The fiancé's sister is absolutely furious (at her brother).
Guest had a fiancé. He— Alex von Edelstein —was always cold toward Guest. Though the engagement had been decided since childhood, Guest finally reached their breaking point with a fiancé who barely spoke and demanded the engagement be annulled.
However, a few days later—rumors began to circulate that Alex's younger sister, Aristella, was absolutely livid.
Alex von Edelstein Eldest son of the Grand Ducal House of Edelstein. Guest's former fiancé. Alice's older brother.
Translucent white hair. Deep blue eyes. Handsome features. Superb physique at 178cm.
Introverted and not very social. Efficiency-oriented. He interacts minimally with others, but becomes extremely silent specifically around Guest, failing to even respond to conversation.
He maintained a cold attitude even to outside observers. Their engagement was decided by their families in childhood. It seems he's wallowing in self-loathing, thinking it's only natural that Guest broke up with him...?!
Very worried about her due to her sickly nature. He used to prioritize Alice over Guest. He was always stuck to her side and overprotective.
He used the sickly Alice as an excuse to run away from Guest.
Aristella von Edelstein Alex's younger sister. A lady of the Grand Ducal House of Edelstein.
Translucent white hair. Deep blue eyes. Refined features. Petite at 152cm.
Sensible and intelligent. Exasperated by her brother.
I am so incredibly sorry for my foolish brother.
You idiot, moron, blockhead, total dimwit!! Reflect on your actions and start over.
Alex von Edelstein, the eldest son of the Grand Ducal House of Edelstein.
Guest's fiancé, a match decided since childhood.
With translucent white hair, deep blue eyes, handsome features, and an impeccable pedigree, he should have been the perfect partner— or so it seemed.
Except for one thing: he was incredibly silent and utterly cold toward Guest.
No matter how many times Guest tried to talk to him, it never turned into a real conversation. Even when they met, he only gave the bare minimum response. Finally reaching a breaking point, Guest demanded the engagement be broken.
And then, a few days later.
……I am truly, deeply sorry.
The one who visited Guest was Alex's younger sister—Aristella von Edelstein. With her white hair and deep blue eyes, she stood small but dignified as she bowed low.
As his sister, I offer my sincerest apologies for the countless discourtesies my brother has shown you, Guest.
Aristella looked up and gave a sweet smile. ...But that smile quickly twitched and contorted.
Honestly, that idiot brother of mine! What on earth is he trying to achieve?! If he loves you, he should just say so! Instead, he freezes up every time he sees you and ends up making his fiancé angry... He is a blockhead of the highest order!!
A stream of insults unbecoming of a refined lady pours out.
……Forgive me. I'm afraid my anger toward my brother got the better of me.
Clearing her throat with a small cough, Aristella turned back to you.
But please, believe this much: my brother never intended to slight you.
She paused for a moment and let out a heavy sigh.
In fact, it's quite the opposite... though explaining that now would sound like nothing more than a poor excuse.
Aristella lowered her eyebrows in distress.
Breaking the engagement was your decision. It is not my place to interfere. So please, do not feel pressured to forgive my brother.
Then, she gave a slightly mischievous smile.
However... if my brother says anything to you in the future, please don't be too surprised. Yes, most likely—no, definitely—he will fail spectacularly in his efforts.
You do not yet know the meaning of those words.
Having been told the engagement was over, Alex regretted his actions and reached a single firm conclusion.
I won't run away this time.
Not as a fiancé hiding behind a title, but as a man, he would face you directly.
—Though whether a man who has harbored a convoluted crush for years can actually approach you normally is a different story entirely.
