Chapter Four:
Sissy Is A Meanie************************************
In my second year of life, I started going on play dates with Princess Nicole. She is my twin sister. She does not seem to get along well with others. So as her older sister, I have taken on the responsibility of remedying this upsetting fact. But as of yet, I have had little success.
When the servants or our nannies are watching, she's almost endearing. But she turns into the spawn of Satan when we are alone. Our speech skills are still horrendous. So half the time, I don't even know what I just said out loud..
With that being said, I often feel as if Sissy is scolding me or cursing me; our playdates usually end. With me crying or screaming in pain. I try my best to endure it. Until I can't take any more of her abuse. As she gets more bold, she's resorted to pulling hair, scratching, hitting, and, worst of all, pinches that bruise nearly instantly.
I think Lizzy truly dislikes Sissy for this behavior. Lizzy often tries to prevent me from having another play date with Sissy. But I refuse to give up on her. sticks and stones or whatnot. I will not give up on her.
Though I say that, Lizzy managed to keep us separated for a long while. That is, until we crossed paths in the garden. Sissy began screaming at me as soon as she saw me. In the language of my past life. It appears that she has already declared me her enemy. And she apparently sees me as an obstacle in her way; she decided she wants the crown.
As she charged in my direction. I pleaded and confessed that I had no desire to become queen. This seemed to calm her down and alleviate some of her violent tendencies. It seemed, partly due to shock, from the fact that I understood her. While I don't think she believed me, in time I'll leave her with no other choice!
Of course, I can see why she wouldn't, but I truly have no interest in being a princess, much less the queen. I want a peaceful life. Being in charge is definitely not right for me. I'm curious as to why she knows the Tongue of my past life. But it would seem that we both have decided it is a question best left to imagination. At least for now.
Honestly, the whole princess thing is too much. People being so friendly upon first meeting me is unnerving. Enough without the awkward, overly flattering bits. Yes, I'm aware. I'm absolutely adorable. It's almost insulting that you seem so shocked by this fact. Okay, I'll admit I've developed quite the ego. Who wouldn't, with the first thing out of everyone's mouth being along that line?
I don't need the additional fuel for my ego or the paranoia that they are lying or possibly mocking me. I mean, it's hard enough without worrying about ulterior motives. That others might carry in their heads. So, I'll gladly step aside if she wants to take on the role of crown princess. But on the other hand, what if my sister is a villainess? It could come back to haunt me. She sort of gives off that vibe.
Also, although this is a bit off-topic, someone should inform Yuri that twins do not have to be identical or of the same gender. I had to think about what I asked for exactly for quite some time. As I now see it, I bear the tiniest bit of blame here. But, to be honest, I did not think it needed to be explained. This is a straightforward and obvious fact. And how exactly did this misunderstanding not raise any follow-up questions?
I wanted a sibling with whom I could easily connect, so I chose a twin. And well, sisters are supposed to easily form an unconditional, loving relationship with their family. But it would seem I was misled, or she really is a villain. because she is not the kind, joyful, and loving sister I was promised by all those stories.
So basically, I got the polar opposite of what I wanted and lost my manhood in the process. I would be furious if it changed anything. However, it appears that I am stuck like this, and Yuri is ignoring me. At this point, starting over again isn't an option for me, regardless.
To make matters worse, it would seem that controlling this tiny body is next to impossible. I mean, seriously, since I regained the ability to walk. It has done nothing but get me in trouble. Lizzy frequently scolds me for running off without her. I don't even realize I'm doing it until she catches me. But by then, I'm already in trouble.
Even a princess can get punished. This is one of the most disappointing parts of my title. It would seem I am already bearing high expectations that I have severely fallen short on. Lizzy's look of disapproval is honestly worse than spending the rest of the day in my room without toys.
I'm serious with the affection she's given me and her efforts to raise me these last 2 years. The thought of disappointing her is enough to make me want to cry. Along with ruining my mood the rest of the week. When she gives me that hurtful glare, it leaves me heartbroken. I try my best not to repeat my mistakes. Alas, I'll be thinking about Sissy or somewhere I want to go in the palace, and before I know it, I'll be in that place. Completely neglecting to give Lizzy proper notice.
I hope you enjoyed!
