"Does Sereya really want to know?"

"I'm even more curious about your stolen taste for you," said Dr.

As he spoke, the release of the natural power in Sereya's hand did not stop. The curse seal was being purified bit by bit. Feeling the severe pain behind her, Lilith covered her chest.

"Oh well…"

As he said that, Lilith suddenly turned around, and Sereya pressed her hand against Lilith's back. When Lilith turned around, she became a position to hold Lilith in her arms.

Looking at the beautiful face of the girl in front of me, it was exactly the same as myself and even the same details.

Even for twins, Sereya felt that this was too magical...

After turning around, Sereya didn't dare to look directly at Lilith, so she turned her head.

"This is Sereya's body, it doesn't matter if Sereya looks over."

"But…"

"It's literally, this is Sereya's body."

Lilith emphasized it again, and Sereya heard the different meanings in her words.

"My body?"

Grasping this key word, Sereya looked at Lilith. When she looked over, Sereya noticed a mark, which was a black dragon pattern mark, located below Lilith's left shoulder.

Except for that mark, these two bodies are exactly the same, and they are simply carved from the same mold.

“That’s…”

Looking at the mark, Sereya felt that there was something hidden in it.

"It is the mark of the face-casting technique. As long as you apply this mark on a person, you can use magic to control his future appearance. As an advanced transformation magic, this process is irreversible. I was stamped with this mark shortly after I was born, which determines my future appearance. That appearance is what you look like."

"this!"

Sereya showed a surprised expression, but the surprise was only brief. Combined with her own adopted daughter, she felt that the truth was approaching step by step.

"This is what my biological father, 'Gibsk', did to protect you."

"Protect me?"

"Well, Sereya, you should know that your biological father is Claudi, my uncle and my father's brother."

"I know this, but what does this have to do with your face casting technique?"

Facing Sereya's problem, Lilith smiled miserably, and she seemed to recall some sad and helpless memories.

"This is what I learned by chance from my mother, everything starts with your father launching the change."

Lilith told the story, time went back sixteen years ago.

At that time, Sereya and Lilith were not born, and the Kingdom of Alto was facing a major disaster. In that period of frequent class struggles, the corrupt aristocratic system endangered the royal power. Faced with the weak royal family, radical aristocrats wanted to use the "Kingdom Council" to completely undermine the royal family's rights and replace them as the masters of the country.

At a critical moment, a man stood up. The man was named "Claudi Alto, Bloody Storm", and he was Sereya's father.

Claudi, who returned from a trip to the southern continent, took the lead in meeting with the old king "Rowiem", the grandfather of Sereya and Lilith. After obtaining his permission, Claudi launched an unprecedented change.

He first attracted the neutral nobles to gain voice for the royal family in the Kingdom Parliament. Through the neutral nobles' voice, Crowette held a meeting known as the "Bloody Dinner".

On that night, Claudi ordered the then-King Minister, "Elward," who was the father of Cialis, to massacre the "radical nobles" who came to attend the meeting and blocked the news that night.

At the same time, the Royal Guards acted quickly and suppressed the signs of rebellion before the radical nobles could react.

And because the leaders of the "radical nobles" were all destroyed in that "blood dinner", the radical nobles who had no heads were stunned by the sudden iron-blooded transformation. When they came to their senses, they had lost everything.

But although the military reform was successful, the impact it brought was immeasurable.

The remaining radical aristocratic forces attempt to use the Kingdom Parliament to regain their rights, but don't forget that there is a place for neutral aristocrats in the Parliament. Will they in turn help the "radical aristocrats"?

meeting!

Because Claudi's actions were too bloody and were both nobles, they were afraid that Claudi would treat them like radical nobles afterwards.

So the neutral noble turned against him and pointed all the finger at Claudi who launched the reform. At the first moment, the kingdom minister "Elwald" was punished by the parliament. The noble surname was deprived of him and took everything to protect the royal power. The whole clan only left the infancy of Celia.

According to the agreement, Cialia was adopted by the royal family, but that royal family would not be Claudi, because he offended the nobles and could not protect themselves.

The second week after the change, Parliament tried Claudi and convicted him, but this aroused dissatisfaction among the royal family. They wanted to resist, but they were stopped by Claudi with a smile.

When arrested by the parliamentary guards, Claudi left three things to his younger brother Gibsk.

A sword symbolizing royal power, a baby in a swaddling cloth, and a suicide note with blood.

The day after his arrest, the nobles united to execute Claudi secretly, and then they supported Gibsk to ascend the throne.

In this way, Gibsk understood that Claudi had planned to sacrifice himself and a small number of people to preserve the royal power and the country from the beginning. The peace and tranquility of the kingdom were exchanged for his life and blood...

