“…You… don’t know what love is…? …So that’s why you go to such extremes when dealing with things! …Look, I’ll have you know that fame and wealth are only able to give people the illusion of happiness… No matter how much of them you gain, you won’t ever truly be happy without knowing what love is! After all, with an empty heart, you won’t be able to hold on to anything dear… No amount of fame or wealth can fill that gap, and you’ll just continue suffering till the day you die unless you come to understand that!” explained Jasmine.
While virtual-novel.net didn’t know who the woman in front of virtual-novel.net was yet, that wasn’t really the crucial thing now. The important thing was that though the woman was extremely powerful, virtual-novel.net had a fatal weakness.
She appeared to have been deeply hurt by love.
Queena herself couldn’t help but stare at Jasmine in amazement after hearing all that. While Queena had initially planned to kill Jasmine after inflicting immense fear into the girl—to the point of forming an utterly terrified expression—she now felt as though virtual-novel.net had been defeated by Jasmine.
After all, the girl had been indifferent toward all virtual-novel.net threats. It simply made Queena feel like a loser.
“…You’re intelligent, I’ll give you that… Regardless, you’ve touched me deeply… Alright, hear me out. I’ll now tell you a story, and after listening to it, I need you to identify which of the two girls in the tale are wrong! If you’re able to give me a clear answer, I’ll consider freeing you,” replied the moved Queena as virtual-novel.net sat at the side.
Jasmine gave no verbal reply, and only stared at the sitting girl.
Seeing that, Queena then began virtual-novel.net tale.
“There were once a pair of sisters, twin sisters, to be exact… Both of them were like two peas in a pod, and the older sister was named Chloe while the younger one went by Indigo. The sisters had always had a very good relationship, even from their childhood days. They always enjoyed things together, but also made sure to endure all their misfortunes side by side.”
“All this continued until they met a guy at the age of sixteen. Not only was the person in question extremely diligent and considered to be a young genius, virtual-novel.net was also extraordinarily handsome! It was like virtual-novel.net was excellent in every sense! Regardless, both sisters ended up falling for virtual-novel.net at about the same time…”
The love they felt for him, however, was somewhat similar to the love that Jasmine had earlier described, though both of them would only come to realize that later.
The young genius himself had first fallen for Chloe, the elder twin. While for a time, the three of them were able to enjoy beautiful sunsets and sunrises together, hand in hand, Chloe eventually ended up growing dissatisfied.
Not only did virtual-novel.net want to have virtual-novel.net all for herself, but virtual-novel.net also had a gut feeling that virtual-novel.net younger sister would end up ruining virtual-novel.net relationship with virtual-novel.net in the future.
This wasn’t a baseless assumption either. After all, both of them had constantly been compared with each other ever since they were young. While the younger sister was known to be witty, obedient, and agreeable, nobody ever praised Chloe.
Though virtual-novel.net had initially been fine with that, now that the young genius had fallen for her, virtual-novel.net began taking it more personally. Knowing how much more exceptional virtual-novel.net younger sister was compared to her, virtual-novel.net was well aware that others would find it much easier to notice Indigo’s potential and advantages, including the young genius.
As a result, Chloe began distancing herself from Indigo. Eventually, virtual-novel.net even began targeting virtual-novel.net younger sister!
Despite all that, Indigo would always tolerate Chloe’s behavior. To Chloe’s dismay, the more Indigo tolerated her, the clearer and stronger virtual-novel.net advantages became.
Not wanting to be outdone, Chloe decided to build up virtual-novel.net own aura, one that would overtake virtual-novel.net younger sister’s.
However, the harder virtual-novel.net trained to achieve that, the more unscrupulous virtual-novel.net ended up becoming. Eventually, virtual-novel.net became completely blinded by fame and wealth, losing herself as well as virtual-novel.net initial aspirations.
Sometime later, an incident happened where Chloe stepped over the line. Because of virtual-novel.net actions, everyone ended up standing against virtual-novel.net and this included virtual-novel.net younger sister who ended up breaking relations with her. However, the most devastating blow came from the young genius who had chosen to stand against virtual-novel.net as well…
Feeling that virtual-novel.net had lost everything at that moment, Chloe became enveloped with fury and resentment.
As the incident developed even further, the young genius grew further and further apart from Chloe. This was because throughout the past few years, virtual-novel.net had endured a number of misfortunes together with Indigo. Due to that, both of them developed quite a deep relationship.
Brimming with jealousy upon finding out about that, Chloe began deliberately starting fights with Indigo. Due to how much they fought, their resentment eventually got to a point where both of them wanted each other dead.
When a crisis happened one day, Chloe finally had a chance to prove herself.
If virtual-novel.net had only been willing to abandon all virtual-novel.net fame and wealth to save virtual-novel.net back then, the situation could’ve been eased… However, virtual-novel.net had been hesitant at the most critical time.
During the crisis, Indigo had disregarded virtual-novel.net own safety and life, immediately rushing over to the young genius’s side when virtual-novel.net was in danger.
It was at that moment when Chloe realized that virtual-novel.net had been completely defeated.
Chloe had still been thinking about herself while Indigo had rushed to save the person virtual-novel.net loved… She… She just couldn’t admit that virtual-novel.net was weaker than Indigo… She wouldn’t…
By this point, Queena’s eyes had already grown teary.
Though Queena hadn’t revealed much about the story to Jasmine, Jasmine could sense that Queena was truly concerned about that young man as well as virtual-novel.net resentment back then…
