As antagonistic characters, Edna and Gretta are written to have a sad background. The author wanted to show readers that bad people are born from good people who are often hurt
His family was written as a harmonious family with a kind and loving father and mother, but they were made to die by assassins when two of Schnee's sisters were 11 and 9 years old
And as if killing their parents wasn't enough, Edna and Gretta were destined to suffer with whatever they did. The author tortured them many times by making Eleanor Blume the source of all their problems so that the brothers hated the protagonist and became antagonists according to his wishes
For example, the assassin who killed their parents turned out to be Eleanor's uncle, a relative who repeatedly tried to kill Edna was Eleanor's adoptive parents, Edna's fiancee fell in love with Eleanor, gretta's debut party wasn't attended by many as they chose to come to Eleanor's debut party at the Palace, the business that the Schnee family had built long ago was outmatched by the newly created business of Eleanor, the Prince whom Gretta had longed for feeling for Eleanor, Eleanor, Eleanor, and Eleanor. All failed because of Eleanor
Eleanor is only the son of a former Baron who happens to be friends with the Prince. But since he is the main character, his life is made easier by the author. He gets a path full of flowers that are easy to walk while the antagonists have to walk on the bridge of hell
But if it's true that Edna is now back 10 years before all this 'sad background of an antagonist' starts, then she can change the storyline. He can avoid all the tragedies that have happened to him in the novel as well as his second life.
The legs of the girl who today is even 10 years old are running passionately towards the dining room without caring for her who is still wearing a nightgown and the disheveled hair typical of people waking up, he said, his heart was pounding at the thought that his family was behind the dining room door right now
Along the way Edna several times nudged the servants who were on duty, even he had fallen bounced because it hit a big enough body maid and made Sophia who followed him from behind anxious. But regardless of the pain in her body, the girl got up and ran back
His dead family, who used to make him so sad that they couldn't shed tears, were all still alive and were waiting for him to eat together. Is this real?
He had indeed proved it earlier, but if this was just a dream it would be fine since he could at least meet them once more
'May they exist.' Edna prayed inwardly and then pushed the dining room door impatiently until it opened wide.
Brak!
"Mother! Daddy!"
The purple-browed girl stood in the middle of the door, her breath still puffing after running earlier but her fatigue seemed to be worth what she saw now
Mother, father, and Gretta were there. At the dining table, the three sat with all eyes on Edna
"Edna? What's the matter? Why is he running here with this look?" Mother asked confused as well as shocked, she looked at Sophia who was standing behind her daughter asking for an explanation of the 'new' situation
The nanny cleared her throat slowly to catch her breath as she chased after Edna before explaining, "I'm sorry, ma'am. Miss Edna suddenly ran over here and asked you and you when you woke up"
".... Did ya? What's up, honey? Did you have a bad dream? Come, daughter.. "
"...."
Edna was silent on the spot with both hands clenched tightly, she bit the inside of her lips trying to hold back the tears that had been urging to come out of her eye sockets.
Unable to accept the reality, Edna used to lie to herself that what happened to her parents did not really happen, they only slept for a while and would wake up later in the day and then call his name as usual.
Their deaths bore a deep wound in Edna's heart, and it took her a long time to finally come to terms with that reality. He even dared to visit their graves after being inaugurated as the new head of the Schnee family.
Heard again the soft voice of his mother after all the terrible events.. Edna wanted to cry
"Miss Edna, are you okay?"
It took only one question and the touch of Sophia's hand on her shoulder, the tears that Edna tried to hold as hard as she could finally plunge freely into her cheek. The purple girl rubbed her tears trying to suppress her emotions, but the clear liquid just kept coming down until she finally gave up wiping her and cried as hard as she could
"Mom-Mom... Hicks, Mommy... "
Everyone who was in the dining room was instantly shocked and panicked to see that. Because even though she was young, Edna was not a girl who easily cried. Perhaps because he understood that he was the future successor to the Schnee family, Edna always acted mature beyond her age including in matters of emotional control. Gretta would probably cry when she tripped, but Edna in the same situation would just stand up again and clean her dusty clothes before looking for a waiter to get her medicine
The Marchioness, Edna's mother, rushed up from the chair and approached her eldest daughter who was crying hysterically. The woman did not understand why Edna was like this, but she understood that the cause was definitely not trivial
"Dad, brother why are you crying?" Gretta turned to her father with a confused and curious expression. She knew her sister could cry too
"Come, baby. It looks like your brother has a nightmare" replied Marquess Schnee as she stroked Gretta's hair slowly, she then looked back at the worry of her eldest daughter who was now in the arms of the wife
"Mothers... Huhuhuhoo...."
The memories of her being present at the funeral they re-spinned on her head. She still clearly remembered how painful it was to see her parents' bodies lying stiff inside the coffin, also when she saw the pieces of Gretta's head hanging rotting in the gate of the Royal fortress without being able to be buried
"Yes my.... This dear mother's daughter why are you crying, hm? It's okay, honey. It's okay, there's Mom here.. Everything's fine now. You are just having a bad dream" said the mother, gently rubbing her daughter's back lovingly
Edna clutched her mother's shirt while continuing to shed tears that she had held for 10 years. There were many things he wanted to say to them; I missed you, I'm sorry, and I love you but not a single word came out of his lips. His heart was always throbbing pain every time he opened his lips and he would only end up crying harder and harder as he tried to speak
Marchioness's eyes slowly glazed over at the sound of her little girl's cry that sounded so poignant. What kind of dream would make her daughter cry like this?
