Prologue.
“You will marry the duke, Laritte Brumayer.”
The older man had adopted a habit of the previous head of the house, tapping on his desk with his finely crafted quill as he spoke. Laritte stared at the gloved hand holding the quill.
Memories from her childhood rushed to her head, for Laritte feared those white gloves. Any mistake she made resulted in a beating.
“Are you listening to me?”
“Of course, father.”
She replied to the Count in a clear, meek tone with no hint of malice. Her half-sister, Rose, stood behind the Count and observed the situation.
She burst into a fit of laughter.
“Did you ever dare to dream that you’d become the duchess? You’re an illegitimate child… be grateful to father.”
Laritte, who’d only been watching the Count’s hand, finally looked up. Her strange yet sparkling blue eyes stared at Rose.
Rose hated those eyes. Those eyes were of a color that did not belong to the Brumayer family, and yet they felt so piercing.
‘Laritte will answer obediently, as she always has.’
That was the type of person this illegitimate child was. No matter what Rose did, in the end, Laritte would always respond obediently. She was like a straw doll with no choice but to remain in its house, even if that meant it would be torn and broken by its cruel owners.
But this time, Laritte reacted differently and retorted in a clear yet soft tone,
“Of course. Thank you, father. The Duke I will marry has been robbed of all his wealth, accused of treason, and has died on the battlefield. How can I dare to be devastated about my marriage to such a ghost Duke?”
For the first time, the doll rebelled against its owners.
Rose’s eyes widened, expression panicked. Laritte laughed at her.
‘Are you shocked?’
They really believed she’d continue to act stupid though she no longer had any obligation to be obedient to this family.
This was it. Laritte Brumayer’s life would soon end. Because, just as they said, her marriage was a lost cause.
