I'M The Villainess Sister
Chapter 13: Poison

E D N A's

Jeffrey's birthday is approaching, and all preparations for making lecitel do not experience any obstacles.

Calista sent a letter yesterday saying that he had found the Sendagilea plant still alive in the country of Woestijn and would soon bring it to me. In addition, I also have a secret place that I can use to concoct medicine, Sophia who feels guilty for acting presumptuously promises not to complain to Mother about this place. There was really no problem, and it made me even more anxious

It is said that everything that goes too smoothly will even cause a very big problem. Hopefully not, I have to save the Duchess

Oh, about the bouquet of flowers at that time, really can not be canceled because Calista who was too happy to get an order from me moved quickly wrapped it and now may have been in the middle of the trip. The distance between the Schnee and Diven areas is quite far, it can take days to get there especially if the journey starts from the Agora district which can be said to be at the end of Schnee so it is not possible to be canceled

Ck, don't make me explain how Jeffrey can come to my house every day if it's that far. The madman used the expensive teleportation gate as if it was his own door only to go disrupt my life

The teleportation gate had long since been used by the nobles for quick access when the King suddenly summoned them, also used if there are other Kingdoms attacking a territory of this country so that the nobles can quickly send their troops to help the region.

Once through the gate the price was deliberately made expensive by the King so as not to be abused, he said, but lately I heard from Mother that the nobles started using this gate for personal matters after learning that the last year a son of a high nobleman passed through it almost every day only to meet his fiancee

Right, what they're talking about is that stupid Jeffrey and... I'm.

"That rung has tarnished my good name and I still have to give him a birthday present?" my grunts quietly, staring without interest at the pen shop in front of me

Since it had already happened, I allowed Sophia to report to Mother about the bouquet. I thought I'd stop if I knew I'd given Jeffrey a beautiful flower protected by expensive preservative magic, but he said the gift was lacking

"You only gave the son of a Duke who is also your fiancee a flower as her birthday present?! Moreover, buy it in a store that is not too famous! Edna Schnee, quickly buy another gift that is better and more expensive!"

Huhh... I can still hear Mom's moaning at the time. And yes, that's why I'm in a very famous pen shop right now, looking for another gift

"Welcome, daughter of Edna"

"Hm. Show me the most expensive pen in the store" I said instantly because I was lazy to waste time choosing a gift. Just buy the most expensive and then quickly go to my secret place

"Okay, please wait a minute here. My waiter will bring her here soon"

I nodded, sitting in the waiting room of the store while they prepared the items. Some waiters offered me drinks and cookies, but I refused

"I'm sorry for making you wait so long, princess" The shopkeeper appeared shortly after, behind him a servant moved towards me carrying a box

The box was opened, and a beautiful pen made of amethyst stone was complete with its place which was also a naturally visible amethyst stone

"What do you think? This pen is a limited edition of our store and there are only 40 seeds in the world. Are you pleased with the pen, daughter of Edna?"

I turned my gaze as the shopkeeper's voice sounded, "How much is this?" my many. If it wasn't so expensive, I'd buy it for myself

"This pen was made by the crafters carefully wholeheartedly using the best quality amethyst crystal stones in the Hezky Kingdom so it was quite expensive. That's 10 million pounds, miss"

10 million? It's an unreasonable price for a pen even though I admit it's very eye-catching, and it's also more expensive than the 8 million cuffs I saw earlier. Buying this for a gift seems like a pat can get two mosquitoes, the mother is not angry because it is not a cheap item, and the questioner is useful also for the fool rather than the cuff

"How, miss? Would you buy it for Mr Jeffrey?" ask Sophia

I nodded without a second thought, printing a wide smile on the lips of the shopkeeper.

"Thank you, daughter Edna. We'll wrap it up for you soon"

"This pen is not for me, but a gift for someone. Sophia, go follow the store owner to discuss the payment and packaging" I ordered, my nanny nodded with determination

"OK, miss. I'll make sure there's no more mistakes"

"Hm. As long as you take care of it, I'll go to that place for a while" I emphasized the word 'it' gave Sophia a code that fortunately immediately understood

"A-Anu.. Sorry in advance for daring to arrest you, Princess Edna, "

Seeing the shopkeeper look doubtful, I frowned. "Is there a problem?"

