LEONIE ACESO

My twin sister was exiled to a small town in the countryside named Eldorado. I was angry and heartbroken when I heard the news. We had shared our entire lives together, growing up and sharing everything, including our toys. Whatever was hers was mine and vice versa. I wanted to go with her to Eldorado, but I had no choice but to stay and serve as the head of the Aceso family. The elders who forced her to leave filled me with resentment. I arranged for Anna to accompany her, both to protect her and to keep me informed about her life in Eldorado.

One day, Anna reported that my sister was being bullied by the residents of Eldorado. Furious, I went to our mother and suggested mobilizing the Aceso family's military to destroy the town. Mother rejected the idea. I then proposed shutting down the apothecary in Eldorado as punishment. Although Mother always advised fairness and justice towards all elf races, I despised the dark elves and forest elves living there. She dismissed this idea as well, saying the situation would help my sister grow and mature. Despite being the family head, I couldn't go against Mother, and Father always sided with her. So, I decided to wait.

A month later, I received a report that my sister had made a friend, a dark elf named Elfan. I asked Anna to investigate him. The report indicated that Elfan was skilled in swordsmanship and even more proficient in alchemy. Perhaps that was why my sister was drawn to him. The strangest part was his obsession with his mother, whom he constantly talked about.

Years passed, and Mother began arranging marriage for my sister, who was older than me. She interviewed many candidates from major noble families, including Ezu Elzaran, the firstborn son of the late Queen Elizabeth. He was the best candidate, and the elders were preparing for the engagement ceremony as soon as my sister returned. However, after the death of the crown princess, major families started fighting for the throne, halting the marriage arrangements. Ezu was displeased, but he had no choice since the Elzaran family was in decline. Both the Adams and Eclipse families requested support, but I couldn’t decide. I asked Mother for guidance, but she refused. As family head, I decided to call my sister back, hoping she could help with this important decision. I missed her terribly.

My sister arrived a month later, worried because Elfan had entered the sealed mine. What kind of fool is this Elfan? My sister suggested we remain neutral in the conflict. She couldn't stop talking about Elfan. Obsessed with his mother and now my sister obsessed with him? What’s going on here? Despite my resentment, I had to admit his ideas were intriguing.

My sister came into my office and suggested I write a letter to Elmacia, informing her of my sister's visit. She insisted it was important. After meeting Elmacia, she returned happier than I had ever seen her. Anna reported that Elfan had emerged from the mine and was heading towards the capital. Finally, I would meet the man who stole my sister.

After Elfan arrived in the capital, I had to write another letter to Elmacia, this time requesting a meeting between Elfan and Elmacia. What is my sister planning? A few days later, during dinner with our parents, my sister announced that she was going to marry Elfan, a dark elf. That wasn't even the shocking part. She confidently declared she was going to be the queen of the country. We thought she was joking until she presented a letter from Elmacia as evidence. The elders were initially pleased, seeing an alliance with Ezu Elzaran as a path to new heights for the Aceso family. However, when they learned she was marrying a dark elf, they protested. That night, we killed most of the elders who opposed my sister. For me, it was revenge for exiling her.

A few days later, Elfan was already at the estate, though in the outskirts. On their wedding day, I saw him for the first time. He looked average, nothing special. I was still angry at him for taking my sister away. They moved into the royal palace, and he caught an assassin who tried to kill my sister. Maybe he wasn’t so bad after all. Every time I met Leona, she would talk about their loving relationship. Soon, I found myself wanting to be loved like that. I wanted a man who would give me that kind of attention. I got jealous and thought maybe we could share him, as we always shared everything. He was a smart man who managed to make other noble families bend to his will without violence. I started to imagine him in my arms. The only problem was my sister's obsession with him.

One day, I received a report that the council of elders was unhappy with the queen’s attempts to force major families to work for the palace. I rushed to the palace to warn my sister, but Sana told me she and her husband were out. I went to the dining hall to wait for her. As I waited, I panicked. What if Elfan was with her? Would I be able to contain myself? Lost in thought, I dreamed of him touching me and kissing me gently. I wished never to wake from that dream. But it wasn't a dream; it was reality. He had mistaken me for my sister. I pretended to be angry, but deep down, I was happy. At that moment, I knew he was mine. I would get him no matter what. What belongs to my sister belongs to me.

Later, I heard that he had convinced both the Whiteheart and Vermillion families without violence again. I knew the man I chose was the best. Today, he is meeting with the council of elders. I hope nothing bad happens to him. I don't trust those old hags, especially the third elder. He will have to come to the main estate to report about the meeting with the elders. I cannot wait to meet my man.
