sooooooo what's with the sister? is this purely out of fear for what silver hair would do (as in, destroying everything), or so she can stay on top, or because she cares now (which is least likely)?

I don’t really blame the sister, she was raised her whole life to be like that.

WOW page 16!

omg her "blood" family is horrible/trash. i hope she'll be able to escape soon and into the arms of her new family the salvatores...

stop hurting the baby 😭

Aha! Onii-chan to the rescue!
The secret to surviving among selfish assholes is to make their own well-being dependent on yours.

This seems like such an open-and-shut case of attempted murder. What can the marquis even say at this point? Even if you call it an outside assassination attempt, sounds like the perfect excuse for some outside knights to intervene "for her protection".

At least her sister has somewhat of a consciousness. May be a redeeming quality or just a egoistical ploy, but it matters not for our MC survived.

Thanks. I must have understood or read incorrectly. English is hard sometimes 🤣

@kiero13 No she's always been twelve. She said she turned twelve this year :D

So her greedy sister in her quest to hide MC's gift actually helped her, well at least she is good for something.

Can't believe I'm saying this but nice job evil sis!
Thanks for translating!

@MasterPannya

Burning kids? I have the perfect song for that.

About the age, Koreans have a speciality ; you gain 1 year on the 1st of January. So there's this administrative age and their real birthday. Should be why her age is not clear.

Ugh seriously that family is sick!

I hope she can stay longer with the new brother

@Fari : Not just that, the dad's so hungry for power that he will definitely sacrifice the weaker of the two (Eli) if it's necessary.

That's why Eli is afraid, as Leslie told her once "if I show them my power, do you think it'll be you in that fire half a year later?"

Yeah sure right now his plan is Eli marrying into royal family and Leslie sent to war, but if that marriage fell through, do you think he'll think twice before announcing Eli 'met with an accident'?

I really like this oni-chan.

Good Lord, finally Eli is good for something. Thank's the lord.

@kiero13: go back and read again. Her age was asked twice while at the duchess' house. The first time she said "I turn 13 this year." The second time she said "I turned 12 this year." I suspect the lack of past tense in the first one was a translator error. I don't know how tense is handled in Korean. Regardless, every time she states her age directly she's said she's 12.

@NIKAtheWorm Not worth thanking her at all, she did this 'cause she doesn't want her dad to know her little sister has powers better than her, that and only that.