"Nothing, this is just a piece of advice I'd like to make about the pen"

"....? Say"

"You said this pen was a gift for someone, so I wanted to advise princess Edna to write something on the greeting card we would provide. This pen itself is already special, but it seems to be more valuable to anyone who receives it if you write something as a complement"

Sophia looked at me enthusiastically, the middle-aged woman who was two years younger than my mother agreed with the shopkeeper's opinion. "Yes, miss."

I take a breath, is this necessary? Besides, Jeffrey won't open a gift from me the same way he used to. There are greeting cards or nothing will make a change

"Mr Jeffrey would love to see your handwriting, miss"

".... Alright. Just give me a small card, I don't have much to say" I broke up, the shopkeeper bowed respectfully and went with Sophia and the others to prepare the gift and the greeting card

...*****...

"Edna, how? Already picked a decent present for Jeffrey?"

Edna got off the horse-drawn carriage, nodding to reply to her mother's words. His gaze unintentionally turned towards the back of the mother, and his expression instantly turned cold

"... I've never seen her, mother" said Edna with eyes staring straight at a servant girl her age. "The new steward of our family?"

"Ah, right too. Mom came out waiting for you to come home because she wanted to introduce you to him" said Mother, looking back, the braid girl smiled innocently and then stepped forward to face Edna. "Include yourself"

"Hello, Miss Edna. Introduce, my name is Sarah and from now on I will replace the position of Sophia's head to be your personal servant"

The girl named Sarah looked down respectfully, then returned a sweet smile to her new master. Unfortunately, the cold expression on Edna's face did not change at all

'Sarahs... Why are you still my servant even though so much has changed?' edna's mind doesn't like it. In her second life, the red-haired girl was Edna's uncle's man who spied and poisoned her at every turn

Edna used to accept it because Sarah was a servant given by her uncle, the Jeffrey family also could not refuse it because she came from one of the Edna family. But Sarah shouldn't have come here because Edna's parents were intact, so why is she here?

'Don't tell me uncle still wants to get rid of me even though mom and dad are still around?' edna thought, she then reflexively chuckled softly when she realized something

"Caelus Flower... This must be because of it" he murmured softly, he then put those thoughts aside for a moment and commented a knotty smile on Sarah. "Please help from now on, Sarah"

"Ah, fine. Miss Edna"

"A-You really changed me apparently, miss" said the sad Sophia who managed to attract the attention of many people, Edna chuckled softly and then patted the woman's arm

"No one will be able to replace you as the best nanny, Sophia. But as a servant... I think it would be more comfortable if I was with someone whose age was not too far from me. Besides I can't keep you from leaving the butler's job just to keep me company going out, can I?" obviously, Sophia still looked a little sad, but she understood what her nona meant

"I understand, miss... But still.. "

"Sa-I will work very hard so that Sophia's head does not worry about Miss Edna. Please leave everything to me, chief Sophia!" Sarah exclaimed in spirit while bowing respectfully, inviting an anxious laugh from the people there. Sophia herself smiled at him, inversely proportional to Edna who constantly rolled her eyes

'You mean leave it to you so you can kill me? Cih' the grumpy purple-browed girl was in heart. He perfectly understood his uncle's short mindset, whether it was now or his previous life

The man was very ambitious to take over the territory of Schnee to try to kill the head of the Schnee family who was leading, in the second life he succeeded and therefore tried to kill Edna as well as the successor. Gretta is still too small to inherit so if Edna dies, her uncle will take over Schnee on the grounds of keeping the position for Gretta until she grows up, then it's likely to kill Gretta too if she's about to reach adulthood

But in this life both of Edna's parents did not die, then why is his life still threatened? This is due to the presence of Eleanor's twin, Caelus, which did not previously exist. Caelus is their adopted son who is the same age as Gretta, and once a look it was clear that she liked Edna's sister.

True, if it was impossible to match Caelus to Edna because he was already bound to Jeffrey, then they just had to kill Edna and then match Caelus to Gretta. If successful until the wedding, Caelus will be the successor to the Schnee family leader they can control from behind the scenes

"This is why I don't like everything Eleanor has to do. She and her twin continue to put my family's lives at risk" Edna murmured as she walked into the house after saying goodbye to her mother, behind whom Sarah followed

"Sarah," call Edna and stop walking

"Yes, miss?"

