knight? monsters? I will not allow it

When she saw that I wasn't upset anymore, she smiled happily and hugged me tightly. "What game do you want to play today? Is playing tea party good?" 

A smirking smile sat on my lips. 'I hate this situation.'

"Well, how was your day at school, Arina?" With hearing our mother's voice, we both turned towards her. "Well... I learned how to play the piano. as usual, I got an A+ on my exams. They displayed my painting at the exhibition and blah blah blah..."

'Damn it! Arina is a genius in this life too. It's slowly making me jealous. On the other hand, it makes me proud to have such a sister.' 

"Oh, at the end of school they asked us to write on a paper what we want to become in the future and give it to our teacher." 

"how exciting! And what did you write on your paper?" 

Arina looked shocked and gave a small smile to our mother. "Well, I've been thinking about it for a long time..." 

She cleared her throat. "Our family has always been a generation of knights. Being a knight is a sign of honor and prestige for us. Even my father was killed by monsters in this path..." I looked at her confused. 'what Bullshit is she talking about?' 

She continued excitedly. "Well, I decided to continue my father's path..." 

'Huh?'

"To bring back the honor and prestige of our family..."

'Huhh?' 

"And become a knight."

 'Huhhhh?' 

Wait a second, what's going on here? It's true that I don't undresrand the fundamentals of magic and all that stuff but everyone knows about knights. A knight is a warrior recognized by king and queen and one of the important figures in Europe. After Yakuza i wanted to be a knight but it I thought it was too unrealistic so i dropped it.

 While my mouth was still open in astonishment, I looked at Arina. 

'Are you serious right now? I wanted to live this life peacefully and then you want to jump into the danger?' 

My mother's serious tone broke the silence. "Arina..."

I looked at her with a smile and a lump in my throat. 'Yeah, you lost your husband in this path and you love your daughter so it's natural for you to disagree.'

But seeing the tears of joy in her eyes made me surprised again. She came and hugged Arina tightly. "I'm very proud of you."

While I was squeezed between them, I looked at them with wonder. Finally after a while, my mother stepped back from Arina 

and looked at her with teary eyes. "After your father's death, I always feared that no one from the family would continue his path and the family would be forgotten forever. But thanks to you, we are destined to shine again among noble families."

 'What is she saying? Do you want to sacrifice your daughter's life for something like the Kingdom? Why is everyone in this family lacking common sense?' 

The nanny came next to us and gave her a warm smile. "I knew Lady Arina inherited her father's intelligence."

'Where is the intelligence in this, old doggy? The only thing Erina inherited from her father is his stupidity.' 

As I was squeezed between Mother and Arina, my gaze fell on Aldous who was looking at them in surprise. 

"Who is the knight?" 

My mother answered him with a smile, 

"The knight is a brave and strong person who protects us and our land from monsters." 

Wait a minute! Arina also mentioned this, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Monsters? What kind of nonsense is this? What kind of stupid world was I born into? 

Aldous exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! How exciting! I also want to become a knight just like..."

I couldn't hear their conversation anymore; it had become muffled for me. I was completely lost in my thoughts. 

'I wanted to stay away from any danger in this life because of you. I want to live more cautiously this time. And now you want to take away this peace from me?' 

Arina said with a smile, "my teacher told me that I have great potential for this job. Maybe I can..." 

"No!" Everyone looked at me surprised.

i mumbled, "I won't allow it..."

 Arina looked at me questioningly, "Angela, Did something happen?"

I screamed with all my might,

 "I WON'T LET YOU BECOME A KNIGHT. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES."

Everyone first looked at me with wide eyes. Then they started laughing. My mother said, 

"Oh, it's true, I forgot Angela is very dependent on you. She probably thinks you should join the army right now and leave her alone." "Don't worry, Angela. I'm not going anywhere ,Not any time soon."

I looked around the room with a frustrated look.

"I did not enwy hel." 

That wasn't the issue. It was putting Arina in danger. And I don't want to see her die again. My mom pulled my cheek with a laugh, "Okay, whatever you say." Hearing the knock on the door, my mother separated from Arina, "Well... it seems like the janitor has brought the food. Let me go get it and come back." 

And then she left the room with long strides. Arina put me on the ground and turned towards Aldous, "Wasn't she supposed to cook today?" 

"She did but I think she burned it as usual..." 

I looked away from them and held my head in my hands.

'This is bad...' Because of my age, no one takes me seriously and everyone thinks I oppose out of jealousy and dependence. 

'What should I do now?' My eyes caught sight of the baby walker which was still lying on the ground. I calmly took my head out of my hands and stared at it. 

'I have to learn how to walk.' 

Now that no one takes me seriously, I have to take matters into my own hands and do something that will make everyone pay attention to me. I just have to train this weak body of mine and gain strength. I clenched my fists and stared into the horizon with determination.

 'I will stop Arina from becoming a knight.'
