Do Your Best and Regret

Chapter 24

Ethella stopped walking. The voice that came through the crack in the door was Conrad. Her maid, seeing Ethella, tried to greet her quickly, but Ethella put her finger to her lips. Her fingertips trembled. Her heart was pounding. She had a bad feeling.

Even though she shouldn't have listened, she walked up to the door of the restaurant.

"We need to bring Olivia back. She came to this house for that purpose, right?"

Conrad's back was visible through the narrow gap in the door. What does this mean that her sister came here to do?

Just like the last time she went to the Princess's tea party, an uneasy feeling swept over her entire body.

"If Ethella goes to be the Crown Princess."

What's the story? Her older sister is the Prince's fiancé. They both love each other, so why is Ethella's story coming out?

"... She will suffer so much that she will die from the Empress's poison. I can't see that."

At Conrad's heavy voice, Ethella reflexively thought of Olivia. Then what about Olivia?

In an instant, Ethella's face turned pale, as if all her blood had drained out. She doesn't know what all this means. Ethella ran blindly toward the room. Suddenly someone grabbed Ethella's shoulder. Surprised, Ethella looked behind her. It was Jade.

"Brother Jade."

"What's the matter. What's going on?"

In an instant, Ethella lost all her strength. Jade shouted, firmly holding on to the limp Ethella.

"Are you okay? Doctor! Call the doctor!"

The employees scattered in perfect order. In that situation, Jade faced Ethella's white face. What is happening? There was no color in Ethella's face.

Shit. Jade was about to take Olivia to the Grand Duke's residence, but Ethella was more urgent.

Ethella had been weak since she was young, and her family was always worried.

"Let's go to bed first. Aren't you dizzy?"

"Brother."

"Huh? Say it..."

"No, it's not true right?"

Ethella's voice was desperate. However,  Jade could not immediately understand what she said without the subject.

"What?"

"Sister..."

Jade, who was walking towards Ethella's room, stopped. Either way, Ethella's voice trembled.

"She didn't have a hard time because of the Empress, right?"

Jade gritted his molars. It was something he had never thought deeply about. If the Empress were an aristocratic woman to her core, she would have tormented Olivia as much as she could.

"...I don't know."

But whether that was true or not had nothing to do with Jade. Ethella's eyes became bright.

"Tell me you're lying."

"You have a fever."

"Then what does it mean that the Crown Princess was originally my place?"

At that moment, Jade's eyes trembled violently.

She couldn't believe it. What she hoped was a lie was true.

Haha...

Ethella laughed helplessly. Conrad's tangled words fit her situation like a puzzle.

"She came to my house for that purpose, didn't she?"
