while the sister seems the most likely one here, i wonder how she arrived at some random soldiers that quickly and how she even sneaked out to attempt to safe her in such an indirect approach. i'm also not sure if this will speed up the process of her being adopted, but we'll see. at least she got a dependable Big Brother already.
The father seems to be under the impression that people are like dating sim characters. It doesn't matter if they hate your guts just give them 400 ribbons and suddenly they love and respect you.
@botodopo even it is for her selfishness, at least she did it and it save Leslie. If Leslie used her powers, her father wont let her get adopted by Monster Duchess so it is all going to Leslie's favor.
Double update best update <3 <3 :3 With this incident she'll be able to be with her new family faster :3 ;3 :3
@larcek
They were probably going to do the incident on their own land IE didn't travel all that far yet (while she lowered her guard not thinking anything like this could happen) (again...)
EDIT: She probably also just said that she's going to her room and snuck out... even if a servant had seen her it's not like their first thought would be of her trying to save her younger sister that she hates...
@HOOfan_1 Yeah, the sister thinks her younger sister thinks liker her and would rather survive and make at least 1 suffer rather than die and be under the marquis control
