Beotis had not completed the entire novel 'Give me your Flower' because of all the dog-blooded plot-twists and absurd nutty characters. She also didn't pay much attention to the nonsensical outline of the story because well... the plot was nonsensical. She was only there for the steamy *Cough* adult stuff, but since the characters annoyed her too much, she didn't bother to stick till the end. But now that she had ended up transmigrated inside the book, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She regretted. She regretted it so much that she didn't pay much attention to the storyline. Why did she not stick to the book till the end? She felt like crying without tears as she nibbled onto her fingernails in frustration, trying hard to remember the foggy details of the book.
She browsed through her rough scribblings again and again to try and remember all that she had read, but nothing more than what she had just jotted down came to her mind. Then again, she felt relieved that she at least remembered the gory details about her supposed big brother, Thoren Lagraine.
Thoren Lloyd Lagraine was a side character like Beotis Lagraine. He was the lieutenant commander of the army the Arkwrights oversaw, and he was also the childhood mate of Eugene Arkwright. So at least, he had more scenes in the book than his little sister who died at the very beginning. And he was the only silver lining in the entire novel.
Thoren Lagraine was the only sane, likable character in the entire story. But the author was so cruel and screwed up in the head that she had to kill the one sensible character in the book, and that was when Beotis decided to abandon this ridiculous novel with an unreconciled heart. Thinking about that, Beotis couldn't help but sigh sadly.
Thoren Lagraine died while trying to avenge his little sister, Beotis.
Thoren Lagraine was the illegitimate son of marquis Lagraine. He was the son of the marquis's one true love, and thus, the marquis was always biased when it concerned Thoren. He gave all his love and attention to his eldest son and was always partial towards Beotis. Thus, Beotis's half-brother was a thorn in her heart which try as she might, she could never pull it out. Consequently, was the obvious hate in her heart for her older sibling. Beotis resented both her father and brother for as long as she lived.
But who would have ever imagined that the brother that she hated to her bones, loved her back to his bones?
Thoren had always felt guilty for his sister. The Marquis's legal wife died due to despair and a broken heart when Beotis was incredibly young, and he always felt that he was the sole reason for Beotis's broken family and that he had snatched away all the things that should've actually belonged to her, including his father's favor. Because of that, he was always looking at his little sister with rose-coloured glasses.
Hence, he failed to see his sister's crazy psychotic villainess personality. No matter how cold and callous his sister was towards him, he never complained and always spoiled her. He felt he deserved all of that hate and more. So, he never thought it necessary to take his sister's indiscretions against him to heart. After all, he felt, he had only this one sister, who else would she be throwing her temper at, if not at him.
But this brother of hers, was unaware of all the scary people his dear sister had been offending while he was busy coddling her. And when she was finally retaliated against, Thoren, who always had a tranquil and a quite personality, had completely lost his mind the day he lost Beotis. He could not come to terms with the fact that Eugene, who he had considered a childhood friend, had his sister's blood on his hands. At that very point, the poor Thoren Lagraine started regressing in a twisted psycho villain himself.
His death was substantially tragic, and with him, came the imminent conclusion of the Lagraine Marquis's household.
Beotis sighed yet again when she thought about the tragic end of this doting older brother of Beotis Lagraine. *Tsk* The author really did not have any mercy for side characters.
She looked at the details of the letter that she had just penned down and exhaled heavily. Her handwriting was horrendous due to the unfamiliarity of the language of this world. But she was not in the condition to worry about her dreadful handwriting at the time. She was only relieved that at least the language and dialect of this world came naturally to her. She couldn't even imagine what she would have done if she were unfamiliar with the language of this world.
Beotis Harrison didn't know Thoren Lagraine personally. All that she knew about him was from the book of 'Give me your flower.' She didn't know what he looked like, just like she didn't know what Beotis looked like until she saw the girl in the mirror. She only knew what he was like before he had retrogressed into a psycho avenger. The book was written very vaguely, and nothing much was mentioned about a character's looks, unless it was a main character. Most of the book was solely focused on the uprising of the female lead Keona, and her many nightly endeavours. So it was really hard for Beotis to identify the characters from the book, even if she saw them.
Beotis could only feel grateful that the previous Beotis Lagraine generally ignored Thoren and didn't have much contact with him. So if she suddenly acted out of character, the guy wouldn't be too doubtful and she could effortlessly escape suspicion.
She wrote the letter to Thoren with Beotis Lagraine in mind, but it was also a letter written by an outsider who had nothing to do with him and knew of his miserable ending. So how could it contain the sharp cutting raw feelings of Beotis Lagraine?
The letter, if read, was a very straightforward polite rejection to attend the evening reception ball due to her sudden ill health, but if one were to inspect it closely, there was a hint of melancholy hidden amongst the forthright words. It gave off a strange feeling of sadness and glum spun into immense anger and helplessness.
It was a letter written by a very destitute sister to her dear brother.
