In a mansion like a royal palace, the residence of Duke Geraldine. It was seen that a beautiful girl with blonde hair was dressing up and she was being served by some servants in the house.

The long-haired and blonde beauty always got praise from everyone in the Geraldine mansion. Adara Brisia Geraldine is the youngest daughter of Duke Geraldine. Famous for her beauty and kindness. Wherever he goes, he shines. Even many handsome men who submitted marriage proposals to him, but he has not reached the age of maturity to get married.

"Well, I want to wear my most luxurious dress today!" Adara's word to his loyal servant named Anya, that is.

I have to be the most beautiful at that charity event.

"Well ladies, I'll prepare!" Anya answered obediently, she smiled her lipped smile.

Anya opened the wardrobe in Adara's room, she looks like she is choosing clothes. Soon a fat woman, with a big tompel on her face, approached Adara in her room. She is Adaire, the eldest daughter of duke Geraldine. Has a good heart, although he rarely talks to others and limits himself in getting along.

"Norgin.."

"What's my sister, baby? Do you need anything?" asked Adara while looking at her sister who was standing behind her.

Adaire saw her sister already look beautiful in her blue-colored dress. "Dad asked me to come with you to the charity event, she said the invitation was for me. So I had to go there, but I was confused, Adara."

"Oh.. Dad asked brother to come too? Then, does brother want to come? I don't care if you want to come with me, but I'm just afraid that the events of last year have happened again" Adara smiled faintly, holding both of her big brother's shoulders.

Adaire pensively heard her sister's words, she looked unhappy and not confident. It was obvious when he lowered his head.

The face of the temphem and the tompel made Adaire oppressed and insulted everyone around her, including the servants in the mansion. However, Adaire did not realize her and considered that she was naturally to get such treatment because she was apparently ugly.

Adaire recalled the incident last year, when she was at her friend's birthday party. When he was present at the party, and he became the center of everyone's attention. Not because everyone was amazed by him, but because they were stunned to not like his presence. Adaire's fat body and tompel face made her a talk in high society, especially the noble lady who likes gossip.

From then on, Adaire didn't want to go to the party anymore. Although many people invited her, because she was the eldest daughter and the rightful heir of her father's fortune, Duke Geraldine. One of the great kstaria in the kingdom of Istvan.

"This time I'll go with you, Adara. Because this is my request" Adaire said, full of doubt and no confidence.

"Well if you want to come with me. But, if anyone bothers you there, don't hesitate to tell me?" Adara smiled and acted as sweetly as possible to her sister.

On the other hand, Anya's servant Adara secretly glanced cynically and disgustedly at Adaire.

"Yes Adara, thank you for always protecting your sister!" Adaire smiled sincerely. All this time he was always protected by Adara, if anyone bullies him and insults him.

"Calm down, there's me next to you!"

Adara hugged Adaire, she smiled her sly smile without her brother's knowledge.

Let's see brother, I'll make you regret coming to the party with me. Inner Adara.

After their conversation, Adaire is helped by her loyal servant Daisy to change clothes. Adaire's body was fat, making it difficult for her to choose the right clothes. Therefore, Adaire always ordered clothes specially sewn by tailors in boutiques. The dress, or whatever she was wearing, always looked ugly in her eyes. Moreover, the tompel on his face was disturbing.

"Miss Adaire, Miss Adara is waiting for you in front of the mansion!" Daisy bowed politely before the lady she served with all her heart.

"Da-daisy, should I go? Do I not just go? What if people were laughing at me exactly like back then?" Adaire wondered, she was not confident.

"Miss, you must go! I'm sure this time the people won't laugh at the lady anymore, because miss is very pretty," Daisy smiled softly and sincerely.

"Beautiful? Daisy don't lie to me, where am I beautiful? Everyone didn't like me, they didn't even want to be friends with me," Adaire's guts shrieked, she was afraid of dealing with the crowd.

Daisy smiled, she tried to encourage her lady with confidence. Don't listen to people's words, because Adaire is beautiful inside out.

