying, but she can understand

'Alina simply has a small grudge towards Cosette thanks to my efforts'
It was hard, but worth it. Alina was just too kind that it took her so many tactics just to dislike her a bit

"But...I'm so excited thought Coventina! I'll also finally be able to see Kiera more often!"
She exclaims in joy at the idea

Both twins were at Alina's room where she received a letter from Kiera

"Looks like Keira had found a boy she...likes?"
Alina got extremely grossed out at her letter. Full contents about the man who defended her when she went somewhere her subordinate took her as an excuse to have some fun

"Eh? No way! I bet that guy doesn't deserve her!"
Alina grumbles. It was clear that Keira was almost head over heels for the man...but something doesn't seem right...

"Sigh...too bad we can't just go to the Dukedom like before"
Coventina lays herself on the bed

Alina glanced at her before she finally gets up the said bed. She walked towards the wardrobe and opens it
