“Hilise, please.”8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMKnCOJ6kw 維尼
My beloved older brother, Ricardo, whom everyone calls 'The Prince of Roses' , spoke to me, who is locked behind the bars.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxKg9VUmgB 維尼
"Die in place of Gabriel."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3vnIv3Cqy 維尼
My heart, which had already been stabbed countless times throughout my life, was completely broken at that moment.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWyCGy9Iwk 維尼
I did not know what to say. I could only hold my breath and stare at the man in front of me.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAf5PCr2I4 維尼
It was on Gabriel's behalf that I was jailed in the first place.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjjIicueXm 維尼
I don't expect my brother Ricardo to patch things up and get me out of here. But I expected him to say that he was worried about me.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJBFQogGu8 維尼
Even if it would've been an obvious lie, I didn't care.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YcnxtMnhZ 維尼
My brother's face, which had always been cold whenever he saw me, was dark.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcIz8wcR8Z 維尼
A faint sense of guilt was visible in his eyes as he avoided my gaze, unable to look at me any longer.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0c3yM49E6 維尼
"You did it before. You've already repeated seven lives."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMZqq86ud6 維尼
The moment brother Ricardo said it with a heavy voice, I shuddered as if I was being stitched with a harpoon.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0aMmIA1rG 維尼
"Die—Die......then go back to the past."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7a5aAxLlZ 維尼
"Don't say it."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡStxl03eh1C 維尼
"So Hilise,"8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QA3U63x9i 維尼
"Don't."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zLIrOj3Iv 維尼
"Please die in Gabriel's stead."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwU2CJ3mn6 維尼
I didn't know that such cruel words could pass through those beautiful lips. However, it wasn't anything new. He had always been so cruel to me.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQgFtOBKSc 維尼
But still...How could he?8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyDDFPjAIb 維尼
"It's just for a moment anyway. After that, you will still go back."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JUxgfHhyn 維尼
Ricardo spoke again with a desperate voice as if he was trying to persuade me.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHrs8or1Ve 維尼
"That's why..."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡit0eRqArXi 維尼
"You didn't believe me."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡVji0UvZuRN 維尼
Ricardo fell silent when he heard what I said.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS8SKo3648 維尼
"You despise me for talking nonsense to get other people's attention."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGghLc3fyL 維尼
He never talked about it.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNzj3CAgew 維尼
"But now you're bringing it up because you don't need me anymore?"8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmI7zbeL1H 維尼
Knowing his personality, if we are in a different situation right now, he wouldn't believe a word that I say. Ricardo's face looked troubled.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Zpi9AwlB 維尼
"I'm sorry."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡohJn5ZnPoS 維尼
His actions made me feel as if the warmth of my body was being drained out of my fingertips.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TYlm3spfO 維尼
"But please, Hilise. For the first and the last time, I’m asking you this."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbnbRBr8ni 維尼
For the first time, a nobleman knelt before me and begged with his head down. For Gabriel, whose blood he doesn't share but is clearly the only sister he considers as his.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFigXVmKKc 維尼
(He wants me to die for her.)8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhePyuHINE 維尼
"Haha..."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCXMR0zPBh 維尼
I couldn't stand it and burst out laughing. How can I not laugh at this funny sight?8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡaopesVg2Fd 維尼
"This is hilarious."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMKcSLjXW2 維尼
Ricardo's shoulders stiffened a little as if he thought I was mocking him for being on his knees.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnBv3ibLOe 維尼
Still, he made a silent appeal to me. That's right, that's how much he cares for Gabriel. To the extent that I'm nothing to him.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMXBd8gcAF 維尼
I've always been miserable in all of my seven lives, and there was no exception this time.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkUQzj5FhC 維尼
Nevertheless, the fleeting expectation, which had remained as thick as a handful of dust, finally turned into ashes and scattered in the air.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEGIb8AerF 維尼
"Ricardo."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiRVErFSsU 維尼
I didn't shed any tears. I just felt empty.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIdzZfDQoc 維尼
Yes. Finally, after seven failures.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡE966VnE84N 維尼
"I won't call you brother anymore... Actually, you've never been my brother since the day I was born."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX9NMO0js2 維尼
Ricardo's hand flinched at my words. He raised his head and looked up at me.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2PpFZkZGb 維尼
"Thank you, Ricardo."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmsQEEMTLz 維尼
Perhaps my face is as dry as my voice right now.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHspPbtRGV 維尼
As soon as his eyes met mine, his expression cracked.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM8vEitN32 維尼
"I'm glad you're a scumbag until the end."8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJQuvPesBw 維尼
Looking at his quivering eyes, I felt my lingering vain feelings, which were slowly disappearing like grains of sand, vanish entirely.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBJnfRDunV 維尼
I don't feel bad looking at him anymore, it's not even heartbreaking. Have I ever felt this positive in all of my lives before?8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX18IATsvc 維尼
Well, I'm finally free now.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlNFOH6ch0 維尼
So, it's my turn to abandon them first.8964 copyright protection1580ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf3Hv1FYkb 維尼