"Mom-Mom... Hiks, mom.. " Edna called out as she pleased, and the mother could clearly feel the wound in her daughter's hoarse voice
The woman leaned Edna's head against her chest, she closed her eyes and replied "Yes, dear.. I'm here."
"Mom-Mom... Don'tdon't... Hiks, leave me alone"
"Mom won't leave you, Edna. I'll always be by your side with Dad and Gretta. Don't cry yet.."
'Lied. One more year mom and dad will leave me and Gretta alone in this horrible world Edna replied inwardly, but the sound of her mother's heartbeat that she could hear made her realize that she still had time to turn that dark life into a mere nightmare
She has memories of two lives that could save both her parents, as well as Gretta. This time it's not too late, Edna can still keep her family from tragedy
'really... I will take care of my family's life and smile this time' Inner Edna while stopping crying, she wiped the rest of her tears even though still occasionally as she pleased
"Dearest edna... Are you done crying?"
"alright. You can tell Mom whenever you want"
The Marchioness pulled Edna off her hug as she was calm, but the princess shook her head again as she hugged her neck
"Don't leave me, mother"
"Mom didn't leave you, baby. I just want to take off the hug because we have to go to the dinner and breakfast table, Dad and Gretta are waiting for us"
"I don't want breakfast so don't let me go"
In her second life, Edna died on her 20th birthday, meaning she was already fully an adult before she returned to the past. But now he's acting spoiled like a really 10-year-old kid
'Devil concern with my mental age, everyone must be like this once they meet back their dead families' inner self-defense, he said, he rested his head on his shoulder and closed his eyes hoping this moment could remain forever
"Edna, baby... It's your birthday. Mom and Dad have a present for you, do you want to open the gift with me?" bargain Marquess tried to persuade Edna after seeing a wave of his wife's hand asking for help
"No want"
"Sister, I also have a gift for sister. Aren't you going to open my presents, too?" gretta asked with a clear face, but she was also rejected by Edna. "Why? I've had a hard time choosing Sophia for a gift"
"Say I don't want to!"
Hearing the strong rejection from her sister, the two-year-old little girl glazed over. "Bad brother! Huaaa.." shouted Gretta before changing into tears
"Gretta's... Honey, your brother's mood is not good because of his nightmares, he is not evil or does not want to open your gifts. I'm sure she'll open it later, Gretta, don't cry?"
Gretta ignored her father, she looked straight at her brother while thrusting her gift "Sister... Huhuhoo.. Please accept my gift"
Nyuth... Edna's heart wobbled to see her brother standing holding a box as he sobbed and begged her to accept it.
The memory used to be when Gretta was dragged forcibly by Royal troops to be put to death entering Edna's head, when the sister also cried bitterly pleading with her as now. The difference now was that he could stop the crying and help her, unlike before who could only fall silent without power
Edna let go of her mother's embrace, she approached her sister and wiped her tears. "Don't cry, Gretta. I'm sorry"
"Hiks.. All right, but you have to accept my gift"
"Hm. I'll take it. Thank you, my sister" she replied, Gretta smiled broadly hearing that was inversely proportional to Edna who looked sad again. "others.... I'm sorry, please forgive me"
"Np? I've forgiven brother"
Tests. Tears fell back on Edna's cheeks, but she was determined to focus on changing the future and not crying anymore, but her deep guilt for failing to avenge Gretta seemed to open the tap of tears that had been closed tightly
"Hiks.. You don't get it. I'm sorry, please forgive me" Edna said, holding Gretta's hand with her head bowed. "You must be sorry you have a sister like me, right? I wasn't.. Hiks, a good brother to you. I'm sorry"
".... I said I forgave my brother. This brother why the hell?" nagging Gretta while forcibly pulling her hand, she flinched when Edna pulled her in a tight embrace
"You're the best sister, Gretta. I love you so much, I'm sorry I just said it now.. Hix"
Tok!
The Marchioness turned her head while rubbing the corner of her watery eyes as she was moved by the interaction of her two daughters, she looked at the servant who bowed his head respectfully to her. "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry to interrupt your time, madam. The Diven family has just arrived and is now waiting in the living room" the maid reported
"We'll be there soon" the Marchioness replied, and she turned to look at Edna after the waiter left. "Edna, how about you go take a shower and get ready? The Diven family came to celebrate your birthday so you should greet them well, right?" he said, causing wrinkles on the forehead is very princess
'Diven? Why is his surname no stranger to my ears huh? Ah, don't tell me...'
...*****...
E D N A's
"Nah Edna, this is Jeffrey Diven. She's your fiance from today, you have to be nice to her"
I folded my arms around my chest while staring at the boy in front of me fiercely. It was fitting that I felt familiar with the name 'Diven' earlier, it turned out that it was the surname of someone I really wanted to avoid in this third life of mine
Jeffrey Dive. The second actor who ended my life
"Hello, Edna. Please help from now on" Jeffrey smiled sweetly as he extended his hand and I could not believe this. Was it our first introduction when she was this good to me?
"Edna? Jeffrey has greeted you, don't you want to return the greeting?"
Ah, wait. She was very kind at first because it was me to fall in love with her, but one day everything suddenly changed and she then started showing her true nature to me
I won't fall in the same hole a second time. Jeffrey Diven, I already know what your true nature is so don't expect me to be nice to you again
"I don't like you" I refused.
Let's cancel this doom-bearer engagement.
