“Ah, my younger sibling, right. The one with those two hair colors? It was a cute child with quite strong powers. It’s not good for them to be alone. Go check on them.”

Hwangdoju nodded.

There were so many things I wanted to ask, but my mind was in disarray. So, I bowed my head.

“I’ll leave now. I’ll be back soon.”

“Yeah, yeah. I’ll be waiting for you anytime.”

His voice, somehow filled with loneliness, made me feel a bit sorry. Still, for now, I wanted to leave this place. In the end, I grabbed a few books and left.

I was still dazed because of the unexpected revelations from an unexpected existence.

‘There shouldn’t be any problems.’

I tried to comfort myself. It wouldn’t be a problem even if I were discovered. Hwangdoju said he wouldn’t talk about it, and even if others knew, it wouldn’t change anything.

Who would believe it? So, there was nothing to worry about. Though my heart was pounding like crazy, I tried to suppress the anxiety and headed towards the Star Palace.

“Miss, are you okay?”

Ken, walking beside me like an angry person as soon as we left the library, hurriedly followed.

“Ah… I’m fine.”

“Yes.”

Only after hearing his words did I slow down a bit. Then, I maintained composure as if nothing had happened. But thoughts about Shasha filled my mind.

‘If Shasha finds out that I’m not the real Isabella, will she be sad?’

To my sister, who said with her round eyes that I was the best in the world… What if I say, ‘I’m not really Isabella; I’m just treating you well because I feel sorry’? Would Shasha not hate me and still like me?

‘There’s not much difference between treating Shasha well in the temple and doing it here.’

There’s a big difference between being treated well by family and by others. Especially for Shasha. The child always longed for the love of ‘family.’

I thought it would be okay, but fear rushed in.

Would Shasha hate me?

Thinking about how much love she had given me, it should be okay.

Having such thoughts, I smiled sarcastically.

‘Anyway, I didn’t want Shasha’s love. I just wanted the child not to become twisted like in a novel, not to grow up as a villain tree, and to be able to become an adult. So why am I seeking the child’s love, even though I treated her well?’

Just comparing Noah to Shasha, what kind of love do I want?

Smiling with my head shaking, I hugged the fairy tale book in my arms even tighter. I just need to avoid being caught. Even if I get caught, as long as I keep pretending to be Isabella, it’s fine.

‘I am… Isabella. Shasha’s sister.’

With a firm determination, I quickly walked towards where Shasha was.

While I was at the library, it seemed Shasha and Ruedello went into the room; there was no one on the bedding. It’s fortunate that the day is gradually getting darker.

As I entered the room, Shasha and Ruedello were busy with something, as always. Without entering the room, I just slightly opened the door and observed. Ruedello yawned repeatedly, seeming sleepy, and Shasha was already dozing off.

In the end, I instructed Cherti to disperse the children.

Cherti, who always knew only what the children were doing, gathered what the children were up to, and I placed them in an unknown location.

“I will fetch them and come back today, Mama.”

“Yeah, please do.”

While in the room, I took the opportunity to hug Ruedello and walked out. I gently laid the half-asleep Shasha on the bed.

Shasha, who kept dropping her head to the floor like a drowsy chick, opened her eyes dazedly after lying down on the bed.

“Unnie…”

“Did you wake up? Do you want to wash up and sleep?”

Shasha shook her head energetically in response to my words.

“Nooo… I just want to sleep today…”

Whether it was due to sleepiness or not, Shasha clung to my arm, acting cute.

“Alright. Let’s just sleep for today.”

Instead, I wiped Shasha’s hands with a towel from the side. Maybe because the towel was slightly cool, Shasha, who was dozing off, opened her eyes.

“Unnie, were you upset about being sent alone to the library earlier?”

“Huh?”

“Pig was worried about it.”

“Ah, Ruedello was worried about me?”

Whether she was half-asleep or responding, Shasha nodded her head.

“Pig… Unnie, Pig worries a lot about you. Sometimes… I even think Pig might like not me but Unnie.”

Shasha, who yawned and let out a big sigh, mumbled.

“Shasha.”

“Uuuh…”

“Shasha, does Unnie have a special power too?”

“Yeah… Unnie has a special power too. Unnie’s words feel like a strong spell… When I hear them… I naturally believe…”

I called Shasha again. However, the child did not wake up. As if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

Was I really under the spell, as the owner of the royal library mentioned? Not only me but others too?

“Shasha. Shasha, no matter what kind of existence Unnie is… I hope you’ll love her.”

I wish you’d love me even if I’m not real. Saying that, I smirked.

I wonder what’s the use of gaining hearts like this. It’s not Shasha’s feelings.

Moreover, it’s an absurd story to cast a spell.