The suicide note left by Claudi is written like this:

My dear brother, when you see this letter, I probably will never appear again, but don’t be sad, because someone must stand up in that situation, but I don’t want that person to be you or your father, so please listen to my last advice.

Remember it!

The aristocratic class is an untamed beast, you can rely on them to hunt food, but when one day they are hungry and want to crave more, you will only have your own body to satisfy them.

For this reason, you need to continue the changes that I cannot complete and completely eliminate these beasts. You must believe that the royal power does not need those guys to maintain. Only when you personally pick up the swords that gather at one point will the Kingdom of Alto return to peace.

I will entrust this unfinished task to you, and my daughter, Sereya, will also entrust you together. Please give her a "home" that I cannot give her.

—Claudi Alto? Bloody Storm

Upon hearing this, Sereya probably understood.

“So is that why ‘father’ adopted me and Ceria.”

"Well, my father owes Uncle Claudi and Uncle Elward too much."

"So, what does this have to do with your 'face-casting technique'?"

Sereya asked, and then Lilith answered for her again.

"Because the strength of radical nobles is still there, Uncle Claudi's transformation has made them lose everything. For this reason, they want to take revenge, but Uncle Claudi is no longer there, so they set their sights on you. During that time, the dead soldiers of the major nobles assassinated you without fear of life and death. The father was forced to announce that Claudi's daughter was dead, and you became my own sister. But in order to prevent being discovered, I was secretly beaten with the technique of forging faces. In the future, I will be the same as you and become an unquestionable pair of sisters."

When Lilith said this, she showed a sad expression, and Sereya understood the implicit meaning of that expression.

What does it mean to be my ‘sister’ when I was beaten with the technique of making my face?

That means they are "sisters". Under the threat of radical nobles and remnants in the next few years, Lilith will face the same danger as Sereya.

He did this, on the one hand, he used a smoke bomb to confuse everyone, and on the other hand, Sereya became the "king daughter". Before assassinating her, the nobles had to consider themselves.

But as for why Lilith was beaten with face-casting skills, it was Lilith, not herself...

One is out of guilt, Gibsk could not bear to hurt Sereya, and the other is…

If the news leaks the news, most people will believe that Gibsk will protect his daughter and put the mark of the face-casting technique on Sereya. If the mark of the face-casting technique is found, then that is most likely to be disguised by Sereya, so revenge will mainly be directed at her.

It can be seen that Gibsk is using the life of her biological daughter to protect Sereya in order to fulfill his promise to Claudi.

Now, Lilith has discovered this kind of thing. She found that her sister is not her own sister, and her biological father is using her life to protect a "adopted daughter".

No matter who this kind of thing happens, that person will definitely have only one emotion in his heart.

anger!

That anger was both to Gibsk and to Sereya.

After Gibsk treated "Sereya" as the first heir to the throne in order to make up for his guilt, Lilith's anger reached its peak.

A "adopted daughter" who grew up using her life as a cover not only took away her father and family, but also wanted to seize her throne. How could Lilith agree?

So, driven by anger, the scene of that year happened...

Lilith had a big fight with Gibsk and then left angrily. Sereya wanted to dissuade her but was stabbed in her shoulder. Her sisters, father and daughter broke up completely. The disheartened Lilith went to the Holy Empire and became a nun, and endured the pain of being abandoned and deceived for many years.

This is the source of Lilith's hatred.

After understanding all this, Sereya looked at Lilith again, and saw her lowering her head, tears of grievance rolling in her eyes.

Seeing this scene, Sereya suddenly felt a little pitiful...

Perhaps Gibsk could be called a good king and a good brother, but he did not become a good father, which was the biggest harm to Lilith.

Thinking of this, Sereya slowly stretched out her hand. After hesitating for a moment, she hugged Lilith tightly into her arms.

"I didn't expect you to bear so much for this body."

Sereya, who carried Lilith into her arms, comforted her, and after burying her head in Sereya's arms, the grievances in Lilith could no longer be suppressed.

“Woo woo woo woo…”

She began to sob quietly.

"You have already endured enough, so let's end it here. Although my father's approach is indeed wrong, I am still your sister. If you can't bear it alone, then share the extra burden with me."

Sereya kept comforting, but when she heard Sereya's words, Lilith's inner emotions burst out like a flood that broke through the dam.

Tears fell on the scars on Sereya's shoulders. The warm liquid stinged Sereya's heart. This pain was much more painful than the sword Lilith stabbed back then.

The two hugged each other, Sereya did not continue to speak, she allowed Lilith to vent her grievances.

I don’t know how long it has passed. When Lilith calmed down, the warm spring water had become cold. Under Sereya’s treatment, Lilith’s curse was also relieved.
To be continued...
