The Villain’s Sister Suffers Today
chapter-4

Chapter 4

It’s said that if a person is placed in a reality that they can’t accept, accidents happen .

That‘s happening to me .

“Sister . ”

I let go of the paper and stood still like a rock . My brother called out to me again . I didn’t answer and just muttered to myself .

“How?”

“What?”

“How’d she die?”

She’s the main character .

Agrita is the main character . The main character, the protagonist, the heroine, and the central character of this world!

Everything in this world is designed for her . And in that very world, she dies?

‘This is a dream . ’

I pinched my cheek . It hurt .

‘That’s ridiculous . ’

I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t think properly . Maybe there was someone else with the same name, but I quickly admitted that, that thought was only to escape reality . The paper listed her as the eldest daughter of the Grace family .

“What are you talking about?”

My brother narrowed his eyes at me in a state of panic .

I looked up at my brother . The very villain who had sent the heroine to the next world was in front of me . For a moment a curse was about to come out of my throat .

‘You’re crazy . ’

This is a real, crazy, insane child .

‘Killing the heroine? Are you crazy? Insane? Kill somebody else, you bastard!!’

But I managed to put up with it . I managed to persevere without yelling out the vulgar words I wanted to say to him in front of his face .

My life isn’t over yet .

At first glance, my future seemed to be over because of the heroine’s death, but in fact, I had one option left . I ran up to my room, ignoring my brother, who was asking question after question .

Ignoring an adult younger brother was an inevitable task .

I locked the door as soon as I entered the room . I made sure no one could come in and went to my desk . I opened the bottom drawer of the desk, and unlocked a secret space inside by pushing a button somewhere . Then I took a small box out of it .

My heart hurts .

‘I’m going to have to use it like this . ’

A few years ago, I made every effort to live after learning that this world was in a book and that my intended end was miserable .

This was one of them .

I was filled with complex emotions when looking down at the platinum square box .

‘Agrita was supposed to have this…’

This world originally had three gods .

The god of destruction, the god of love, and the god of time .

There was a temple dedicated to each of the gods . However, about a dozen years ago, they were all shut down .

‘When the full moon shines the brightest on the lowest point of the earth, a new woman will appear to look after everything . ’

Opinions were divided over the contents of that phrase .

The question was, what did it mean? Many scholars observed the weather conditions to find out what time the brightest full moon would rise, saying that it was necessary .

But they were wrong .

The full moon in that phrase had nothing to do with the actual moon, but it was like another way of referring to the crown prince, who was The Sun .

The crown prince, who went on a spree to grasp the people’s hearts, happened to come across the heroine Agrita, trying to help a poor child in a cold, secluded alley .

It was because of the phrase mentioned earlier that, Agrita, who was a princess at that time, rose up to become the Empress . When Agrita became the empress, she began to be revered by the people as a great woman for her series of good deeds .

Scholars went to the temples to learn the truth . In any case, the temples didn’t contain anything that lead to the truth .

So they made a temple bead dedicated to the God of Time .

‘It was made for her . ’

I swallowed my dry saliva down .

‘If I break one, the day will go back . ’

The temple spent ten years making thirty beads . It was worth it .

This isn’t a science fiction genre, how is it even possible?

It took ten years to make it .

‘One day’s enough . ’

Of the thirty beads, all I had were fifteen . Half of them weren’t here . I knew where the beads were and where to store them, from the book . It was not as hard as I imagined .

I think this is the right thing to do .

Of course, if the temple finds out, they’ll kill me .

‘But as a result, I can save her…’

I‘m going to use this to bring back the heroine . There’s no other choice . This is the only way you can bring a dead person back to life . Suddenly, my eyelashes trembled .

‘It’s shocking once I think about it again . ’

How, how could you kill the heroine?

‘I want to yell at him! Seriously!’

I was filled with anger . I wouldn’t have to use this bead if it weren’t for my brother . It was like my extra life . The beads were originally intended to be used after fleeing here . Like an insurance plan .

It’s impossible to know what will happen in a foreign country, so if my life was in danger, I could use it .

I took out a bead and held it in my hand .

The process of doing so was frustratingly slow .

‘I have to wake up . I have to . Agrita needs to be alive . ’

I clenched my teeth and raised my hand . Then I stopped .

‘Wait . ’

The day goes back immediately after breaking the bead .

If I was going to go back anyways… Could I…?

I jumped up .

I only thought of one thing . I opened the door with the bead in my hand and ran down the stairs . My brother was still in the same spot . I could see the servant to his right sweating a lot .

I raised my voice against him after a very long time .

“Hey!”

My brother’s gaze moved on to me . Jewel-like, yellow-eyes, looked straight at me . I could feel the texture of the bead in the palm of my hand .

I cried out with all my heart, as the day would reset anyways .

“You crazy bastard! Life’s easy because it‘s not that time of the night yet, right? It’s pitiful, so stop living that way!”

Then I threw the beads down as hard as I could .

“Miss . ”

“…”

“Miss Lydia?”

“Oh, huh?”

I’ve just come back to my senses .

I looked back, answering a second late, and saw Bessie holding a brush in her hands .

“Here’s the brush you asked for . The weather looks like it’s getting colder . ”

I blinked . I foolishly wondered why she was in front of me, and then turned back around .

‘Am I back?’

I looked around . There were no escorts, no servants, and there wasn’t a staircase .

The place where I’m standing is the balcony of my room .

As soon as I recognized the location, the open air felt cool . I took the brush that Bessie handed to me, and proceeded to comb my hair .

‘When is it now?’

I faintly remember this situation .

I went out to the balcony and looked outside, suddenly I felt cold, and asked Bessie to bring me an autumn brush .

It was something that happened yesterday .

“I’m back!”

The day actually went back .

“Miss? Are you all right?”

“Uh huh . ”

When I flopped down on a nearby chair, Bessie looked at me in amazement . I reassured her by saying that I was okay . For a moment, I felt my leg muscles relax . Was it because I time traveled? I suddenly lost my strength to stand .

“…Bessie, I’d like to be alone for a while . ”

“Oh, yes . Miss, if you need anything, call me anytime . ”

As if completely unconcerned, Bessie looked at me again and soon left the room . As soon as I saw the door close, I buried my face with both of my hands .

“Haah . ”

I really came back . And what I did before I came back in time was very vividly in my mind .

“How’d I get all that spirt?”

It was the first time in a thousand years that I had cursed at my younger brother .

Ever since I found out that there was no common sense or moral in my grown-up future brother, I cared about every word I said in front of him .

Swearing?

Scolding?

That was impossible .

‘Wow…’

I was still in a daze about how courageous I was .

‘It’s cool . ’

I thought with my palm on my face . Yes, that’s right . I was cool . Honestly, it was nice .

I felt so relieved . I felt like I was being rewarded as soon as I put all of my heart into my voice and swore sincerely .

‘I did a good job . ’

I felt a little proud . Looking back, I was really good at that . The time went back anyway . What I’ve done has become unknown to anyone else .

Oh, it feels so good to have no regrets . It’s the best .

“Oh yeah, the beads . ”

I looked down at my hand casually . The bead I had held on to like a lifeline was nowhere to be seen . I pulled myself up to go to the desk . I opened the secret space, took the box out of it, and counted the number of beads in it .

‘… Fourteen . ’

One less . Fifteen minus the one . That was the right number .
