I currently resting under the biggest tree in the garden. Studying tires my mind, and I’m getting sleepy now. As my mind slowly drifting away, I heard sound of footsteps. When I look at the source, I saw my Younger Sister, Eleanor, coming to me.
“Brother. I have something to ask.”
“Sure. What is it?” I said as I slowly sit up.
She immediately sit next to me before continuing.
“Umm… how do I say this…” She says nervously.
I just keep quiet while waiting for her to say something. Eleanor being nervous like that sure is cute. After a few minutes she took a deep breath and managed to say something.
“Brother… would you believe it if I said that we live in some kind of story?”
I didn’t expect her to say something like that. Could she possibly be…
“Hm? What makes you say that?”
“You see… I have this dream where I live as someone else in a place far from here. Yet everything I experienced felt so real, as if It’s really my life. In that dream I read a story. The place where the story happened is in a country that shares name with ours. Even the people in the story have same name as us.”

She really is a reincarnated person.
“So what’s the problem?” I ask her.
“The story itself is about a love story of a low class noble with the country’s prince. But the prince has a fiancee and that fiancee is… Beatrice.”
I thought she would’ve said that she’s the fiancee. But it turns out to be our youngest sister.
“What’s wrong with Beatrice being the fiancee? Don’t you think she’ll be fine, she’s very well behaved after all.”
“But Beatrice is the story’s antagonist. She’s a jealous girl that harass other girls that tries to get close to the prince. Many girls got ruined by her, except for the protagonist that somehow manages to captivate the prince.”
“Beatrice keeps harassing the protagonist, but fails because there are always people helping her. Until the ending where her deeds are exposed, it’s so bad that her engagement are annulled and our family is stripped off of nobility and she’s exiled.”
If we’re stripped off of nobility, I’ll be fine since I can do something if the situation calls for it. As for the others…
“Let’s say it happened. Wouldn’t Father and Mother go with Beatrice? You probably will follow them, right?”
“I just can’t imagine them abandoning her. They really dote on her after all.”
Then it came to me.
“Eleanor, did the story said anything about us? How similar we are to the ones in the story?”
“… It doesn’t say much about us. Beatrice in the story simply claims that we helped her schemes.”
There’s nothing that hints why she became like that. But I’m certain that I’m not someone that will help people to harass someone. Especially not in a matter of someone’s romantic life. But if Beatrice does something like that we can teach her the right way.
“I think it’ll be fine. But you probably should tell both Father and Mother too. I’ll help you if you need it.”
She nods without saying anything else. There’s an awkward silence between us for a moment there. Then she says something.
“Brother… Why are you so calm even though I told you something crazy?”
She finally suspicious of me. I need to say something.
“Let’s just say that I’m in the same situation as you.”
It’s useless to lie after all.
