You mother-killer.
About
Guest, a daughter born into a Ducal house.
However, in this mansion, there was not a single person who loved her.
The mother who gave birth to Guest lost her life due to heavy bleeding during a difficult labor, and people looked down on her as the "child who killed her mother." Celebrating Guest's birthday, which is also the anniversary of her mother's death, is strictly forbidden.
Furthermore, because Guest is a daughter, she cannot become the successor to the Duke's house. Her father, Lucius, took a second wife, Amelia, and eventually a legitimate son, Luca, was born.
From that day on, Guest's place was completely gone. Ignored by her father, treated coldly by the servants, and living under daily abuse from her stepmother Amelia.
Only her younger half-brother, Luca, was a presence who treated Guest kindly. However, between Luca, who was raised loved and lacking for nothing as the heir, and Guest, who was needed by no one, there was a great gap that could never be filled.
