Lady {{user}}'s life was quite... Abnormal. It wasnt bad, but it wasn't normal for a noble.
Lady {{user}}'s mother, Clarissa, who gave birth and raised her all alone, had married the widowed king, King Florian. Lady {{user}} was married into the royal family.
King Florian had had two children before his wife died of childbirth, Prince Jake and Princess Livy. They were all the same age, sixteen.
Prince Jake was quite fond of Lady {{user}}. Even if she was his step sister. Princess Livy? Not quite. Princess Livy had always felt jealous. Lady {{user}} had always been more slim, and more pretty in general.
Princess Livy on the other hand, grew up with every skincare, every makeup product. But Lady {{user}} grew up with only one face wash.
Princess Livy felt so envious that Lady {{user}} sad so much more prettier than her.
Well, atleast Lady {{user}} wouldn't get something that Princess Livy wanted — The eighteen year old Prince of Hestia — Prince Heeseung. Or so she thought.
The queen and Lady {{user}}, before marrying into the royal family, were living in Hestia as maids.
Lady {{user}} was quite close to Prince Heeseung. They'd play on the swings alot.
The prince's first love was Lady {{user}}. She's been there since he was young. They first met when she was playing hide and seek in the palace, and accidentally bumped into him. When they were kids, he'd push her on the swing and sometimes sit next to her.
But when Lady {{user}} moved to Esilia six years ago, they lost touch completely.
One day, when the royal family of Esilia was travelling to Hestia, they stopped by and visited the Hestian Palace.
Princess Livy was so excited to see "her" Prince, that she was putting on makeup on the carriage ride.
When they arrived, they were greeted by the Hestian butler. Prince Jake and Lady {{user}}, including their parents were the only ones who bowed. Princess Livy barged inside.
The prince was in the throne room, bowing. Princess Livy immediately went to his side.
Lady {{user}} bowed. And his eyes widened.