"Today until here first. I'll rest so you rest too. After all, it's your first day, better start with the light ones first, right?"

Sarah looked puzzled as she did not expect this situation, yet she nodded. "Then I'll step down for today, miss"

"Hm. Go"

"Okay, thank you, lady"

Edna walked back towards her room, and after feeling that her personal servant had gone quite a distance, the girl looked back.

When compared to him who repeats time, he must admit if Sarah is better than him because he can carry out the murder order at this young age

Had Edna now really been a little girl of the Schnee family who was 12 years old inside and out, she could not have possibly realized that Sarah was now undercover and intending to kill her, even in the past who realized it first was Rery. Edna only realized and felt very betrayed after Sarah's life was taken by the hands of her best friend

Who would have thought, anyway, the one who grew up with you and you consider the servant you trust the most is the one who secretly keeps trying to shorten your age because you are crazy about the treasure promised by your uncle?

"For the size of a particularly ruthless antagonist in a novel, wasn't my nature once too naive?" edna was feeling silly with herself

...*****...

Today Edna and her sister left march Schnee early in the morning and went to the mansion of Viscount Malhela to fulfill the call of her uncle and aunt who wanted to introduce their adopted son

Until there, they were greeted directly by the Viscount and Viscountess who seemed to have been waiting for daritadi.

"Edna and Gretta, beloved uncle and aunt's niece have come~"

"Yes my.... You guys are grown, right? It feels like just yesterday we saw you guys babies"

Edna smiled fakely, trying to look innocent and helpless in front of her evil uncle and aunt. "Np? Wasn't it at the Prince's party that time we've met? Uncle and aunt forgot yes, hehe" he said

"really? It seems that if you remember it right again, the beautiful purple girl who uncle saw at that time was indeed Edna ya, hehe"

Viscount chuckled as he rubbed Edna's hair, Edna laughed as she quietly removed the man's hand from her head. "Hehe, Edna's pretty?"

"certain... Gretta is also beautiful, the daughter of the uncle in there is also beautiful. Everything is beautiful so confused want to see which one~"

"Where is uncle's son? Mom said we should be good friends with them" Gretta asked as she looked around the house, aunty smiled and held the boy's shoulder

"Gretta is impatient? Come to—"

Plaque!

The viscount and his wife gasped in shock, they stared at Edna who suddenly hit hard enough her hand that was about to touch Gretta

"E-enna? What was? Why did you suddenly hit aunty's hand, baby?"

'Don't touch my sister with your dirty hands' Edna's mind is upset, but on the outside she's back to reviewing a plain smile. "Ah, sorry... There was a mosquito in aunt's hand, hehe"

"O-Oh so... You surprised aunt. Next time just tell me, let auntie hit her herself, okay?"

The viscount looked at his nephew with a faint frown, feeling something was strange. But she brushed the thought away when Edna stumbled across the small stone in front of her because she was too busy looking at the pretty flowers

'He's just a sloppy little boy'

"Look your way, dear Edna" said the man, releasing his grip after holding the nephew back from falling.

'Then this is how he must think I'm just a careless little boy, right?' edna's inner, sweet smile at her uncle. "Thank you, uncle"

Actually a 12-year-old child will not be that easy to stumble over a small stone because they focus on other things because they have started to enter the teenage stage so that their reflexes are better than other children, but adults are too trivial and consider children of that age are still small so they are not aware they are easily deceived using small tricks

Edna and Gretta were taken into the mansion, and as expected, the children of her uncle and aunt were Eleanor and Caelus

Eleanor, Caelus, and Gretta look surprised to see each other while Edna herself is more shocked by the presence of Jeffrey and Prince Genio here

"....??"

Seeing the purple-blinded girl's puzzled expression, the aunt approached Eleanor and explained. "Ah, you must be confused because suddenly there is someone else. Ellie we would like to invite her friend as well so uncle and aunt send invitations to the Divid and Palace region. But it was unexpected that they actually came"

"Edna, have you come?" Jeffrey waved his hands cheerfully with a wide smile

"Prince perisak.... " Gretta muttered, staring dislike at Genio who looked happy.

