Chapter 47 - 45: Our Past...
"Ever since we were born... we were always useless..." Himiko said, her voice trembling with emotion.
"But for us... we were special to each other..." Hinari added softly, her voice barely above a whisper.
"We share the same face... the same feelings... We cry together... we laugh together... We weren't just siblings... We were everything for each other..." Himiko continued, her voice heavy with sadness.
"We know how the other feels... because we're connected—not just by blood, but by our souls, our bodies, and our hearts..." Hinari said, her tone mirroring her sister's.
"Our mom was a maid in the royal palace of the Darkon Kingdom..." Himiko began, her voice shaking. "One day... the prince of that kingdom came to her... drunk... and... he raped her. She got pregnant... and gave birth to us. She loved very much and we loved her too but four years later, the prince found out... and he killed our mom... then threw us out, leaving us to die..."
Hinari picked up the story, her voice equally fragile. "But somehow, we were taken in by an orphanage... where we were treated like slaves. I think it was because we were girls... that's why they treated us differently. They called us scum, useless... garbage... And we couldn't speak back... because we had nowhere else to go."
"There's one funny thing..." Hinari added, a faint smile breaking through her sadness. "My sister loves eggs and fruit... so whenever the orphanage gave us food, I used to give her my share too. That's why her body grew faster than mine..."
"Then, one day, we discovered we had a high talent for magic..." Himiko said, her voice gaining a hint of determination. "That day, we decided we would become stronger... and kill the man who killed our mother."
"But things didn't go as we planned..." Hinari continued. "By the time we joined the royal army of the Darkon Kingdom, he was already the king... We could have killed him, but he had a friend... Geazol. He was terrifyingly strong... We knew we couldn't defeat him. And if we tried to kill the king... Geazol would have killed my sister."
"And I didn't want my sister to die..." Himiko whispered, her voice breaking.
"So, we were forced to stay in the royal army..." Hinari said, her tone resigned.
