The World Without My Sister Who Everyone Loved - Chapter 8

Mrs. Deborah brought Sienna out a moment later, pretending to have found her.

“Where…”

“She was in the closet.”

The gap between his eyebrows narrowed.

‘You hid right there and I didn’t know?’

“I think you need treatment because you’re hurt.”

Ah, yes, the first priority is to treat the wound. He quickly forgot about his suspicions thereafter.

“Give me the child.”

The Grand Duke stretched out his arms to take Sienna. But at that moment, Sienna shivered and grabbed Mrs. Deborah’s sleeve.

No matter how you looked at it, it was clear that she was afraid of the Duke.

Before the atmosphere became tense, Mrs. Deborah quickly asked for permission.

“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ll carry her carefully.”

“…Yes, do that.”

They headed to the nearest living room. An armchair was placed near the fire and people wrapped Sienna in blankets.

Soon the doctor arrived at the order of the Great Duke. Sienna was treated by a doctor who treated her as carefully as a feather.

‘Um….’

I thought it would be uncomfortable to be an uninvited guest in this house, but I realized that it would be uncomfortable to be treated with the utmost care when I had never received it before.

“Oh my god, you fell hard.”

The wound became more serious than expected as a result of neglecting it for one night. Still, I could concentrate only on the pain when the disinfectant was applied.

“You did well, young lady. Would you like a candy?”

After bandaging it, the doctor even gave out candy. Sienna, who didn’t expect this kind of kindness, was a little surprised and looked at the candy

(T/N: take the damn candy.)

“No…”

I smiled unconsciously and shook my head.

‘I’m not a kid anymore….’

Also, it was not good to relive the past which I had buried.

In the past, no one called for a doctor even if Sienna was injured. This would be the first time.

It was to the point where the maid would be reluctant to give her medicine.

But now I’m being treated so wholeheartedly by a doctor and offered candy.

‘Perhaps, I didn’t go back in time but entered a new world?’

I couldn’t even imagine this nonsense.

Unexpectedly, the doctor, who offered candy after seeing the child handle the pain without a fuss, gave up and left.

The Grand Duke, who watched the whole scenario, asked.

“…why did you go to sleep in such a small room?”

Sienna, who had nothing to say, answered honestly.

“When I woke up, it was hard to believe that such a nice room could possibly be mine.”

“….”

The straightforward words left little room for imagination. It was heard by the Grand Duke and others that the young child was injured while wandering around the castle in the middle of the night in search of a shabby room to avoid being scolded.

“Oh my…”

“Oh my god, child.”

Sienna thought while looking at the face of the Grand Duke who was looking at her while sighing.

‘Again. That’s the look he made at the orphanage yesterday.’

An expression of patience with slight annoyance.

It looks like you had a reason behind why you gave such a nice room to me.

‘Well, I don’t want to ask you about that….’

Now, Sienna didn’t want to get emotionally involved with the Grand Duke’s employees. She set aside the questions she had heard and left it as it was.

‘Whether I’m an orphan or spoiled…’

What are you doing, is it because you know the reason for the different treatment?

It is just a fantasy that will disappear like fog when Loreina arrives.

Sienna knew. There was a deep gap between her and Loreina that could not be filled with talent.

So I just wanted to live quietly in this house until I turned 15 and became eligible to enter the academy.

It’s best not to have useless questions and worse to have useless hopes.

‘I hate it.’

Sienna decided to wrap things up neatly at this point.

“I’m sorry. I won’t make a fuss like this again.”

“Why did you….”

No, it’s not. The Grand Duke shook his head and sighed.

It was the maid’s fault that she failed to select a nanny to stay by her bed. The error of the servants below is also his fault.

Sienna did not need to be questioned, nor was an apology needed from Sienna

“You don’t have to apologize because it’s not your fault.”

“…..”

“It’s your room from now on, so just start getting used to it.”

Instead of answering, Sienna only looked up at the Duke.

“…do you have anything to say?”

Sienna hesitated for a moment.

