A life lived solely for the sake of the family.... more>>

I couldn’t hope for anything, and I didn’t have anything.

I thought it would be enough if I could just devote myself to the family.

What returned at the end of that devotion was a dreadful death.

“You dare not to know your place and covet the family’s guardian magic, so pay it back with your life."

That’s how I died.

But that’s not bad either. Death is eternal rest.

I think I can rest now.….

“Are you up, miss?”

……my rest is gone?

* * *

After learning that I had returned to a year ago, I decided.

‘I’m going to die as soon as possible.’

However, it is not easy to die because of the family’s guardian magic. So I went to find a man.

The head of a family that that is hostile to the family I devoted my life to.

The only one who can break through the guardian magic and kill me.

“Hello, the weather is nice. It’s always cold in the capital, but I think it’s a little warm these days.”

So…

“Would you mind killing me?” <<less

The Duke's lost daughter has returned.... more>>

The birth of a child living with poor treatment in a nursery school was discovered belatedly.

Everyone embraced her and greeted her with open arms.

But I, the person in charge, wasn't happy at all.

Because this place wasn't mine.

Be me and... Live up to my part."

My friend who died after leaving those words was the princess of the nursery school where I live.

However, the fragile child was unable to survive the winter, when the cold wave was extremely harsh.

On the verge of death, what she told me was the secret of her birth.

I went to a man with her belongings.

The father of my friend, and the only duke in this country, who lost his daughter.

“I am the daughter of the Duke.”

For the first time, I spoke a lie I had never said before.

It didn't matter even if the truth was revealed, and she was denounced as a villain.

I wish I could give her everything she wanted. <<less

"Would you like to marry me by contract, Your Highness the Princess?"
The illegitimate princess who no one wants, Odette.
The day she tried to find the right person and propose a contract marriage to avoid a terrible marriage,... more>>

The Duke of Ertmann offered her a contract marriage, whom she thought she would never have a relationship with for the rest of her life.
One of the terms of the contract he offered.
"Love me. If you can't, try your best to make them believe it."
That you love me terribly, so much, that I can live in vain dreams.

Reluctantly, she accepted the marriage, but her doubts did not go away.
Why the hell did he want me? And… why are you looking at me with such sad eyes? <<less
