"...What are you doing?"
Nanny said as she was glaring at me as if looking into something disgusting.
I did not answer her, instead, I tighten my embrace on my little sister, my right was on her silver hair as I gently rubbed her back not minding the warm wetness in my clothes.
"Me..."
" What?"
"Punish me, she will die."
Nanny did not reply for a moment but instead hit me with her whip.
- Waaapaak!!!
I don't know how many times she hit me with her whip as I don't feel the pain, I just continue hugging my little sister waiting for this moment to be done.
I look at the nanny whose face was full of delightfulness, I suddenly glared which she stopped momentarily.
But I am not glaring at her, but instead at 'her'.
I notice her she was slowly rising at the nanny's back, she was about to swallow the nanny whole.
"Don't."
I don't care about her life, her existence, I really mind if she were gone right now.
But it will cost trouble if she died here it will be troublesome about what the many possibilities of consequences could occur.
One of these is that my little sister is here.
It could cause a traumatic experience for her and if this found out, they might do something to me.
I can kill the nanny later on but that will also become a problem.
It could cause the attention of other nobles, I think because the nanny is well known in this kingdom, she would not be our nanny and etiquette teacher if she isn't.
The nobles could use her death to bring problems to this dukedom.
Now, I don't care what happens to this place, or politics but I am still a kid, I'm still weak and even if I have her, that does not change the fact that my age is a problem.
So, I must endure until I reach thirteen and get out of here.
...and maybe, just maybe...
I can find a life-I would like to experience...
"We are done... Get back to your rooms...."
I quickly stand up and let go of my sister and head towards the door.
"S-sister..."
Once I open the door, I heard the voice of my sister, my eyes gaze at her, looking at this poor girl whose future is terrible, I can only turn my back on her.
It is dangerous, I must not get close to her...
With that set on my mind, I stopped protecting her, enduring not to move, until I turn 12...
In all of those years, my interaction with Lilia is no longer there, and the pain in my heart keeps growing as the day goes by.
I don't understand what it was, no, I am aware of this feeling.
Seeing her suffering like that is just like seeing myself, and not doing something which is to protect her is similar to me not doing anything in my previous life.
I'm scared...
I am...
I don't, want to interact with her...
-*shatter*!!!
I turn my head toward my sister who was now pale all over her body.
"That was wrong my lady, that is not how a proper lady should act, if the duke see this he would feel ashamed for having a daughter like you."
"S-s-sorry..."
"Please repeat that."
"I-i A-apologies.... F-forgive m-me..."
"My lady, speaking to someone while stuttering is completely wrong, please face the wall there."
"S-sorry, p-please...!"
"Please face the wall."
...
Don't do anything...
I stared at my sister who was now trembling, she gained height but her weight only increases by 2 pounds.
She was a bit small for her age, well... I am not one to talk.
All of these years, the duke or our father did not come, more like, he only interact with my sister, and my half brother as well doted on her but he was in the academy right now and couldn't go home unless it was a vacation.
None of them did know what was happening here inside the etiquette room.
All of the servants here, especially our chamberlain are profiting from us.
The nanny gets a hold of them and scared them as well as the maids here in this mansion.
None of them reported what was happening here, turning a blind eye so as not to get the anger of a nanny.
And the duke and my half-brother trusted her since apparently, she was a friend of the deceased duchess.
I don't know how she befriended the duchess but thanks to this, the duke and my half-brother trusted her very well.
I still remember two years ago, I tried reporting this to my half-brother when he went here however, he did not believe me and was reprimanded for me telling a lie.
As for Lilia?
She was trembling and did not speak.
And I can understand that if I don't have my past life memory, I would probably like Zilla from the story.
Hate her sister for being loved, sensitive in her birth, gloomy, wanting to be loved...
... I don't need their love, what I need and want is their money.

I was snapped back when I suddenly heard a painful cry.
My eyes caught sight of my sister whose hand is on the wall supporting herself and not to fall.
Her legs that getting whipped are trembling along with the new soon-to-be scar on her lower body.
I gripped my fist and looked down, I won't do anything... I won't...
"I'm s-sorry.... Forg-give me... P-please....hicc...father..."
'I'm s-sorry... Forg-give me... P-please... Hicc...sniff... Father...'
I suddenly remember those words in my past which force my body to move and blocked the upcoming whip on my sister.
-Waapaak!!!
Sigh...
Lilia stared at me with surprise but I did not look at her, it is a problem...
I know why I'm scared of helping her...
I know what it was...
I hate it.
I hate that feeling, what I feel about her every time I look at her.
"Oh my~ it seems you wanted to be punished instead of her."
With that said, she continue to slash me with her whip.
I really hate it.
I could not help but hug my sister tightly, I don't care about her... Yes, I don't.
I don't like her, but... Seeing her is like seeing myself, when ironically what she was experiencing is what I also experienced.
No, it is more like, I don't want to see other people suffering from this.
Does that consider me to be soft?
I don't know, I don't understand this feeling as well.
"Don't do anything..."
I whispered to no one, but maybe my sister heard it, I don't know.
But that words did not come out of anywhere, it is from her who wants to kill the nanny.
5 more months, I will turn fifteen.
And I will get out of here, and the first person I will kill will be her. This nanny abuse us for many years.
"I don't know why are you doing this but, this is fine too, an existent no one knows exists and a little bitch who's innocent just like that bitch duchess."
When the whip was about to hit me again, I quickly grab it out of nowhere.
And I glared at her.
She flinched and stepped back with her knees began to tremble, my shadow grabbed her ankle which lost her balance.
I soon calm down remembering my sister is here.
"I would like to apologize for my sudden outburst, I must have lost control for saying that, nanny."
Nanny just kept silent with sweat keeps pouring down her face, with that said, she did not reply, so I left the etiquette room.
I then stayed in my room until it become an afternoon.
I quickly suit myself and left the manor to buy myself food to eat.
The knights that are guarding the gate did not mind me passing by, this situation becomes a normal occurrence and none of them even made a move.
That is also fine by me.
Once I cannot be seen by their eyes, I change my path and hide in the big tree.
"Hey, the usual..."
I said and she appeared right beside me, she looks that similar to me becoming a pure black color covering my whole body, and half of my face is also covered.
It was a pure dark cloak and also she covered my mouth so I will be unrecognizable.
"Teleport me there..."
I said and then I descended on the shadow, the next thing I knew, I was in an alley with no people but only shadows of walls that blocked the light.
I look to my side making sure no one see me and then walked away from the spot.
As I reach my destination, I fasten my walk and went inside the restaurant.
As I was already inside, the waitress who saw me smiled at me and walk towards the person at the counter.
I walk there and looked at him.
"The usual pipsqueak? "
"The usual gramps."
"Heh."
He smirked and walked away. A few minutes later he came back with a large box made of wood, h then place it in the paper bag and give it to me.
"2 silver as usual."
He said that I also give the two silver plus one silver for the tip.
"Thanks, bye."
I said and left after that.
With that business done, I went home and eat my dinner.
Zero: rush? Yeah, it is, I don't want to write her childhood life which is only full of abuse, distrust of her family, and whatnot. I mean... It will take longer and I don't want that.