"Why is that ugly for so long? I was waiting for him! Does she want to make my beauty fade in the sun?" gerutu Adara was upset waiting for his brother who did not come out of his house.

Just talked about, Adaire's been coming with her waitress Daisy. Adara looked like she wanted to laugh when she saw Adaire wearing a pink dress that did not match her. Not only did Adara want to laugh, but all the guards were there as well.

Daisy is not happy to see her mistress being underestimated, she reprimands all of them who have a bad view of Adaire. "Don't be rude! Miss Adaire is the eldest daughter of this family!" Daisy shouted to the guards standing guard in front of the gate.

"True, he's my brother! You guys should respect him! Hurry up and bow your heads!" Tell Adara to the bodyguards, as if she was defending her sister.

The bodyguards immediately bowed in front of Adara, unlike Adaire who ordered her. Daisy looks unhappy with Adara's attitude as if she is the eldest child of the Geraldine family.

Adara is so kind, she doesn't hate me or disgust me like the others. Adaire was moved to see Adara defending her.

Adara and Adaire go to a charity event attended by a high-class noble lady. Everyone welcomed their presence, all eyes were staring at the beautiful Adara with an enchanted look. Even he was greeted by some handsome men in the city.

While Adaire was silent behind her and no one asked her to speak. Everyone looked at him sharply and analyzed. They were whispering in front of Adaire, leaving the fat girl glued to her place.

Oh my God, this is happening again.

"How could he be so shameless? Did he come to this party to embarrass his sister?" whispered a noble lady unhappy with Adaire's presence.

"If I were him, I'd be hiding in shame! How could she get out of the house with that fat and confident body?" another woman sizzled.

Adaire heard all the sharp words addressed to her. This was what made him not confident to go out of the house.

I shouldn't have come! Adaire walked backwards, she was scared by the gazes people had on her at the party.

Adara pulled her sister's hand, the blonde-haired beauty smiled as if cheering her sister on. "Come brother, brother must fight them! Brother must be confident, I will help brother!"

"But, Adara.me.." Adaire looked confused and frightened. His hands trembled and held Adara's hand.

Good, fear, tremble, you do not deserve to be Duke Geraldine's heir. Adara introduced her sister to everyone.

Adara also defends her older sister, in front of the person who taunts her. Adaire felt overwhelmed by her sister. "Miss Adaire Charise Geraldine, how can you be so confident showing yourself like this in front of a crowd? If I were you, I would have hidden myself in a place where no one could see" said a noble lady with a cynical and sharp look.

"My-me.."

"Rememember me, the late mistress Geraldine was very beautiful. Then why would she have a child like miss?" sindir another noble lady, while opening the fan she was holding.

"Adara and Adaire, have the same meaning that is beautiful. Why don't you have a little bit of beauty? Is it appropriate for an unmarried woman to have a fat body?" said a curly-haired lady sharply to Adaire.

The fat girl's lips froze, the sharpness of the words had left her speechless. The gazes of everyone's eyes were fixed, making himself like a dead man. It felt tight in his chest, he decided to leave from there.

Good Lord! Why is everyone looking at me like that? Wh why?. Adaire held back her cries. He went alone in a quiet place at the charity event.

"Where are my brothers?" ask Adara who just got back from the bathroom.

"Your brother? Just now he ran out of here,"

"Good, I was so disgusted to see his face. My appetite is reduced because of her,"

"Adara, why are you so good about bringing your sister here? If I'm ashamed to bring her here, "asked Annette, a good friend and close friend of Adara's.

"I've reminded him to be home, but he's forced me to take him. Yeah, what can I do? He is my brother. Please be nice to her, yes" Adara smiled slylyly as she drank her champagne slowly.

Feel, didn't I tell you not to come?. Adaire laughed at her sister inwardly.

In front of Adaire, Adara always defends her older sister. But, behind his back Adara always looking for loopholes from word games that he made to make everyone hate Adaire.

Since that incident, Adaire has been a loner and insecure. He did not dare to leave his house.
