My Sister Picked up the Male Lead - Chapter 1
Views: 0
However, when I was 6 years old, my father got caught in a power dispute which killed my parents, forcing the only surviving members of our family — me and my older sister — to escape to a secluded forest.
Since then, we have been living peacefully.
So the fact that, at one point in time, I lived as a person other than Amy in ‘Korea’ for more than 20 years, did not have a big impact on me.
As if I was a small and significant star in the universe, I lacked an actual influence to become someone other than Amy, so I could continue living as Amy even with these memories.
Even though I can’t go back, I am still Amy.
Just that this world was in a book I read a long time ago.
Especially since I would be 16 this year, my sister told me that she had prepared something very special last night.
Although I was old enough not to get excited over a few words… I still only fell asleep at 3 in the middle of the night because I couldn’t contain my excitement.
“Surprise, Amy! Look at this!”
“Diana?”
My older sister, Diana, woke me up from my sleep. If it weren’t for her, I would have not woken up until the sun rose high in the sky.
My sister laughed happily until it seemed as though her eyes were going to fall off.**
I could not believe what I saw when I opened my eyes.
“Diana… what is ‘that’?”
“What do you mean ‘that’! It’s your friend. Didn’t you say you needed a friend?”
“That was so long ago! Wasn’t that something I said 10 years ago when I was 6? But more importantly, where did you get the kid?”
In front of me, there was a boy who looked to be about 8 years old.
Diana may look like someone with some missing screws, but she was a sensible older sister who was quick on her feet. She was not a person who would just pick up a child.
Looking at my sister who did something other than the expected, I calmed down unexpectedly.
My sister who has been wary of strangers, couldn’t have just picked up a boy because of his appearance or his black hair colour as if she had become another person.
This is a scene from the romance novel I read.
Oh my god.
I drew a cross in my head as I exclaimed, again, in my head. Dear God, the day I wished to never come has finally come.
That small boy is him. The male lead of the romance novel, the Grand Duke.
What kind of Grand Duke is a small boy? Well, there is a reason for this.
I am currently in the scene where the male lead had gotten into an accident staged by his older cousin, the Crown Prince, on his way to the Imperial Palace and lost his memories but is taken in by an older woman and was well taken care of.
On the other hand, my role was to appear in the future and scream at Reynok, “You’re the one who killed my sister!”. That’s right. In the end, me and my older sister were just tools the writer used to motivate the male lead so that he could kill the Crown Prince and my older sister died just because she picked up the male lead.2
I looked at the male lead uncertainly. I knew this would happen, but it seemed like I lacked the determination to prevent it.
“Diana, bring him back to where you found him.”3
“How could you say such things about the child in front of him?”
My older sister, continued smiling, thinking that I was only joking. She even playfully smacked my shoulders.
“He may still look young, but he’s listening to whatever you’re saying. So, don’t say such things.”
The problem is in the first place, he’s not actually a child!
“Amy, say hello. From today onwards, he will be living with us. Sadly, it looks like he doesn’t have any memories.
“Yeah…”
Of course, he doesn’t. His head was beaten up, of course, he lost some of his memories.
“What should we name him?”
My mouth gaped like a goldfish before I quickly closed it.
No, I can’t. This is not something I can resolve just by getting angry at my sister. I have already tried so hard to make us leave this place before my sister could pick up the male lead but it was to no avail. When I was younger, I would try to coax her, whine and I even got angry with her! I made up my mind when I saw my sister standing her ground even if she died.
Yes, let’s be nice to the male lead. Wouldn’t it be nice if I could treat him well and escape before Crown Prince finds us? What do you think, male lead?
I looked at the boy with a complicated look before sighing and saying, “Then, …”
The words that I was going to say may hugely affect the flow of the story. Even though I hesitated and spoke slowly, I didn’t take too long to think. I was going to save my sister and take over her role on her behalf. I made up my mind.
“What about Knox?”5
“…”
“Because you picked him up at night.”
The boy raised his head for the first time. Without noticing it, I stopped breathing. His black hair was so glossy and his eyes sparkled like jewels. Even though I’ve read about his appearance many times in the novel but now that I’m seeing him in real life, the writing was not enough to describe his appearance. No, this was a type of sensation that felt like it would be embedded in my heart. He was ridiculously, breathtakingly beautiful. Moreover, he had such innocent eyes.
Fine, you’re just going to ignore my words?
