“Corey, I never knew you were so powerful and skilled with swords. Father was right, the Bright family is not to be underestimated” Surprisingly Eliza complimented Corey, it seems the change in Corey has gathered a lot of attention on her and the Bright family. If I did not know why Corey changed so much so soon I guess I would also be impressed. She is just a cheater like me. ‘An origin card that allows one to remember past life memories.’ This card world never ceases to surprise me.

“Corey you liar, you told me that some with our status do not need to work hard but enjoy. But you were secretly working on your skills and card creation.” Beth yelled at Corey, hearing Beth’s statement Amy and Eliza glared at Corey.

“Did I. Sorry, I do not remember saying that.” Feeling the glares of Eliza and Amy, Corey feigned ignorance, unable to meet the Whiteburn sisters’ eyes. As she clearly remembers years ago visiting Whiteburn manor to play with Beth and saying the same words and quite a few other words to young naive and innocent Beth who was genuinely practising Whiteburn family martial arts. Come to think of it, old Corey influenced naive and ignorant Beth a lot into the current Beth.

“Tsk, No wonder Beth would rebel every time after you visited her. I would train… guide her to the correct path but soon she would derail, I had my doubts but Corey you bitch it was you all along, Give me back my toy… twin sister.” Amy went berserk and yelled at Corey.

“If not for me intervening and helping Beth you would have turned her into your pet or worse a toy. Now at least she has her own free will and does not fear you.” If Corey was guilty of influencing Beth badly then Amy was guilty of trying to micro-manage and control every little detail of Beth’s life.

“Come to think of it, Corey is right. Amy, you always lied to me to get me to do things your way. You said that if I did not practice hard, our father would stop talking to me and… and if I do not eat vegetables the monsters under my bed and inside the closet will eat me. Even the part about making Wyatt my husband candidate, it was you. Your intention said that if someone like Wyatt was my husband, our father would be happy and the family elders would be off my back.” Beth angrily yelled at her twin remembering all the things she did to her.

“You were the one who told her about the Bed and closet monsters, she slept in my room for three years. Wait, wasn’t that around the time you fought with our father demanding a separate room. It was suspicious that you suddenly stopped demanding a separate room, no wonder. How could you do that to your twin?” Eliza was finally enlightened, she thought her little sister Beth was a troubled child but it turns out she was the victim of Amy and Corey’s shenanigans. Jack wanted his twin daughter to deepen their bond so he had them sleep in the same room until they were 13 years old.

“Come on, you liked it. You were the one who always complained that Beth does not talk with you so I sent her to you.” Being caught Amy did not feel guilt or deny her crimes. She doesn’t mind sharing a room with her twin but Beth talks a lot and a lot of it is just nonsense or repetitive content.

“Hump, I was going to wish for you to get into the top10 ranks in the tournament but now I will not.” Beth snorted at her twin and then turned to me, with a charming smile said “Wyatt, I know you will win the tournament. With your stone elemental army, you can easily defeat Corey and what’s her name. But I will still wish for you to win the tournament. ”

“Aa… Thank you, Beth.” I felt awkward seeing a 17-year-old trying to court me. The young me would fall for a real-life beautiful Princess like Beth but… what the heck am I thinking.

…

Hearing the conversation between me and Beth, Amy sneered as her plan worked flawlessly. Amy knew that Beth was dumb and things were left as they are now soon the elders of the family would once again start forcing their father into selling Beth in an arranged marriage for family relations. Their father was a good Patriarch first and a good father next. So the chances are that under the pressure of elders one day their father might sacrifice their sister Beth in an arranged marriage for the prosperity of the family and its members. Big families like Wihiteburn and Bright’s viewed their offerings as a commodity to invest in now and reap from later. Someone like Beth with zero achievements and contribution towards family was bound to be used as goods for the family benefit.

Therefore, Amy came up with a plan that is to marry her sister off with some she deemed worthy and trust her sister with and Wyatt fit the bill. He was talented and a genius among geniuses, and far more mature and intelligent than their peers. Most important of all, his character was trustworthy, he was not like other males who act gentlemanly and turn into dogs in front of beautiful women. Not to mention after the news that they received about Wyatt today morning, the family elders readily agreed to her idea of marrying Beth to Wyatt. This is the reason why the Whiteburn family did not participate in killing Wyatt to gain the southern emperor’s favour like the rest of the families, bureaucrats of the sky blossom city.

Being tasked by the family elders to act as the matchmaker between Beth and Wyatt, Amy had prepared a stepwise plan.

Step 1: To seed Beth with the idea that Wyatt is the Ideal man for her. Being Beth’s twin this step was the easiest one for Amy to achieve.

Step 2: To make ‘dense’ Wyatt see Beth as a woman, beautiful, charming and hormone stirring woman. If it was any other man Amy would have skipped this step as she knew no ‘real’ man would resist her twin’s charm and the wealthy, powerful family behind her.

This part was tricky as someone as dense as Wyatt would not even realise that Beth is trying to court him. Therefore she intentionally exposed Beth’s thoughts to Wyatt so that he realises what Beth wants from him and start seeing Beth as a woman rather than a friend.

Step 3: let nature take its course, knowing Beth once she likes something she will not stop until she gets it.

Seeing all her steps fall in place and work effectively Amy sneered thinking she won’t have to use the other steps she prepared.
