Untouchable Lady - Chapter 11

At that time, Hilise was in the garden.

It was the very place where she first awakened her strength.

It was a turning point that always happens every time her new life begins, so it was a very familiar place for her.

Softly.

The light breeze shook the grass on the floor and stroked her cheek.

Currently, Hilise was lying on the green grass in the garden.

Her employees were frightened to see her lying on the bare floor. Not only that, but she also came out of the building in her pajamas only.

But she didn’t even care about other people’s eyes today.

She felt the warmth from the sun penetrating her body just as she felt when she fell from the window and lay underneath it some time ago.

They have been quiet since that day, too, Diego and Ricardo.

As she recalled the faces of the two people who had been contemplating, a faint cynicism arose around her mouth.

Diego, her father, couldn’t leave the widow even after seeing Hilise was all right.

His face, looking down at her, stiffened like a man nailed down.

Maybe it wasn’t Hilise, but the roses that covered her all around her in her sight.

The rose that Hilise had blossomed climbed up the outer wall of the building as if it could even reach the window on the upper floor.

On that day, she turned her head to Ricardo, who approached and stood next to her.

He looked down at her, lying in a pile of flowers with a face as white as his father.

When he heard the news that Hilise had jumped out of her window, he was in a hurry, as if he had been rushing. He looked distraught.

Now, when he looked back, he thought Hilise was funny.

Why do you make such a face?

Ricardo had already killed her once in the garden.

He left Hilise behind, facing a beast.

But now, why am I so surprised that she jumped out of the window herself?

In any case, the two have not communicated since then, and Hilise enjoyed it.

Especially her father Diego, he no longer visited or bothered her anymore.

Instead, he seemed to be tightly cracking down on the people with big mouths inside Inoaden and banned them from outside access.

So, they wouldn’t let out the fact that Hilise had awakened.

Rustle.

“Sister Hilise.”

Then, someone stepped on the grass. She heard of something approaching.

“What are you doing here?”

Soon after, a pure voice, like the song of a lark, rang in her ears. A huge shadow cast over her head.

Hilise slowly opened her eyes.

Her bright red eyelashes, the same color as her hair, moved gently.

The bright gold eyes that looked as if the sun was in them, looked outward.

Gabrielle was looking down at Hilise with a friendly smile on her beautiful face.

Gabrielle was quite surprised.

‘‘Oh my god, are you really wearing pajamas? You don’t seem to be ashamed.’

However, she did not express that thought out loud.

She said, “I didn’t know you were here, so I looked for you for a while.”

There was a sweet silliness in her grumbling voice.

Whenever Gabrielle acted that way, everyone would soothe her with empathy. And so did Hilise.

Though now, she only looked up at Gabrielle with an indifferent expression.

“Sister Hilise…?”

Gabriella stopped when she noticed Hilise behaving that way.

It was because the face of the person she is seeing felt terribly unfamiliar for some reason.

‘Uh, that’s weird? At this point, you have to apologize first, saying you’re sorry for making me walk in vain.’

In addition to that, she deserved to be kindly asked what she brought her here.

However, Hilise was just staring at Gabrielle silently with her cloudy eyes.

Incomprehensibly, her’ bright golden eyes felt breathtakingly deep, cloudy abyss.

“Well, the reason I came to find my sister is because Chris is coming soon.”

Somehow, a reluctant feeling crept up to her back.

Unbeknownst to her, Gabrielle was overwhelmed by Hilise’s atmosphere and opened her mouth as if she had been forced by something.

“That’s why I dressed up nicely, so please take a look at me now.”

Still, the more she continued, the more her mind began to straighten out.

Yes, Gabrielle came to Hilise to show off her beauty.

“How do you like this necklace? I tried wearing it for the first time today.”

Gabrielle’s hand sank down the nape of her neck.

As Hilise’s gaze quietly slipped and she touched her necklace, the smile drawn on Gabrielle’s face became even brighter.

“Chris gave me a present on my birthday a while ago. Sister remembers that too right? When I first opened the box, you said it was pretty.”

Christian Parvenon.

He was Gabrielle’s fiance.

Christian was the successor to Parvenon, and together with the Inoaden on equal shoulders, he was also known for his remarkably handsome appearance.

He was kind and affectionate to everyone, but he was a particularly charming lover to Gabrielle.

Gabrielle was very proud of her exceptional fiancé.

So, even to her older sister, Hilise, she immediately showed off her pride with a sense of superiority.

Today, she sent a letter to Christian, asking him to come to see her.

She loves faking sickness, but she also hadn’t met him for a while.

Satisfying Gabrielle’s wish, Christian sent a reply saying he would visit Inoaden immediately.

So, she dressed up nicely and prepared to greet him.

It was time for Christian to arrive.

Gabrielle told her employee in advance to send him to this garden, where Hilise is.

“Would you like to try this necklace, sister?”

Gabrielle laughed innocently and encouraged Hilise.

“I think this will suit you well. You said you liked it, too.”

She did not wait for Hilise’s answer and unwrapped her trinket from her neck.

She knew Hilise would not reject her request.

And when Christian comes, she will burst out crying, saying that her sister had stolen her necklace. Then, everyone would give her pity. ?

It wouldn’t be mean, since it was just a little joke.

Gabrielle liked her good-looking step-sister, who soon shed tears at her mischief, but did not scold her.

“Come on, sister. Let’s get up for a minute. I’ll put it on you myself.”

Of course, this joke will make Hilise in trouble again…

But it was not enough to deprive her father and brother’s interest.

Meanwhile, Hilise thought as she saw Gabrielle chattering with her sassy voice.

‘It’s annoying and noisy.’

Finally, Hilise’s lips opened for the first time since meeting Gabrielle.

“Gabrielle.”
“Yes, Sister. May I help you up?”
“Get out of the way, don’t block the sun.”
“…What?”

Gabrielle did not immediately understand what she said.

Hilise didn’t wait for long. The next moment, a rose vine grew between Hilise and Gabrielle.

Whack!

“Ahhhh!”

A green stalk wrapped around Gabrielle’s body grabbed her and pulled her away from Hilise.

A shrill scream erupted from Gabrielle’s mouth, as she was tied to the rose vine and floated in the air.

She took the time to dress up beautifully, but now it quickly became a mess.

Her finely combed hair was curled up and bunched in the air, and her well-ironed dress was crumpled by the vines.

Hilise looked at Gabrielle with her cold eyes.

She wasn’t so stupid that she didn’t realize why Gabrielle came here. Gabrielle’s thoughts were usually unidirectional and flat.

She was simple in a good way, and, in a bad way, stupid.

This time, she must have been planning to put that necklace on Hilise and cry, claiming that she stole it.

Having been hit with such a technique several times, she knew Gabrielle’s thoughts clearly.

She may be able to pass as not being very mature in the eyes of others, but from her point of view, who was damaged by agelessness, she couldn’t consider her actions as cute.

“Kyaa, Miss Gabrielle!”

After hearing the screams from Gabrielle, her employees, who had come running, saw her floating in her air and yelled.

The only one who was calm was Hilise, lying in a pile of roses.

“Well…”

It was at that moment when the voice of the man, who had been particularly provocative, pierced the eardrum through the loud noise.

“This is such an interesting sight that I was not expecting this.”
