He Did Not Fall For Me

“I came to love your older sister.”

The person who said those words was the one I had loved alone for a long time.

“So I hope you’ll help me.”

My one and only older sister,
Cecilia, the wonderful sister who shines in everyone’s eyes unlike me.
Killian, the one I had loved alone, said he liked that sister.

Even while knowing that I had loved him for so long.

“Yes, I will.”

But I could not refuse the only way I had to get closer to him.

For Cecilia and Killian,
Elaine went to the Imperial Palace in her sister’s place.

There, she came to meet Theodore, a mysterious man who would not speak of his identity.

“Are you Lady Cecilia?”

Thinking that she could no longer hide the truth,
Elaine revealed her name to Theodore……

“Sir Theodore, I’m not actually my sister Cecilia.”
“Then who are you?”
“I’m Elaine.”

For the first time, she met someone who said Elaine was more valuable than Cecilia.

“……What kind of person Lady Cecilia is, no longer matters to me.”
