“Just calling forth spirits and casting magic are not the only talents. If it goes on like this, Lady Tanashia, you will be the most esteemed scholar in the Arwen Empire, no, on the continent. Wouldn’t the Duke be overjoyed to know this fact? Wouldn’t it be good to tell him honestly now?”
For a brief moment, many thoughts crossed my mind.
After all, I didn’t have special abilities like Noxia, who could control water. Nor did I feel envious or embarrassed about this fact, as I would have if I were in a novel.
The original Tanashia, ironically, envied Noxia, her younger sister, more than anyone else and everything was adjusted to Noxia’s standards.
While the original may have yearned for magical talent, I was different.
I didn’t intend to cling to something that didn’t suit me while hiding the truth from others.
“……Alright.”
As I slightly nodded my head, Matilda smiled with a bright face.
Until now, I had the feeling that everything had not gone my way, but at this moment, I felt as if I had received an unexpected gift.
After Matilda left, saying she would report this happy news directly to her father, Orlando, I composed myself and moved to my room.
Nothing had changed, but for some reason, I didn’t feel too bad.
Maybe I could use the fact that I’m a genius to change the future.
As I thought that, I seemed to have a glimmer of hope.
“Ah! Ah! Be careful!”
My thoughts were interrupted by the desperate cry of someone.
Splash─
Immediately after, a stream of water poured over my head.
I, soaked in a blink of an eye, stared in surprise at the direction the water stream had come from.
“Uh, sister……?”
There stood a girl with an even more bewildered expression than mine.
With blue eyes like mine, fair and fine skin, and radiant silver hair as if it contained sunlight spread long, she looked nobly beautiful.
She looked similar to me, but had a completely different vibe.
Without anyone telling me, I could recognize it at once.
The girl before my eyes was Noxia, the protagonist of the novel “The Beloved Saintess” and my twin sister.
A brief silence followed.
The faces of the maids standing next to Noxia turned ashen.
They seemed to think I would get angry because I was soaked in water due to Noxia.
From my experiences so far, Tanashia’s personality was not timid, but vicious. The maids of the Brelopf family who knew me better seemed nervous.
As I calmed down and looked around, I could not see any object that could have sprinkled water on me.
From the looks of it, Noxia seemed to be practicing controlling water. I, who had read the novel, knew well that the maids often made a fuss asking her to show her special ability because it was fascinating.
Above all, at Noxia’s current age, she was not able to perfectly control her special ability.
Therefore, the situation that had just occurred was a perfect accident, nothing more or less.
Thud thud─
While no one dared to speak out first, I heard footsteps approaching me.
When I turned my head unconsciously, Askan, who I didn’t know when he had arrived, was holding out a white towel to me.
“Here it is.”
“Ah, thank you.”
I, who had come to my senses, roughly dried my wet hair with the towel Askan handed me.
Seeing that, Noxia, not knowing what to do, came closer.
“I’m sorry, sister. It may sound like an excuse, but it wasn’t intentional, it was an accident.”
Her deflated look was as cute as a puppy with its ears drooped.
Since we were twins, would I look that cute to others too?
I had that thought for a moment, but soon shook my head.
Although we might look similar, the vibes we gave off were completely different.
I didn’t have the loveliness like Noxia. In fact, before my death, I often heard that I had a chic image, so this seemed to be a correct reflection of reality.
After roughly drying off, I answered in a nonchalant voice.
“It’s okay.”
“Eh?”
Noxia looked at me with surprised eyes.
She seemed to have not expected that I would accept her apology so easily.
To be sure, if Tanashia from the novel “The Beloved Holy Lady” had been involved in this event, she would have tried to tarnish Noxia’s image by any means possible.
Tanashia’s goal was always to be more loved by others than Noxia, so she wouldn’t overlook even a small event like this.
If things had gone the way they were supposed to, by tomorrow, a rumor would have spread that Noxia had deliberately splashed water to torment Tanashia.
Unfortunately, there would have been no one within the Brellof mansion who would have believed that story.
I handed Noxia the wet towel I had used and reassured her once again.
“It’s okay. It was an accident, so you don’t need to worry.”
“Mmhm.”
Noxia took the wet towel I handed her with a stunned expression and nodded her head.
“But it’s not good for you to practice your abilities here. There might be people passing by besides me, and if they are guests who have come to our house, it would be rude.”
“Ah, you’re right. I didn’t think that far.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
