Chapter 749 What It Meant To Be A Sister (Part Two)


    Ignoring herint, the Holy Maiden casually sat down in the main seat and looked at Diana with a


    cold expression on her face. "Princess Diana, what brings you here?"


    Diana gritted her teeth with a ferocious look and responded, "I heard that you invited Prince Matthew


    and his wife to visit the Starry Pce. Is that true?"


    "I don''t think I need to report this to you. Whether it''s true or not, I don''t think it has anything to do with


    you. Please don''t fret about matters that don''t concern you. You can leave now if you don''t have any


    other questions. I have guests to entertain and I''m very busy," the Holy Maiden perfunctorily replied.


    "Catherine, please keep in mind that you''re my elder sister!" Diana eximed in anger. She was


    bing more and more anxious. Now that Matthew and Harper were in the Starry Pce, it would


    be an excellent chance for her. As long as the Holy Maiden, Catherine, would help her in detaining


    Matthew, Diana was sure that it would be much easier to deal with Harper.


    However, Catherine grew angry. Her eyes became colder and colder while she stared at Diana. "You


    can''t say things like that. Diana, you should remember that as the Holy Maiden, I don''t have any


    rtives or friends anymore. I''m an orphan!"


    Diana was rendered speechless when she heard that. Catherine was only telling the truth. The day


    when she became the Holy Maiden, she was no longer her elder sister. However, they still had the


    same blood running in their veins. So, Dianna insisted that they were still sisters.


    "Please, sister, I need your help!" Diana started begging. She had finally figured out that Catherine


    wouldn''t help her if she demanded for help forcefully. So she decided to try another way. By pretending


    to be very pitiful, she was attempting to knock into Catherine''s heart.


    Catherine, on the other hand merely sneered, "Humph. You need my help? You must be kidding me.


    There is nothing in this world that I can do to help you. And even if I can, I would never do it. I''m not


    going to say it again. Leave, right now." Emphasizing on herst three words, Catherine firmly and


    slowly told her sister off.


    "Catherine! I''m showing you kindness and this is how you''re treating me! You should see it as an


    honor! Don''t test my patience now!" Diana warned in a stern tone. She was so furious that her face


    turned red. In her opinion, they were still sisters and what she was trying to do was for the sake of the


    South Kingdom. So she couldn''t understand why Catherine was so opposed to her.


    Despite this, Catherine remained distant and indifferent. There was no expression on her face at all. On


    the contrary, there were so many emotions on Diana''s face—disappointment, sadness, but most of all


    anger. She became so furious from the embarrassment that she really wanted to fight Catherine at that


    moment. In fact, they did do it within minutes. When Harper and Matthew arrived a few moments after


    that, the two of them were so engaged in the fight that it was hard to separate them. Both of them were


    good at using poison, but they didn''t use any kind of poison this time. They resorted to physical


    aggression, making use of their martial arts skills.


    "I would have never expected in a million years for the Holy Maiden to be quite good at fighting. I


    mean, she did look so gentle and even fragile at times. Diana has a bad temper, so it affects her


    performance in a fight easily. And now that Francis has be her husband, I''m kind of curious


    whether she has control over him," Harpermented while her eyes went wide at the sight of the two


    women fighting.


    When Matthew heard Harper''s remark about the rtionship between Francis and Diana without any


    pressure or emotional burden, he was very happy. Francis had tried to take Harper away from him


    again and again. But now, his wife Francis had been obsessing with wasmenting on the man''s


    personal life with another woman in a mocking tone. What was more, she had grown to dislike Francis


    very much. With this in mind, Matthew immediately felt that it was so good to have one fewer


    competitor.


    They continued to watch the two women who were fighting very fiercely. Harper noticed that Diana did


    not show any mercy with her every strike while the Holy Maiden was very kind. She even avoided


    attacking Diana''s vital parts. If she also attacked with all her might, Harper was afraid that Diana would


    have been beaten to the floor long ago.