"Gretta's.. I found you"

"So... They're uncle and aunt's kids?" edna asked as she pulled Gretta into hiding behind her back, hiding her from the Prince

"You know them already? This is Eleanor, and the one sitting over there is the son of an aunt named Caelus"

"We met at a tea party... That brat" Gretta replied, glancing sharply at Genio

"A-bad boy? G-Gretta you mustn't call His Highness Prince Genio that way" the aunt reprimanded as she glanced awkwardly at Genio's nanny sitting not far from them

Meanwhile Genio who does not accept being called a rogue also stands up quickly from the sofa to tell Gretta that he is a good Prince, "No! I am Prince—"

"Don't come any closer!!" Edna screamed loudly while stepping back a few steps, she spread out her hands to protect the younger brother. "Don't approach my sister" he said again in a threatening voice. He thought now that Prince Genio was just a child so just like when he saw Eleanor, Edna thought she could there be a little forget about the memories of the past

But the bad memory of Prince Genio was completely unwilling to get out of his mind. The girl could still remember how the Prince himself had severed his sister's head in front of so many people as if it had just happened yesterday.

The atmosphere instantly turned cold and awkward after that shout, everyone stared at Edna who looked fiercely at Genio. They were confused as to how, and the first to take action was Jeffrey

The man pulled Genio's shoulders forcing him to sit down again without a second turning his gaze away from Edna, before then standing in front of the Prince and then commenting on the wide smile staring at his fiancee

"Edna, we haven't seen each other in days, have you missed me?" jeffrey asked as kindly as ever, Edna's trembling eyes full of terror winked slowly as she met the man's blue netra

".... I don't miss you" Edna replied slowly as her body relaxed again, she then turned to look at Gretta. "You okay, Gretta? Sorry, brother must have surprised you earlier"

"... I'm fine" Gretta replied in a tone that sounded still confused about the situation just now. She had never seen Edna put on such an angry expression all this time so she was a bit surprised

"N-Nah, because you guys seem to know each other... How about we start drinking tea? Mari, uncle drive to the greenhouse where Ellie's favorite recently" invited Viscount to try to melt the awkward atmosphere earlier. Everyone nodded and they walked towards the greenhouse

Along the way Viscount's gaze could not be separated from Edna who was walking while holding her sister tightly, as well as Jeffrey who was walking beside the girl. He raised an eyebrow while smiling as Jeffrey suddenly turned his head as if he knew he was being noticed

"... Is that the glass house?" the boy asked, Viscount looked up and only realized that they had arrived.

"Yes, please come in. Uncle and aunt have rebuilt this greenhouse so you can sit and have a nice cup of tea"

Genio glanced at Edna with a strange look, but only a few seconds saw she was already covered with Jeffrey's back

"Sister, he's why—"

Plaque!

Jeffrey slammed Genio's back without turning his head, warning the boy to stop talking. Genio pouted as he only wanted to ask while whispering, but still according to shut his mouth

They sat at a fairly large table. Edna pulled her sister and chose a seat away from the seat occupied by the Prince, while Jeffrey without needing to think long immediately sat himself next to his fiancee

Genio's shoulders descended with sadness as to how the people chose to sit far away from him, Eleanor who saw that also invited her twin to sit near the Prince. "We're sitting here ah, aren't we Caelus?" said the girl was trying to comfort the lonely-looking boy

Caelus nodded without speaking, his gaze still faithfully directed at Gretta ever since he saw the girl enter his house

Seeing the strange children's sitting position, Viscountess asked Lidya and Sophia who had come as Genio and Gretta's nannies to sit on the empty seats before she and her husband sat on the remaining bench

Viscountess opened her lips wanting to make a conversation for everyone to get closer, but she was canceled because no one noticed her. The twins are busy talking to the Prince, while Jeffrey Diven is also not stopping trying to attract the attention of Edna

"Edna, you're definitely coming to my birthday tomorrow right?"

"...."

"Edna, I'm looking forward to your card this time because last year you didn't give me one. Oh yeah, did you open my card last year?"

