Chapter 1 (1/2)
Princess of Cabezo, Emilie Cabezo, was set to die.
The decision was made a day after returning to the age of 12.
She died from the poison her father gave her. The reason was that she had tarnished the reputation of the family.
‘All my life I’ve only wanted love from my father. But my father gave me poison instead of love.’
“Miss Emilie, have breakfast.”
Emilie, lost in thought, raised her head.
The maid came in and set the table. The dish smelled unpleasant.
‘It’s all cold food.’
Emilie at this time ate alone in her room. It was her father’s punishment.
‘What did I do wrong?’
She couldn’t remember that. She was punished so often. All the reasons were trivial.
The crime of visiting a guest when he was in a bad mood, of being unnecessarily kind to a customer, of knowing more than her (half)younger sister, Polia, etc.
‘I can’t remember every single one of those ridiculous reasons.’
Perhaps this punishment was also given for a ridiculous reason.
“What are you doing and not eating?”
The maid asked bluntly.
She was hoping Emilie would eat quickly. That way, she’ll clean it up quickly. Emilie was struck with a look of annoyance.
“I’m not going to eat, so get rid of it.”
“Then tell me in advance. I shouldn’t have bothered you.”
The maid said nervously.
“I’m going to go down to the dining room and eat there today.”
“Yes?”
The maid was startled.
Emilie rose from her seat, unconcerned.
“You can’t! The Duke is angry!”
The frightened maid desperately blocked Emilie and tried to stop her. Emilie pushed through the door pretending she didn’t hear it.
“What’s wrong with you, Miss!”
At last the maid finally caught Emilie’s arm.
“Then you shouldn’t have brought me that kind of food.”
“You’ve been eating them well in the meantime.”
“I’ve only been watching how long you’ll be doing this.”
Emilie lashed out at the maid’s hand.
The maid stood dazed with fright.
The employees looked down on Emilie, who was hated by Duke Cabezo. The Duke of Cabezo only liked Polia, Emilie’s half sister.
When Emilie appeared at the dining room, the Duke of Cabezo opened his mouth in amazement.
However, he frowned as he had been interrupted on his cozy time with Polia.
“What are you doing here?”
A cold voice that a father says to his daughter was unbelievable. Emilie’s heart throbbed.
‘Get a hold of yourself, Emilie. He’s the one who killed you before returning back.’
No matter how much attention you crave, he’ll never give it.
I didn’t want to be hurt anymore because of this kind of person.
“Oh, I’m here to eat to breakfast.”
“Here? I haven’t forgiven you yet. You tried to take away Polia’s stuff, but you didn’t reflect.”
Upon hearing that, Emilie remembered why she was being punished.
Emilie recently lost a ring, a keepsake of her late mother. But then Polia showed up with the ring. Polia stole the ring and refused to return it. It wasn’t Emilie but Polia who took the item.
“That ring is my ring. It’s the ring my mother bought for me.”
“Your biological mother is already a dead person! Whatever she bought it belongs to me, the master of this family. If I give it to Polia, it’ll be hers.”
My father said harshly.
Emilie’s heart was throbbing.
‘It’s okay to talk nonsense about me, but I can’t stand it when my mother’s being looked down.’
Polia, who was rolling her eyes, spoke in a charming voice.
“Father, I’m fine. Please forgive my sister. Sis! Sit here next to me!”
It was a perfect performance.
Emilie ignored Polia and said to the Duke Cabezo.
“The food that comes up to my room is of poor quality. It’s mostly cold and there were rotten vegetables a while ago.”
“You’re going to eat what I’m giving you, and you’re complaining about the side dishes now?”
“I understand the difficulties in the kitchen. They can just set up one at a time, but because of me, we put food in the dining room and food in my room. The quality of the food can’t help but decrease because it’s hard. That’s why I’m going to have a meal in the dining room for the kitchen staff.”
