Twin to the Hero, Daughter to the Demon King (1)

Miyu woke up to the crying of the child next to her, she tuned him out as she moved her tiny hands around.

"Such a creepy child" said the women, Miyu started at her but didn't say anything. The was her mother, she looked at Miyu with indifference as she picked up the crying child with love.

Sylvia Owen, is the older twin to male lead Antonio Owen. They were born to a pair of Famers far out in the countryside. As the two grew up the clear difference in treatments was always present. Although it was never showed in the story that the family of four was anything but happy. In reality, the parents where very neglectful of the older twin Sylvia. A priest came to the town and took the male lead away, he was to be the hero that saved everyone and kill the demon king. While he was away the demon's raided the village and killed everyone. His entire family was slaughtered, Sylvia included.

This served as the purpose to fuel the male lead with purpose.

That is pretty much Sylvia's story, she died at the age of ten, slain by a demon.

[Take your time, don't worry about the rest.]

Miyu stared at the wooden ceiling as she no longer heard Rachel's voice. After blinking a couple of times, she started stretches of light of all different colors flying around. She watched then dazed, before feeling she wanted to touch them. She reached her arms up and started to wave them around to touch them.

But they were far away.

"What are you doing." Said the women glaring at Miyu with disgust. But Miyu didn't pay any attention to her as she struggled with a barely developed body. Until she gave up and just dozed off into sleep because of little body not much energy.

She woke up again hungry, her body's mother didn't even bother to feed her. She turned her head and saw that her bed companion was gone. Her mind wandered as she closed her eyes and used her ability to strengthen her little body.

She felt it was possible that here body's parents would starve her. She lifted her hands and made some muffled sounds at the shimmering lights above her. Before getting tired again and then falling asleep from exhaustion.

By her first months, she started to crawl around, of course, her parents continued on with the theme that she was creepy and a disgusting child. So, they were fine with her crawling around and almost never coming back.

She was already walking by the time she was six months, which upset the parents.

Skip some more time and they are finally six, a few days from now the priest will come and take her twin away, and then a month after that the village will be raided and destroyed by the demons.

Miyu was in the field with a basket collecting wheat, it was one of her many chores that her parents assigned. Some distance away from her toward her home, her parents and twin were laughing having fun.

She finished rather quickly and went to the mil to make some flour. She came back to the house when she was finished, her brother just stared and frowned.

"Where did you go?"

"Chores" Miyu responded back tilting her head and then turned to get herself some soup to eat.

"Why, didn't you bring me?"

"Silly, those chores aren't for you" The father ruffled their son's head.

"But, Dad. You do it, why can't I."

"Sweetheart, its because you don't need to do it." The mother said as she slapped Miyu's hand that was trying to get some soup and grabbed the bowl she had and tossed it back where Miyu got it from.

Leaving Miyu to just stare at her hands without any expression, before turning and sitting by the door and staring at the ground. The three seemingly forgot about her as they talked amongst themselves.

"But, then why can, Sylvia do it and not me?" he said upset. "All of my friends have chores and I don't, so why can't I have some." He complained.

"You know what sweetheart, your right, we wouldn't want you to feel left out. Hun, how about it?" The mother asked and the father nodded his head.

"Since, my boy wants to do big people things, sure." The father smiled as if he was proud of his son taking the initiative to be helpful. Afterword's three enjoyed a family conversation until they went to bed. Miyu only got up to eat and clean everything up once they were asleep and ran outside to sleep in the shed as that was where her room is now.

Surprisingly her good-natured male-lead of a brother never asked.
