'THE PRIESTESS AND HER FOUR LORDS' was a hit otome game in her world, with not just four love interests but with seven fine men!
She used to play it during her free time and had already completed six routes, except for the character who caught her attention and the reason why she wanted to play the game. She didn't play his route first because she was saving the best for last. But now, she died without playing his route and receiving his love.
*sob* Oh my God, my shaylaaaa…
That's what everyone says 'regret comes last'. She wishes she could go back and enjoy playing the game again, since she doubts that her favorite character will look at her this time.
She even didn't know what ending or which route the protagonist would be choosing in this life.
However, she stopped whining when she heard footsteps running outside and burst the door open. She looked at the tiny girl almost her age who's also looking at her with surprise—her twin sister, Anna Levine.
She instantly recognizes the protagonist's unique features, even though they are twins, they are different in each aspect—personality, ability, and looks.
Anna has brown hair with pink strokes, her eyes are blue like the ocean under the dazzling sun, and has smooth flawless fair skin unlike Aryen that's pale and lacks blood—like a rotting corpse.
One of the reasons why the people call her the blessing of the Avallaine, while Aryen was called the 'danger' or 'curse'.
She's basically beautiful, a Goddess to their eyes—especially when she received the blessing of the Four Lords.
AAAAHHHH NOW I UNDERSTAND ARYEN! WITH THIS BEAUTY HOW CAN I NOT?!
She did an excellent job acting normal and nonchalant, even though she's panicking inside. Now, she needs to avoid the death flag and focus on being a supportive, loving, and not insecure sister to Anna.
"I-I heard you're awake, Ary." Anna was the first one to break the silence between them.
She remembers that Anna really loved her twin sister and she shared what she had with Aryen, but Aryen hated it. She hated it because Anna seems to pity her—because it feels like she has nothing while Anna has everything that she wants!
"Yeah, are you worried about me?" Aryen asked, smiling and tilting her head while looking at her dear sister.
However, Anna was stunned to see Aryen acting like that. She looked like something was wrong with her sister.
This makes Aryen anxious.
She definitely recalled that the original Aryen acted sweet and good sister to Anna while planning to kill her and stole everything she had. So, why did Anna look so stunned and in disbelief to see Aryen like that?
Aryen snapped out of her thoughts when Anna stepped forward and approached her. She then looked at Aryen's knee, "Yes, I'm very worried about what happened, you shouldn't do that again, okay?" She answered and gently put her hand on Aryen's right leg as she looked at Aryen with concern.
Aryen just nodded at her and smiled. She can't respond to Anna without being suspicious, especially when she can't remember what happened and why she is injured!!!
It's like Anna intentionally asked her that, to know if she really is the real Aryen.
To think that in the game, Anna is a more sensitive, oblivious, and kind girl in the Cathedral, while right now she's being cautious.
If Aryen wouldn't know, she would fall for that question and get busted immediately.
Well, Anna is gifted, maybe she can feel if something is wrong.
"How about helping me change my clothes? It really hurts when I walk to get up here, so can you choose my clothes?" Aryen asked nicely while caressing Anna's head.
Anna stares at her for a second then nodded and smiled at her before she walked towards their closet, "I heard from Priestess Allia that you're awake and you didn't let her help you change your clothes." Anna spoke, but unlike earlier, she doesn't seem so wary about her now.
"I don't want to bother her, besides I have you right now." Aryen responded, making Anna chuckle.
"You're always depending on me, aren't you?" Anna teased Aryen before handing her the clothes, "Hurry, or there might not be any food left on the table for us." Anna said while watching Aryen unbutton her pajamas.
"You didn't eat yet?" Anna shook her head as an answer to Aryen's question.
"I was about to, but I left the line when I heard that you're awake." Anna replied and folding Aryen's pajamas after Aryen handed it to her.
After wearing her clothes, Aryen was able to look at Anna's face closely, since earlier she was too nervous to look at her face. Being able to see the protagonist this close feels like a dream.
Aryen will do her best to protect Anna this time, from obstacles that will come to her in the future! Supporting what route she'll take, even if it's her favorite love interest route.
This time, she'll do everything not to make her sister hate her.
