Heart Kingdom, Royalty: Heart Family.

"Big one, bring a tea for your little sister." Like always, my mother called me out the same way she called. Since I was aware of it, my parents has stopped calling me by my name—that I almost can't remember my name.

"Yes, mother." I bowed my head to my mother, under the watch of the three. One had a face of disdain, another one had the face of ridicule. The other one, my little sister, had a sad expression.

My cute little sister, you don't have to be sad for me. Your big sister is used to do this.

Come to think of it, since when did I learn to always look at people's expressions before taking an action?

The children whose age barely surpassed 6, were thinking such a things. She was one of those child, that was usually compared.

No, she was forcefully compared, because her little sister were far too brilliant. What she did was outstanding, what taught to her were absorbed like sponge.

Those who experienced the joy, seeks the higher comfort, the parents were blinded by their greed of seeking for the higher authority this little one may bring to them in the future.

Thus, they secluded disregarded the bigger one.

"Here you go, little sister." I smiled to my adorable little sister. If our parents weren't around, I wanted to play with her, but current circumstances was against it.

I just need to endure a little bit…

"Hey, bigger one, where is my tea?" My mother, with the demeanour of the empress, she asked me.

"But you didn't…" I regretted what came out of my mouth unconsciously—and I prepared for the consequences of my action right now.

"Are you talking back to me? Come in my room tonight." I was sad to hear this word coming out from my mother's mouth.

"I am sorry." I apologised to her and left the scene to take the tea for my mother, and sincerely hoped that her punishment for talking back would lessen.

Midway, whilst carrying the tea in my hand, a leg came out, and tripped me down. Because of the tea, I couldn't see the leg, and I spilled the tea as I trip.

"Enough! You useless child. You disgrace my Heart Family." As I trip, I could feel myself falling in despair.

"I- I am sorry…" If it weren't for my clothes, everyone here would misunderstand me as maid, while the truth is, my position is lower than even the maid.

"*@#%¥&, come in my room as well, after you've left your mother's." Name? Oh, it's mine… my father called me out.

At this time, I can hear the sound of my heart shattering as fell deeper to the abyss.

***

The breakfast ended and I was spending the only time I can be comfortable. Either playing with my little sister, or reading the novels.

My little sister never treated me bad, and she is so cute. In some way, it's a compliment toward myself, because our appearances is almost exact, but I don't think that way.

I am just talentless, coward, unsightly person. How my parents look at me is the proof of that. If I was even 10% capable as my little sister, it would've been better.

"Big sister! Let's play Jumprope together!" For some reason, that little sister of mine, love me as much as I love her.

"Okay!" I hold the right rope and my little sister hold the left one. We jumped in sync and the rope passed our feet. Although it was repeating, it was fun.

At around the 40, my leg would always get tired and around 60, I was always the first one to trip—and stop the jumping rope. This always sadden me. If I was more capable, we could have jumped more longer.

Fun never lasted for eternity, and the more you cherished it, the easier it is to be loose from your grip. It's weird that you tighten your grips but what you're doing only bringing the opposite effect.

"Big sister. Let's escape from this kingdom." What came out from my little sister dumbstruck me.

"What are you saying, little sister?" My understanding couldn't keep up with what my little sister was saying.

"Tomorrow, our father and mother will be out from the house for one day." I still didn't understand.

Why escape from this place? They've been treating you well. They give you delicious food. They gives you a cute dress. Your maids take care of you well. So… why?

"Why? Is it for me?" I tried hard to wrack my brain, and his is the answer I came up with.

I may have used her love for my own sake. Through this, I may have used little sister for my convenience—for my happiness.

Although I love my little sister, I may have unconsciously tried to get her good-willing so I can be happy in the future… like my parents did.

If so, I don't want it. I may have not noticed it until now—but now that I am aware of this, I don't want to do it.

From now on, I want her to be down her heart. I don't want to crush my little sister's happiness for my own sake.

I don't want to drag her down, anymore… my true sounds of heart.

"Yes. It's for you big sister. I don't want it anymore. My mother and father finding reasons to call you in their rooms and torturing you every night." When I noticed it, my little sister was crying.

"I don't want to hear your anguish in pain. Even if I tried my best to cover my ears, I can still hear the torment in your voice. I feel my heart shattering whenever I see your 'died' eyes every morning." My little sister was a very gentle person.

"B, but… what if our mother and father find it out." Huh? What am I saying? Why am I speaking as if I agreed with her request?

I don't want to drag her down anymore. My little sister is capable, talented. If this went on, her appraisal would turn out great, and she would receive a great grimoire. I don't want to ruin that bright future of her.

"I don't care whatever happens to me but, if you were punished with me, I am afraid…" so, why am I still speaking like this? I cried, my voice was shaking.

I don't want to be saved. I don't need to be saved. I am the only one who needs to suffer.

"It's okay, big sister! For once, leave it to your little sister. I will figure this out, and after that, let's live a happy life together, just us! No mother and father. No maids and butler to ruin our happiness!"

With a sun-like smile, she extended her arms, waiting for her big sister to take it.

"I…" I couldn't utter a single speech, as if my vocal cords were broken. I don't need her saving. I don't want to ruin her everything. I…

I..

I..

I..

"I want to be saved." The glass that have been secretly filling up within the girl have exploded, and for once, she managed to utter her true thoughts.

She took the hand. No, the sliver hope in this life of her which was nothing but darkness. She wanted to live happily.

She don't want to feel pain everyday anymore.

She don't want to be looked down by anyone anymore.

She don't want to her parents' voice anymore.

She wanted a normal friends.

She…

"GET OVER HERE!!" A strong shout echoed the entire area, as the sounds of chain travelling reached their ears.

Although I reacted a little bit slower, my little sister reacted faster, and pushed me out from the chain's trajectory.

At the tip of the chain, there were sharp metal, shaped in anchor, designed as to caught a human flesh.

Without a doubt, my little sister who pushed out my body was caught by the hook, the hook digged deeply in her flesh, as she was dragged toward the dark fog with great speed.

My face filled with tears, I screamed toward my little sister who was dragged by this unknown hook.

Once again, the 'hope' is leaving from my grip. The more I cherish it, the more it's leaving from my hand. I keep falling in despair. I even involved the only person I loved…
