The little princess looked at her sister before her in frightened unease, not knowing what exactly she wanted her to do. But it definitely could not be anything good, because that was impossible!
She knew all too well that even blood relatives could not possibly matter that much to her!
Indeed, Freia had plans of her own. Even her own royal father... she did not fully trust him. The old king wanted the Philosopher's Stone, so he could only rely on her.
Freia also needed the old king's support, but she had never intended to hand the Philosopher's Stone over to him. Once she obtained the Philosopher's Stone, which could change every fate, she would naturally fulfill her own wish first.
Having grown up in the royal family, her ambitions were naturally immense.
"Don't worry! As long as you help me with this one thing, I can give you back your freedom and let you do whatever you want."
"I can even put in a good word for you with Father."
Freia gently stroked the cheek of the half-sister before her and spoke in a tender voice.

Mia's eyes widened at those words. She could do what she wanted, without having to remain a tool or something used to win others over?
"Of course it is."
Freia nodded with certainty. Yet... there was not a trace of warmth in the depths of her eyes, only coldness!
What a naïve child. But that was precisely what made her easier to control.
"Then what does Sister want me to do?"
Moved by Freia's words, Mia gathered her courage and looked at her elder sister.
"It is very simple! Do you remember the Hero who gave you a gift during the day?"
"The Hero..."
That beautiful older sister named Rita? Of course
