I Reincarnated In A Otome Game As Love Rival

Part 18-13 years old

I have learned everything that Evelyn-sensei can offer me.

Thus now she said to continue on researching poison and unravel its mystery.

For self defense and weapon dagger mastery also can be said I am at Master level approved by my father.

He said I am a genius. He seems so proud of me.

Now, there were no awkward moments where i feels so distant with him.

It is different with how we were years ago.It made me happy.

When i trained, sometimes my mother would come and see me.

I can see that even my mother and my father have a history, their relationship now more like friend. And my mother seem comfortable with that.

As I have reached Master level, my mother ask me to take a break from training and use the time to relax myself.

I have agreed now I am having a leisure time.

'I am bored'.

As I have nothing to do, i feel restless. Sigh~

Usually, at this time I spend my time together with my mother but today she went out.

'Hmm...Lets find Linie. It must be fun teasing her'. I thought.

Getting ready, my maid and I go to Lady Rose mansion.

Asking my maid to inform my arrival to Linie, I am waiting for her to arrive at the mansion's living room.

Waiting for a while, i hear rapid footsteps approaching behind my back. She have come.

Seeing her excited figure come make me happy knowing that she welcome me.

"Ruca onee-sama! You come!" She said while panting so hard.

"Yes. Calm down little kid. Take a breath".

"I cant believe it. Its always me looking for you". She said.

Thinking back, it is true that she always the one looking for me. Okay I reflected myself.

"Sorry little kid"

Well. I am a busy person you know.

"Its okay. Finally you come to see me so its fine. Hehehe". She said cheerfully.

Thank God she is not sulking.

After that we playing and spending time together.

Seeing her sulk and then make her smile again as always make my day.

Looking at her, there is something that played in mind. So I ask her.

"Little kid, why I have never seen Lady Rose around?"

Hearing the question, she turns quiet.

Looking at me sadly, she said, "Its nothing".

I know something must had happened.

Holding her hand. I persuade her to tell me.

"Mommy....she is in pain". She cry.

Stroking her shoulder to calm her down, "Is she sick?" I ask her.

"Yes...so much. Sometimes at night, she start feeling so cold".

"Lets tell father". I decided.

I start to stand up. Suddenly Linie grabbed my hand and stopped me.

"No! Mommy dont want to tell Daddy". She hinder me.

"Why? Its better to tell Father before its too late". I ask curiously.

"Ruca onee-sama, please dont tell Daddy. Mommy dont want it. She said she dont want to troubled Daddy". She pleaded.

Its looks like Lady Rose is so concerned about Father. Lets try to help her.

"Hmm...let me see her". I told her.

Blinking her eyes, she ask me, "Ruca onee-sama can you help her?".

"Of course I can. You know, your big sister is amazing". I said cheerfully to ease her heart.

"Ruca onee-sama, thank you". Finally she smiled.

I ask my maids to return. As Linie ask me to make the news about her mother confidential.

Holding my hand, she bring me to Lady Rose's room.

"Mommy, I come in". She told her and move inside the room.

When I see Lady Rose, the beautiful lady i see before during name giving ceremony have become so thin and paled.

Lying on the bed, she cant make herself to get up. Her eyes look confuse as wondering who I am.

Seeing her mother confused, "Mommy, this is Ruca onee-sama. My sister that always play with me." Linie introduced me.

" I am Ruca Ciara. Pleased to meet you Lady Rose". As ethic in aritocrate family, I formally introduced myself to her.

Hearing that, she nodded.

This make me remember that in original otome game's setting,

Linie was started being bullied by villainess after her mother died caused by a monster's poison when she was taking a walk in forest.

'Poison'. I can do something.

"I will try to find a doctor for you Lady Rose". I said to her.

As i know what she wants to ask, I added," Dont worry, Father would not know about your condition".

Hearing that, her eyes looks full of gratitude to me.
