I Am the Older Sister

Becky entered the living room and immediately sensed that something felt off. Hesitantly, she asked what was going on.

Emma turned to Becky with a smile. "Little Becky, come here. Have you read the books I sent you today?"

Since she was visiting Becky, Emma had brought along a pile of books Becky had never read before. Her goal was to get Becky to memorize parts of them so she could advance as an apprentice.

Becky had initially planned to go over to Emma, but upon hearing the second half of her sentence, she stopped in her tracks.

While she did want to become an apprentice, being forced to memorize books all day made her resentful. She looked at her older sister, who had brought her the books, as if she were some sort of villain.

"Becky, I came to see you," Irina greeted warmly.

"Irina!" Becky called out happily and ran over to her.

Emma was stunned. She was Becky's older sister, so why was Becky acting closer to an outsider than to her?

"Becky, let's go play," Irina suggested. She had come today intending to gain some more experience points through Becky.

Becky was about to nod when Emma interrupted. "Becky, this is the perfect time for you to study. You shouldn't spend all your time playing. Let me help you with your lessons."

Emma looked at Becky expectantly.

Becky didn't even need to think. She answered immediately, "No, I want to play with Irina."

Emma froze as if she had been struck by lightning. Her own younger sister didn't want to spend time with her but preferred playing with an outsider? How could this be happening?

"Princess Emma, I'll be taking Becky to play now," Irina said with amusement, then took Becky's hand and led her upstairs.

Emma clenched her fists. "Irina! That damn girl—she stole my good reputation, and now she's trying to steal my sister too? Becky is mine! She belongs to me, Emma Ferrent!"

Irina, unaware that Emma was actually obsessed with her younger sister, happily brought Becky to her room.

Just holding Becky's hand for a minute as they walked had already earned her 10 experience points.

Now, it was time to grind more experience.

The day passed quickly, and before long, night had fallen.

Irina had spent the entire day accumulating experience points through Becky. Meanwhile, Emma had repeatedly popped in, trying to convince Becky to leave Irina and spend time with her instead. However, completely clueless about how young girls think, Emma failed every time.

As a result, she blamed everything on Irina, believing that she was stealing Becky away from her.

Later that evening, when Becky went to take a bath, Emma turned to Irina with annoyance. "It's already dark. Why are you still here? Shouldn't you be heading back to your own place?"

Irina sat on Becky's bed, casually picking up one of Becky's stuffed dolls and rubbing its head. "Princess Emma, haven't you figured it out? I'm staying here tonight. I'll be sleeping with Becky."

"What did you say?!" Emma's voice rose sharply in protest. "No way! Go home!"

"I already promised Becky that we'd sleep together."

"I don't approve."

"That's Becky's decision. Even as her sister, you can't make choices for her."

"Who says I can't? Of course, I can decide for her! I said no!"

"Really? Then why don't you go ask Becky?"

"Hmph, Becky will definitely listen to me."

Emma confidently marched to the bathroom door. A few minutes later, she returned, looking completely defeated. There was no doubt—Becky had rejected her.

Seeing Emma glaring at her with frustration, Irina spread her hands. "Well, it seems like you'll have to go back to the palace tonight."

Irina was feeling quite pleased. She had slowly accumulated 140 experience points from Becky today. Adding that to her previous 80 points, she now had 220 points saved up. And if she successfully shared a bed tonight, her total would reach 320.

"Go back to the palace? No way," Emma scoffed, fixing her gaze on Irina. "I'm staying here tonight too. Don't even think about doing anything weird to Becky."

"You're staying too?" Irina raised an eyebrow.

"That's right. I'll be sleeping with Becky. If you insist on staying, you can sleep on the floor," Emma declared without hesitation.

Irina didn't take Emma's words seriously. She knew Becky wouldn't let her sleep on the floor. If Emma was determined to stay, then most likely, the three of them would be sleeping together.

Since her experience system only allowed her to gain one set of points per night, regardless of the number of people she slept with, she wasn't particularly excited about Emma staying.

"Big sister, I heard you," Becky suddenly said as she walked back into the room. She looked displeased. "You can stay, but why are you making Irina sleep on the floor? That's so rude."

"Becky, you're done with your bath? Don't be mad, okay? I'll listen to you—whatever you say goes," Emma immediately softened, spoiling her little sister.

Irina sighed. As expected, Becky sided with her.

Once they all got into bed, Emma immediately hugged Becky and positioned herself in the middle, trying to separate Becky from Irina.

"Big sister, I want to sleep in the middle," Becky said.

"Um… how about just for tonight, I sleep in the middle?" Emma suggested, giving Becky a hopeful look.

"You want to sleep in the middle? Well… okay then." Becky didn't really care about it too much, so she agreed.

After tucking Becky in, Emma turned to glare at Irina, as if warning her to stay away.

Irina could only sigh helplessly. With Emma acting like this, it was impossible for her to get along with her properly. She simply turned over, facing away from Emma, and ignored her.

Click.

The lights went out, and the room was swallowed by darkness.

September 23rd.

"You have shared a bed with a female. Experience gained: 100 points."

Accompanied by the mechanical system notification, Irina groggily opened her eyes. Through the partially drawn curtains, she could see the first hints of morning light outside. It was still early—Emma and Becky were still asleep.

Propping herself up, she opened her supernatural status panel to check her remaining experience. Initially, she just wanted to confirm the total.

But as her gaze fell on the interface, her eyes suddenly widened in shock.

What just happened?

How could something so unexpected occur?

She could hardly believe it.
