Wilder looked down on his lap with hands clenched and trembled in despair.
My sister, my world's "Anessa", was subject to have an outside soul inhabit her body... did the Anessa I know existed in the first place?
"I have to know something!" Wilder looked up at Anessa abruptly with wild eyes.
"When did you take over my sister's body? Was it the day she was born?! Was the Anessa I have always known a facade?!"
Anessa Rosswald looked straight into Wilder's crazy eyes, seemingly unaffected by his feeling of plight.
"I took over your sister's body after she fell from her horse at 10 years old." She admitted.
"Wh-what?" Wilder uncharacteristically stuttered.
"...Yeah. If you remembered, your sister hit her head on the ground very hard and was in a coma for two weeks, that is when my soul transferred to her body. Once my soul adjusted to her body I had to begin the story.
"Wait...story?" Prince Leopold interrupted with a look of confusion, "What do you mean by that?"
Anessa drank more of her coffee.
"Your world is actually almost similar to something called an 'Otome Game'. An otome game is a game where you can play as a female heroine to acquire love interests and defeat the villainess who gets in their way of love. In your world, I had to take over your Anessa's role in the story in order for me to move on."
"What is my sister's role?" Wilder asked even though he is confused about what she said about this 'otome game ', urging for more explanations.
"Your sister's role is to be a villainess."
"A villainess!!!" The 5 otherworlders yelled out at the same time.
I actually called this Anessa a villainess, Prince Leopold thought, remembering the ballroom incident.
"Yes a villainess, and that is just one type of role I had to partake in my path of surviving different universes."
Wilder than thought hard of everything this Anessa told him.
From the first 10 years of his sister's life, his own Anessa had been normal. Maybe a bit haughty, but never too arrogant or dramatic. But after the horse accident and the two week coma, she changed. "Anessa" started to become demanding and manipulative. When she started the academy, her actions to everyone around her became worse, especially when meeting Prince Leopold and Marianne. She threw a tantrum to have herself engaged to Prince Leopold and bullied Marianne when she believed that the girl was trying to take her fiance away.
Wilder grew to hate his own sister because of her actions.
But his sister never did any of the horrendous things he had witnessed did she?
It was all this Anessa.
The one sitting across from him.
Who is actually not his sister at all.
The sister he knew was gone after the accident, Wilder came to completely realize.
She is gone forever.
Wilder grabbed his hairs on both side of his head and suddenly gave a loud distressing scream across the whole dining room. His friends look at him in shock at his sudden reaction.
"I lost her...I completely lost her....my dear sister..." Wilder mumbled tearfully with his hands covering his face.
Anessa Rosswald is currently good at shocking people.
"This whole time..." Prince Leopold began slowly,"...it was you." Disbelief colored his face.
Anessa just look at him coldly but inside she felt some guilt, even though it was never her intention.
She was just forced into the roles System 0619 had her do in order for her to return back to Earth.
"Yes, Anessa Goldstein, your sister, stopped existing since she was 10." She said. Anessa felt bad about the original soul. She basically stole the original's body and went on with her life.
"T-this can't be true..." Matthias stuttered out and stood abruptly.
"You must be lying!" He slammed his hands on the dining table.
Marianne covered her mouth with her hand in shock. Right now she just doesn't know what to think but she felt sadness for the original Anessa.
"By the Lord, this is hard to take in," said Keenan in disbelief.
In the end, all 5 otherworlders feel one thing at the same time.
Regret.
Regret for thinking that Anessa Goldstein is a terrible person. She had never done any of those horrible things. She was never there to do those things in the first place.
The real Anessa Goldstein was gone since she was 10.
The accident killed her and a stranger took her place.
These kids have now realized the truth.
Anessa Rosswald slammed her mug on the dining table to jolt the 5 otherworlders from wallowing in misery.
"Let's just stop this conversation for now, you guys need to rest." She said, actually in concern for them.
"W-what?" Wilder stuttered out.
"You guys need to rest," Anessa repeated, "Or do something to clear your mind."
"But..." Prince Leopold started.
"Right now, your minds are not in a good place. I will go set up the guest rooms, just stay here for a bit," Anessa than left the dining room.
