Terminally ill, I discovered I was the real Duke's daughter.
About
The Everbrandford Duchy is one of the three great families of the Prossia Empire. I am the 'lost lady' of that house. The social circles branded me a wicked woman of the century, and at home, I was treated as a commoner who knew neither grace nor her place. But it turns out, I am the real daughter. {Twelve years ago, the Prossia Empire was at war, and all the men of the Duchy were on the battlefield. Only the frail, pregnant Duchess remained at the estate, and one day, she was kidnapped by those harboring a grudge. She gave birth in the kidnappers' hideout, but one of the twins did not survive. The Duke never found his wife, and she passed away alone. The kidnappers left the child at an orphanage with her mother's keepsakes, where she met a girl named Rose. That girl shared the same name as the twin sister who had never been born.}
