Transmigrated as a Wrong Character in a Sorcerer World

Her response left Klein dumbfounded.

He didn't even know how to react in the short term; his mind was slightly lost in her words.

Suddenly, a myriad of questions and scoldings came to his head, but he knew how to restrain himself and approached her quickly.

"Sister, are you crazy?" he asked in shock.

She stared at him, wanting to show him that her stance was firm. Despite that, her face was slightly flushed at what she had said.

Only she knew if her words were true or if it was just to convince her brother.

But her brother had an opinion on the matter.

Her sister was crazy.

"You know the family curse perfectly well, don't you? You do, don't you?"

She nodded.

"Any clan woman who courts the man she likes has a high probability of activating the curse and bringing misfortune to that person." She replied.

Then his brother nodded quickly. "If you know, what the hell do you think you're doing? Why are you trying to protect him? What if you activate the curse? No one is saved from that curse!"

"Protection is not courtship. I just want to protect him so he can grow up. Besides, there's something different this time."

"What's different?"

"He's not indifferent to my beauty."

"He is..." Klein frowned. "Isn't he?" he asked quizzically, and Jasmine shook her head.

"That doesn't make any sense."

"I know."

"No, you don't. There's no way for you to know. If you knew, you wouldn't be thinking about protecting him. If you really like him, then he must feel a strong indifference to your beauty. That's why you must court him, isn't it? It's our curse, little sister. It's those bastards' way of making us lose."

"That's why I told you he's different."

Klein shook his head repeatedly. "Or he just wants to use you."

"He doesn't know my last name. It's unlikely to be that. Besides, you must know something else." She spoke.

"What is it?"

"My eyes don't work on him."

"What?" Klein's eyes widened after hearing her. "How is it possible that they don't work?"

"They don't work." She replied firmly.

That made Klein look very thoughtful for several minutes at a time.

Jasmine had revealed too much strange information to him all at once. Not only did she tell him that she had fallen in love, but also that she had plans to protect the person she fell in love with.

Subsequently, she revealed another issue of crucial importance: the curse had not been activated.

Jasmine and Klein's family is known for many things, not only for their power, but they tend to be known for the beauty of their members, as each one stands out greatly from the rest. This is why many outsiders try to court the women of the clan.

But they are also known for being incredibly indifferent towards such things, and that is for a reason.

A curse.

The curse says that any clan woman who is in love will make the man she likes indifferent towards her beauty or attributes. Even if she was beautiful to him before, if the man finally manages to make that woman fall in love, he will start to see her with a beauty far inferior to what she really has.

Well, he doesn't even need her to 'fall in love'; it's enough for that woman to feel a little interest in him for that annoying curse to be activated.

Nobody knows how that works, but the whole clan has witnessed it.

Although they have found ways to prevent it from activating on some occasions, it does not always work.

That is why this family is not very numerous. Normally, the relationships of the clan's women do not happen; they remain in courtship and indifference. When it comes to extremes, they have been sold to other clans and end up suffering for many days until they are rescued.

But in case the relationship can happen, the curse has a second phase. If a woman of the clan courts, even minimally, the man or actively seeks to make him fall in love, the second phase could be activated, creating a greater curse. It would trigger a disaster that would be difficult to overcome.

That is why the family is always surrounded by an aura of mystery and indifference toward these things. Even more so are the women who belong to the direct line of the clan because in them, the curse works with great power. In the close family line of Klein and Jasmine, they have the older sister of their father as an example.

Therefore, at some point, the idea of finding a blind partner for Jasmine was considered. A partner who only looks out for interests and does not care about anything else. The problem is that foreign men also tend to suffer since everyone can see his wife's beauty except him.

But all at once, Jasmine told him that Klaus didn't seem to be affected by that. He recognized Jasmine's beauty despite the fact that she claimed to be interested in him, going so far as to claim to be 'in love' and using that as a bargaining chip.

Klein frowned.

'There are two possibilities. Either she's cheating on me, or that guy really is worthy of being with her.' He thought.

'But, if she says her eyes don't work on him, she knows I cannot prove it, but she's never lied to us about her eyes. Her eyes are her most important feature, after all.'

He looked up to see Jasmine, subsequently averted his eyes, and started walking without saying a word.

Jasmine followed him closely until, about 10 minutes later, she spoke.

"Big brother. I would never betray the Clan, and you know it. I owe all my power to the clan; they are my family, the only ones who have supported me for so long. It's just... He's not worthy to face father. If I reveal his existence, he will die or become a slave. But, if I make him a man worthy to be with me, my father will use that condition when we report him, so..."

Suddenly, she was interrupted. "Lady of Feeling." Klein said, taking Jasmine by surprise.

"You are a woman capable of controlling all Feelings, and your eyes are proof of that. But now it seems that what I told you a while ago, you couldn't deliver. You couldn't control your feelings, and now you've made a big mistake, do you understand?"

Jasmine sighed. "Don't get confused, Klein." She spoke.

"What do you mean?" he asked as he looked at her.

"It's not that I can't control them. It's that I don't want to." She replied firmly.

"Oh? You don't want to?" He felt puzzled.

"I can control all the feelings that come into me, and even though these are harder to control, I can control them. But I don't want to."

"Why?"

"Because I like to feel them."

"You like... That's selfishness!"

"Can't I be selfish at least once? I don't want to stop feeling them; that's why I told Klaus I'll see him every day starting today. I want to keep feeling them."

"You..."

Jasmine stared at him. "This talk went on much longer than it should have. I just want you to delay their report for a bit. Just buy me a few months, and I'll pay you back eventually."
