The World Without My Sister Who Everyone Loved - Chapter 6
Sienna was having a dream.
‘Sienna.’
‘Sienna, I hate you.’
Stop it, sister. I know now. I know very well that you’ve been dreaming for my death.
I wanted to say that, but my mouth couldn’t open.
‘Sienna, answer me.’
‘Are you happy to take my place?’
What does that mean?
Sienna, who had never tried to take Loreina’s place, was being treated unfairly.
She wanted to insist on her innocence, but her voice wouldn’t come out.
In her dream, Loreina began laughing madly when seeing that Sienna’s faces paled upon realizing she couldn’t say anything.
“Heuk…”
Breathing in, Sienna finally opened her eyes in the dark.
‘Is it a dream…’
In the pitch-black darkness, Sienna briefly blinked.
Her pupils quickly expanded and adjusted to the darkness. Little by little, the view opened up, and familiar landscapes began to come into Sienna’s eyes.
This is…
“…….”
Gulp. Sienna swallowed. If her eyes aren’t wrong now, this place is…
“Loreina, sister….”
It was Loreina’s room.
As soon as she realized it, she got goosebumps from head to toe.
When she first entered Nacht, Sienna was given a room of a very mediocre level.
Of course, it was just mediocre by Nacht’s standards, but for Sienna who had previously shared a room with seven orphans younger than her in Room 6 of Kendall Orphanage, it was the best thing ever.
A desk, mirror and closet, plus a plush, clean bed.
I loved the room I could have to myself for the first time, so much that I didn’t even notice that the room was in a little shadowy corner in a wide castle.
Unlike Sienna, Loreina received the ‘Cradle of the Moon.’
The Cradle of The Moon was the best room in the castle except for the one used by the Grand Duke and the Heir.
Unlike Siena’s room, where the bed and desk were placed in the same room, The Cradle of The Moon room was equipped with a study, a bedroom, a drawing room, a dress room and a bathroom, as well as a small bedroom for a trusted maid.
When Loreina had first stepped foot into the Duchy, she begged him to let her use it after taking a liking to that room. This was unlike Sienna, who would have accepted any room given to her. However, the Grand Duke did not refuse the request.
Maybe it was from there that I knew for sure Loreina and I were in different situations from then on.
But then why was I in this room?
There was no way Nachts would give Sienna this room. Perhaps…
“…Did I crawl into this room while asleep?”
Sienna believed it was possible, in her last life she spent more time in Loreina’s room than in her own.
The bed containing warm sheets was comfortable and flames were rising from the fireplace, but Sienna began to tremble like a cold person.
As she heard in her dream, Loreina’s voice seemed to ring in her ears.
‘Are you happy to take my place like that?’
This room was not hers.
It wasn’t a place that she dared to occupy.
Sienna did not enter Nacht to take Loreina’s place. I didn’t want to win against my sister, nor did I want revenge.
“I’m just going to stay quiet for a few years and then run away to the academy.’
I can’t believe I’m in this room….
Sienna quickly pushed the blanket.
‘You shouldn’t make unnecessary misunderstandings.’
If Sienna was found sleeping in this room, everyone may misunderstand that she was having indecent and presumptuous ideas.
If you think about it a little bit, you might have noticed that there was a water bag in the bed, and that the bonfire that was lit was comfortable and helped me sleep.
Sienna, who had just woken up from a nightmare, was simply in a state of confusion.
Sienna quickly got out of bed in a pair of pajamas, struggling to make the bed before going back to the bed she slept in my last life.
As soon as Sienna had made the wide bed with her weak arms, she ran out of the room without even thinking about taking a lamp.
‘My room… My old room’
The little barefoot girl began to run down the cold corridor. Sienna was in a hurry to find her old room…
“….Uh!”
I slipped on the ground despite there being nothing and fell down.
‘It hurts….”
Sienna groaned and held her sore knees.
I couldn’t see it, but it felt like blood was starting to seeping from my knee.
But I didn’t have time to sit here and take care of the wound. I quickly got up again and limped to the corner, where ‘my room’ was.
‘Next, Next…. Ah, This one.’
Is it because it’s night or because it’s an 11-year-old child’s body? It was only after a while that Sienna could find her room.
The door opened with a squeak. She didn’t care, It was unpleasant for her, but Sienna was glad to have come to her old room.
