Chapter 3: The Viscount’s Family and the High Priest

Furla Hihime had been in an unrelenting bad mood ever since her older sister left for Sutrena.

“Ngaaah! What the heck?! Why was someone like my sister the only one invited to Sutrena?! It’s just so unfair! Humph! ☆”

With her sister absent, her dresses went unmended, dirty laundry piled up, her room became a mess, and the entire manor was filthy. Furla gave her room a sidelong glance; it was becoming a veritable garbage dump without Sonia there to clean it. Next, Furla picked up a dress with frayed sleeves. She loved flashy dresses with lace or frills. However, contrary to her graceful appearance, she was rather clumsy, so her frilly hems ended up getting caught on all manner of things. The one entrusted with cleaning up her messes had been her sister Sonia, who’d always been good with her hands.

The estate had plenty of servants, but having Sonia do her chores was faster and she did everything so neatly. Besides, Furla enjoyed condescendingly ordering her sister around. Furla disliked her sister, plain and simple. Just like their parents said, Sonia was charmless, yet somehow insufferably composed and a Goody Two-shoes. She always looked at Furla like she was pitying a poor little child. It made Furla feel like her sister was looking down on and making fun of her, irritating her even more.

In any case, I’m only playing the part of a daughter dearly loved by her father and mother. It’s easier this way. Though I’m sure it must seem so foolish and ridiculous to my sister!

Furla wasn’t brilliant like her sister; she was the clumsy and ignorant second daughter of the House of Hihime. She couldn’t do anything on her own. In occasional introspective moments, she even loathed herself for being so pathetic.

It’s all right. I’m the charming daughter everyone loves. I get to live in this nice and cozy manor.

But Furla actually knew that her parents’ love wasn’t free. It was something they only gave her if they saw her as a conveniently “good” girl. The kind of children her parents actually loved were cute, foolish, obedient, and didn’t cause them any discomfort...just like livestock, not their real, flesh-and-blood daughters. They only cherished Furla as their mood dictated; she was but a pawn who curried favor with them. There had been a time when she’d desired true love from them, but she’d eventually realized that was simply impossible.

I choose to accept the price—conforming to my parents’ wishes—so I can lead an easy life. I’m not like my foolish sister, who despite being good at both work and her studies is a total moron when it comes to understanding our parents.

However, the current state of affairs was bad for Furla. Sonia had been responsible for the majority of their father’s work, but because she’d abandoned it and headed to Sutrena, mountains of paperwork had begun piling up, and the entire Hihime household had fallen into disarray.

I can’t live a comfortable life
