I was the real Lady of the Ducal family, but the villainess, whom I thought was my friend, secretly stole my memories and evidence, taking my place. When I was no longer useful, I still couldn’t forget the triumphant smile on her face when she kicked me out.... more>>

“... It’s for your own good. Since people in the Ducal Household knew your face, it would be troublesome when unnecessary rumors were to arise, right? As the Duke’s daughter, I won’t forget you and prepare something good for you.”

It was foolish of me to believe that my friend was truly doing it for me, but it turned out to be the day of my death. After learning the truth and returning to the past, I realized that my friend also retained memories of the past.

If that’s the case, the same thing would happen again. That cunning woman will once again capture my biological parents’ heart and take my place as the Duke’s daughter again. I hated them so much for keeping me close while remaining blind to the truth, never once giving me a piece of their hearts.

“I’m sick of it all.”

In this life, I’ll choose a different path and become a mage.

But why is it that… only after I’ve given up on everything, do my family keep trying to stay by my side? <<less

He stood by his almost dead lover and longed for her like a broken man. ... more>>

She was someone under the pretext of being his ‘friend’.

The moment Elsia thought she had finally opened up Ian’s heart…….

‘She’ came back.

It was painful to see the back of a man who was willing to let go of a friend’s hand just to run toward his old lover.

“Ian, I have loved you for a long time. I’ve never thought of you as a friend, ever since the beginning. It’s been like that all year round.”

Since they will never see each other again, Elsia was able to run away after throwing her painful confession for the first and last time.

By the way….

He said that he had struggled to find Elsia, who had given up on her long unrequited love and ran away from him.

“Elsie…….”

“Stop! Don’t call my name!”

She screamed out loud enough to surprise even herself and immediately felt that distant feeling of emptiness.

The moment she heard Ian’s voice, which she had been desperately trying to forget, she realized that she had not yet given up on her tormenting unrequited love.

To her, he was her first love, her last love, and the only one who had her eternal love engraved on her chest like a brand.

Ian said to Elsia, who was trying to reject him with all her might.

“It must have been our destiny since you came to Eusley Castle to wake me up. The rest of my time will be spent by looking at you wherever you are. Right here, Ian Cypris swears to Elsia Bennett.”

Then, Elsia’s heart began pounding again. <<less