‘Should I or should I not say the room is too good for me?’

The Cradle of the Moon was for Loreina, not for Sienna.

‘If she were to come back, I would be annoyed when I would have to give it back to her.’

Should I tell you or not?

Thinking about it made me feel annoyed. Sienna shook her head in silence.

If Loreina comes and asks for the room anyway, Sienna will naturally be able to go to another room.

‘I wouldn’t be the one bothered in the process.’

If you show yourself giving up your room and leaving, Loreina will at least know Sienna has no intention of confrontation.

‘Nothing bad will happen.’

Come to think of it, there was at least one space in the room that I was familiar with. I can just stay there quietly. After she was finished considering the situation, Sienna shook her head quietly.

The Grand Duke looked at the child, who quietly shook her head, with a puzzled look on his face.

When I first saw her at the orphanage, she was still like a pitiful child, but she didn’t look like one when she spoke maturely.

‘It’ll take a little more time to adapt.’

Even though it was unclear, I thought I had no choice but to think so now.

* * *

Mrs. Deborah brought Sienna back to the Cradle of the Moon.

The room decorated with fresh sky blue and white was the most beautiful when the sun poured down on the windows filled with high floors.

A child who wakes up on a dusky night and is surprised by a nice room. Wouldn’t they be even more surprised now?

Curious, Mrs. Deborah glanced at Siena. But Sienna…

“…hoo.”

She just sighed as if looking at a messy room.

A child who seemed to have a headache just by being in the room.

‘Such an odd child.’

Mrs. Deborah thought to herself. As she had no intention of downgrading a child who seemed to be cherished by the Grand Duke, the most powerful man in the family, she said in a polite tone-

“Then, my lady, I will bring you a meal while you rest.”

She’ll probably be surprised no matter what she’s given. She’ll grow quickly if she’s spoiled rotten, so she’ll soon forget about her past and enjoy being a child of Nacht.

Mrs. Deborah believed so.

It took less than ten minutes to prove that the judgment was hasty.

“…miss?”

It took Mrs. Deborah about ten minutes to return with a maid pushing a cart with breakfast.

But in the meantime, Sienna disappeared again without a trace.

‘You’re not going to be in that third floor room again right…?’

As soon as the head maid began to frown, a small door inside the bedroom opened.

“You came back already?”

“Did you only go there?”

“Yes.”

“It’s a ladies’ room, but…”

“Did you?”

Sienna blinked her eyes naturally.

“I didn’t know. I felt better when I was in there.”

“It’s not a place for you to stay. Come out here and I’ll attend to you.”

Instead of insisting on eating in that room, Sienna complied and came out.

P/N: That room is the ladies’ room, so she came out into the bedroom. She’s planning on living in the ladies’ room. I can’t-, don’t do that Sienna! That’s just- cold and gross. T.T

‘You don’t have to be so stubborn.’

She decided to stay there as long as she could. Every time Mrs. Deborah or the Grand Duke say something, she can answer back, saying, “I feel comfortable in there.”

I’m not going to leave that room because I’m an orphan who knows her place.

‘If you keep insisting, they may prevent you from living there.’

Sienna made up her mind to give in a little to prevent a messy event from occuring.

“It is so comfortable to not try.’

It was a new realization that would help in a very positive way in the future.

“Please have a seat over here.”

It was a very carefully prepared diet, most likely to soothe the anxious child. Soft, tender omelettes were in small children’s dishes.

It looked warm and delicious, but I didn’t have an appetite. Oh, come on.

“……aaham.”

I was so sleepy that I could yawn.

“You’re sleepy because you didn’t sleep.”

Mrs. Deborah persuaded Sienna and urged her to hold the table.

“Just have a little. When you’re done eating, I’ll take you to bed.”

“Yes…”

With a child’s body, rebelling against an adult is useless.

Siena finished a small prayer and cut the omelette into small pieces and brought it to her mouth.

Mrs. Deborah’s eyes glistened.

‘She’s got good manners for a child who’s never even seen etiquette.’