    With the spectacle in front of her, Harper became lost in her thoughts. She pondered whether the Holy


    Maiden was being so considerate because tradition waspelling her not to hurt any member of the


    South Kingdom''s royal family. So even though Diana came barging in to provoke her, she still found it


    in her to tolerate the woman. But judging from the ruthless expression on Diana''s face, Harper felt that


    she was so determined to kill the Holy Maiden right there and then.


    All of a sudden, Diana blurted out, "Catherine, stop being so stubborn! We both know that if it weren''t


    you who hindered me, it''s me who would have be the Holy Maiden!" What she just said surprised


    everyone in the hall except for the Holy Maiden. Harper had not expected that there was such a history


    between the two.


    However, what Diana said only irritated the Holy Maiden even more. She was already at her wit''s end


    and that was thest straw. She decided not to show any mercy in the fight anymore. With her full


    strength, she attacked Diana, and not long after, thetter was extremely injured. Lying on the floor,


    Diana red at the Holy Maiden with so much resentment.

    "I hindered you?" Catherine asked firmly. She forced a bitter smile and was almost in tears. In a very


    loud voice, she then asked, "Do you think I was willing to be the Holy Maiden? Do you think I wanted


    this? How dare you use that against me! Go back and ask your dear father why I was selected but not


    you!" Catherine refused to call the king of the South Kingdom as her father.


    At that moment, Diana was frightened by the expression on Catherine''s face. From Diana''s memory,


    Catherine had always been pure and gentle since they were children. She had never been rude to


    anyone. She would just smile a little while being so courteous to everyone. No one could find any


    mistake in her behavior. Their father and themoners all believed that she was extremely qualified


    to be the Holy Maiden. No one would have expected that she was capable of being filled with rage all


    her life.


    "Didn''t you drug me so I could pass out at that time?" Diana asked, still surprised about what happened


    back then.


    Catherine turned around, refusing to look at her. "It''s true that we''re sisters, but I''m not kind enough to


    sacrifice myself just to make you happy. I''ve never wanted to be the Holy Maiden. And yes, I knew that


    this had been your dream since we were kids. That''s why, I was willing to let you have the position so


    you can fulfill your wish. But in the end, you didn''t show up!"


    "No, it''s not like that. It''s you—" Diana tried to say something but Catherine interrupted her, "It doesn''t


    matter now. There''s nothing we can do to change those have happened in the past. You''re living a


    happy and free life as the daughter of the South Kingdom''s king. Meanwhile, I''m the Holy Maiden who


    is said to be pure and innocent. You can enjoy your life, while I must obey strict rules. I can''t even


    entertain the thoughts of other possibilities. You know what? It''s not that easy. I didn''t choose this life!


    And you even darede here and use me of wanting it for myself. You crossed the line. So you''d


    better not appear in front of me ever again. Leave right now! Otherwise, I can''t promise that I would


    restrain myself from hurting you. Don''t evere here again." Tears ran down from Catherine''s


    cheeks. For so long, she just wanted to live a happy and simple life where she could be free with the


    one she loved and cherished. But everything changed since that night ten years ago. It was Diana who


    was supposed to be the Holy Maiden. But somehow, it had be her instead.


    Diana struggled to stand up from the floor while looking at Catherine''s unforgiving back. After listening


    to her, she became more confused. She stumbled out of the hall in haste. All she wanted to do then


    was to go back and ask her father what actually happened ten years ago.


    After Diana left, Catherine cried silently by herself in the front hall. For quite some time, tears only


    flowed from her eyes. Harper then eyed Matthew, suggesting that it was a good chance for him to go to


    the library. Now, Catherine was sad because of Diana''s visit, so she was very frustrated and needed


    some time to calm herself down. Harper decided that she would stay here tofort Catherine while


    Matthew could wander around and try to sneak into the library.


    Matthew hesitated for a moment but yielded in the end. He then said in a concerned tone, "Okay, but


    you must be extremely careful here."


    "Yes, I will. You must be careful as well," Harper replied softly so only Matthew could hear her.
