Erotic RPG: I am in the Game world, But My Heroines are Villainesses

Chapter 144 Lirienne

Have you ever thought what is the worst thing an adult or parent could do to a child without it being a crime lawfully?

Of course, just as the questions before, this question also doesn't have a definite answer.

However, there is one answer that is plaguing a lot of youngsters that have suffered.

It was expecting a lot of things from a child and forcing the ideologies that you weren't able to complete on him/her.

Because, as a child, a person would not be able to understand that the things he/she is supposed to do were nothing but a wish of his/her parents, and won't be able to stop this feeling of emptiness that will come after the failure over something she didn't even wish to do….

Just because a parent sees signs of his/her child being good at something doesn't mean the child is good at it. They may have made a mistake, though most parents would never accept it, because of some useless pride…..

And just raising expectations over a child has a severe effect, just as in the story told here….

Once there was a girl.

A girl with a very bright personality.

And she was born into a very good home as well.

That girl was the princess of the kingdom that was ruling over her race.

She had everything a person would want.

A loving family…. Doting father and mother, a strong and beautiful sister…..

A very beautiful appearance that would befit being an elf that was coming from royal blood….

Maids and butlers that doted on her, teachers that liked to teach her, and many others that would love to see her.

And she was smart as well.

At the age of five, she had already figured out how to read and how to write.

With her smiley appearance, she slowly became the center of attention in the palace, coupled with her talent…

Everyone thought of her as a genius, just like her sister….

And at that time, there was one person she always loved and looked up to.

It was her sister.

Although the difference between their ages was not that high, thanks to her being from a different mother, she still thought of her as her big sister and idolized her.

Because her sister was amazing.

She was talented, kind, and beautiful, just as she was befitting the title of being her sister….

However, all of those thoughts crumbled in an instant at some point.

After the day of her awakening.

Because elves would worship the goddess of nature, their awakening process and time were different from others.

Especially for elven royalty, they would awaken at the age of 7, three years earlier than normal.

After she reached the age of seven, her awakening process started and was successfully finished as well.

"Congratulations, princess, for successfully awakening."

After the greetings, it was time for the main course….

At that time, she started learning the specialty of her lineage.

Archery and Magic of Elven Royalty.

Since that was what her family was famous for, she also had an obligation to learn it.

Since her body was developed enough, her mother, who was the ex-knight commander, started teaching her and her sister how to use the bow.

And her sister's mother who was the ex-court magician of her kingdom was the one in charge of her magic training.

And she started with a lot of enthusiasm for archery as well.

I mean, she was the daughter of the ex-knight commander who once ruled the battlefield. If she weren't good at it, then who would be, right? 

That was what she thought since all the adults and children surrounding her were saying the same thing.

However, the reality hit really hard.

Because her first shot was a miss…

And the second one was also….

And the third one too…

This went on like that….

Although she was able to land a hit after a long time, in the end, it was her sister that never missed her shots….

However, she did not give up.

Thinking that it was because she was just a beginner, ignoring what others were saying about her, she always worked hard…

She trained late at night on the training grounds while sacrificing her sleep…..

Because she believed she would be able to do it since she was the daughter of the Bow Goddess, right?

However, that, too, had never given any results.

"Ah… It missed again…."

She couldn't even remember how many times she had said this before….

Although if any normal people had shown the target board filled with arrows, they would get surprising remarks, she didn't deem it enough.

Because everyone always said she was the one that should be good, her standards for her success were very high.

Therefore, feelings of helplessness piled up in her heart.

And on top of this feeling of failure that was filling her heart, she also started not being able to ignore what other people were saying about her.

In the beginning, it was okay; she was able to ignore others because she believed in herself.

However, as time went on, the belief she had over herself started crumbling thanks to the repetitive failures she was getting.

But it was still okay since she had a family that believed in her, right?

No….

"I guess, you are not enough then."

Her father, who was indulging himself with his new concubines had already lost his interest in her….

"I wish Selanne was my daughter, not a failure like you…."

That was what she heard from her mother at that time, which shattered her belief in her family….

Just that one phrase…..

A bunch of words that she heard from her mother made her heart clamp….

In her heart, a feeling bloomed.

A feeling that was different from before….

A feeling that was not befitting a bright smiley young girl like her….

It was the feeling of jealousy….

Jealousy directed to her sister…..

For the first time in her life, she had felt such a black feeling in her heart toward the person she had always idolized….

Because she was good at everything….

Being the daughter of the ex-court magician, she knew her sister would be talented at magic, but she was better at both….

That dark feeling bloomed at that time….

And as time went on, the girl slowly grew up.

In an environment where she was always being compared to her sister….

Where she slowly lost her value….

Where her sister always came before her….

With dark feelings of hatred blooming in her heart….

Just as at this moment….

Because her sister wanted to play a prank on their parents, she and her sister escaped from the palace to sightsee.

Of course, they brought a five-star knight with them.

It was just a quick trip for at most five hours…

Though who would have thought a bunch of bandits would attack them on the road where they were returning, let alone drive them into such a corner….

To force the knight commander to use his last chance to move her sister from the place, to save her….

While abandoning her at the hands of that mean with red eyes…..

However, there was one thing that made her feel an incomparable hatred…

It was the smile on her sister's face before she vanished from the place….

It was the smile of mocking…..

This was the story of a girl named Flora Glyndon who has now abandoned her name…..

Who swore to get her vengeance…..

It was the story of a girl named Lirienne….