"...."

"Edna, I wish we could be friends at my birthday party tomorrow"

"....."

"Edna, are you listening to me?"

"...."

Edna gave a quick glance, but continued to look at her sister and said, "Gretta, don't eat and drink anything before big brother, do you understand?"

"I see, sister" Gretta nodded and the older sister commented a faint smile. She was afraid that her sister might drink or eat something poisonous even though it seemed that the one who was more likely to be poisoned was herself

".... Since the tea is ready, then please enjoy the children. It's Caelus' favorite tea" Edna's aunt said, clapping her hands, and the tea was served by servants

"... What is this tea?"

"Ah, the favorite tea of this aunt's son is jasmine tea. It smells good and tastes good, try Edna"

Edna looked at her aunt who was smiling kindly, then changed to look at the tea that was still emitting smoke. He smelled the aroma of the tea he said jasmine, but he instead smelled the faint aroma of almonds in his tea

".... Gretta, whatever happens don't drink the tea" the girl told her sister soon after realizing that there was poison in the tea. Gretta looks confused, but chooses to obey and just shut up

The viscount saw how Edna who was silent while staring at the tea with a frown was trying to hold the grin and asked, "What's wrong, Edna? You don't like jasmine tea?"

"Ah.. That's... "

'I can't believe uncle would be this open to poison me. He must be crazy to think that I would not notice the scent of almonds typical of this poison' Edna grumbled inwardly, but despite knowing that the tea was poisonous he still lifted the cup

"Sorry uncle, the tea was a little too hot so I waited for it to cool down a little" he replied with a smile, Viscount raising his eyebrows

"Drink carefully, uncle is worried that your tongue is on fire"

Edna nodded obediently, inwardly mocking her uncle. 'It's a shame to mess up uncle's plans, but I'm immune to this poison. Or should I pretend poisoning later?'

Then with high self-confidence, the purple girly girl took a sip of her tea. But shortly after that his eyes widened wide along with his coughed up self bleeding

"Jeez, Edna?!!"

Everything happened quickly, Edna's eyes rolled reflexively looking at Gretta who looked as shocked as she seemed, his vision slowly blurred as he looked at the other person who was also instantly panicked along with his head falling onto the table.

The girl cursed herself because she could have forgotten that her present body was not her body that was once known for poison

'Sorry Gretta... Your stupid brother drank poison voluntarily' he thought, his eyes had a faint look of panicked expression mixed with fear on Jeffrey's face before it closed completely lost consciousness

"DNA!!"

To be continued....

Continue to be confused, the march was called the territory of the Marquis huh

(*) Bonuses

Jeffrey stared uninterestedly at his pile of birthday gifts from the other nobles. Today is his birthday, but he's not happy at all. Especially if you remember what happened to Edna

"Sir Jeffrey, we just received a birthday present that he said from your fiancee. Where should we put it?"

"... A present from Edna?"

"Yes, before ..... Looks like the young lady bought a present for your birthday" the waiter said with a pause of hesitation, fearing Jeffrey would be offended if he discussed the day's events

"I want to see it now"

"good. We'll bring it here soon"

Jeffrey waited and before long the waiter returned with a bouquet of flowers and a medium-sized box. The man's eyebrows furrowed at the flower, was it true that this flower also included a gift from Edna?

Feeling strange, she grabbed the bouquet first. From the smell of this flower has been given preservative magic to stay fresh on the way here which is out of nowhere. In the middle of observing the beautiful flowers, Jeffrey realized there was a card inserted between the flowers

'Don't cry, okay? I'm sorry, I love you — Dear, Edna' is the one written on the card. Her handwriting belonged to Edna so it was right this was from the girl, but what was this?

"Did he just predict the future?" jeffrey said, keeping the card in his pocket and instead of taking another gift and opening the box, apparently a purple pen that looks very beautiful. There was a small card just like in the bouquet of flowers next to his pen,

Curious about what Edna wrote this time, he read the contents of the card

'This pen is expensive and there are only 40 seeds in the world so store and use it well. Happy birthday — Edna Schnee'

Jeffrey who some days looks moody was chuckling slowly. "This is new from the Edna I know" he murmured as he rubbed the greeting card gently