She closed the door with her back and slid down.
The corner room had not been cleaned for a long time, so there was a chill in it. The sight of white cloth covered with furniture covered in dust instead looked like a dead place…
“…This is my room.”
My heart, which was pounding, gradually subsided.
Maybe it’s because she had arrived at the place where she had stayed for more than a decade, but, Sienna was greatly relieved. After that, she began to feel drowsy from the effort it took to leave the room she had found herself in .
“Euu….”
Sienna rubbed her eyelids. And went up to the bed as if she was accustomed to it.
There wasn’t a cozy blanket, but it was good enough to grab and cover herself with one of the nearby dust covers.
“Haaaam…”
Shortly after yawning a little, Sienna fell asleep.

The next morning.
Having become Nacht’s new head maid, Mrs. Bora began her routine early in the morning.
Not long ago she heard a very surprising story from the butler.
“Deborah, as you only know, the Grand Prince has brought in a guardian.”
“Yes Really?!”
Mrs. Deborah was surprised.
“Well, that means that we are finally going to have a future Grand Duchess…”
“No, no, That’s not it. This time, the guardian is from an orphanage.”
“Ah, I see. A child. From an orphanage.”
She still regretted it.
“It’s a great opportunity to see the future of the potential future grand duchess when she comes in as a guardian.”
Mrs. Deborah had a plan.
I plan to serve the future Great Duchess from a young age to be trusted in the Duchy, and to remain in power as a loyal maid of this house until she dies!
Unfortunately, the opportunity hadn’t arrived yet.
The butler said, “Anyway, His Highness the Grand Duke has shown deep interest in the young lady,” and ordered for her to be taken care of.
“She seems to be a very talented person. Give her The Cradle of The Moon.”
“What? The Cradle of the Moon?”
Mrs. Deborah frowned. Just because she’s talented, he wants to give her such a nice room?
‘Why would a commoner orphan be given a room suitable for a good noble lady?’
It was a bit of a surprise, but once the instructions were given, she couldn’t help it.
Mrs. Deborah arranged the room for her. And yesterday, the orphan finally took the room.
‘Tsk. I was wondering if I’d be taking care of the Grand Duchess in the future…”
Apart from being uncomfortable with planning, I was curious about the orphan’s face and how she was. So I got up early, finished my morning routine, and ran to the room.
“Hmm.”
Mrs. Deborah coughed, and knocked on the door.
But was quiet in the room.
‘Hm.’
She’s been asleep since she came yesterday evening. Is she sleeping still?
She seems to be lazy. Mrs. Deborah opened her door without asking for further permission with a stern face.
“…..Oh my goodness?”
However, instead of a lazy orphan sleeping like the dead, a neat empty room greeted her.
Her bed was neatly arranged as if it had just been put in order by a skillful maid, and her cold water bag lay on her armchair.
“What?”
Mrs. Deborah hurried around but nothing changed, she was gone.
Eventually, the other maids were called in to search the women’s room, the reception room, the study room, the dress room, but…
‘Not here.’ ‘Not here. I even opened a box that I don’t use.’
The child literally disappeared like smoke.
“Ha…”
I can’t believe you’re giving me trouble this early in the morning.
But even if I was angry, I couldn’t hide it.
“I have to go see the butler.”
“Sorry? But ma’am, then the other maids….”
“Let’s look for a little more.”
“You guys.”
Mrs. Deborah looked at the maids who were saying stupid things.
“Are you out of your mind? The lady was brought by the Grand Duke last night and was given The Cradle of the Moon room. Wouldn’t it be strange that the maids couldn’t find the lady if the fact that she disappeared in the morning was hidden?”
Q/C: Ugh, this sentence, the confusion it caused. So if you were like me and the PR, read the following–> If the maids don’t tell anyone about the missing Siena then it would be strange to everyone else in the Duchy- if the maids can’t find Sienna.
Mrs. Deborah had great ambition that showed in her even in her greater judgment.
“Ah….”
The maids who had not thought of that point shut their mouths at once.
Mrs. Deborah clicked her tongue.
“I can’t believe that all these things are happening all at once. Especially during my time as Head Maid.
I felt like I had a lot of work to do as the new head maid.
‘…We’ll have to find her first.’
I don’t know where you’re hiding, but please be found safely.
Mrs. Deborah tapped her feet nervously.
