 Chapter 24 - Primula Rosemary Can't Afford to Lose

(I'm sorry, nee-san... It seems I’ve has become a bit mischievous.)

While teaching Rest, Primula Rosemary apologized in her heart to her beloved elder sister.

They had a long history together, and Viola could understand everything about her. Viola appeared composed as she clung to Rest with ease, pressing her chest against him. However, Primula sensed Viola's lack of composure and inner turmoil.

(Nee-san seems serious too... I expected her to wear a nightgown to compete with me, but I didn't think she would go this far.)

Clinging to Rest and nuzzling his cheek, Primula keenly felt her sister's determination.

Both Rosemary sisters were in nightgowns. Although the loungewear they were using wasn't particularly revealing, it was still somewhat resistant attire to wear in front of boys. Surprisingly, it was the introverted Primula, not the lively Viola, who initially decided to wear a nightgown in front of Rest.

(I'm not as beautiful or charming as my sister... That's why I have to do my best to make Rest-sama notice me, even if just a little!)

Lacking confidence, Primula deliberately chose bold clothing. The effect was outstanding. Rest overtly reacted to the sisters' outfits and the chests pressed against him.

(Rest-sama, you're blushing so much, it’s cute...!)

Seeing Rest, who was red up to his neck, Primula's expression became one of admiration, as if she were appreciating a small animal.

Primula had always been uncomfortable around men. As the daughter of a marquis with a delicate and ethereal beauty, she often received attention from men at noble gatherings. However, she had never felt anything other than fear towards them, even when a man like Cedric Ebern sent impolite glances her way.

(But... Why is Rest-sama okay? Why am I not afraid or uncomfortable with him?)

Strangely, there was neither fear nor discomfort towards Rest. Even the chest she used to dislike being looked at by men in the past, she didn't mind if Rest looked at it, and she was even happy that he noticed. Although there was still a sense of shame, the joy and superiority of being liked by a man she admired surpassed the embarrassment.

(I never thought having a slightly bigger chest than big sister would come in handy...)

While the sisters resembled each other in facial features, Primula had a larger chest. Although she felt embarrassed about it, she had never felt happy about it until now.

(But... from now on, this chest might become my weapon. It's probably the only thing that can beat nee-san.)

"Uh...!"

As she clung to Rest's arm, enveloped in a deep cleavage, he shivered and reacted. Indeed, he was cute. Primula deepened her smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Um...!"

Viola, burning with a competitive spirit, also clung to Rest.

(As expected of nee-san... But I can't afford to lose!)

Viola had always insisted on marrying a man stronger than herself. She openly spoke about sacrificing herself for the family's prosperity if it benefited the Rosemary family.

Primula admired her strong-willed sister, but at the same time, she worried about her sister's future while feeling a sense of inferiority.

(I'm happy that nee-san found a man she likes. But I can't let go of Rest-san...!)

Falling in love with the same person as her sister was a cruel twist of fate. If Primula were still her old self, she might have stepped back for the sake of her sister's happiness. However, experiencing true love had changed her perspective.

(Nee-san, like the sun, marrying the man I love. I'll be forever in the shadows as the moon...)

Primula couldn't become mature enough to laugh and celebrate such a situation.

She couldn't hand Rest over. She couldn't yield.

Ten years later, twenty years later, she could only imagine Rest being by her side.

She couldn't marry anyone else. She didn't want to have children with anyone else.

As time passed, these feelings grew stronger, burning passionately in Primula's heart.

(This is the first time... This must be love...)

Outwardly composed but internally flustered, she watched her sister perform a "punishment" on Rest.

Rest was precious to her, and at the same time, so was Viola.

It might have been unfortunate to fall for the same man, but Primula felt proud of it.

(I won't outsmart nee-san. I love Rest-san just like I love my sister.)

She couldn't yield to her sister. She couldn't hurt her sister.

In that case... there was only one choice to make.

(I don't mind being the second wife. Welcoming Rest-sama together wouldn't be a bad idea. Having and raising children with Rest-sama together sounds like fun.)

Thinking about something that could potentially confuse and even make her sister faint if she found out, Primula pressed her ample chest against Rest's arm and let her fingers glide over the beloved man's body.
