After all, if it was because she had been disobedient, she could change.
But every time, all she received was greater disappointment. No matter what Yetana did, she was always the one who got scolded, while Yetana emerged completely unscathed. Many times, Yetana had clearly been the one to come up with the troublemaking idea, and she had told their father as much, yet she was still the one punished and reprimanded!
Yetana always received smiles and praise, while she... was only the one they despised.
Xianna envied Yetana! Yetana was the one who was loved!
Not only that, Yetana was also the legitimate heir! She had no children, and the direct royal bloodline of the duchy was exceedingly sparse. Once Diana died, no one would be able to rightfully inherit the Duchy of Toussaint! If Yetana died, Toussaint would fall apart!
Killing Yetana meant destroying everything their father cherished! His nation! His family! His most beloved daughter! Everything would be destroyed!
Xianna kept trying to convince herself to do it quickly! There was a vicious curse upon the ornament on her head. As long as she stabbed a vital spot, Yetana would surely die! Not even divine magic could save her!
But for some reason, Xianna simply could not bring herself to act! Her hand would not rise, and her heart ached unbearably!
"Why are you protecting me! Shouldn't you hate me? I killed your subjects, your aunt, your people, and I even wanted to destroy your country! Destroy everything you protect! Why are you still protecting me! Why? Just because I'm your sister? I'm nothing but a lowly bastard who deserves to die! I shouldn't have been born at all! Why do you still acknowledge me as your sister? Why do you still protect me?"
Xianna screamed hysterically
