Liera silently stared at the transparent square system screen that was exposed in front of her. There are three options that Liera must choose one of them. Liera's clenched hands trembled under the table.
"Why is there suddenly a system that controls the storyline?!" Liera screamed in her heart with a face that was starting to look sour.
The presence of a system that controls the storyline is something unexpected. Liera didn't even realize that the questions and actions that Elias did earlier were part of the scenes in the novel in chapter 1.
Liera closed her eyes tightly, it felt like she just wanted to cry. "When did the novel start?! How could I not notice?!"
[ Warning! ]
[ Players are expected to vote! If you don't vote within one minute, the system will give an answer automatically according to the storyline. ]
[ 20 seconds remaining. ]
Liera heard a man's deep voice giving a warning. Liera's eyes opened and saw the system screen displaying the choices she had to make immediately. Beside that system screen, there is another system screen which alerts her to choose.
Liera bit her lower lip, she read carefully the three choices in the system box. What should she choose now? If she adjusts the storyline, of course Liera can predict what the right choice is.
Liera's face turned cold. She said in her heart, "I choose C!"
Ding!
[ Player has chosen the answer! ]
[ C. Silence without needing to answer. ]
Liera put on a gloomy face and looked like someone who was deeply depressed. This is a face that has been automatically controlled by the system because Liera has chosen to remain silent without needing to answer.
Elias showed pain on his face looking at his younger brother who had a depressed face at her age who should be getting a lot of happiness and filled with smiles. Ursilla will be turning 6 years old, and her birthday will be held grandly. Even invitation letters have been distributed. However, Ursilla was not in a good condition or happy.
"Silla,...please say something..." Elias lamented sadly because Ursilla didn't even want to tell him anything about her problem.
Liera stared blankly at the expression Elias displayed. Elias is one of the supporting characters in the novel, Love to Ursilla. He really loves his sister and Liera as a writer who knows best how much Elias loves her. As someone who hopes for an older brother in her life, Liera pours all her hopes of a good older brother on Elias.
To be honest, Liera was envious. Even now, her chest feels tight. Now Liera was confused. The tightness she felt, and the suffocating feeling that made her speechless, who was it really? Ursilla or Liera?
Drip.
Tears unexpectedly dripped from Ursilla's eyes. At first, it was only a few drops before finally turning into tears. "Huaa..."
Ursilla was crying loudly while covering her face. The burden in her heart was instantly crushed by crying. Choosing silence without having to answer is already the right choice. During the incident in the park, Ursilla was very frightened. She hoped that Brother Eli whom she relied on would come. Then, the father who became a hero in everyone's eyes would save from the bad guys.
However, unfortunately, until the end neither of the two even came to help Ursilla. This made Ursilla's heartache with disappointment. She always kept her mouth shut about the garden incident, which was so horrific for her to remember. It was one step Ursilla took to distance herself from the family who said they 'loved her'.
Elias immediately got up and hugged Ursilla's tiny body. Elias's breath hitched when he heard his sister's heartbreaking cry. "Shhh... Silla, don't cry... I'm sorry, Big Brother. You shouldn't have forced you if you wanted to avoid talking."
Elias's hands trembled slightly as he stroked Ursilla's gray hair. Elias realized that the person in his arms was very fragile. It was so easy for people to destroy Elias's little sister's happiness. This made Elias feel guilty.
Elias wasn't there when his sister was in trouble. Ursilla must have been so scared that she was traumatized. Ursilla must have felt disappointment as well because Elias was not by her side when Ursilla was having trouble.
"I'm sorry, Silla. Sorry,... I'm not a good big brother." Elias kissed the top of Ursilla's head. His eyes immediately heated to feel the sadness experienced by Ursilla.
Ursilla's crying finally stopped after a few minutes, but Ursilla still wouldn't pull herself out of Elias's arms. This action made Elias feel he had the hope of being able to get his sister to forgive him.
[ Congratulations to the player who have completed chapter 1 of the Love to Ursilla novel! ]
[ Rewards will be given to player who follow the storyline! ]
[ Player now have unopened gift boxes! ]
The voice that Liera used to hear was very stiff, now had the joy of giving her a notification. Gift. Liera wondered what kind of gift she would get after making herself look pathetic in front of her dream big brother.
Liera's feelings are now mixed. How could she end up cooperating according to the system's instructions?!
"What is this?! Since when did I become a puppet under the control of the system?!"

In the deepest sea, there are various types of fish that have a huge physique and even have a ferocious nature. In the deepest sea, there is a kingdom that stands. The owner of the kingdom is certainly part of the siren race.
Siren. The creature was actually very vicious. It has long and very sharp fangs, with wide eyes, a slender body and the scales on its tail can stand up and turn sharper as if it can be used to hunt prey. Siren also has a sweet voice, even though her appearance looks hideous and has no beauty at all. The sound is used to attract prey to jump into the sea for them to kill. Actually, sirens are very different from mermaids.
Mermaids have extraordinary beauty. Endowed with such sharp and beautiful eyes. Curly eyelashes, pink lips, beautiful tail, and most importantly her sweet voice that always hypnotizes humans who hear it. Unlike sirens, which use their beautiful voices to kill prey, mermaids don't do the same. Although the intention is the same, namely to attract and trick humans into plunging into the sea, mermaids do it for another purpose.
Mermaids sing in their sweet voices in mating season!
They need a partner to satisfy their cravings!
Most target humans who board ships. Although their actions are very low-key, mermaids also have high standards for choosing the person who will satisfy their desires in the mating season.
So, not random people are chosen. The chosen ones are either lucky or unlucky to meet mermaids as beautiful as them, but at the same time extremely cruel. That was because once they were satisfied with the humans they had sex with, the mermaids would kill them.
They only view humans as gratifications and cultivators of seeds to multiply their race.
Sirens and mermaids were originally two different races. However, the siren race was defeated by the leader of the mermaid race so that now they are subject to the same leader.
The two races, which are basically the same, finally unite and live side by side. The sirens who have a ferocious nature serve as royal soldiers. As for mermaids, being a good citizen of the kingdom and required to have at least one child to preserve their race.
