Lady Rose Wants to be a Commoner Chapter 17.6

A Tale of Dreams and Reality

I had an older brother .

My older brother was very good looking, quite skilled, and loved by everyone .
He was the center of my world .

I XX that brother of mine .
(TL: This is not a typo~)

When people looked at my older brother, they would always tell me that they were jealous . I shyly agreed with them .

That’s why I XX him .

Since my older brother was amazing and he was the center of my world, I always stood in my brother’s shadow . I always thought that I mustn’t be a hindrance to my older brother, that I mustn’t cause him any displeasure, and that I mustn’t anger him . I lived only for him .

As my brother’s XX .

In high school, I began to live alone .

When I told my parents that I would only bring trouble to my brother if I were to stay with him, they immediately gave me permission .

Despite that, my brother often visited my school . He also visited me frequently . There, no one could see us . I came to XX my brother even more .

When I was in college, I could XX from my brother .

After repeatedly making preparations, piling up camouflage, and using what I could, I was happy for a bit . For the first time in a while, I was myself .

One day . A certain day . That fated day .

By chance, I was reunited with my brother . I thought that I had changed . I thought that if I XX from my brother, I could XX my brother, and this wouldn’t become a habit .

I was convinced .

After seeing my older brother, I once again went back home .

I was run over by a car .

It was because I was in a hurry and XX like an idiot .

It was because I was like a doll, and XX to my brother’s XX like always .

It was because I… I…

I hated my past self .

I hated how I died, regretting how I was unable to get my revenge against him . I hated the “me” who was dangled around and played with by fate .

I won’t be a doll again .

I was good at creating a façade, since I had always been using one in front of my brother, my family, my friends, and everyone else every time my brother was brought up . That façade was a part of my everyday life .

Let’s do better . This time, I’ll win against fate .

This was a different world, so I would never be able to win against my brother .
It wasn’t possible for me to fight him, but it was fine like this .

Still, I’ll become someone who can fight against fate .
