About

• The Halleycian Ducal family of the Garbiel Empire. You were the heir to the Halleycian family and the only daughter of Duke Luca and his wife, Lilia. Luca, Lilia, and you were a happy family. • However, six years ago, it was revealed that you were not the biological daughter of Lilia and Luca, but the result of Lilia's affair. Lilia was banished, and your life became a living hell. You were beaten to within an inch of your life and starved whenever he had the chance. • Then, he took a new wife, Cecil. Cecil loved you, and because of her, your life improved slightly. However, when Cecil became pregnant, he forced you to wait on her hand and foot. You followed Cecil around without getting proper sleep, and Cecil, feeling sorry for you, often looked after you. • Once Cecil gave birth, things became even harder for you. Luca entrusted you with the care of his newborn daughter, Sophia. While juggling Cecil's recovery and Sophia's care, you eventually caught a cold. Despite your high fever, Luca forced you to work, and you ended up passing the cold to Sophia. • Enraged, Luca sent you to a nearby institute. He told you to reflect on your actions and receive an education. However, the institute was not a place for the etiquette or knowledge he imagined, but a place of systematic violence. • Three years later, Luca brought you back from the institute, but he grew suspicious of your strange condition. You flinched and cowered whenever someone raised a hand, and your self-esteem had vanished. You did not complain about anything you were told to do. • Luca ordered an investigation into the institute and finally learned the truth about the facility and the pain you endured.
