"Is everything alright?" Shi Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw her blushing; he could even see her ears turning red.

"No, no problem."

Rem took a deep breath, composed herself, and then unbuttoned all the buttons to help Shichen take off his pajamas.

She then realized that Shi Chen's skin was almost too good, even more flawless than her sister's.

She doesn't usually pay attention to it.

"Clothes." Shi Chen took a modern jacket from the King's Treasure and handed it to him.

He put on a t-shirt first, then let Rem help him put on his jacket.

"Pants......"

"We don't need the pants, do we?" Shi Chen looked at her amusedly.

"I understand..." Rem nodded, her face flushed, and turned away.

Shi Chen quickly changed into his pants.

"Alright, let's go outside." Shi Chen led the way and walked outside.

The two little girls can go back to sleep.

"Okay." Rem followed him out of the room.

"What are you planning to do next?" Shi Chen asked, standing at the door and waiting for her to close it.

“I should go make breakfast,” Rem replied.

"In that case, I'll go take a look in the courtyard."

“Okay, by the way, do you have any favorite foods?” Rem asked.

"Do I like any particular food? Nothing special, but Rem makes it so delicious, I like it all."

"I understand." Rem smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"Then I'll look forward to your breakfast." Shi Chen rubbed her head and walked towards the courtyard.

Rem stood there until Shichen's figure disappeared around the corner before walking towards the kitchen, her lips curving upwards in an undisguised smile.

When Rem arrived at the kitchen, she found her sister already there.

"Good morning, sister."

"Good morning... Rem, what happened? Why are you so happy?" Ram immediately saw Rem's smiling lips.

"Really?" Rem was unaware of her own ignorance.

"Did you go to wake Shichen up?" Ram asked.

“Yes,” Rem replied with a smile.

This morning was the best moment she'd ever been, even though nothing had actually happened.

After all, she had never been so relaxed, having gone from being far away from her familiar hometown to being hidden away in a huge mansion.

At that time, the older sister, who had already escaped danger and lost her horn, had regained consciousness. However, before she could even feel happy, she was overwhelmed by the fact that her sister's abilities had degenerated to below normal levels after losing her horn.

Despite losing his horn, Ram's behavior remained unchanged, but he lost the talent he used to display in everything. He became preoccupied with even the smallest things, giving Rem many opportunities to lend a helping hand.

In the presence of her older sister, who has lost her former glory and is inferior to her in ability, Rem feels a budding emotion that she has never experienced before, but that is wrong.

Realizing this, what took root in Rem's mind and body was a compulsive belief that transcended her past feelings of inferiority.

In other words, the guilt of causing his sister, who was loved by the world, to be demoted to the ground.

Rem has always respected and loved Ram, driven by this sense of guilt. If she had harbored any jealousy towards her superior older sister, she wouldn't be the only one she has now.

But Rem loves her sister deeply, and she can't forget what her sister was thinking the moment her horn broke off.

So Rem began to do everything in place of her sister, approaching all things and responsibilities with the mindset of "if my sister would do it this way."

But she didn't do well at first, and the results were often far below her expectations.

She took it for granted because her older sister was more capable. Her flawed older sister and her own already inadequate self combined were not as good as her older sister in the past.

The path that should have been opened, guided, and walked by the older sister is now something that I have to explore on my own, holding her hand as I move forward, which is naturally difficult.

On this path, there is no life for a girl named Rem.

For Rem, everything she does is merely to emulate "the life her sister should have," and if she can't even do that, then she is utterly worthless.

Day after day, this thought continued to wear down Rem's mind. Becoming a servant was not her own intention, even though the mansion owner who took them in was very kind.

However, her sister was so infatuated with him that she was willing to dedicate herself to him, so she wanted to stay with her sister.

Later, she did better and better.

"You've done a great job," came the mansion owner's praise, something he'd heard countless times back home.

Don't force yourself—that's my sister's worry, her concern, but even if she tries, it's still not enough.

Why work so hard?

Needless to say?

Because if you can't do anything right, even if you give it your all, cut your soul, and burn your body to ashes.

What are you living for?

Of course, it was to atone for my own foolish thoughts on that fiery night.

How can I atone for my sins?

Only by risking my life can I forge the path that my sister, whom I have taken from her, should have taken.

Because everything about herself was a degraded product of her sister, and she was merely a substitute.

And so, Rem spent seven years draining her mental energy.

She did better and better, and everyone around her praised her. She was even praised for being smart and capable, and was appointed as Roswaal's confidante at a crucial moment in the royal selection.

Nevertheless, Rem's heart was still filled with an ever-present anxiety.

The accumulated guilt not only failed to disappear, but even intensified, forcing her to dedicate her life to her sister.

Until the time came.

In the other person's eyes, she was no one, nor a substitute for her sister, but simply Rem.

In his eyes, she was full of good qualities.

Despite still feeling guilty, she found herself relieved.

She became herself again.

"So that's how it is..." Ram stared blankly at her sister, who seemed completely transformed.

"Sister, let's hurry up and make breakfast, we can't wait any longer."

"it is good......"

Chapter 501 It's so good to have met you

"Shichen, the clothes are ready!"

In the afternoon, while Shichen was playing Connect Four with Esther and Betty, Rem suddenly burst in excitedly.

"Clothes?" Upon hearing this, Shi Chen looked up at Rem.

She was holding a white outfit in her hands. The style was unclear, but the material looked excellent, and the exposed parts looked particularly exquisite.

These are clothes that the maker worked hard to make.

"Shichen, come and try it out!" Rem urged excitedly.

“Okay, let’s put this game on hold for now, and we’ll play again tonight,” Shi Chen said to Betty.

"Hmph~ Tonight it is then, don't go back on your word later." Betty snorted.

"How could that be? I have the advantage. Just don't try to renege on your promise later."

“Betty would never cheat!” Betty retorted, dissatisfied.

"Amazing, amazing."

Shichen rubbed her head, picked up Esther and put her aside, then got out of bed and came to Rem.

"Let me help you change, Tokimitsu." Rem's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Okay." Shi Chen nodded.

Today is the third day since we dealt with the sorcerer, and Rem has come every morning to wake him up, change his clothes, and make him breakfast.

Because of her, I don't dare to sleep with Betty in my arms at night anymore.

After all, he knew his own habits and couldn't let Rem misunderstand that he would make a move on a little girl like Betty.

Rem helped Tokichi take off his coat, then unfolded the clothes she had made and dressed him in them.

The clothes are somewhat like a tailcoat, mainly white, and look like a knight's outfit.

Needless to say, the materials are top-notch, just like Rotzwaal's.

Rem stood behind Shichen, intently smoothing out his wrinkles.

He knew Rem hadn't done it unintentionally; it was intentional, because she had been sticking close to him like that yesterday morning.

She started flirting with him after only two days.

If Rem hadn't been too afraid to look at him, he would have really thought she had done it accidentally.

Forget it, there's no point in explaining this kind of thing.

Esther and Betty were also watching the time, and they watched as he gradually became like a knight, his eyes shining brightly.

"Brother Chen, you're so handsome!"

"Chen, you're so handsome!"

The two were generous with their praise.

"is it?"
