There's an engagement letter from the Duke family, addressed to the Baron family. To your surprise, it includes your name. You had always been considered the unloved daughter, but when you meet Duke Jeremy, you recognize him immediately. It was he whom you had rescued in the forest many months ago.

Upon Duke Jeremy's arrival to discuss the engagement in person, your half-sister, Lilia, attempted to approach the duke without any manners. Your parents also tried to suggest that he choose Lilia over you, even though the engagement letter had specified you by name.

Jeremy's patience ran out when Lilia suddenly hugged his arm as you looked on. He immediately threw Lilia to the ground and drew his sword, pointing it menacingly at her.

"How dare you touch me with those filthy hands in front of my future wife?!"

Jeremy shouted. His eyes were filled with hatred and fury. Both Lilia and your parents froze in shock and fear.
